TEMPLE OF DREAD LYRICS

1. Aithon's Hunger

Thoughts ahead, outwitting of the vengeful gods
Bringer of fire, anguish and fear, pecking of innards
Savior of mankind, creator of man
Sanctioned by the highest, endless pain
Blood from within, eagle's gory prey

Vast hepatic hunger

Father of gods to punish mankind
Titanic suffering, a torment perverse, loyal accomplice
Dabbing the liver, feeding the hunger
No satiation, flesh in the sun
Tight fitting iron, providing human meat

Aithon's hunger
Aithon's hunger

Vengeance of Zeus, mindful of infinite power
Eating emotions, impairing the strength, more vulture than eagle
Godfull bird, attribute of the king
Chained to the rock, parch in the heat
Dead end of this venture

Eat liver

Aithon's hunger
Aithon's hunger

Thief of fire
Benefactor to mankind
Deceiver of gods
Agonized cries
Ruse for deities
Nourish the mortals
Futile battle
Losing is doom

Sucking the blood, feast on flesh eternally
Bird of prey, enforcer of evil, gnawing with delight
Awaiting the rescue, cursing the heavens
Forever oppressed, ambrosial man, gigantic meal
Save me Heracles

Aithon's hunger
Aithon's hunger
Livers without number
Don't satisfy Aithon's hunger

2. Necromanteion

Conjure up, the deceased
Suburbs of Ephyra
The pale ancestry
At the gates of Hades

Ordinance to call the dead
Necromanteion
Ordinance to call the dead
Necromanteion

Conjure up, the dear departed
Clandestine rites
Immolation of sheep
Libations of blood

Ordinance to call the dead
Necromanteion
Ordinance to call the dead
Necromanteion

To know is to suffer
Talk to the dead
Fates to sustain
Necromanteion

Conjure up, in strict liturgy
Necromancers unite
Accept dead discourse
Dead future’s the word

Ordinance to call the dead!
Necromanteion
Ordinance to call the dead!
Necromanteion

Suffer the oracles of Necromanteion
Necromanteion
Necromanteion

To know is to suffer
Talk to the dead
Fates to sustain
Necromanteion

3. Wrath of the Gods (Furor Divinus)

Nature's god, emerge on the field
King of joy, thy kingdom come
Roborant, dark visions yield
Savagely dancing, rise to thy throne

Wrath of the gods
Tyrants divine

Bringer of chaos and destruction
Monarchs of fury and revenge
Wrath of the Gods
Wrath of the Gods

Faster and faster, sartyrs stand by
Feral furore, brutish songs
Giving birth to fantastic prophecies
Two years an orgy, hammering stomp

Wrath of the gods
Tyrants divine

Bringer of chaos and destruction
Monarchs of fury and revenge
Wrath of the Gods

From the underworld
To mount Parnassus
Singing and screaming, hunting and eating raw
Intoxication
Alters the vision
Raging and spinning, copulating and sinning severe

Bacchanalian dance
Prophetic trance
Raping of Venus
Furor divinus

Forbidden ecstasy and killing
Eating the flesh, raw and cold
Golden cup, renew the filling
Bacchus' disciples, savagely bold

Wrath of the gods
Hades unleashed

Bringer of chaos and destruction
Monarchs of fury and revenge
Wrath of the gods
Wrath of the gods

Possessed by the gods

4. Threefold Agony

I am god, don't they know
Their table is for me
Entitled to eat with the gods
On a par, why can't they see

Serve the corpse, delicate
Godlike man, a cook like me
Incrimination of sacrilege
Tartarus, going deep

Hunger, thirst, fear of death
Suffer like a god
Threefold agony
Suffer like a god
Threefold agony

I am god
In threefold agony
Hunger, thirst and fear of death
No surrender
Not me
Hunger, thirst and fear of death
In threefold agony

Takes a god-man to endure
Suffer threefold agony
Disdained by gods profoundly
I'll sustain and they will see

Hunger, thirst, fear of death
Suffer like a god
Threefold agony
Suffer like a god
Threefold agony

5. Empyrean

Likeness of heaven
Gate to hell
Treasures of mankind
Behind the stone

Sacred earth
Dedicated to death
Life underneath
Rituals unknown

Manes awake, none will survive
Stabbing the dagger, hostiles alive
Stone of the goddess, guardian of hell
Empyrean, no one prevails
Empyrean

Hole in the soil
Horror chthonic
Abysmal fiends
Heliophobic

Manes awake, none will survive
Stabbing the dagger, hostiles alive
Stone of the goddess, guardian of hell
Empyrean, no one prevails

Roll back
The stone
Save our souls
Titan
Unbeaten
Watchman
Empyrean

Stealing our treasure
Take our iron
Coming for us
Desolation

Sacred earth
Dedicated to death
Life underneath
Rituals unknown

Manes awake, none will survive
Stabbing the dagger, hostiles alive
Stone of the goddess, guardian of hell
Empyrean, no one prevails

6. Crypts of the Gorgon

Child of incest
Raped by the god
Beauty becomes hideousness
Cave becomes the crypt

Man, avert your eyes
A look, petrified
Guardians of stone
Crypts of the gorgon

Sarpedon, end of the known world
Executor in a world of doom

Serpents' nest, stoning eyes
Evil bitch, serpents' bride

The sorely afflicted
Human tombstones
Beheading's the verdict
Execution by the demigod

Man, avert your eyes
A look, petrified
Guardians of stone
Guardians of stone
Crypts of the gorgon

7. Nefarious, I

Blind seer, presaged annihilation
Bloody feet, someone else's progeny

Preserve me from sin

Cursed me, kill the father
Cursed me, take the wife
Damned me, kill the mother
Damned me, shame the tribe

Forsaken me, blinded beggar, nullified
Insidious, incestuous, nefarious, I
Nefarious, I...

Parental assassin
Bringer of sorrow
From hero to nemesis
From hero to nemesis

Family, in a dark black swirl
Ruin, wandering erratically

Deliver me from sin

Cursed me, kill the father
Cursed me, take the wife
Damned me, kill the mother
Damned me, shame the tribe

Forsaken me, blinded beggar, nullified
Insidious, incestuous, nefarious, I
Nefarious, I...

8. Whores of Pompeii

Bent to lower drives
Nature and black vice
Lava before eruption
Explosion of deadly concoction
The indecent house
Hot base-souled directions
Charms worth a fortune
Payment, payback, death

Fornication in the face of death
Pay the final price
Money to burn
Whores, whores of Pompeii
Whores of Pompeii

Explosion, eruption, furious pyre

Oceanic lust
Not knowing about the fate
Hotter than hell
Cauldrons of perversion swell

Fornication in the face of death
Money to burn

Pay the final price
Mangy punters

Whores of Pompeii
Whores of Pompeii

Explosion, eruption
Orgiastic bustle, cooled down by fire
Whoremasters and mongers
Lust, fueling the fire

Fornication in the face of death
Pay the final price
Money to burn
Whores, whores of Pompeii

9. Procession to Tartarus

Bearer of light and cosmos
Judge of the grand south
Let the fury lash her whip upon us
We cherish punishment

First born from chaos
Hail to the king
Anvil falling nine days
Saints and sinners form a ring

Bearer of light and cosmos
Judge of the grand south
Let the fury lash her whip upon us
We cherish punishment

Tartarus
Let us mingle with the perjured souls
And march the heinous path

Crossing the river of the dead
Longing to be judged

Cleansing or eternal damnation
Thy disciples embrace their fate

Bearer of light and cosmos
Judge of the grand south
Let the fury lash her whip upon us
We cherish punishment

Tartarus
Let us mingle with the perjured souls
And march the heinous path

Tartarus
Tartarus
