1. Sacrifice In Vain

Trained, from birth how to kill
Suicide campaign
Brainwashed to believe.

MARTYR

Blood, shed from years of war
Clamor for revenge
Human killing machines

MARTYR

Pray, to a deity you've been told
Raging your war hymns
Victims once again

MARTYR

SACRIFICE, IN VAIN
SACRIFICE, IN VAIN

Souls, many laid to rest
Now your time has come
You're the chosen one

MARTYR






2. Ravaged

Gas fume vapors, infest the air so thick
One match now stricken,
this game will now begin
Flames of combustion
Spreading through your lungs
Spastic reaction, blistered
black your tongue.
Hair evaporates your skin
begins to melt
Inhale to scream, can't rid
this pain your dealt

Ravaged. Carbon released
Ravaged, your life deceased

Boiling point of your blood, see the death toll rise
Human wall of flames, no one will survive

Engraving flesh with flame. leaving his mark
Evidence left to burn, blackened at heart

Ravaged, serial killer
Ravaged, pleased by life he took






3. Tribulation

Distress inflicted upon, affliction and suffering

Sacrifice, death overthrown
Offer your life, pain is thy home
Bleed for me, I'll die for you
Tribulation of the one cursed by doom
Torment one way to survive
Only the strong will remain

Overcome, the wicked shall
fall, guided by forces unknown

Frozen terror inside your eyes
Look in the mirror see your despise

Heresy, abundant loss, dwell
and beware the path you cross

Paradise thrown to the ground
For disaster, where your life is bound
Victory, domination, last one to stand
Will rule tribulation

Distress, inflicted upon, affliction and suffering
Crisis, close to death
Defeat conscious sin






4. They Rise

Awakened from her tomb,
at dusk she will appear
To rise above the moonlit sky
from home beyond the grave
The children of the forest,
Descend into the night
Howling through the glowing mist,
for hunger they will feed.

AT DUSK THEY RISE

Cast into the shadows, the
hunt will now begin
Craving blood of innocence
victims to her spell
Appetite increases, the evening still so young
Nocturnal driven anguish
reanimates the dead

Jugular penetration,
paralyzed for the feast
Inhuman blood transfusion,
her veins now warm with life
Arise queen of the undead
strike fear into their eyes
Like cattle in the darkness
quenching her eternal thirst

The cemetary beckons, return unto the grave
At dawn she will be
weakened, for soon the sun shall arise
The tomb has been discovered, uncovered in her sleep
Drive the stake into thy heart
forever lay in peace

AT DUSK THEY RISE






5. Manifestation

Verge of destruction, past life a mess
Domesticated, father knows best
Schizophrenic, self centered freak
Won't see it coming, soul filled with hate

Haunted possession,
axe in your hand
Eyes filled with blood, psychotic acts
Hair trigger temper,
deranged and mad
Submerge in darkness,
coming your way

Day of reckoning, want to be the
thing inside you will unleash
Voices in your head they command
Carry out these dreadful plans

Awaiting the day in disarray
Stalking his prey, those he betrayed
Building inside, terror will hide
When it's released, horror will feast

Blood will flow, rage the beast
Hunt for you, life will cease






6. Season Of Extinction

Mass destruction, cities fall
The end is near, for life you crawl
Sirens holler, nowhere to run
Earthquakes shatter, disaster done

Volcanic eruptions, the death
toll will rise
Natural disaster, hear
tormented cries

Burning in fire, lungs explode
Not prepared to die
These events have been foretold
The world now gone, your life consumed

Tidal waves smother, engulfed in endless storm
Hurricanes swarming,
prophets predictions born
Un-fold the end of time, last
day of human kind

Collide with fear, demolished
state, Now forsaken your destined fate
Ten billion dead, crippling plague
No survivors, your life slips away.






7. The Pain Remains

[Instrumental]






8. Basher

Victim of a crime Fueled by pure hate
Ski mask for disguise Violence your fate
Anger this will feed Now it's time to bleed

Your ways are sick Punished for your sins
No last chance for hope This your life depends
No way to escape Taken alive
Back to your closet Now it's time to die

Violence your fate(BASHER)
Fueled by pure hate(BASHER)
Anger this will feed(BASHER)
Now it's time to bleed(BASHER, BASHER)

Don't want to listen Deaf to words you speak
Confused and braindead Bathing in defeat
Should not have been born This world you infest
Your kind unwanted When your dead I'll rest

Beaten to the ground(BASHER)
Til' there's no more sound(BASHER)
Victim of this crime(BASHER)
Now it's time to die(BASHER)






9. Aggravated Battery

Slice of the blade, penetrate the flesh
Form pools of blood, your head I crush
With broken glass, in cruor you are blessed
Scream like a bitch, into your face my fist!

Your turn to pray, time to feel karma
Violent wrath, persecution drama
Enter my world, one thing you will regret
Mutilation, the concrete you have met

The nightmare has begun
charges have been pressed
I plead not guilty, no bond for my arrest
To many options, so very little time
Time served, I've paid for this crime.

Aggravated battery
You begin to bleed
Aggravated battery
Growing hate filled seed
Aggravated battery Time to feel pain
Aggravated battery I'm the one insane






10. Cuidate Del Traidor

Stabbed into the back
Your kind you betray
Lie into my face
False are the words you say

Last chance your offer
Grab the cash and run
Grand theft committed
Worse form of a con
The path you leave behind
With the damage done
Live a life of crime
You're the guilty one

Traidor
Cuidate del traidor
Traidor
Cuidate del traidor

Your small mind altered
By the drugs you take
Convinced of your own lies
You've become a fake
Take what is not yours
Back into hiding
Your acts are corrupt
Far from law abiding

Traidor
Cuidate del traidor
Traidor
Cuidate del traidor
