Nocturnal Lyrics
[Solo]
By the light unspoken
This language of brutality
Enraptured, I have become unholy
Night's arms welcome me
Nocturnal majesty, sworn to black we'll always be
Hatred and persistence, destined to see
A complete eclipse of that hated sphere, the sun
Deathmask Divine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Removal of the eyes gives my heart a sudden chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde to gaze upon at will
How their greenish flecks befell me that starlit winter's night
I lost all that I ever was while locked within their sight
Before you sits a broken man, your fragile pinkish heart in hand
Peculiar how it can hurt so bad while love is only in the mind
I sew the gaping chest work, each thread is made with love
The bosom where I would rest my face is covered in your blood
[Bridge]
No, this is not the end
You'll live on eternally
Oh Lord, it's not the end
My secret you'll forever be
[Verse 2]
I interrupt this transformation, a familiar lust swelling in me
A long and soulful kiss, the shades are drawn, the living world can't see
The coil of entrails, how curious the smell
So pungent to my eager nostrils, hands further compelled
No. No, it's not the end
Forever you'll be in my arms
[Chorus]
I could never let you go, my darling, cold and blue
I wonder, are you dreaming still, spread-eagled, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar beneath your bruising skin
Tonight I'll lay beside you, darling, in necromantic sin
[Bridge]
Pinned to the bed sheets like a prized butterfly (you're mine)
I hear your voice so precious, echoing deeply inside
I did my best to love you while you did live and breathe
This tender taxidermy, trophy of the bereaved
[Chorus]
I could never let you go, my darling, cold and blue
I wonder, are you dreaming still, spread-eagled, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar beneath your bruising skin
Tonight I'll lay beside you, darling, in necromantic sin
Of Darkness Spawned Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pretenders to the throne kneel before him
Appalling wretched demon-king
Praise be to us his children
Spawns of evil's reckoning
Doomed from the inception
Claiming fire as our home
Licked by flames our steel grows
Stronger to be honed in hate forevermore
[Verse 2]
A hellish scorn quickly approaches violent climax
Infernal legions the time nears when we'll strike
The shadows serving to enshroud us
Our blackened hearts
Those forgotten looming just beyond their sight
[Verse 3]
The blood of pariahs through our veins
Sin and hell our mainstay
Forever to remain
O to ye, wicked ones
And o to blood a reaper's song
Demons born of man's sickest desire
Those of the darkness spawned
Fires of hell I stoke thee high
Through the open gates ever so wide
Bury me in sin
The daggers have been raised
Now let's begin
[Verse 4]
Margins of sanity blur into night
As one will move beyond the light
Murder effortlessly
Without a tear
Our motives to them never clear
[Verse 5]
Damn this liar's world
We are the truth you've all awaited
Impaling holy fallacy
The filthy blood of Christian seed
Akin to the looming serpent
We've patiently anticipated
The time to rise is upon us
[Verse 6]
My lord, I kneel before you now paint me bloody red
Bathing in blasphemy I beat the path that's traveled less
The forgotten; your minions; our souls of black
We are the thousands in the darkness waiting to attack
[Verse 7]
Infernal legions--their heads shall be your prize
Trophies to our dominions of conquests only fantasized
O to ye, wicked ones
And o to blood a reapers song
Demons born of man's sickest desire
Those of the darkness spawned
Fires of hell I stoke thee high
Through the open gates ever so wide
Bury me in sin
The daggers have been raised
[Outro]
O the dance of death she's a sweet one
To our victory we will drink
Climactic Degradation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Devastate, leave them weeping in your wake
A family's broken dreams with gloved hand I separate
Mutilate them, carve them up bring them to their knees
The power of a knife at hand; if it breathes it fucking bleeds
[Bridge]
Mankind end time disgusted with this race
I pluck them from the universe pawns in my favorite game
[Verse 2]
Cut them all down; completely randomized
Never a clue, nor a trace is left; identity disguised
I measure joy in suffering; with a rope and blade I maim
Humiliate these fallen souls this earth of sick disgrace
[Chorus]
Climactic degradation; rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race; I'll make them bleed for me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'm taking you down with me into this hell of hells
Stabbed in the throat sputtering blood
My need is never quelled you must stand here before me
My judgement ends in death I stand above your broken bodies face speckled in red how sweet it is
To revel in your flesh; I won't stop until the last is dead
[Chorus]
Climactic degradation; rapture in blood achieved
Suffocate them, rip them, rape them
Make them fucking scream
Orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
Annihilate this bastard race; I'll make them bleed for me
