Eternally Haunt (album, 1995, Metal Merchant Records) (CD)
1. Opening A Doorway Into The Cult (Intro) / Beyond The Grave 5:43
Peel the fire from the candle
Burn close my eyes
Now it is my turn to contact the dead visions dancing in my head
Consult the Ouija
Don't believe the things I see
The spirits of the dead
Oh all through the night
Search for power taking control
Driven by fear of the unknown
Search to find the meaning I crave
From beyond the grave
Seance of the dead has begun
Necromantia higher from
Beyond the grave
Master Satan show the way
He turns to face me
Evil power doesn't come for free
Conjured demons beckoned arise
And haunt me through the night
Can't escape this nightmare I see
Can't believe the pain is so real
Can't describe in mortal sayings
They haunt me through the night
Seance of the dead has begun
Necromantia higher from
Beyond the grave
Master Satan show the way
He turns to face me
Evil power doesn't come for free
Conjured demons beckoned arise
And haunt me through the night
Cast out evil demons inside
Necromanicide
Eternal life cast out
Cast out!
2. Sounds Of Sorrow 5:08
As it is so it shall be
All the things that make you fear
Terrors unseen you'll see
And steals your screams as it tears
And the please for you life
Go unheard as your blinded eyes
Peer into the dark
Sounds of abyss
Sounds of sorrow
Remorse and regret
Sounds of sorrow
Eternally haunt
And the end will never come
Blackness come surround
Horrors real for you to share
And no one even cares
So the beast within you blackened your heart
As your blinded eyes peer into the dark
Sounds of abyss
Sounds of sorrow
Remorse and regret
Sounds of sorrow
Eternally haunt
Sounds of sorrow
Eternally haunt
You don't believe Hades
Damnation for the wicked
You're waiting for your grave your destiny
Won't you be surprised
Damnation your fate arrives
I promise you
You will believe
Ah you will believe
So the fear that's deep inside you
Comes alive when you're alone
I can feel it in your eyes
You can't deny the truth you know
Souls asphyx in pain
Deafening screams
Sounds of sorrow
Eternally haunt!
3. The Mastery 4:31
Why must you hunt for me?
Black fills my thoughts of what you want
Death awaits the fate of all my desires
As you seek control over the darkened depths of my soul
It's time to plant your seed
Blood of mine becomes the wine that we consume
I ride myself of my only need
As you impale my mind and become a part of me
Mad crazed violent
What have I done?
This crucifix holds nothing for me
Now screaming in pain
The heavens watch us as I drown
Spirits controlling my mind
Mad crazed and violent
Now possessed I must do thy will
As you speak commands
All left to do is die!
Mad crazed violent
4. Legion 6:15
Demoniac shattering the chains that bind
Down in the cemetery
Demons rape his mind
Inhuman screams cast to fear
Demise begins in chains
Not from without from within
Legion
Who are you that you drive this man insane?
I am Legion for we are many
What have I done to thee?
What is this torment for?
Now be gone from this man thou unclean spirits, go!
Legion
Out from the tombs exceeding fierce
Jesus Son of God torment me not
If thou cast us out by God cast us to the swine
Legion of the night
Cast the evil eye
Condemned must lead
The blind sewn inside
The seeds of pain
Received by ways of fire
Cold darkness torn by thorns
Tempter born of scorn
Slayer of the Lord
But even Legion fears I AM
They cower in their fright
Tremble in fear!
He has come to set me free
Since the mastery
My mind's been locked away
But I can feel the demon's fright
Out let me out let me
Nothing I can do
Not even take my life
But I can feel the demon's fright
Out, let me out, let me out, let me out!
Legion of the night
Cast the evil eye
Condemned must lead
The blind sewn inside
The seeds of pain
Received by ways of fire
Cold darkness torn by thorns
Tempter born of scorn
Slayer of the Lord
But even Legion fears I AM
They cower in their fright
Tremble in fear!
Legion
How can Satan cast out Satan
A house divided cannot stand
If Satan rises against himself
He has an end
GET OUT!
5. The Return 7:03
I depart
Driven out by the Lord
Sabaoth the ancient one
You called upon
And I spent many aimless wandering nights
Searching for another wretched soul
Many dry forsaken places
Finding never a dark place to rest
I returned to this place
From which I came
Unholy restless spirit that am I!
I arrive at the door
I once called home
Unlatched I gained my entrance easily
And I laughed
An empty room was all I found
Unblemished still unoccupied
Evil notion
I searched for demons
I had passed and gathered seven
Much more evil than I
Now we dwell your
Rancid soul is now our home
Your last state is worse than your first!
You have fallen to the fallen
Gone was thee evil spirit that once occupied
Now you've returned evil spirit
Seven more wicked by your side!
I remained occupied, you've returned occupied!
Seven more wicked by my side
Ah, you've occupied
Gone was thee evil spirit that once occupied
Now you've returned evil spirit
Seven more wicked by your side!
6. Despair 2:26
(Instrumental)
7. Shades Of Death 4:13
These walls were put up long ago
They protect me from the blast
These stones have become my best friends
My hopes that they will last
Cracked and scarred from pounding wars
A stream of light breaks through
An omen of upcoming fate
Alone what can I do?
Shades of death, beautiful
Poison beauty silhouettes
The cold gray stones I trust
I know that once the crumbling starts
My world will turn to dust
How can I be strong enough
To keep these walls undefiled
All hell seems to have broken loose
My God I'm just a child!
Shades of death, beautiful
These walls were put up long ago
They protect me from the blast
These stones have become my best friends
My hopes that they will last
If they falter I will die
So I'll stand tall and strong
But please my God just hear my cries
Is what I'm doing wrong?
Shades of death, beautiful
8. Steel Jaws Of Fate 3:53
In the past there was this evil
Every turn I chose to take
Sent me deeper into the dark
Taking hold of fate's cold hand
Pleasure to pleasure to promised land
Ignoring warnings of who these demons are
Raped again my mind is fading
As Death approached I closed my eyes
Living dead my time had come to die
Knowing that I'd gone too far
I see my savior Morning Star
Stupid fool I just turn away
Casting doubt on future dreams
Can't hold a candle to Satan's flame
Will this be the end?
Will this be the end?
Evil's mounting up once more
Locked behind closed doors
Summoning hell's fire from the dark
Sharpened claws rip through my flesh
I'm holding on to my last breath
Will this be the end of my hellish war?
On through the night
Enduring the fight
Price on my head
Sentenced to death
Fighting, warring with Satan
Caught in the steel jaws of fate
Fighting, dying in fate's hand
Caught in the steel jaws of fate
My only hope surviving this vicious hit
Only the strong survive, yeah
My only hope surviving this vicious hit
His Spirit within alive
Blackened hill rise again
Blood sacrifice, pain and death
Crucified and whipped to the bone
Face the God-man
Eat His flesh, drink His blood
And cremate Death
Cast to the grave to rise again
On through the night
Enduring the fight
Price has been paid
Eternally saved!
Fighting, warring with Satan
Caught in the steel jaws of fate
Fighting, dying in fate's hand
Caught in the steel jaws of fate
9. Possessed 4:15
I pray you are not a dream
Or a demon playing with my head
An angel to be fed
My soul is now possessed
So we made a pact
On that sacred night
Nothing would ever tear
Our souls apart
Not even Death or Hell could overcome
Do you recall
Do you remember me?
The pact we made was for eternity
So dark as you appeared to me
But you're the fire that burns in me
You're the light in my soul
Predestined life forevermore
The blood of the covenant
Creates the narrow path
The Ghost invites to show the way
Do you recall
Do you remember me?
The pact we made was for eternity
Take my hand
I'll lead you on your way
Take my hand
And watch the way I bleed in the dark
The light is tearing through
In the dark I scream for you
When you are possessed by the possession you'll be mine!
10. Rebirth 6:33
Touching now the sacred flame
We find ourselves alive
Seeing clearly by His light
We will survive
Burning of our eyes and flesh
Are how but memories
Sound of steel our shackles fall
Finally we are free
Got our second wind and we
Are ready for the fight
We destroy unmercifully
Yes Death may die
Killing is a way of life
For if we die we live
We defy the Dark One
Make a mockery of the grave
In this sign we conquer
I will fight until I see you die
In this sign we conquer
I won't still until I see you die
In this sign we conquer
I will fight until the day I die!
Purge and burn the kingdom earth
Make light of all its ways
Confound the wise with the truth
It's time to pay
Answer all their accusations
We will never fall
Hear their cries, smash their dreams
By the One we hail
They in confusion gather force
Attack aimless and wild
We crush their hopes to rule again
Cowards they hide
Still we seek to blackest depths
To end their will to live
The Crucified requires a death
To the cross we hail!
In this sign we conquer
I will fight until I see you die
In this sign we conquer
I won't still until I see you die
In this sign we conquer
I will fight until the day I die!
Weapons
Our weapons of war will never fail
Demons
They fall beneath the hail
Golgotha
The cross by which we dominate
Sheol
The place of your wretched fate!
At war with Satan and the Beast
We'll desecrate his name
Tell the truth to all nations
Minimize his gain
Until we see him burn in hell
And pay for what he's done
We will never turn our backs
Or lay our weapons down
And in the end they'll watch us rise
To rule this world
Of hate torched and torn
All of those who desecrate
Conquered masses burned alive
No prayer professed will save
Captive is the Dark One
And his host with him enslaved
His host with him enslaved!
Scourge & Fire (EP, 1997, Independent) (3" CD)
1. Scourge & Fire 4:38
Search me out
Early in the day
Spare the club
Rot the child away
Because they loved you
Lacerate
To drive out what you hate
This ritual
To break the bond of sin
Comes from you
Master of my ways
I bow before you
Skinned alive
Trials by fire have begun
Battles of the flesh
A war!
The valley of the shadow of death
Satan's requests you grant
To drive the thorn
Deep in my flesh
It's my gain
To suffer for you
You put me through the fire
To burn up all the chaff
This elevates my soul higher
The gates of hell shall not prevail
Shall not prevail!
Rise
Take up the cross I bear
Hold my hand
And then proceed to nail
As we hang still
Bathed in blood
The blood has power
To raise the dead
I'm alive
By the blood of Christ
I offer myself
A living sacrifice
And I bow before you
Skinned alive
2. Danse Macabre 5:28
Don't mourn for me when death has come
For I've nothing more to give
Don't cry for me as you lay me down
For I've just begun to live
And don't let your eyes wander to my grave
For I will not be there
Just let the eternal, possessed gaze
Fill your empty stare
Don't want no flowers
No last respects
I have no regrets
I've battled principalities, with honor I'll die
My words, they stand the test
The test
I know you cannot see past what is happening here
Spirit world, grim fairy tale
Just try to remember what I have said
Your faith is where you fail
I am immortal, I'll never rest in peace
My death will be my gain
And as for death, you can laugh at him too
I am immortal, I'll never rest in peace
My death will be my gain
(Just) let this possession possess you
And dance upon my grave
I know you cannot see past what is happening here
Spirit world, grim fairy tale
Just try to remember what I have said
Your faith is where you fail
3. Shrine (King Diamond cover) 3:48
The night is rising my eyes.
Even in the dark I know I'm alive.
I am burning for you, yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night.
Breaking the changing sleep of night.
I see your face, I can't deny it.
Darkness you are a holy shrine.
The night, awake us tonight.
This is where we all meet.
The ones left behind.
I am burning for you, yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night.
Breaking the changing sleep of night.
I see your face, I can't deny it.
Darkness you are a holy shrine.
Darkness you are a holy shrine.
The night, awake us tonight.
This is where we all meet.
The ones left behind.
I am burning for you, yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night.
Breaking the changing sleep of night.
I see your face I can't deny it.
Darkness you are a holy shrine.
I am burning for you.
I am burning for you.
