1.	The Wicked Ones 04:13	lyrics	buy track
The ancestors of barbarous scums The heirs of the wicked ones The sapless cluster of spiders creeping through the cracks in the skin Makes the phantasms shudder and wake up from a nightmare Nocturnal screams of inchoate turmoil that comes from within Shatter against the silence and freeze up in the air The wicked ones Wrath of the dead How do you sleep in your cozy tomb? What is it the deceased dream about? Your only wish was being laid to rest in the gloom With no mortal bullshit pulling you out Behind closed eyes is where the horror begins Dark thoughts are growling and spreading like a thousand ants This is a war where nobody wins There will be none but us, the spawn of the wicked ones
2.	Spirit of the North 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Desecrate, destroy, deplete Put the maggots in their flesh Fill their eyes with mud and sludge A vision quest is a manifestation of deceit The drum of death is calling on the purge Spirit of the North The ruler on Earth Devastate their pointless lives And lock them up in ice and dusk Demonic whispers numb their minds The brittle bones crumble Turning into icy dust Eternal night distorts and blinds They're dancing 'round the pyre which has long faded Begging for the warmth of Muspellheim But there is no hope for their prayers to be heard They’ll all be buried under the layer of rotten snow The shadows lurking out of sight Drag the dawn along into the lower world The hands of the shaman closed around waning light Release the reign of the unbounded cold Demonstrate sublime power Whilst still not saying a single word Silently kill them one by one Stigmatize their stiff bodies Spread out the spores of white mold Horrific things are to be done
3.	The Atomic Redeemer 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Mesmerized by the death throes We watch them brawl and slit throats The shrieks develop into nothingness Stifled by the awe of the mass We're no longer writhing in torment All the pain is coming out with our vomit The venom penetrates our cores Painful swellings and deep open sores The poisoned soil shakes off the dirt bags Leaving space for the charred snags Mutated genes of the ones that shouldn't be Undismayed by the silent screams of agony Drink the noxious water greedily And imagine its' taste vividly The gizzard's filling up with wet rot Chug it, chug it! Suckled by wars and destructions Hell-bent on the absence of life Cold-blooded in its dire actions This world is doomed to wallow in conflicts and strifes Breath of fire that seems to be saving This heinous hellscape is forever decaying But not for those who are already dead Observing a great mushroom cloud Is a mental orgasm of the dreamer Grant us a disastrous fallout The atomic redeemer The flesh is melting off the bones As the emitted radiation glows The fiery tongue licks up the frightened sky Exhaling stench onto the ones who die
4.	Fear Incarnate 04:17	lyrics	buy track
A rampant blooming of decay feeding on the living cells The plenteous harvest A silent killer stalking prey applies ingenuity and stealth The great feast for Barghest The soil beneath our feet drains the vitals Obscenely sucking our filthy blood Humankind that is completely mindless Was born to fertilize the famine ground Fear incarnate Fierce, chaotic, merciless Deep dread in the minds of the ignorant masses Faeces, humus grass, mess No one’s to save your piteous asses Drowned in our own shit Choking on the dirt clods We grab the graveside We can't get out of the pit Nor can we untie the knots We are locked from the outside A tree will sprout through us As freely as ever New species will step on the dead grass Good luck in your endeavor The mouths are filled with mud and worms going through our fetid throats To nourish the vicious seed The exquisite world built on our bones Will flourish and seethe Drowned in our own shit Choking on the dirt clods We grab the graveside We can't get out of the pit Nor can we untie the knots We are locked from the outside A tree will sprout through us As freely as ever New species will step on the fresh grass Oh fuck your endeavor This is the end We're fading to black The changes impend There is no way back
5.	Thanatomaniac 03:53	lyrics	buy track
A dismal place to stay sane and lucid Obsessed with death, I won my life to lose it The moldy eyes of the dead men can't see the beauty of extinction The disembodied voice that calls me will remain a mystical affliction Disdained by inner sight Misplaced - disgraceful My blood is pouring down The mud devours it I long for someone I can stab With no regrets or fear of failure There was a corpse, I heard its throb It was my body lying there I loathe to touch my vile remains I might throw up from seeing what I've done I didn't long survive my disgrace No one will care when I'm gone The moldy eyes of the dead men The moldy eyes of the dead men can't see the beauty of extinction The disembodied voice that calls me will remain a mystical affliction I follow myself to the last way I crawl on all fours eating rancid dirt I've realized I've been my own prey My guts are my worthwhile dessert
6.	Folly of Two 05:02	lyrics	buy track
A hale encephalon inseminated by derangement Ferocious, like two colliding nebulae Spurred on by hatred, ire, and resentment Pervaded by contagious malady We are to wreak chaos Until we drop dead The demons inside us Are going mad It's no longer clear What's false and what's true We split up the fear Folly of two My soul is broken in half A foul odor ascending from the ravenous abyss Shrouds my mind with a cloud of stellar debris As soon as I inhale my psyche splits into fume and mist I'm gonna die by the poison of a mental ennui Outright insanity spreading through the hollow veins My abnormality is what your coherence craves Our singularities create a new duality My personalities collapse under their gravity Folly of two After I took the darkness inside of me The psychic havoc is the final frontier The outside existence is unspeakably dreary A nuke went off in my psycho sphere A foul odor ascending from the ravenous abyss As soon as I inhale my psyche splits into fume and mist
7.	Dystopian 04:29	lyrics	buy track
No blithesome child was begot From the hideous womb And though we all were left to rot Neither one of us fled our tomb The mutilated bodies of aliens Have been washed up onshore dead And for countless eons The altered humans will pose a threat Welcome to a deadly dystopian nightmare The expanse keeping all missing at bay You are paving your way to nowhere But the doomsday A fossil imprint of the mortal remains Is revealing the end of our era No living thing is gonna replace The soulless, faceless chimera The land desolated by darkness Was wiped off from the pages of history The individuals, pointless and bloodless Put them through the violent misery The abstract entity The apotheosis of war The ancient deity With a titanium core The lifeless aseity With the bionic mind The utter futility Of the eternally blind It's neither birth nor demise Neither existence nor nihility In-animation with the hollow eyes No longer hides its hostility The deadly dystopian world For the now-extinct human race It was either ruined or burnt The joyless, doleful place
8.	The Crimson Serpents 06:00	lyrics	buy track
“Summon the flame of the burning death Fire gets hotter depending on what they did So show them what it's like to die When it's over they've been told deathly lies This is my will so mote it be" Every strike of the blade Reanimates a dead chasm Life is starting to fade Exposing a dormant miasm The snakes are coiling 'round my hands Hissing through the mouth of death It's like a never-ending trance It taunts me with my breath A narrow ribbon of blood Is crawling down the pale chest The crimson serpents cut my throat They carry me inside their nest The end is destruction I'm smiling and I'm feeling damn great A malefic mutation Everything is cold and dead The crimson serpents burning skin Yell out the curses of death My face distorts a wicked grin Life begins where it ends I'm drowning in a bloody mass And dragging down the creeping things They'll be the masters on my death Comforting me with ghastly dreams
