YMIRS DYING BREATH
IS THE DAWNING OF THIS WORLD
HIS REMAINS FORM LAND AND SEA
GODS ARE FORGING, FRAMING
PERFECTERS OF THE LAND
VICTORS ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Solo - Letzelter
SUNKEN MIDGARD SNAKE
TIED INTO THE SEA
FENRIR CHAINED AND HEL AWAY
THIS PLAIN WILL BE GIVEN
TO THE SONS OF MEN
TO PROVE AS WARRIORS IN THEIR DAY
ON THE LAST DAY HORNS WILL CALL
AND GATHER US INTO THE FIGHT
ENEMIES OF ORDER STAND AGAINST THE LIGHT
FIGHTING FOR THE VICTORY
‘CAUSE NOW THE MEASURE MUST BE DONE
ENEMIES OF ORDER STAND AGAINST THE SUN
SO IF YOU CALL ME TO WAR
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU
AND IF WE FOUGHT IT BEFORE
WE WILL MAKE IT NEW
ARMAGEDDONS DUE (2x)
IN THE END THE GODS
WILL CALL THE FINAL FIGHT
TO THE CHOSEN OF THE SLAIN
TO THE TWILIGHT OF THE GODS
AND MEN ALIKE
WHEN ETERNITY’S THE GAIN
ON THE LAST DAY HORNS WILL CALL
AND GATHER US INTO THE FIGHT
ENEMIES OF ORDER STAND AGAINST THE LIGHT
FIGHTING FOR THE VICTORY
‘CAUSE NOW THE MEASURE MUST BE DONE
ENEMIES OF ORDER STAND AGAINST THE SUN
SO IF YOU CALL ME TO WAR
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU
AND IF WE FOUGHT IT BEFORE
WE WILL MAKE IT NEW

Solo - Letzelter
BEFORE THE DAWN OF TIME AND THE ADVENT OF MEN THE DARK AEGIS BEGAN
FROM THE ABYSS OF STARS THE GREAT OLD ONES DESCEND
THEY MADE THE WORLDS THEIR OWN, WITH NO REGARD OF LIFE, UNLESS TO PRAISE THEIR NAME
CREATED BLASPHEMY, THE MONUMENTS THEY FRAMED
DARK AEONS OF RAGE IN THEIR UNFATHOMED POWER
DECADENCE OF FORCE
BUT EVEN TO GODS COMES THE DAY, STRIKES THE HOUR
AS HISTORY TAKES ITS COURSE
CAME THE TIME OF MEN, AND ALL THAT’S LEFT IS LUNACY OF THEIR DECAY
THE TERRORS WE CAN’T GRASP, TRACES OF THEIR SWAY
THEIR SPAWN WENT NEVER AWAY
MADNESS THEY BESTOW
THE CULTS ARE CHANTING THEIR PRAISE
AND DEEP DOWN BELOW
IN R’LYEH, DREAMING
WAY DOWN BENEATH THE SEA
THE DARK OLD ONE LIES WAITING
IN DEATH DEFYING DORMENCY
SCHEMING THE END OF ALL THAT BE
BROODING OF THE TERROR HE’LL UNLEASH
MAD ABDUL AL HAZRED IN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD, THE NECRONMICON
TORE THE SHROUD CONCEILING THE FORGOTTEN ONES
BROUGHT FORTH THE SHADOWS OF THE DEATHLIKE DEMIGODS, WHEN BETTER THEY REMAINED
BUT AN IDEA OF DREAD IN LIMBO, AWE, ARCANE
THAT IS NOT DEAD WHICH ETERNALLY LIES
IT’S WAITING FOR A CALL
DIRE IT’S MIND, ALWAYS WILLIN’ TO RISE
FOR ALL ELSE TO FALL
SUMMON THE DEAD OF OLD AND YOU MAY FIND A POTENCY UNDREAMED OF MEN
THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR MIND AND WIPE AWAY YOUR KIN
THE SCIONS WALK AMONG US
BASTARDS OF THE SEA
THE DEEP ONES, BREED OF DISGUST
WANT HIM ROAMING FREE
IN R’LYEH, DREAMING
WAY DOWN BENEATH THE SEA
THE DARK OLD ONE LIES WAITING
IN DEATH DEFYING DORMENCY
SCHEMING THE END OF ALL THAT BE
BROODING OF THE TERROR HE’LL UNLEASH
Solo - Letzelter
Solo - Friedt
AN EVIL OLDER THAN THE HUMAN MIND CAN GRASP
AND IN STRANGE AEONS IT MAY OUTLIVE EVEN DEATH
TO OVERCOME WE’LL FAIL
THEY ARE UNSPEAKABLE, UNTHINKABLE AND DREAD
THEY STILL BE LURKING AFTER ALL ELSE WILL BE DEAD
THIS COSMIC EVIL PREVAILS

YOU GOT TO BREAK THE SILENCE
YOU BROKE THE CHAINS AND YOU RAN
NOW YOU’RE A FREE MAN AGAIN
YOU ARE HUNTED
THE CATCHPOLE IS SAT ON YOUR TRACE
WILL YOU ESCAPE IN THE MAZE
OF THE WOODS YOU FLED TO
YOU BETTER KEEP ON RUNNIN’
THE PACK OF HOUNDS IS ON YOUR HEELS
DEMANDING THE PAY FOR YOUR DEEDS
YOU’RE NOT GUILTY
YOU’RE JUST THE PAWN OF THIS GAME
SACRIFICED TO CLEANSE THE NAMES
OF THE DECEIVERS ON YOU
PROVE THE INNOCENCE THAT YOU AFFIRM
BURN THE VEIL OF THEIR CHEAT
YOU’RE BACK IN THE RIVAL GAME
THEY BETTER WATCH OUT
BE BLOOD SHED CLEANSE YOUR NAME
YOU’RE OUT OF THE DUNGEONS AGAIN
GOT RID OF YOUR PERSUERS
AND NOW YOU ARE BACK FOR REVENGE
THEIR DECLINE’S SLIGHTLY ARRANGED
THEY WILL PAY FOR
THE MISCHIEF THEY’VE CAUSED ONTO YOU
THERE’S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO
TO ESCAPE OF YOUR WRATH
YOU ARE THEIR JUDGE OF CONSCIENCE
YOU LET THEM FALL ONE BY ONE
UNTIL THEIR DAMAGE IS DONE
THEY ARE KNEELING
THEY’RE BEGGING FOR MERCY BUT YOU
HUMILIATE THEM TO
LET THEM TASTE WHAT YOU’VE GONE THROUGH
PROVE THE INNOCENCE THAT YOU AFFIRM
BURN THE VEIL OF THEIR CHEAT
YOU’RE BACK IN THE RIVAL GAME
THEY BETTER WATCH OUT
BE BLOOD SHED CLEANSE YOUR NAME
YOU’RE OUT OF THE DUNGEONS AGAIN
Solo - Letzelter
Solo - Friedt
PROVE THE INNOCENCE THAT YOU AFFIRM
BURN THE VEIL OF THEIR CHEAT
YOU’RE BACK IN THE RIVAL GAME

NIGHT - A UNIVERSE CAPTURED ASLEEP
THE STARS LAPSE LIKE SPARKS OF THE DEEP
VOID - THE SECRET OF INFINITY
THE ANSWER OF ETERNITY
PETTY LIFE, TO BE HELD IN MY HAND
BLOATED OF BOAST, THE SIZE IT PRETENDS TO ME
CLOSE - THUS NARROW’S THE MEASURE OF BRAINS
RESTRICTED PERCEPTIONS IT GAINS
CAN I ASK FOR A SENSE WITHOUT HAVING A DOUBT
AM I COINCIDENCE IN A CASUAL CROWD
ARE THERE TRUTHES UNSEEN, A PERPETUAL BEING
IS THERE ANYTHING LISTENING TO ME
OH, LORD, I’M CALLING FOR YOU
YOU’VE LEFT NO TRACES, NO CLUES
I HAND MY LIFE ONTO YOU
DON’T LET IT END UP IN SOLITUDE
Solo - Letzelter
LOSS - OF INNOCENCE AND PURITY
MEANS LOSING OUR CREDULITY
FAITH - IS HATCHING A VEIL OF DECEIT
OPPONENT OF LUCIDITY
IN A GLASS SAND IS PURLING AWAY
FUGITIVE JUST LIKE THE BREATH WE EXHALE - PASSED AWAY
VOID - THE EAR TO THE QUESTIONS I ASK
THE COMFORT ON WHICH I WILL BRASK
CAN I ASK FOR A SENSE WITHOUT HAVING A DOUBT
AM I COINCIDENCE IN A CASUAL CROWD
ARE THERE TRUTHES UNSEEN, A PERPETUAL BEING
IS THERE ANYTHING LISTENING TO ME
OH, LORD, I’M CALLING FOR YOU
YOU’VE LEFT NO TRACES, NO CLUES
I HAND MY LIFE ONTO YOU
DON’T LET IT END UP IN SOLITUDE

IT’S COMIN’ TO YOU
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
TAKE IT OR THROW IT AWAY
IT’S UP TO YOU
DON’T GET ASTRAY
THE CHANCES YOU DASHED
THEY GOT YOUR LIFE TRASHED
BUT ALL YOU CAN DO IS COMPLAIN
THAT’S NOTHING NEW
JUST A REPLAY
DON’T TELL ME YOUR BAD REPUTATION IS SOWN
DON’T TALK OF THE REPUTIATION AT HOME
YOU’RE AN ADULT, RESPONSIBLE ON YOUR OWN
THE ONE WHO’S GUILTY IS YOU (2X)
SOCIETY - TREATED ME LIKE A LEPER, CAST ME OUT
DON’T YOU BLAME ME - MY SO-CALLED FRIENDS ALWAYS PUSHED ME ALL AROUND
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE - EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME DOWN
Solo - Letzelter
Solo - Friedt
YOUR FAIRYTALE’S TOLD
HELL KNOWS YOU ARE BOLD
YARNING PHANTASMS AGAIN
TWISTING THE TRUTH
TRYING TO MEND
YOUR COMFORTS ARE COLD
YOU CAN’T EVEN HOLD
THE LITTLE YOU KEPT UNTIL NOW
THANKS TO WELFARE
YOU’LL MAKE IT SOMEHOW
USE YOUR BAD CHILDHOOD FOR VENDICATION
DISPARAGE YOUR FRIENDS FOR EXCUSES AGAIN
CAUSING THE ANTIPATHY THAT YOU ALWAYS LAMENT
THE ONE WHO’S GUILTY IS YOU (2X)
SOCIETY - TREATED ME LIKE A LEPER, CAST ME OUT
DON’T YOU BLAME ME - MY SO-CALLED FRIENDS ALWAYS PUSHED ME ALL AROUND
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE - EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME DOWN
Solo - Friedt
DID YOU DREAM WELL?
BUT YOU’RE BACK IN HELL
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO IMPROVE
NOTHING AT ALL
THIS CHANCE IS GOOFED
NOTHING HAS CHANGED
IT’S JUST REARRANGED
NOTHING IS BETTER FOR YOU
THAT’S WHAT IT’S LIKE
WHEN YOU’RE A FOOL
BELIEVE IN THE FACTS THAT YOU SOPHISTICATE
BEG FOR A PITY BUT KNOW IT’S TOO LATE
BID FAREWELL, TAKE LEAVE OF THE TRUST THAT YOU ANNIHILATE
SOCIETY - TREATED ME LIKE A LEPER, CAST ME OUT
DON’T YOU BLAME ME - MY SO-CALLED FRIENDS ALWAYS PUSHED ME ALL AROUND
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE - EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO HOLD ME DOWN

Solo - Friedt
WHILE THE REAR IS SINGING SONGS OF WAR
THE VANGUARD IS DYING BY BROADSWORD AND AXE
ARMOUR IS CLASHING, SCREAMS OF GORE
YOUNG ZEALOTS LOSING THEIR ARMS AND THEIR LEGS
A SCREAM FOR HIS MOTHER BY HIS LAST DYING BREATH
A WHIMPER FOR MERCY IS CHOKED
THE COLDNESS OF STEEL MAKES HIM MEETING HIS DEATH
THE YOUNGBLOOD IS SOAKING HIS CLOAK
PROSPECTS ARE DROWNED IN THEIR BLOOD
ANIMUS THRASHED, THEY ARE LOSING THEIR GUTS
BLIND PEOPLE PERISH THEIR LIVES IN THE SLAUGHTER
DELUDED BY CATCHWORDS SO CLEAR
DIE FOR THE WAGES, THE REAPER HAS BOUGHT YA
AN IMAGE OF TERROR AND FEAR
FACE THE FACE OF WAR
THAT’S WHAT IT’S LIKE, AND WHAT IT WAS BEFORE
FACE THE FACE OF WAR
THIS IS WHAT IT WILL BE FOREVERMORE
Solo - Letzelter
HONOUR AND GLORY FORLORN
ONCE FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM, NOW FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
DRIVEN BY DRUMS AND BY HORNS
MURDER OR DIE, ONLY KILLERS SURVIVE
SOVEREIGNS HAVING A FEAST WHILST THE COMBAT
AWAITING THE END OF THE CLASH
MEASURE SUCCESS BY THE NUMBERS OF WOUNDED
AND BY THE NUMBERS OF DEAD
DEATH TOLL IS COUNTING THE COST
IT’S LIVING OR DEAD, IF YOU’VE WON OR HAVE LOST
BLIND PEOPLE PERISH THEIR LIVES IN THE SLAUGHTER
DELUDED BY CATCHWORDS SO CLEAR
DIE FOR THE WAGES, THE REAPER HAS BOUGHT YA
AN IMAGE OF TERROR AND FEAR
FACE THE FACE OF WAR
THAT’S WHAT IT’S LIKE, AND WHAT IT WAS BEFORE
FACE THE FACE OF WAR
THIS IS WHAT IT WILL BE FOREVERMORE
SOUND THE CHARGE!
(FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!)
FORWARD YOU DOGS, YOU WILL DIE ANYWAY
SPILL THE BLOOD!
FOR THE CAUSE OF THE KING
(FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!)
DIE IN THE NAME OF HIS VICTORY
FOLLOW THE LEADERS TO THE SHAMBLES LIKE SHEEP
FOR WHAT MORE THAN LIVESTOCK ARE YOU?
(FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!)
TO WASTE FOR THE GLORY OF NOBLE MEN
HARRY THE LAND!
PLUNDER THE FIELDS, HARASS THE PEASANTS
FOR WAR MEANETH TERROR, DEATH, HUNGER, AND PLAGUE IN ITS WAKE
(DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!)

ONCE YOU’LL PUSHING UP THE DAISIES
AND YOUR D.O.D. IS INKED
THERE’S NO YES OR NO OR MAYBE
WHEN YOUR PRESENCE IS EXTINCT
NO PEARLY GATES, NO BRIGHT LIGHT EMBRACE YOU
NO NIRVANA, NO REBIRTH
NO HELL NOR HEAVEN, NO JUDGEMENT AWAITS YOU
NOTHING’S WHAT IT’S WORTH
ONCE YOUR FELLOWS WILL FORGET YOU
ONCE THEMSELVES WILL DIE AWAY
EVERYONE GOES OFF, LIKE YOU’LL DO
KNELL IS TOLLING EVERYDAY
ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST
JUST THE REAPER YOU CAN TRUST
ONE CERTAIN THING DRAWS NEAR WITH EVERY BREATH
THAT’S YOUR DEATH
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
A HUMAN LIFESPAN SPELLS ETERNITY TO YOU
‘CAUSE ALL THAT’S BORN CAN’T BE INFINITE
EVEN THE UNIVERSE IS BOUND TO END SOME DAY
AND TIME IN IT’S WAKE
AND NOTHING, NOTHING
NOTHING IS ETERNALLY
Solo - Letzelter
Solo - Letzelter
WHEN OBLIVION’S GOT YOU SWALLOWED
AND NO ONE’S LEFT TO CRY FOR YOU
WHEN YOUR COFFIN WILL BE HOLLOWED
GUESS WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF YOU
NOTHING’S WHAT YOU HAD WHEN YOU CAME ONTO HERE
NOTHING’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU LEAVE
NOTHING IS WHAT STAYS, NOTHING IS WHAT YOU FEAR
NOTHING IS FOR YOU AND ME...

Solo - Friedt, Letzelter, Letzelter, Friedt
HAIL TO DESTRUCTION, ‘CAUSE IT REALLY IS OUR VICE
BOUND TO DESTROY EVERY THING THAT BE
HUMAN CONDUCTION HAS THE REAPER ROLLIN’ DICE
AND SPIN THE WHEEL OF FATALITY
ALL YOU DESPISE, YOU PAY THE PRICE, THERE’S A DEVICE TO SNUFF IT OUT
ALL YOU ADORE, YOU’RE PAYING FOR, WE GET YOU MORE THAN CAST ABOUT
OVERSTATE IS OUR NATURE
WE GOT THE BOMB AND WE GOT THE FISSION, WE HAVE WAYS TO ERASE
WE GOT THE TOOLS AND WE GOT THE VISION, GOT A WHOLE WORLD TO LAY IT TO WASTE
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES, LEAVE IT TO THE RATS
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES FOR THE HARVEST OF THE DEAD
WHO CARES ABOUT THE FATE OF FUTURE GENERATIONS
WHEN WE WILL ALL BE LATE THEY’LL PAY THE WEALTH OF NATIONS NOW
THEY’LL HAVE TO PAY THE BILL SOMEHOW
Solo - Letzelter
ASSIMILATION HAS BECOME OUR WAY OF LIFE
STRAIGHTEN THE RIVERS, LEVEL THE LAND
ADJUST’S DICTATION, WHILE IT’S ADDING TO THE PLIGHT
ACTION, REACTION, WAY TOO INTENSE
IT’S EXPLOITATION, ANNIHILATION, RAPES THE FOUNDATION OF ALL LIFE
DESTROY A SPECIES, BLOW THINGS TO PIECES, POLLUTING PLACES, IT’S A RIFE
THE AGE OF VERMIN AWAITS OUR INHERITANCE
THE TREES ARE CUT AND THE WATERS ARE POISONED, THE OZONE LAYER IS TORN
WHEN INSIGHT OF LOSS IS RAISING OUR VOICES, IT’S REALLY ONLY OURSELVES THAT WE MOURN
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES, LEAVE IT TO THE RATS
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES FOR THE HARVEST OF THE DEAD
WHO CARES ABOUT THE FATE OF FUTURE GENERATIONS
WHEN WE WILL ALL BE LATE THEY’LL PAY THE WEALTH OF NATIONS NOW
THEY’LL HAVE TO PAY THE BILL SOMEHOW
MONEY TALKS AND PEOPLE LISTEN
LIKE A JUNKY TO HIS DRUG
AND IT’S DRIVING US TO PLUNDER OUR PLANET FOR BUCKS
WE’RE ENJOYING OUR LOVE OF LUXURY
TO THE LOSS OF OUR IDENTITIES
SATISFY THE JUGGERNAUT THAT WE MADE A GOD
LOVING OUR GOODS TO THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION
COLLECT, CONSUME, RUIN, WIPE OUT
Solo - Friedt
Solo - Letzelter
Solo - Friedt
BEHOLD THE CREATURES
AS LONG AS THEY CAN TEACH US
THEY SOON MAY LEAVE US
Solo - Letzelter
THE BUGS HAVE DIED, INSECTICIDE, AND NOW WE’RE SICK OF TOXIC WASTE
(Solo - Letzelter)
MAN COMPREHENDS THE CONSEQUENSE OF HIS INTENSIONS AND HIS WAYS
(Solo - Friedt)
A DEAR OLD HABIT IS TO FEAR THE END OF DAYS
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES, LEAVE IT TO THE RATS
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES FOR THE HARVEST OF THE DEAD
LEAVE IT TO THE ROACHES, TO THOSE WHO WILL OUTLAST US
TO THE ROACHES, ‘CAUSE THEY MAY GET THE BEST OF US
