Priests of Armageddon raise the nuclear dagger And strike down, blind attempt to dominate Under bloodred skies of death they do attack with spell Loathsome demon forms annihilate – at war Look, behold, the demon beast is raised to execrate Blind destroyer none can understand Envoys of Gehenna come to thwart and ruin and desecrate Heralds of disaster scorch the land in havoc Megaton Therion Now the time is come at last to kiss your ass goodbye All nightmares come to an end and now it’s time to die Megaton Therion Now the warhead soars above the winter will arrive A night to do away with those who happen to survive All is lost like ashes swept away the wind has blown And as you die your spirit now departs to the unknown Megaton Therion

Αθάνατον Αρετήν We are the fated fighters whose hearts in battle burn We thirst for life yet know our death may lurk behind each turn For one knows not when singing if a song will reach its end Lest swift death falls upon us and clasps us in his hand The dark night holds the blazes Pyres for the ones who died Once proud warriors we were, yet our swords now turn to rust And travellers tread the paths made from our bones and dust But the days of glory past are beacons to inspire All those who behold as our bones burn in the pyre Red flames reach the sky Sending smoke the wind to ride In legend we live on although our time’s long gone Faint echoes of the din of battles fought and won

On a slate you lie awake Time is nigher to expire Visions of a dark past Are with you to the last Numb lethargy assaults your limbs But your mind drifts away Is this in truth what it seems The opening of the gates Doomed to death Into the beyond Doomed to death Journey into fear Who will judge your many crimes So many places, so many times Will you be allowed to rest in peace Or will torment not cease You lie and wait, paralised Landscapes flow, memories So much deceit, so many lies Vile hatred to appease Doomed to death Doomed to be the one Doomed to death Dying now and here Doomed to death Your sins you now atone Doomed to death Dying here alone Doomed to death Infernal agony

The wind sweeps the debris Strewn among half-fallen walls Tokens left behind When civilization falls Beneath the pale red skies A ruined dead Earth lies Sad witness to a species That caused its own demise The calls of birds fell silent No sounds by beasts or men And scattered vinyl records Never can be played again Vacant are the seats of power Empty are the thrones All at last are equal Contaminated bones Radioactive skulls Now devoid of will The dead cannot rise There’s nothing left to kill No humans are left here To leave a further mark Only grinning skulls That shine green when it’s dark Humans caught like mice Fell in their own traps No one could deter The ultimate collapse Now this swirling planet Is just a giant tomb A monument to mankind Who plunged into their doom

We are here among you, the children of the night Easy to acknowledge or hidden in plain sight Underground we used to thrive and many still remain Remembering the days of old and keeping the old flame Our faith oppresses none – Metallic liturgy Our only commandment is to always remain free We accept no dogma and we follow our own rules And we care not about the words of authoritarian fools We’re the proud pariahs gathered in the name of steel Metal flows in our veins, always has and always will Our life forged on the altar of the true eternal sound We are hellbound Proud We can never stray away from this path till we die Metallic For this is what we are and there’s no logic reason why Burning flame Flames that burn like hellfire, the Metal lava flows Forever Cathartic and eternal the power it bestows We are the fierce guardians of the true ultimate art We will never break the oath until death do us part And even then we’ll deafen Charon across the dreaded Stygian Electric legion Joined in bestial gatherings our altar is the stage Our chants are high in decibels and guitars scream in rage Supporting true Metallic bands and labels like Stormspell From the shore of Heaven to the fiery pits of Hell Our faith none can destroy, neither man nor time Should Metal be outlawed we would live a life of crime Those who moved away from Metal were never true at all But many never changed – many never fall!

Demons fly with ghastly grins from a sky of frantic void Fearsome dreaded canvas of old Hieronymous Alighieri strolling idly amongst the broken stones Black bones of a landscape of the mind Purgatory whorehouse Redemption is denied Enter the pathway of all vice My soul has ascended; my trial is harsh Deemed unworthy, doomed to fail the reward I turn my back scornful of the virtuous path Purported bliss that I now shun To a redlit tower I now head with contempt More inviting than the supernal gates I yield to temptresses in lust Purgatory whorehouse Voluptuousness unchained My soul is lost and cast away Questioning the dogma I indulge in heresy And choose the path of the accursed Milton at the doorway bids me welcome to this fucking den A red and sinful pitfall now beckons from within The doors are shut behind me not to be opened again My choice is made, I embrace sin Purgatory whorehouse The carnal feast begins And the angels sing their song

Death to All 03:17
Death to all! Death to all backstabbers whose ends justify the means Death to all for whom material gain their conscience cleans Death to all Death to all the preachers who would put me to the flame Death to all the hypocrites who burden sex with shame Death to all bigots who need stupid crutches Like homeland or colour or vain ancestry Death to all tyrants oppressing the masses Who crush fellow man with false authority Death to all! Death to all who kill and rape to plunder what they can Death to all who validate that man is wolf of man Wolf of man Death to all who would see me led astray from my path Death to all these fucking maggots, may them soon meet death Deathspeed! Death to all who sell their art, following the trend Death to all false Metal, may it meet a painful end Death to politicians, who will give us smiles with lies Sentencing whole nations caring not who lives or dies If might is right will you be willing to carry the weight Of guiding your whole life under the flag of hate? Will you be held accountable for whatever you decide Or are you truly just a bully, of darkness terrified? Death to all sadists who despise the underdog Thinking themselves to be above the rest Death to all cogs in the wheel who conform And who think that to bow may be all for the best Death to all!

Bury the expectations you had for your life For they were the victim of unfathomable fate Weak, unable of control, a wreck that’s cast adrift Feeble attempt to resist, too little and too late Sucked into a vortex of disgrace you’re overwhelmed Desperate, seeking for some sense, as madness takes the helm Mercilessly your world crumbles into dust And you retreat; you’re the shadow of a man Vile and crushed, craving respite Endless pain you cannot fight Haunted by dreams, living in dread of the night Lost in a quest that is far beyond your might Self contempt, pitiful scenes Fatal wounds, felt but unseen You cannot escape the vice of a reality deceased You try to cope and fail You reminisce... Months and years will pass before this dark time’s finally undone Pain will always last but in the end serenity shall come Bid farewell to what’s dead and gone Once you were a shadow but now you have grown strong

Aeschylan word-weaving Buried in sands of the past In a hoard of man’s lost knowledge Waiting to be found at last Among ancient scrolls is kept The dark tale of a titan’s might Enchained to a gloomy crag For many a day and night Valiant Defiant Titan Bringer of light Opposer Master Give us Fire unleashed The ocean sings for the victim Of a whimsical decree Who waits in patient torment For the time when he’ll be free For the hero that will come To release him from his plight Shackled above the waves For many a day and night Did Prometheus do an action out of love for humankind Bringing fire from the heavens for us to thrive and learn Or was Zeus a wiser god wanting to protect a child Knowing if you give them fire children will burn
