1) Rebuild My Church
2:57

2) Evening Canticle
3:15

3) Moonlight Hangs Frozen
4:17, lyrics:
"And I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." - Luke 10:18
Come, let us bind Lucifer
Let our prayers form his torments.
Let us crown him in the flames of oblivion.
Satan bound, tortured in mind,
as waves of sin are reversed and crash against him.
Tear the wings from the dark angel,
place the infernal one
under the wrath of the Almighty.

See the fear of the one who was its source. See him shackled and hounded as a wretch from the city of God.


Let him be filled with every cancer,
Drenched in every pain,
Consumed in all violence.
Let him be broken upon God's justice.
Let us "flog our foes with the name of Jesus;
for our God is fire,
Devouring evil." (St. Gregory of Sinai)

For moonlight hangs frozen over Lucifer's grave - and he will lie buried beneath the fire.

4) Christ Enthroned
2:08, lyrics:
Undeluged crop human hath become
Encrusted in ever-building filth
Darkness hath thought to come
Yet a ray of light emerges
Promises of peace, promises of love
Toil beneath darkness from beyond
Man from gut, rot, and flame
Nails through our heads, lies bleed out
The word, the sword lead my feet to the right path
As I wait for grace and slaughter of beast
All man shall see him and live
For eternity!
Jesus returns; true peace, true love
crooks cured, sin vanquished

1) Seven Year Pilgrimage
3:29, instrumental

2) The Pale Rider
3:13, lyrics:
(Revelation 6:7-8)

Behold the Lamb / who comes forth
To break the seal / to bring the end
The fourth of the creatures / before the throne
Announces the coming of death

behold, a pale horse / a pale rider
whose name is death / who brings hell in his wake
Who Slays a fourth of the earth
the living rot / in the wake of his power

Behold, a fourth of the living shall perish
by sword, starvation and plague
their throats torn out by beasts
their flesh carved by teeth

Behold, the Pale Rider
Death and Hell follow with him


3) Celestial Agony
4:26, lyrics:
(Revelation 20:10)

Hearken unto the agony of Satan
Buried beneath his own filth
Crushed under self-torment
Desperate and writhing

Hearken unto the agony of Satan
Infernal Tormentor
Accuser of mankind
Chained and brought down

Hearken unto the agony of Satan
Pitiful creature
brought forth unto judgment
Eternal suffering awaits

The agony of Satan
The agony of Satan
The Agony of Satan
Fallen wretch, left to rot in the flames


4) The Rending of Graves
4:29, lyrics:
(Mark 12:27)

Silence of Night betrays the noise
of pines creaking in the wind
as stone is rent by unseen power
the dead bursting forth to new life
flesh re-animated
souls re-united with former bodies

satanic lies abolished
death conquered
christus victor
the gates of hell destroyed

corpses of a former life given new birth
re-animation of those who lie in wait
the grave cannot contain
those who die in Christ


5) The Last Winter on Earth
2:03, instrumental

6) Crawling Back to the Cross
4:30, lyrics:
Surrounded by temptations
Writhing serpents beckon
from the trees
the whispers of lilith

Crawling Back to the cross
The Father of lights calls
Crawling Back to the Cross
Mangled yet not forgotten

Hooked by talons
Shifting terrors seize the heart
From the mouths of graves
Nihil spews its blackened hell

Crawling Back to the cross
The Father of lights beckons
Crawling Back to the cross
Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner


7) Architects of Hell
4:27, lyrics:
(Luke 16:19-31)

Corpses lit by fire / writhing in agony / They beg for death / and cannot die

Architects of Hell / we build our suffering
demonic companionship / Fire / the Tearing of Flesh
distorted Bodies subject to torment
Consumed In Selfish Decay

Corpses lit by fire / suffering in worms / they beg for death / bereft of termination

Architects of Hell / we build our suffering
demonic surroundings / built by our actions
hunched over souls bent over by torture
consumed by worms that cannot die

oh lord, grant that we might see
what we do with our life now lasts into eternity
