"Scarred"

"Scarred"


Darkness calls down to me
Sweat pours from my body like rain
Growing wiser with each touch
A pawn in lucifers game, am I?

It attacks me in the black abyss
The entity formless yet full of rage
The mark of the beast my body
Scarring me for eternal life

[Chorus]
I brought this all upon myself
Sold my soul to change my life
It's up to me and no one else
The beast in me can't control my life

I brought this all upon myself
Sold my soul to change my life
It's up to me and no one else
The beast in me can't control me

[Bridge]
And so it's begun, this is the end of me
The seed was sewn now it's growing inside
My fate in control, not mine
He lied

[Chorus]
I brought this all upon myself
Sold my soul to change my life
It's up to me and no one else
The beast in me can't control my life

I brought this all upon myself
Sold my soul to change my life
It's up to me and no one else
The beast in me won't control me

"Setian Massacre"

"Setian Massacre"


Screaming in agony
Cries fill the air
Eyes once full of hope
Shedding tears of despair
All that they've ever known is dead

Fire reigns from above
Iron birds of dread
All that they ever loved is dead
All that they ever dreamt is dead

Yet there's a glint of hope
If the chosen can survive
In secret the ten thousand hide
East in the mountains
The chosen bide their time
The Clouding, our strike on mankind

Temples are burning
Streets soaked with blood
Heed the prophecy
Destiny is done
All that they ever loved is dead
All that they ever dreamt is dead

Yet there's a glint of hope
If the chosen can survive
In secret the ten thousand hide
East in the mountains
The chosen bide their time
The Clouding, our strike on mankind

"Seven Headed Whore"

"Seven Headed Whore"


Lord of flies, lord of death, lord of hate
Deceive the masses in the dark, seal their fate
Divide and conquer keep the wicked in control
Hellfire on earth feeds its stated goals

Fallen angels, ancient demons

Seven heads, seven kings, ten horns
Ride the dragon heed the seven headed whore
As the peasants feast on drunken fornication
They feed their children to the beast abomination

Fallen angels, ancient demons

Anointed by the crown
The vile heads of state
Form the evil kingdom
Seven headed whore

Anointed by the crown
The vile heads of state
Form the evil kingdom
Seven headed whore

False gods seed division and deceit
Sovereign city holds the secrets that we seek
Lift the veil as the battle rages on
Kingdoms fall with the whore of Babylon

Fallen angels, ancient demons

Anointed by the crown
The vile heads of state
Form the evil kingdom
Seven headed whore

Anointed by the crown
The vile heads of state
Form the evil kingdom
Seven headed whore

"Slave To The Dark"

"Slave To The Dark"


A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds
One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true
The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze
But am I really in control or am I just a slave

I called upon this god to deliver unto me
To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees
He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies
Ask and I received damnation was the price

I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine prints
Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent
Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave
Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away

[Chorus]
All at once it's clear to me
Damnation and destiny
A slave to darkness shall I be
Damnation and destiny

And so I must repent or will I be destroyed
Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie
And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul
Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son

[Repeat Chorus]

"Something Wicked (Part 3)"

"Something Wicked (Part 3)"


I walk the earth
The wicked one
Baptized in fire
Vindication's only son
Through folds of space and time
I've sown my evil seeds
Till mankind is erased
My last prolific deed
He walks the earth
The wicked one
"I walk the earth"
Injecting our will
Till man's time is done
"Your time is done"
The Watchers Eye
Has sealed your fate
"I've sealed your fate"
Upon your deaths
The Elder wait
"I am the one"
I am your Antichrist
Destroyer of mankind
Forged in sacred flames
My power is divine
I am your coming curse
Hellfire in my eyes
For your crimes on my kind
The human race will die
He walks the earth
The wicked one
"I walk the earth"
Injecting our will
Till man's time is done
"Your time is done"
The Watchers Eye
Has sealed your fate
"I've sealed your fate"
Upon your deaths
The Elder wait
"I am the one"
I'm the one born of flames
Your hatred has brought me to this place
This is a dying world
I'll bring it new life in form of your dread
In the sixth hour
On the sixth day
Of the sixth month
I was born into this world
Now that the wheel's in motion
Unstoppable force, undaunted by your pleas
There's no sympathy in this soul
Just hatred within me

"Something Wicked Part 1"

"Something Wicked Part 1"


I can see clearly now
A painful vision indeed
An attempt at genocide, 12 000 years of pain
The human thirst for dominance
Leads them to Setian ground
The gravest of all threats now exists
All galaxies could suffer
Imagine the consequence if Man does succeed
The universe and all that lives will suffer evermore
Like a virus Man will spread
Through the time continuum
It's a power they can't comprehend
A power we must secure

So heed my word
A prophecy that's bleak and haunting
Acceptance not fear
Will pave the wave for life returning
The Elder foreseen
In Sacred Flames our world is burning
Yet more things are clear
By grand design, punishment unfolding

Faith in the prophecy
We'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something Wicked feeds, thy will be done

Ten thousand souls
One for every year of framing
One of thirteen The High Priest and
the twelve that council
Charged with our tome
Retribution for our loved ones suffering
In secret they'll meet
A global network that endures for centuries

Faith in the prophecy
We'll take this tragedy, unite as one
Fate, show man no sympathy
Something Wicked feeds, thy will be done

"Soylent Green"

"Soylent Green"


The earth has suffered over population
All our rations have been dominated
We look to them for answers to our hunger
Food made from you and I
Increasing their supply

The land is stripped and so barren
Our people must take a stand
Luxuries passed are now savored
We can't even live off the land

Corruption eating us alive
Our guts are filled with their lies

Humans controlled and in turmoil
Defy and you're taken away
The secret is kept from the people
Their lives are left to decay

In line, denied, they've had enough
No food, no work, they must rise up

Their greed has left us all for dead
We are so unaware
They encourage suicide
The truth we must unveil

One man will come to expose them
He'll be a thorn in their side
Danger around every corner
The order must defied

Descend upon their wicked rule
People need to know they're fooled

Nourishment made in a compound
Sustenance from you and I
Taken and processed tgo feed them
Death will increase their supply

Swallow their lies you satisfy
Accept your fate before you die

Their greed has left us all for dead
We are so unaware
They encourage suicide
The truth we must unveil

We need to stop them some way, somehow
The truth was hidden
From the people until know
Your final moments are so serene
It's humans that they're eating,
It's Soylent Green

"Spirit Of The Times"
(originally by Sons Of Liberty)



And as I sit and ponder
Regrets I have no longer
But the questions still remain
A world filled with injustice
Division, pain and violence
Will we ever find our way?
I look deep in their eyes
The fear I see makes me cry
It’s the truth we must embrace
You may take me
But you’ll never break my will
My soul is not for sale
I fear nothing
And justice will prevail
My soul is not for sale
This is my commitment
And darkness, I’ll resist it
And if danger comes my way?
Well, I’ll stand firm in knowing
The truth just keeps on growing
We’re getting stronger everyday
If they take my fleshly body
Then I truly am free
My spirit will remain
You may take me
But you’ll never break my will
My soul is not for sale
I fear nothing
And justice will prevail
My soul is not for sale

"Stand Alone"

"Stand Alone"


Listen not to ones who preach
Those who feel you're a freak
Everything about you is wrong
You must be sick, you don't belong
Father said, worry not what they say
Use your mind, your own free will
In a time when everyone follows
Ignorance can kill
They only say what they want you to hear
Half-truths have been twisted to conceal your fate
In a world of spoon-fed emotion
Intelligence can save
Stand alone
Hear what I say
Stand alone
You will seize the day
Son, say what you mean, don't be afraid
Tell them how you feel, hear what I say
Be true to yourself and true to your own
Your spirit will crush the hearts of stone
Stand alone
Hear what I say
Stand alone
It's a leap of faith

"Stormrider"

"Stormrider"


As I travel through the astral plains
I see the break ahead
As though the sky has burst in flames
Before the storm I dread
Lightning breaks across the sky
Blackish blue at night
Riders ride on dismal clouds
I scream at heavens light

Storming demons travel through the night
The time is almost here
I lay in a jacket of steel
My scream no one hears

I can feel the storm approaching
The pain is its' reality
The death I breathe is in the air
I feel no more, no longer care

The trumpets sound as I break free
This vision I see just can't be me
What is this that I have done
Why am I the chosen one

Fight on, grab on
Stormrider
Stormrider

Now the rider rides through the night
The time is almost here
As I lay wrapped in steel
My scream no one hears

Help me, through this hell inside
My life's my own, it's my pride
Carry on my solid dream
Save me from this horrid scream

Fight on, grab on
Stormrider
Stormrider
