Ravaging the shores

"Across the haunted landscape of medieval time, where the earth's north tips so far from the withering sun that light will appear no more,
where light will appear no more.
The cold in the air empowers the nordic, sent to purify the populous,
a bitter hate unfearfull warriors sent to rectify indifference.
Ravaging the shore.
Approaching forth with forged steel torch lit, sent for one purpose to fulfil their carnal bloodlust.
On the open sea we watch the sky to find our passage through the bitter arctic waves to a land that grips the essence of a time still yet not known.
At the peak of toil disaster strikes, unmatched hell bound fury, their time of mourning will not come for those unfortunate, the seas now washed dark with blood, a crimson tide of death ravaging the shores"

Immemorial

Immemorial the chaste are made the cravens prey, deep inside ones slumber we begin to elate as on a moonless eve.
Continual burden, unceased agonizing restrain as on a moonless eve.
To search through the past amidst stories of memory all things come to a stand still,
A distant place in time will feel my pain within each fallen year reduced, ridden with scorn, Within theses painful thoughts a cold hate glows, attain the dauntless prowess, regain my reign.
To relinquish nothing of their time, greed of religion rot the mind.
No not of their past embracing the present.
The seed of hate grows deep within.

Weaving time in vain
04:20
|

|
Banished to a desolate place, inverted in time to serve not lead a race
voracious desires form a fleeting flame of hope
fields strewn with the smouldering prayer of ash
to return to the start, to change their fate, to rid the world of lies and christian faith
I meddle with the turning wheels of time in vain
through funereal bounds I surpass segmental strain
trampled cross all frail thoughts impure
alluring holy spirits with our shadows
entwined lay the idol in a unison of thorn
uprooting plots of a fictional disgrace

Dusk brings attack when light creeps to the horizon
majestic in each stride mounted knights approach
a blood red reflection lay still feeling power, harvesting sorrow
arise past the faith and conquer them
the calling down of judgement upon the souls corrupt
no fault of their own
shackles desist now, denounce their god
the only way we shall survive
erase the past
battered weak, cold and abandoned by faith
existence has proven to condemn all and never look back
deny and abolish those of the poisoned mind
freeing the unborn child from christian enslavement
REAP THE UNBORN OF THE SINS FROM THEIR LORD
we shall decide, bow down for no one
denounce their god
buried in ash
their prayers meet their death

Black northern storm
04:57
|
|||
|
Boreal squalls impel from the north
with swift and sharp tribulation, great chasms form, odium
to watch their demise, watch from the sky as the storm condemns all man
watch for the wisdom and eternal power, collection of fury, external darkness
bow to the obvious answer, hate
observing the world from the sky bow down now
black northern storm
what will they follow when all hope is gone
crusaders of these fallen years hailing thy master of the north
1000 years the world has begun to rot
destitute of life and spirit
boreas wielder of northern storms
what is left for them but to wither and die
tortured fate but why?
watch from the sky as the storm consumes the earth

Left behind
05:01
|
|||
|
Long summer nights have finalized
crows fly free in a distant sky
memories dispel inside my twisting mind
all that I knew has been left behind
I can feel a cold hand touch my back
a seduction so sweet when my thoughts turn black
inside my heart I am the only one
who cannot turn back on an era thats done
the devil pushes forward I can feel him around
his visions that once pondered me I see through now
autumn has fallen on another year
this cold hate beckons and becomes so near
to conquer the mental flaws and abolish the past
more than it means to them, beckoning
carry me away, left behind

The abyssal plain
04:28
|
|||
|
Beasts of blackness storm up from the depths of doom
sardonic cackles race through the night of black
furies of hell desecrate past and present
sterile are religious ways of an archaic history
I have attested tranquility as the flames of beauty engulfed
they would reach to the stars
I have seen the end the infinite abyssal plain
perpetual darkness concealing the light of man
escaping christian rule, take back the land
for these lands must be free, rid us of the unworthy
crutch of ancient sorrow a forsaken memory
strike down all mankind and his everlasting needs
furies of hell desecrate past and present
sterile are religious ways of an archaic history
tear back the veil of unopposed christian faith
we'll make them suffer and take back all our lands

Consumed in ignorance the feeble minds
the earth shall suffocate their kind
with the auroral dimness of the polar night
cold sea currents shift south from the arctic lands
the days of mankind's reign exist only in memory
watch as the boreal storm proceeds forth gathering strength
to rid the world of man
a silent shadow conceals the fury of the north
winter landscape revealed
bow to the boreal force
I stalk the northern sky watching as sulphuric mists sculpt the earth
mountainous trees shall breach the sky
flowing sanguine oils of the heart
