7. The Speed Of Darkness

Those who know, don't speak
Those who speak, don't know
Knowledge no words can contain
In the silence between your chattering thoughts
You dream of light that do not die
Well think again
Saying prayers for your soul to save
You're wrong again - Helpless, weak and afraid
Drawn into the light of doom
And like moth to the flame
You're consumed - Belief - As hollow as fear
Darkness - The way of the force
The Speed of Darkness - Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining through the night
From Darkness all is born - And to Darkness all return
You try so hard to follow - I can't be lost
When free of all illusion - There is just force
The way of no roads
The freedom here at the peak of time
The Speed of Darkness - Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
The Speed of Darkness
Hell - For the helpless ones
I take and make it my heaven
Hell - For the helpless ones

I am at one with Darkness

[Lead: Marcus Sunesson]

Before the beginning - After the end
Like cattle who in panic flee - From the fire
You will run in fear until you fall - All burning
(But) those who stand and turn
Towards the flames - Through the inferno
Shall survive on the other side
Where the ground is cleansed
For those who turn to Darkness
Are in Endlessness
The Speed of Darkness - Rebel soul
The Speed of Darkness
Do you know - The Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Together with the Speed of Darkness
Shining on through the night
Riding with the Speed of Darkness
Faster than the speed of light
Forever with the Speed of Darkness
Shining through the night
All Light Gone - All Night Long
All Light Gone - All Night Long

8. I Am Hell

Armageddon Karma - The Devil's got my heart
Loosen all hope - And walk through me
There are people cold - And people burning
Are you one of the damned
Born to burn - Mad to live
The Second Death repeated
Dying again and again
And the way I'm feeling now
Leaves me without choice
I am HELL
I've got to suffer every time it holds me
I am HELL
It's growing stronger every time it swallows me again
Damnation's Flame - You tell me not to scream
As if you knew about pain - You tell me not to bleed
As if you knew about hate - You tell me to turn around
As if I ever had a choice - To take your hand
As if you could save this soul of mine
Dying again and again
From the things I can't remember
To the things I can't forget
I am HELL
I've got to suffer every time it holds me
I am HELL
It's growing stronger every time it swallows me again

Damnation's Flame - Burning deep in my soul

[Lead: Marcus Sunesson]

I've put my faith to fire
Laid my life in the flames
Descended and met myself
A thorn of pain in all I do
But noa tear in my eyes
Leather bound legacy
The pain of Satan
The Second Death repeated
Dying again and again
And the way I'm feeling now
Leaves me without choice
The Second Death repeated
Dying again and again
From the things I can't remember
To the things I can't forget
I am HELL
I've got to suffer every time it holds me
I am HELL
It's growing stronger every time it swallows me again
Damnation's Flame - Burning deep in my soul

9. Death Is The Hunter

Death is the hunter - Breathing down your neck
The Force that will tear - Your forthless life to shreads
The stench of fear upon your dying breath
Charging forth
I am the hunter by death possessed
Prowling - Insane from hunger - Bt terror blessed
I raging thirst for death - Behold the endless depths
A surge of power - In darkness I descend
Your souls are mine - Together down the line
Through your death I am reborn in a crimson tide
There will be no mercy given
From my blood-stained scythe
Death is The Hunter
I am the hunter - Stalking - defenseless prey
Through your death I am reborn
In me you'll find your bane
Watching as the innocent they flee
You know there's no escape
Beware my killing spree
Through your death I am reborn in a crimson tide
There will be no mercy given
From my blood-stained scythe
The grin across my face
The hunger in my stare
As I feed upo your fear
I am the hunter - Your worst fucking nightmare
Death your release - I will set you free!
Death is the hunter - Breathing down on your neck
The Force that will tear - Your worthless life to shreads
I am the hunter - Stalking - defenseless prey
Through your death I am reborn
In me you'll find your bane
Through your death I am reborn in a crimson tide
There will be no mercy given
From my blood-stained scythe
The grin across my face - The hunger in my stare
As I feed upon your fear
I am the hunter - Your worst fucking nightmare
Death your release - I will set you free!

10. Satanist

No heaven above - Nothing higher
Lightning tiger ride the whirlwinds
Your greatest fear and your deepest desire
Thunder in the night forever!!!
I'll go - Where no-one has gone
Do - What no-one has done
Shine - As no-one has shone

I am the way - The truth and the life
No restriction - Every life is a crime
On the throne - Exalted by soul
The true living image of a
God - Without no bounds
Do - What no-one has done

Satanist - The devil's finest
A diamond - In the fear and silence
Always and ever - Nowhere and never

Unheavenly star rise up

11. Death Metal Holocaust

Counted, counted, weighed and parted
Ripped to pieces - Ruled and numbered
Hands of doom - Break your wings - Bury you alive
Die before death - Nowhere to hide
A cold systematic ritual - Of silent choking torture
Pain beyond pain - Lay your soul to waste
Drive your dreams to dust
So I wreak my revenge - Draped in disguise
Huse of Hades - Open for me
Strength in darkness - Blasphemy
Smiling at the gates of hell
Pure soul distortion
Death Metal Holocaust - Death Metal Animal
We're shadows - Living dead
Ghouls to this world
Wilder, wilder, wilder, wilder
Counted, counted, weighed and parted
Wilder, wilder, wilder, wilder
Ripped to pieces - Ripped apart
My spirit exiled
My mind like space
My body - a weapong
Like a bullet through the void
Motorgods of apocalypse
Blood-engined Death-machines
High-speed Lords of the Underworld
Soul Hulks on the other side
A Natural force
Death black massive
Timeless storms

Ripping through the void - Like a roaring lion

[Lead: Marcus Sunesson]

Stalking the earth
With all sins of the world - Upon your shoulders
Morbid fullfillment of obscure dreams
Pure soul distortion
Awaken reprisal - The young blasphemic assault
Death Metal Holocaust - Death Metal Animal
Death Metal Holocaust - Death is The Crown Of All
Rotting, cursing, clawing at your coffin!

Rotting, cursing, clawing at your coffin!
