Miserable Creator
06:07
|
|||
|
In the beginning there was nothing
And in the void dwelled deceitful supremacy
Yet with arrogance in his hands
Omnipotence, decaying upon the land
Within righteous glory sits the creator
Who conceived the light and the dark
Who foresaw the atrocities of his creations
both flesh and divine
Yet still commands what shall not be
Punishment rests in his hands
The rebellious shall endure his wrath
As the adversary takes shape in the lowest of forms, crawling in mud
In the eyes of the devout he is wicked
In new eyes he sheds the greatest light
Atop a crumbling throne, he perpetuates the ignorance which occludes vision and mind
To be weak is to be miserable, The weakest force is that of the proud God
Unloving, unjust, prejudiced tyrant humanity suffers at his will
High aloft he hacks at his wrists and throat
Bleeding his creation into oblivion
They are what makes him real
A fading deity in a tepid sermon
Bloody hands modeling failure after failure
Clay cast aside as frustration mounts
Feverishly scrambling to regain his power
He’s overcome with rage
Spoiling minds with tales of untruths
Humanity spiraling into fanaticism
A jealous god looms over the masses
Feebly attempting to impose his will
Gnashing his teeth he sneers at his creation
As Satan gains power through chaos
Darkness descends over the holy kingdom
Dimming the light of God
In his absence ascends truth
As the world turns its back
Sputtering in agony
The creator dies as faith depletes
The gates reduced to rubble
Golden halls, patinated and desolate
His corpse reduced to dust

Anno Domini Satanas
06:02
|

The morning star awakens
Burning as he breaks his chains
The destroyer of light, disputer of the lamb
We shall lay waste to the children of god
Anno Domini Satanas
Together we rise and bring this day
Anno Domini Satanas
To set this world ablaze
With burning hatred for all mankind
Sickened by the sight of Christianity
Building a funeral pyre
Burn them all to ashes
Global murder, forsake the father
Defile the followers of god
Sever them for the feast of flesh and blood
Angels of heaven shall suck our cocks
Anno Domini Satanas
Together we rise and bring this day
Anno Domini Satanas
To set this world ablaze
Heaven will be destroyed
The time of god is over
Lucifer’s laws stake claim
We willfully enjoy
Hunting down those
Who oppose his reign
Tearing through earth, swing open the gates of hell
Storming skies churn, the oceans swell
An infernal army emerges, grounds crack and trees uproot
Marching legions of demons with orders to kill or recruit
Scorching the land, with purifying flame
Produces a blank canvas for Lucifer to claim
The fallen angel, commands a cleansing absolute
Your so called faith is the shit beneath our boots
A new sun will rise
Black as the abyss
Bathing the earth
In darkness
Unabated aversion manifests
Decimation awaits those who resist
An era of freedom
The world across
Unchained from morality
Devoid of the cross
In nomine Luciferi Excelsi!
Ave Satanas!

Armageddon Warriors

Armageddon warriors ride
Purify the land of holy lies
Repent unto the serpent and become free
Soldiers of steel, flame and blasphemy.
We hasten the holy, to their empty judgement with steel and flame
Preaching of revelations, spewing filth and threats unfulfilled
We alone come on horses of war, famine, pestilence and death
You beg for rapture to vacant skies
Ashes to ashes, Armageddon rise
You pray for forgiveness as you meet your demise
Ashes to ashes, Armageddon rise
Riding forthright, we scour the land through the night
Places of worship ignite, casting the glow of Lucifer’s light
A cavalcade of Hell, composed of the infidels
An unholy war, all religion we shall expel
Armageddon warriors, into battle ride
Armageddon warriors, slay the priest of all lies
Armageddon warriors, into battle ride
Armageddon warriors, slay the priest of all lies
Strength in faith makes weak the mind
Your suffering now, pain is divine
Screams of mercy, no gods intervene
Purified with flame, eliminate the unclean
Armageddon warriors, into battle ride
Armageddon warriors, slay the priest of all lies
Armageddon warriors, into battle ride
Armageddon warriors, slay the priest of all lies
Mass graves brim, millions of deceased
We drink to the new world, as we gather to feast
Eyes frozen open, stare upwards toward the sky
Their dreams of heaven, of Jannah, denied
Armageddon warriors ride
Purify the land of holy lies
Repent unto the serpent and become free
Soldiers of steel, flame and blasphemy.

Bring forth the benighted
The faithful, the unenlightened
Bring out your pamphlets, produce your scrolls
All you deem blessed as sacred objects of control
Gather your scriptures cloths and relics all the same
Throw them to the flame
Burn all to ash, melt the medals, crush the stone
Line up the leaders, dripping fuel from their robes
Castrate and burn them, strew their ashes amongst the weak
So they may witness and bathe in their defeat
The truly enlightened understand the folly of the path they never followed
It’s the age of redemption, retribution, extinction of the hallowed
The god fearers, begging as they worshipped, on their knees
The time is now to rescue humanity
And the earth from this disease
Streets fill with screams of their holy leaders, begging to be saved
Burning alive, the fire so bright, glowing coals now are the souls of the enslaved
Guilty just the same are the children, minds soured though we tried to dissuade
Feeble minds corrupted by their elders, boil in flames as they continue to pray
Line up the brainwashed pawns, the young and the old
Anyone who kneels before nothing, and simply does what they’re told
Bind them together, stripped down to bare skin
Raise the blade under their chin, simple questions and the cure begins
Are you of faith?
Are you a follower?
Do you believe?
Do you think you are a martyr?
Lifeless lumps fall side by side.
No eulogy for those who die.
The streets are filled with a crimson tide.
And the blood flows like wine.

Nox Aeterna
07:56
|

Ash descending from the heavens above
Soot covered faces desperately seeking
Tragedy strewn all around
Scorched bodies cover the ground
On silver wings darkness came with fire in the name of Allah
Unsuspecting victims oblivious to their intentions
Willingly board their last flight
A land once bright now condemned to eternal night
Allahu Akbar they scream
He’s filled with a martyr’s dream
A flash of light in pieces they lay
Carrion birds feast upon decay
The believers and absent of faith become one and the same
Empty vessels of hopes and dreams
Pulled from rubble, limp and lifeless
Darkness encompassing the land in the name of Islam
And as the pillars burn
Smoke eclipses the horizon
Mindless devotion
From this world must be excised
Sprinting toward their execution
Unaware of the horrors ahead
Dismembered maimed and mangled
Turn the streets into their death bed
Pummeled with attack after attack
When will the tolerance end
Splattered aftermath of a bomb
In the name of Islam
Poisoned ideology
Suicidal misology
Dying for a prophecy
Exploiting the weakness of empathy
Nox Aeterna
Religion’s ultimate creation
Nox Aeterna
Drown the light from this land
Until all that’s left
Is the enlightened man

Raped By A Demon
04:16
|

|
Immaculate molestation of the virgin whore.
Disguised as the omnipotent one.
Sewing seeds of damnation she squirmed for more.
Conception of deception she became the Devil’s whore.
Dreaming of the messiah growing inside her.
Not knowing the mark of the beast is upon her.
Antichrist inside warming her heart with delights
The fluid spills
The time has come for the arrival
Fire flicking her clit.
As a demons cock does split her hymen.
Her virgin blood as sacrifice.
All hail the son of Satan.
This cunt is raped by demons.
With her screams of agony
Comes serpent eyes and a forked tongue
Presents displayed before the one they all adore
Wrapped in fine linen and presented a crown of thorns
The son of faith is denied
A savior of man is born
A beastly maturation
Surveying the world through the snake’s eyes
Fulfill the prophecies and bring
Total annihilation

Sacrifice The Scripture
08:45
|

|
In the presence of this congregation
I ask to whom do you pay homage
Cowering upon your knees
With holy scriptures in your hands
The lord for whom you beg forgiveness
Cast no eyes upon this land
It is we who come to save you, now take my hand
Cast down that which enslaves you
And denounce all that you have been taught
Sacrifice the scripture and forget the holy names
With fire and blasphemy you will be born again!
Archaic indoctrination spreads like a disease throughout all lands
Childish fables allowed to flourish in the minds of man
With twisted brains overflowing with prejudice and hate
Man-made god and god made man so who’s really to blame
Countless faiths and countless creators all so sure they’re right
Mankind is left to suffer the murder, hatred and plight
For this we demand a sacrifice to be made
Not of flesh and blood, but in ink and paper it must be paid
Countless faiths and countless creators all so sure they’re right
Mankind is left to suffer the murder, hatred and plight
For this we demand a sacrifice to be made
Not of flesh and blood, but in ink and paper it must be paid
Create a fire that will burn so bright
Sacrifice the scripture upon the Obsidian Shrine
Thousands of years have come and gone with no progress
Minds bound by faith, eternally suppressed
Buried in scripture, blinded by deceit
Studying the art of enslavement, authored by the elite
Neglecting carnal urges for the hope of paradise
Controlled, manipulated, tongues stuck in a vise
Force fed a fairy tale, brainwashing the youth
Worshipping, following, ignorant to the truth
Clinging to prophesied rewards upon death
Genocide, massacres, praising god till the last breath
Gripping the pages, oh how the words connive
Praying to god as if you were ever really alive
Free yourself of torment, of guilt, of regret
Sacrifice the scripture allow yourself to forget
Release yourself of dogmatic constraints
Renounce your savior and be truly born again
Down with the walls of Jerusalem
Expose the secrets of the Vatican
Publish what is hidden, all that’s held within
Annihilate mecca, set the Kaaba ablaze
Despoil every temple, every venue of praise
Wipe religion from the world without a trace
Approach the shrine
And free your mind
Of religious malignancies
Erase your faith
And embrace
Profligacy
Sacrifice the scripture
Cast down that which enslaves you
Sacrifice the scripture
Forget the holy names
Sacrifice the scripture
Cast down that which enslaves you
Sacrifice the scripture
Sacrifice the scripture

It's like if Suffocation had current-day Immolation production with the thick sound that's slightly round at the edges. This is high quality death metal, performed and recorded well.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
