Town Bell
04:21
|
|||
Plagued by fear and the marching hours of this aching night
Death comes near in the absence of light
Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
Fresh corpse in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell
The cursed dead will fill themselves with life from my pulsating throat tonight
Blighted fight, nocturnal bite
Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
A fresh corpse found in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell
Risen from a shallow grave
Kill by kill, regaining form
A lonely soul that could not be saved
Born again, violent storm
Morning draws near
Even the great hunter must sleep
It must disappear
As all the villagers weep
Sound the town bell
Hear the death knell
A fresh corpse found in the glistening mud
A vagrant creature in search for blood
Sound the town bell

Hex Rite
04:13
|
|||
Sharpen the blade
Split the bone right in two
Boil the fair maiden's braid
Let the hex rite go through
Raise your white flags
For the covenant of hags
In the heart of deceit
We're all obsolete
Raise your white flags
For the coven of hags
Drink from the teat
Crush the eye of a twin
Blood and milk mixed in heat
White faced, haggard grin
Raise your white flags
For the covenant of hags
In the heart of deceit
We're all obsolete
Raise your white flags
For the coven of hags
Raise your white flags
For the covenant of hags
In the heart of deceit
We're all obsolete
Raise your white flags
For the covenant of hags

Graveyard Ecdysis
03:19
|
|||
The wine has no taste
The food goes to waste
More and more displaced
My many faults retraced
My master asked me this:
Do you want the nocturnal kiss?
I shed the being that is me
Reborn beneath, just to be free
My master asked me this:
Do you want nocturnal bliss?
It's sad it had to come to this
Witness my graveyard ecdysis
Servants see the change
During night they pray
I am violent, new and strange
They must burn today
My master asked me this:
Do you want the nocturnal kiss?
I'll shed the being that is me
Reborn beneath, just to be free
My master asked me this:
Do you want nocturnal bliss?
It's sad it had to come to this
Witness my graveyard ecdysis
Tales of the living dead, who follow strangers in the night
And corpses which devour their own flesh
Beings beyond death
A curse that will last until the end of time
The curse of the vampire
My master asked me this:
Do you want the nocturnal kiss?
I'll shed the being that is me
Reborn beneath, just to be free
My master asked me this:
Do you want nocturnal bliss?
It's sad it had to come to this
Witness my graveyard ecdysis

Sunrise Cult
04:24
|
|||
We arm ourselves with the righteous light
Gather and fight
We will unearth the grave and let the light inside
The heart so grim
Free from sin
The sunrise cult
Tonight begins a festival of exult
Like candles they will burn
Burn
Burn
With silver, wood and light they will ignite
The rotten we'll smite
Free from sin
The sunrise cult
Tonight begins a festival of exult
Like candles they will burn away our sins
The sunrise cult
Tonight begins a festival of exult
Like candles they will burn
Full moon rising this cursed night
White cloaks glint in the starlight
Rob the graves of their deceased
Put an end to their nightly feast
The superstitious gather in the mud
With pikes drenched in rotten blood
Oh, how fast deception spread
Better make sure the dead stays dead

Vampiric
03:56
|
|||
They all know what you have done
You could hide but the great hunt has begun
For you
Chaos on deck
In the cold they are missing
Drained from the neck
Last night they saw us kissing
Parasite on board
Vampiric bloodlust
Pray to the good Lord
In light he'll combust
The hidden in dust
Who can we trust?
Engulfed by fog
Vessel of the dead
Bodies afloat in the great bog
The passengers dread
That the unknown plague will spread
They all know what you have done
You could hide but the great hunt has begun
For you
Chaos on deck
In the cold they are missing
Drained from the neck
Last night they saw us kissing
Kill to survive
Kill to thrive
Set fire to the hive

Blood Healer
03:30
|
|||
Open your vein
Let me relieve the pain
Drain the blood of the slain
I promise, you will stay the same
You cannot abstain
You got so much to gain
I will rattle your tired brain
With my talent arcane
The cure for you
Blood healing
I have the cure for you
And I know it's all so new
Drink from the vial
Put your soul on trial for me
No need for denial
The potion is working
Just you wait and see
What are you going to do
With that skin, so pale and blue
Show me gold and gems
I'll be the best of friends
The cure for you
Blood healing
You will feel like new
For you
Blood healing
You will feel like new

Barrowborn
04:12
|

Black tomb
Growing inside the dark mound
Earth womb
Emergence from the dark of another place
New born
Escape the cradle of mold
Forlorn
A being full of hate for all of mankind
Barrowborn
A creature of the dark night
The bloody thorn
The coming frostbite
Barrowborn
Let loose
Prowling outside of the light
Induce
Perturbation in the minds of the
Weak prey
Contempt for all of the living
New way
Reshaping death for humanity
There are more horrible things than death
Enduring centuries, unable to grow old
The pain of experiencing the same futile things each day
Profound as a thousand nights, the abyss that is time
Barrowborn
A creature of the dark night
The bloody thorn
The coming frostbite
Barrowborn

Forest Regalia
05:11
|
|||
Listen to the pain
Can you not hear them?
Sing the dying chorus
Seek the withered stem
Linger in our shadow
Afraid of our beauty
Crowns hide the living glow
Seek the death of duty
Forest regalia
Fit for any king
No need for a golden ring
No need for anything
Forest regalia
Crown of leaves
Unrooted scepter
Damn thieves
We could have kept her
Seek the guiding light
Please hear our plight
Survival is our birthright
Forest regalia
Fit for any king
No need for a golden ring
No need for anything
Forest regalia
Crown of leaves
Unrooted scepter
Damn thieves
We could have kept her

Spirit Linked
03:53
|
|||
Heed the call of faceless stars
And let our screams form within
Watch over what is ours
You don't need to take my hand
Together we stand
Daggers against claws
We're conquerors because ...
Soul bound and spirit linked
I'll let our people become extinct
Before I leave you behind
Soul bound are the spirit linked
We are both kin and we have always been
Heed the call of faceless stars
And let our screams form within
Watch over what is ours
I am the shield on your back
Together we meet sorrow and strife
We're conquerors because ...
Soul bound and spirit linked
I'll let our people become extinct
Before I leave you behind
Soul bound are the spirit linked
We both are kin and we have always been
If you go I will go
If you're low, I am low too
But I know that we will grow

The Coveted Nectar
03:50
|
|||
Let the right one in
Her with the covetous grin
It's like you've always been
Pressed against my dying skin
The coveted nectar
Only for the pale collector
Extract the essence iridescent
Under the moon crescent
Gather the nectar
There's no antidote
Present your throat
For the specter
On the threshold we stand
Our distance so grand
I reach for your dead cold hand
Reduce everything to sand
The coveted nectar
Only for the pale collector
Extract the essence iridescent
Under the moon crescent
Gather the nectar
There's no antidote
Present your throat
For the specter
The feeling in your heart
An emptiness that contains everything
The coveted nectar
Only for the pale collector
Extract the essence iridescent
Under the moon crescent
Gather the nectar
There's no antidote
Present your throat
For the specter
