Ave, Lucifer Lux immortalis Non est Dominus vobiscum Benedictus tu in dispersibus Et benedictus occultus ignis in tenebris Sanctificatus Lucifer, adversarius Dei Ora pro nobis derelictis Nunc in hora mortis nostrae Sacrificium vitae Lux tua est omnia Amen

Sigil 04:24
Sleeping in unholy grimoires A sigil is found behind the sight A sign of rebellion and wrath Written with fire and blood on the skin Worship the signet of downfall Inhuman incantations revealing their fate Hateful cries of lament Breaking the seals of warning Every kingdom damned Begotten in a myth Imprisoned horrors beneath the surface Formless abominations now unearthed Now unearthed No longer bound Prophet of annihilation I leave suffering and chaos in my wake In my campaign of retribution Incarnation of malice and hate Awakened from grotesque ages of dreaming Come and see The monument of cruelty and power and Praise the unholy psalms handed down In my word No longer bound Sleeping in unholy grimoires A sigil is found Behind the sight A sign of rebellion and wrath Written with fire and blood on the skin Worship the signet of downfall Inhuman incantations revealing their fate Hateful cries of lament Breaking the seals of warning As I pass through the first gate Distant thunders announce my return Fateful fanfares tear the silence And shake the ground As I pass through the last gate Night falls And darkness reigns supreme Reigns supreme

Evoked by the ceremony In blackness and bestiality From the undercoat Of the forbidden heresy I accept your sacrifice Of fallen heretics in my name Reaching into the beyond Your hands touched forbidden truth You can hear the shackles shatter The opening of a portal I´m your farer on this ride And god a recreant of the first sin Hear hells hounds howl through the night Feasting on the manic martyrs they imbibe Crooked, hot teeth Singing putrid, willing flesh The beginning of my cursed campaign The slaughter of thousands in your tutelage Until the air is ripe with blood And your souls enceinte with discord and despair Bow to me my name is blasphemy Bringer of pestilence The unholy omen I’m the horned herald I’m the Lord of debauchery Broken will and Broken bones Your minds poisoned Your will infected In your eyes The fervour falls Your spirit a black hole in a sea of flesh The time to repent is upon you And with each piece of flesh consumed My hunger increases I’m breaking your will I’m breaking your bones Poisoned Minds Banished for centuries Into places of suffering Defiling the sanctuaties Banished And now bow down before The throne of deception Banished for centuries Into places of suffering Defiling the sanctuaties Evoked by the ceremony In blackness and bestiality From the undercoat Of the forbidden heresy I accept your sacrifice Of fallen heretics in my name Bow to me my name is blasphemy Bringer of pestilence The unholy omen I’m your horned herald I’m the Lord of debauchery Broken will and Broken bones Your minds poisoned Your will infected In your eyes The fervour falls Your spirit a black hole in a sea of flesh An occult sigil brand marked in a pact of blood Succubic temptations luring, given in Nine of swords ruled the world still clay and mud For me you burned in the light of the brightest star So I came from the realms below to Break mortality with obsidian bones Horned Herald Lord of Debauchery Leader of Despair Make way for my eternal reign The intense immersion into infernal conquest

Key of Bones 03:58
A key of bones Unlocks the gate to Decaying halls Long lost in time Deep from the crypts unearthed Nine once kings stood strong Their Lordship incontestable With every bondman buried deep Into the annals of history Weathered runes seal the arsenal A distant call The songs of old days echo again Through these eternal graves Banished and locked but a A key of bones Unlocks the gate to Decaying halls Long lost in time Spectres Bearing the burden With half blind eyes wandering On paths of forlorn lands With hearts Centuries between the beats Nine swords shatter the night Hunting me down They won't let me go While cutting into my flesh The wounds of a martyr bleeding A holy chalice filled with unholy wine And I won't die side by side with my own comrades (Side by side with my own) I swallow the blades one by one One by one So a key of bones Unlocks the gate to Decaying halls Long lost in time And I die alone And I die alone Waste no thought on salvation There was no life after death And I collapse, torn apart inside And I die alone So I wander In the light of the undying flame Godless In the light of the undying flame Restless through the night In the light of the undying flame

Lamia 04:33
Trapped in your Iris’ Deep Nature-Forced Devotion Of fleshly driven disciples We surrender mind, body and bone Spellbound by your gaze So damned and abandoned Darkest secrets lurking under your skin Unbreakable temptation Immortal hunger on your lips Undeniable desire Fallacious promises in your voice Paralyzed by eyes like rubies Staring at me from the shadows You You are silence You are a heart stop beating A final kiss In a dance of life and death I am drowning In an ocean of red And as I drown Crooked teeth throw A smile to my Vanishing visage Mistress of the night I surrender in body and soul The cloak of vital liquids Kissing every inch of my puny existence And she calls “Follow me downwards, O my disciple brave and true I promise salvation and splendor Down in the Deep” A cold and deadly embrace The sirens’ call Drags me down, To set me free From life's cruel fate I am drowning In an ocean of red I am drowning Drag me down Beautiful and horrifying Like the end of the world Huntress in the midnight moon Prey in your hands Huntress in the midnight moon No hopes within Spellbound by your gaze So damned and abandoned Darkest secrets lurking under your skin Unbreakable temptation Immortal hunger on your lips Undeniable desire Fallacious promises in your voice Paralyzed by eyes like rubies Staring at me from the shadows I am drowning In an ocean of red I am drowning Drag me down

A star once fallen but First to rise during the dawn Reveal the message Of seven thunders. Secrets shall now known And come to light The blind shall see A rebel flame Defiant, burning since the first day All lies shall be punished And we will not fear Wage war The day of wrath has come Fire has come over the fields All nations bear your mark To celebrate your return And now Rise before the sun Your throne the horizon Your robe is pure black And your crown the brightest shine Your scepter speaks justice Your sword speaks revenge All hail to the bringer of light A star once fallen but First to rise during the dawn Reveal the message Of seven thunders. Secrets shall now known And come to light The blind shall see A rebel flame Defiant, burning since the first day All lies shall be punished And we will not fear Wage war The day of wrath has come Fire unfolds over the fields All nations bear your mark to celebrate your return And now Rise before the sun Your throne the horizon Your robe is pure black And your crown the brightest shine Your scepter speaks justice Your sword speaks revenge All hail to the bringer of light So you return And in majesty and flame You stand at the firmament Earth and sky torn in two And in your wake a new age begins An age of enlightenment Here I lie at your feet And as your servant I tremble in fear and awe I pray and ask Oh bringer of light Oh rebel flame Oh Lucifer Show me grace and free me At last

The bell has rung Hold mass Preach the message of the flames Celebrate a fest of unbelief Read from the books Spread the word Ancient spells born from desire Cast with voices shaking from ecstasy Bound by the markings of A revelling eternal With each verse sinking deeper Trapped in this collapsing realm The gateways convoluting Entranced by self-destruction A hunger that never sleeps, A hunger never dead Tear their flesh And bring here all the pagan gods Feast and praise And praise Await Chaos Devour the headless lamb And worship the golden calf Worship on the blackest altar And become one with the flame Drink from the chalice of the virgin Ebony torches in both her hands Spill the wine and betray eden The bell has rung Hold mass Preach the message of the flames Celebrate a fest of unbelief Read from the books Spread the word Ancient spells born from desire Cast with voices shaking from ecstacy Bound by the markings of A revelling eternal With each verse sinking deeper Trapped in this collapsing realm The gateways convoluting Entranced by self-destruction A hunger that never sleeps, A hunger, never dead Tear their flesh And bring here all the pagan gods Tear and praise And praise Await Chaos Devour the headless lamb And worship the golden calf Worship on the blackest altar And become one with the flame Drink from the chalice of the virgin Ebony torches in both her hands Spill the wine and betray eden The shadows deepen A venom that never fades Dispoil the ink in the books All the satyrs, all the nymphs Assembled for you A sacrifice in your name With the obsidian dagger All the satyrs, all the nymphs Assembled for you A sacrifice in your name With the obsidian dagger

From the Realms below A war so old in hatred deep Wings of flames and darkness spread wide The stars align Proclaim the words Break all seals and open the scroll anew Come and hear Evocate and gather the legions Let the gods of my ancestors return To disrupt the sacrament Conquer Hear the command Conquer March with malice true One last oath We'll be the flames that you can't extinguish We'll be the darkness that you can't escape We’ll be the wolves that rush the shepherd We’ll be the plagues that come over holy ground Let the heavens weep Let the power unfold Summoned from beyond Crush the sanctum And burn the sacred shrines All that's holy shall fall before the beast A war so old in hatred deep Wings of flames and darkness spread wide The stars align Proclaim the words Break all seals and open the scroll anew Come and hear Evocate and gather the legions Now everything ends, with a pact of flame, Amidst the stench of brimstone and rot, Dark designs never to be forgotten With symbols cursed and sigils writ, The ancient, the eldritch Tongue Ancient Tongue One last oath We'll be the flames that you can't extinguish We'll be the darkness that you can't escape We’ll be the wolves that rush the shepherd We’ll be the plagues that come over holy ground Let the heavens weep Let the power unfold Summoned from beyond Crush the sanctum And burn the sacred shrines All that's holy shall fall before the beast

The Pact 05:49
An offering In a circle of flames Tongues whispering Immortal words of forgotten realms Their chants are howling through the night Calling you forth to abide Tales of loss and betrayal, Of temptation and wrath They’re echoing through the crucks And whispered by the roots below Invisible hands pull you down They take you away With bloodshot eyes They endure the unbearable spells Devoted to a master shapeless, Centuries old The Sacrfice lies bare Innocence blackened in a ritual Of unspeakable Despair An offering In a circle of flames Tongues whispering Immortal words of forgotten realms A pulse spiraling through the vessels Taking control Consuming souls by the infernal command Shivers of fear Reality dissolves And the air is filled with their screams In total ecstasy Eyes glazed from horror And the air is filled with their screams In total ecstasy Through the fucking flesh Crawling onward Unstoppable force, unholy descent Unrestrained allegiance A Cacophony in unending, ceaseless blight Through aeons crawling by In endless pain forever In endless pain Forever to remain Their chants are howling through the night Calling you forth to abide Tales of loss and betrayal Of temptation and wrath They're echoing through the Crucks and whispered by the roots below Invisible hands pull you down They take you away With bloodshot eyes They endure the unbearable spells Devoted to a master shapeless, Centuries old The Sacrfice lies bare Innocence blackened in a ritual Of unspeakable Despair An offering In a circle of flames Tongues whispering Immortal words of forgotten realms From the earth and the wind We dissolve and disintegrate Disintegrate Dissolve and disintegrate Dissolve and disintegrate

The sky ablaze To be consumed by fire A burning tide I am breaking your covenant Once and for all All nations shall follow me and forsake you And carry out the orders of the dragon And take revenge Once and for all And I won’t obey On the fields of Harmagedon The song of songs shall be sung by all men Blow the trumpets again And carry out the mark I will make your sky and heaven a nightmare of flames In the name of Babylon, Sodom and Gomorrha I'll erase your doctrine Once and for all Your earth a promised wasteland of ashes I tear off your mask and burn your face out of history And all the pages will be blank And I will make the past and the future fucking cleansed with fire And the memory of you will be cold black dust Hell awaits as an anthem, the song of all songs That shall be sung by all men I am breaking your covenant Once and for all All nations shall follow me and forsake you And carry out the orders of the dragon And take revenge Once and for all And I won’t obey On the fields of Harmagedon The song of songs shall be sung by all men Blow the trumpets again And carry out I will make your sky and heaven a nightmare of flames Sodom and Gomorrha I'll erase your doctrine Once and for all A burning tide We bring the end to your reign, We bring the end to your reign All hopes forever lost in flames No more life, no more breath Only fire, ashes and death
