Addicted to protoplasmic matter I avail myself of that wide abundance For I am the creator - the call me god This naive rattle I just cultivated to quench my thirst In my laboratory lovely named "earth" - your incubator - you grow and wilt Scrutinized and analyzed And when my work is done I simply pull the plugg I am theory - and practically don´t exist Syntax error - the unknown force of downfall My name a synonym for terror - my blood the elexier of horror I sustain all synthetic factors of physical composition Archiving of all nocturnal phenomenons The ultimate superivsor of statics - weaver of dimensions Listen to that voice so mellow - close your eyes and fall asleep But be on your guard not to go astray in the shades Back to generation zero - thrashomatic overdrive Enigmatic origin stain by hidden force Exinguishing the flame of mortals - systematic termination Monumental patron of the unhallowed hordes I sustain all synthetic factors of nocturnal grace

And so we meet herre again, old friend - welcome back to our journey´s end Here at the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind And nothing could save ysou from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore Uncertain stumbling through the haze - thousand eyes staring at your face A savage unintorupted chase - don´t expect any help from grace Now that the gleam of your eyes went out - your frightened glance betrays rising doubt About what soon is to come for you - bad fate, you can rely onto Guardians of nightfall, lead me behind - the borders I´m loosing for the peace to find Never meant to be a sinner in religious ways - "why the hell no one hears my prayers" Portals of nightfall, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond But please don´t forsake my death-yearning sould - ... I hear the demons of embers call Unbearable the burden gradual becomes - drags me down the maw, and deeper down below My corpse aglowed a long time ago yet - while passing through the chambers of the dead There arer no words to define alls this dismay - nothing you have known is destined to remain When I made you inhale my toxid breath - for I am the everlasting death Portals of nightfal, open your front - and grand me entrance to the world beyond But please don´t forsake my death-yearning soul - ... I hear the demons of embers call Just take a look around you my son - and be aware of the shades to come Then you forget what the bible tought - consolation in rain be sought So this will be your true fate, old friend - welcome back to your journey´s end Here at the keep of all darkest nights - where the source of your sorrow lies All your nightmares - only worse - have become bitter truth for your infected mind And nothing could save you from torture and grind - slowly fading - from your world No more spring will thaw your frozen heart anymore - forever, forever, not anymore

The smell of poison gass - fills the air No need to search for death - he will find you there Soil drained with blood - cities pulverized Dead bodies twisted - humans carbonized Bonegrinder - grinding bone - eathing them alive Spitting them ut dead - noone will survive War is the only answer My gun spreads bullets like cancer Bombs like rain - day and night - moving out - suicide Death angels - from the sky - descent from hell - thousands die Machingun fire - detonations - rifle rounds - devastation Grinding bones - artillery shell - draining blood - here is hell Fire, roaring thunder - will be my coming signs Planting death and havoc - among the defense lines Thousand bodies - lay ripped and torn The sound of cannon fire - roars like thunderstrom Soil drained with blood - cities pulverized Dead bodies twisted - humans carbonized Blooddrain - draining blood - eathing the alive Spitting them out dead - noone will survive War is the only awnser My gun spreads bullets like cancer

I am the antichrist - I am divinity - I am the coming storm - I am the sun that keeps you warm I am salvation - I am the greatest sin - I am your synthetic god - I am what dwells within You can run and try to hide - but you will find no shelter I am the new empire - built upon the ashes of the past So lustfull with eyes to see - human race a whore to me Raise some glasses in the sky - and celebrate the effigy Tell me what you deserve - say what you are longing for Reveal your inmost dreams to me - playing roles in a real world piracy I am hate I am greed I am the voracious breed I am what you are - I am the masterwhore - I am what you want me to be I make the cities turn to dust and worlds fading into grey I am the blasting silence in a world full of rust We live blinded and despised in a pleasure painted paradise We are the hate wer are the greed We are the voracious breed Call me punishment and pain I am the prison you are in My embrace is never ending now be a servant to your pridei Stigmata of this enslavement a world filled with scapegoats Still trying to reanimate a little bit of self respect I am the antihchrist - I am divinity - I am the coming storm - I am the sun that keeps you warm I am salvation - I am the greatest sin - I am your synthetic god - I am what dwells within Am I what you are - Am I what you want me to be Are you what I am - Do you laugh at my command Are you what you are - I am salvation - I am the real you Am I salvation for you too

Burning sign - in the sky - stroms rise - on the northern side Thunder roars - lightning strikes - man the ships - to war we ride Demons from a place unknown - where evil dwellls and dark things grow By the grace of firegods - asault our land of ice and snow Written in the prophecy ages ago - the war between fire and snow Demons unleashed from the darklands core - this time its war My heart for the lands of winter And my sword strikes for the light For my god I will die And my fate is the shield of mine Born in the land of north and here I will die Sail across the seven seas - that is your destiny Where great evil reigns - and the oceans meet eternity The fortress of shadows - in the frozen wasteland The core of darkness - mankinds fate of is at hand Oh mother of north - hold safety your sons Oh father of storms - bring us north from here Hold darkness from us - not death only failure we fear Sail across the seven seas - that is your destiny Where great evil reigns - and the oceans meet eternity The fortress of shadows - in the frozen wasteland The core of darkness - mankinds fate of is at hand Sail across the seven seas - through the seven gates of hell To the forbidden place - where great evil dwells Moving shades of black - shining eyes of fire Death hiding in the darkness - and it seems that all your gods have left Approaching the realm of fire - fighting side by side Fighting day and night - we will win or we all will die

As crimson coloures the sky - where ravens fly Staring to the sky above - the incoming darkness And lonely we die Noone who prays for us - noone whe cries We die - to the place where our dead brothers lie And now the cold grips my heart I can see them coming A heart of ice - and the eyes like winter Not afraid of the coming night - remember where darkness there is a light A burning flame forever to remain Just another grave in the cold without a name Now darkness fills the sky - see the valkries fly A last look to the sky above - we are warriors born to die

Inbetween the wastelands of endless ic and snow Lays the place abandone from mankind long ago Frozen seas of blood-towers built of flesh and bones And the presence on insanity on the shadows throne Great evil is dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost Stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust - the awaking of the ancient is at hand Spreading the reign of shadows terror - high up in the abandoned land Moving shadows at the edge of the wood - where twilight found you out there al alone In the darkness and the freezing cold - and far far away from home Ages went by in a storm of years - in the wind blasted north For a time there were rumors to hear - of shadows and the dark things you fear And beneath a great mountain hidden in darkness a shadow writhed in chains Eaten by hate to the edge of madness moving figures - playing his games All figures set - for the final strike leaving me alone against a hundred - this night So I grab weapon and shield - ready to face my fate - a quick prayer comes over my lips To those gods up there who left me up there where my brothers a wait Courage was what my gods honoured - one against hundred - and with all hope lost I engaged into battle But suddenly wind was rising and turned into a storm - a blizzard of ice and deadly cold It did me no harm but smashed my enemy and slayed then one by one And amidst the blizzard I could see moving shadows of my father And all my brothers I have lost in battle So my prayers have been heard in this darkest hour my northern gods have returned to me... Deadly blizzards - beasts of ice - in northern lands - where northmen rise Blessed by cold - the winterborn - to give your life for your god you´ve sworn Your heart for the lands of winter - and your sword strikes for the light For your god I will die And my fate is the shield of mine - born in the land of north and here I will die Ages went by in a strom of years - in the wind blasted north For a time there was a legend to hear - of a man who fought shadows and the dark things you fear Once ..... in the windblasted north ..... Inbetween the wastelands of endless ice and snow Lays the place abandoned from manknind long ago Great evil was dwelling here for ages - high in the lands of frost Now stories turn to legends - and empires fall to dust Once ..... in the windblasted north .....

Armies from the gates of hell - creatures breathing ash Massive roket impact - as the armies clash Confronting heavy armed assault - fully armored black Clashing at our boundaries - there is no turning back Burning skies - as fire beginns to rain Drowning the world in endless pain - as death comes closing in Bullet impacts cracking bones - seeking for your head Our defense pounded to the groung - leaving them all dead Wave by wave comes storming in - there is no end to see Ankledeep in pools of blood - dead bodys lying next to me Burning skies - as fire beginns to rain Drowning the world in endless pain - as death comes closing in In the light of the dying sun - your world falls to peaces In grinding artillery fire - as pain and damage increases Bomb explosions - knocking gently on your door Hear roaring cannon fire - thast´s the drum of awar That´s our art of war You can run - but never hide Here death will always find you Kill efficiency - industrialized Genocide - machanized

This morning has been born - without light - dim - forlorn A severe vault of clouds rushed across the open downs Black guant and eerie tree - skeletons danced dreadfully Tight in the claws of frost - winter showed it´s ghostly host Artillery combat - flashing cannon fire - defeaning sound Approaching slowly - but unstoppable leaves burned ground Nervously waiting in wretched ditches laid in ruins The lst instructional orders reached us a few hours ago Now seppararted from allied troops assured to come But there´s no more chance to flee from the superior enemy Hell raging high speed bullet machine gun monotony Relinquishing position means to choose suzerainty Just like an enormous thunderstorm war rules the entire killing zone Below the scourge of madness and decay that burden some commands the way A sudden detonation to my left - fire screams a ray of heat Glowing splinters hailing down - cutting through irressistable flesh A sweetly scented reek turns the air into a sick Paralyzed breathing we undertook the last offence Open fire - breacking through the hostile lines Ravaging internecine assault Crawling through the mud - terrified of the inevitalbe end Our fate uncertain like that of a cutter in a storm The nameless victims - whose faces are unknown to thee Buried deep in the noman´s land mass graves Open fire - breacking through the hostile lines Ravaging internecine assault Below the scourge of madness and decay we horribly passed away
