NOTE: This page is about a metal band from the USA. Not to be confused with several other bands also named Aurora Borealis!
BAND NAME: Aurora Borealis
GENRE: Black/Death Metal with Tech/Thrash Influences
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: USA (Georgia, early) (Florida, bit later) (Maryland, now)
Please note:
This band is added here because of lyrics on their recent albums, and
because Ron Vento is a Christian
(converted somewhere between 2000 and 2009?) However to my knowledge,
none of the other band members have been Christians. Generally, Aurora Borealis is not considered nor does it consider itself "unblack metal", etc. To new readers: this is a Christocentric website. While the site aims to be comprehensive (and it should be, as I've been a fan of this band since like 2007!), this page will only emphasize 2014 onward in the band's career.
Metal Archives says the band formed in 1994. The band's social media says 1995. I'll try to get this cleared up soon.
While their style has remained more or less the same over the years, old material is a bit more thrashy / "first-wave", while newer material has a bit more technical death influence.
Lineup:
Ron Vento - Vocals, Guitars (+ Bass, early)
Eddie Rossi - Bass
Mark Green - Drums
On the very rare occasion the band uses keyboards / sound effects, Ron does these too.
Past members:
Jason Ian-Vaughn Eckert - Bass
Tony Laureano - Drums
Derek Roddy - Drums
Tim Yeung - Drums
Kevin Quirion also worked with this band. I think, but am not entirely certain, that he was just a guest/session musician and not a full member.

10 February, 2014, Xtreem Music, Bandcamp, [here] + [here]
????, 2014, Xtreem Music, 2CD, limited 500 copies
The CD version was only available as a free bonus when ordering from Xtreem's website.
CD 1, track 15) Aurora Borealis - God Like Redemption
5:00, see below for lyrics
3 March, 2014, Xtreem Music + MDD Records, CD (other link [here])
7 July, 2014, Metalhit, Bandcamp
The official release date for the CD was 3 March, but pre-orders were sent out starting 28 February by Ron's label Nightsky Productions, which also handled North American distribution of the album. Note that some places list Xtreem's release, and Nightsky's release, as separate versions. They aren't. They're the same thing, just distributed in different locations.
The previous album "Timeline" was a concept album merging current scientific models with theism / creationism to create a timeline of the universe. This included some ideas that I'm not personally really comfortable labeling "Christian" (eg, the big freeze, and an eventual restart of the universe, rather than being ended preemptively by God on judgment day.) Anyway, this album is a speculative sci-fi continuation of that album. Near the end of "Timeline", humanity was nearing its doom, and sent out a vessel containing DNA, information, etc into the far reaches of space in hopes someone would find it and continue the species. Here, an ostensibly intelligent group of lifeforms locates this vessel and recreates mankind, but soon shows themselves to be corrupt and self-serving.
00:36, instrumental
2) God Like Redemption
5:03, lyrics:
When the great dying befell, delivering the end of everything
Species searching for life or consciousness
Convey what they are through the human genome
Searing heat used to tear through time itself
bringing worlds closer though never meant to be
The magnum opus of the human race, executed irreproachable, Faultless
Existence and continuation controlled by astronomical odds
Sculptors of our new life absolute and concise, reconstruction
Complete resolution designed evolution, born with fluxion
A single quantum event separated us from them
A universe parallel now they will come together
Both born from a symphony of light, incomparable still yet the same
A hope that once was lost, now brought back to fruition
Through another adroit life form we will will be redeemed
Human connectome project used to lay
out the mortal brain sculpting the minds pathways
The magnum opus of the human race, executed irreproachable, Faultless
Existence and continuation controlled by astronomical odds
Sculptors of our new life absolute and concise, reconstruction
Complete resolution designed evolution, born with fluxion
Cellular matrix, precise coding Regeneration, recreation flawless cloning
In time we will see, In time we will breathe, In time we will surely live again.
God Like Creation there is but one, Is this damnation? Reproductions under a new sun
In time we will hear, In time we will feel, In time we will again subsist
A sanguine expectation transmission is received
Searing heat used to tear through time itself
bringing worlds closer though never meant to be
The magnum opus of the human race, executed irreproachable, Faultless
Existence and continuation controlled by astronomical odds
In this brand new life we will start again
with this inception our new existence is now
3) World Shapers
4:33, lyrics:
Overseers directive evolution, what once took us millions of years
Accelerated they aid our growth, facilitated now they evoke
World Shapers, Terraform
A virgin planet transformed
World Shapers,
A new home uncontaminated like our own
Untainted world here we all shall dwell untrodden lands unseen they impel
Contrived convent fabricated for constituents they will restore
A fertile laboratory made for life to excel but most will still fail
Overseers observing this afar will watch the primitives from a distant star
Accelerated aided our growth, facilitated but not provoke
World Shapers, Terraform
A virgin planet transformed
World Shapers,
A new home uncontaminated like our own
Untainted world here we all shall dwell untrodden lands unseen they impel
Contrived convent fabricated for constituents they will restore
Lifespans last thousands of years ageless time seems infinite,
but their demise is imminent
From ghost hearts they made our flesh
With flesh reawoke us
They awoke us.
Over seers directive evolution, what once took us millions of years
Accelerated they aid our growth, facilitated now they evoke
World Shapers, Terraform
A virgin planet transformed
World Shapers,
A new home uncontaminated like our own
Derivatives of our ancestors a new chapter in the annals of time
Unknowing of what was our old lives, endure again yet few shall survive,
A few shall survive
4) Induced Mutation
4:50, lyrics:
With this new life, some were removed, experiments on extracted few
Far away from the new Eden, deep in shadows horror begins
Genetic mutation, they alter DNA
Genetic evolution is underway
With cruel intentions malformities, the creation of monstrosities
Captives - No where to run, Enslaved they shall become
Captives - Extreme conditions, Enslaved for observation
Induced mutation the suffering echoes, Cellular radiation altering genetic code
With cruel intentions malformities, the creation of monstrosities
Just like humans the conscience is thin, malefic nature comes from within
Far so far beyond the stars, the omnipotent one watches on
We are the products of replication, revised from total devastation
Saviors to some, others not, some live their lives void of thought
Some live in bliss while others grieve, some are complete while others need
We are the products of replication, revised from total devastation
Captives - No where to run, Enslaved they shall become
Induced mutation the suffering echoes, Cellular radiation altering genetic code
Just like humans the conscience is thin, malefic nature comes from within
With cruel intentions malformities the creation of monstrosities
Deep so deep beyond the depths, elsewhere in this multiverse
Far so far beyond the stars the omnipotent one watches on
5) The Oldest of Dilemmas
4:28, lyrics:
Deep within the human consciousness lies a need for a deeper meaning
Existence we live, relinquish then we die
Succumb to the darkness and eventual demise
Why do we worship the ones?
Is this a passage to a true heaven?
This is the oldest of dilemmas,
This is the only one dilemma
If this is a second consciousness, will there exist a second soul for
Existence to live, relinquish and die
Transverse dimensions and then live eternal lives
Mortal desires
All things expire
Continuation of false religion
Existence to live, relinquish and die
Transverse dimensions and then live eternal lives
Why do we worship the ones?
Is this a passage to a true heaven?
This is the oldest of dilemmas,
This is the only one dilemma
They are only the ones that made you, not to be called by invocation
If the mandate differed at all or simply changed just one percent
We would not be, would not exist
We would not breathe, would not persist
Do not confuse your makers for gods
The blue prints were clearly already laid
The laws insist that a creator sculpted this and all with divineness
Do not confuse your makers for gods
The blue prints were clearly already laid
Mortal desires
All things expire
Continuation of false religion
Can they be blamed for not knowing this?
If there does lie a soul within them
Forgiveness it shall live, no mercy it shall die
Succumb to the darkness and perpetual demise
Why do we worship the ones?
Is this a passage to a true heaven?
This is the oldest of dilemmas,
This is the only one dilemma
Deep within the human consciousness lies a need for a deeper meaning
6) Watchers from Above
4:59, lyrics:
On beams of light we can look into the past
But we cannot see the
inexorable future that lies ahead
Mankind cannot escape their predetermined destiny
Migration, annihilation as they move
Devastation, ravenous and more profuse
Culmination, war is in them like they breathe
Confirmation, that they see us just as disease
They see a plague and disease
Analysis of synthesis knowledge; we can not coexist
This is what they, what they call human nature?
Knowledge; we can not coexist
Watching from above,
They're watching from above
Watching from above
They lie in wait for centuries as millennia pass holding destinies
They're watching from above,
Watching from above.
We war, we lie, we kill for greed
We lust, envy feel wrath and breed
Anathema of the multiverse, condemnation is what is deserved
Proficient in destruction
The instinct of aggression runs through your core extolling the eminence of these
Savage impulses, the dispositions for cruelty are innate
These traits they do abhor
Acclimation, adaptation as they move
Temptation, cravings cannot be defused
Conformation, war is in them like they breathe
Denunciation from the ones who oversee
From the ones who oversee
When the emotions overcome reason, instincts we act upon
This is what they, what they call human nature?
Knowledge; we can not coexist
Watching from Above,
They're watching from above
Watching from above,
They're watching from above
They lie in wait for centuries as millennia pass holding destinies
They're watching from above
We war, we lie, we kill for greed
We lust, envy feel wrath and breed
Anathema of the multiverse, condemnation is what is deserved
Proficient in destruction
Watching from above
7) This Is the Way They Choose to Die
4:46, lyrics:
This is the way they choose to live
Gluttons for for wealth and greed, this they won't forgive
This is the way they choose to die
Further continuance will be denied
Life is a test that we all must go through
Years that go by we cannot just undo
Everyday is one day you're closer to your last
With your first breath the decay commences
Arrows of time they run only one way
Moments that pass used to evaluate
They have given thousands of years to right the wrong
Yet the annihilation continues on and on
Mining the planet to its very core
Polluting oceans across every shore
No respect for the life that you have
Suicidal tendencies abound
The resources once plentiful are depleted
She has nothing left to give
This is the way they choose to live
Gluttons for for wealth and greed, this they won't forgive
This is the way they choose to die
Further continuance will be denied
Into the night sky potential awaits
Technology leading the search to locate
A new planet to exploit
A new race to consume and destroy
Genomic seti now brings them the proof,
DNA message encoded is true
This could have been welcome knowledge
Instead it seals their fate
This can no longer continue now
Only death just awaits
Mining the planet to its very core
Polluting oceans across every shore
No respect for the life that you have
Elimination own your own behalf.
8) A Subtle Way to Eradicate Them
5:15, lyrics:
Transmission neglection
They would not have been brought back if it was not for the failure to disclose the truth
In their final masterwork they chose to be perceived differently
In their final conveyance they chose to deceive again, omit their sins
No species would breathe life or to revitalize
No species would restore the vermin of the universe
It was this final guise that justified their lives
Unveiled now, exposed, unhidden by their unjust ways
Exterminate them skillfully
A baneful plan is then conceived
No need for weaponry or war, just deracinate them gracefully
The archaic ones are agreed
Disease carried from microorganisms from beyond the deepest realms of the cold dark endless black
Air borne infection, highly contagious for there is no cure
Contaminate the vital needs for precious life
For their own good all must die,
Like a plague, no reluctance, none defy
Epidemic from the skies
Pestilential they all will die
Every last one, eradication of all humanity in its entirety
All will fall
The Termination
This is the end of
Every last one, eradication of all humanity in its entirety
All will fall
Transmission neglection
They would not have been brought back if it was not for the failure to disclose the truth
In one final death design the choice to remove the heliosheath
In one motion open up the heavens to send the solar winds
With no magnetic field, photons destroy at will, altering and mutating all the lifeforms' DNA
Bring forth a climate change drastic and so extreme, no species could survive the coalescing of these things
Exterminate them skillfully
A baneful plan is then conceived
No need for weaponry or war, just deracinate them gracefully
The archaic ones are agreed
None worth saving, their hearts are black
Every good deed followed by atrocious acts
The ancient ones end their lives,
It is best that they all should die
Every last one, eradication of all humanity in its entirety
All will fall
They all will fall
9) Silent War
4:58, lyrics:
Silent war from afar, merciless primordial
Unaware of origin, veiled assaults commence
Fighting to hold on to some life
Clandestine shadowed ones engineer and carry on
With all existence hanging in the balance of their hopeless cries
Ailing effects scattered all across the globe
Unburied bodies lying by the millions
Revocation of the human race is looming
Lachrymosial inclinations now they care
Clinging to any hope sanguine they persist and resist
Bathed in ruination, determined to go on as they mourn
Face to face with this elimination for ordained,
Now mankind align bringing their great minds together
Unyielding, unrelenting
For every cure humans create
The ancients deliver a new strain
DNA is rapid changing cancer stricken with decay
Now without an atmosphere nothing to repel UV rays
After just a generation mostly gone and now breathless
The few that continue on will none too soon cease to exist
Silent war from afar, merciless primordial
Unaware of origin, veiled assaults commence
Fighting to hold on to some life
Clandestine shadowed ones engineer and carry on
With all existence hanging in the balance of their hopeless cries
All the years passing on unaware, oblivious
The judgment handed down from the Creator
Who gave life this time, this place in this dimension
The successful termination now is over
Children of the stars dwell alone once more
A new project now is devised, redesign and revise
Change the DNA encoding this attempt, try again
Extract the genes vital for hatred and acrimony,
Persecute many to ascertain the knowledge ones seek
Unyielding, unrelenting
All that remains is the emptiness of
Judgment handed down from the creators
Silent war, merciless killing
Silent war, exterminating
Clandestine shadowed ones engineer and carry on
10) And to the Stars Returned
4:46, lyrics:
Seers of time, primordial lives
Hypocrites are the archaic killing when it is deemed right to
So much just like the humans, justified by ignorance of all
Indefectible, not so; flawed are the ones that should know
We live, we breathe, we exist, not forever
We die, we fade, we perish, cease so quickly
There is one watching over,
Designer of everything in this universe and the next one
Their existence shall be judged as well
Reverence was lost crowning themselves while condemning others
Even they cannot escape the decay and entropy that come
To everything over time, nothing is ever immune
Time is not on your side and time is not your friend
Time will catch and devour you, it will always win
A star cannot shine forever, it ends and fades into obscurity
The laws of the universe can, can only be changed by the one true Creator
Consciousness will slip away
There will be no more yesterdays
We live, we breathe, we exist, not forever
We die, we fade, we perish, cease so quickly
We are all just stargazers mesmerized by the clockworks
Of the heavens and the universe that we are a part of
Under a dimming sun waiting to be judged, we will be judged
This may not be your last day but it will surely come
We can never go back or undo what has been done
We will be judged, born of the stars and to the stars returned

Cassie Morris - Outro (track 11)
This is a concept album. It seems to be a sort of fable/parable: containing a message, but the story itself not being entirely "real". In this story, instead of the fallen angels being cast to earth directly, they're cast into the depths of stars and imprisoned. Some of them don't escape and are trapped in the stars when the universe dies. However some of them do escape, and this is where mankind's belief in aliens comes from. The fallen angels -- demons -- make their way to earth and pretend to be various forms of alien life in order to mislead, and get mankind under their control. They influence "the lives of great rulers (from pharaohs, to kings and presidents)". Eventually this all culminates in the battle of armageddon.
The track "Sarkikos" features references to (and criticism of?) "Images in the Nightsky" from their 2000 album "Northern Lights".
For the vinyl version, tracks 1-6 are on Side A, and 7-11 are on Side B.
00:48, partial lyrics:
And after the angels were created, Lucifer and his legions were cast from heaven, sent through portals in space-time, banished to the hearts of stars. One star created to house each demon. Countless stars for countless demons. But evil cannot be contained, and they broke free from (???) stars, causing massive solar flares and star quakes. Then bending time, traversing the universe, through wormholes to reach their destination. And so it begins.
2) Even Angels Sin
3:56, lyrics:
Even angels sin
What is, is and always was
There is no beginning and no end
The fall laid foundation for everything that has happened since
Jealousy, hatred, envy, wrath and pride
Rejected the reign, illuminated and brought to light
Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone
The time before this when humankind did not exist
(When humankind did not exist)
Exiles turned pretenders, but only few remember
Even the angels, yes the angels sin
They sin
For this the angels are thrust to banishment in sin
Legions following the dragon
Battalions under requisition, seeking domination
The things you have come to believe are imprecise
Cast out, but not to earth
Dispersed through the universe
Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone
The time before this when humankind did not exist
(When humankind did not exist)
Exiles turned pretenders, but only few remember
Even the angels, yes the angels sin
They sin
For this the angels are thrust to banishment in sin
Behemoths bonded to the stars existing deep within their hearts
Held in perpetuum
Here there can be no escape, but evil always finds its way
Even through the unimaginable measure
Spheres of plasma through the void
Sheltering the hellion hordes' primordial presence
One for every fallen being, they all will house eternal demons
Made as prison cells, but spawning life as well
The king of hell was not cast straight to earth
He made his way through this universe
Irrevocable lust for the throne, though he is not alone
The time before this when humankind did not exist
Even angels sin, even angels sin, even angels sin
3) Phlegethon
3:52, lyrics:
Lying in wait, a hanging fire judgement
The stars begin to quake, can the sentence they evade
Magnastars, hot burning hells
Unleashing solar flares escaping from their cells
Magnastars they tremble from the power
Of the ones who wish all life devoured
The star that fell from heaven
The son of dawn in chains no more
Phlegethon that stream of fiery light
Astronomical bodies in flight
Kill the dreamer, and see what becomes of the dream
Celestial navigation, bending time cessation
In them there is no fear, traveling through light years
Bound to steal your soul, they are bound to take your soul
Magnastars, hot burning hells
Unleashing solar flares escaping from their cells
Magnastars they tremble from the power
Of the ones who wish all life devoured
The star that fell from heaven
The son of dawn in chains no more
Phlegethon that stream of fiery light
Astronomical bodies in flight
Kill the dreamer, and see what becomes of the dream
Celestial navigation, bending time cessation
In them there is no fear, traveling through light years
Some stars collapse, faster than they flee
There they shall remain, trapped perpetually
In that deep abyss, alone living in perdition
In them time shall cease, for humans this is heaven
4) Arrival
4:25, lyrics:
Billions of years, they have travelled far
Just one task at hand, to lead you astray
To be the things that do not exist, no, as though they did
Feeding the imagination to come to believe
With belief becomes potential
Then potential becomes power
Power turns into dominion
Dominion molded into mass disbelief
Fallen angels in disguise clandestine to the world
Aspersion followed by affusion
Their power is most effective when it's least perceived
Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden
Eve blinded by its cunning ways
Sometimes you can’t see what is most real
Walking beside us, guiding our way
Annunaki, reptilians, andromedans, nordics and the greys
To be the things that do not exist, no, as though they did
Feeding the imagination to come to believe
Conspiring and watching your every step
Cloaked by the pale moonlight
Lurking deep within the shadows
Exchanging your faith for pure torment
Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world
Aspersion followed by affusion
Their power is most effective when it's least perceived
Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden
Eve blinded by its cunning ways
Sometimes you can’t see what is most real
Walking beside us, guiding our way
Wandering beings for whom is reserved the blackness and darkness forever
Through every prominent kingdom and dynasty
They are the ones who are the masters
Watching you become their slaves
Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world
Aspersion followed by affusion
Their power is most effective when it's least perceived
Just like the serpent in the garden of Eden
Eve blinded by its cunning ways
Sometimes you can’t see what is most real
Walking beside us, guiding our way
Fallen angels In disguise clandestine to the world
Aspersion followed by affusion
5) Sarkikos
4:25, lyrics:
Destination, damnation
When you see the images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black
Throned on chariots of fire
Shaking theism, forging lies
Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons
Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh
Extending only to those who have lost their way
Apollyon, fear the angel of death
Since man’s inception putting faithless to the test
Apollyon, he’s been here before
Through centuries, taking different form
Extraterrestrial, terrestrial forms
Captivation, then fascination
On the images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black
Grand illusions in the sky
Shaking theism, forging lies
Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons
Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh
Extending only to those who have lost their way
Apollyon, fear the angel of death
With his deception, putting faithless to test
Apollyon, he’s been here before
Through centuries, taking different form
Extraterrestrial, terrestrial forms
Ersatz idols piercing through the void
False preceptors piercing through the endless void
Creating images in the night sky
Casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black
Grand illusions in the sky
Shaking theism, forging lies
Deceiving spirits with doctrines of demons
Sarkikos, in sin you will invest, you will invest
Sarkikos, baptized by the flesh
6) Dozakh
1:16, lyrics unknown
7) Magor Missabib
4:04, lyrics:
Abduction is never for what it seems
They always choose for lack of belief
Death comes to the fortunate with relief
The others kept alive endlessly
Wishing to be a stillborn child, that your mother’s womb had been your grave
Magor Missabib, terror on every side
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes
A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace
Pashur born of mortal skin, possession overtakes him
Pashur dies and will be damned, though the beast will start again
2000 years now passed, for him it was just like a day
Striking fear and stealing souls, untamed until he must obey
Magor Missabib, terror on every side
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes
Magor Missabib, terror on every side
A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace
The demon will come to embrace
The occupation of the flesh is ancient way
Now just lust for torture and decay
Awake but paralyzed, conscious but feel every knife
A coma but still you see, the lacerations appear then vanishing
Amaranthine, it will never cease
Inexorable, persecution mercilessly
A mind rape for those who have been returned
To spread fear of the ones beyond the sun
But death comes to the fortunate with relief
The others kept alive endlessly
Wishing to be a stillborn child, that your mother’s womb had been your grave
Magor Missabib, terror on every side
Magor Missabib, on tablets of flesh he writes
A prophet delivers a name, the demon will come to embrace
The demon will come to embrace
Magor Missabib, you will remember his name
Magor Missabib, you will remember his name
8) The Great Expanse
4:22, lyrics:
Products of the grand creator Inhabit this universe
In spectral dimensions, unfathomable to the human grasp
But they cannot be here, for the great expanse is much too vast
Across the dead region, none can go
No species will ever transverse the dark
Constructed, insurmountable from the start
Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight
Out of reach before the flicker fades
Civilizations work this way
They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct
By the time you know they exist, they won’t
No persuasion can warp spacetime
But for the fallen angelic lifeline
They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct
By the time you know they exist, it's too late
No persuasion can cross the black hole
But under fallen angelic control
They chose not to keep their first estate
Lightyears would take thousands of generations to overcome
Trying to harness power of a billion suns, it cannot be done
so they cannot be here, for the great expanse cannot be undone
Across the dead region, none can go
No species will ever transverse the dark
Constructed, insurmountable from the start
Like a firefly lit in the night, its light diminishes and then out of sight
Out of reach before the flicker fades
Civilizations work this way
They rise, they fall, flourish, then become extinct
By the time you know they exist, they won’t
No persuasion can warp spacetime
But for the fallen angelic lifeline
They lurk, they hide like ghosts, indistinct
By the time you know they exist, it's too late
9) Esoterica
4:09, lyrics:
But from those who seemed to be something
whatever they were, it makes no difference to them
For those that seemed to be something added nothing to them
They will not walk into the web of a deceiver willingly
The scripture speaks to ones who open their eyes
These are the few who look to hang on words from psalmists
Revere those who seek the truth, but beware of those who come to find it
Esoterica, understood only by the blessed
For those that seemed to be something added nothing to them
They will not walk into the web of a deceiver willingly
We have nothing to offer such an advanced race
And the technology that they have to give only leads to war and hate
Can you smell the sulphur (sulphur) through their disguise
That malefic aroma burning through their eyes
For those who know prepare for strife
The chaos soon to begin
Penitence is permanent, It erases sin
This is tacenda, things better left unsaid
It is best to let die what is dying, they dug a pit for us, but in it they will fall
The time will come, we all walk through the fire, the enriched will not be burned by the flame
But from those who seemed to be something
Whatever they were, it makes no difference to them
You never know when you may entertain angels, fallen or otherwise
But from those who seemed to be something
Whatever they were, it makes no difference to them
For those who know prepare for strife
The chaos soon to begin
Penitence is permanent, It erases sin
They have nothing to offer such a redeemed race
If you look inside you will find it, a divine touch and his embrace
Can you smell the sulphur (sulphur) through their disguise
That malefic aroma burning through their eyes
10) Apokalupsis
4:52, lyrics:
Apokalupsis, once withdrawn, now visible to all
Made known to this world, but still masked, they remain
Waiting to expose themselves like wolves in sheep’s clothes
Make peace with mankind, and deceived, we condone
They will make beggars of kings, and pull the mighty from their thrones
Unconcealed, unhidden
Two entities in this world, but not in the same place
idolized, glorified
Unveiling mass betrayal eventually follows
We embrace, then we die
Apokalupsis, once withdrawn, now visible to all
Nefarious demons orchestrate and form
solo wicked cadenzas, played with hate near the end
Just like a brood of vipers, humans are their prey
Like moths, attracted, flying straight into consuming flames
Using guile to falsify
Preaching there is no god, with displays not of this world
Entrancing, enchanting
Like children hypnotized, deity they deny
We embrace, then we die
They say you will forsake them, like the echoing words from your son
They say you will forsake them, like the echoing words from your son
The king of hell, come, bring forth the antichrist
Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast
Made known to this world, but still masked, they remain
Waiting to expose themselves like wolves in sheep’s clothes
Make peace with mankind, and deceived, we condone
They will make beggars of kings, and pull the mighty from their thrones
Unconcealed, idolized, unhidden, glorified
Two entities in this world, but not in the same place
Using guile to falsify
Like children hypnotized, deity they deny
Entrancing, we embrace, enchanting, then we die
11) Lo-Ruhamah
4:42, lyrics:
Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding
Raining horror from the heavens
Alien bodies filled with demons, they’ve always been one in the same
Flood waters vanquished men the first time, now they all will burn in flames
Trinity of evil from the skies, not from the earth
The valley of megiddo, give rise to the great wars birth
Exalt, extol, magnify
All hail, worship with reverence, or die
Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding
Raining horror from the heavens
This is the end of the earth that exists now
The first must fall to be reformed
Hand painted by the greatest artist
Throughout the vast multiverse
Follow the deceiver
Into his hell, enthralled
To the true believer
Your covenant with death can be annulled
Just fall into the universes embrace
No need to cling to life, death has no sting
Their flesh shall be consumed while standing on their feet
Their tongues disintegrated inside their very mouths
The sun and moon are darkened, and all the stars withdrawn
When he decides to end it, the light will blind you all
Lo-Ruhamah, armageddon, there will be no mercy
An invasion, revelation, the end is unfolding
Exalt, extol, magnify
All hail, worship with reverence, or die
Raining horror from the heavens
Contrivance of a fiendish swan song
Will be constricted and constrained
For when the trumpet begins sounding
So begins the millennial reign

00:44, not 100% sure if these lyrics are correct:
And he was conceived by the whore of Babylon. His father none can name lay to rest under the sentinel and will be reborn from the abyss. Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord but a false savior. For a Savior is a shepherd, one that protects the ones he cares for. But hunter at the price of the victim, pleases only... himself.
2) God Hunter

Therefore ye Kings be wise and warned you rulers of the earth that serve the false one
Rejoice then tremble kiss the son lest he be angered and you be destroyed
Enthroned by praise Deception the way

Cloaked in coats of skin from Adam handed down from generations
Stolen, stolen

He will make men revolt fall to their knees in tyranny and denounce yhwh
With every idol comes a demon hidden close your eyes and feel its presence
He that defies , bearer of lies Disguised walking as one with the light
3) The House of Nimrod
4:40, lyrics:
Heathens Raise your torches to the house of nimrod
Entrance to heaven
The gate of god concealed
We are gods, We are gods
In the middle of the sky lies eternity’s path
We are gods, We are gods
It’s the way to anywhere, future or the past
He is heretic They won’t resist
He is dissenter They will submit
Ahhh
Building his spire, raising it higher
A portal to forever in a place where time stops no beginning and no end
Heathens Raise your torches to the house of nimrod
Three hundred vexed steps ascending vehement
We are gods, We are gods
In the middle of the sky a portal concealed
We are gods, We are gods
Illuminates the path gods kingdom revealed
He is heretic They are his hands
He is dissenter They walk like lambs
Ahhh
Ominous tower
Where faith is devoured
Fifty long years to construct his wondrous tower
Legions follow to their end
Sadist, abandon Sadist, your maker
Sadist, abandon Sadist, your maker
abandon your maker
We are gods, We are gods
In the middle of the sky they pierce now the veil
We are gods, We are gods
The horde he commands sing a requiem to hell
A portal to forever in a place where time stops no beginning and no end
Heathens raise your torches to the house of nimrod
4) Ephemeral Rise
4:51, lyrics:
With eventide come the storm winds
Felling towers the earth trembles all men cower down
The faithful seal of death is looming
Now
Usurper guided by the serpents lies
Ancestors of the night
Charmed by a demons guise
Your ascendancy denied
Out of the wicked comes forth the wickedness of man
Taberah fire from the lord burning among them
Uh uh uh uh ahhhhhh
The ephemeral rise erased
Not sanctified just demonized
Divided tongues
Festering hate
Scattered remnants
The Kingdom slain
Four metal thrones of iron copper silver and gold
Sinking beneath the earths hallowed ground
The faithful seal of death is looming
Now
Usurper guided by the serpents lies
Ancestors of the night
Charmed by a demons guise
Your ascendancy denied
Out of the wicked comes forth the wickedness of man
Taberah fire from the lord burning among them
Uh uh uh uh ahhhhhh
The ephemeral rise erased
Not sanctified just demonized
Shooting his bow to the sky in grief
Let’s loose his arrows in his defeat
Gabriel pulled them from the sky
Stained them with own blood
And in mockery their returned, chastised
5) Serenade of Designations
4:37, lyrics:
After the fall his legend thrives
A lexicon of epithets devised
Many names they call him
Many names they call him
Orion, Mithra, Osiris and Baal
In him they cast devotion a homage they will pay to
Apollo, Dumuzi
On him they cast all honor on him they cast all praise
With a serenade of designations
A hate filled nocturne of appellations
Was he killed by Abra Abraham
Or did Esau cut off, cut off his head
Nowhere is he nameless
Was he killed by Abra Abraham
Or did Esau cut off, cut off his head
His legacy walks faceless
He bows to nothing, none but the fire
He reigns in death obtaining his desires
Belphegor, Dionysus, Adonis, Marduk
In him they cast devotion, a homage they will pay to
Gilgamesh, Bacchus
On him they cast all honor on him they cast all praise
With a serenade of designations
A hate filled nocturne of appellations
Was he killed by Abra Abraham
Or did Esau cut off, cut off his head
Nowhere is he nameless
Was he killed by Abra Abraham
Or did Esau cut off, cut off his head
His legacy walks faceless
He bows to nothing, none but the fire
He Reigns in death obtaining his desires
Orion, Mithra, Osiris and Baal
Tammuz, weaver of foul minds
After the fall his legend thrives
Many names they call him
Many names they call him
Belphegor, Dionysus, Adonis, Marduk
A lexicon of epithets devised
Many names they call him
His legend
Many names they call him
Thrives
Many names they call him
Many names they call him
6) Thralldomnation
1:33, lyrics unknown
7) Founding Fathers of Deception
4:14, lyrics:
A house of idols
Masons, chosen ones
Masons, constructors of
A city built to awaken
Shrouded in secrecy
Encoded symbolism hiding, concealed in plain sight
Meant to reunite
Sleeping but never dead
Sleeping but never dead
Sleeping but never dead
Will rise in majesty to meet thine own
66 60 by 666
Over city streets the ingot moonlit
66 60 by 666 stands the looming shadow of an obelisk
The founding fathers of deception
Thousands of years they waited
A house of idols
A capitol facing East to Egypt
A nation west dispelled
May as well point south of heaven opposing north, staring straight into the mouth of hell
Sleeping but never dead
Sleeping but never dead
Sleeping but never dead
Will rise in majesty to meet thine own
66 60 by 666
Over city streets the ingot moonlit
66 60 by 666 stands the looming shadow of an obelisk
The founding fathers of deception
Thousands of years they waited
Streets laid out like a pentagram
The epicenter lying at its head
66 60 by 666
Over city streets the ingot moonlit
66 60 by 666 stands the looming shadow of an obelisk
66 60 by 666
The founding fathers of deception
Thousands of years they waited
Thousands of years they waited
8) Khafres Mark
4:22, lyrics:
Beneath the cursed streets hide the catacombs
A resurrection chamber
Made to bring the hunter home
Excavation underneath Kafres mark
Exhumation upheave the patriarch
The sphinxes eyes, evanescent
The shepherds shelter needed no more
Released from the sands
A spiritual door to the occult is open
Touched by the sun
The sepulcher is moved to its new monumental home
He will be reformed and returned faithfully to metal thrones
Bones from the Sahara the plateau of Giza
The vital voyage consummated
Beneath the cursed streets hide the catacombs
A resurrection chamber
Made to bring the hunter home
Preparation, DNA mapping clone
In an image utterly like His own
Ahhhhhhh
The sinful crypt holds genetic code
A new birth will occur once more
From an embryo
A body lifeless continues to grow, culminate
Waiting for the breath of life but not from the almighty king of kings
He will be reformed and returned faithfully to metal thrones
Bones from the Sahara the plateau of Giza
Excavation underneath Kafres mark
Exhumation upheave the patriarch
A new birth will occur once more
from a embryo
Waiting for the breath of life but not from the almighty king of kings
Beneath the cursed streets hide the catacombs
A resurrection chamber
Made to bring the hunter home
9) Awakening
4:32, lyrics:
Adoni, Adoni Helumnay, Peenay
Cosmic storm clouds, mesocyclone
Harnessing the fury of a supercell tempest
Infused with the power of coronal mass ejections
Planets align
Galactic signs
Gateway holes in the magnetic field
Portals once were lost are now revealed
Adoni Helumnay
The awakening
Tekhenus, the rod of the reverential monument
The crest holds the incantation for the rebirth covenant
Guide the emperor back to his crown
The soul released and now unbound
Enigmatic society
Shrouded in the dark, pious and sanctimonious
Awaiting the aurora and his foretold arrival
Cursed one arise
As angels cry
Kill it, take the heart and sacrifice
As they pour the blood and let it die
Adoni Helumnay
The awakening
Wake thee apostate ,no longer dead no longer dreaming
in death we you give life, now find your wings into the kingdom
Veiled, the emperor now holds his crown
The soul and body now are bound
10) Hymn to the Archfiend
3:57, lyrics:
Nihilistic wolves are patient
Sin
Cyanide to your existence
Sin
Desires to have you
Wear the mask of deception
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
A promise of peace, take the mark
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
Tribulation, sitnah lord of famine
Tribulation, sitnah three years done
This person that you trust in is the last one that you should
His castles will all tremble built without the foundation
Teeth in the wind are consuming
Nihilistic wolves are patient
Sin desires to have you
His reign of peace ends in terror
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
Cosmic chess, A game of souls
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
Tribulation, sitnah lord of famine
Tribulation, sitnah three years done
This god is just a scarecrow that cannot protect his field
The famine that he leaves behind will break the seventh seal
Death will ride upon a pale horse
Why feel death breathing ?
Dying in your cold bed of blood
Why wake up weeping ?
Silence will fill heaven
Before the trumpets sound
Silence will fill heaven
Before the trumpets sound
Nihilistic wolves are patient
Sin
Cyanide to your existence
Sin
Desires to have you
The evil cleaves unto you
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
A promise of peace, take the mark
Faith cannot be trusted if not tested
Tribulation, sitnah lord of famine
Tribulation, sitnah three years are done
His fire so strong that it burns in the midst of the waters
Why feel death breathing?
Dying in your cold bed of blood
Why wake up weeping?
11) Cosmic Control Mechanism
4:49, lyrics:
Before time and there after, before knowing and the nothing
Tetelestai, It is finished, it is over
Tetelestai, A brief instance in cosmic time
In the face of the star breather who became the sin bearer
The designer of the universe, both known and unknown
His legacy will be as a ship that passes over water, a trace cannot be found
His legacy will be nothingness
The creator of the illimitable granted the rise
At the end of existence to test mankind
The name shall be henceforth vanquished
Extirpated from the the heavens
Tetelestai, It is finished, it is over
Tetelestai, A brief instance in cosmic time
His contention is extinction
Nihility
Only one can bring you to the gates of hell both down and back up again
His legacy will be as a ship that passes over, water a trace cannot be found
His legacy will be nothingness
You cannot provoke the one who existed before his birth
You cannot provoke the one who existed before his birth
The creator of the illimitable granted the rise
At the end of existence to test mankind
The name shall be henceforth vanquished
Extirpated from the the heavens
Tetelestai, It is finished, it is over
Tetelestai, A brief instance in cosmic time
Tetelestai
And the whole earth will follow the beast in wonder
IncompletePage, UncertainInfo, SimilarTo
1) Are the lyrics I have for "And After", and "From the Abyss, Reborn" correct? 2) Missing lyrics for "And After", "Dozakh", and "Thralldomnation". 3) Was the Cimmerian Shade version of "Apokalupsis" ever released? 4) When was the CD version of "Xtreem Mutilation" released? 5) Layout photos for either compilation listed here? (Did "Underground Alliance" have cover art?) 6) Was Kevin Quirion a guest, or a full member? 7) Did the band form in 94 or 95? 8) A couple sites mention a 1994 demo before "Mansions of Eternity". I think this demo is from Lestregus and was misattributed to Aurora Borealis online, but I'm not certain. Any help?
Middle: "Worldshapers" without text, I think from the cover artist's website
Middle/Right: Shirt graphics ("Apokalupsis" and "Prophecy" respectively)
1) Proofread lyrics, I think there are some typos. 2) Check album layouts for some stuff.
