1. Descent Into Chaos

This is the age of chaos
This is the age of war
This is the age when empires fall

This is the age of terror
This is the age of retribution
This is the age of mass executions

This is the age of chaos
This is the age of war
This is the age when empires fall

This is the age of death
This is the age of fear
As images of fire and brimstone near

This is the age of chaos
This is the age of war
This is the age when empires fall

This is the age of iron
This is the age of fire
This is the age of vengeful desire

This is the age of chaos
This is the age of war
This is the age when empires fall

Horns
Hooves and a thousand young

The gate, winds of darkness
Celebration
Of forbidden rites

Slithering, writhing with desire
Endless orgies, endless night

3. War In My Blood

Bastard son of a thousand wars
Born and raised in endless combat
Human killing machine was bred
A trail where the dead soldiers lie
Years splattered with blood
Walk a path strewn with corpses
Doing mission after mission
Now war is in my blood

War is in my blood

Memories of forgotten wars
Keep haunting my mind
Images of death and suffering
The bloody nightmares never end

Withdrawn in the woods
With the bloodhounds on his track
Jungle warfare tactics
Used to have them trapped
Taking them down one by one
As screams fill the night
Stabbing, shooting, impaling
Those weaklings all will die

They drew first blood
No deed left undone
They drew first blood
Now death will come

War

Driving spikes through their limbs
As war is in his blood
Hunters become the hunted
Since they drew first blood

Bastard son of a thousand wars
Born and raised in endless combat
Human killing machine was bred
A trail where the dead soldiers lie
Years splattered with blood
Walk a path strewn with corpses
Doing mission after mission
Now war is in my blood

War is in my blood

4. Shrapnel Rain

Streets crowded with troubled faces
Under an oppressive reign
Of ruthless radical terror gangs
On a new violent campaign

Restless sons of a cruel creed
Will continue their holy war
Martyrs of a sacred mission
Considered worth killing for

The iron crown of terror
Rest upon death's head

Masked gunmen out to kill
Unleashing the bullet rain
Nailbombs being detonated
Hundreds of victims slain

Ravenous religious killing spree
Streets colored deep red
Human remains lying all around
It's time to collect the dead

The iron crown of terror
Rest upon death's head

Massive blasts detonate
Among the unsuspecting crowds
Shards of metal and glass
Are flying all around
Explosions claiming casualties
Will plague this cursed ground
Headless bodies and severed limbs
Will continue to be found

Emissaries of death
Are the kings of the land
The sons of Dajjal
Wield their deadly hand

Shrapnel rain
Shrapnel rain

Emissaries of death
Are the kings of the land
The sons of Dajjal
Wield their deadly hand

Shrapnel rain
Shrapnel rain

Masked gunmen out to kill
Unleashing the bullet rain

Ravenous religious killing spree
Streets colored deep red
Human remains lying all around
It's time to collect the dead

Explosions claiming casualties
Will plague this cursed ground
Headless bodies and severed limbs
Will continue to be found

5. Holy Blood, Holy War

Thirst for power
And raised with cruelty
Crusaders have come
From the house of war
To settle the conquest
Of the holy land
From hordes of unholy infidels

For the hills of crucifixion
And for the dead messiah's grave

Bastard sons
Of bastard faiths
Rape and pillage
And lay to waste
Blessed religious
Killing spree
While they wage
Their holy wars

Massacres
Without remorse
No mercy
For what they've done

Holy blood, holy war
Spilling blood spill some more
Holy blood, holy war
Death will reign evermore

Lambs bleed
To redeem mankind
Violent myth of cross and blood
Their gods are
Of a wrathful kind
As he leaves
His martyrs to rot

Massacres
Without remorse
No mercy
For what they've done

When the crescent blade cuts the head
And spilled blood soaks the land
Bleed for the bleeding lords
By their unholy hands

Sons of Dajjal they still live on
Singing their apocalyptic songs
Sworn to avenge the crusades
Kill those who challenge their faith

Bastard sons
Of bastard faiths
Rape and pillage
And lay to waste
Blessed religious
Killing spree
While they wage
Their holy wars

Massacres
Without remorse
No mercy
For what they've done

Holy blood, holy war
Spilling blood spill some more
Holy blood, holy war
Death will reign evermore

When the crescent blade cuts the head
And spilled blood soaks the land
Bleed for the bleeding lords
By their unholy hands

6. Killzone

Stealthy maneuvers in the dark
Silver wings flash in the night
Skull stares with a sardonic grin
Crossed daggers instilling fear

Killzone
Death squad
Killzone
Killer assault

Elite squad of the chosen few
Assassination mission unfolds
Eliminating those who oppose
In premeditated assault

Nocturnal raids, shotgun blasts
Car bomb and silencers
Bullet riddled bodies

Sanctioned by a hidden hand
Meticulous executioners
Of illicit special ops
Beheading the antagonist
It all happened before
Terror against terror
In a nebulous war

7. Lord Of The Files

Crashed on distant shores
Stranded in a hostile world
Bereaved of kin and kindred
Now left to survive on their own
Dormant atavistic rage
Emerging once again
Hunters will soon proclaim
Mastery over the meek

Man against man
Fist against fist
Will against will
Strength against strength

Cut the throat and spill the blood
Celebrating the hunters' prey
Insane lust for power
Foreshadows a cruel reign
Pig's head on a stake
Buzzing halo of flies
Rancid smell of decaying flesh
Lord Beelzebub calls

Man against man
Fist against fist
Will against will
Strength against strength

Thin layer of civilization
Evaporates as sovereigns vanish
Antagonism about food and fire
Each must now fend for his own
Malevolent or benevolent
Power is contested
By numbers and sheer force
Losers fly or perish
Violent power takes control
Like a pack of dogs they run
They love the thrill of killing
They are hungry for the smell of blood

Cut the throat spill the blood
Show all who dominates
Chasing those who resist
Through the wilderness they roam
Like the pig's head on the stake
The dissident head they want
Live or to die, that is nature's law
Hear Beelzebub calls

Man against man
Fist against fist
Will against will
Strength against strength

8. Desolation Empire

Behind the walls of stone
Where the falling kingdom lies
The pillars of the throne
The signs of gradual decline
Through the cracks in the walls
Decay slowly seeps inside
Horrifying phantasm
In the dead city of night

Desolation empire desolation
Desolation empire desolation

Behold leviathan's crown
Though the jewels no longer gleam
As powers of the katechon work
Against the course of time
Black smoke inhaled
From the pit poisons the mind
The flames of darkness burn
Visions of an apocalyptic kind

Desolation empire desolation
Desolation empire desolation

Black apostasy rise
Sin will wash away the stains
On the horns of carnality
The endlessly impales
Shattered dreams and twisted truths
The antichrist breaks their chains
Burn the remains away
Of a dying age

Leviathan's crown reign
Abominations desolate

Tumbling pillars of strength
Slaughter at the altar of will
Restoration of dormant power
Apostatic resurrection in sin

Leviathan's crown reign
Abominations desolate

Black apostasy rise
Sin will wash away the stains
On the horns of carnality
The endlessly impales
Shattered dreams and twisted truths
The antichrist breaks their chains
Burn the remains away
Of a dying age

Leviathan's crown reign
Abominations desolate

9. The Hand Of Darkness

Nocturnal eternal
I wield the scythe of death
The end of your suffering
Comes with your last breath
Swinging the axe
And your head will roll
The end of your life
Will be death's toll

Satan's lungs
Breathing fire
Deadly sins
Devil snake
Lilith's grace
Rise to kill
Carnal lust
Bound in chains
Demon claw
Tempter's call
Burning flames
Devil's jaws

The hand of darkness
Casts its cruel spell
Bestial avenger, slayer from hell
Black exorcist
The black hand of death
Cutting your throat
With blood you are blessed

Sadistic killer
Burning with wrath
Antinomian lord of the flesh
The venom pulsates
In my unholy blood
And as you die
So does your god

Cruelty calls for cruelty
And like a dog you cry
You can plead for mercy
But still you will die
There is no pallid savior
That comes down from the cross
The hand of darkness reigns
So better bleed for my god

The hand of darkness
Casts its cruel spell
Bestial avenger, slayer from hell
Black exorcist
The black hand of death
Cutting your throat
With blood you are blessed

Cruelty calls for cruelty
And like a dog you cry
You can plead for mercy
But still you will die
There is no pallid savior
That comes down from the cross
The hand of darkness reigns
So better bleed for my god

The hand of darkness
Casts its cruel spell
Bestial avenger, slayer from hell
Black exorcist
The black hand of death
Cutting your throat
With blood you are blessed

Satan's lungs
Breathing fire
Deadly sins
Devil snake
Lilith's grace
Rise to kill
Carnal lust
Bound in chains
Demon claw
Tempter's call
Burning flames
Devil's jaws

Unholy saturation
Instinctive urge to kill
Black exorcism
My sadean will
Primordial waters
Where the dragon lies
Will be awakened
And someone will die

The smile of Astaroth
Of serpent-like grace
The gleaming red eyes
The shining black face
Lusting for power
The call of the beast
Vengeance incarnate
Tooth and claw unleashed

10. Repossessed

Reciting from the book of the dead
The ancient passages are read
The release of evil entities
After dusk
Unspeakable evil in the woods
From the time before time
They will try
To possess them all

The first soul to be swallowed
She starts speaking in tongues
Forced to have her
Decapitated
Enter the wooden house again
Buried the guts of your dead friend
There's no way out
Of this cursed place

Possessed again
In this night of dread
Possessed again
At dawn they are dead

Awakened by the morning light
Night of possession he survived
As his demon eyes disappear
Soon possession reoccurs
As the darkness sets in
The corpse rises
From its grave

Lifeless objects fill the room
With hysterical laughter
As the doors to madness
Are open wide
Four more visitors arrive
And one by one they fall
Damned forever
To burn in hell

Possessed again
In this night of dread
Possessed again
At dawn they are dead

Possession
Necronomicon's dread
Possession
Black book of the dead
Possession
Hear the tortured cries
Possession
Join us or die

Possession
Necronomicon's dread
Possession
Black book of the dead
Possession
Hear the tortured cries
Possession
Join us or die

Fiendish corpses slain
Chainsaw dismemberment
Limb by limb
They are torn apart
Hacking up the second
Split open his skull
Blood and guts
Drip from the walls

Severing the dead flesh
Chainsaw lust in his eyes
Merciless butchery
Another one dies
Ripping the possessed to shreds
Severed body parts
Of doomed souls
Dead yet alive

Possessed again
In this night of dread
Possessed again
At dawn they are dead

The curse of the Necronomicon
Opening pathways to the beyond
The gate to darkness
Must be closed
Wading through the guts of the dead
Banishment needs to be read
To avert
The forbidden evil

Dreaded passages inked in blood
Hold the keys to close the gate
The void transcending
Space and time
Supernatural horror
Sucked into damnation
The Necronomicon
Has sealed your fate

Possessed again
In this night of dread
Possessed again
At dawn they are dead

11. Legion Of The Damned

[feat. Peter Tägtgren]

During the great war
Armies ever heading east
Insurrection was avenged
With merciless cruelty
Mass executions
In the promised land
Black clad soldiers
Reigned with an iron hand

Legion of the damned
Legion of the damned

Behind the front lines
Oppression with blind hate
Senseless efforts to decapitate
The partisan snake
Ever being pushed backward
By the red armies overrun
The coming end of the bloody tyranny
Could not be made undone

Legion of the damned
Legion of the damned

Ruins of the reich
No absolution
For the horrors you have done
Prepare a final flight
Enter service in a foreign legion
No more questions asked
While being moved to faraway fronts
Executing the oppressed
Fighting another war
That cannot be won

Bereaved of all ideals
Terror is the tool of their trade
Serving their new masters
Remain forever without roots
And without name

Oppressive tactics
Once learned in a war of extermination
Remorseless mercenaries
Use their skills for a colonial grave
Hunting rebels again
Lost soldiers of a damned battalion
In another guide
The death's head's remnants kill again

Bereaved of all ideals
Terror is the tool of their trade
Serving their new masters
Remain forever without roots
And without name

Legion of the damned
Legion of the damned
