Preyer
02:57
|
|||
|
Flying off into the moonlight to stalk upon my prey
Watching and waiting for the right time to strike on this day
Darkness cloaks my presence the place where I find solace
Feeding time is here with the winter solstice
No protection to shield the pure blood
Fear of the black fields where I come from
I am the preyer
Now say your prayers
Your flesh is mine
Now is your time
Where the moonlight shines
See the nightwalkers rise
On this very night
you die!
Leading the pack on the hunt for food
sending the hunted to inevitable doom
The struggle of survival is what drives us all
Taking control and stopping the fall
A full moon appears from the mist in the sky
Granting us strength for the meeklings to die
No one will be left behind
No survivors to find
Come now to me
Its supper time for me

Thievery of Life
03:18
|
|||
|
The instinct of man lying within conflict
The struggle to wipe the oppositions existence
Amusement of power at the fall of a coward
When he begs to be sparred for more time in a dying world
The blade makes contact with his dreadful human skin
Peeling the flesh from his arm where he sins
The blood rushes out where the knife has entered
I feel his soul flow through the blade to within me
His life disappears from his carcass
Power is granted to my body
A cleansing feeling strikes my mind
A fog clears in my head
I feel at piece with myself and all around me
My mind feels free
His suffering is done
His death is shunned
The battle is won
Yet the thievery of life continues to run
Idolized I am
A new chapter to begin
A bold new face of strength from within
Brake down the boundaries of apathy I once beheld
A new spirit has come form the fires of hell

Soul Harvest
03:35
|
|||
|
Ripping my sword across the grasslands a spill of blood with every strike
Quenching my thirst for the mortal man on a full moon bloody night
Feeding time is here I need all the freshest flesh I can take
Or I shall starve and my power drains out as I meet a terrible fate
Time is of the essence
until the moon is set
this land will be a warfield
of screams and hasty death
Showing of power
Man pays the toll
I seek nourishment
Feeding on their souls
My immortality
powered by enemies
those who wish to see me
and my kind wiped away from sea to sea
Come to me my meekling prey
No prisoners for me, no one to stay
On your knees, just try to pray
It will be to late youll have your life taken away
I am the harvester
bring me your soul
this is my quest
now pay the toll
No more reigning blood
From a vampiric sky
all mortals shall perish
no souls left behind
man for the taking
not one life wasted
something is burning
and it smells like hatred
I am the harvester
bring me your soul
this is my quest
now pay the toll
I have awakened from my tomb
leading my children, sending man to his doom
No prisoners are needed
Soon your race will be defeated
From our graves we rose
to this world we have chose
Locked out of the nether regions
Stuck in human hunting season
Come to me my meekling prey
No prisoners for me, no one to stay
On your knees, just try to pray
It will be to late youll have your life taken away

Genocidal Supremacy
03:12
|
|||
|
Across the ocean of history
There lies tales of monstrosities
Fueled by animosity
The ignition of idiocy
The only way to reign supreme in this world is to steal a life
Suffocate the peace between two forces and watch one die
Bloodshed across the field in hope for the upper hand to be wield
Hells soldiers unearthed
reign of terror re birthed
Death and agony contaminates the air
Screams and cries of loss and despair
To fight for your life shows a passion for mortality
Conquerors of death showing genocidal supremacy
kill or be killed is the way of this world

Fortress of Solitude
04:06
|

Deep inside these walls
My queit domain
My safe haven
Your house of pain
I bid you welcome to my darkened chambers
Not a thing resides here but me
All is quiet, all is at peace
Resting in the shadows
till the sun sets the day
my enemies can never get here
theyll never find me
Planning my attack
Hitting hard and striking fast
Nourishing my strength
with my vampiric brothers
Hidden from the mortal scum
Here we all become one
One unstoppable immortal force
Shielded by impenetrable doors
Joined by unbreakable walls
Nothing can make them fall
I rest as much as I need to
In my Fortress of solitude
Deep in the cold dead forest
a gathering takes place
not of mortal humans
but the nightwalkers race
A safe home for the vampyrian army
rich findings of strength and glory
resting in the suns hours
every single day

Planes of Oblivion
03:48
|
|||
|
Fields of Nihil
Land of nothing
void of darkness
Planes of oblivion
Isolated from every living creature
Is this where the tainted go
Banished in this endless prison
tormenting their soul
I only want just to survive and make something of my life
My immortal flesh and blood locked me away from the rest of mankind
These fields have not one blade of grass growing upon them
this land has not one sign of living breathing life
this void is a realm of emptiness
these planes are abandoned with nothingness
how am i the only walking wretch standing on dust
my soul wrapped in chains only left to rust
i was already punished with never ending life
how did I get here, did i die?
My time can't be up yet
I must be flirting with death
I still must finish my quest
until im put to rest

The sun falls under the earthly horizon when the first shade shade of black touches the sky
The moon becomes a clear beacon in the void as the night walkers spread their wings to fly
Creatures of nocturne awake from slumber and roam the darkened grounds
Scouting their homes and sacred lands for any fresh blood to be found
I journey out of my tomb and into the crowd for my nightly affairs and deeds
Living by the shadows to cover my skin from into who I will sink my teeth
Living out the rest of eternity with this curse inside mortal skin
I inflict my agony on the free born scum for their wrongings and their sins
Father Dracula, I will continue what you started
May your legacy live on in shadows of darkness

Lost
07:30
|
|||
|
Spiraling downward and downward in a never-ending suspended nightmarish atrocity
I, a deformed grotesque specimen have been banished to this physical plain of existence to meet my immortal exile and surpass all other physical life
Freedom to suffer out my eternity
Shunned by my prey I walk the night alone
No direction but my own creation
Living out this new found sickness in its infancy
The trail into the future is vague and suffocated by a black fog
Hell envies my hatred and infamy under my cursed blessing
An odd urge and thirst is stirring inside me
The taste of their blood intrigues me
In this realm, I am all alone
Shall I fade into solitude or make it my own
Deep dead silence woods
Smothered in pitch black fog
I am lost
but in what way
I have accepted my envisioned fate
What more is there to take
All other supernatural forces have abandoned me
I have nothing left but myself to kill for
The sunlight is my only way out
Do I end my legacy by the suns burning rays?
Or continue to live out this wretched embodiment of what man calls evil?
In this realm, I am all alone
Shall I fade into solitude or make it my own
Deep dead silence woods
Smothered in pitch black fog
I, I am lost
