The dreaming city burns
Pride of Melnibone
Golden War barges issue forth
With support from Dragon Caves
The usurper must die
Or the slaughter is in vain
The white-haired kin slayer metes out doom
But will pay the price in pain
Blood, blood, blood
Blood for the Savage Blade
On the hunt for Jagreen Lern
Against the wizards of Pan Tang
Throughout his quest for the book of dead gods
From which nothing was gained
On the black blade Elric leaned
Hated friend and trusted foe
A weapon with its own dark will
turning scratch into mortal blow
In the albino's hand
A rune-engraved black blade
Possessing the mind of a morbid demon
stormbringer its name
The Emperor's red eyes
Tell of kin and loved ones slain
Still he must keep ever on seeking
Blood for the savage blade

Twisted Metal Minds
03:09

There is a battle
Screaming in the night
A Fight to the death
Recalled in a haze
The twisting of minds
The ringing of steel
Discover the truth
In pain rejoice
Now you need this fucking sound
Bury your foes in hateful noise
Crush the weak - Shatter the lie!
Embrace your twisted Metal Mind
In the blink of an eye
The flash of a blade
One great killing stroke
Unleashed on the world
Reality Shifts
Perspective is focused
The power of iron
Commanding your blood
Now you need this fucking sound
Bury your foes in hateful noise
You've found the flint to spark a flame inside
And forge a Twisted Metal Mind
The long night is over
Sun glinting on steel
Blood drenched and hungry
Grim warriors rise
Yearning for clamor
With barbaric shrieks
A storm will erupt soon
A black avalanche!

Absolute Hell
04:40
|
|||
To survive another day can be a hard-fought victory
In the face of a faltering will
To endure through raging violence
in the shadows of the mind
As winds whisper suicidal spells
Nothing can be trusted, feel the circling vultures' scorn
Hope is drained, replaced by mocking ghosts
Yearning for the warmth of the scorching flames of hell
Reassured by steel pressed in skin
Floating through a grey void, only comfort apparitions
Shells of humanity, hallow, patronizing
A test of your conviction to pursue the chosen path
Or the humor of the gods that toy with fools
Realize you'll stumble nevermore
Once you have ceased to rise
Exit seems the only true reward
Is not everlasting life just an eternity of pain?
Are you held by fear of failure, or unknown?
Is perceived power just a closely held delusion?
Internal war can't end in victory
This hell is absolute
Yet still we cling to life
Our quest cannot conclude
While breath remains
To satisfy the self
We feed the ego lies
But if you seek the truth
Join us here in Hell

Black Sorcery
06:26
|

Mistress of the night - Cloaked in beguiling shadow
Heart cold as the grave - Where her resting servants lie
Cruel beyond all measure- Beautiful beyond Compare
In the grip of her enchantment - I am willingly enslaved
Delving into forbidden lore
Human eyes were never meant to see
To achieve the ultimate power
A willing betrayal of humanity
Schooled in necromantic arts, astrology, and alchemy
Bending souls to impose her will
With powerful Black Sorcery
Behind her eyes a deadly malice
Burning and black
She holds life within her frozen grip
To conquer death there is no price she would not gladly pay
With one gaze all breath is sucked away
Blood freezes in veins
Her glamour shining brighter than the sun
All worship her name
Love
Pay tribute, obey
In terror
I'm drawn as a moth to the flame
Her shining eyes - Hold the keys to man's undoing
Stars lighting a smile - That would trap even the dead
Within the shadowed tendrils - Of her long and twisted hair
The serpents that drape her shoulders
Lose their winding way

Rotten And Ready
04:26
|

Exhausted by the search for some passion, without pride
Time to let it rip, let loose some hate, distaste for life
Caged animal is bursting out, unleash the beast inside
Time to let it fucking rip, taste the sweetness of the night
Sweet...
Sweet, rotten
Rotten and Ready
(Ripping)
Bogged down in the mire, is it man or a machine?
The rusting taste of blood, a rumbling from down below
Life will echo through the dark
as the pleasure builds to screams
At the witching hour's crescendo,
artillery erupts
Sick...
Sick, sweet, rotten
Rotten and Ready
(Ripping)
Rotten and Ready
Filthy and Fast
Lascivious and Loose
Blinded by hatred
Guided by Satan
Embracing the tightening noose
Cold touch of flame caresses my soul
My hard steel glistens
Her eyes are a void
Shadows are flickering
Tonight is eternal..
The alcohol cuts both ways, nowhere further to descend
Filth and scum will cling for ages, open sores to fester soon
No revelation of self-loathing, he will taste the nausea's end
Just another fucking nightmare as the avatar of doom
Sick...
Sick, sweet, rotten
Rotten and Ready
(Ripping)

One Foot In The Grave
05:00
|
|||
Let it be known!
The time has arrived to exterminate a verminous plague
Of backstabbing parasites and confidence-sapping heretics
To swim a river of blood against a rust-foamed,
raging current
To climb a naked sky and pluck the white-hot stars!
With one foot in the grave
Two eyes blazing with hatred
Though my body is frail
My will cannot be shaken
With one foot in the grave
One fist raised in defiance!
One night will change all
One man will taste triumph!
I've breathed your noxious fumes for far too many years
The ringing in my ears will never cease
Scorching through the earth, my vengeance will be claimed
On twisting agony vultures will fucking feast!
With one foot in the grave
Two eyes blazing with hatred
Though my body is weak
My will cannot be shaken
With one foot in the grave
One fist raised in defiance!
One night will change all
One man will taste triumph!

On the filthy wings of vultures
Flies a fetid black wind
Oppressive stench of life's destruction
Foretells war's imminent decent
Cloaked within the stuff of nightmares
Shrieking hatred to the sky
With a cursed invocation
Warriors Rise!
The force that we command
Will subjugate the earth
We crush all opposition, Grind cities into dust
Reduce kingdoms to rubble, Drain emperors of blood
Killing! Warfare!
We will piss upon your ashes
Baptize your children in your blood
We will train them to be killers
As war rages ever on
Never shall quarter be given
To us mercy is unknown
Even the sun will batter corpses
Bleaching bones!
See the storm on the horizon, Feel impending doom
Soulless black-hearted soldiers, Take your soul
The force that we command
Will subjugate the earth
We crush all opposition, Grind cities into dust
Reduce kingdoms to rubble, Drain emperors of blood
Bloodthirsty mercenaries, Marching inexorably
Vast legions of evil, Conquering eternally
