1. Warfare Unleashed

This is the dawning of the age
Of hypocrisy and contempt
Now time has come for us to rise
And sweep this old world so unsane
We bring in pain the new order
We're all out war, we keep the flame
Through forests and icy mountains
We struggle to recall our name.
From ancient lore and lost wisdom
We learned how to face adversaries.
And now we're back and we're ready
To unleash warfare.
Raise your swords and march to war
Final battle is here
Brave warriors we are divine
Defeat the fools that tried...
To laugh at our ancestral faith
And are bur useless...
Their punishment will be extreme
They'll never forget.
Legions are marching on the plains
They fight, they burn, they kill, they rape
I don't bear no more to see them,
The weak that think they rule supreme...
They're coming from unknown wastelands
And believe trend is not for them!
I have pleasure in blasting them,
My honour must be avenged!
My anger has last too long
And I know they're getting wrong
No more negociations
Now war is all we need.
Feel the blood on your steel
Ripping their flesh and lives
Crushing their armors and bones
Shields shining high on battlefields
Victory must be ours
Victory is ours!

Raise your swords and march to war
Final battle is here
Brave warriors we are divine
Defeat the fools that tried...
To laugh at our ancestral faith
And are bur useless...
Their punishment will be extreme
They'll never forget.






2. The Rise Of The Empire Of Mine

Wandering through centuries and cold forests I scream
To survive in such a bleak world that surely needs a new aim
I feel the wrath, I feel the shame
And I know it's time to build our fate
You breathe your lies just in my face
And you are but liars in wait...
I am the answer, I am the bringer of pain to those who put me down
I am eternal, I am yesterday and tomorrow, I am the only one who pays
I am the creator of this divine monument,
I am the fury of your loss, I am your passion and your... Salvation
A new millennium to conquer, a new epoch that gives birth
To everlasting sorrow and feed the rise of my empire
Turning man against his brother
Until man exists no more.
From the depths of eternal seas
I shall rise for my victory
We declare our nation will be free
From all from of religion and heresy
I dominate this realm with blood and steel
Down on your knees and pray for me!
Destruction!
Of all that smells corruption
New beliefs
Arising from tyranny!
Rejoining me in my struggle
Erasing all from the past and lift your fist!
Blasting away in flames and burst
The ancient way, We rule supreme.
A new millennium to conquer, a new epoch with raging wars and slaughters
To everlasting sorrow and feed the rise of my empire
I see the future as a plague
A certainty of death
Nothing will ever be saved...






3. My Breath As A Blade

Through centuries
I stalk the dark paths
Of humanity
To burn it soul
I am revenge
Onto the light worshippers
I am impious
For all believers
Bow to your knees
And pray for mercy
You'll taste the cold
Of my fiery steel
My breath as a blade
Is the only known way
To eradicate
All those that my heart hates!
Fire, blood and steel!
Are my only pleasures.
Spilling your blood
On the soil
Of my kingdom
There's no hope
For you to see
One last time
Heavenly fields...
When you're in my sight
There's nowhere to escape
You can hide in your light
I will kill you the same
My hatred makes me live
With the fears I create
The new order I seek
Beyond chaos supreme!
I am revenge
Onto the light worshippers
I am impious
For all believers
Time has come for you to say
Your last prayer and face my wrath...
Through centuries
I stalk the dark paths
Of humanity
To burn and devour it soul
As a vulture
I fly over you
Weakness, your God!
It's time to burn it all.






4. Stigmata

[originally recorded on the 1997 demotape]

Father, my faith for you is unbounded
Master, I am your dominion
Father, for thee
I accept to wear these chains
Master, I feel this pain but tell me why...
Why am I so scared
Don't let the light take you
What are these marks on my flesh
Don't let the light freeze you
Father, your faith for me is sign of life
Master, I am but a doll,
Demons wrapped in white or are they angels?
Angels, soldiers of god in a black robe?
I will bleed a thousand years,
Domination is my fear
Blasphemy no more to hear
I will wear the marks of God...
Marching onwards to Golgotha
Spreading lies among the feeble sheep
And witnessing their misery drowning
In worshipping a fake idol
Bleeding to obtain their redemption
Obeying to laws no one dare to brave
And sinking in a total dismay
In the name of God
Rise with me
Anarchy
Tyranny
Blasphemy
I will bleed a thousand years,
Domination is my fear
Blasphemy no more to hear
I will wear the marks of God...






5. Immisericors

From darkest past and 'til the end
Of this fucking time
I never stop to fight against my enemies
Bleeding and screaming,
Torturing and killing this is all I know
Never did I surrender or bow to no one!
Hearing my darkest song
Signifies you will see
Your last and most cruel dawn
Dare to cross my path
And I will show you
You were wrong
I am not invincible
But my strength
Is hidden in my vein...
I am merciless
I am in command
I am thousand time more soulless
Than your so called Evil!
I don't need your fucking god,
I reject your bloody demons
No one will ever succeed
In inculcating me any useless beliefs
Long ages ago, I used to follow a path
I thought to be sure
But now I know that seeing is not believing...
Now I know that believing is lying...
Now I know that I lived through
A veil of sorrow they wrap the world with
But I've seen trough
And now I'm free...
And so it shall be done






6. Interlude

[instrumental]






7. No Glory For Traitors

Remembering the ancient times
When I was innocent
I realise how sad my life
Was because of bastard pigs.
As divine punishment
I fall on them
Like a beast of prey I am
I have no regret
Spreading terror and anarchy
In their wicked brain
I am the plague with no pity
For those who betrayed me.
Once they stabbed me in the back
And now they crawl
To avoid the endless wrath of mine
There is no glory for traitors!
I hate all those who betrayed me
And I promise I will have my revenge
I spite on such weak and feeble beings,
The ones who have no honour
Let me arise once last time
To persecute them all
And hear their endless cries...
Burning all the lies and all the pain
Eradication out of control
I feel the hatred in my heart
You will soon taste my rage so cold...
Let me arise once last time
To persecute them all
And hear their endless cries...
There is no glory for the traitors
There is no glory for treachery






8. I Never Felt A Pain That Was Not Pleasure

Hearing screams of thousand tortured souls,
My delight
Seeing despair in their eyes deformed
By terror
Cutting the flesh and twisting the wounds
'Till they die
All in the name of my long lost hope
They stolen me
Freezing their tears
And crushing their bones
In agony
I got sick because of their ideal
They turned me to stone
From the deepest abyss of man
I create my sins
Bowing down on your knees
I am your messiah
But I won't let you feel
The saviour of a normal life
Bleed for me...
I never felt a pain
That was not a pleasure
You give me pleasure
I give you pain
You feed my anger
I live through your dismay
Burning the meadows of your dreams
Fill me with strength of great killing
Imploring me to save your life
Is all I have to still believe...






9. By This, I Conquer

I am the shadow on the cross
That once you fear to see
I am the conqueror
Of your burning world so bleak
Armies of hatred I gather
To eradicate all that give birth
To weakness and hypocrisy
I come to claim my legacy
Turning each man against his god
Preaching for nothingness
Crushing all forms of worship
I am the great inquisitor
Burning the fields of forever
Drowning the caves of blasphemy
Under the sign of my banner
The blood, by this I conquer!
Power is mine
And I'll use it blindly
To throw you into despair,
And burnt by my sun
You'll implore me
To let you die swiftly...
You have nowhere to hide,
You'll perish by my hands...
This is my revenge!
Beware all of you bastards,
Who once judged me as an outcast
My faith in myself grown stronger than ever,
The time has come for us to see
That our world is nothing but heresy
I choose to fight, I choose to bleed
This is the end of the ancient order !!!
