The Gavel Says Die...!
02:28
|

Step up to
The dock
And state your hopeless case
Court is now
In session
There is no escape
You will feel
My wrath
Before you reach the gates
Here I’m God
And I have decided your fate
Your Fate
I’m your Judge
I am your Jury
Your maniacal Jury
Slam the cage
Your home
For these final days
One more meal
The last
Choice you’ll ever make
Wet the sponge
Strap In
And throw the switch
Death creeps close
As you begin to twitch
The Gavel… Says… Die
(Solo – Weber)
DIE… In the chair – Say your prayers
DIE… Hung by rope – You start to choke
DIE… By poison gas – This breath your last
DIE… Shot to the head – And now you’re dead
Die
The Gavel says Die...!

Betray Your Beliefs
05:18
|

You are not
Bound to this
Life of deceitful prophecies
Turn your back
Walk away
From this harmful divinity
Life of sin
Is punished
In the fury of the flames
Press your hands
Together
Anxiety is taking names
Cult of fear
Sect of lies
Deluded grasp of sanity
Cult of dread
Sect of woe
The outside world’s true enemy
False construct
Flawed design
Power controls naivety
Free yourself
Take the reigns
Rescue your soul from treachery
Betray your beliefs
Burn them to the ground
Wrestle back your mind
Sovereignty be found
Betray your beliefs
Reduce them to dust
Poison ideology
Let it gather rust
Blinded by
Stories of
An omnipotent entity
That will take
You to the
Fabled home of the trinity
Wash your hands
Cleanse your feet
Of this doctrines evil myth
Start to think
And grow wise
Stop the archaic monolith
Cult of fear
Sect of lies
Deluded grasp of sanity
Cult of dread
Sect of woe
The outside world’s true enemy
False construct
Flawed design
Power controls naivety
Free yourself
Take the reigns
Rescue your soul from treachery
Betray your beliefs
Burn them to the ground
Wrestle back your mind
Sovereignty be found
Betray your beliefs
Reduce them to dust
Poison ideology
Let it gather rust
This faith festers in the
Darkness of one mind
Venom courses through the
Veins of those who abide
To be a disciple is to
Submit to the scourge
Break the shackles and
The spirit can emerge
(Solo – Weber)
Betray your beliefs
Burn them to the ground
Betray your Beliefs
Reduce them to dust
Poison ideology
Let it gather rust
Your idol is no god.

Rot In Oblivion
04:24
|
|||
A warrior born of dark
Sentenced to eternally burn
Banished into the void
Forbidden from a future return
Denounced by the king
Frowned on by the gods
Berated by the clan
Carrying their scorn
(Solo – Weber)
Messenger of death
Servant of an evil force
Come to cast a shadow over lands once free of dark
Empty blackened eyes
Weapons made of steel and bone
Morbid spell protects him in a veil of thickened smoke
Demon of the deep
General of a tortured realm
Trapped between the kingdoms of the living and the dead
Creeping in the night
Claiming souls and taking skulls
Moving through the villages and turning them to dust
A warrior born of dark
Sentenced to eternally burn
Banished into the void
Forbidden from a future return
Condemned to a wretched fate
His existence by itself is a curse
Now imprisoned in the gloom
To rot in oblivion
Entity of doom
Bringer of a violent rage
Visions of a flaming earth are scorched into his mind
Devoid of remorse
Callously destroying lives
Sent to cleanse the region of both powerful and weak
Fiend of the abyss
Crown prince of a ghoulish world
Arrives on a steed called Hell and begins his assault
Son of pure spite
Frantic barrage spilling blood
Vile wretch knows only how to decimate and kill
Rot
Rot in oblivion
Messenger of death
Servant of an evil force
Come to cast a shadow over lands once free of dark
Empty blackened eyes
Weapons made of steel and bone
Morbid spell protects him in a veil of thickened smoke
Demon of the deep
General of a tortured realm
Trapped between the kingdoms of the living and the dead
Creeping in the night
Claiming souls and taking skulls
Moving through the villages and turning them to dust
A warrior born of dark
Sentenced to eternally burn
Banished into the void
Forbidden from a future return
Condemned to a wretched fate
His existence by itself is a curse
Now imprisoned in the gloom
To rot in oblivion
(Solo – Weber)
Exiled to rot…. In oblivion

Deep
In the wood
The crone prepares her feast
The cauldron
Bubbles with what she’s fleeced
Bleak forest
Home to a legion of beasts
But the witch
Is the sorcerer of the east
A red X
Marks the
Tree line to contain her
Ravens
Stand watch
Harbinger gazers
Hazel
Branches
Creak and crack as she draws near
The
Necromancer
Claims a soul each year
Spells
Black magic
To lure them to the dark
The devils pond
Beside the cottages arch
Thorns line the path
The wolf patrols the track
The witch cackles
A child follows at her back
The witch in the wood
A red X
Marks the
Tree line to contain her
Ravens
Stand watch
Harbinger gazers
Hazel branches
Creak and crack as she draws near
Necromancer is here
(Solo – Weber)
Witch in the wood
The general is hunting you
Witch
We are hunting you
Witch
With fork and torch we march
Witch
Your fiery punishment due
Witch
We are hunting you

The Flames That Lick Your Flesh
Drag
The wicked one through mud
Cuss
And pelt the hag with stones
Bind
Her to the giant stake
Light
The pyre and she’ll burn
Burn
From skin to liquid melt
The flames that lick your flesh
Witch
The court has sentenced you to death
Take her
To be charred in the town square
These are the flames that lick your flesh

Sucked beneath the swell
In the cold dark of the night
South easterly winds
Now inflict their vicious bite
Forced on to the sand
On the 30th of May
90 mile beach
It’s home to this day
Fury of the tide
Turns the blue a foamy white
Perilous for man
To be dealt this luckless plight
Gale bellows down
Starts to tear the planks away
Swallowed by the waves
The sea claims it’s prey
Built in the 19th century
The ocean floor it’s destiny
Final voyage from the sound
Decision made to run aground
Over board and into shore
The seaman swims to sound the call
Everyone now safe on land
The vessel though completely damned
Trinculo
Swallowed by the waves
Trinculo
Built in the 19th century
The ocean floor it’s destiny
Final voyage from the sound
Decision made to run aground
Over board and into shore
The seaman swims to sound the call
Everyone now safe on land
The vessel though completely damned
Feel
The
Crushing power of the waves
Fear
The
Destructive power of it’s gaze
Swallowed by the Waves
Sucked beneath the swell
In the cold dark of the night
South easterly winds
Now inflict their vicious bite
Forced on to the sand
On the 30th of May
90 mile beach
It’s home to this day
Fury of the tide
Turns the blue a foamy white
Perilous for man
To be dealt this luckless plight
Gale bellows down
Starts to tear the planks away
Swallowed by the waves
The sea claims it’s prey
The sea claims it’s prey
Trinculo
Swallowed by the Waves

They're Under The Ground
03:24
|

Desolate landscape
A mountain desert
An evil presence
Beneath the sands
It’s getting closer
No one is safe from
The rumbling sound
Below the soil
Geological readings
Are off the scale
The town of Perfection
Is in their path
Archaic creature
From a nightmare
Evolution
Out of control
They Patrol Below
They’re under the ground
Subterranean terror
Snake tongued demon
Drags you under
And takes your life
Barbaric killers
Are hunting humans
Drinking your blood
And spitting out your bones
Relentless stalkers
Ferocious assassins
Rolling thunder
Echoes in the dirt
They sense your movement
And feel vibrations
Tentacles dart out
From the earth
Tentacles explode from the earth!
Leather skin
Beak of steel
They live to kill
There is no mercy
No getting away
Eviscerate you
You die today
They’ll never stop
Until You’re dead
Shredding flesh
Until no ones left
They are under the ground
They…. Are under the ground
Gone…. You’ll never be found
Fear…. Sets in as you hear the sound
They… Are under the ground
Subterranean terror
Snake tongued demon
Drags you under
And takes your life
Barbaric killers
Are hunting humans
Drinking your blood
And spitting out your bones
Spitting out your bones
They’re under the ground
Leather skin
Beak of steel
They will find you
They live to kill
There is no mercy
No getting away
Eviscerate you
You die today
They’ll never stop
Until You’re dead
Shredding flesh
Until no ones left

The Emerald Cave

The emerald cave yields riches beyond man’s wildest dreams
But the cave also possesses a great evil
An evil with the power to corrupt hearts and minds
Enter the cave if you dare
And erase your feeble mind

Relics Of A Dead Earth
04:00
|
|||
Ground is stained with blood
And the scars of battles past
Fallout from the war
Man has finally betrayed himself
Winds blow through the field
Foul and thick with putrid death
The stench of treachery
Stains the dead air
The earth reclaims itself
After the poisoning of its heart
The virus has been purged
Mass erasure a just result
And now all that remains
Are the bones of a doomed age
Phantom of apocalypse
Comes to collect
Age… Of the phantom comes
Age… Of repayments dawn
Age… Of the appointed soul
Age… The wraith is hunting
Relics of a dead earth
Remnants of a dead age
Relics of a dead earth
Treasures of a dead world
Relics of a dead earth
The earth reclaims itself
After the poisoning of its heart
The virus has been purged
Mass erasure a just result
And now all that remains
Are the bones of a doomed age
Phantom of apocalypse
Comes to collect
Relics of a dead earth
Remnants of a dead age
Relics of a dead earth
Treasures of a dead world
The time
Has now
Come
The debt be paid in full
Mother
Earth has
Ruled
Our fortunes are now hers
Spectre
Of the
Depths
Compiles her bounty
Amass riches of
Wasted humanity
(Solo – Weber)
Relics of a dead earth
Relics of a dead world
Relics of a dead earth
