Sic Semper Tyrannis

You plot schemes, you put people down
To satisfy your lust for power
High ridin’ psychopath
Though when alone you cower
You cannot trust a single soul
You sleep with one eye open
Just when you think you’ve reached your goal
Well… Tyrannicides are after you
You know its true
Your plans undone
Your time has come
Your headless corpse lies on the ground
Sic Semper Tyrannis
A fate to which your kin is bound
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Your head left for the crows to feast
Sic Semper Tyrannis
If there’s a lesson worth to teach
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Will it be a poisoned blade?
Wielded by a favoured son?
Could it be the Rule of the mob?
That gets you hanged under the sun?
Will you decide to pop the pill?
And shortly after blow your brains out?
You hope to die from a heart attack
But I don’t see that play out
Not for you…

Have a slice
Take another
Until you take it all
Have a sip
Drink my brother
Until you drown your soul
Small Steps Corrupt
Tell a lie
Tell another
Until your "Truth" is Law
Take a step
Stomp another
Until you conquer all
Small Steps Corrupt

Vae Victis

War dwells in the east
Preying on lives like a beast
Among other needs
A civil protest turned to a call
Gathering warhounds
From allover the world
Phosphorous Rain
Barrel bombs fall from the sky
Driven insane
Their skin melts as they die
Phosphorous Rain
Barrel bombs fall from the sky
Nothing to gain
From ending civilian lives
Innocent lives lost
In anguish and despair
Nobody seems to care
Cities razed to the ground
Children buried
Under the playgrounds
Phosphorous Rain
Barrel bombs fall from the sky
Driven insane
Their skin melts as they die
Phosphorous Rain
Barrel bombs fall from the sky
Nothing to gain
From ending civilian lives
Some made the choice to flee
To the fortress beyond the sea
For shelter and life they plea
Into the lands of the enemy
Never Ending Suffering

We Happy Few

You see the world in black and white
We Happy Few know that’s not right
The Shades of Grey we know to well
For our Journey takes us straight through Hell
We Happy Few
We walk the eightfold path
We Happy Few
The seekers of knowledge and fact
Pray while you cause your own demise
Discard the truth to live with lies
We Happy Few will stand and fight
For a future stripped of hate and plight
We Happy Few
We walk the eightfold path
Honest and True
The seekers of knowledge and fact
We Happy Few
Humility we lack
We happy few
We chose the eightfold path

Ravens

We fought with swords
I slew the Gothland serpent
We fought with swords
The Barons of Danube
We fought with swords
I touch now my last moments
We fought with swords
51 battles
Those who see all
The rise and fall
Ravens take to flight
Up high they soar
Through thunder’s roar
Wings as black as night
The flight takes rise
Beyond mortal skies
The Great Hall drawing near
Words of great deeds
Blood splattered shields
They whisper in His ear…
They fought with swords
He lost a son named Rogvaldur
They fought with swords
The Kings of isle Lindis
They fought with swords
Before the isles of Indir
They fought with swords
51 battles
The time has come
Your mortal son
The vipers tear his flesh
Vengeance he speaks
And death he seeks
As now he draws last breath
A smile now wry
It’s time to die
To feast in Hall up high
Heroes await
Valhalla’s Gate
I laugh as I die…
The piglets would be grunting
If they knew the plight of the boar…

Deny The Witch
04:28
|

She’s been by our side since the beginnings of time
A creature of Nature, of wisdom and freedom combined
The mystic the Healer the woman we know as the witch
Offended the New God, made fools of his priests
Violence they Praise
Hatred they preach
They will not rest
Until you deny the witch
Through lies and deceit she’s been victimized
A woman so proud, forced to exist in disguise
They hunted her down, They burned upon the stake
Her spirit endures, she will return make no mistake
Violence they Praise
Hatred they preach
They will not rest
Until you deny the witch

Halls Of Extinction

|
Come with me and witness the end of our kind
A journey to the countless crimes of mankind
Bear with me, use all senses not only your eyes
Trust in me and distinguish the truth from their lies
The Halls of Extinction stand tall
Waiting for our turn to fall
Once and for all
The Halls of Extinction our Fate
The end is upon you human race
Lost, without a trace

Inglorious Fate
08:05
|

|
Rage, quenches my fears it makes things clear
A feeling rendered so familiar
It’s Red Veil covering the world
Eclipses everything I hold dear
Asserts its hold as it unfolds
Hate, she whispers only accusations
Rage’s fisty little sister
Wrapping my soul in her embrace
What she says agitates her brother
Eager to point out who’s to blame
They dictate my life
I’m forced to abide
Pride, the father sits upon his throne
Controlling utterly his children
He will not tolerate disgrace
Filling my head with obligations
Leaving no choise but to obey
They dictate my life
I’m forced to abide
Is there no escape from this Inglorious fate?
Why should there be an escape from Mother Fate?
