"Behold The Wicked Child"

"Behold The Wicked Child"


Rise up with fervid zeal
Salvation's at hand
Forged in flames as stars collide
Recite the sacred rites
Evoke the astral beast
Black magic, astrology
In sacred flames it congregates
The ancient rage and priest
Fusing the fetus and beast
The Setian redeemer
Man's blood must infect
The weapon, the grand architect
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of the celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he
Disciples and minions
Spread the word, born is he
Thrust hell upon humanity
Baptize the wicked child
The math upon his crown
On this date we consecrate
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of the celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he
Behold the wicked, the child is born
Coalesced of the celestial beast
Divine equation, the prophecy
Rejoice in the birth, born is he
Embrace the power of this sixth hour
On the sixth day of the sixth month
Behold the child, our path to light
We'll guide him with our undying love

"Birth Of The Wicked"

"Birth Of The Wicked"


Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground
For centuries we've questioned them of His birth
But in this hour, on this day, The Elder knew
Years of madness must now subdue
Order must be enforced to hide the truth
Cause on this day, in this hour it's coming true
Child of the wicked and ancient man
Baptized in black magic, their master plan
Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command
Conceived of the beast and stars above
We'll shape and guide him with undyng love
Born of the watch, through sands of time, by their command
So, behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end
It's up to us now to seal his fate
Marked with the proper math the child's none to late
Blessed by the Beast, our Chosen One was born this day
He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race
Manipulate history, time and space
The Elder, Men of the Watch, professed this day
Child of the wicked and ancient man
Baptized in black magic, their master plan
Born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command
Conceived of the Beast and in stars above
We'll shape and guide him with undying love
Born of the Watch, through sands of time, by their command
So, behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end
Behold the birth, the wicked child
Born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

"Black Flag"

"Black Flag"


A storm is raging on the open sea
We are the outcasts
No friends of sophistry
Betrayed
Banishment
Embracing chaos, the only creed
Scourge of nations
The empires enemies
Betrayed
Banishment

With the stroke of a pen
A treaty is signed
Now deemed as outlaws
Once employed by the crown
With letters of marque
Giving us sanctioned plunder
No longer the fools
Or pawns in their game
Of economic warfare
Do they really believe
They control us?
Our greatest strength is independence

We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades

You will fire the guns
Upon my command
Unleash full broadside
Destroying the mast
The rigging, the sails
The shrapnel devastating
Boarding the sloop
Flintlock in hand, one shot
Grenades are flying
Running them through
With my cutlass
The blood and the steel
The slashing and screaming

We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades

Stories foretold
Of silver and gold
And the empires greed
Well god damn the queen
We'll string up the kings
We're rogues of the seas
The freest of men
Fly no colors at all
And our creed is our own
We spit on our hands
Hoist the black flag
And begin to slit throats

We live out our last days
With barrels of rum, black powder
And the clash of the blades

Stories foretold
Of silver and gold
And the empires greed
Well god damn the queen
We'll string up the kings
We're rogues of the seas
The freest of men
Fly no colors at all
And our creed is our own
We spit on our hands
Hoist the black flag
And begin to slit throats

"Blessed Are You"

"Blessed Are You"


Pure ambition burns in me
It's a beast, never to be tamed
And the only peace I can find
Is when I'm here with you
You are the ones that keep me high
You are the ones for which I'll die
Forever we will be
Standing tall, side by side
We're the children of the night
Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
So this song is for all of you
By my side, through and through
We'll roam that world true and free
Feeding you the inner beast
You are the ones that keep me high
You are the ones for which I'll die
Forever we will be
Standing tall, side by side
We're children of the night
Blessed are you
Blessed am I
Children of the night
The storm we ride
Side by side
You keep me high
For you I'll die
Through the storm we ride

"Boiling Point"

"Boiling Point"


I sit alone and watch hypocrisy
I will fight
My frustration ever building
Tensions rise
The air runs thick with hostility
My thought are boiling and I'm full rage

[Chorus]
I'm at the end
Patience run thin
I think I'll lose my mind
Taking no more
Your death I swore
They will not break my will

I'll make this your darkest hour
Hate will rise
My force will devastate your power
Hear them cry
I vowed to cure my aggravation
Your demise
I'm coming forth to bring a world of pain

[Chorus]
I'm at the end
Patience run thin
I think I'll lose my mind
Taking no more
Your death I swore
They will not break my will

Satisfied eradication
Deed is done
Your spirit's dead and finally mine
Now you're gone
My sanity a fixed condition
Not your pawn
Vindication written in your blood

[Chorus]
I'm at the end
Patience run thin
I think I'll lose my mind
Taking no more
Your death I swore
They will not break my will

Boiling Point
Boiling Point
Boiling Point

"Brainwashed"

"Brainwashed"


And so we begin with another sun
The earth's enslaved with hypocrites
They lay their heads to rest at night
Say a little prayer and all is right

Christ it's nothing personal
You've got to see
They twist and turn your words
For their own needs
They're brainwashed puppets
The almighty crutch
Cowards of reality
And their dying love

Living life in total lies
Judging others
Believe that I say or burn in hell
Bow down your head
You won't feel so bad
Do as I say or burn in hell

Close your eyes, look deep inside
Master of the ignorant
Master of the lies
Judgment day is close at hand
Generate that blasphemy
Master of the damned

Lies

Now behind your reflection
Lies the one who knows the truth
Your conscience will condemn you
On judgment day you'll lose

It seems very odd to me
How you sin and feel so free
And all you have to do is say
Forgive me... I believe

Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes
Lies, foolish lies
Behind your brainwashed eyes

Judge me not my shallow friend
Lest ye be judged yourself
You abuse the words you preach
You mold them for yourself
Brainwashed hypocrisy
Justifies the life you lead
Forgive me father I have sinned
Lay my head to rest again

Living life in total lies
Judging others
Believe what I say or burn in hell
Trust in me, say yes I believe
Do it now or burn in hell

"Brothers"

"Brothers"


In a thousand lifetimes
We have sailed the seven seas
Climbed the highest mountains
We have crossed the desert plains
Fought and died in many battles
It feels like an endless war
Warring sprits take their toll
Finding strength with kindred souls

I will help carry your pain
For me I know you'll do the same
Especially through the hardest times
I'm always standing by your side
Whether lawless and enraged
Born in chaos for the stage
We are meant to live this life
Getting strong with every fight

Brothers standing side by side
Our bond will never falter
Brothers ready for the fight
Forged with strength and honor
Brothers standing side by side
We'll set the world on fire
Brothers ready for the fight
Take our sprits higher

The ties that bind us will not break
Many others will forsake
Attempt to conquer and divide
All have failed, some have tried
Moving forward we will triumph
And our trust will never crumble
Every challenge we will face
Our bond is stronger everyday

Brothers standing side by side
Our bond will never falter
Brothers ready for the fight
Forged with strength and honor
Brothers standing side by side
We'll set the world on fire
Brothers ready for the fight
Take our sprits higher

Brothers standing side by side
Our bond will never falter
Brothers ready for the fight
Forged with strength and honor
Brothers standing side by side
We'll set the world on fire
Brothers ready for the fight
Take our sprits higher

"Burning Oasis"

"Burning Oasis"


Raging fire surrounds me
The embers seems to glow
Woman, man & serpent
Temptation fills her soul
Initiate the beginning
Of the end of paradise
Feel the flames engulf us
And breath a final sigh
Take the fruit
Let wisdom fill your soul
See the things I see
Know the things I know
The jungle is burning
With ambition so strong
To unleash my retribution
To heed the final call
I shall be wise
Burning Eden
Burning Eden
Burning Eden
Burning Eden
There's no way out now
No turning back
To gain infernal wisdom
No turning back
Priests of the fire release thee
For thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all
Priests of the fire release thee
For thine inbred vengeance
The burning oasis has beckoned us all

"Burning Times"

"Burning Times"


Yesterday is gone forever
No turning back the clock
In the end, all is sinful
No need to bear the pain
The end, is coming soon
You can't hold out forever
Repent your sins to me
Before you pass this world
In this time I am law
I know you've been betrayed
From man's word, I'm given life
Through loss, I only gain
For you, I feel no sympathy
No sorrow, no remorse
Confess your sins to me
They'll be taken by force
It doesn't matter what you've done
In my words you are a sinner
For every word you say to me
In every way, you are a sinner
Question me not
I am the one that binds this world
You follow without sight
I grow stronger every day
Take the souls I have damned
Burn them in my name
These are the burning times
The years of pain

"Burnt Offerings"

"Burnt Offerings"


In one last breath
You'll feel this damned old soul
You'll see the things I see
For all these years
Of pain and sacrifice
You'll know the pain I know
Of all these things
I offer unto you
Infernal wisdom waits
Now unleashed
Like the flames of hate
My sacrifice is made
Every note
And every word you hear
Comes from deep within
An angry soul
That twists and turns inside
Pondering this life
Crimson eyes
Staring through your lies
Awakes the inner rage
Take my knife
Make my sacrifice
You're my burnt offering
Spill your blood
Offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hours close at hand
Burn your soul
Offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command
Dark shadows fall on this sacred ground
Where true evil lies, summon them to rise
Take the traitors, thieves and liars
Feed them to the fire
But first, spread their blood around
The message will be found
Walk carefully my friends stab my back again
A warning from the skies
(fuck with us and die)
These are not idle threats my friends
We're slaughtering the lambs
True vengeance is on the rise
The traitors shall be damned
Cast their bodies to the flames
Spill your blood
Offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hours close at hand
Burn your soul
Offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command
Spill your blood
Offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hours close at hand
Burn your soul
Offer me good omen
Take your very life, this I command
[fading:]
Spill your blood
Offer me good omen
Make the sacrifice, the hours close at hand
