- The Burning of Sodom
[Music: Durkin/Meyer]
[Lyrics: Hoglan/Durkin/Doty]
Once, the tale of Sodom
Brought anguish to the eyes
Of all god-fearing people
With eternal afterlives
Sin and lust run rampant now
- An Ancient Inherited Shame
Femininity, a sacred life
My goals and dreams achieved, or soon they might
Unintruded being, innocent
Young, with a hopeful future to be spent
I can't believe my idiocy
You came along with your invasion
Your act of violence not of lust
- Darkness Descends
FEAR
The world now stands ancient, showing her age
Antique, senile, archaic
Peroration impending, not one to assuage
The human remnants of earth
Pandemic winds chill the soul
Eradication of the will
Nihilism extracts its toll
- Hell's On Its Knees
The master knows all temptations
He'll bring you to your knee's
And when you think
That your through
He will spring on you
Hell's on it's knees
- Hunger of the Undead
[Music: Durkin/Meyer/Hoglan]
[Lyrics: Hoglan]
I walk through death's door
I'm frightened to see
A determined fate is not in store for me
No light in the tunnel
Or brimstone awaits
- Leave Scars
I am an angel of darkness
Abhorrent to those who are frail
The strength inside me is my will to believe
In myself, with no self-betrayal
My force is my own preservation
My destiny mine to control
I don't live my life to be judged by anyone
Surviving intact is my role
- Merciless Death
You fall before us, shattered in vain
You thrash about us, screaming in pain
Tortured and flaming, you're on your knees
You fucking whores, it's us you must please
We'll give you merciless
We'll give you merciless
We'll give you merciless
- Never To Rise Again
Reality has come to call
A modern-day plague upon us all
As we've come to pass and deal with strife
Afflicted ailments dissipate life
For all false prophets predict time of doom
The demise of man shall come too soon
With each passing of the dying day
The false ones predict and finally say,
- No One Answers
As you enter your realm of incorruption,
The values of morality in their pristine state.
The walls that surround you in a gentle caress,
Protect you from a world of hate.
And the Earth is full of lurid madmen,
Misogynists abound waiting to produce your fall.
But the being you should most fear when you turn out the lights,
Is in no way human at all.
- Older Than Time Instead
What have we done?!?
The box has been opened--we fall
Three words are unleashed to plague us to the end
Stick around and witness our demise
The human condition, read "you give and I'll take"
It seems older than time itself
We've established what we have here
- Perish in Flames
Your orders are given, the time for destruction is now
They'll give you no reason, you'll be the first so be proud
They've tracked you on radar, the fighters will lead to attack
The terror will freeze you, because you know you might not make it back
Gods of war have gone insane
You've played with fire, you're to blame
Perish in flames
- Right Now
I'm a box I'm a screen
I'm every nightmare in every dream
I am the window over your land
SO TURN ME ON AND TAKE MY HAND!
Watching you, watching me
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Can't find myself lost in your lies
- Time Does Not Heal
It's always darkest before it goes
Completely black
I'm older now so I should know
You never can look back
But the scars of childhood memories
Dominate my head
The inner pain I've vowed to keep
- We Have Arrived
We'll hit the blazing stage
In a glare of smoke and fire
We will provide the metal
Just for your desire
We have arrived
We have arrived
We have arrived
