Avenge Us 05:23
Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Siervo As the blood of men is spilled It seeps through the ground Into the core of the world Raging with fire for justice Justice! Engrossed by sin The land erupts in anger Carrying the cries of the fallen Through black smoke Across the barriers of the heavens When will you stand for us? When will you bruise the moon? When will you judge and overthrow the world? The dark waters swell by the touch of your hand Forcing Hades to surrender your dead Headless bodies unearthed, proclaim your glory Glory! Glory! As the blood of men is spilled It seeps through the ground Into the core of the world Boiling in jealousy for the living When will you lift your hand? To collapse the stars? When will you smear the sun? Descend and crack the world? Torrents of blood flow Darkness descends May the full count be met To hasten the end Consumed by wrath The earth’s mouth spews plagues and curses The core of the world flows endlessly Pierced, hollowed Come quickly, come quickly Avenge us! Come quickly, come quickly Avenge us! For your glory! As the blood of men is spilled No drop will go unanswered No stone will go unturned Expect us! May the blood of the slayed cover their tongues And never go dry for what they’ve done Drink our bitterness Pain and suffering They are worthy of the sword One for every nation Until they’re broken And mourn for end to come Avenge us!

Mouth Spell 05:06
Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Siervo and Eero Tertsunen Curses flow from my mouth And manifest themselves In the carnal plane Armed by the power to hurt These words can murder And make the strong weak The poison of vipers glazes my lips Cursing and bitterness reign Death and life are in the power of my tongue And I shall eat the fruit thereof I will reap what I sow! By the same token I can uplift the broken And pull them out of the bottomless pit That pulsates with the viciousness of man One word at a time Will I release the curse into the world? Or breathe hope into the dead? Mouth spell, defiles the body Burning toward the endless abyss Crowned in misery Remorse spreads Why did I strangle love? And dispose your name? Why did I abandon peace? I will reap what I sow In horror! Mouth spell, defiles the body Burning toward the endless abyss Mouth spell, defiles the body Upon the coals of the lake of fire

Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Siervo In the throes of death I walk, observe The threat of a raised bow And the rumblings of famine Asphyxiated by the aroma of pestilence Sore Upon Sore Behold the riders of loss Who herald the first death Sent to murder all that breathe All will be strung in hunt Like wild boar Slain! Behold the crowned usurper treading in conquest The sword wielding terror arming the sons of Cain The wraith of hunger spoiling all sustenance Guided by Death’s hand Adorned in robes of hellfire Sore Upon Sore Behold the riders of loss Who herald the first death Sent to murder all that breathe The seals are torn open A reward for mankind’s idolatry The rape of self Spiritual whoredom! Both rich and poor shall flee Seeking refuge and will have no fill By the words of the four beasts Servants of the One, they call true! Sore Upon Sore Behold the riders of loss Who herald the first death Sent to murder all that breathe As they hid in the mountains They shook in their flesh and aching bone Crying for Death But He would not come Hail, hail the coming judgment!

Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Siervo and DAC My face is hidden in a cloak of darkness Consumed by desire and desecration Pity and shame take root I am not worthy of you! You who know my inner secrets My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts Carry me beyond my limitations I surrender my withering soul I feel the weight upon my shoulders Desperation upon my lips Cleanse these wounds upon my mind Cease this lament from my flesh Deliver me from my own contagion This starvation of body and soul This endless haunting of self depreciation Hell shows no remorse! You who know my inner secrets My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts Carry me beyond my limitations I surrender my withering soul Deliver me from my own self Liberate me from these chains You who know my inner secrets My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts Carry me beyond my limitations I surrender my withering soul No shadow can cloud my judgment No light can blind my walk I find what I seek And cleave to things for what they are And not claim to be!

Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Siervo Oh great serpent! You who swallow my eye And clench it in your mouth Injecting it with darkness! I cast you out To sever you I sacrifice my sight! My right arm will deliver the final blow My left eye I shall strike I opened my eyes and I did not see One swipe from my blade set me free! Struggle forth Twist, maim, and mangle me Strengthen your grasp It will be your last! Although my burden is heavy My cup overflows with agony I thirst for revenge! I shall cripple your head beneath my feet! My right arm will deliver the final blow My left eye I shall strike I opened my eyes and I did not see One swipe from my blade set me free! Struggle forth Twist, maim, and mangle me Struggle forth I thirst for revenge! How great the darkness!

Unto Hades 05:26
Music by Eero Tertsunen | Lyrics by Eero Tertsunen The thread of life is cut away A spirit is departing from the earthly realm Was it called out before its time? What was its purpose in life? Into the void The soul flies away From madness to meaningless death Close ones are left to stay Destinies rendered to dust Callings forever forgotten Now lost into eternity Is this the final destiny? Unto Hades! Memories of life will fade Unto Hades! Leaving behind distorted fate Unto Hades! Into suffering and hate Unto Hades! Behind the sealed gate! Distorted and broken soul Its mind clouded with madness Severed from life by its own hand Deeds and calling now left undone Into the void The soul flies away From madness to meaningless death Close ones are left to stay Destinies rendered to dust Callings forever forgotten Now lost into eternity Is this the final destiny? Unto Hades! Memories of life will fade Unto Hades! Leaving behind distorted fate Unto Hades! Into suffering and hate Unto Hades! Behind the sealed gate! Who holds the keys of Hades? To whom all things are possible? Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
