A route chosen By the state of my mind Darkness flourish My eyes are torches I am a demon A destroyer I am a bringer of hate A menace My desire Your hatred For me is nothing sacred My death Your joy I, a menace for your joy Destroyer A fighter I live your darkest nightmare My path In fire I find my dark desire I see the end My miseries are soon to be gone A portal appears I’m there, destination hell

A war is close Extermination Domination Is the prize of war Storm clouds over the horizon Hasten the night Blood hunger night The war of dominion Demons come crawling up from the ground And angels come down from the holiest of all To harvest the seeds of the diabolical lord War master Of hell Sacrifice all To win this war The doors of hell Has widely been opened Graceless evil Howling in pain Such pain that light is Darkness for them They search blindly for heaven To destroy All evil creatures are gathered All holy spirits are gathered There is no hope and there is no savior Death now means death forever Storm clouds over the horizon Hasten the night Blood hunger night The war of dominion Demons come crawling up from the ground And angels come down from the holiest of all To harvest the seeds of the diabolical lord The war is here Extermination Domination Is the prize of war

No body has been found Death by murderous mind Left to vanish from… …the world Your shade is damned in pain and in suffering You will wander eternally Silver coins required to end the final journey to see eternal glory Your shade is banished to eternal darkness and restless wandering You see the liberated Taxes paid and brought across the sea Banishment by Kharon To walk the shores of the river of pain Your shade is lost - in eternity Doomed to Slavery Not accepted - denied To join the old mans ferry You glance over Marsh And see the path To eternal life In the air clings The false dreams From the deceiving Elm Forever bond to be In the line of eternity Participates in the mourning song Along the shores of Acheron

In centuries have these lands Been spared from the wicked Curse of mankind But now it spread again In a known way with rats and mice It mark the path with death and unbearable pain Pestilence… penetrate skin, eats flesh And tear apart human basis Chaos… is inevitable Minds disturbed and death…is good Darkness... in progress Feel… the plague On your skin All races, children and men Pregnant women dies Even they who are without sin No one is spared The stench is pungent Flesh in decadence Bonfires…. licks the sky Burning flesh, infected flesh A layer of ashes cover the land Stories from the past repeat itself Sinister message Even blacker than before The plague have reach the northlands

They say that I'm sick Beyond human reason A mad man A mind disturbed Blocked from the world Murdering thoughts My head a prison For the thoughts that I've learned To be evil All I lived for is gone Disappeared And now must everything else Be cleared Like a plague Corroding on my flesh It must be killed I didnt wish this Its something I must do to feed on positive human mentality Desire incessant Nor flesh or soul Just thoughts and emotions Is what I long for My hate Is my motive power To stab myself through Life unaffected A nightmare for the victims A kick for me When my knife Penetrate their skin A shining blade And dreadful in mind Infernal Fire Flaming eyes Death is what you see Punished by hatred Like a hurricane I drain you dry for emotions The sound of blood that hits the ground Is amplified by thousand times My head explode and my eyes are shimmering My life was nothing I was suicidal Your death is my survival Blame me for what I am But never question what I do
6.
Deeper and deeper into nothingness, they are following him They are not aware that he can see their eyes Who will be the first to see, the end in reality Trembling hunger, bloodshot eyes, the freeman is fighting desperately to escape from his past, knowing what will come Voices from the shadows, through the wind Turning his mind mentally ill The enemies of his past, controlling the untouched ground On a crossroad he is lost, they lead him to pay, to pray for a better day Staring into their eyes, everything goes black Demon, wake me up Who will be the first to see the end in reality Mentally, victory Don't blind my eyes Let the path continue as I set loose devilry Enemies of the past, voices from the shadows I see you, I hear you all Through the wind The lies in your eyes I blind you

En fremmed er paa vei Et rep strammer seg Hvor vil han gaa Ingen vet ennå Han leder sin hær enden er nær Fiender her og fiender der Svaiende flagg passende plagg Fiender her og fiender der Han kan virke evneveik graa, traus og vinterbleik Men det skal vise seg at mannen han kan reise seg Reise seg til nok et slag er lei av hovmod og nederlag Men han gjøer hva gjøres kan For aa kapre nye land Frykten for aereskam er druknet i en dram! Med tunge steg han brøyter vei skremmes aldri, firer ei Mot vestlands veike front lar han seg bli hederskronet Sakte eter han opp sitt tap stadig stoerre ut i kamp Naar folket jaller hymnende gaar han hen og blir famlende

Deception 04:39
Fatal screams in depths of the cursed sin Life to thoughts that should never been Come on and face your destiny Present me present me death I will drag, drag you into my hell Deception, betray and death I welcome you into my bizarre world My fist in your face Poisoned thorns enter your skull A flash of life and you’re mine to deprive A ghost is haunting your mind I see tears mixed with blood Your flesh is for carrion worms When the time is right they will feed Six feet under is no rest Your soul is gone but your memories are a pest Such pain executed Remembered in time unknown You’re dead, but your heart bleeds You can feel the pains for real You are now in my hell
