1. Triumph Again

This day comes to soon, one more life I must consume
One more life I need to gain the freedom that I seek

Led through the tunnels and labyrinths so deep
Prisoners and slaves encircling me
I am but one, one of the same
When the sun sets this all shall change

We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you

Five men in, one leaves
Today there will be no mercy
Lust for blood grows strong
Not from me but ones watching on

We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you

Catching the gleam of a childs glad eye
Cheering and laughing while watching them die
In the arena of death they shall fall
To the delight and enjoyment of all

Verbera strike deaths blow
The last ones my hands shall know
Triumph I have seen another triumph there will not be






2. Sky Burial

Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again

Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do

Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last

As he sharpens up his blade bring the body here she lays
Looking up into the sky the birds of prey are quick to fly

Down, insert the blade deep within
Tear, cutting flesh from limb to limb
Break, crush and shatter very bone
Pray, gut the corpse the blood runs cold

Vultures drawing closer still beginning now to feast at will
Her memory now just remains all flesh and bones are carried away

Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Up, this is a sky burial

Save and preserve the top half of the skull
From this we drunk in great celebration
A toast to long life and to prosperity
A toast to this ancient archaic belief

Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again

Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do

Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Up, this is a sky burial






3. Searching

I am always
I am forever

Time I know not, death is not brought
Judger of all, my wrath shall fall

I am shapeless
I am deathless

Known by many names, never feel pain
Infinitely, existing

Where is the light ,where is my god
Shoe me a light, show me my god

Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine

Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine

I am boundless
I am soulless

No end I shall see, all praise go to thee
For all eternity, I shall never see

Searching






4. Transversing the Tides

Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron

Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me
Obulus, that is what I seek
Obulus, for you to proceed
Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me

Hermes bring them all to me, those who seek eternity
Buried with the proper rites, thou shall suffice
Breathing souls who wish to go present to me the golden bough
Looking to the oracle, cumaean sibyl
A hundred years you may find, a hundred years lost in time
Cerebus not far behind, lingering on

Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron
Transverse the tides, listen for the cries
Of the souls below, perhaps you will know

Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Obulus, does not ensure the cross
Obulus, all you know may be lost
Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Precarious, uncertain premises
Precarious, dependent on this

Touch the water you shall know only sorrow
Touch the water you shall feel only hate
Touch t he water you shall see rancid plague
Just, just one drop

Touch the water you shall hear screaming souls
Smell the water's sweet scent of wasted life
Feel the water you shall burn, burn with fire
Feel the water you shall drown in misery
Just, just one drop






5. Berserker

Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing

Fires set in the dark blazing on through the night berserker
Rage from deep in the heart undying will for the fight berserker
Hazeled fields lay precise, a challenge met with great strike berserker
Feel the double edged blade meet the soul that it takes

Burn the village to a smoldering ash
Rape and torture leave them in the past
Strike quick and kill the fast

Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field

Feeling for life no more
My lust for death is pure
Numb to the pain I endure

Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field

Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing

Don't even try as I am in your path
Call me god with your last breath
Feel the berserker's wrath

Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field

Taking apart of the helm
All of the peace has fell
Now I control this realm

Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field






6. The Last Day

Morning rise hear the crow this the last all things shall know
Asgard will fall reduced to ash cities crumble none shall pass
Trembling earth starts the trend now the final days end
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be

Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame

Break the bonds loki's rise lead the march the gods demise
Ships set sail meant to be of dead men's nails upon the sea
Undead shall hear legions deep the masters call they will meet
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be

Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame

Surt no longer waits alone deep beneath his fiery home
Fell the fire searing heat
Burn the world
Underneath the ocean depths rising up with the rest
Spew the serpents poison over
Land and sea
Heimdall guardian and watcher of the bi frost
Shreds of hope are all but lost
Hear the great horn blow
Gods take up your weapons ride unto the heavens
Now the once blue sky
Shall burn in flames

Watch the earth sink beneath untimely death under the sea
No wind shall blow no water runs just to feel the blackened sun
All that's left nothing, nothing is everything
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be

Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame






7. Reign

Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet

Murder shall soon unfold and fulfill the prophecies
Stories that once were told now are sure to be

Death was imminent fourteen pieces left
visible in the earth his death is my birth

The son shall arise avenge the conquering
A long campaign eighty it is to be
Fighting so long for I am tiring
The son has arisen and regained the reign from me

Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet

Banishment to be, placed at the side of re
In the northern sky, thunderous my cry

Assemble and resurrect, troth the magic of isis
King of the underworld, to the dead he is now lord

Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet






8. Sixteenth Chamber

[Bonus Demo]

Trapped, shackled by four chains,
strapped to a wall,
tormented day by day,
living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins,
rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear,
only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die,
the luxury its time I've lost control the
sixteenth chamber has taken my soul

Screams ripping through the air, bloodstained walls
everywhere. People dying lives are lost
this is my own holocaust.
Me existence torn from mind, flowing fast
like the sands of time. Please lift this
horrid curse, living in a world of hurt

Life line of consciousness, overshadowed by
lancination. Barely subsiting breathing,
living with the dead

Trapped, shackled by four chains,
strapped to a wall,
tormented day by day,
living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins,
rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear,
only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die,
the luxury its time I've lost control the
sixteenth chamber has taken my soul






9. Slave To The Grave

[Bonus Demo]

Mourners gather round
look at the corpse in a casket
teardrops hit the ground
what is this?

Touching the dead
feels so cold

Carrying the body
to the open ground
Final time you see it
it is going down

Mourners gather round once more
look at the closed casket
Mother faints to the floor
What is it?

Preacher say your senseless words
listening its so absurd
this ordeal is nothing new
now the cemetery owns you

You are but a slave to the grave
