ASPHYX LYRICS

1. Into The Timewastes

Dive into the timewastes
At the speed of light
Robot mercenaries
Elite for hire
Galactic warriors
Ancient as space
Serving and protecting
A weak organic race

Universal empires
Face the ultimate threat
Disturbance in order
Time meets death
Sensors activating
Defensive shields
Encountering chaos
Disorientating fields

Confusing past and future
The disappearing now
Lost in unknown dimensions
And returned somehow

Horizons of the present
Blinding as stellar core
A lonesome ship approaching
Unleash the soundless war

Hives of brooding plasma
Technology beyond
Cohorts of sentinels
Proton symbionts
Silent screaming engines
Systems overload
Switching heavy weapons
Onto genocide mode

Ultra-drastic measures
Melting titanium
Multiple holocaust
With nuke ammunition
Re-program protectors
Amongst starving drones
Objective stabilized
In the timewastes zone

2. Deathhammer

Decades ago, a time now long gone
Death metal had its pure form
So easy then amongst global friends
A bold scene never to conform
Changes set in, pollution begins
Despicable developments
The duty to return and make all traitors burn
On to your knees and repent

Deathhammer

Vocals so poor, like frogs in a moor
Guitars like clouds of fruit flies
Where's the bass sound, drums hat don't pound
Hear how our iron church cries
They don't give a fuck, just collecting bucks
Acting like statues on stage
Our final call to all those false
We summon thou bastards to rage

Deathhammer

Writing the pages, lasting for ages
Restore purity that once was
Deathhammer bloodstained, death will die again
This is our doctrine and cause
Chapters demanding, episodes ending
Delivering the death metal bill
The years of the leech, finished as we preach
If you won't face death we will

Deathhammer

3. Minefield

All await the signal
The dead of night
Regiments rise up
To storm before light

Out of the trenches
Run into the black
Anxious the many
That will never come back

Zig zagging soldiers
Bayonets on
Onward to victory
Before the dawn
Murderous crossfire
Bright shining flares
Machine guns mowing
Troops in despair

Crawling through barbed wire
Into no-man's land
Soil soaked in blood
The crying of men
Terror unveiling
In between the lines
They scream mutilated
Detonating mines

Trapped in this minefield
Invisible death
Desolate wasteland
Corpses without heads
Mounted leftovers
Bones splintered, they lie
Distant explosions
Herald how all die

4. Of Days When Blades Turned Blunt

According to this calender
Nine thermidor, year two
Age of the national razor
Humane mass-murdering tool

Executioner's grinning
As the axe comes down
Swift smooth separation
Off goes another crown

Thus kings and queens convicted
Like Marie-Antoinette
Her mug too in the basket
By pulling the lunette

Sentenced by thousands
Under "la grande terreur"
A dark tale of repression
And the beheadings that occurred

Pre-eminent symbol
For blood the masses roar
Indomitable justice
The crowd demanding more

Square of decapitations
Place de revolution
Where severed faces murmur
Of days when blades turned blunt

5. Der Landser

Ein Kind wird zum Soldaten,
zur Wehrpflicht nun verdammt,
getauft im Feuersturm,
wird es im Krieg zum Mann.

Er ist der Landser
unbesiegbarer Landser.

Gefechte, Schlacht um Schlacht,
in allen ungeschlagen,
nur ein eisernes Kreuz,
zeugt von seinen Taten.

Die Marschrichtung geändert:
Nach Osten! - In Feindgebiet
Knietief in Schnee und Eis,
der Vormarsch nun erliegt.
Der Führer lässt ihn frieren,
bitter schmeckt der Tod,
zweifelnd und ohne Hoffnung
entflieht er dieser Not!

Nach dem ersten Winter
stürmt er wieder voran,
ein gnadenloser Blitzangriff
auf unbekanntes Land.
Ohne eine Pause
ins höllische Kampfgeschehen,
das Stalingrad Inferno,
wird er es überleben?

Er ist der Landser
der erschöpfte Landser.

Von Generälen verheizt,
in Blut und Tod verreckt,
schmerzt ihn die Erkenntnis:
Ein Soldat ist nichts als Dreck.

Er ist der Landser
der verratene Landser.

Nur wenige kamen durch,
kehrten wieder heim
und in Mutters Umarmung
fängt auch der Landser an zu weinen...

[English translation:]

A boy becomes a soldier
Conscription calls him in
Soon baptism of fire
And thus his war begins

He is the Landser
The invincible Landser

In battle after battle
Not one of them was lost
For bravery decorated
His reward the Iron Cross

March direction changing
Eastward all now go
Deep inland penetrations
Then halted by the snow
His Führer leaves him freezing
Bitter taste of defeat
In doubt and desillusioned
The Landser must retreat

Enduring first winter
Once more he storms again
The Blitzmachine in motion
Through unknown barren land
No pausing in the advance
Enter the gates of hell
Stalingrad's Inferno
Will he live to tell?

He is the Landser
The exhausted Landser

His leaders commit treason
In pools of blood an pus
Comes to realization
To be nothing but dust

He is the Landser
The betrayed Landser

One of the few to breath through
Long journey home of fear
And in loving arms of mother
Flow finally the tears

6. Reign Of The Brute

global climate changes
damping permafrost
both world poles have vanished
icecaps forever lost
progressing mutation
forming a new race
improved evolution
altering earth's face

the gruesome breed is hatching
birth of perfection
pure terrific beauty
born for domination
logical natural fusion
of insect and reptile
equipped with intelligence
cruel, merciless and vile

billions rot in agony
in unbearable pain
mountains steam from roasted flesh
bones cover the plains
intensify the torment
terror absolute
as continents are drenched in blood
reign of the brute

8 ft. high tall termites
feast on human meat
rape the remnants of mankind
bearers of their seed
hear the last ones begging
with ripped out tongues they yield
broken impaled corpses
scattered on endless fields

7. The Flood

Neptune sends his servants of disaster
His trident commands the howling winds
Guides the hurricanes onto the lowlands
Striking hard on the southern province

Wild waves ramming on entire coastlines
The heavy storm comes in from the north west
Maximum velocity of nature
Elements seem to have coalesced

Levels exceeding
Continuing downpour
In combination of a tidal surge
Roaring and raving
Ravaging gates
Conditions persist to emerge
Signs of desperation
Out of the mainland
Vessels sending out their SOS
Wreckages sinking
Their fate was sealed
Impossible to aid them with success

Defenses breaking
Dikes crumbling down
No longer able to resist the force
Surprising havoc
Widening gaps
The conquesting flood shows no remorse
Villagers drowning
Life stock swept away
All communication broken down
Lost road connections
Buildings collapsed
Disappeared and overflown whole towns

Reconnoitering helicopters searching
Delivering supplies and bags of sand
Evacuating the dead and the living
As the sea withdraws from drained inland

8. We Doom You To Death

9. Vespa Crabro

Large eusocial vespidae
Impressive due to size
Member of aculeata
Consume and paralize
Dismembering captured victims
Removing limbs and heads
With powerful mandibles
Its prey thets torn to shred

Majestic creature
Carnivore
Hunt without failure
Predator

Let us observe this common man
In his beloved shed
Yet free of all suffering
And his forthcoming death
Annihilate one of their sort
Fatal the consequence
Pheromone raises the alarm
Triggering the defense

Dispersing mayhem
Avenging winds
Retaliation
Venomous stings

Poisonous needles
Synchronic attacks
Frenetic hundreds
Raging insects

Little swelling burning wounds
Of acetylcholine
Feel the excruciating pain
His body in decline
Dying slow and miserable
The swarm now comes to erst
Eliminated danger
Return to their nest

Poisonous needles
Avenging winds
Deadly hundreds
Venomous stings

10. As The Magma Mammoth Rises

Slumbering giant
In the safe embrace of mother earth
Warm nesting fetus
Till contractions introduce its birth
Awaiting dilation
Lens of millenia have past
Child of damnation
And devastation not to forecast
Denied malediction
Embedded kilometers down
Beneath the surface
About to rise from underground
Awakening sleeper
Escaping darkness and gloom
Emerging phoenix
Now behold the bringer of doom

Deep form the chamber
Comes an outburst
Of immense magnitude
Clear distant signal
Smoke columns reach high altitude
Broken the mantle

Under pressure great from within
Like a divine furnace
And the siege of the mammoth begins
Super volcano
Fire fountains on its colossal path
Out of the crater
Glowing fluid substances leak
Deafening thunder
Large trembling basalt plateau
Of epic proportions
Is the rack that follows the blow

Particles ignited
Burning fragments fly
Spewed out of the cauldron
Ejected in the sky

Enormous eruption
Vaporizing lakes
Massive streams of lava
Globe destroying quakes

Outpouring magma
Molten stone and dissolving gas
Solid suspended crystals
All covering layers of ash
Grand mega caldera
Last of all catastrophes
Explosions resulting
In climatic abnormalities
Rapid glaciation
Aerosols obscuring the sun
Deforestation
Dramatic snowfall goes on
Major crop failures
Starvation on a tremendous scale
In eternal winter
Mankind's survival will fail

11. Der Landser (German Version)

Ein Kind wird zum Soldaten,
zur Wehrpflicht nun verdammt,
getauft im Feuersturm,
wird es im Krieg zum Mann.

Er ist der Landser
unbesiegbarer Landser.

Gefechte, Schlacht um Schlacht,

der verratene Landser.

Nur wenige kamen durch,
kehrten wieder heim
und in Mutters Umarmung
fängt auch der Landser an zu weinen...

12. Death The Brutal Way [7" Version, 2008]

Crushing at the Party San, hear the hordes rejoice
Filth to feed the Vermin, 'n beer to oil the voice
We'll beat your eardrums useless, and tie you on the Rack
Bones and nerves are grind to pulp, we are fucking back
Again we set the standards, get the message clear
Leave the fucking stage bitch, no room for you here
Mercy won't be given, as we enter our domain
Endlessly you'll suffer, on the altar of pain

Merchants of brutality, death our only rule
The doctrine of true metal, gods of the old school
Die by fucking Asphyx, ultra loud we slay
Skinned alive you humbly beg for death the brutal way!

Pouring molten mayhem, controllers of the saw
A liquid iron overdose, we'll have it fucking raw
Never shown respect for ya, spitting on your age
Turn the spotlights on, unleash the monsters from their cage
Feel the trembling earth, eating away your dignity
Watch the blood pour out as you lose virginity
We don't need no make-up, slugs from armored stacks
Honest to the core as we make you bastards crack

Merchants of brutality, death our only rule
The doctrine of true metal, gods of the old school
Die by fucking Asphyx, ultra loud we slay
Skinned alive you humbly beg for death the brutal way!

Hitting pandemonium, bring the sacrifice
Swallowing this dish of steel, diving in dry ice
Razorblades cut through your skull, painful as the pox
We'll break the fucking speed of light, the afterlife will shock
Order will be chaos, the watcher now will see
Born for immortality, eternity will scream
Pouring molten mayhem, controllers of the saw
A liquid iron overdose, we'll have it fucking raw

Merchants of brutality, death our only rule
The doctrine of true metal, gods of the old school
Die by fucking Asphyx, ultra loud we slay
Skinned alive you humbly beg for death the brutal way!

13. Os Abysmi Vel Daath [7" 2008]

[originally by Celtic Frost]

A pallid sun sheds dimmest glow
On mute and pallid soil
I am the one, a life long gone
A refuge raped in search of life
Like a shadow on this earth
In embraces pale as human flesh
I am unborn, and I'm undone
How much of me is lost

I deny my own desire
I deny my own desire
Lying one among the liars
I deny my own desire

Dark in darkness I can see
Nothingness is blinding me
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abysmi

I'm drowning in this sea
For those I loved I hurt
So you taketh from me
My name untold and numb

I deny my own desire
I deny my own desire
Lying one among the liars
I deny my own desire

Where I am there is no thing
No God, no me, no in between
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abyss

I deny my own desire
I deny my own desire
Lying one among the liars
I deny my own desire

Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abyss

Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abysmi
Os abyss
