Open the cage door, let the doe to the hounds
Screams in the halls are the only sounds
From shadows, I stalk my human being prey
Their lives are just toys with which to play
Waiting for the victim trapped within this torture house
Tearing them apart after I pounce upon the mouse
When they’re within an inch of life, I throw them in a cage
Laughing as they sob and weep and cry out from their rage
Taking life to constitute my own
Seeking immortality within the stone
Walls of my domain hiding inside the dark
Ruling alone as an undying patriarch
Your body is just like a doll
Thrown about in these decrepit halls
Once I’m done, your carcass won’t be found
Left to rot within my hunting grounds

Chainsaw Cannibal
04:32
|
|||
The cattle slaughterhouse lies silent in the lonely plains
The rural drought of fresh meat brings my empty stomach pain
The daily flesh of any animal is what I crave
It’s time to go hunting for the most dangerous game
Local legends lure curious fools my shack
They go down with just one whack, then I begin to hack
The roar of my chainsaw is the last thing they all hear
I savor the screaming and tears as I amplify fear
Their broken legs will keep my livestock from running away
The strips of meat and slabs of flesh will last for many days
My chainsaw carves through human flesh to throw up on the hooks
I throw out their bones, hair, and clothes, then I begin to cook
I grind up someone’s child into heaps of human beef
Their pleading parents on the radio cause me no grief
The missing posters go up with the faces of my prey
When they’ve already gone through the pipes as brown sewage waste
I sit at the table head and prepare a rare steak
The browned flesh looks nothing like the people that I take
Humans are animals, no reason to see them as more
Peel away the skin and they’re just sacks of blood and gore
When they’re gone, it’s like gutting a nameless pig or cow
Telling apart faces is like telling apart sows
I bite into their flesh and can’t wait til more meat arrives
The spinning teeth of my chainsaw will end their worthless lives

Rusting in Thunder
02:34
|

Fruits - dying on the vine
Iron - rust in passage of time
Life - evolve through the age
Metal - stagnant in a cage
Trapped within the decades past
Yet feels deemed the right to blast
Music driving modern sound
Content to let metal drown
Fools - claiming to accept
Yet - conformity is kept
Looks - important above all
Progress - in metal has stalled
Open your eyes to the clear truth
New ideas should arise with youth
Good music beats weight and speed
But we’re content to sit and bleed
Death - is our only path
Muck - of mediocrity our bath
Noise - it’s all it has become
Rust - grows on the strings you strum
It can all be so much more
Innovate to keep it from a bore
Metal should reign as the king
Yet we let it lay dying

Sadist

Step into the red room, lie on down
Close your eyes as the blindfold wraps around
Leather's gonna crack against your skin
Gonna take your body out for a spin
I hold all of the power
And I will soon devour
Get on all fours, get that ass in the air
Say "thank you master" as I grab your hair
Let me hear you squeal as the paddle cracks you hard
Melt under my thumb and completely drop your guard
I stick it in with one hand clutching your hips
The other's gonna swing a nine-tail whip
I am the pleasure you receive from pain
Pushing your senses 'til you feel like going insane
Bound in ropes, your sense of freedom quickly wanes
Serving me is all that will be on your brain
Cry out "yes" as welts are left by the cane
Lost in bliss as I bind your limbs in chains
Wirthe underneath me as your insides are stained
The care you receive after's like burns healing in the rain

The Conqueror
07:29
|

From sand to sea, I lead by steel
By sword and spear, spread the crown’s will
All who stand against will fall
When they hear the war horn’s call
Fires of the dead light the night
Glory of a triumphant fight
My army will make them bend the knee
I will only know victory
Stench of death will fill the air
Teeth of the wolf pack will bare
Crushing all beneath our heels
Until all before us kneel
We will show them no mercy
Die or surrender to me
I will place the world in my hand
Until the end, my flag shall stand
A name to be forever etched
Among the names of gods and men
Stories forever are told
Of I who claimed pleasures and gold
Rise my men and laugh at death
We’ll send him scores to cull their breath
Raise our cups to drink their wine
On fallen men, the vultures dine
We will never know defeat
The devil we will one day meet
When unto death I am made known
I’ll then conquer Hell’s brimstone throne
Bloodlines ended by my sword
Kingdoms wiped out by the horde
Filling Hell’s vaults with their souls
Symphony of funeral bells tolls

Bong Moss
05:06
|
|||
Born from the moss of abandoned grass
Left to grow in the California rain
Harvest the dust of the ash and smoke
Life's microscopic embryo will reign
Globe in the mass of the smoking glass
Brown and gray sees green given way
Fog up in the winter and summertime pass
Aliens from Earth as a billion years flow
Leave it to be, their atomic world
To watch the next strand of life take form
Mini-monkey swing through purple haze of vines
While green whales soar in the bong moss's waters
Birds fly as high as the edge of the pipe
What color is their sky
Will their universe be our own world
What lies beyond our own

Saguaro Sunset
03:45
|
|||
Riding down the asphalt line in Sonoran heat
Mind wanders to the point where sun and sand meet
I’m gonna climb a mesa to the sky
And sleep upon the rocks in chill of night
I’ll wake up drowsy and blind
Wandering the desert land, my footprints alone
Long for isolation in the empty zone
Seeking shade beneath a saguaro stalk
Looking down the path I’ll once again walk
I’ll ride west thirsty and dry
Riding north and west to reach the Mojave
Gonna reach the Sierra and Cali montane
Spending one last night beneath the Sonoran stars
Won’t let any man put me behind jail bars
I’ll be free or I’ll die

Lay Me Down to Die
04:24
|
|||
One day our world will be destroyed
When the sun bursts in the void
Destroying all we have made
In an instant, mankind will fade
None of us will see this death
We’ll have long breathed our final breath
I’m ready to say goodbye
I hope soon they’ll lay me down to die
Memories will carry on
When my body and soul are gone
‘Til then I will not deny
Myself for it would be a lie
If it means I’ll burn in Hell
With my friends and heroes, I’ll dwell
Take my spirit, let it fly
And quickly lay me down to die
Let my consciousness go blank
As though from the river Styx, I’ve drank
Let me know how it feels to be
Completely separated from my body
In the end, it’s all the same
We know the result of the game
Laid to rest in a pine box
Or ground to dust at the last clock
Maybe there’s another life
Or darkness after all our strife
I’m ready to close my eyes
I wait and lay me down to die

A dragon sits in his castle
His bloodshot eyes watch the dead writhe
A forest of flesh in his midst
The condemned impaled upon stakes
The devil sits upon his throne
His thirst for blood is never quenched
His foes’ corpses reach for the sky
Their souls plunge to the depths of Hell
Wallachian horror
Son of the dragon
Wallachian horror
Voivoda
A prince watches his soldiers kill
Slaughter in the name of the lord
The invaders flee in terror
At the sight of rotting carrion
Wallachian horror
Son of the Devil
Wallachian horror
