GOSPEL OF THE HORNS LYRICS

1. Desolation Descending

Whiplash comes easy
To the spineless and the weak
Envenom the foundations
Deceitful and false...
Blood shall be spilt

The morbid fascination to the chimes of the knell
Summoned by the charm of a soul that is blameless
Enriched monuments of descending virtues
To become embroiled succumbing to temptation

Whiplash comes easy
To the spineless and the weak
Envenom the foundations
Deceitful and false

Life or death... it's a flash of the blade, a duel of the sword
Life or death
Life or death... it's a flash of the blade
Life or death

2. Eve of the Conqueror

Before one enters the palace of courage
You must ask yourself � "Are you ready to die?"
Are you prepared to bleed, do you know what death tastes like
Have you gazed into the blood soaked corridors of immortality

This warrior is armed to the teeth
This warrior has life and death in the palm of his hands
And sips the wine of mistaken identity
And consumes the thought � "Is this my last stand?"

Harness the beast from within
The upper hand is ours
All things sacred to you I'll smite
The primal instinct to win

For man is never truly alive
Until he has felt paralysing fear wash over him in a ruthless tide
I'm guided by the power of the pentagram
My honour, my devotion, our union...

3. Time to Strike

I have this question for all of you
Will you smash through the shackles, our moment of truth?
Well I think it's now, now or never
To use the past, to forge ahead in the future

A new city shall be born
The merchants of vengeance have called
Dormant we are no more
Blood pools filled with emotions of those
Who suffer from their ignorant bliss
(Here I stand draped in black)

They may paint an enemy so barbaric
But no ground shall be lost
They may clench their fists
But expect no prisoners here

There are scores to be settled
Settled once and for all
An infinity of rage will invade their battered souls

Condemned and subjected
To our inquisition

We shall revel in the spoils of our conquest
The clan of the horned divine

4. Gospel of the Horns

The symposium of knowledge
Encompass this still night
Exhume the devil within you
Gospel of the horns... (from the abyss we have returned)

Reach inside your dark wandering soul
Follow the darkened path to your destiny
Wielding the fire brand with malice
In a bloody tide of crimson courage

The tide has swung for the audacious and brave
Never destructive to one's own interests
The hammer will fall strongly wielded with both hands
For an iron will is the will to succeed

The hammer, the hammer will fall
Splitting the boundaries of life and death as we know
Cause we're a force, a force to be reckoned with
A force, a force to be reckoned with...

5. Sinners

A pact forged in blood to the clan of horned divine
Our loyalty and trust has stood the ravages of time
Tales of woe have filtered across the sky
Tragedies are written across the fucking heavens

Deceived by all below and above
So understood but not expected
For the tales of woe have filtered across the sky
Tragedies are written across the heavens

Everywhere people feel pain at the hands of the celestial winter
Calligraphical skills cut like daggers tearing messages through their soul

A pact forged in blood to the clan of horned divine
Our loyalty and trust has stood the ravages of time
Tales of woe have filtered across the sky
Tragedies are written across the fucking heavens

Deceived by all below and above
So understood but not expected
For the tales of woe have filtered across the sky
Tragedies are written across the heavens

At the bridge you hear the silent, beckoning cry
Laden with remorseful, bloodsoaked tears
The roots of mistrust begin to climb
Leeching and corrupting man's mind

Rise up sinners, we are sinners!
