The address and phone number in the scans above were intentionally hidden by me.
These songs are available unofficially on YouTube, but it appears that some of the tracks may have been cut off a bit. Until this is cleared up, I'm not going to add the track lengths.
Notes from their website about each track:
1) Lyrics based on when Jesus exercised the demon from the man in the graveyard.
2) Lyrics based on King Herrod of the bible
3) Lyrics inspired by Satan’s ability to appear as an angel of light and make people believe that his evil is actually good.
4) This song is about man’s ability to turn from evil. Told in the fictional viewpoint of the son of Satan.
5) Lyrics about a man questioning God’s existence
6) (no commentary for this track)
1) Demonized
track length uncertain, lyrics:
Dancing naked in the moonlit graveyard
bathing in the spirit of evil
the demons obsession with the souls possession
sever all bonds of iron and steel
Demon eyes bleed, they cannot see
relentless screams, please Christ do not torture me
look into his eyes he no longer controls his mind
madman’s silhouette has become demonized
What is your name demon, my name is lots
I am in complete control as I poison his thoughts
Leave him now spirit of filth
I’ll show you mercy within the pigs
inhabit their souls. I shall drown the flesh
let their putrid carcass fill the lake
2) King of Worms
track length uncertain, lyrics:
Mangod, king of suffering
sits upon his throne within his fortress of pain
fall down, unto broken knees
before a man that claims he can see
Feasting upon his hunger for power
sends the squads to strike the enemy down
fearful soldiers that follow the orders
behead all those who threaten the crown
All those who defy, shall bleed , shall die
Looked not to the sky the harlot of death shall be your bride
Maggots devour your flesh as you squirm
All hail Herod, king of the worms
3) Within the Light of Satanas
track length uncertain, lyrics:
I am the star that sits in the sky
I hear you pray and watch you die
I know the end of the age as it comes
but I still don’t see the chosen ones
Your incense burns you to the ground
lost in your karma never found
I am the star that sits in the sky
behold you sink though your feeling high
what were those words that you had said
I swore I heard you calling to the dead
No crystals can save you now
just abandon this magic or drown
Within the light of Satanas
held between his withered wings
Earth beyond spirit, the black temptress
Shatter crystal minds
as karma bleeds the blind (pagan sign)
I am the star that sits in the sky
I saw the lord, he just marched by
I watch you hate and manipulate
I see him descending now, it’s too late
4) The Lost Son
track length uncertain, lyrics:
Astral demons of nether realm, captives of eternal night
sentinels of all that is evil
I command the legions that command the light
cast down for centuries to rule as my father’s right hand
I rule the forgotten souls that reap my infernal lands
Bow down to me, I’ll make you see, the sinners bleed
helltorn divinity
The lost son-straying from the ranks of Belial
the lost son-heir apparent to the devil
Aeons of bloodshed has cooled my heart
winters frost bears the crystals of life
reign of evil broken into two parts
one is to darkness as the other craves the light
hear me now great winds of change
bloodlet my heart of this rage
a new scroll shall be scribed
I shall now follow under a different sign
Oh my father, my fallen father
no longer shall I disguise, the truth to all your lies
5) From Beyond the Neverending
track length uncertain, lyrics:
Dusk transcends as I watch the moon rise
my heart beats in sync with the flicker from the firelight
I bury reason this night, I shall find meaning
what lies beyond the vast horizon
what lies beyond the neverending
In silence I wait and listen to the skies
to head the words they whisper
wisdom rides upon the breeze
in the multiple foundations of nature
On my knees, I pray through the night
yearning to solve the riddles of eternity
From beyond the neverending, a light descended from the sky
From beyond the neverending, eternal void of space in time
From beyond the neverending, quest to be divine
From beyond the neverending, the doubt will cease when I die
Through the dark forest I thrive
mesmerized by the cold autumn night
I awaken from the chill in the land of eternal mourning
sleepy eyes will cease to see
until all the questions have lost meaning
6) Ceremony of the North Winds
track length uncertain, lyrics:
Plunge into the waters of salvation, underneath it is so calm
banish this evil sensation, demons that slay me are gone
return to the land of man and beast, taste the salt of death
know this is the end that they await, part of the unseen plan
Reality comes back to me, as I appear above
a rebirth of sanity, the pact now sealed by blood
no rest for the moral, a vital task we receive
to blind the already distorted, and overthrow the living deceased
Frostbite - into my veins
Ceremony of the north winds
Slaughter - with no refrain
Ceremony of the north winds
Haunted I raised my sword, ceremony of the north winds
hail the gods of light, ceremony of the north wind

1) Does anyone own this CD, and can confirm what the track lengths are?
IMAGES:
All pictures of the CD artwork. I am deeply grateful to the person who sent me these scans over a year ago (your name escapes me right now -- I'm sorry!) but since Blogspot allows larger images than the site I was previously on, I really try to get as much out of that as I can.
