1.	Age of Torment 08:21	lyrics	buy track
Changes are crawling over the land All things must come to an end Our deepest convictions were twisted to shame By an entourage so seemingly tame They're teaching the word of a stranger messiah Spreading his world like wildfire With a wistful heart I see their churches arise Where our old groves brought shelter in the night Age of torment Solo: Elwitschger Hundredds of years on the madness has won Fear and greed led to submission Those who stick to the old old way face hatred and scorn A faith forever forlirn They're whipping the ones who won't bend their knees As they preach of compassion and charity In the name of the cross they now fight side by side Till all of the heretics have died Age of torment Die! Die, now as you kneel There is no chance for false pleas Die! Die, break on the wheel Your soul will be cleansed by my steel Deus vult - heading to the Promised Land Wresting our claim from their demonic hand The false ones shall face expulsion and death I'm serving God's will - till my last breath Lead: Oberlerchner Lead: Elwitschger Solo: Oberlerchner A smell of death fills the streets of this town Full of moaning bodies with swollen boils Victims of a mighty disease Sent as punishment from God The mounts of garbage on the streets Won't help to stop the plague But we must atone for our sins with self-flagellation While the cold hand of death spares none Noe confess witch your pact with Satan You'll die in any way Burned at the stake or drowned in the lake There can't be enough decay No one escaped the strength of the inquisition They make you pay For crimes you've never committed For things you'd never say Devastating the sight, engulfing the mind The idea is left far behind The force of religion has taken its toll Total clerical control An age of torment, suffering and pain Its fascination will forever remain The age of legends, dark as the night Still filling your hearts with fright Age of torment
2.	Terror Right Below 05:10	lyrics	buy track
Kept six feet under, but still alive Can't think clearly, can't escape his reign of terror When imprisoned years Feel like the gruesome eternity, yeah! When years are passing by And children inbreed like rats When squalls are just not loud enough to hear Terror right below A man who spreads fear and evil disgrace Six feet in the ground That's his perverted working place When imprisoned years Feel like the gruesome eternity, yeah! When years are passing by And children inbreed like rats When squalls are just not loud enough to hear Terror, terror Screams from inside Won't reach the light When the night comes to last on the second plain And the victims scheme to end this evil reign With the sound of the lock they start to see Obeying is the only way... Their terminated souls Decompose to unhuman wrecks Manic diseases get rid Of their controlled affect Terrorized bodies Try to die in deepest fears Their vain hope is drowned In their abundance of tears!
3.	Lifeless Birth 05:59	lyrics	buy track
In a time where only the weak survive No need for values, for possession we strive Dazed minds, a devoid of ideas If you follow the mass then you’ve nothing to fear Mental death, a lifeless birth A virus breaking free They’re sneering on those who won’t obey in these days The time has come to rip the smile of their face Begging poets – reigning fools Spit on the law, corruption’s the rule The information overkill Bred legions too blind to see their own will Mental death, a lifeless birth A virus breaking free They’re sneering on those Who won’t obey in these days The time has come to rip the smile of their face Reckoning The time has come To reinvent the sense of life The last days of a futile mankind have begun The scourge must arise In a time of desperation Suppressed by equality Lifeless bodies born With a twisted perception An army controlled By the brainwashed mind possession Spread the word of fools Approved by all Remove your blindfold Crush them till they fall Or death will be your savior
4.	Death Spares (N)one 06:14	lyrics	buy track
I wake up as the Night kills the Day Lying here, Dying here in this smell of Decay I won’t believe, trying to find a way Out of this Nightmare, I’m living through A final release A final reckoning Facing the truth I know it’s hard to believe it but death spares none But me Can barely see, I can’t hear my own cries No need to ask anyone for the reason why No ancient prophecy, a logical conclusion To think we rule this world was just an illusion A final release A final reckoning Facing the truth I know it’s hard to believe it But death spares none Among the dust all is mine, Abundance and booze But here in this living hell, Wealth has no use We always thought that we have the power Of controlling life and death We were just another second in time A final release A final reckoning Facing the truth I know it’s hard to believe it but death spares none
5.	Erlkönig 04:04	lyrics	buy track
"Sweet child, all alone In the silence of the woods Lost in confusion, trembling and weak Come with me and you'll be good" No" I will not follow The hand of the Erl King "What strange brew Has added all your wits? I lead to a place of wonders Where all desires will be fed My daughters tend you, please you Nurse you back to health Refuse my hospitality And you'll face a certain death" No" I will not follow The hand of the Erl King Straying through the nowhere He's always on my tail Go back, fiend! Let go of me! "Dear child, your unwillingness Is starting to annoy Submit my will and bend your kneww Or force will employ!" Anger shooting through my veins As I reach out for strangulation A rage soon to be outdone Be a dreadful consternation No! this can't be happening Now I see his face So familiar... And dead!
6.	The Wild Hunt 04:45	lyrics	buy track
As midnight is falling I’m waking from my sleep Beyond a strange voice calling A yearning dark and deep Closing in, forcing out Into the night Where all my troubles can be found Conciousness is growing Escalates in unknown fear Rattling, tremendous moaning The hunter’s drawing near Closing in, forcing out In the woods Where all my troubles can be found Hear the call of the wild shatter the night Above they ride on no ground at all Unrestful soul, demons and ghouls Led by the grey one once so tall Empty eyes piercing me Must be out of my mind to think I can flee The huntsmen scent their prey now Still striving hard to flee Blood and limbs raining from the sky And strike me to my knees Giving in, reaching out For my soul Hunting on, like a hound To the night I am bound Hunting on, evermore Until the night I’m reborn
7.	History Deletes Itself 07:01	lyrics	buy track
Grand is this day I leave my faceless self behind The pride of the nation Gone is all frustration When I return there will be noone in my way This ain’t the place of my dreams Just an illusion so it seems Unlike heroes we get Treated like a rat No fanfares that guide us through the fields History, history repeats itself Till it deletes itself Technology will bring a sooner ending Death descending Bringing darkness evermore To eyes I’ve never seen before Comradery is short in here I realize in mortal fear As I hold my brother’s limbs in hands Still I heed all commands History, history repeats itself Till it deletes itself Technology will bring a sooner ending Death descending For months now mud was my home No lonely place but still alone But fortune is on our side All the grief lies far behind Worthless creatures so they say Rape and burn to make them pay The circle’s complete
8.	Thrill to Kill 06:18	lyrics	buy track
Through the battlefield sounds a cry We're watching our enemy die Killing them with sharpened steel We're bringing restless pain to feel We lust for blood, we'll kill them all Burn their kingdom, enforce its fall We're longing to break the enemies will Because we've got the thrill to kill Conquering the heart of their land Rivers of blood, witness the end Destroy their troops to carry on An endless game that can't be won It's time to kill now The thrill to kill It's time to kill now The thrill to kill Solo: Oberlerchner It's time to kill now The thrill to kill It's time to kill now The thrill to kill A million wars, a billion sons But the thrill to kill yes isn't gone Desperate souls, high on rage Just one way to break the cage Charity is bound to fail Ancient instincts will prevail It's time to kill now The thrill to kill It's time to kill now The thrill to kill
9.	Crystal Deth (U.M.D.A.) 09:09	lyrics	buy track
Conscious and mind Diverge wildly you'll see When you know What has happened to me A life of misfortune And a fate disease Forcing me To measures beyond beliefe One after one The genious unfolds Crystal clear Is the chemical gold Deep and deeper Into the criminal maelstrom The good of the loved justifies The blood sacrifice All hail the king All in my way Sleep with the fishes tonight Until I take my last breath I bring crystal Crystal Crystal deth! At first my deeds Were conflicting my beliefs But soon Red and blue made green Turning me To a victim of my greed A machine Tolerating all extremes Father Please forgive them my sins I've poisoned the lives Of both foe and kin The entrance was hard But to search for the exit is futile My fortune is malice Virtue's gate is eternally locked All hail the king All in my way Sleep with the fishes tonight Until I take my last breath Broken But free Crystal Crystal Crystal, crystal deth
