NECROMANCER
Obsessed, no rest
Seduced by the allure of death
Lost souls you trust
Reduced to nought but bones and dust
Cold crypts you'll seize
To master morbid mysteries
Dark dreams devour
Awaiting the nocturnal hour
The ritual falls tonight
Dark shadows fill your sight
Disquieting the dead's final rites
Necromancer
The tomb is what you crave
Necromancer
Exhuming from the grave
Necromancer
Cold voices fill your head
Necromancer
Communion with the dead
Possessed by Death
And welcoming its cold caress
Strong will, sharp blade
Your blood must spill to feed the shade
An arc of light
Defies the darkness of the night
Lost Arts once told
To Emperors and Kings of old
Paint your sigil
Traced in fire
Speak the words that tell of your desire
Incantations
Shades arrive
Seek dark secrets from the afterlife

WAR WOLF
There's a beast that stalks this land
Far more fearsome than the hound
Falling between wolf and man
The War Wolf hunts on sacred ground
Aconite: a deadly infusion
Driving out the wolf in a man
Cast you out!
Defied with a howl and a shout
Send thee well
Faster and surer to Hell
This cunning creature can be told
When steel or iron strike the beast
And spit him crosswise in the cold
To show the human underneath
With ash-twigs
we'll thrash you without mercy
Inside The Circle
bound by blood; we'll bleed your soul...

THE SILENT GOD
She stands in the fire and watches
The Blood Moon's high tonight
Auroras erupting before her tonight
She finds he own mind's grown disdainful
Lamenting what she had
But the rebirth of The Earth is painful
And sad
Burn down the skies
The Heaven's demise
In vengeance she cries
The Silent God
Would men take revenge like The Rider?
No dousing her desire
When The God's ancient blood
burns inside her like fire
She has no desire to meet regret
When guarding what is left
In the silence where Greed speaks in secret
With Death
Death is the key
In silence is she
Surviving the giants that rise from the sea
Black is the land
By War's Firebrand
Courting her vengeance
and forcing her hand...

THE GREAT DESTROYER
What heals all wounds
Yet lays waste to us all?
What can be killed
But cannot be destroyed?
What kills more people than wars?
What will extinguish the stars?
Fear the passage of Time
No weapon is known to mankind
That can match its might
Watch now as all
Your temples and empires fall
Tremble in awe
Destroyer of your world...
What has run out
At the moment we die?
Years flashing by
In the blink of an eye
What makes achievements seem grand?
What leaves them lost in the sand?
Time will outlast all life and craft
Crushed into dust 'neath the weight of the past
It's relentless...

Bury The Heretic

BURY THE HERETIC
In the darkest years
Of persecution's wrath
It was often feared
We would return from death
Evil's reprise
Feared and despised
Never to rise
As the flesh melts from this sinner's bones
Onlookers quake in fear and then they bury me prone
In the cold and dank unhallowed ground
My dismembered, staked remains are all that are found
Redemption's funeral pyre
Quell the unquenchable fire
Reopen tombs from the past
Bury The Heretic fast
At the death-knell's toll
Prison made of flesh
Blackened, earthbound soul
Never to find rest
In the grave my mouth is stuffed with stones
Silent lips that speak no more in blasphemous tones
Fools believe belief can change by force
No repentance, no redemption and no remorse
Hate all Mankind
Building meaningless shrines to 'Devines'
Fate of the blind
Knelt at altars of lies, with closed eyes
The coldest eyes
Hatred for Mankind
Buried like a deviant, alone
Twisted fate of all whose actions challenge God's throne
Blackest flames of gnosis darkly burn
As a beacon for my necromantic return

I Am The Thunderer

I AM THE THUNDERER
Riding the lightning-bolts down from the sky
Striking with vengeance at men born to die
Rending asunder with fire and steel-claw
I am the Thunderer, I am the Spirit of War
Make your stand
Take their lands
Malady
Fear is insanity
Shed mere humanity
Ride into the storm
I'll watch you die
Where angels lie
I'll watch you die
Mocking the gods with your treaties and 'peace'
Murder and savagery are your release
When the skies rumble and fall at your door
I am the Thunderer, I am the one you abhor.
Spill your blood
Crimson Flood
...And die for me

THE GHOST ROAD
I'm walking the ghost road
And taking my last steps into silence
That vast, endless night...
I'm reaping what I've sowed
The cruel seeds of sorrow and of violence
No more for this life
Can you hear them? Can you hear their faint cries?
Unspoken
Oaths are broken as all hope in them dies.
Awoken
And now choking on the smoke of old lies
No hope left
For those bereft, screaming up at the skies
I'm walking the ghost road
And turning my steps toward an eternal,
Supernal dark path
The waning sun grows cold
To cross the last bridge now means to burn all
With Infernal Fire's wrath
Wrath!
When a dear soul departs
Those with a grief-stricken heart
Are told to stay strong, but it's wrong
When the world's very fabric is falling apart
Long everlasting Peace
Is guarded by barking beasts
Whose anger and hunger breeds something
That seethes beneath sadness
Unleashed with the madness of grief
Through the Kingdoms of Shadows
Where the lost ones must walk alone.
To the Fields of Forever
Where the seed of ascension is sown
Ancient ascent
Through the fiery spheres of the Heavens
Empyrean
Black wings unfurl
As the world dissolves into darkness
The final light of the Sun
Open hearts burn with might
Upon endless oceans of night
