WOTANS PROCESSION
-----------------
(instrumental)


SKINCARVER
----------
Pull another face
Rip another hide
Steal the waning moon
From a dying bride

All the world must die
All the world must die
Ripped and skinned alive
All the world must die

Skin
Carver

Cutting into madness
Slice upon slice
Cross on a chest

All the world must die
All the world must die
Ripped and skinned alive
All the world must die

Skin
Carver


CIRCLE OF SNAKES
----------------
A grain of bane, the secret name
Caress of scales up and down your leg
Unholy dream, a flick of the tongue
The scent of seraphs breathing down your neck

Blackrock spirals down this reptile highway
Writhing like a devil

Writhe around your face like a circle of snakes
Halfway to hellbent

Halfway to hell
Halfway to hell
Halfway to hellbent

A lock of strix, a matted mane
Another nyx with the mark of Cain
Nagalist, a coiled charm
Grip of vipers coiling up your arm

Blackrock spirals down this reptile highway
Writhing like a devil

Writhe around your face like a circle of snakes
Halfway to hellbent

Halfway to hell
Halfway to hell
Halfway to hellbent


1000 DEVILS REIGN
-----------------
1000 devils reign up from the Western shores
1000 seasons smile upon the bleeding horns

Ones that you are
1000 devils reign

1000 devils scream into the violent sky
A sea of angels fall, floods of feathers fly
1000 devils die and die another night
To let the anger grow so they can split the skies

Ones that you are
1000 devils reign

1000 futures end upon the Eastern shores
1000 devils reign and reign forever more

Ones that you are
1000 devils reign


SKULL FORREST
-------------
Death-type dreaming, hoping, not fade away
And I'm sinking ever deep in the gleaming
And I'm weaving down through alleys of bone
Dermal dripping, trees of people, still it lingers
And it's endless, winding, long corridors of the bleaching
And the grinning never frowning

Oh, oh
Skull forest

And I see them haunting, skinless, forlorn
Swaying demons, eyeless creatures, hearts still beating
There the fallen thickets, row after row
Dangling hopeless, damned and woeful, still they glisten
Then the faces staring that I have known
All the parted, all the missing, here to greet me

Oh, oh
Skull forest


HELLMASK
--------
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask

Razed infernal, hell reborn
Gaze unhallowed, eyes of stone
Face of fire, face of death
Masked devils, beast enraged

HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask

Stare of darkness, smile of flames,
Untold secrets, hate regained
Killing grimace, black abyss
Jaws of hunger, murder kiss

HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask

Welcome to my labyrinth of pain
Know that you may never come again
Is the curse too much to bear?
Step beyond if you dare

HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask
HellMask


WHEN WE WERE DEAD
-----------------
We were blind to the light
We were numb to the world
And the breath of the still
Sent a chill through the days

And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks on your lips
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember when we were dead

Now the days never end
There is no sleep for the dead
We are abandoned, interred
We are the lost other world

And the hell of your eyes
And the cracks on your lips
And the cold of your breath
Makes me remember when we were dead

When we were dead


NIGHT, BESODOM
--------------
She brings her sleepless sex from Babylon
She sends her hallowed name on wings of flame
Don't ever think she's powerless in ways of love
She only craves the things of sin and lust

Night, BeSodom

She lets her blackness fall, bewitched mane
She steals into all dreams and clouds all gaze
Don't ever think she's powerless while drawing blood
She only cares for things of sin and lust

Night, BeSodom

(this stanza currently untranscribed)

Night, BeSodom


MY DARKNESS
-----------
I saw you
Inside, yeah
My darkness
Alive

You don't sleep, you don't cry
You don't smile unless someone dies

Wanna see the horns rise up and down
Wanna creepy crawl across your town
Wanna send a chill into the mind
Wanna see the shadows come to life

I saw you
Inside, yeah
My darkness
Alive

You don't dream, you don't feel
You don't fear what lies underneath

Wanna see the horns rise up and down
Wanna creepy crawl across your town
Wanna send a chill into the night
Wanna see the shadows come to life

I saw you
Inside, yeah
My darkness
Alive


NETHERBOUND
-----------
Your forever blinding guile
Your forever stained
Your forever nether-bound
Forever slaked

And the world is ours
Let the others die
And we shine immortal
We can touch the skies

Cause we're nether-bound

Your forever discontent
Your forever stamped
Your forever malevol
Paradise regained

And the world is ours
let the others die
And we shine eternal
We have touched the skies

Cause we're nether-bound


BLACK ANGEL, WHITE ANGEL
------------------------
We've lost the light, another night
Kill these days and make them go away
Skulls on fire
The burning faces know all hope is gone

Would you lie in wait or would you kill your brother?
Would you offer out your hand then unleash the dagger?

Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel
Come down and lay in the danger
Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel

You're lost your way among the fray
The blackest days are waiting up ahead
Blazing skulls
The burning children know it's all a game

Would you die in pain or would feed the maelstrom?
Would you offer up the necessary soul?

Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel
Come down and lay in the danger
Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel

Would you lie in wait or would you kill your brother?
Would you offer out your hand and unleash the dagger?

Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel
Come down and lay in the danger
Black angel, white angel
Kneel down and lick from the razor
Dark angel, light angel

Black angel, white angel
Dark angel, light angel
Black angel, white angel
Dark angel, light angel
