1. New Machines
Standing on the brink of revolution
The masses wait with baited breath
A promise to rise and destroy this night
They'll fight until there's nothing left
The masters in their towers
Question their own powers
Now the gates of truth have been revealed
Nothing safe under the sun
There's no where to run
The tide has turned
Their fates are sealed
Under the sign
Of another martyr born to die
Under the sound
Of another futile battle cry
Coursing the field (sand)
With another river made of blood
Grinding the call
Of the new machines of tyranny!
The Barbarians approach!
2. Infinite Sadism
She cuts the palm of her hand
And draws a line in the sand
To the point red reason
Is resting on her wings
She hold the candle alight
To set sensation to rights
And break my will with the sad songs she sings
Can't fight all the heartache
No penance or pain
Will leave me again
Under torrents of shame
Pull the message apart
Life is pain, Death is art
The illusion of choice
Is my blight, is your blame
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you still feel the same?
Trust me just for a moment...
Take your tantrum to town
Try to tie Tantalus down
If you think that you've got it
Then just try to take it
You'll swallow my guilt
And lament what I've spilt
I assure actuality
So don't try to fake it
Dark forces about
Out of sight, underground
The hurt that is holy
Humanity whole
Your will is made strong
But your motives are wrong
Still I count on the seconds
Still slipping along
Do you hear my heart beating?
Out of step, sub-sublime
I don't mind the thought fleeting
You do yours and I'll do mine
She draws a line in my hand
And draws on all that she can
To the point now of a clairvoyant clarion call
Hold the candle to light
And all my senses alright
And break your will with the mad songs appalled
"..The seduction is beauty
Justification is honesty
And the aim is ecstasy
And the fantasy is death!"
Susan Sontag, "Under The Sign Of Saturn", 1974
Do you hear my heart beating?
Out of step, out of time
I don't mind the thought fleeting
You'll get yours all in due time
Do you see my eyes bleeding?
Out of sight, out of my mind
I don't mind the life fleeting
You'll get yours and you know I'll get mine
3. Death Defiance
My life is my own
The fruit of the earth is mine for the taking
My life alone
Is living now, from the dead I am waking
Reap the seeds I've sewn
My laws are mine
No book will bind me
Shake the wings I've grown
I'm flying now
And nothing will stop me!
The nothingness of the night
Sets me free!
Liberated by omni-futility
The countless stars
Light my chaotic way
A super-nova sun will brighten the day
Our lives are our own
The fruit of the earth is ours for the taking
Our lives disowned
Are living now
From the dead we are waking
Reap the seeds we've sewn
The water is wine
Madness in making
Burn on wings you've flown
For death is sure
And happiness fleeting!
The nothingness of the night sets us free!
Invigorated by omni-insanity
The boundless stars light
My labyrinth way
A meteoric music will brighten the day
By my right, by my birth
The strong shall inherit the earth
By my brothers, my blood
Destined to die
Where we stood
4. Malign Urth
She delves in most exquisite evil
Yet death-like love radiates
Worldly eyes deep of hue puncture still
Further into a young heart she hates
The path that she treads
Yet to be matched
Her presence may crush a lesser’s pride
Propagation of perpetual humiliation inside
Blood red lips, cold and bare
Touch them not
Unspeakable breaths pass there
Follow into fathomless oblivion
Her glorious forsaken salvation
Love to strike down beggar and king
In wretched revelry dance and sing
Words that were meant to forever remain unheard
Echo throughout the realms of Malign Urth
5. Crossing
Upon the wings of chaos fly
The dismal dreams of a soul born to die
An unending quest for all that is true
They pyres have grown within his mind
For paper gods he must leave behind
No theory shall hinder, his services through
He flies on alone
Through the red storming fury
With all ties to earth burned away
All preordained journeys end this day
Now the annals are burning
With memories of their travesties
All that’s left are the fruits of a will
Now free
No almighty needs glory from thee
Every man was born
To steer his ship through the storm
And the seas of adversity all alone
All choices are his
To take or to give
He must learn that there is no God’s grace
Only his own!
He’s lived his life chained to the edge
Alsirat now receives his pledge
Maledictions fly
From the pit of his heart
Songs of the storm unleash their fury
His sword strikes true in apostasy
Walls of unquestioned tradition
Fly apart
6. Call the Winter
The Old One doesn't know
Where the old ways will have to go
As an empire waits on the edge
Of our last sacred grove.
The horns of the valorous
Are desperately calling us
To defend the pride of the wood
To protect what is ours
Our armies are diaphanous
Schooled not in the perilous
May my brothers of the fray lead the way
Through this bitter end!
There is something calling me
To defy this destiny
As a shaman of the night
I sing to call the winter
The proud and the sorrowful
Are the last of the dutiful
May the ices of Hel move and appear
To protect us from Rome!
There are voices begging me
Elementals wanting free
So as a shaman of the night
I sing to call the winter
May the sleet and snow
Drawn down from the north
Come to strike down the legions
Now storming forth
May the thunder and wind
Soon heed my cry
May the black clouds
Cover the sky
Forward move the beasts of bronze
No match for the lions are the swans
Our sacred temples, old as time
Are plundered in a Caesar's prime
7. Legends at Hand
I'm not alive
Solely to please the wings on her wind
But she told a lie
Only to show that I have sinned
I told her that I
Was never frightened of shadows
But she told me that I
Might listen to what follows
A story of the dark
An account of what the beast has marked
A tale of lust for result
A tale to inspire and insult
If the battle isn't over
Then the war is to begin
If the shadow isn't colder
Then the odds are it will win
If the balance didn't tell you
Of the consequence of inaction
Then the only course of escape
Is to assimilate factions
Live and be alive
Nothing is left of the land of your birth
Fight to unearth
All the dreams and sorrow
Can I wait on hate for a while...
8. Chemical Fright
You've got to
Feel the tide ebbing on the edge of the real
To imbibe the stars you steal
Feel the sky rolling as you wade in with zeal
And earn the right to kneel
Fire is flowing
And the shadows all-knowing
Beckon louder ever
For me closer to be
Nearer to danger
For no deed has been stranger
Than this aging story
For which I'm born to bleed
Feeling the falling
Now the spirit is all
Bringing all your lies to life
Death one appalling guise of Chemical
Fire is flowing...
You've got to
Bleed for your songs in the sight of the dawn
To bring all your dreams to life
Race with your blood
Exalt the Chemical
The wall is ever clearer
The door is ever nearer
The power hits and it is pushing me down
She tries to comfort me still
The pleasure against my will
Gratification quickly breaking me down
You've got to
Bleed for you songs in the sight of the dawn
To bring all your dreams
Race with your blood
Exalt the Chemical
Divested torn and deprived
Alone and barely alive
The bindings over me are too strong to rive
If I could only whisper
If I could only touch her
The water drowning me would bring me to life
Feeling the falling
Now that god is enthralled
Bringing all your lies to life
Death one appalling guise of Chemical
You've got to
Feel the tide ebbing on the edge of the real
To imbibe the stars you steal
Feel tide ebbing as you wade in with zeal
Fire is flowing...
The touches of her healing tonight, so bright
Are hindering no losses of sight in the flight
I hold her close, imprison the love too tight
The meanings of her dreaming tonight so bright
Are holding me from flying impossibly high
I hold her close, I'm bracing for
Chemical Fright
If I could only whisper
If I could only touch her
The water drowning me would bring me to life
9. Slave Raid
A ship on the solar tide ride
On dimensional wave bide
The power of lust and greed
Drives a crew into evil deed
Appearing in the atmosphere
Yet no mortal may see or hear
No woman safe in her bed
No virgin pure in her head
No human female is safe
From the harvester of slaves
Bow to me now
You're a slave, not a lover
Please me enough
You'll earn the chains in my bed
Every cell every nerve
Knows you were born to serve
Don't fight the thrall you feel
The pleasure when you kneel
Traveling now to your realm of rebirth
Other side of the sun
Life of collar begun
My Kajira of Counter-Earth!
No woman is free
No woman is saved
Who has not known the leash
Who has not been enslaved
10. Hammerfist
The clarity of insight
Holds the key to this plight
The lust for violence hides
Under nothing tonight
The circle of recompense is
Stimulating vice
Its easy to be free
If you kill your enemies
Instead of chasing reasons
To hold yourself to law
True pleasure lies in knowing
Your throat is in my jaws
I’m a Hammerfist
I’m a man who pits
Human nature against the civilized
I’m a Hammerfist
Born a nihilist
Good and evil the same
As seen from my eyes
The promises of futures
And falsities of fratricide
Are taking me to transcend
The deicide I’ve tried
I’ll undertake a venture
To bury you in sound
And resurrect an ideal
To beat you to the ground
Never step inside of
The lower planes in question
And never cross my path again
In this life or the next
Take in on yourself to
Learn the line I tread
Sooner done, seldom said
Drive it into the sublime
Lay the line in time
Hide my mind, kill your kind
11. No Equal
What is the thought of reason?
The bleeding heart pleading
Need to know the show
What your eyes ain’t believing
Keep it up, in strut
Too deep for you to cut
You run away, in sway
No sanity may stay
I’ll take you heart to start
To put your world apart
I’ll eat your mind behind
The visage of the kind
I’ll hold your soul in fold
Encase you under cold
I’ll live your life
No pain or strife will equal what I might!
12. The Strange High House in the Mist
13. Wake of the White Devil
(intro / verse riff)
"Oh, ...lord, methodically!
As in this world there are degrees of evils,
So in this world there are degrees of devils!”
John Webster, "White Devil", c. 1609-1612
(lower verse 1)
You can call me evil
You can call me a liar
But the power I hold
Will set the world on fire!
I spread over your life
Like a beautiful cancer
Entertain the mob
Like a dervish dancer
I’m a soldier of sin
I’m a loser to win!
Holistic Hammerfist
Genocidal Gymnosophist
I make the mold
Hop my machine to Meggido!
And ride the white-wild rail!!
(higher verse 1) high
Wat is history to me?
When I erase and replace!
What is culture to me?
If I hate every race?
What is position to me?
If I don’t know my place?
What would murder mean,
If I don’t leave a trace!
Infection! Defection!
Invasion! Persuasion!
Unity! Impunity!
Injection! Inflection!
Identify! Revitalize!
Addiction Affliction!
The motherfuckin’ West is the Best!
(lesser chorus 1)
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
(greater chorus 1)
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
(lower verse 2)
No vaccine ‘gainst my
Sickening joy
No education ‘gainst my
Cult Culture Ploy
What the people will want
The fucking people will get
And people should know when they’re conquered
(higher verse 2)
If I told you the truth,
You would follow the same
If I taught you to lie
You would still play my game
Put precepts aside
By my METHod abide
And breathe in my fearsome fame!
I can set you up
To control your own fate
Then pull the ground from beneath you
When need becomes great
Turning kings to paupers
Giving peasants wings
Give children guns to kill them all!!!
If the powers really knew
Where the power resides
By the Last Laws Bide:
Live fast, love hard, die high!
(lesser chorus 2)
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
(greater chorus 2)
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
Wake of the White Devil!
