CARNAL AGONY LYRICS

1. War Prayer

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

Thunder thy clarion and lightning thy sword
Guide our noble sons in their work
In hour of peril give them true aim
Bear them in your hand through the fight

Bless our arms; grant us victory, O Lord
And God, Father,
Protect our land and our flag

Total genocide
Through you justified

This is a prayer never told
(Kill ‘em all)
Let us cleanse this world by fire
Can you hear our call to arms?
(Heed the call)
Water their way with their tears

Cover their fields with their patriot dead
Torn to bloody shreds with our shells
Let foes be smitten, drive them insane
Make their widows cry out in grief

Orphan their children, lay waste to their homes
Make them roam their desolate land
Broken in spirit, worn in travail
Deny them refuge of the grave

Bless our arms; grant us victory, O Lord
And God, Father,
Protect our land and our flag

Total genocide
Through you justified

This is a prayer never told
(Kill ‘em all)
Let us cleanse this world by fire
Can you hear our call to arms?
(Heed the call)
Stain the white snow with their blood

Shrieks of the wounded writhing in pain
Blissful is the sound of their pleads
In honor and glory we maim and we rape
Our soldiers are the pride of our hearts

[Solo: Mathias/PO]

Bless our arms; grant us victory, O Lord
And God, Father,
Protect our land and our flag

Total genocide
Through you justified

This is a prayer never told
(Kill ‘em all)
Let us cleanse this world by fire
Can you hear our call to arms?
(Heed the call)
In the name of our God

2. The Frozen Throne

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

Paladin of the silver hand
Proud defender of this hallowed land
Alliance force under my command
I’m the Crown Prince of our kingdom

Troubling news comes from distant shores
Burning legion is alive once more
Set the sails and prepare for war
For the glory of our nation

A strange plague is spreading across the domain
The scourge of the undead is rising again

I will be king of honor, hope and glory
Bringer of justice to these sacred plains
I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland
End reign of chaos with an aura of light

Steel meets steel on the battlefield
Hell-forged swords hammer at my shield
I’d rather die than submit or yield
To the forces of destruction

Suddenly from beyond the graves
Dead awakes as infernal slaves
All infected must stand ablaze
In the flames of holy fire

Father, forgive me for what I must do
Would you do the same if you knew what I knew?

I will be king of honor, hope and glory
Bringer of justice to these sacred plains
I would gladly bear any curse to save my homeland
End reign of chaos with an aura of light

But now I see what I have done
To those I had to shelter
I feel their pain inside my mind
I need to flee the fire that burns
Within so unforgiving
I have to choose the evil side

I see virtue in madness
I am heir to the throne
I need to live forever
Father, die by my hand

[Solo: PO/Mathias]

Into fiery hell I ride

[Solo: PO]

Frostmourne finally by my side

[Solo: Mathias]

I am the king of fury, scorn and vengeance
Bringer of torture to these barren lands
A new order is rising from the empires ashes
Bow to the dark lord or face death where you stand
I am the king of fury, scorn and vengeance
Bringer of torture to these barren lands
It is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven
Now I have finally found my home on the frozen throne

3. Rebel's Lament

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

Once I was brighter than the sun amidst the stars
The envy of angels, the proudest of them all
Banished from your kingdom I have fallen from grace
In Tartarus fettered with adamantine chains

Shrouded in dark flames I plot for revenge
Embracing all evil, immortal is my hate
Sheltered from your vision my counsel convenes
Our fierce spirits fiercer with perpetual despair

I will walk through fire and regain my place
Overthrow your towers armed with fury from Hell
Open war’s my sentence; I shall end your days
I am roaring as I tear you apart

No reconcilement where wounds of hate’s pierced deep
Beleaguer the heavens, set fire to the light
Innocence once lost cannot ever be regained
Let the firmament crimson with warm celestial blood

I will walk through fire and regain my place
Overthrow your towers armed with fury from Hell
Open war’s my sentence; I shall end your days
I am roaring as I tear you apart

[Solo: Mathias]

I will walk through fire and regain my place
Overthrow your towers armed with fury from Hell
Open war’s my sentence; I shall end your days
I am roaring as I tear you apart

4. Rebellion

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

On this dusky winters night
We are gathered here to fight
End deceit and end all lies
As God's creation finally dies

Born as equals, dying free
Never bending supple knee
Liberty must be deserved
Though most through sloth had rather serve

Serving no Tyrant
Means “Do What Thou Wilt”
Defenders of Freedom
Must kill without guilt

Brothers of the Damned
United here we stand
Raise your swords up high
Together we will die
In our rebellion

Sworn allegiance to no one
Now that you've enthroned your son
In black hearts deep malice grows
All hell breaks loose this final show

Shoulder to shoulder
There's no turning back
Soldiers of Satan
Prepare for attack

Brothers of the Damned
United here we stand
Raise your swords up high
Together we will die
In our rebellion

[Solo: Mathias]

Brothers of the Damned
United here we stand
Raise your swords up high
Together we will die
In our rebellion

Embrace your fate as death draws near
Without hope there is no fear
[Break your chains and follow me]
The price of freedom isn't free

5. Carnal Agony

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

You lie awake plagued by memories of pain
Pray to your god that we won’t find you again
Your fragile minds on the edge of despair
For what is coming you cannot prepare

We are the ghosts that you fear
We are the bringers of death

Nocturnal shadows in the darkness appear
The dawn of justice, your ending is near
You cry our name as you beg for your lives
Vengeance delivered by the blade of our knives

We are the ghosts that you fear
We are the bringers of death

[Solo: Mathias]

We are the ghosts that you fear
We are the bringers of death

6. Night Of The Werewolf

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

When darkness falls, can you hear the howling
The wolfs bane blooms, the autumn moon is calling my name

My DNA
Leading me astray
Tonight you’ll be my prey

Full moon, bewitched by the light
Werewolves are hunting tonight
Try to remember these words as you die
Things will get better ‘cause dead girls don’t cry

This lunar spell awakes unholy hunger
The scent of flesh enhanced by the blood in your veins

Such a sweet bouquet
A human filet
On my midnight buffet

Full moon, bewitched by the light
Werewolves are hunting tonight
Try to remember these words as you die
Things will get better ‘cause dead girls don’t cry

A nocturnal feast
For this savage beast

[Solo: PO]

You scream out loud the second time this evening
In my own hell breeding is just foreplay to feed

It’s a morbid fate
You came for a date
Now you are on my plate

Full moon, bewitched by the light
Werewolves are hunting tonight
Try to remember these words as you die
Things will get better ‘cause dead girls don’t cry

Full moon, bewitched by the light
(Bless the day I first was bitten)
Werewolves are hunting tonight
(Now I’ll pass the gift to you)
Try to remember these words as you die
(Turn your madness into rapture)
Things will get better ‘cause dead girls don’t cry

7. Fire Walk With Me

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Robert Hedlund/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

Faster and faster she’s tumbling through space
Numbed and oblivious but shortly she’s ablaze
Trapped in a nightmare, a predator’s prey
No angels to help her, they’ve all gone away

“Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance out between two worlds
Fire walk with me”

Once vibrant and playful she lies there undressed
Her body a vessel for a father who’s possessed
The tears fuels his fire, since twelve she has cried
Oh how he wonders what she looks like inside

“Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance out between two worlds
Fire walk with me”

[Solo: Mathias/PO/Both/Mathias]

He entered her body but never her soul
Released by her death as his knife carves a hole
Wrapped into plastic there’s no one to tell
That her window has served as a portal to hell

“Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance out between two worlds
Fire walk with me”

You may think I’ve gone insane
I promise I will kill again
Caught within my bag of death
Fire walk with me

8. Sleep Waker

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

His withering body lies dying before me
A deep sigh escapes as the ending draws near
No time to waste, I must start mesmerizing
Death, my dear friend, will be cheated once more

The stroke of my hand is the key
The fate of this man lies with me
The power of Gods you will see
His soul I will never set free

Eyes turning inward and limbs turning rigid
The ritual is working, the signs are all there
No turning back now I know I’m forsaken
His breath ethereal as the sleep-waker speaks

“Asleep, yet awake, let me die”
The voice comes from somewhere inside
My stairway to heaven denied
Creation of God is defiled

“Put me to sleep
Or quick waken me”
What have I done
I’m in way to deep

[Solo: Mathias/Both]

“Put me to sleep
Or quick waken me”
What have I done
I’m in way to deep
Screaming in vain
His flesh melts away
All hope is lost
Like tears in the rain

9. Crystal Lake

[Music: Robert Hedlund/Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

Something moves within the night
That is not good and is not right
Unbridled rage and an urge to kill
A lethal force with your name on his bill

Damnation waits
At Crystal Lake
He’ll seal your fate
At Crystal Lake

For your lust you’ll pay his fee
The time has come for you to be
Eviscerated, slashed and charred
A twisted sculpture in his abattoir

Damnation waits
At Crystal Lake
He’ll seal your fate
At Crystal Lake

[Solo: PO/Mathias]

Damnation waits
At Crystal Lake
He’ll seal your fate
At Crystal Lake

10. Secrets Within The Shrine

[Music: Mathias Wallin/Carnal Agony, lyrics: Mathias Wallin]

In ancient writings a tale was told
About the secrets within the shrine
It told of treasures and endless might
Behind the portal it still resides

Dead but dreaming the serpent waits
Hear its calling

[Solo: PO]

Eloquent whispers with wicked tongues
From stranger aeons where death may die
Spread through dominions of mortal souls
Their prideful natures enticed by lies

Dead but dreaming the serpent waits
Hear its calling

Rise up from the deep

[Solo: Mathias]

From north men travelled to seek the truth
About the secrets within the shrine
All hope abandoned they entered hell
Beneath the surface they all shall die

From its slumber the serpent wakes
Hear its crawling

11. Together We're Lost

[Music: Håkan Almqvist/Bobby Ljunggren, lyrics: Erika Wagenius]
