Awakening 01:14
lyrics

Entity lustrous from the desert of Seth Beneath the winged sun, Goatlord Banebdjet Bare thy ivory breasts, mighty Baphomet A fiery crown of lotus leaves Thy wicked smiling head adorns And curving horns Into starlit heavens reach Impaler of Nut Incarnation of endless fertility Pangenitor Pan, from the meadows and woods Asasal, entrapped for infinity The light gives birth to darkness And darkness enforces the light Twin moons of magic shining bright Above the Goat of Mendes

Reflections Of A Black Seared Heart 03:37
lyrics

Alone and silent I feel the chilling air The storm blows violent The gale wind whips my hair The darksome night my friend in need Black blood of anguish my heart shall bleed Spite and disdain freeze my mind I feel just scorn for my own kind There's just hatred - no more love And as I'm lifting up my head I hear no laughter from above Heaven's cold and god is dead Feel my longing to destroy All God's creation, it shall fall apart Share my hatred and enjoy Hear the reflections of my black-seared heart By freezing moonlight I watch the skies Pale stars are gleaming in my cold eyes When our weak mankind will soon be dead and gone You'll hear my final howl of triumph Feel my longing to destroy All God's creation, it shall fall apart Share my hatred and enjoy Hear the reflections of my black-seared heart

Night Of Beltane / A Pagan Lament 04:30
lyrics
buy track
The Horned God guards this special night Our breasts sparkled by the flickering light We lie by the Beltane fires As sunlight fades As one with all nature's beasts Pagan gods rise Let us now feast On our desires The great Earth-Mother, the god with horns Heathendom we praise Our nakedness the sky adorns With silver moonlights glaze My body seems enslaved Next to the fire, I'm falling down I feed my heart, for what it craves Witchcraft flows free 'neath midnight's gown A prophet sober, a festering heart A loving whore tears us apart A cross for the fire, and our gods depart By the fire we lie Ecstasy beneath the sky Dance around, nature-bound, one with the galaxy Celebrate the first of May with fertility All witches gather for the great mother And one upon an oaken throne Fair maiden, walk by my side Jump the fire and be my bride Our faithful coven grants us a year Wed by nature we'll be Listen! Whence he came he bore the cross And with it came what he told of, what he held as dearest: His god And this strange harbinger, he had eyes glowing with fire When he told of god's glorious empire And we were lost The cross's shadow silenced all the laughter in the woods All our love It denied all our ancient gods And wiped us... Away!

Crom - Cruach (Maggot Of Time) 04:31
lyrics

Crawling through black space and time Great worm of Cythrauls putrid heart Eternal feaster of men And gods alike Bloodied maggot from the stars I summon thee Suck my enemies into the void Rise! El-Worlds collapse into the astral plane Unspoken entity His coils ensnare mortality Crom-Cruach! Unite - Tribes of the Earth-Goddess Danu - Embrace our fallen corpses Carnun - Horned God, all witches' father Sun god Lug - In thy raging face we'll gather Skyclad - Warriors enter battle Daemonkind - Be baptised by shining metal The Goddess - At dawn her face be stained in gore Morrigu - Crow of War Despite - our grim intentions Defeat looms - by foul spawn from far dimensions Ceridwen - Deathmother sheds a lonely tear The timeworm's shape Rises on this battlefield of fear - No! A rotten musk tickles my face All my blood was shed Is this finally Death? As I get sucked back to Cythraul Carrion for the worm Earth's denied of any Soul

A Crimson Flood On Frozen Snow 02:00
lyrics

Like skeletal fingers of undying corpses The black shapes of trees grasp the cloud laden sky This cold winter night amongst all nature's forces I spit on this cruel life and lay down to die And no-one shall witness my peril The moon's mocking face seems to smile at my anguish As my hot salty tears melt the cold frozen snow Soon my blood joins this flood as my body will perish And will nourish the soil on the ground down below And the pain of this life is forgotten The gale nightwind sends shivers of cold down my spine And it feels like my heart, like a dead lump of ice Lady, I promised, all my life should be thine But the gifts that you gave were just pitiful lies Now watch and collect what is faithfully given Girl, you revel in beauty, in passionful pleasures Whilst denying that freaks are able to feel What remains for myself out of life's golden treasures Is a small sharpened razor of glittering steel Thy rememberance will cease with the season The deep lake's silver mirror shows what I will abandon A grotesque monstrosity punished by fate Love is reserved for the fair and the handsome What's left for a mishappen shape is just hate And slowly the lake freezes over

Hymn To One Ablaze 04:10
lyrics

Ablaze And glorious you stand tall Unbowed despite your fall And stalk the lamb, your prey 'Til Armageddon day I obey you - my dreams are soaked in blood In union - we'll slay the sheep of God Archangel - my heathen heart be thine In glory - my light bringer shall shine You are eternity Thy blazing majesty On Lilith's bosom - I'll rest during the day Moonblessed Hecate - guides my nocturnal way Out of the woods our legions rise And I will beat your drum An antichristian revolution We'll purge the hallowed scum Son, I appreciate your longing for me, and I'll accept When time and space collide, in darkness we shall rise So prepare - this joyous battle lies ahead of our hordes The smoke will clear - victorious we'll prevail My flaming master - fulfilled my dearest dream Sweet Satan - Rebel most supreme So join me - Lucifer, Astaroth, Samael, Baphomet Belial - Baalzebul, Asmodeus, please guide my way Unfurl my banner, raise my dark sword And don't be afraid My trusted servant Herald the hymn of one ablaze! I'll be your shadow, the nocturnal stalker Your enemies I'll slay My dreaded deceiver, my lewd and sweet tempter The fiend I will obey

Belated Divine Abortion 05:31
lyrics
buy track
I watch the brooding skies All hope is lost I'm going to end my life Upon a cross A crown of thorns I wear I writhe in pain I perish slow as a martyr And die in vain Oh, my God, so dark, the nameless one Oh, father, please, help thy son My God, why did you leave me alone? Are you still my father? I don't want to meet a fate Of this cruel kind 'But you will die for all mankind!' Why must I sacrifice my life For other's deeds? 'There must be one scapegoat that bleeds for them!' Why does a father wish death For his own son? 'Upon the earth you were abandoned!' Oh, I can't see why all this has to be 'Trust me, for I am your God!' 'Sacrifice your flesh and blood for me!' Please answer me What this fate will mean to me at all? I want to know for what reason I was born Only to die forsaken and forlorn? 'You will obey your father's decision!' Belated divine abortion A life without a sense Darkness now embraces me At the threshold of eternity I curse God, as heavy thunderclouds gather As an example how to die A most senseless way I will become a God on my own

Succubus, My Betrothed 04:10
lyrics

Flapping wings, glowing eyes Pointed teeth in a craving smile Clutched by sin, I will lie With the lady I obey Dark clouds passing by The full moon's wary eye Observes as we fly In gloomy midnight skies The nightflower will flourish just for me Entwined so deeply in its sumptuous leaves A blossom in moonlight, carved by its liquid shine Gaia, Maia, unearthly womb I crave to vanish into her tomb Whore of Hades, wench of night Sinful mistress, nocturnal bride Her scent of witchcraft, I admire On crimson lips I'll quench my desire My damnation I shall find Temptress of all Demonkind Amidst the burning pentagram She unlocks her dark dominion So take my soul, where no mortal eyes can see Unveil to me all hell's mysteries My sweet betrothed, Ill be your groom Sinister bride, my harbinger of doom The darkness, the shadows, the power, the glory Forge them all! I sense my swelling greed Temptation, Damnation, ecstatic sensation Her gate is open wide, promising everything I need You're the only one for I will fall Whore of Babylon - eat my soul Heave in sinful shivers, feel me deep Liquid fire's emanating in thee Queen of lust, Darkness I entwine Succubus, lure me in a love malign

Transcendence 02:14
lyrics

Velvet dreams of ebon darkness Swirling like shadows, sepulchral and warm Night born phantoms rend me painless To a thousand fold aspects of blackness I'm torn Sands of time are running backwards To ages enshrouded by vast cloaks of gloom Translucent tendrils stretching outwards Transcending the threshold of yesterday's doom I wander landscapes godforsaken Though crosses loom into an uncaring sky Corpses decay 'long the paths I had taken For sins born out of their hearts they had died Ash clouds on red horizons gather Emitting from stakes illuminating the night For spirit, son and holy father Their hot, cleansing fire's devouring my bride The saviour's sheep now flock the scaffold Their hypocrite faces are frozen in glee Witness my loved one's torture untold Our unison wailing in agony And as the thirteenth candle flickered My past life laid plain as a book before me I'll walk in wrath amongst the wicked Preach Christendom's fall into eternity

Christendom's Fall 05:56
lyrics
buy track
They'll fall! Listen up, woeful Christians Your enemies shall speak! Your belief's an ancient relic From a long forgotten past Born of fear and superstition Only sustained by inquisition "Take my blood and my flesh - For you I'll be slain" What's this for a weird belief Obsessed by a cross of cruelty If Christ had been hanged by the throat Then a Gallow your symbol would be Suffering and pain is most regarded Masochism is heavenly rewarded "Give your life in joy Embrace eternal glory! The worse your fate, Vaster your pain, Longer you die, The holier you'll be!" It's just perverse lie Just a weird lie Of a psychotic mind Pope, you believe you're second just to Christ Who absent-minded for his 'God' and mankind died So just let deeds follow up your lies And like your weakly idol, let yourself be crucified! Your pride and your lies A thorn in our eyes Destiny awaits - we'll not take it any longer Destiny awaits - opposition's growing stronger For war - our hearts burning For war - our hearts blazing 'So let the children come to me!' We'll restore our kingdom of which we've been betrayed The Nazarene traitor will meet his final fate And we're garbed in black - Abysmal hordes You shall witness utter darkness Our earth has to be A black orb adorned in sin - in heresy!

Requiem 02:36
lyrics

The sun is fading into black The night dictates my way to feel Cloaked by history's dusty gown Old myths appear to me so real From the ruins, ancient shadows crawl To greet the dawning day Never heard of, never noticed The sunlight soon wipes them away Out of gloomy, haunted keeps tales were told But never heard Stories of forgotten times But no-one wants to read these words Fairy-tales of merry dances 'Neath the silver full moon's face Nothing now remains But memories of the glorious Pagan days The Earth Mother's sucklings starving On her wrinkled bosom lie A crone in ragged mourning gown Waiting for her time to die Children of the mighty ash-tree World-encircling Yggdrasil Everlasting leaves have withered Ageless wood has ceased to be Sun-God Lug, thy rays were burning Say, which raincloud covered thee? Are thy warriors really beaten By those who love their enemies? The Horned Hunter sounds the bugle For all heathens' funeral march As they pass in chains, with heads bowed Under Christ's triumphal arch Subjects to the Pain-Emperor Servants to the thorn-crowned king Oppressed 'neath the Usurper's throne In eternal suffering An Anthem to those Who have been nailed to the Cross And left there for aeons forgotten
