MARTYRIUM LYRICS

1. In The Light Of The Morning Star

Prince of the east
Personified perfection
Bringer of light
Angel beyond redemption

he who God defied
Will lead the armies to war
Against the pearly gates
The apocalypse shalt befall

Vengeance against the holy
For punished he was for pride
With sword of flaming thunder
All his scions he will guide

Lucifer! Be with us and guide our way!
Lucifer! In your name we will foray!

Lucifer! God from Heaven overthrown!
Lucifer! Rise up high and claim your throne!

Embraced by wisdom, branded with no scar
Born in the light of the morning star

Bearer of divine light
Grant us the supremacy
Holder of the astral sky
Instill in us the potency

Just like the graceful Phoenix
From ashes we'll be reborn
And the web of old false icons
Will be mangled and forever torn

Behold a new race
Under whom you shall kneel
Brought forth the light
We possess the Seventh Seal

All shall be blinded
By the Luciferian breed
We'll mock the Christian savior
On barren ground he'll crawl and bleed

Through the corpses of fallen seraphs
We shall inscribe our new creed
Branded angels under their new god
On their gashed wounds we'll spill our seed

Lucifer! Be with us and guide our way!
Lucifer! In your name we will foray!

Lucifer! God from Heaven overthrown!
Lucifer! Rise up high and claim your throne!

Embraced by wisdom, branded with no scar
Born in the light of the morning star

2. Temple Of The Unknown Knowledge

Arise! Come forth o spirits of the elements
Your names are being called, greet us as thy brothers
For we speak of vengeance and anger
For we are one with the secrets of our father

Blessed we shall be, the strong ones...
Our paths shalt be cleared by the weak
No entity will thwart the knowledge
That was given to us from the one whom we seek

Thus shall spread the world of Satan...

The horned one shall be glorified
The chalice for the purified
His name will be exalted and praised
Domine sathanas exaudi meam!
Domine sathanas rex infernum!

Let our voices smash the stillness of the air
As we proclaim what is rightfully ours
(His name will be exalted and praised... domine!)
Crush the remnants of their dying fiath
Feeble minds open to our lust and hate
(His name will be exalted and praised... sathanas!)

Rejoice brothers! For the fire age has arrived!
Hail father! Your presence is burning within us!

Pierce their creed with the sting of scorpions
The venom will spread into their veins
Like a plague they must be brought to an end
Christian dogma into the abyss must descend

From this arid wasteland of mildewed minds...
We will ascend
From the depths of the pits
Though shalt hear
The word of Satan!

3. Kristus Lag In Totesbanden

And Hell was unleashed upon the Golgothian Hill
As the body of Christ lay silent and still
The prophecy of salvation believed to be conceived
Ignorant of the truth that He's been deceived

His being enters a new dimension
Lost and bewildered he fails ascension

Torn between this world and beyond
Deep into an abyss so black and profound
...to an eternity of suffering Christ you are doomed!

The grim smiles in lustful glee
As the savior is re-plunged onto the tree
His father has now truly forsaken him
Abandoned his son to the fallen seraphim
Like vultures they swoop upon their prey
Freshly laid without array

Vulnerable deity, now crawling the Earth
Torn and mangled in the scythe of death!

Behold the word of death's messenger
Kristus lag in totesbanden!
Forced into eternal slumber
Kristus lag in totesbanden!

To the throne of blasphemy he's lifted
Maimed and sodomized while being dissected
Praise the Leper King, we bow to thee
Vested in red robes, the lord of the free
Surrender to us, the scions of sin
Entwine in sodomy, bemused in oblivion

Little by little your body's consumed...

Trail of tears from the angels' weep
As the messiah struggles in troubled sleep

Sacrifice on the crucifixion
Kristus lag in totesbanden
Await no praise or benediction
Kristus lag in totesbanden!

Coiled and entangled around him tight
The serpent of the pit, victorious and almighty

Awaiting vainly for his father's touch of gold
Not knowing that secretly to the Devil he was sold
Used as puppet throughout his existence
For the lust and pleasure of his munificence

4. Incantation Of The Gate

Deep in forests beyond human hearing
My mind in astral, to the gods is yearning

The sigil inscribed, the offerings all set
In the odor of incense my mind beset

From a bloodline beyond Kingu's Race
The watcher invoked, his eyes now gaze
Risen forth to protect my path
Against the hordes of Shub Niggurath

I step before Fifth Gate of Mars
Remember thy servant for I ask thy force!

I raise my voice that thou mayst hear
In the name of Anu I call thee here!

To the Red Planet I call! Ia! Ia kanpa!
Nergal Mighty God of War! Ia! Zi annga kanpa!
Sacrificial blood god! Ia! Ia kanpa!
Nergal Mighty God of War! Ia! Zi annga kanpa!

Open thy gate! Manifest to me!
Show me thy power beyond infinity
By the name given to me
Open wide your sphere profound!

Under a crimson sky my rite heralded
When Mars in the Heavens is exalted
Hear me now spirit of entrance!
For I fear not any sword or lance
Behold the inscription on the iron seal
Behold the bloodsword! Under which I kneel
Fifth spirit of the celestial zone
Breach the gateway! Steel or stone!

Hence I pass to the Valleys of the Dead
Down in the underworld, in the forlorn land
Beyond the Celestial Zones, to face my fate
Beyond the portals of the Nergal Gate...

5. Into The Labyrinths Of The Absu

In a dream of a twisted reality...
A distorted vision of an unknown land
Blazed in darkness under deserts of sand
In the berth of all evil I pace, speechless

The winds speak my name
For I am the messenger of the Gods
The one who found the formula
To pass Arzir against all odds

One thousand moons I've seen
I'm the prophet
Alsi ku nushi ya! Kia mass ssaratu!

Chosen to seek the serpent's children
To battle forth the liers-in-wait
Int he spaces where no mortal walks
Where the old ones sleep, in chaos, in hate

Ensnared by the unwelcoming hand
Of he who made the stars!
Charms against my spellbound path
Enki protect your ones!
I descend with the Three Seals of Masshu
Into the labyrinths of the Absu...

A column of fire with a blazing head of stone
It watches me as in the pit I am blown
From felon winds abominations come forth
Plague-wielder Pazuzu and Magick Lord Azag Thoth!
Lord of all fevers angel with four wings
Controls the storms controls the four winds

They haul me down in their realm
And lunged their curses against my charm
I dive the depths of the ancient sea
Gods! Hear your servant and come for me

The ancient mother I witness sleeping
Awaiting the necromancer's calling
For Tiamat ever seeks to conquer the stars
For the Battle of Old has left its scars

Ensnared by the unwelcoming hand
Of he who made the stars!
Charms against my spellbound path
Enki protect your ones!

Descended with the Three Seals of Masshu
Into the labyrinths of the Absu...

6. Awakening The Ancient

Mountains mask the tomb of thy eternal sleep
Guarded by the Seven Stars of Divine Power
Invoked only by the abominations of the abyss
Hordes of Utukki! The world will cower!

Xastur! Beloved of the ancient
Thy name is called! Awake and come to me!
Absu! Berth of all ancient evil
Stir the depths! Send forth your legions!

Kutulu rise from the seas of Nar Mattaru
To thy covenant you must hold firm
Sons of iniquity embrace your oath
Fulfill the prophecy in the Book of the Worm

Ninghizhidda heed my pledge! Sorceress of the Magick Wand
Those who dwell beyond the gate I came to seek beneath the sand
Hear me dormant spirit! Scourge of madness from your throne!
Open gate of Ganzir! Watcher of the land unknown!
Ia! Thou who art before all things
Ia! Born before man's reign begun
Ia! Thou art before legend and myth
Ia! Thou who art the ancient one!

In the name of Shammash! In the name of Ishtar!
Seven stars of seven powers
Ever-shining North Star
Iak sakkak Kutulu!
Come to me o ancient one!

Remember minions of the Great Old War
Beware the knower of the secret names
For all must perish for his power to restore
He wields the chariot with the disc of flames!

Guardians of the gates heed my calling
Answer to no other voice but mine!
For I have awoken the dead but dreaming
Resist.... and death shalt be thine!

May the dead rise
And smell the incense of my curse!
I summon thee...
Creatures of hatred and despise
I summon thee...
My words shall shatter the gate within!

The serpent awakes from silent slumber
Mother and queen of the world down under
The Absu yawns with jaws wide open
Behold the uprise of the ancient demon!

Xastur! Beloved of the ancient
Thy name is called! Awake and come to me!
Absu! Berth of all ancient evil
Stir the depths! Send forth your legions!

7. Anpu Xent Neter Het

Long gone epochs in a far away land
Delirium of blood and darkness I send
Fallen captivities to my domain
Your souls and minds I crave to drain
The eyes of the Nile watching attentive
As my spirit now roams free
Restless souls in nightmares fall
Tortured... inflicting anxiety

Waiting for the time to come
To strike unto their precious life
Thy spirit shalt enforce mine
Collector of mortality
Anubis - so they baptized me
The Hoary God of the Dead
Father and reaper of all gods
isis and Seti in blood they wed

Locked in his sarcophagus
Horus trapped under my spell
By the powers of the mighty Hombos
Set me free... in twilight I'll dwell

Vain use of dispel-scrolls
No magick will obstruct my path
The undefiled soul of Nefertari
Will soon suffer under my wrath

As Orion aligns with Gemini
My evocation will be fulfilled
All the retinues of Sekhmet
Will be imploring at my feet
The sun darkens with my presence
As I rise up in the sky
Chariots of thunder marching
As they attack the collapsing Sphinx
Defenseless pathetic mortals
Plead mercy to their gods
Still not realizing my blackened presence
I rip them from limb to limb

The whore of war is summoned
Riding upon the beast
Orgasms over this carnage
On her body my seed shalt feast

Bringer of woe, sinner of birth
Source of destruction and pestilence
No god made me, no god can kill me
I'm the immortal, draining benevolence...

8. Purity Through Enlightenment

A mirror of deception that shows what once was me
A sickening reflection is all that I can see
The image I witnessed is now long lost
Just fragments of a memory... trails of a ghost....

I embraced new wisdom defiled!
Shattered the chains that kept me... confined!
Knowledge is power, and that I craved
Consumed was my spirit
Unspeakable presence, exalted by many
Eternal is my spirit!

Let there be light for those who seek the burning flame
Beyond the stars my throne awaits them who believe
I am above all other angels
Praise my name to the sound of drums
My hand with stretch on Earth and water
Gathering my chosen ones!

Immaculate deception!
Be free from all hypocrisy
Cleanse the Earth my children
In a blaze of scorn!

All gather at nightfall!
I will my armies through the dark!
Burn all in your pathway
Watch the flames grow high and brighter!

9. Manifestum Luna Plenae

Necromantic rapture, a curse that lived for years
Occult evolution, we're one with our own fears
Beasts that rise for bloodshed, we tear apart our prey
Awakened forth by moonshine yet hidden we're by day

Atavistic resurgence
Grand Hekate's cult of confict
By hate for God united
Transfigure by our instinct
We are what you fear
Cast from wolves and men
Made to blaspheme and desecrate
Your feeble soul we'll penetrate

Medieval sacraments
Dark rituals in the night
Lycantropic seizures
As the flames turn tall and bright
Brothers we are
From the shadows we glare
Army of immortals
The same curse we share

True warriors we are, by perception aware
We are the elite ones, come touch us who dare!
We manifest evil by the light of the full moon
Our victory is imminent - prepare to meet your doom!

From stone walls of the temples
To far beyond land and sea
Against the sects of Jehovah
Reaching out the killing spree
Desecrated churches
The black smokes defiled the sky
And tortured screams of bloodshed
Made the seas incarnadine

Young Luna was in zenith
And the landscape silent white
Our hordes came forth from darkness
And struck with all their might

A vicious crusade foreseen
The prophecy is now fulfilled...

A red-hued dawn was still arising
From her deep and sombre sleep
When she witnessed a new Gaia
Newborn Lycans from the deep
Multitude of blackened corpses
Feeding the bloodthirsty soil
Wailing cries of deathlike terror
From the victims of Lucian's coil

Necromantic rapture
Our curse will live for years
Occult evolution
Angels drowned in their own tears
Beasts risen for bloodshed
We torn apart our prey
Awakened forth by moonshine
Still hidden we're by day

As morbid wolves we roam
Our fangs still lust for blood
Stating ominous arcana
Of how perished Yahveh's lost
So forever it shall be written
Until darkness consumes us all
How the pagan sons of nature
Overthrew and murdered God...

10. Before The Throne Of Nadir

[Instrumental]
