1. The Third of the Storms (Evoked Damnation)



(Lyrics by Tom Gabriel Fischer)

(Music by Tom Gabriel Fischer)



Three days of absolute eclipse

Introduce the evoked tribunal

Hailstorms proof. They told us the truth



REFRAIN:

Total destruction

Mankind to Hell

Blind and insane

The misguided repent

But it's a bit late



In the heat of infernal lightnings

And in the shadows of poisoned clouds

The world will die under the sword of destiny



REFRAIN



Go out and see, the omens are here

A church is red, like blood of an angel

The rich and the poor, both will fall

Into the flames of malice



REFRAIN



----------------------------------------------------------

2. Massacra



(Lyrics by T. G. Fischer)

(Music by T. G. Fischer)



In moments of reflection

It all unfolds to me

I walk down through my mind

And feel a bittercold fear

What mankind did with pretence

Of religion and belief



REFRAIN:

Away is the sun

Endless the night

Mankind's massacra

Intelligence is dead



There have been satanic rites

In blood. Inverted crosses

Expulsion of all mortals

The "good" side isn't better

Holy inquisitors on arbitrary command

Through all blasphemic centuries



REFRAIN



REFRAIN



Destruction and hate

Sewage of faith

Ignorant souls

The decline goes on

Man will never learn

That religion's created by man



REFRAIN

3. Triumph of Death



(Lyrics by T. G. Fischer)

(Music by T. G. Fischer)



When you have been down in your grave... alive

Your mind decays and you're the coffin's slave

And when, at midnight, an uncanny bell tolls

Terrible noises, the dark graveyard calls



Limbs break through the dirt

Decay stinks like hell

Dark creatures in the fog

Crusted blood on the dead



Triumph of death!

Triumph of death!



Eurynomos sends his souls

Buried by horrible mistakes (Let me out)

You feel you're eaten by worms

And the night's alive again



When you have been down in your grave... alive, alive, alive

Your mind decays and you're MY coffin's slave

And when, at midnight, an uncanny bell tolls

Terrible noises, the dark graveyard calls... you, you, you, you, you



----------------------------------------------------------

4. Aggressor



(Lyrics by T. G. Fischer)

(Music by T. G. Fischer)



Was it tomorrow

Or will it be yesterday

When abolished, rotten instincts

Will, for the last time, be awake

And malice, slander, and hate

Will rule the ignorant heart



REFRAIN:

Aggressor - Deceiver of Reality - Aggressor

Aggressor - Inverter of Protection - Aggressor



The final chapter is yet unwritten

But the trail leads toward greed

Who will be the traitor

How many, all of them?

Ruthless is the creation

Created through pale ages



REFRAIN



Duplicated in confusion

Horizons of black fire

Thorns in the chosen's eye

Stench of false hails

Decline of all thrones

When only perception can survive



REFRAIN



Was it still tomorrow

Or yet will it be yesterday

When abolished, rotten instincts

Were, for the last time, ruling minds

Then... eternal silence

And the future remains the past



REFRAIN



Aggressor
