His Children
04:25

|
He takes what he wants from his children
When they receive of his glory
They are purged and made holy
He culls as he will of his flock
And hears not a cry of protest
His gentle hands firm about their throats
As they take in the sins of the father
Kneel for the father
Kneel for the father's love
He gropes at their light in his darkness
And finds his love in young untainted flesh
Kneel for the father
Kneel for the father's love
Bleed for the father
Bleed for the love of god

Death to the Living
04:49
|
|||
|
Unleashed - this noxious cloud
A mist that forms a shroud
Obscuring life - obscuring light
Stumbling through the fog
of the necropolitan night
Shadows threaten violence
fading in and out of sight
They scream:
"Death to the living!"
These shadows of the future
looming; threatening with fate
An ugly voice cries from inside
of shrill and bitter hate
Screaming:
"Death to the living!"

Breathe Deep and Die
08:04
|
|||
|
The sweet perfume of a dying land
That rancid richness of the rotting
Our punishment
For being born
To carry on
And be no more
This is the way of all
This is the way
This is the way of all
This is our way
Choking in clouds of dusty death
Our candles burnt down to their very last
Draw up your strength; draw up your breath
Breathe deep once more: breathe deep and die!
Breathe deep
Breathe deep and die
Die!

Slavic Fire
07:44
|
|||
|
Drag the wounded through the mud
And steel yourselves 'gainst the coming flood
Peel these crosses from our walls
They've been no good to us at all
Bleed the bull and burn the wheel
It never was for us to kneel
Others do not conquer us
We are the conquerors
So it shall always be for us
Beneath the pale and silver moon
Behold the flames of great Perun!
Raze their churches from this land
Burn their world and start again

Sacrament
05:09
|
|||
|
As their realm crumbles around them
All blissfully aware
A chance to meet their maker
It's all too much for their fickle hearts to bear
Sacrament!
Kneeling as they go
Bowing to the deathblow
We are the answer to their prayer
Drunk on the blood of Christ
High on the fumes of burning flesh and wood
Sacrament!

Pale Temptress
04:40
|
|||
|
I am drawn to her light in the black
I am drawn to that pale reflection of all that I lack
She salts my wounds but soothes my heart
And now I can't remember
Life before her warmth
The temptress laughs
I fill my glass
And we begin again and again
Our joys we fake
And so we make
The same mistakes again and again
She takes my hand
And leads me down
Down, down into her special Hell
Does she laugh with me?
Or cry for me?
I can never really tell...

Blade in the Dark
06:24
|
|||
|
I'll pass through the night
Like a blade in the dark
An impotent flame
I'll be burnt out before I can start
For shame!
Each moment sears and burns another scar
Such pain can make us forget who we are
To forget is divine
Each memory another waste of time
So don't remember me!
Sometimes it's best just to forget
What you can't feel you can't regret
I'll put the past out of my mind
And leave the present world behind
I pass through the night
Like a blade in the dark
