1. Allegiance

[By L Skov]

[Instrumental]

2. Unlimited Chaos

[By L Skov, T. Nefer, B. Drastrup]

Chaos in a world of shattered souls and
False believes encouraging a fading hope
Keep the world in a suffocating grasp
Incompetent humanity - a mindless mass
Take your life and die but you cannot escape
Death is always the answer to your prayers
No matter what the question might be
Despair is a feeling you share
With all those who too care
Resulting in: deadly and bleeding nightmares
I feel no hope. I hear no prayers
Has god forsaken this world?
Why are we here? when does this end?
An empty future, is this worth still fighting for?

Out - running in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out killing on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out - bombing from the skies
A thousand more will die
You take so many lives
Now its time to stand and fight
Now the war is a beginning to the end
Thoughtless, self destruction
If you worship your gods and do as they command
Then nothing is left to be
Shoot to kill or shoot to live
It does not matter now 'cause
Death is stalking - hell is calling
The terror in your eyes defines your life
Out - running in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out killing on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out - bombing from the skies
A thousand more will die
You take so many lives
Now it's time to stand and fight
Order from chaos and shattered souls
Shot to die and left alone
Hordes of soldiers march to kill
No one cares about human will
You did nothing and stepped aside
You let the slaughter take place tonight
Why did you do this?
Where will you run to now?
I can't take this I cant take this any-
I can't take this. I can't take this anymore
Out - running in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out killing on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out - bombing from the skies
A thousand more will die
You take so many lives
Now its time to stand and fight
[X2]

3. Pestilence

[By L Skov, T Nefer]

In the night when the hordes come out
A whole new world is born from pain
Shredding light and destroying what's good
A graceful mist of pure darkness
Tearing the souls of greater men
These wicked creations stand proud
Leading the way for those who follow
A blackened star for children of evil
It doesn't matter if we stand alone
It doesn't matter if we die
Still we will reign in terror and fear
Just as long as you keep us in your mind
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence in your head
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence takes control now
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence designed to kill
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence bringing worldwide death
Shining in the dark and always victorious
Living in the shadows though we are glorious
We do not exist and yet we are here
We do not exist and still we are feared
Exterminate - wherever you go
Exterminate - we're coming for you
Exterminate - prepare for attack
Exterminate - no turning back
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence in your head
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence takes control now
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence designed to kill
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence bringing worldwide death
Trapped in hell - now die
Death by terror - don't close your eyes
'cause the nightmares have just begun
Look into your deepest of thoughts
We will haunt you no matter what
When the hunt is over and its time to execute
You'll know that death has arrived
Stare into our eyes and take your life
Finally you decide to die
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence in your head
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence takes control now
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence designed to kill
Pestilence annihilation, pestilence bringing worldwide death
Were you supposed to die tonight? we don't know
Few days left and they would have let you go
Why did you take the choice you made?
I wonder if there could have been another way
Still remembered though you're gone and
In our hearts all the memories live on
Time won't change what we feel
Forever missed and nothing ever heals

4. Blood Culture

[By L Skov, T. Nefer]

It starts with the nature of the human race
As cryptic phantom symptoms
All dwelling in the thinnest veins but
Nothing can reveal the course for this pain
No biopsy or surgery will tell what lies inside of me
Vascular system infected by bacteria
Lymphatic system's overheating - WBCs are decreasing
Due to leucopenia caused by Zotepine
Rubor, Dolor, Calor, Tumor
Inflammation causing me to die
Inject the meds into my blood
Purify my inner thoughts
Running through my veins
Do it again I must
To cleanse my blood
Infected is my system; now a system of decay
Functio lesa, paralysis, toxic venom
Constant spreading through my veins
Central nervous system is shutting down
As my heart begins to fail I feel the pain of pinching nails
It's a needle penetrating the main artery
Delivering pure life in the form of penicillin
Now I'm healed, oh so healed
But it's only until it starts again

[CHORUS]
Now the fight is on to be
Hanging in there but
There seems to be no hope for me
All is gone -- nothing left
Except for one final crucial test
Please medicate my soul
Insanity is lurking and it's going to take control
Of a corpus oh so weak
Inject the meds into my blood stream
At last my system is recovering from
Severe intoxication and from decontaminating
Biological warfare is saving all of me
Though my mind is scarred for life
I am grateful I survived so now it's time
To leave this hospital for good
And to live the life I want
Not fearing what is in my blood
I want it all -- I don't care what it may cost
I want it all -- I won't waste this second chance I got

[CHORUS]

[Blood Culture:
A blood culture is done when a person has symptoms of a blood infection, also called bacteramiea,
Blood is drawn from the person one or more times and is tested in a laboratory to find and identify any microorganism present and growing in the blood,
If a microorganism is found, more testing is done to determine the antibiotics that will be effective in treating the infection.]

5. Night's Destruction

[by L. Skov, T. Refer]

born from pain and fire
Direct descend of hell
Born from pain and fire
Where the flames are burning well
Follow the misery
Kill all - leave none to be
Reign now; control the land
Justice by your hand
Only the dead have seen the end of war
Roam throughout the land
Lead by the darkest of commands: kill'em all
From the front line a massive roar fills blackened skies
Deploy your blood shredder and take some lives tonight
Believe us to be heroes
In a war so meaningless
Terror knows no glory
Stop and do not pretend
All of our lives we search
And by death of others we know?
This pitiful life is cursed
To the blackest of ends I must go
Only the dead have seen the end of war
Roam throughout the land
Lead by the darkest of commands: kill'em all
From the front line a massive roar fills blackened skies
Deploy your blood shredder and take some lives tonight
Fighting all the wars all alone and on your own
Serious mental illness waiting for you to get home
All the damage you haven't done; waiting for the kill
Lurking in the kindergarten
Shooting at everyone, firing at will
Night's destruction

6. Oblivion

[By M. Drastrup]

[Instrumental]

7. Shades Of Black

[By L. Skov]

"We dedicate this tune to everyone who has lost someone they held dear"

And I have lived a thousand years and
Only seen life disappear from this world
As the sun it brightly rose
I walked across the entire globe
Saw all the scars from the human claws
These open wounds will never be gone
And at night I was embraced by light
Feeling the stars strength and might
Coming from above in this cold forsaken world
I turned to god and yelled in my deepest despair
Why am I here if I'm only meant to share your pain
My love is not gone but the life I live will never be the same
From a sombre sleep awake a fire in my eyes is lit
Awaken in the darkest night
A freezing sky - a warming light
I see my breath as I exhale
I see it all - I see so clear
But alone I lay on plains of ice
Hoping that I soon will die
My tears are my words to you that my heart can never say
You see those tears of mine are shades
Of black that never fade away - fade away
Shades of black as light in dark
Heal my mind and ease my heart
Semper fidelis - I will never forget
Reminding me of the life we once lived
Free my sorrow - free my soul
The rain is gone - you made me whole
The shades of black are here at night
With a glowing hope as the moons dim light
All shades of black illuminate my path and
Keep me safe as you guide me on my way
Now please bring me home
Now I stand a different man
I've lived and died but still I am
On my back in frost white grass
A second away from shadows of past
I've wandered the entire globe in a
Single thought I've gained new hope
Got through it all and now I live
My eternal love is forever missed
So shine a light and shine it strong
Shine a light for my day has come
All life is just borrowed and one day
We will have to give it back - give back

8. Trace Of Terror

[By L. Skov, T. Nefer]

Trace of terror - it is time
Trace of terror - left behind
Leave this world - on your own
Leave this world - never alone
The battlefield seems so far away
Nothing can stop you or block your way
Certain in your mind you rest your case
For the greater good and for the human race
Cold eyes reflects a life time of sadness
A life of despair from broken souls
Always remember the pain which you bear
Wherever you go I will follow you
Trace of terror - what is the course?
Trace of terror - is it yours?
Leave this world - you've got nothing left
Leave this world - leave their death
Do not obey the orders you take
Deny their rules and turn away
Your life is our own - remember this
Just walk the line - here's nothing you will miss

Shot down in cold blood - you tried to run away
You tried to prevent a tragedy
These revelations all came to you too late
The deed is now done - nothing can be changed
All is pitch black and my pain has gone away
Still I see clear as it was in the day
Embraced at night by the shadows of a tear
Hell awaits my life - I die without fear

9. Lost In Violence

[By L. Skov, T. Nefer]

Hellshock terror all across the front
Scared to death you run with your gun
The enemy is near as you take your aim
Shoot to kill so you don't die in vain
Cut till the day your second son's blown away
Where is your honour? where is your faith?
You've got your orders and you do what you must
Just continue forward and in freedom you must trust

Lost in violence - why am I
Lost in violence - ready to die
Forward over the graves I march without fear
The battle is on - I now see death clear
Trapped in the downfall of eternity's might
Believed in the shades of angels light
In these ruins of fallen thoughts my sleeping soul awakes
I now know what I should have done
And what I've could have changed
In my fight I've realized that I've already lost
I can only hope to get redemption by my god
Lost in violence- why am I
Lost in violence - ready to die
Run for your life
Darkness closing in
Satan screams behind
Winds of death
Destined to
Angels from above
Scarred true wings of pain
Salvation lies ahead
Grab their hands
Can't reach out
Destined to die
Will to live enforced by my strength to fight
Unlimited power to arise
I have only darkness and blood in mind
The only truth in the world is that violence guides
Light my path so I may lead the way
I will show the weak what we must change
True evil is indifference in good men
As I embrace their fears it all begins
I've searched the corners of
The world to find a reason why
But all I found was death and hate
How come I missed the light?
I stand by the deeds I've done
And prepare to live my life
My finest hour smiles at
Me as I drift into the night
Lost in violence - why am I
Lost in violence- - ready to die

10. Aggressive Attack

[By L. Skov, T. Nefer]

Fighting forever for human cruelty
Holocaust on battlefields is my specialty
I decide millions of fates
And in my trench hole certain death awaits
Now you march forward to die
Feel now the hatred come alive
Full metal jackets of death in the air
Piercing the helmets of privates with fear
Endless killing, endless death
Machine gun fire in the night
Fight to live
Fight to serve
Fight to win
Fight to die
Fight to feel
Fight to kill
Storming up in a frontal attack
The killing is on - there's no turning back
All I see is blitz in the night
The blasts of bombs and pain-filled cries
Running under an all-seeing eye
Lighting green and lighting in the skies

Time to shoot - kill
Endless killing, endless death
Machine gun fire in the night
Fight to live
Fight to serve
Fight to win
Fight to die
Fight to feel
Fight to kill
Ripped from life and tossed into a violent war of death
Every man for himself - shot you in the head
Nothing ever last and neither did your life
Prepare for total war as you step into the night
Blackest of night in your mind
Darkness fills your eyes tonight
Black knights of death
Are marching forward to take your life
Darkness descends
An everlasting war to terminate the saintly
Destruction of the world
From the heart of darkness
The ending of all life
