DEATHCHAIN LYRICS

1. Deathammer

[Lyrics: Bobby]

The world was young on a Walpurgis Night
The moon was full and bright
All the witches danced, united for a chant
Creating an evil spell
Possessed by orders, driven by demons
Malice and sins combined
Sky turned red as the blood was shed
For the Horned One

Made from the spear that once impaled the one on cross
Forged in the pits of Hell, baptised in blood and sin
Sealed with the serpents awaiting the fall of man
Deathammer strikes with fire and the heaven shall burn

Fallen in a trance, invocations said
Facing the western sky
Four princes they call, four elements they need
To feed the forges of Hell

Choir of fallen angels sing and dance around Baphomet
Around the burning crosses they joined for ritual
They drink from black cauldron to answer their master's call
Goblets filled with blood of infants, feast for Azazel

Made from the spear that once impaled the one on cross
Forged in the pits of Hell, baptised in blood and sin
Sealed with the serpents awaiting the fall of man
Deathammer strikes with fire and the heaven shall burn

Blacksmiths of Hell forging the hammer of death
Dark arts they use to bind the spirits
All holy shall vanish in the dawn of evil
Fire winged demons will bring the darkest flame

From the north came the earth
From the south the fire
From the east arrived the air
From the west the water
Now they have all they need
Black wisdom and secret of steel

Religions will burn like the witches of old
Hypocrites and idols cremated to ashes
Foundations of earth crushed to pieces
Deathammer turns the world into burning pile

They drink from black cauldron to answer their master's call
Goblets filled with blood of infants, feast for Azazel
Feast for Azazel...

All saints turned to sinners, all angels demonised
All virtues turned to sins, all faiths blasphemed

Made from the spear that once impaled the one on cross
Forged in the pits of Hell, baptised in blood and sin
Sealed with the serpents awaiting the fall of man
Deathammer strikes with fire and the heaven shall burn

And the heaven shall burn

2. Hour Of The Exorcist

[Lyrics: Khaos, Bobby]

Sacrificed!
The priest is lost
He got demonised
As the air got stale and cold

One candle is the only light
Just crumbled notes and a chain with crucifix

By reading the notes it got clearer
The priest has gone much deeper

"I have no choice but to give in
I feel the horns surrounding me"

"Futile light
God will you come and save me?
Holy light
Come cleanse me!"

The written word betrayed me - in the hour of the exorcist
My only god couldn't save me - in the hour of the exorcist
This holy doctrine failed me - in the hour of the exorcist
The unruly black did take me - in the hour of the exorcist

This victim of black possession
He did not end this session

All the notes
Were filled with fear and anger
All against
His beloved saviour
It became more violent towards the end
Like the ramblings of a madman

"I'm trying to heal the possessed
With my holy rites
But the demon is too strong
It's driving me insane
Oh, father
I feel the shadows closing in
The burden is crushing me
I can not take it any more
All this lunatic blasphemy"

"As I look into the mirror
I see a pale reflection"

The site had traces of struggling
Blood stains and water mixed with vomit
The walls had many cracks showing in them
The floor had been licked by the flames

The written word betrayed me - in the hour of the exorcist
My only god couldn't save me - in the hour of the exorcist
This holy doctrine failed me - in the hour of the exorcist
The unruly black did take me - in the hour of the exorcist

"I see a pathway opening
The walls are shaking, trembling
Bright light is deceiving
It unleashed the hell within me"

"The horrors shown unto me
I bow down in defeat..."

The truth remains a mystery
How they vanished from this room

3. Pit Of The Possessed

[Lyrics: Corpse, Khaos]

What dreams may come
Of the paradise lost
What dreams may come
Of the endless beyond

I'm truly lost
In this land of formless rebel king
And forever lost
Far beyond your worthless trinity

Without a sound they speak to me
Without a voice subconsciously

Eerie blackness devouring all in its path
Endless echoes
Laughter of the demon king
Face of the unknown
Seeks for deliverance
Pit of the possessed
Place of many deaths

Enslaved black earth
Burning fires of Gehenna

They're bound to this pit forever
Obsessed by the evil within
Loathing this being called man
Invoking the ancient dead

I sought Hell for answers
I called out to god
If this to be the truth
I'll accept my reward

What dreams may come
Of the paradise lost
What dreams may come
Of the endless beyond

Black blood runs through their veins
It's keeping the abyss alive
Lost souls feed this power
That is ruled by total control

Now I see the black earth growing
Now revealed for all men
Tempting them to open up the gates
And to enter this world of suffering

I sought Hell for answers
I called out to god
If this to be the truth
I'll accept my reward

They're bound to this pit forever
Obsessed by the evil within
Loathing this being called man
Invoking the ancient dead

Without a sound they speak to me

4. Serpent Of The Deep

[Lyrics: Corpse]

[Inspired by the tales of Necronomicon]

Baad Angarru

Arise - horned serpent of the deep
Awake - Great spirit of the deep

Serpent of the deep - serpent of the deep
Serpent of the deep - awake from eternal sleep
Serpent of the deep - Ninngizhidda
Open the gate for me

You who dwell in Cutha, thee I invoke
In the name of Enki, now arise

Serpent of the deep - serpent of the deep
Serpent of the deep - awake from eternal sleep
Serpent of the deep - Ninngizhidda
Open the gate for me

The watcher stood fast
And spoke unto me
Queen of heavens
This is the land of Cutha
The land of no return
The dreaded black earth
Queen of heavens
This is the realm of Absu

For you have entered the gates of Ganzir
Through the seven steps
Down to the frightful pit

Oh great gatekeeper
Let me pass to the lands of Kur
Open the gate! lest I cause the dead to rise
Lest I attack the door
Lest I break apart its bars
Open the gate! or the dead
Shall devour the living

Serpent of the deep - serpent of the deep
Serpent of the deep - servant of Ereshkigal
Serpent of the deep - Ninngizhidda
Open the gate for me

Now hear me mistress, queen among the gods
I will announce thee, before the queen of death

Ereshkigal, thy sister stands before the gate
Daughter of sin, she awaits
Go watcher of the gate, open the door for Ishtar
And treat her as it is written
In the ancient covenant

Ninngizhidda lost the bolt from the hatch
And darkness fell upon the Ishtar
Dark waters rose and carried the goddess of light
Onwards to the kingdom of night

And the serpent spoke: enter...
And Ishtar entered

Before the land of Kur
Before the Cutha depths
She lost her talismans
Severed from the upper worlds
Before the queen of death
She lost her seven powers
'Cause it is the covenant of old
Set before time

The gatekeeper removed the seven jewels
The jeweled robes of Ishtar he took away

Serpent of the deep - serpent of the deep
Serpent of the deep - bows before Ereshkigal
Serpent of the deep - Ninngizhidda
Open the gate for me

Now she dwells in Cutha without food of light
Bound in darkness in the sea below the seas

Against her eyes - demons of the eyes
Against her heart - demons of the heart
Against her head - demons of the head
Against entire body - demons of Kur

5. In The Crypt Of Vengeance

[Lyrics: Corpse, Khaos]

In my dreams of the black
I'm dwelling within
The place beyond my memories
It's haunting me

As I'm walking down the steps made of stone I remember
The curse I was once set out to cast from below
I know the doctrines of left hand path - those secrets
I felt the presence of the ancient one cast in stone

I know I've stood here before
As I sought the guidance from the dead
I bow before the altar
Inside this circle of sin

In the crypt of vengeance
Memories reborn
In the crypt of vengeance

The king of reprisal stands before me ten feet tall
He once ruled from the throne of chaos with deadly mass
He led the armies of the vengeful dead through magic black
But the highest law did bind him down to the crypts below

From beyond the stoned skin
Unleash the vengeful dead
Open the sarcophagus
I know there lies a king

Rise from the crypt

This place was drowned in black
Forever hidden from mankind's eyes
Its wrath was choked by the blood spilled
Entangled by the powers of the lost

This king refused to bow down before any gods
But Hell's immense wrath... it can't be fought

Now my world is drowning in blackness
As the Hellish Ones are approaching
Beyond life's gates they're lurking
Waiting to grab a hold of this world

This place was drowned in black
Forever hidden from mankind's eyes
Its wrath was choked by the blood spilled
Entangled by the powers of the lost

As I start to question my sanity visions come clear
I shall embrace this lunacy - remain here
When all is lost inside this dream I am reborn
But awoken from its grip I feel I've lost it all

In the crypt of vengeance
Memories reborn
In the crypt of vengeance
Memories reborn...

6. Witchstorm

[Lyrics: Khaos, Corpse]

One single sweep across this earth
A hellish brush of vengeful inferno

Spitting forth blasphemy
Killing your inbred god
The coming witchstorm
Thy kingdom gone

So came the arrival, burning
Ages of denial, the past tragedies
Misery, chosen to burn for witchery

They suffered for nothing
A sacrifice for your god
In the flames they were twitching
A twisted sight to see
The haunting memories
Kept the hate alive
And awoke the spirits dead
From the ashes were they laid

The sinful will gather in masses
Ancient horror, ancient fears
Cold as graves, cold as stones
Ungodly hour brought the fear
This hellish flame will cleanse the earth

Victims of no known truth
They suffered endlessly

This is the rise of reason
This is your punishment
This is the fall of man
The cursed ones' inheritance

The sinful will gather in masses
Ancient horror, ancient fears
Cold as graves, cold as stones
Ungodly hour brought the fear

Accused by hypocrites
This is where your holy cross fits

So came the arrival, burning
Ages of denial, the past tragedies
Misery, chosen to burn for witchery

The crushing revenge kept them all alive
Waiting deep in the dark
Time for them to arrive

So came the end
From down below
Never forgotten
The coming witchstorm
The past comes alive
No more persecution
Only deathlike silence
Before the witchstorm

These dark saints give no protection
And these vicious angels shall
Guide them the wrong way
Total black and utter chaos
Your heaven's gone, you righteous ones

The sinful will gather in masses
Ancient horror, ancient fears
Cold as graves, cold as stones
Ungodly hour brought the fear
This hellish flame will cleanse the earth

So came the arrival, burning
Ages of denial, the past tragedies
Misery, chosen to burn for witchery

7. Necrophiliac Lust

[Lyrics: Khaos]

I desire for the dead
For the cold body blue
A love for the rotten youth
Inside the grave lies my truth
This growing sickness takes me beyond

I'm lost in my carnal ways
Dead call pounds my head
The Hell I've built around me
(I have) no wish to remain sane

My desire takes me there
Under nightly moon
My love for the rotten youth
My soul dwells in sickness
The dead force me to carry on

It haunts me, their calling, it burns me - necrophiliac lust
It haunts me, dead calling, it burns me - psychopathic lust
It burns me - necrophiliac lust
Dead calling - psychopathic lust

Now bleed for me whores
Bleed for the death and life
I'm losing my soul
This very night - I've become whole
Bleed for me whores
Bleed as only you can
I'm losing my soul
This very night - I've become whole

I see a mirage amongst the tombstones
My lust for the dead can't be controlled
Their bodies await me, this I know
A hellish fiend amidst the stones

I'm hacking through the coffin wood
These whores can't reject me
Hallucinations - I'm painting their horror
Their flesh is my canvas

The dead whisper my name
With lust and perversions
A cold grip of the shovel
Takes me much closer
To you...

I desire for the dead
In the light of the moon
A love for the rotten youth
Inside this Hell I feel like god
This growing sickness takes me beyond

So now my visits last longer
I lay among their flesh and bones
I love the stench, I love the smell
I'm hacking through the coffin wood

The urge burns my soul
Necrophiliac lust

8. Cult Of Death

[Lyrics: Corpse]

We stand before thee
The ancient god of death
And we kneel before the pit
The path to your kingdom come

Cast away by the shadows
Now you rule in the deep
True king of the void
Come make us clean

Before the dawn of men
Inside these temple walls
Unholy oaths were sworn
Among the chosen ones
To be held in secrecy
To be held in silence
Until the day would come
For him to arrive

Gathering at the circle
The ritual is soon complete

Eerie rumbling can be heard
It's coming from the world between
Whispering with the unpure tongue
Spoken only by this god

Stronger than the starless aeons
Stronger than the weight of time

We are the cult of death - we keep the flames alive
We are the cult of death - the children of the scorn

Consuming dark begins to grow
The hour of coming approaches
The ceremony has proceeded
Everflowing stream has opened

We are the cult of death - we keep the flames alive
We are the cult of death - the children of the scorn

Stench of death closing in
He is coming from the deepest depths

Come and seek your might
From the face of this earth

Destroyer - conqueror - legion - tyrant

This wait is soon to be over
As the walls are breeding doom
Thy mighty force of evil
Repulsive yet so pure

As we see them, horns arising
All is covered in black blood
Three heads, three mouths for blaspheming
Bears this one true king

Destroyer - conqueror - legion - tyrant

Our hearts are filled with pride
He is greater than we thought
Strong as the mountainside
Strong as the stormiest sea
