Final Assault (demo)
20 August, 2005, Son of Man Records, CD-R, slimcase, limited 25 copies, sold out
1) The Rise and Fall of the Blasphemous Anti-Christ
1:12, lyrics unknown
2) Final Assault
2:55, lyrics:
Before even the dawn of time
victory had already been decided
Tyranists would not stand firm
God has the master plan and Satan must bow
Bow! Tyrants and demons from the gates
Behold your time hast come
At last we see victory
Conquerers, we are mighty in Christ
Satan's death will be our strength
Uphold your God arise
Chorus
Beware! For the battle grows long and gruesome
We must stand firm until the end
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
3) Desolate Cries
2:37, lyrics:
An empty soul, burdened with death
Morbid thoughts, a cluttered reality
Unspeakable pain, a world of emptiness
Is there a chance for salvation?
4) Goatlord
1:18, lyrics:
Christ is the victor
Satan has been defeated
Christ will over come and rule until the end
Destroy those of the goatlord
Goatlord
Feast on the flesh of the goatlord x2
Fighting is futile
Come join us and the victory is at hand
Abandon earthly treasures and join the Lord
Satan's army, no match for Christ
Feast on the flesh of the goatlord
5) Blackened Reality
5:47, lyrics:
A cold dark past is all that remains
Visions bound by chains now free
My heart once black with tortured thoughts
with visions of hate
Doomed for eternity
There was no hope for me
But by the blood of Christ I am set free
Looking for answers in places that do not exist
places that bind in peace and hope
In a living hell such places do not exist
I have been made white, pure as snow
Once focused on dark visions
I have now returned from immortal death
I have slain all impure
Blackened thoughts, blackened reality
unreal accountability
Living to justify my own actions
Only to be judged for my reactions
Blackened reality
Death was all around me
A never ending whirlpool of hate
A taste of hell is not too late
Accepting a choice
Hell or life
Damnation or Salvation
I have been made white, pure as snow
Once focused on dark visions
I have now returned from immortal death
I have slain all impure
Blackened thoughts, blackened reality
unreal accountability
Living to justify my own actions
Only to be judged for my reactions
Blackened reality x2
Unjustified living
A frail misgiving
Christ would give himself to me
Only to set me free
Give up worldly life
For eternal life
Can Hell be what you seek
Damnation or salvation
6) Valley of the Shadow (bonus track)
1:37, lyrics unknown

INFO:
1) The rest of the lyrics, including the first and last songs from "Final Assault". 2) More information on the "Delete Your Myspace" release. 3) Why did they call themselves "Cabalistic"? Just seems like an odd name for a Christian band -- and the lyrics do confirm they are Christian. 4) There is a listing for Final Assault on PureVolume. Was this a reupload of the entire demo? Or was it just a couple songs/samples?

Bottom: An thumbnail for one of their songs on Myspace. Not sure if it was meant to be used as artwork for something or not.
