Shepherd of plagues, Reaver of souls Harbinger of pestilence Death follows wherever he goes Skies blacken with his presence With wings of fire, he will turn day to night He breeds destruction and disease and ends all lives You cannot hide You can pray to whichever god you choose But in the end, you will all meet your doom When he performs his deadly rite He will claim all of our lives He'll turn is into infected scum Till eventually we succumb Follow him to the other side Where only the unholy confide Death will be a sweet release While your body becomes a maggot's feast He'll make your body rot, and make the streets run red with blood Beware the Shepherd of Plagues Shepherd of plagues, Reaver of souls Harbinger of pestilence Death follows wherever he goes Skies blacken with his presence With wings of fire, he will turn day to night He breeds destruction and disease and ends all lives When he performs his deadly rite He will claim all of our lives Death will be a sweet release While you become a maggot's feast He'll make your body rot And make the streets run red with blood

These extraterrestrial beings travel the galaxy To harvest all our unborn for that is what they need They have travelled throughout the universe Making entire generations into cadavers Come with me and you will see A new dimension, born of a new reality Interdimensional extraterrestrials Who seek to harvest our babies I have seen the horrors they commit In the name of science Harvester of the Womb You can't escape their bloodlust They will come The Harvester of the Womb These extraterrestrial beings travel the galaxy To harvest all our unborn for that is what they need They have travelled throughout the universe Making entire generations into cadavers Come with me and you will see A new dimension, born of a new reality Interdimensional extraterrestrials Who seek to harvest our babies I have seen the horrors they commit In the name of science

Defile me, you succubus of souls Try as I might, I cannot escape my woes Oh how, how beautifully sick The truth is a trick This veil is thick At night she came to me And promised me eternity Her very words mean everything to me Of earth and clay I was born into this world I am nothing but a slave As I tear at these chains, my skin wears to the bone I long for a desire, a will of my own I will hear my sweet siren moan Set me free Of earth and clay, I was born into this world I am nothing but a slave I am but a soulless form and from evil I was constructed I will hear my sweet siren moan

Bow down to the devourer For he consumes all he sees There is no stopping him For he's made of pure energy He predates the dawn of time And will feed all his life Solar systems are his feast To maintain his being All hail the devourer for he will feed On all the planets and consume their energy The devourer must feed There is only one hope And that's to be his herald And offer other planets So he may spare your world But when he's picked the galaxy clean For his unending feast He'll save your world for last to quench his needs There is only one hope And that's to be his herald And offer other planets So he may spare your world All hail the devourer for he will feed On all the planets and consume their energy Hold tight to your loved ones And to your beliefs there is no stopping him Surrender to the feast Bow down to the devourer For he consumes all he sees There is no stopping him For he's made of pure energy He predates the dawn of time And will feed all his life Solar systems are his feast To maintain his being

Mortis Uxor 05:08
These demons haunt me and plague my dreams And made me done something that I can't believe What have I done? What have I done? I've killed the only one that I've loved And now her lifeless body rests in my hands I can never make amends Now her soul awaits me In Hell for eternity To take my place by her side Where I'll forever reside Now this cold-blooded murder I've committed against the adulterer Has claimed my place below In the realm of punishment and woe I accept my damned fate For I have earned my place In Hell with my wife For I have ender her life Her dismembered head sits at my table I wish it were a fable But it is the sick truth Of how I've stolen her youth God, help me for what I've done Forgive this desecration Of my wife's cuckolding soul I will gladly pay the toll

Carpe Noctum 03:22
This book of many horrors Of spells and worlds unknown This book of hellish demons and the tormentor of the souls This book of many torments For whom it falls upon Beware the Necronomicon Bound in human skin and inked in blood Authored in hell and cursed by the ones above Recite its scriptures, become a Deadite Slay all damned souls with all Hell's might Read from the pages, fall prey to the undead throne Slaughter all of the ones that you love It's too late, you've unleashed Hell Behold the havoc wreaked from the unholy spells The damned will rise again To teach the world's torment and pain The damned will rise again This book of many horrors Of spells and worlds unknown This book of hellish demons and the tormentor of the souls This book of many torments For whom it falls upon Beware the Necronomicon

Through countless lands I've ridden Each place my sword tastes blood There is no quenching this lust No help from Almighty God Many names have I been called Barbarian, heretic scum Conqueror and murderer Each night I bathe in my enemies' blood Through fire and steel Have I been bred Dismembered corpses were all I was fed My first taste was not of mother's milk But of the blood of my first kill I have lived my life Conquering and causing strife Pray you will not see me ending your life Through countless lands I've ridden Each place my sword tastes blood There is no quenching this lust No help from Almighty God Many names have I been called Barbarian, heretic scum Conqueror and murderer Each night I bathe in blood I will achieve my morbid destiny And that is to conquer all that I see Welcome to the wasteland of my mind Full of twisted visions, void of the divine And now you'll see through bloodshot eyes And feel the presence of the world's demise But be warned, for what you see Will drive you to insanity I will achieve my morbid destiny And that is to conquer all that I see And the final words muttered from my lips Will be after I've ushered the apocalypse You will need my warning But alas, the life that I live Comes with its own consequence Everything that I love dies Right before my very eyes But it is the price I must pay To this life, I'm forever enslaved
