No more shall we pray for peace Never ever ask them why No more shall we stop their visions Of selfdestructing genocide Dogs on leads march to war Go ahead end it all...
Blow up the world The final silence Blow up the world I don't give a damn!
Screams of terror, panic spreads Bombs are raining from the sky Bodies burning, all is dead There's no place left to hide Dogs on leads march to war Go ahead end it all...
Blow up the world The final silence Blow up the world I don't give a damn!
(A voice was heard from the battle field)
"Couldn't care less for a last goodbye For as I die, so do all my enemies There's no tomorrow, and no more today So let us all fade away..."
Upon this ball of dirt we lived Darkened clouds now to dwell Wasted years of man's creation The final silence now can tell Dogs on leads march to war Go ahead end it all...
Blow up the world The final silence Blow up the world I don't give a damn!
2. The Immortals
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Rise - my armies - with power - from Hell - we march...
When all their power's gone and nothing's left but shame We are the evil ones, a pestilence they say We tear their souls apart by just being what we are ...And to forever be the ones to blame
There's nothing here for us in their world of love and trust We vomit in their eyes and face them with disgust We are the tyrants of the darkness as they say ...And we will never obey
So rise - my armies - with power - from Hell - we march...
We leave your god behind, he's shaking with fright See the hatred in our eyes shining so bright Possessed by Hell itself we stand up to charge ...And rise from the flames
This is the time for vengeance, now their end is near We strike with hateful power, we have no fear We are the immortals of a never ending race ...And we shall fight 'til the end
Now the time has come For all the fools to pray Come on, face the slayer Now's your time to pay
So rise - immortals - with power - and might - we slay...
3. A Life Beyond
[Music - Fredrik; Lyrics - Johnny]
A life beyond reality, a must to reach the only way out So distant to this rotten world and I know - it isn't for me I don't care of what they say, I am myself and live my own way Like rats they run in life's eternal wheel - but they'll never get me
Hear the silent whispers, all the talking heads and see all their fake smiles Protected by a wall of laws they hide - they dare not face me Talking in circles to start confusion (but empty words they fly through my mind) With all their lies and prophecies they try - but they'll never get me
... They'll never get me
With staring eyes they follow me (it seems to be the peak of their lives) I hate you all, why can't you fuckin' see - you cannot scare me Like an image passin' by I see it ends the day that I die Until then I'll have powers left to fight - they'll never get me
... They'll never get me
All that's left to say... as I turn away I hate you all... and I will 'til I fall!!
A life beyond reality, a must to reach the only way out So distant to this rotten world and I know - it isn't for me I don't care what they say, I am myself and live my own way Like rats they run in life's eternal wheel - but they'll never get me
... They'll never get me
4. Shadows In The Deep
[Music - Fredrik; Lyrics - Johnny]
Shadows in the deep, once flesh and blood Promised to finally see the light Taking farewell of this life's mortal Hell Hope to face the master, his blessings to tell But lost are the souls who gaze into void In search for a life beyond the grave
Still shadows bleed... eternally
Shadows in the deep, longing for life Endlessly regretting the search for the light The mortal life is gone but still shadows bleed Tortured are the souls from a life without sins An eternal wait for bodily ecstasy To revel in lust, anger and greed
Still shadows bleed... eternally
Shadows in the deep, not for man to see Captured here forever, never to be free Taking farewell of this life's mortal Hell Hope to face the master, his blessings to tell But lost are the souls who gaze into void In search for a life beyond the grave
Beyond the grave... shadows still bleed... eternally
5. Countess Bathory
[Lant / Dunn / Bray] [These words taken from Venom's original version]
Wellcoming the virgin's fair, to live a noble life In the castle known to all The Count's infernal wife
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods But, when evening spreads its wings She rapes them of their blood
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory
All day long the virgins sit Feast on endless meals The Countess laughs and sips her wine Her skin both crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air One must pay the price The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory
(Countess)
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory
Living in her self-styled hell the Countess dressed in black Life so distant, death so near no blood to turn time back
The castle walls are closing in She's crippled now with age Welcomes death with open arms The Reaper turns the page
Countess Bathory Countess Bathory
6. Never Ending Hate
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Mindless people without a face Cannot stand our human race So they call us left behind We laugh with pride, stand and fight
Never ending hate
Politicians in the lead Empty brains they will feed Never trust'em not a sound Slay'em down to the ground
Never ending hate
Try to make us compromise Listen fast simple minds! No pretending, we don't care Bangin' heads everywhere
Never ending hate
Try to push us off the way Here and now is the time to slay - The lowest form of human life Are fashion wimps with lying eyes With crushing power from within Every battle we shall win Man of clay say goodbye We're unleashed step aside!
Never ending hate
7. Onward Into Countless Battles
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Off we sail from Svea shores To test our steel through out the world Soon to come a raging battle The strong will join and the weak shall fall The army of immortals rise To seek revenge of all the false So we raise the hammer high And call to Odin for a sign...
Join us in this holy war Against the world and all it stands for Crush the men of fashion's flow, The slaves of Christ and the thrells of Islam Riding on the blackest wind We can't be stopped, we cannot fail So we raise the horn of pride And drink to glory and victory...
Onward into countless battles We took the crown from sacred land Soon return to Birka shores Through storm, rain and hellish waters Men of power, strength and might Were born to live forever more So we raise the hammer high And call to Thor for a sign...
8. Crush The Skull
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Preachers of the ancient lies Hypocrisy the golden rule I'm laughing with sardonic wrath At each of your ten commands
Crush the skull - sacrifice Crush the skull - die Christ
Cursed are the poor in spirit For they shall be spat upon Cursed are the weak in mind For they shall inherit the yoke
Crush the skull - sacrifice Crush the skull - die Christ
I gaze into his glassy eyes And pluck him by the beard I uplift a broadaxe And split open his worm eaten skull
Crush the skull - sacrifice Crush the skull - die Christ
Blessed are the strong in mind For they shall possess the earth Blessed are the evil ways (the sins of life) For they shall enlight the blind
Crush the skull - sacrifice Crush the skull - die Christ
9. Bloodbath
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Eyes cry How nice Screams of pain Am I insane?
...Bloodbath
To hunt the prey Makes my day Break the bones Blood flows
Torn apart Sliced heart Stench from Hell I can tell
...Bloodbath
Cries - I hear nothing but - cries Blood - I see nothing but - blood
...Bloodbath
Night fall Victim crawl Once again I demand
...Bloodbath
Pain - I give nothing but - pain Joy - I feel nothing but - joy
...Bloodbath
10. Land Of Ice
[Music - Johnny; Lyrics - Johnny]
Silent nights Under the winter sky In the land of ice Where the snow is white Silent nights And the northern breeze In the land of ice Where my soul is free
...My land of ice
Silent nights On my ancestors ground In the land of ice Where the hooves of Sleipnir pound Silent nights And the oath is sworn In the land of ice As my son is born
...My land of ice
Silent nights Where all shadows lay In the land of ice Oh, so far away Silent nights Where my eyes can see In the land of ice I shall rest in peace
