Nocturnal Blasphemous Chanthing (album, 2004, Independent)
Format: CD

Some multimedia stuff is also included on the disc. About this, The Whipping Post says the following:
"There is a band biography, band pictures, lyrics, and some studio videos to watch. I actually had to [open] the videos out of Windows Explorer cause when I clicked on the multimedia link when it came up, all it kept doing was sending me to Blockbuster Movies' website."

1) Put on the Whole Armour
1:24, lyrics:
God's words- Our sword
The faith- Our shield
In God's people
Truth is revealed


2) Nocturnal Blasphemous Chanting
1:51, lyrics:
In the clearing, a soft glow is seen,
Burning embers amidst an evil gathering
Closer still, a murmuring drone echoes
Through the once tranquil forest

Chants of devilish blasphemy
Are heard from the gathering
Voices raised to the ancient serpent,
With delight and disgust he listens,

Appalled by ignorant summoning,
He knows their fate if the
Evil deeds should remain.

Diabolical summoning be still!
Unholy chants; be terminated.
Still the echoes, nocturnal silence.


3) Covenant Chalice of Blood
4:31, lyrics:
Master of masters, King of Kings,
Time of remembrance is at hand,
Consume the blood of Jesus.

Drink and remember the death,
Of the Holy Majesty, Covenant of blood,
Signed on the cross.

Lord of Lord's, God of God's,
Whoso eateth my flesh drink is blood,
Chalice that for many I delivered.

Whosoever believeth come and drink
With fear and reverence do.
His blood fell burning the heart.


4) Sacrifice of Triumph
4:22, lyrics:
The sun falls behind the shadowed mountains,
As darkness descends over the forest.
Flames flicker int eh distance,
Unholy chants and footstep can be heard.

Hooded figures emerge from bushes,
Flaming torches in hands.
Prepare the knife and golden chalice,
For fresh blood that is to flow.
Blackest hell envelopes the sight
As the ritual commences.

A black figure comes forth,
Robe drops to the ground,
A naked virgin stands within the circle,
Icy winds freeze the flesh,
Fear dominates her mind.

Behold! Repentance is night!
Disappearing through thicket,
Life of freedom...liberty!


5) Behold, the Rising of the Scarlet Moon (Horde cover)
4:11, lyrics:
Yes, the northern skies shall witness
The rising of the Scarlet Moon
From behind the blackened landscape
Of frozen Nordic Wastes.

Transformation of mountainous scenery
To an eerie shade of crimson
No longer a pale grey moon
But one of fresh pure blood

...Consume the wine of wilt!

Beams of luminescence fall no more to earth
Tears of mourning flow...and weeping
Yes, sadness envelopes the land
Soon, eternity's gates open wide
And time shall be no more
Generations await the sentence
For passing trough life of
Do what thou with

Alas, a tragedy has befallen!
Thus now reconsider... or


6) Steel of Thunder in Our Footsteps
3:01, lyrics:
Pounding the walls, breeding the call,
Boldly wrought
Armour of steel,
Quenching the darts, of the evil

Satan stalking, hates the faithful
Church still standing, in the fight
Steel of thunder, in our footsteps
As we stamp out, hate from earth

Great dragon,
Old Serpent,
Go to Hell
In Jesus' Name
In God's people
Truth is revealed.


7) Crushed into Dust... Forever Eternal!!
2:25, lyrics:
At the hour of thy destruction.

The end of thy reign will come,
As swift as it was established
Thy deceit is but temporary
And therefore it cannot last
I'm but a fleeting moment
Thy throne will crumble to dust
Nothing will remain.

Pathetic and without hope..Evil
Never to rise again...Unholy!
Thy skeletal remains shall become one
With the earth... Lucifer!

Crushed into dust... forever, eternal!


8) Blasphemy Will Never Rise
7:08, lyrics:
Five pointed star of hell
Symbol of satanic goat
Blasphemy

The cross of Christ turned upside down
Symbol of his supposed defeat
Blasphemy

Hell awaits the demonic forces
Who seek to prevent the Jesus
Blasphemy

Satan, Spare nothing from the ferocious
Anger of the Eternal One

Satanas. Blasphemy will never rise!!!


9) Complete Destruction, Absolute Annihilation
5:01, lyrics:
At the end of time,
The moon will be as blood.
Blackened is the sun,
Stars will fall to earth.

Fire, hail and blood
Rain upon the earth
Fallen star opens the Abyss,
Smoke released darkness the sky.

Storms of thunders,
Disastrous quakes,
Hail pelts the earth.
Plaques infest!

Blood of a corpse
Becomes the sea
Assembly of Kings,
Gathers for war
Fire descends
Devouring all

Complete Destruction,
Absolute annihilation
The day of total Armageddon holocaust.


10) Darkness Begin to Sing Death
4:49, lyrics:
Distant voices begin to sing.
"Now the fire's
Burning let fire spread
see those who think thy live
Will realize that they are dead.
Let mankind burning with the fire, following the
golden path towards the burning tree. I pause.
Before I enter within the castle walls."
"As darkness dies the
light of truth is revealed"
I genuflect to worship
presence of the almighty,
King "I have followed your quest with great
interest Said the king as I raise
my eyes to meet his.
"Many have stood where you
stand and many will
Stand there in latter days".

I came before the throne seeking truth,
I learn from the King that in death there is life;
to die to one's self is
The truth.


11) Shadows Embrace the Sorrows of Pain
6:03, lyrics:
Like an endless sound you whisper
Like burning fire you walk through water
If danger lies in wait at night I
will not fear my destiny

Because surround me with courage of victory
The timeless universe embrace
Are an essence of power

Shadows embrace the sorrows of pain
The reveal an essence of life

Out from the darkened night
My heart is bleeding
I can't see then go
The wrong direction
I'm not looking back,
for this lost broken world

With my heart and soul,
with my flesh and blood.
I wanna live, wanna fight
Cause in the end we will win


12) The Weak Light of a Sad Day
4:04, lyrics:
In a place without name,
No trees, no sign of existence...
And living like this for a long time
With an immense emptiness in breast and soul

The weak light of a sad day

And all of sudden, there comes
A man "Jesus" and I go towards her,
I look around again, I see
Trees, now I feel an a affective
Touch, I see a brighting sun...
The truth is in her, the worm
Hope is recovered now and it says
The world is not last
It's asking people to meet themselves...

I am living in shadows,
You were always beside me
 
And I couldn't feel you...

These verses are mentioned in the layout:
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (Romans 12:18-20, KJV)

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:12-14, KJV)

INFO:
1) Are the tracks from the 2018 split in the correct order? 2) Missing lyrics for "Obscure Forest..." 3) Can somebody proofread the lyrics for the debut? Some of the lyrics have to be missing here. Like there's no way the Horde cover actually ends with the word "or".
