"There Is No Madness Here"
Album 2018-19

There Is No Madness Here

Cursed upon this clogging earth,
Crushed beneath the cross.
The Antichrist is risen,
We’re counting up the cost.

There is no madness here…

Barren like a desert,
Crystallized in fear.
Everything abnormal,
There is no madness here.

Praying like a mantis,
Forged by ancient flame.
Nothing ever changes,
There’s hatred in our veins.

______________

Black Fire

Black fire,
Sable flame.
Silk shadows,
Ancient rain…

Claws of death,
Drag me down.
Would your God,
Watch me drown?


Black fire…

Leather flails,
Singing whips.
Visit flesh,
With stinging lips.

Everything, Has turned to grey.
All the pain, Has gone away.
Pagan rites, Feed the fear.
Of everyone, That’s gathered here…

Steel jawed,
Titan skies,
Blessing me,
As I rise.

______________

We Who Walk With God

Annihilate, obliterate,
Scatter to the winds.
Nullify, crucify,
Absolved the martyr’s sins.

Violate, desecrate,
Rip the face off God.
Stigmatise, idolise,
Throw it to the dogs.

We who walk with god…

Analyse, emphasize,
Reach into the soul.
Emulate, eviscerate,
Stand where others crawl.

Terrorise, brutalise,
Kill the god of grace.
Paralyse, desensitize,
All the human race.

______________

In The Shadow Of The Cross

Stand before you naked,
In the shadow of the cross.
We watch your Eden burning,
Our inner child is lost.

Tears of your forgiveness,
Fall on stony ground.
Impotent and faithless,
Bejewel the Serpent’s crown.

The shadow of the cross…

Temple of illusion,
And choirs of innocence.
Disguise the propaganda,
So subtle and intense.

The blood of all your martyrs,
Stain the flesh of Christ.
You are not the father,
There’s falsehood in your eyes.

______________

Your God Is Dead

Streets of death infected youth,
Fed on lies, crushing truths.
The genie’s out, the bottle broke,
This body count will make you choke.

Toxic hues from viral skies,
Tortured skulls no paradise.
Your God is dead, no cross to bare, The fruits of hell are everywhere.

This bleeding earth’s a killing ground, Seas of blood, all hell unbound.
The iron chill, the darkened sun,
The end of days has just begun.

The crawling dead are shadow free, Their judgement day just fantasy.
The world awakes to the bitter taste,
Of acid tears that burn the face.

Cult of Christ, fools of faith,
Onward bound to fall from grace. Crooked cross crying out,
Seven words of sacred doubt.

Your God is dead…

______________

Tears Of Blood

Eradicate, feel like God,
Justify all wars.
Drain out your tears of blood,
Exonerate the cause.

Blind your eyes to suffering,
Sacrifice your faith.
Cauterize the crimson tide,
That hides its shallow grave.

Barricade your blackened hearts, Ridicule the guilt.
Say goodbye to all you know,
And everything you built.

The land will bleed relentless,
Retching on your lies.
Drained of all but hatred,
Corrupt and paralysed.

______________

Resurrected

When at last the light did die,
From the depths did hell decry.
A shadow lost in wretched gloom,
Death awaits this empty tomb.

Twisted root and sinew tight,
Crushing hope with such delight.
I was dead but did not die,
Resurrected tell no lie.

Resurrected…

Hanging in this habitat,
Strangled like a gutter rat.
Raise me up and give me pain,
I am God in all but name.

I built a world of shade on sand,
Called this waste my promised land.
I was dead but never died,
Guilty born and duly tried.

______________

Rising

Malnourished sick or dead,
The shepherd kills the weak.
Many souls cursed or dead,
Know not what they seek.

Come to me my sacred child,
I’m the Lord of Hosts.
Answers in the dark,
Rise with all your ghosts.

Rising to new depths…

Judas, follow me,
Dry those burning tears.
I will erase those scars,
Take away your fears.

Bow down, believe in me.
Curse your mother’s soul.
Confess blasphemy,
Watch your martyrs’ fall.

______________

Ill Are The Cursed

A plaintiff cry in the velvet night, Drawing down the ashen light.
A broken image in a shard of glass,
Your prophecy has come to pass.

Sorrow drops like a falling leaf,
Another shade of autumn grief.
One last draught from the cup of life,
To dull the edge of winter’s knife.

Ill are the cursed,
Consigned to the flames.
Ill are the cursed,
Weighed down by your chains.

Drag your sin to the house of shame,
One last supper to ease the pain.
Break the bread, drink the wine,
Taste the wrath that will be thine.

A stone cold rose on sterile ground, Impious thorn my flesh has found. Nailed to the cross your faith will bleed, Now forsaken by word decreed.

______________

System Of Hate

Beneath a dark cross,
A mother weeps.
Alone with her loss,
While her God is asleep.

Mercy a myth,
A whisper on tongue.
Belief in the heart,
Is a song unsung.

Each bite of the lash,
Each thorn in the crown.
Each nail through the flesh,
Rips the dead from the ground.

Forgiveness a joke,
False pity a lie.
A sadistic clown,
That spits in your face.

A SYSTEM OF HATE,

Regime of distrust.
A reiver of faith.
Leaving nothing but dust.
Mercy a myth,

A whisper on tongue.
Belief in the heart,
Is a song unsung.
SYSTEM OF HATE…

"Unhallowed Ground"
Album 2016

Rogue Apostle  

Serpent Father bless me,
Your cobra breath instills,

Lift my sad existence,

Give me strength to kill.  

Rogue Apostle, Free to roam at will, Rogue Apostle, Hell born again to kill.  

Crucibles of wonder,
Burn before my eyes,
I bathe in all your splendour,
Shine O Lord of Flies.

Prostrate all contrition,
The Penitent shall rise,
I kiss the Rogue Apostle,
Rebirth is energized.

 I am now immortal,
Free of earthly chains,
Cower down before me,
Feel perdition's flames.

______________

Kiss the World (1916)

The black mouth howitzer,
Is silenced at last,
We're free from the torment,
And demonic blast.  
All is so still,
As the sun burns the sky,

Hell for a moment,
Is free from our eyes.  
Expressionless faces,
Climb over the top,
Hell reawakens,
I see bodies drop.

Comrades I knew,
Are just blown into hell,
Gutshot and wounded,
Baptised by shell.  

Wave after wave,
Are cut down in their prime,
Young hearts of courage,
Have run out of time.

All is so still,
As the sun burns the sky,
Hell for a moment,
Is free from our eyes.

______________

Crucified

Hanging like your favourite child,
From a cross of pain,
Falling through forgiving hands,
mortal son of Cain.
Every wound a nightmare,
Every thorn a curse,
Every lie redemption,
Chapter, book and verse.

Looking through the eyes of death,
On a bed of sin,
Blessed nails through sacred flesh,
Tearing deep within.
Every tomb repressing,
Every womb a trial,
Every hope diminished,
Every scar a child.

Grinning like a razor blade,
The Jester plays a tune,
A requiem for laughter lost,
In this little room.
Every note remembered,
Every chord a scream,
Every verse selected,
Kills another dream.

______________

Antichrist  

I am life, I am death,
I am light's eternal breath.
I'm the first, I'm the last,
I'm the ghost of futures past.  

Antichrist,
You Sacrifice.  

I'm the way, I'm the truth,
Resurrection without proof.
I'm belief, I am faith,
Crucifixion's holy wraith.

I'm the sword, I'm the shield,
Revelation's Seventh Seal.

I'm the fire, I'm the ice,
All creation's Antichrist.

______________

Sanatoria  

Can you hear the cockroach,
Calling through the wall?
Can you feel the tension,
Crawling down the hall?
Every sterile colour,
Pins you to the ground,
The image through the window, Condemns without a sound.  

They laugh inside, Cry inside,
They live inside, Die inside.
Sanatoria, Sanatoria, Sanatoria.

Cold electric humming,
Of artificial light,
Grieving like an insect,
Every day and night.
The captive congregation,
Melt into the night,
Swallowed by a SYSTEM,
That steals away the light.  

Can you feel the anguish?
Can you smell the fear?
Do you sense the discord?
Of everything that's here?
Every twisted outrage,
Mirrored in your soul,
All temptation gathered,
Before your final fall.

______________

Zealot's Path

One voice a thousand lies,
One book to idolize,
One heart that never beats,
One God that never bleeds.

Three nails hammered in,
One cross to purge our sin.
Who is this Lamb of God?
The path to truth where Zealots trod.

Deliver us if you can,
From the greed and lust of man.
the light you guide us by,
And we’ll believe before we die.

______________

Mutilation

Insane, fucked up, rotten to the core, Locked up, strapped down, sedated on the floor.  

I'm a well-honed predator, born to maim and kill,
Showing no emotion, bereft of any guilt.

I will flay your body, wear your skin with pride,
Butcher you relentless, rip your carcass wide.

______________

Apostle of Pain

Mantle OF thorn, tearing through flesh, Crushing the soul, poison on breath. Reality torn, nightmares unfurled, Violent unrest, destroying his world.

Apostle of Pain,
Disciple of the Nazarene.  

Flower of thought, perfume indeed, Caught in the throat, spitting disease. Judged on the cross, broken in blood, All that He's lost, torrent and flood.

______________

Killing Fields

Watch your children die,
Fading to the grave,
Harvesting the Killing Fields,
Of grief and little faith.

Your cup runneth over,
Anger fills the void,
Taking out the patriot,
The weak and paranoid.

Culture of a Nation,
Kill it from within,
Civilians are collateral,
Revenge will always win.

Scorn the sacrificed,
Embrace the never born,
Suicide salvation,
Reap the bitter storm.

______________

Unhallowed Ground  

I fell to earth,
With broken wings,
Prepared the way,
For the King of Kings.
I blessed the whore,
Of Babylon,
And cursed the songs,
Of Solomon.  

I tempted Christ,
With taste of flesh,
Forty days,
In the wilderness.
I took the key, Broke the seal,
Released the damned,
So I could feel.

I am the HATE.
The sound of war,
Bringer of pain,
On the killing floor.
I am the voice,
Inside your head,
Unhallowed Ground,
All fear to tread.

______________

Insanity

Insanity is killing me
Dissolving my integrity
The tangled web
Of all your lies
Tantalise, Demoralise.

Chorus
Insanity

I'd kill for you
Die for you
Set the world aflame
Rid the soul
Of Paradise
Expose the mortal Vein.

______________

Ashes of Divinity

Reflections of a darker light
Resonate and cry
Memories of a distant shore
Fade away and die

Echoes of eternity
Spiral through the void
Remnants of humanity
Possess the paranoid

Prophets with their twisted lies
Swear it to the grave
Carnal worlds of paradise
Enlighten and deprave

Ashes of Divinity
Halos for the damned
Broken Angels turn to stone
Curse the barren land

Post-Chorus
Ashes of Divinity

______________

The Dogs of War

The fires of vengeance eating away
Fuelling the tension the lying betrays
Banners of glory choking the sun
Blood tells the story of how it begun.

Chorus
Dogs of War - Dogs of

Evolve to conquer brutal and cold
Savage and slaughter total control
A gift of redemption only through death
Sacred accession draws every last breath.

Insidious wretches callous and cold
Armies of hatred damnation foretold
Banners of glory choking the sun
Blood tells the story of how it begun.

______________

Infected

Cancerous, Infectious
Disfigured and malign
Unrepentant terrorist
Self-righteous by design

Leprous, Salacious
Malicious to the bone
Psychopathic murder
Antichrist in stone

Chorus
Infected

Insidious, Insurgent
Volatile and raw
Insurrectious anarchist
Of pestilence and war

Gloria, Invictus
All heaven crashing down
Requiem aeternum
You're Christ without a crown

Chorus

Heavens shall burn
Dark minions will rise
Fire and thunder
Shall rain from the skies
Eden will crack
The sacred will fall
Deep in the shadow
The righteous will crawl

Chorus
Dark Winged Immortal
Hallelujah - Hallelujah
Viper Tongued Disciple
Hallelujah - Hallelujah

Honour the damned
The black dogs of war
Famine and death
Through darkness will grow
Angel of Death
Black wings of the storm
Carry the souls
Of the tortured and broke

See them pray, see them cry

See them run there's nowhere to hide
See them pray, see them cry
Don't struggle in vain, your life I claim
I Am Evil! I will watch you die

______________

Parasites In Paradise

Sold my soul to fight for lies
Fed my greed while children died
I must have took a 1000 lives
Sent their souls to Paradise

Chorus
Don't sell my soul to Paradise
I'd sell my soul I'm a Parasite
Don't open your arms to guns and knives
I'm sending you all to Paradise

I've witnessed Death and atrophy
You bought my gun not my sympathy
I have no soul or morality
Just the lust for brutality

Repeat Chorus

I have the will to kill for cash
The next assault with by my last
I need no praise from anyone
Just the words thy will be done

Repeat Chorus

I pledge my gun to the highest bid
Keep my faith and my feelings hid
I don't care if it's right or wrong
The Resistance will soon be gone

Repeat Chorus

______________

Sins Of Father

Half poisoned truths
Full blooded lies
Cold broken promises
Thorn in my side.

Chorus
Sins of father
Kill sons of father

Dark twisted faiths
Blessed holy things
Every sacred order
Paying for their sins

Repeat Chorus

One Judas kiss
Ripping through the heart
No new horizons
Hope just blown apart

Repeat Chorus

Neo chemical death
Creeping all around
The greed of tomorrow
Puts us in the ground.

Repeat Chorus
