Teeth and Flesh
02:25

|

The world will go on
Only God knows how long
Despite all your suffering
He's deaf to your cries
Witness to your punishment
You’re damned to survive
Chorus
A flickering in the shadows
A motion in the night
In a world of teeth and flesh
What will you do to stay alive?
You must kill, what you love
And love what can die!
The brain is a cage
Of darkness and light
When it escapes
Something switches on
Taking control to feed it’s hunger
The only choice is to run or fight
Chorus
Cities empty
Survivors scattered
Into a world desolate and obscene
Blood thickens, spills, splatters
The undead reign supreme
Chorus

Wendigo
05:06
|
|
||
Far to the north, covered in snow
Lives a terrible monster from below
A Fearsome face and a body deformed
A heart as cold as a winter’s storm
The smell of death around it lies
As it creeps under a blackened sky
A hunger for flesh, a thirst for blood
No one can stop it or hope they could
Chorus
Myth, legend, creature from Hell?
Few remain who can tell
Of midnight cries and bloody bones
On an icy wind, cries the name Wendigo
A daughter’s dread and a son’s nightmare
A father’s doom and a mother’s despair
15 feet tall, skin tight over bone
Deep in the forest it makes it’s home
Once it was a man, with a heart impure
A taste for flesh, without a cure
A soul so black, it does not feel
Hunting the night, for it’s next meal
Chorus
Before the sun sets, head for home
Don’t ever walk in the forest alone
Hush little one, keep the fire warm
And pull the covers up to keep you from harm
It’s ravenous hunger is out of control
There is no remorse, because it has no soul
Pray it passes your home tonight
So you awake alive to the morning light
Chorus

Five Kings
04:57
|
|
||
Five kings-of the Amorites, joining forces
Sworn to-defeat the invaders.
Marching-onward to city of Gibeon
Hurry-come save us! Hear our plea!
Chorus
Never be afraid
Stand and deliver
Arm yourself with belief in me
I am the Lord your God
Together we will slaughter and
Avenge ourselves on enemies
Disarray-The enemy flees before us
Routed-on the road to Beth Horon
Cut down-all the way to Azekah
Put to the sword-in Makkedah
Chorus
Five kings-kneel before Joshua
On their necks-the heels of the Israelites
Punishment-you receive what you gave
Five poles-Let the bodies hang

Verse
Deep in darkness, it lies concealed
An ancient one, waiting to reveal
Deadly truth, turned myth by man
Rise from the deep, to walk the land
Your fevered dreams, of broken landscapes
Revealing things that crack your mind
Unyielding flames, fraying sanity
Faced with this, better to die!
Verse
Tenebrous depths, shut off from light
Centuries unknown, carbonous night
Broken open by the folly of man
So rise from the deep, destroy the land
In terror your nightmare swims
In waters poisoned by what’s within
The icy depths of your drowning sanity
Faced with this, your mind explodes
Chorus
Ancient ones, come watch over me
Your eyes in my mind, they allow me to see
Through the darkness, through the door
Devour my mind, show me more
Ancient ones, come watch over me
Verse
Dormant king, awake from slumber
Wings unfurled to spread it’s hate
Tentacles rip the earth asunder
Risen from below to exterminate
Fevered dreams of broken landscapes
In icy waters your nightmares drown
Unyielding flames, frayed sanity
Faced with death, your mind explodes
Chorus
