Rat King Crawl

|

Nightmare
A horror is crawling within your sight
Demon
You can't believe your eyes
Is it dead or alive?
Rat King
Crawling as one
Rat King
Second to none
Rat King
Coming for you
Rat King
What are you gonna do?
It comes to feast on your flesh
Come see the rat king crawl
Your guts taste warm and fresh
Come feel the rat king crawl
It devours you alive
Scream as the rat king crawls
Once it gets to your heart
Be one with the Rat King Crawl
Rodents feasting upon your very eyes
Vermin causing a painful slow demise
They feed off your life
Rat King
There is nowhere to go
Rat King
Rats take over now
Rat King
You are their source of food
Rat King
And man do you taste good
It comes to feast on your flesh
Come see the rat king crawl
Your guts taste warm and fresh
Come feel the rat king crawl
It devours you alive
Scream as the rat king crawls
Once it gets to your heart
Be one with the Rat King Crawl

Theater of Pain
03:30
|
|||
Walking home all alone
On a dreary night
Grab your keys, on your phone
Quite the fright
Suddenly you feel a sting
A sharp pain in your neck
Now you can't feel a thing
Spinning the world goes black
In solid darkness a voice is heard
Dripping ichor as if disturbed
Interspersed with a sullen shriek
Through the edges light now leaks
The theater of pain is all you see
In his chamber
Stainless steel shines
Plastic sheeting
To conceal the crime
No faint traces
Will be left behind
Your existance
Erased from all life
From the darkness now arise
Consciousness and horror alike
Strapped to a metal slab
Naked as the day you were born
The shriek arising is all yours
Feel him watching from behind
Try to turn but fetters bind
Hear him picking at his tools
Bile now rises as you drool
The solid darkness now dispersed
The sight you see is so disturbed
You try to close your eyes in vain
Forceps bring nothing but pain
And then you see him leering insane
Questions coming
Fast as your breath
Panic fills you
Until you wish for death
No more screaming
No more tears
Paralyzed
By your own fear
Will it be over in a flash?
Will he take time carving your flesh?
Will he molest you as you cry?
Will you live...
OR WILL YOU DIE?

Dead Man's Hate
03:38
|
|||
When it’s time to die
I stare into the afterlife
As the veil begins to rise
Yet I refuse to let go of myself
Remember who I am
A mortal and a man
To be alive again
Afterlife be damned
I step out of the circle of light
It disappears in front of me
No pearly gates, no choir of angels
Just the flickering of a flashlight
And the crickets chirping in the night
The patter of rain on the leaves
And my body dead in a ditch
I hear the shovel biting the ground
I see the sweat on my killer’s brow
As he works to dispose of my corpse
There’s no return to my decaying flesh
Suddenly I sense it all
All the creatures of the night
The bugs and worms infesting my flesh
The predator just outside the light
Like a spider following a thread
I seek out the strongest life
Our thoughts mingle and meld
To a mind set on rage and blood
I hear the shovel falling to the ground
I hear the fear in my killer's cry
As my claws rend his body to pieces
There's no escape from a Dead Man's Hate
His spirit comes alive
As his body dies
Another circle of light
One of brimstone and fire
As he is pulled into the nether realm
And I'm trapped in this body
With a mind full of rage
But I can't break free

Rains of Death
03:10
|
|||
In the rains of death
All life melts away
Like molten led from the sky
Existence is wiped out in a single day
Nuclear demise
Disaster will strike
The fallout shall spread
And the air itself will soon ignite
Oh the rains shall fall
And end it all
But the cowardly few
They breed and start anew
And so the weak inherit the Earth
The last of men
Trapped in concrete pens
Hiding far beneath
Survival their mission even in defeat
An extinction event
This man-made descent
Into chaos and death
On a scale we dared not even dream
Oh the rains shall fall
And end it all
But the cowardly few
They breed and start anew
And so the weak inherit the Earth
There in the rains of death
Where we can truly find out
Just what we would sacrifice
To live another day

Rot of Ages
06:02
|
|||
Hail the Antichrist
It's the end of life
The final day where darkness kills light
We're the harbingers
We're the catalysts
We're the bringers of the end
You'll be forever lost
In the fires of the damned
As you scream
You bring us to life
Undead and rotten we ascend
Rotten we ascend
Screamed back to life
Fallen angels rise
No end to our violent delights
Deliverance is just
For those who defied
Nothing tastes as fine
As vengeance on all mankind
Rot of Ages
Trapped in desolation
Rot of Ages
Punishment eternal
Rot of Ages
The chains of hell are now broken
Rot of Ages
The truth shall not go unspoken
The Rot of Ages past
The fields where dead angels lay
Now empty and void
Of life and death alike
I've seen the storm inside my mind
I've felt it burning through my eyes
I - I feel it inside of me
Like ice, like a fire that…
...Burns!
Akephalos - oh headless one
Help usher in the end of times
Daeva of dark desires - Aka Manah
Bring untold pleasures unto the damned
Extasies of revenge
Rot of Ages
Trapped in desolation
Rot of Ages
Punishment eternal
Rot of Ages
The chains of hell are now broken
Rot of ages
The truth has been spoken

The Final Furnace
03:31
|
|||
Go down into
The sordid pits of hell
The flaming abyss awaits you
The first circle stands open
Yet down you must go
Further than any before
Tread the steps of bleak despair
A spiral staircase
Winding ever downward
The final furnace beckons
Sins of a lifetime cleansed
Through flames for eternity
Repentance in the fire
Acceptance through the blood
Reject your every desire
Deny thy beloved god
The final furnace
Burn your sins away
The final furnace
Enjoy your fucking stay
Welcome to hell
Nine circles for your soul
Where you will die again
Inside the cleansing flames
And as your flesh burns away
You realize you are not alone
All of humanity
They burn as one
Into the pit
Of boiling tar below
Your immortal soul
Shall suffer
The pain consumes you
Eternally enthralled
As the flaming abyss
Devours you

I awake in the night
Chains hold me down
Awaiting first light
Disorientation
For a moment I don't know where I am
But then it hits
I have been damned
To be released from it all
To feel the blade cut deep
When the guillotine falls
And I howl into the night
As I realize
There’s nothing to be done
No benevolent god will save me
No man will say their prayers
They reek of death
I taste their abject fear
I am but beast to be put down
For my hideous crime
I wear the sinner's crown
A gift divine
Judgment of god
Passed out by men
Kill them all
And let god sort them
The harlots, the beggars, the thieves
The children of night
The fallen without a reprieve
They have been damned
To be released from it all
To feel the blade cut deep
When the guillotine falls
And they howl into the night
As they realize
There's nothing to be done

War Machine
03:24
|
|||
Staring out at the enemy lines
The trenches deep and fortified
Await the order to charge in the night
Who will be the first to die?
Behind safe doors
Unsullied medals gleam
Commanders and generals grin
As soldiers are fed to the machine
Unsung heroes sent out to die
Millions and millions to secure the lie
A sovereign state above the rest
Propaganda put to the test
War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream
This is the War Machine
Watch it's muzzle gleam
The War Machine
As it burns the down world
This is the War Machine
The War Machine
Fire!
Burn down the world
Aiming down the iron sights
The bugle calls we charge tonight
A dead run across no man's land
Straight into enemy hands
And so the mighty safely hide
In their castles far and high
While the young must fight their fight
For the rich their lives are sacrificed
War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream

Prometheus Unbound
03:09
|
|||
Christ, you suffered
To steal the sins of men
To bring us to an end
Our free will revoked again
We stand against you
And all your fucking lies
We are the harbingers
Descendants of satans light
We are the eye of the storm
The Omega reborn
Oroborous unwound
Prometheus unbound
My brothers!
Await the return
Of the one who still burns
He who shall guide our black path
In the days of the blistering aftermath
Nazarene deceiver
You met your timely end
Resurrected just to die again
Now bow down before the wielder of flame
Sentenced to suffer in his fiery domain
