1) Black Stone Idol
4:35, lyrics:
4:35, lyrics:
Behold the black stone idol
Jewel of the wilderness
That arose from the abyss
To ensare wild men
Through submission and death
The swordbearers swirl around you
As vultures to a cadaver
Kneeling from every corner of the Earth
To satisfy your hunger
Behold the black stone idol
Jewel of the wilderness
That arose from the abyss
To ensare wild men
Through submission and death
Oh fallen star
Encased in silver for all to see
The prophet once kissed your face
And surrendered all reality
Kaaba
We raise our hammers
Against the lord of the black house
And march forward to collect our reward
Hail the great fire
That chokes the sky
Sent to turn each grain of sand beneath you
Into endless glass
We strike the last idol of the Quraish
The face of Habal, chief of lies
Crushing all into dust
We strike true!
Allat, Manat, Al-Uzza
Mourn, mourn
This is war
Be consumed by fire
Hail the great fire
That chokes the sky
Sent to turn each grain of sand beneath you
Into endless glass
We strike the last idol of the Quraish
The face of Habal, chief of lies
Crushing all into dust
We strike true!
Behold the black stone idol
Jewel of the wilderness
Destroyed in a single day
By fire, by dhimmi and kafir
Forevermore
2) Gorgon Tongue
5:11, lyrics:
I gave ear to your call
Falling into your trap
Overwhelmed by torrents of praise and promises of power
Enamored at the person I was chosen to be
I swim through your venom
Driven by the rage of a weakening pulse
Ready to strike your Gorgon tongue
At the head of every promise
As I moved through your sea of words
I grew hungry
Enslaved without fill
I sunk with every step
Pleading for water
I was not filled
I swim through your venom
Driven by the rage of a weakening pulse
Ready to strike your Gorgon tongue
At the head of every promise
But now I can see you in the distance
Perverting the stars
As a beacon of false light
Crippling deceiver!
I swim through your venom
Driven by the rage of a weakening pulse
Ready to strike your Gorgon tongue
At the head of every promise

1) Avenge Us
5:23, lyrics:
Into the core of the world
Raging with fire for justice
Justice!
Engrossed by sin
The land erupts in anger
Carrying the cries of the fallen
Through black smoke
Across the barriers of the heavens
When will you stand for us?
When will you bruise the moon?
When will you judge and overthrow the world?
The dark waters swell by the touch of your hand
Forcing Hades to surrender your dead
Headless bodies unearthed, proclaim your glory
Glory! Glory!
As the blood of men is spilled
It seeps through the ground
Into the core of the world
Boiling in jealousy for the living
When will you lift your hand?
To collapse the stars?
When will you smear the sun?
Descend and crack the world?
Torrents of blood flow
Darkness descends
May the full count be met
To hasten the end
Consumed by wrath
The earth’s mouth spews plagues and curses
The core of the world flows endlessly
Pierced, hollowed
Come quickly, come quickly
Avenge us!
Come quickly, come quickly
Avenge us!
For your glory!
As the blood of men is spilled
No drop will go unanswered
No stone will go unturned
Expect us!
May the blood of the slayed cover their tongues
And never go dry for what they’ve done
Drink our bitterness
Pain and suffering
They are worthy of the sword
One for every nation
Until they’re broken
And mourn for end to come
Avenge us!
2) Mouth Spell
5:06, lyrics:
As the blood of men is spilled
It seeps through the ground
Curses flow from my mouth
And manifest themselves
In the carnal plane
Armed by the power to hurt
These words can murder
And make the strong weak
The poison of vipers glazes my lips
Cursing and bitterness reign
Death and life are in the power of my tongue
And I shall eat the fruit thereof
I will reap what I sow!
By the same token
I can uplift the broken
And pull them out of the bottomless pit
That pulsates with the viciousness of man
One word at a time
Will I release the curse into the world?
Or breathe hope into the dead?
Mouth spell, defiles the body
Burning toward the endless abyss
Crowned in misery
Remorse spreads
Why did I strangle love?
And dispose your name?
Why did I abandon peace?
I will reap what I sow
In horror!
Mouth spell, defiles the body
Burning toward the endless abyss
Mouth spell, defiles the body
Upon the coals of the lake of fire
3) Sore Upon Sore
5:30, lyrics:
In the throes of death
I walk, observe
The threat of a raised bow
And the rumblings of famine
Asphyxiated by the aroma of pestilence
Sore Upon Sore
Behold the riders of loss
Who herald the first death
Sent to murder all that breathe
All will be strung in hunt
Like wild boar
Slain!
Behold the crowned usurper treading in conquest
The sword wielding terror arming the sons of Cain
The wraith of hunger spoiling all sustenance
Guided by Death’s hand
Adorned in robes of hellfire
Sore Upon Sore
Behold the riders of loss
Who herald the first death
Sent to murder all that breathe
The seals are torn open
A reward for mankind’s idolatry
The rape of self
Spiritual whoredom!
Both rich and poor shall flee
Seeking refuge and will have no fill
By the words of the four beasts
Servants of the One, they call true!
Sore Upon Sore
Behold the riders of loss
Who herald the first death
Sent to murder all that breathe
As they hid in the mountains
They shook in their flesh and aching bone
Crying for Death
But He would not come
Hail, hail the coming judgment!
4) Of Dark Heart And Mind
3:54, lyrics:
My face is hidden in a cloak of darkness
Consumed by desire and desecration
Pity and shame take root
I am not worthy of you!
You who know my inner secrets
My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts
Carry me beyond my limitations
I surrender my withering soul
I feel the weight upon my shoulders
Desperation upon my lips
Cleanse these wounds upon my mind
Cease this lament from my flesh
Deliver me from my own contagion
This starvation of body and soul
This endless haunting of self depreciation
Hell shows no remorse!
You who know my inner secrets
My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts
Carry me beyond my limitations
I surrender my withering soul
Deliver me from my own self
Liberate me from these chains
You who know my inner secrets
My darkest desires and self destructive thoughts
Carry me beyond my limitations
I surrender my withering soul
No shadow can cloud my judgment
No light can blind my walk
I find what I seek
And cleave to things for what they are
And not claim to be!
5) The Slave Eye
4:52, lyrics:
Oh great serpent!
You who swallow my eye
And clench it in your mouth
Injecting it with darkness!
I cast you out
To sever you
I sacrifice my sight!
My right arm will deliver the final blow
My left eye I shall strike
I opened my eyes and I did not see
One swipe from my blade set me free!
Struggle forth
Twist, maim, and mangle me
Strengthen your grasp
It will be your last!
Although my burden is heavy
My cup overflows with agony
I thirst for revenge!
I shall cripple your head beneath my feet!
My right arm will deliver the final blow
My left eye I shall strike
I opened my eyes and I did not see
One swipe from my blade set me free!
Struggle forth
Twist, maim, and mangle me
Struggle forth
I thirst for revenge!
How great the darkness!
6) Unto Hades
5:26, lyrics:
The thread of life is cut away
A spirit is departing from the earthly realm
Was it called out before its time?
What was its purpose in life?
Into the void
The soul flies away
From madness to meaningless death
Close ones are left to stay
Destinies rendered to dust
Callings forever forgotten
Now lost into eternity
Is this the final destiny?
Unto Hades!
Memories of life will fade
Unto Hades!
Leaving behind distorted fate
Unto Hades!
Into suffering and hate
Unto Hades!
Behind the sealed gate!
Distorted and broken soul
Its mind clouded with madness
Severed from life by its own hand
Deeds and calling now left undone
Into the void
The soul flies away
From madness to meaningless death
Close ones are left to stay
Destinies rendered to dust
Callings forever forgotten
Now lost into eternity
Is this the final destiny?
Unto Hades!
Memories of life will fade
Unto Hades!
Leaving behind distorted fate
Unto Hades!
Into suffering and hate
Unto Hades!
Behind the sealed gate!
Who holds the keys of Hades?
To whom all things are possible?
Lord, have mercy!
Lord, have mercy!
Lord, have mercy!
