THE ART OF GROOMING

1. Ultima Thule

[Instrumental]

2. Return To The Morbid Reich

Decades went by as the crusades marched on

Huge army blessed by sanctuary in black

Guardians of Empire, our Morbid Reich

Sky touching castles, dark palaces where Evil never dies

[lead Spider]

[lead Peter]

We march again to wipe out the unpure

All light is threatened by the dark flags

Smashed by the might

Ruined and splintered, the age of demise has arrived

[lead Peter]

[lead Spider]

Beyond this veil, veil of tears, we take all life forever

Pride and glory, lust and hate, it's all what we feel

Emerging from the Netherworld, into the light

Our shields all covered by warm virgin blood

Crows and vultures fly over heads

Foreshadowing the return to the Morbid Reich

Displaying foes heads on the spikes

We are coming back, coming home

3. The Black Eye

Flash blinding eyes, chariots descend

Dark gods coming back to the Earth

Through the black distant eye

Upon the blood-red skies

Their horned crowns glowing, crushing yell of death

Welcome back!!!

[Lead Spider]

Gates are opened, now winds take command

Human skulls under feet

"We came again to claim and reign"

Eyes full of hate, their hands holding fire

Mighty power strikes, thunder lash

[Lead Spider]

[Lead Peter]

[Lead Spider]

Black demon's eye, a portal to the death

Messenger of genocide

The gods are spreading their wings, cover up the skies

Striking in revenge, the beast is out of Hell

[Lead Spider]

Dark, pride majesty marching in

The world of life is kneeling down humbly

The end or new beginning, life or death

The chosen ones awakened, raising to the stars

[Lead Spider]

Portal is opened, once again

Shadows move, the night is falling down so fast

Blast of fire, never ends

Black eye is calling, into the abyss...

Flash blinding eyes, chariots ascend

The gods rising up to the stars

Through the black distant eye upon the dark skies

Their horned crowns glowing, fading yell in the air

[Lead Peter]

[Lead Spider]

4. Come And See My Sacrifice

Do you see the hill on the horizon

Ahead dark shapes, moving shadows on the burning skies

Just follow whispers, hear the distant moans

Come and see a sadistic show tonight

The arena is yet open to the public

Screaming crowd pushing up to the front

Last flash of the dying sun

Here I am! My suffering has just begun...

Come and see.

My skin like a soil for the maggots

Wounds open keep spiting with the blood

Piercing metal ripping bones deep inside

Boiling eyes and hunger for pain divine...

Arms pinned and spread on the wood

Sweat, blood dripping on my chest

Teeth biting the air

Thorns touching my brain and my soul

Lady Death is about to arrive

My pain overpowers all life

I cry but my voice has decreased

Welcome to my show!!!

[Lead Spider]

[Lead Peter]

Nails burn and disrupt my skin

Spear touches my heart with its cold

Applause rises suddenly

Now it's time to die...

The soil is soaked by my blood

Lady Death gave a kiss for goodnight,

No pain nor light anymore

Dignity just died tonight

[Lead Peter]

[Lead Spider]

5. Only Hell Knows

Once upon the time

The Gods need a change

Dethrone or destroy

Just to kill the silence

Above or below

By fire or by Sword

So human feelings

Like hate or disgrace

Why a need to kill, to fight, burn, enslave

Why a need to die...

Only hell knows

Banners flutter proud

The armour is ready

No forgiveness, no mercy

Go now and kill them all!!!

Once upon the time

The Gods go to war

Punish or revenge

Just to show the power

Above or below

By fire or by sword

Obscure feelings

Like faith or treason

Why a need to crush, to grind or disembowel

Why a need to rape, to crucify

Why a need to raise, to fly, dictate and rule

Why a need to fall

Only hell knows

6. I Am Who Feasts Upon Your Soul

I am who listens to the wishes and prayers

Every time as you kneel by my feet

I am the oppressing whisper in your head

In time when desire controls and commands

My piercing eyes never fall asleep

I smile to the tears going down your cheek

My cold touch is what you fear in the night

My breath is the path to the gate of your Hell

My power may steal your voice from a throat

I am the low in this world of sin

Unknown, untouched

"I am the God in my domain"

7. Don't Rip The Beast's Heart Out

I hold the light

Forever cherishing in darkness

I was touching stars

Giving them gleam and might

And I was betrayed

Angels sent by the greed of the God

Impaled all my love and faith

My proud wings now burned and shattered

Acid tears in my eyes

But Lord in his lust

Just opened my chest

With smile on his face

Took my bleeding heart out

I cried

I raised Hell

By fire and death

My grief turned to wrath

No empathy, no sympathy

Now beast is free

Killing, destroying

Out of all control

Punishing this damned world

I see red

"To feel" means "to kill"

All tears on my face

Just dried up forever

Blinded by anger or poisoned by greed

Remember my words

Never rip the beast's heart out

Never

Never

8. I Had A Dream…

I had a dream

And I was travelling far among the stars

Worlds behind the gate

Where the night is a shield against the light

I had a dream

Land inhabited by the creatures

Killing, destroying, enslaving themselves

I clad my wings

I descended with fire and death

Bringing them fear and pain

Turning their land into my domain

I came spreading disease

I was detaching their flesh from their bones

I killed those who demur

And I was eating their young

I was building thrones and the cities full of filth and disgrace

I designated, precipitated and punished by taking the mind

With the head

I had a dream

Temples, priests, sacrifice

Blood and fire is all what they trust

I gave them the knowledge

Seal by the light of the stars above

Now fever is over

Pain in my eyes

But I remember that night

As I was the God

9. Lord Of Thorns

Somewhere, nowhere

A man became a God

Spreading words and lines

Washing brains of sick believers

Visions scratched in a book

Indoctrination, mind castration

Rules of pain and suffer

False love with no regret

Lord of thorns

Flesh, blood and pain

Pathetic incarnation of human shame and slavery

The dead stretched on the wood

Infecting groans and tears

Promise of a dead-land

Lies that burn all hope now

"I send my pain among you all

Now feel the thorns in your souls

I meet you all in promised land

Just leave your flesh and bones"

Mortal burden like disease

Roots in hearts with the lies

Blinded crowd with no volition

Highway to the grave

Lord of thorns

A cult of the dead

Master of illusions

A path to the dead end

Lord of thorns

Flesh, blood and pain

Lord of thorns

Your slavery and shame

10. Decapitated Saints

Black rotting blood invades my ailing flesh,

Destroys and burns me down alive,

Ulcerated lips stinking of death,

Excommunicated creators of mine,

Blasphemous words and eyes that bleed,

In horrible never ending torments,

Waiting for hell my dead body looks ahead,

That will be soon the end.

Prepare you to die,

That comes unexpectedly,

Ask nobody "Why?",

It's just an inevitable thing.

Still existing mind being in deadly fear,

Soon will be only heap of musty rot,

Tongue, heart and all my guts shall be digested by the necrophagic grubs.

No hope I must die and turn to ashen dust,

My soul will fly away to realms of dead,

Absurd resistance, I feel, Darkness takes my soul,

I'm only, after all, the slave of hell.

Raise from this grave,

Is fear in your eyes?

You have to leave your flesh,

Still wait for you - decapitated saints.

I've died to live in everlasting world,

Where reigns death and holy law of hate,

Omnipotent lords feeding the groans,

Of turn souls imploring for mercy,

I'm, in the place, where sin is all around,

And blood flows from every clipped head,

A billion dirty souls decay in ones own blood,

Awaiting beneficial touch of force, that let 'em die!

I'm raising up above eternal mists,

Heavens lie at feet of mine,

Wandering the sky I see transformed Christ,

Whose head I'm holding in my hand.

Is it possible the heaven is the hell?

Perhaps it's my own terrible dream,

Clipped sacred heads seem to say to me,

"That's true, the sky has turned to fire!"

11. They Are Coming…

[Instrumental]

12. Black Velvet And Skulls Of Steel

Our troops are ready to plunder and burn

Lightning strikes on command

Mark of death on the shining steel

We proudly hold the black banners high

Marching through the enemy's land

We sing the Devil's song

Always ready to lead and to die

We smile as the war reigns

And never kneel when the death is close

We proudly hold the black banners high

Marching through the enemy's land

We sing the Devil's song

Who else can trust so much the commanding Gods

To sacrifice life, soul and the world

Now war is lost, our tombs are cursed

Please, pray for us in Hell

13. Troops Of Tomorrow

[The Exploited cover]

Troops of tomorrow

Troops of tomorrow

We're troops of tomorrow

We're hanging round today

We're playing tough music

Cos it's hard time money

We need a new solution

We want it quick

We're getting frustrated

It's making us sick

We ain't got bright future

We bought it on the never never

Don't want to be city prisoners

We ain't gonna live forever

We gotta stop that dreaming

We've gotta pick up that gun

We're troops of tomorrow

We've got a new vision

14. Raping The Earth

[Extreme Noise Terror cover]

"Man" is superior,

"Man" has the might

He's under the impression he has the right

To take the earth and do as he will

And leave nothing but a deformed hell

Raping the earth and we don't seem to care

Soon there will be no life left here

With such stupidity we are raping the earth

It's been on the decline since man's birth

The harmony of nature is being upturned

Compassion not destruction must be learned

Raping the earth
