 Discography:


 A Treasury of Sorrows (year unknown, compilation, Lifeless Records)
Format: more than 1 CD, but I'm not sure how many discs were on the compilation

I have virtually no information about this.
Apparently this "Lifeless Records" was run by one of the guys from Shadows Fall??

??) Frost like Ashes - Nightfall's Cold Kiss 5:32, see "Born to Pieces" EP for lyrics


Demo 2002 (UNRELEASED)

A message I received from Sebat Frost:
"We never released that 1st demo at all. It was announced then sotd [Sounds of the Dead, record label] asked us to wait and put out the ep. So it was never made or released."

See "Pure as the Blood Covered Snow" for more info on these tracks.

Note: As usual with undark.net releases, I'm not sure what the tracklist was on the undark.net version of this release.

1) Notions of Insanity
5:11, lyrics:
Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Like a shriveled weed in a rotted bouquet
Glutted on death and you’re thirsty again
And like a dog, you return to your vomit
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become your home and all of your best friends
To quench your addiction inject the drug that has filled you
And to fulfill your life turn to the one that will kill you

Mercy to you
Oh, pearls before swine
God is mythology
In your twisted mind
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you ’ll die like one too

Accusator! thrusting needles in eyes
While your empty sockets swarm with maggots inside
Diseases infest you, infections make you blind
Yet you lie in your cesspool swollen in pride
Slave of instinct behind facadle freedom
Doom you to gaze through the bars of diseased addictions
Go ahead; serve your master-for I know him well
He’ll throw you scraps from his table
Until you’re devoured in Hell

Mercy to you
Oh, pearls before swine
God is mythology
In your twisted mind
You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you’ll die like one too

To not believe in God
That does not mean
You believe in nothing, rather
You’ll believe in anything
An open, empty mind

Thrown to the wolves and you relish the pain
Glutton of death and you hunger again
Your place of sorrows and all of your torments
Has become a razed fortress and your God-forsaken friends

You’re an open grave
A festering tomb
You live like an animal
And you’ll die like one too

2) A Cruel Verse
5:15, lyrics:
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from its lair
It will destroy you!”

He will throw you down your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust

Your mothers and your daughters will be ravished
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!

He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!

3) Adorers of Blood
6:05, lyrics:
You are the Ancient One
The Ancient of Days
The end and the beginning
The object of my praise
You’re the Morning Star
You’re the Midnight Sun
I Am that I Am
You’re the Victory won
You’re Lord Sabaoth
Father, Son, mysterious Ghost
Nefarious tremble in fear
Of Your terrible host
You make the Moon blood
Turn the Sun to black
You have slain thousands
With a single Spirit

We are adorers of blood
The Blood spilt from Your veins
The Blood we drink in Eucharist
The Blood we bathe our bodies in
Blood-wrought Salvation

You’re the Sacrifice of Blood
The Firstborn of the dead
Corpse fulfilled with sin
Word manifest to flesh
Slayer of serpents
Impending death of death
Castrator of sin
The bitter wine of Wrath
We are the possessed
Possession Aeternus
Your blood flows in our veins
We are The Victorious
Others charge You with murder
Others shake their fists at You
Others don’t realize
Your Blood covers them too

We are adorers of blood
The blood spilt from your veins
The blood we drink in Eucharist
The blood we bathe our bodies in

On that same night
I will pass through and strike down every firstborn
I will bring judgment on all gods
The Blood will be a sign for you
When I see the Blood, I will pass over you
No destructive plague will touch you
When I strike

Bathe me in Your Blood
Baptize me in Fire
Pour your Spirit on me
Fill my cup higher and higher and higher and higher and higher!!

4) After Forever (Black Sabbath cover)
5:00, lyrics:
Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope, do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes! I think it's too late.

5) Immortals / Bonus Demo Track
3:31, lyrics:
I have immortal life through
The Blood of Jesus Christ, I
Was unleashed from the chains of sin and death
I will never die, no
Redeemed, life of freedom
Eternal salvation, seated in heavenly places

I am immortal
I live forever

How sweet it is
Not to fear death
And how sweet
To know …Truth

Now when you lay down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
But if you should die before you wake

Go ahead and meet your death
Go ahead and feed the worms
Be content to vanish after your demise
But I will not follow you, no
Your way so pitifully mortal
I’ve been unleashed from this coil I leave this life Immortal!

I am immortal
I live forever

ALL TRACKLISTS EXCEPT VOGR VINYL
1) A Terrible Visitation
6:46, lyrics:
I've seen the future... And you die

All faces wax pale...

Deep within the trembling begins
Trumpets sounding warning and war
Watching from a tower of sin
Over the mountain
Comes the Black Swarm
As the dawn spreading
His dark army comes raging
A day of gloom and darkness
Nothing at all can escape
They move as horses of war
Ears bleeding from the roar
And the sound of crackling fire
They leap from peak onto peak
They move with a blink of the eye
They scale the walls like locust
They crush through all defenses
They do not break their ranks

Tear and shred your hearts
For they are coming for you
They fly from the sky like hail
All faces wax pale...
What dread to be found
In grasp of an angry God
At the lifting of the veil
All faces wax pale...

Going on before them a raging fire consumes
Left in wake behind them a blazing fire burns
Lain in glory before them a virgin garden looms
Lain in waste behind them a raped and desolate urn
They rush into the city
Pitch black flood pouring over the walls
There is no refuge from them
Through each crevice they crawl
They enter through the windows as warriors drawn for battle
At the very sight of their shadows
The blood drains from every face

Tear and shred your hearts
For they are coming for you
They fly from the sky like hail
All faces wax pale...
What dread to be found
In grasp of an angry God
At the lifting of the veil
All faces wax pale...

Lord Sabaoth screams before His great army and mighty army
The Strong execute His Word
Who can endure it?
Open your spiritual eyes
Even now they come your way
You cannot stand against them
The hounds of Heaven seek your soul
No one and nothing at all can escape this force
They do not break their ranks
Who can endure it?
There is no refuge from them and you cannot stand against them
See, even now they come your way
The hounds of Heaven seek your soul
Seek your soul!

2) Desecrator
3:44, lyrics:
The Crucifix immersed in piss
The Holy Virgin smeared in excrement
The body of Christ in disembowelment
The words of Christ mocked and twisted

The Son of God called a bastard
The Word of God torn to pieces
The House of God desecrated
When all is told, when it’s said and done

I’d hate to be you!

3) Of Spirit and Power
6:36, lyrics:
Before the dawn we gather we are drawn
Moving in cold state
With hearts of fire, of Spirit and of power
We enter sacred halls to quench a thirst so vast so great
In these hallowed halls
Is knowledge for the Called
Derived from the Source
Our concoctions lain before us
Seven feasts arranged in chorus
Bowed heads signal entry of the force

Shiloh, Shiloh
Glory of battles won
Shiloh, Shiloh
Victories to come
Shiloh, Shiloh
Praise for battles fought
Shiloh, Shiloh
Crowns adorn the Sought

Teaching our eyes to see beyond our minds
Behold the spiritual realms
Revealing the war and what the Spirit has in store
These ancient mysteries provide a way
Drinking of blood and tasting bitter hyssop
Enlightening the soul
Accept this sacrifice
Disemboweling what’s inside
Laid in a watergrave and from this death we rise

Gannon, Chapman, Eckel
Standing proud to greet their sons
Upon seeing the destruction
To the enemy done
To the King they offer these Warriors of Blood

Drinking of blood and tasting bitter hyssop
Enlightening the soul
Accept this sacrifice
Disemboweling what’s inside
Laid in a watergrave and from this death we rise
For before the dawn we gather, we are drawn
Moving in cold state
With hearts of fire, of Spirit and of power
We curse the darkness and destroy our enemies

Curses and Destruction

4) Nightfall's Cold Kiss
5:30, lyrics:
The searing heat is fading
The fire that burned my skin
My blistered flesh is cooling
With the dying rays of Sun
Dying Sun

The howling winds bring comfort to my weary soul
And I close my eyes and welcome home
The Cold

The dawn of the season of death
Brings a grin to my parched lips
And now the very best of all
Nightfall

The moon in all its brilliance
Shimmers through the crystalled sky
To illuminate this winter’s night
And smiles as nature dies
Nature dies

I hear the silence as it permeates the dark
Like a mournful funeral dirge that’s nightly performed
I’m reborn

“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if home is where I lie, forever here I remain”

“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if it’s here I die, I’ll die satisfied…I’ll die satisfied

5) A Cruel Verse
4:54, lyrics:
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from its lair
It will destroy you!”

He will throw you down your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust

Your mothers and your daughters will be ravished
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!

He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!

6) Crucifixion
2:47, lyrics:
I have tasted grace, and it tastes like blood

7) Execution by Fire
4:41, lyrics:
Everyone who follows Satan’s evil schemes
Shall bring swift destruction on their heads
Exploiting their children with satanic lies
Harm for harm shall be destroyed and perish in their death
For My Lord did not spare the angels when they sinned
But He cast them straight to hell
Sodom and Gomorrah condemned
By burning them to ashes
Example of the sentence of the wicked

Throwing down in violence
With the serpent on fire
My Lord will execute
Judgment on all men
Many are those slain by My Lord

Hear the roar
Coming from the city
Tremble at His words
Hear the noise from the temple
It’s the wrath
The sound of my Lord
Repaying all His enemies all that they deserve

Now go out
Look on the dead bodies
Those who rebelled against my Lord
Their worm will not die
Their fire won’t be quenched
So now they rot in execution’s fury

Throwing down in violence
With the serpent on fire
My Lord will execute
Judgment on all men
Many are those slain by My Lord

Children of the Serpent, Oh accursed brood!
Their souls delight in their abominations
I will choose harsh treatment for them
I will bring upon them what they dread
For when I called no one answered
When I spoke no one listened to me
Doing evil in my sight
They shall meet their end together

When you face my wrath
You will pray for death
It will not come

8) Shattered Gods
6:07, lyrics:
I am the War Club
The weapon for battle
I shatter nations
I destroy kingdoms
I shatter horse and rider
Chariot and driver
I shatter man and woman
I shatter boy and maiden

I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!

Lift up the banner
Sound the trumpet
Prepare for battle
For I come like a locust swarm
You will become
A heap of ruins
A haunt for jackals
The object of horror and scorn

I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!

By Azahel, by Sebat
By Adonijah, by Qoheleth
How broken and shattered
Is the hammer of the earth!
How broken and shattered
Is the hammer of the earth!

Baal and Anubis, Belial and Osiris
Molech and Lillith, Odin and Ounis
I will throw you away
Like a menstrual rag
You are nothing more
Than menstrual blood!

Like whirlwinds sweeping
The invader comes
From a land of terror
My way is a whirlwind and storm
Silent! You Madmen!
I pile your corpses
On the lifeless forms
Of your worthless gods!

I come with a destroyer
And you will be shattered!
As in the days of Midian’s defeat
You will be shattered!
Stand with the gods of Marduk
And you will be shattered!
Devise your strategies
And you will be shattered!

9) Lord of Darkness
7:33, lyrics:
Colours now fading, the sun burns dark orange
The trees ominous silhouettes
Foul cease their chorus cold winds taking over
Howling through bleak crevasses

With the forest eclipsed sun
And black clouds erasing stars
The crescent moon hoarding its light for its own
I search for consolation that my world’s not ceased to be
I sense a night is dawning as never seen before…

I pray…

He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!

We walk through dark forests with hells down below us
Far rises oft blacken the skies
No sounds from above to guide as we roam
Only screams for mercy and more screams belie

So we wander, we forsaken?
Could this travesty be true?
That Creator cursed His creatures to this dark?
A distant thunder then reminds us that we are not alone
Leaving our blood-wrought eyes searching for a spark

One Spark!

He who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
He who formed the heavens with the darkness His foundations
He who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
Whose canopy around Him is the darkness of the sky
Come now… Take me!

A longing for the day of my Lord
A foolish and misguided desire
If you knew you would never welcome this wish
For that day is black as pitch abscessed light
Run as though you’re fleeing Anubis
Only to enter Death’s Door
Think you have rest betwixt silken sheets
No, it’s a bed of vipers he has laid in store!

So now my salvation rises above
So dark that it brightens my night
My nocturnal shining as blinding mid-day
I hear his voice echoing through my sighs

“It is I who forms the light, creating darkness for My own
Disaster from its stillbirth I behold
I will give you all the treasures of the darkness you desire
I’m your Creator For I know the deepest secrets of your soul

I who made the Pleiades and handcrafted dark Orion
I who parts the heavens with the darkness My foundations
I who dawns the blackness and darkens day to night
My canopy around Me is the darkness of the sky
Bow now… To Me!

I Am…I Am The Lord of Darkness…”

Born to Pieces (EP, July, 2008, Sullen Records)
Format: CD-R, limited 250 copies

1) Born to Pieces
7:21, lyrics:
I watch as this ink forms the words that I write
It flows from the tip of this pen, black with spite
As blood runs from deep it swells from inside
Anger so pure and hate so divine
Gazing through time as if present in mind
I awaken each horror to tell me their crimes
So eager to haunt me with boasts each in kind
This is the tale that began this rhyme

She slithers between the rope and razor
This thing is eating its way from inside
Her blackened mind knows she must be delivered
On this day one of them must die
Her dark shadow is the one that guides her
The battle's short and oh so sweet
With glazened gaze she acquiesces to the slaughter
Of this thing that beats inside so deep

To the house of the butcher
Into the eyes of the slayer
Before the alter of the massacre
Lay her. Flay her!

To the house of the butcher
Into the eyes of the slayer
Before the alter of the massacre
Lay her. Flay her!

To the house of the butcher
Into the eyes of the slayer
Before the alter of the massacre
Lay her. Flay her!

The man behind the mask grins to greet her
He is the one with the pitch-black soul
With skilled hands he binds her to the cold chair
Let the sacrifice begin
Like a ritual he begins to spread her
Invading her with the tools of his trade
Should a daughter be slain for sin's pleasure?
Her first sensation is the kiss of acid pain

Acid fills the darkness
Of the stretched out womb
Burning her flesh
To the bone
Enter the scalpel
The first cut is made
Separate her body
Severed limb from limb
Severed limb from limb
Severed limb from limb
Severed limb from limb

Another day of killing is over
The butcher slips into the night
A morbid thought I feel taking over
The words come - self defense by proxy
There is a shadow stalking this butcher
Get your scalpels - Let's have some fun!
His first awareness that he's what it's after
The cold steel of the barrel of the gun

Acid fills his mouth
Silent screams cannot be heard
The machete draws first blood
In this irony absurd
The blade thirsts for more
Limbs are hacked and hewn
I sicken at such gore
But then I am not like you

The slaughter of the Butcher
Deliverance of ten thousand
An end of the massacre
Preyed him! Slayed him!

The slaughter of the butcher
Is this of dark design?
Is this what God has in mind?
Such a small price to pay!

The slaughter of the butcher
Is this of dark design?
Is this what God has in mind?
Such a small price to pay!

The slaughter of the butcher
Is this of dark design?
Is this what God has in mind?
Such a small price to pay!


2) Pale Shadows
5:49, lyrics:
This, my prayer

Let me slit the throats of the sirens
Let me raze the walls of Troy
Let me grasp Mjollnir
Let me crush the head of Thor

Let me see the Golden Fleece
Hung rusted on its pole
Let me spill the blood of Elizabeth
And down her own throat pour

Grant me the strength
of the Wooden Stake
Grant me the strength
of Amulet Senoy

Let me violate Lilith
The whore of filth and dregs
Cast on her back, submissive
Craver of rancid sperm

Let me ascend the gates of Valhalla
Slay Valkyries and Einherjar
Drag Odin from its burning ruins
Again on the tree hang

Grant me the strength
of the Frostgiants
Grant me the strength
of Fenrir

Mocking Us
Fools to Us
Who's the Strong One now?
Bow to Us
Compared to Us
Shadows on the sun

Let me be the crusher of Satan
Let me be the one
Who sees him bow his knee
To You, Lord of Sabaoth

Let me be the crusher of Satan
Let me be the one
Who sees him bow his knee
To You, Lord of Sabaoth!

Odin
One eyed drunken fool
Lilith
Demonic filthy whore
Set-Hen
Bound in eternal dark
Lucifer
I laugh as you're cast down!
Down!
Impotent!

Let me be the crusher of Satan
Let me be the one
Who sees him bow his knee
To You, Lord of Sabaoth

Let me be the Serpent of Sabaoth
Devouring the spineless Marduk
Baal is only wood and stone
His canting prophets gone

Let me cause the Baphomet's throne
To be a place for human waste
Let me castrate the Baphomet
In Phallustine disgraced

Grant me the strength
of the Lord of Host
Grant me the strength
of the Holy Ghost

Mocking Us
Fools to Us
Who's the Strong One now?
Bow to Us
Compared to Us
Shadows on the sun


3) Immortals
3:43, lyrics:
I have immortal life through
The Blood of Jesus Christ, I
Was unleashed from the chains of sin and death
I will never die, no
Redeemed, life of freedom
Eternal salvation, seated in heavenly places

I am immortal
I live forever

How sweet it is
Not to fear death
And how sweet
To know …Truth

Now when you lay down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
But if you should die before you wake

Go ahead and meet your death
Go ahead and feed the worms
Be content to vanish after your demise
But I will not follow you, no
Your way so pitifully mortal
I’ve been unleashed from this coil I leave this life Immortal!

I am immortal
I live forever


4) Plan 2 (Saint cover)
8:13, lyrics:
No mercy for the devil no mercy for the foe
The King shall wad him up Throw him away
Then cast him to the rocks of never ending scald
This shall all take place Sure as you hear me say
He will burn the damned He will burn the beast
On that white throne day All will hear the cry
The evil one will die forever shedding tears of pain
Let's give glory to the King
He conquered death and hell to set His children free
Let's give glory to the King
He cleansed us from our sins He tasted death for all to see
Disaster it controls the hardened hearts of men
Providing them with pride and despair But He's the
King of all that lives and that breathes
He's the Lord of Lords His judgments are all fair
On that final day He'll rise above the clouds
All will see His wounds and sigh
It's plain for all to see He is the risen King
He has the keys to death and hell Attached on to His side
He will burn the damned He will burn the beast
On that white throne day All will hear the cry
The evil one will die forever shedding tears of pain
Let's give glory to the King
He conquered death and hell to set His children free
Let's give glory to the King
He cleansed us from our sins He tasted death for all to see
Let's give glory to the King
Now the devil hands are tied and none of us will have to die
Let's give glory to the King


5) When the Man Comes Around (Johnny Cash cover)
4:42, lyrics:
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw. And behold, a white horse.
There's a man goin' 'round takin' names. An' he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won't be treated all the same. There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around.

The hairs on your arm will stand up. At the terror in each sip and in each sup. For you partake of that last offered cup, Or disappear into the potter's ground. When the man comes around.

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singin'. Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum. Voices callin', voices cryin'. Some are born an' some are dyin'. It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom. Then the father hen will call his chickens home. The wise men will bow down before the throne. And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown. When the man comes around.

Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the words long written down, When the man comes around.

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singin'. Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum. Voices callin', voices cryin'. Some are born an' some are dyin'. It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

In measured hundredweight and penny pound. When the man comes around.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him.


6) Nightfall's Cold Kiss (A Treasury of Sorrows version)
5:32, lyrics:
The searing heat is fading
The fire that burned my skin
My blistered flesh is cooling
With the dying rays of Sun
Dying Sun

The howling winds bring comfort to my weary soul
And I close my eyes and welcome home
The Cold

The dawn of the season of death
Brings a grin to my parched lips
And now the very best of all
Nightfall

The moon in all its brilliance
Shimmers through the chrystalled sky
To illuminate this winter’s night
And smiles as nature dies
Nature dies

I hear the silence as it permeates the dark
Like a mournful funeral dirge that’s nightly performed
I’m reborn

“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if home is where I lie, forever here I remain”

“If eternity were made of this cold winter wind
And if it’s here I die, I’ll die satisfied…I’ll die satisfied


7) Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent
4:43

8) Nightfall's Cold Kiss (Acoustic)
6:01, lyrics:
You are the Ancient One
The Ancient of Days
The end and the beginning
The object of my praise
You’re the Morning Star
You’re the Midnight Sun
I Am that I Am
You’re the Victory won
You’re Lord Sabaoth
Father, Son, mysterious Ghost
Nefarious tremble in fear
Of Your terrible host
You make the Moon blood
Turn the Sun to black
You have slain thousands
With a single Spirit

We are adorers of blood
The Blood spilt from Your veins
The Blood we drink in Eucharist
The Blood we bathe our bodies in
Blood-wrought Salvation

You’re the Sacrifice of Blood
The Firstborn of the dead
Corpse fulfilled with sin
Word manifest to flesh
Slayer of serpents
Impending death of death
Castrator of sin
The bitter wine of Wrath
We are the possessed
Possession Aeternus
Your blood flows in our veins
We are The Victorious
Others charge You with murder
Others shake their fists at You
Others don’t realize
Your Blood covers them too

We are adorers of blood
The blood spilt from your veins
The blood we drink in Eucharist
The blood we bathe our bodies in

On that same night
I will pass through and strike down every firstborn
I will bring judgment on all gods
The Blood will be a sign for you
When I see the Blood, I will pass over you
No destructive plague will touch you
When I strike

Bathe me in Your Blood
Baptize me in Fire
Pour your Spirit on me
Fill my cup higher and higher and higher and higher and higher!!


9) A Cruel Verse (Rehearsal)
4:44, lyrics:
“For a spirit, evil, this way comes
Lament and howl, for this spirit from the North
As a lion coming up from its lair
It will destroy you!”

He will throw you down your blood splatters
You’ll be trampled underfoot, your body mangled
You’ll become as refuse on the ground
When they go to bury you, nothing will be found
For dogs will tear and eat your rotting flesh
Your bones will be crushed and turned to dust
But this is just a taste of your fate
In this, you can trust

Your mothers and your daughters will be ravished
Your pregnant wife, ripped open, torn apart
Your infant children will be crushed before your eyes
Wild beasts will steal your sons, they will devour
He will make your laughter turn to sorrow
He will turn your joy to agony
All that you have gained will burn in fire
He is on His way!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, you will feel Hell
It will be better for Gomorrah
Than for you on that Day!

He’ll smear the offal from your feasts on your face
Your sacred places will be filled with human waste
Your desolation, so cruel and complete
The flesh of your children you’ll hoard and eat!

Open your ears, listen well
When you’re destroyed, will feel Hell
Rise then, bathe in Blood of The Way
Then you’ll be spared this fate!

BANDCAMP + CD TRACKLIST
1) Goer
3:31, lyrics:
The path goes before me
But I cannot see the way
The darkness is blinding
The fog come surround me
And I cannot see the way

The light placed deep within me
Threatens to rip itself from my chest
Not lighting the path but pulling me
Down the way, a way I do not want to go

Closed eyes
Nightmares
Screams from the blackness
Cracking whips from all sides
Striking, tearing my flesh like adders
Terror in isolation
Through this path of thorns

Then suddenly
Opens the fog before me
With swirling flames of fire
I cannot believe
He's been this way before me
The Origin of my light
And into the darkness I go

The light deep inside (back into the darkness I go)
Tearing from my chest (back into the darkness I go)
Pulls me down dark paths (back into the darkness I go)
Back into the darkness I go

There was a printing error in the first batch of Rottweiler CDs. This error wasn't present in test pressings, but was somehow in the final product. As I understand, the discs themselves were fine, but the artwork for both featured CD2's tracklist, making CD1's artwork inaccurate. This was corrected later:
"We’re happy to say that the art snafus concerning the @frostlikeashes Hoarfrost compendium have been fixed. Thank you for your patience in this process. If you’d like a replacement Hoarfrost please email us at info@mythicpanda.com and INCLUDE your name, mailing address, and proof of purchase."[1]

The following info applies to the Rottweiler version:
Tracks 1-12 are on CD 1. The rest of the tracks are on CD 2.
NOTE: The original tracklist had "When the Man Comes Around" (Johnny Cash cover) in between "Plan 2" and "Nightfall's Cold Kiss". (Making it track 22 out of a new total of 25.) It seems this was removed at some point and was instead released as a single, shown below.

For the VoGR version, the Johnny Cash cover song is included, and is, as mentioned above, track 22 out of 25. Also, both CDs will be in one case for this version.
