Out of the Abyss
 

               WHITECHAPEL

               Tonight´s the night
               I long to strike
               The time is right
               Ripper

               Outside the law
               I taunt them on
               My blade is drawn
               Ripper

               It´s the blood before my eyes
               Bringing newborn life
               To this tortured mind

               I thrive and feed on fear
               Come closer now my dear
               Your Uncle Jack is here

               The hunt is on
               I´ll R.I.P. them all
               Sweet carrion
               Ripper

               Whitechapel´s lights
               Gleam off my knife
               It´s time to die
               Ripper

               Nightmare of slaughter
               Come to the daughters
               Who sell their wares

               Sadistic visions
               Bloody incisions
               On bodies bared

               Inside the chapel
               Unholy chapel
               The blood will flow

               Streets stained in crimson
               With blood of women
               Whose souls I stole

               No place to hide
               That I won´t find
               I rule the night
               Ripper

               I´ve no remorse
               Ripping your corpse
               You filthy whore
               Ripper

               Oh, can´t you see that I´m obsessed
               It´s like I´ve been possessed
               I´ll lay your soul to rest this night
               With my knife

               I´ve turned these streets to hell
               The Demon´s come to dwell
               Tolling Death´s Bell in Whitechapel,
               Whitechapel, playground of The Beast

               My friends just call me Jack

               Inside the London fog
               I stalk and slash my prey
               I come to disembowel
               And send you to your grave

               Sinful souls shall perish
               In the dead of night
               Ripping of the flesh
               Left breast removed by knife

               I have come
               The Beast of lore
               To kill again
               Now as before

               One hundred years
               Have now gone by
               And once again
               It´s ripping time

               Your Uncle Jack is back
               Tonight, I strike

               My scalpel sharp
               Cuts to the heart
               I love to carve
               Ripper

               Fit for The Beast
               A royal feast
               Of women´s screams
               Ripper

               It´s the blood before my eyes
               Bringing newborn life
               To this tortured mind

               I thrive and feed on fear
               Come closer now my dear
               Your Uncle Jack is here

               Jack The Knife
 
 

               RITES OF BLOOD

               One night among the graves
               I found a sacred place
               Where blood of life still flows
               From sacrificial blows
               Ah, hidden from light of sun
               Ah, the Rites have now begun

               Inside this sanctum
               Blood still feeds the gods
               Blasphemous Requiem
               The Rites of Blood

               I hid among the rocks
               And watched the Dance Macabre
               Upon the altar stone
               A young girl writhed and moaned
               Ah, with spikes made out of gold
               Ah, they nailed her to the stone

               Inside this sanctum
               Blood still feeds the gods
               Blasphemous Requiem
               The Rites of Blood

               Nothing sacred here
               In this place of fear
               Where the blood runs cold

               I could hear the cries
               As the virgin died
               Upon the stone

               The crimson stained altar began to glow
               As death turned into life
               The virgin tore away the spikes of gold
               Blood pouring from her eyes

               She ripped out every heart
               Tearing bodies apart
               The Accolites all dead
               She came to me and said
               Ah, I come from dust of earth
               Ah, to dust she did return

               Inside this sanctum
               Blood still feeds the gods
               Blasphemous Requiem
               The Rites of Blood
 
 

               OUT OF THE ABYSS

               Dark Kryos of space,
               Destined for life
               Creation of Fates,
               Birth of all time

               Out of Hell,
               Out of The Well,
               Cadaverous night,
               And crystal light

               Out of The Well,
               Comes the holy one,
               Son of the White Witch,
               Taliesin

               Out of The Hell,
               Comes Cthulu´s rage,
               Breather of life,
               Into The Mirrored Cage

               Eternal life is born
               Heaven and Chaos form
               The Metal tides come forth,
               Bringing the winds of war
               Out Of The Abyss
               Out Of The Abyss

               The holy peaks,
               Of Helicon,
               Come forth and speak,
               Through Muse and song

               Comes The Son,
               Taliesin
               A warrior´s tale
               Inside the Veils

               Eternal life is born
               Heaven and Chaos form
               The Metal tides come forth,
               Bringing the winds of war

               Heaven and Hell collide,
               Bringing Midgar to life,
               Into the world of light,
               Out Of The Abyss
 

               RETURN OF THE OLD ONES

               Here in the darkness
               Black Well of Chaos
               Boiling before my eyes
               In here the dead rise
               Out of the Cauldron
               Evil that never dies

               Bringer of darkness
               Demon of Chaos
               King of eternal lies
               Father of evil
               Loosing his black minions
               Into the night

               Into the Cauldron I cast my life
               Breaking the black spells of sacrifice

               Into the Chaos
               Enter the warriors
               Aryan seed of life
               War with Kthulos´
               Re-animate life forms
               Bringers of genocide

               Nightmare´s confusion
               Morbid illusions
               Wrecking the mortal mind
               I Taliesin
               Banish the Black Cauldron
               With my own life

               Into the Cauldron I cast my life
               Breaking the black spells of sacrifice, into the light

               The Old Ones shall return
               Cthulu´s words still burn
               Into the etchings of all time

               The Bardic songs of old
               Of warriors brave and bold
               Still echo magic in their rhyme

               The fire burns bright
               Inside the mind
               Through death comes life
               Blindness to sight, into the light

               Here in the darkness
               Black dreams of Chaos
               I hear Cthulu´s call
               Forever The Old Ones
               Shall be upon us
               Until they devour us all
 
 

               BLACK CAULDRON

               Dark angel of Chaos
               Cthulu comes
               Bringer of evil
               The Black Cauldron

               Dead placed in the Cauldron
               Re-animate
               Doorway to Hades
               The Old Ones´ gate

               The Old Ones bring Chaos to earth
               Conjuring Yog-Sothoth´s birth
               The fires of the Cauldron burn red
               Re-animating the dead

               With blood from the Cauldron
               The dead revive
               To war for their master
               Cthulu´s pride

               Aesir warriors
               Stand and fight
               As Chaotic nightmares
               Come to life

               The Old Ones bring Chaos to earth
               Conjuring Yog-Sothoth´s birth
               The fires of the Cauldron burn red
               Re-animating the dead
 
 

               MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN

               Inside the Big Apple´s subway
               I slept upon the midnight train
               I woke to horror and demise
               What I now call end of the line

               The Butcher´s here

               The bodies hung and all fileted
               Inside this Midnight Meat Train
               I killed the Butcher with his own knife
               But the true horror had not died

               Pale cannibals with filed teeth
               Had come as every night to feast
               They ate the tounge within my mouth
               I am the one to serve them now

               I serve the Fathers of New York
               Midnight Meat Train
 
 

               WAR IN HEAVEN

               Here before the gates of heaven
               Ancient warrior-gods are marching on
               Here arise the sons of vengeance
               Born upon the breast of every dawn
               Here the time never elapses
               Only quickening towards the fall
               Here the horde of Chaos passes
               Blindly following Cthulu´s call

               The sacred words are spoken
               The Seventh Seal is broken
               Valhalla´s doors are open
               The Fires of Mars burn on

               All waring gods are destined
               To fight until the fall
               A war made here in heaven
               The Fires burn ever on

               Into the fire
               Burning desire
               Chaotic dreams of sin

               Sacred words spoken
               Seven Seal broken
               Valhalla´s doors open

               Here the gods have come to fight
               The heavens burn this night

               Funeral pyre
               Still growing higher
               Fed with the souls of men

               Mass execution
               Chaotic solution
               To this war in heaven

               Here the gods have come to fight
               The heavens burn this night

               All waring gods are destined
               To fight until the fall
               A war made here in heaven
               The Fires burn ever on
 
 

               SLAUGHTERHOUSE

               The ires burn red,
               Like hell´s inferno
               In The Slaughterhouse

               The chainsaws roar,
               In deadly thunder
               In The Slaughterhouse

               Destined to kill
               He slays at will
               The murderer,
               Of a thousand faces

               Maddened to rage
               Feet in the grave
               Living off flesh,
               Of the victims he has slain

               In The Slaughterhouse

               No guest is safe,
               From bloody torture
               In The Slaughterhouse

               There is no place,
               You can call safe
               Inside this house,
               Is a realm of Chaos

               Enter and die
               House of black light
               Butcher of life,
               Could have you under the knife

               In The Slaughterhouse

               The corpses rot,
               Decapitated
               In The Slaughterhouse
 
 

               HELICON

               Mountain of wisdom,
               Of music and light
               Muse of all vision,
               Grant us the Waters of Life
               Seeking the mountain,
               Apollo´s sacred realm,
               Where the Muses dwell,
               Inside the Crystal Well

               Forest that echos,
               Songs of the brave
               Chidren of Delos,
               Guarding the mystical gate
               Magik the knowledge,
               Of the ancient gods
               I must carry on,
               Seeking Helicon

               I´ve crossed many wastelands,
               And sailed to all shores,
               In search of the mountain,
               Written in ancient lore
               And the in my dreaming,
               The Lady came unto me,
               To show me destiny,
               The path I was to lead

               Then came the logic,
               Truth of all life
               The gateways of Magik,
               Are centered inside the mind
               Power and wisdom,
               Knowledge and eight fold law,
               The music of the gods,
               Lives on Helicon

               The Veils of Existence,
               Gateway to the sphere
               Triad of justice,
               A riddle sung to the ear
               Darkness and Chaos,
               Bow before thy might
               Blessed be the light,
               That burns away the night

               Pegasis flying,
               Across emerald skies
               Warrior-Bards fighting,
               To open the gates of the mind
               An inner existence,
               Possessed by us all,
               Who fight till the fall,
               Here on Helicon

               War at the Gates
               Guardians of light,
               Defend The Fates,
               Into the battle, storm this night
