Marching to the Grave
03:53
|
|||
Alone in darkness, shadows fall
Time has come to heed the call
The corridors of time we all tread
Light fades in the end
At both ends, the candle burns
Tick by tick, the hands turn
WE’RE ALL MARCHING TO THE GRAVE
Trials of life we strive and fight
In the end it’s just eternal night
Memories woven fade away
In the journey to the grave
Sands of time, never relent
Walk the path, where all are sent
WE'RE ALL MARCHING TO THE GRAVE
On we march, destiny’s sealed
Nothing left to reveal
Cold embrace that holds us all
Carry us home, eternity’s call
Step by step, fall in line
This life, is out of time

Hellhound
03:41
|
|||
Out of fire and brimstone they roam
Sworn to protect the devil’s home
Legends speak of the souls they chased
To drag 'em back to that cursed place
PRE
Guardians of the abyss
Deadlier than a serpent’s kiss
Evil and treacherous
CHORUS
Whoa Whoa- Hellhound!
In the shadows of the night they prowl
Eyes of fire with a fearsome howl
Fur as black as a moonless night
A rotted heart, filled with spite (PRE / CHORUS)
Beware the beast that never rests
In your darkest hour they are your test

Death Spiral
03:48
|
|||
Let’s divide and monetize and let the outrage fuel it
Fortune or fame, it’s a profitable game, if you know how to use it
Any hot take can be a golden goose, open your mouth and let the shit run loose
If it offends, doesn’t matter, cause we eat this garbage on a silver platter
CHORUS
Fire up the lies
Close your mind and shut your eyes
Hang on it's going viral
Fall into a death spiral
Choleric, ranting, self righteous and seething
Mix it all together to get the people believing
Twist it around, and pour it into their ear
Let it ferment with their secret fears
Nothing gained if nothing’s provoked
So set the snare at the end of the rope
Enthrall, enchant, and captivate
Distort, corrupt, and fill with hate (CHORUS)
Rally your base and antagonize your critics
It all count when they share or click it
The blind will follow, the awake will shreek
But they both fall in like a line of sheep
Symphony of discordant disfunction
Make a living at the junction
Chaos, half truth, and trickery
Falsehood and treachery (CHORUS)

Kerpeikkari
01:50
|
|||
A mysterious allure, a thrill he can’t explain
Te razor cuts the skin, there’s solace in your pain
Throat cut wide, flashing a crimson grin
He’s better at it now, he’s doing it again
CHORUS
Kerpeikkari, the executioner
Dark clouds, surround your head
(A mother’s tears mixed with blood)
From the first kill, never be the same
Leaving what’s real for the totally insane
Murder your parents, killing your kin
A deadly killing spree of at least a dozen (CHORUS)
A macabre artist, painting in red hues
No turning back, got more death to do
Spared execution, but caged like a dog
Pacing back and forth chained to a wall (CHORUS)

American Tragedy
03:46
|
|||
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of misery
Land where slavery thrived
Land where the natives died
Verse
Our history filled with blood
The sick & dying left in the mud
From every mountainside
Fear and hatred breed
CHORUS
OH AMERICA
Violence is your history (legacy)
OH AMERICA
You can change the book, but you can’t erase
the lies, deceit, or the tragedy
Distrust swells the breeze
Keeping us on our knees
For those who wear the crown
Ban everything that is unpleasant
Change the past for the present
To keep you down
The unholy trinity
The nation prays to thee
Hatred, fear and prejudice
How much more can you take of this? (CHORUS)

Lord of Torment
05:44
|
|||
You made a path of blood and left a trail of tears
There’s darkness in your heart, but now judgement’s here
Stars fall from the heaven
The keys to unlock the pit
A man like you chased death, but you couldn’t die
Death fled from you, no peace of mind
CHORUS
Stars fall from the heavens,
The key to unlock the pit
Now become death,
Archangel, lord of torment
Carry the shield
Pick up the sword
Now become Death
The will of the Lord
Carry the sins of vengeance and hate
All that they build, you devastate
Hell and destruction, can never be filled
Like the hate of man, insatiable
Unleashed upon the world
The vengence of the lord to be unfurled
No release, from your heart’s pain
No redemption, just feed the flames (CHORUS)
