1. The Burning & Curse Of The Witches 7:31
In middle dark ages begins the persecution
Beginning of pain and Catholic corruption
Persecuting those accused of sorcery
From Hell those hypocrites will never be free
Witches and wizards were burned in pyre
Tortured and hanged, condemned to death
Winds of death blows in their pale face
Their cruel blood thirst stood out of control...

The burning and curse of the witches
Searching for a supposed reason to kill
The burning and curse!
Diabolical men, rotting the name of Christ...

Many innocent died in those dark days
Tortured and burned, a high price to be paid
Loud shouts came from the masses:
"Burn the evil witches, we want to see the blood!"
Priests: "Even the innocents, we wish their richness!"

Horripilate screams came from the stakes
The possessed priest accomplished his rules
Sending many souls to the gates of Hades...

Losing their heads by guillotine's blade
The witches dying agonizing in pain
Spitting blasphemies and curses again
Their damned mouth hurts with many plagues
Beautiful white fleshes are melting in fire
Full of vanity, lust and carnal desires
Too much beautiful women burning in flames
I think is real, their beauty is corroded...

Is a darker time than all days before
Is a colder age than all ages before
Their bodies burn like an ancient forest
Reduced, diminished to ashes and dust...

Leaded by corrupted black church
The clergy don't accepted other religion
No one could quest the autonomy
And supremacy of the putrid church!
Heresies, impiety, injustice
Of the infernal eyes of the opportunist Pope
They are so putrid, sinners
Lying, sayings have no sins
Full of malice, lust, and delight
Dressed in gold, while poor ones starve
They want to be better than God
But they are putrid rotting flesh!
They raised a darkness empire
Full of demons of cruelty
To unleash the name of the beast
Diabolic, putrid, Catholic church!

2. Carpathian Forest Witch 5:45
Riding through Carpathian forest by night
Whispers and screams I hear through the woods
There lived a malefic and cruel
She lived in a cursed castle among the pines
Launched her spells in the peasants of woods
Her blood-thirst was insatiable
Drunk and bathed in pure blood of virgins
Her pact with Satan don't let she grown old

A beast in a beautiful body
Sensual Gothic black dress
Possessed, malign, killer, libertine
Beware, protect your throat
She descended of vampire's family
Great black lords of Romaine
Those were under a black curse
Damned Transylvania vampires

In a full-moon night, a shadowy night
She done sacrifices of bodies and blood
Killed and killed again in the name of Satan
Her white skin was red by the blood
Her eyes turned into eyes of vampire
Her teeth grown up, like a wild beast
Horrible, horripilate transfiguration
"This is what Satan does to his slaves!"

The Countess thought, "I need your pure blood
To still alive in delights
The hot blood that runs in your veins
Is my wine to the eternal life!"

The vampires hunter, "I pray for your soul
Poor creature of darkness
Arrested in deepest abyss
Only He can save your soul
Only He can set your free
From this evil curse of generations
Break the ice of your black heart
Elohim can save your soul
Only Lord Ieshua can set you free!"

(Go out of hell, go out of the dark mistress Bathory)

3. Ceremonial Sacred Ritual 4:50
We praise the God who resurrected
Thy glory be eternal
Oh supreme Christ, all kneel before Thee
In Gloriam Diem they'll bow
And ask for mercy at Your face
And Thy face will blind them forever
Before Thee, the dead will rise from the grave...

In ceremonial sacred ritual
We'll worship and praise Thy holy name!
Worshiping Your sovereign holy name
The shadows go away in majestic sky
Thou art so high, the aurora boreal
The fire that hits in my lonely soul
In cold nights of winter
Nordic winds freeze
But my soul prevails hitting by fire
Oh, Saint Lord of justice
We're part of Christ's body
In ceremonial sacred ritual

In ceremonial sacred ritual
We'll worship and praise Thy holy name!

I am Thy word messenger and servant
And for thee I live in hard sacrifice
This is the true sense of life in this world
The mortal fools will never understand

Ceremonial sacred ritual
Ceremonial sacred ritual

4. Fanatic Ceremony Ritual 7:08
We praise the supreme majesty of Christ
Worship and glory to His holy name
We'll drink the blood in a sacred ceremony
To turn in eternal creatures

Your words are written in the book of wisdom
Hit our souls and free us from spells
Of the dark and cold eternal night
Nocturnal winds blow the unfaithful ones

Fanatic ceremony ritual
Fanatic ceremony ritual
Glory to the Lord!
All glory be given to the Lord!
Only the fanatics that inhabit in Thee
Will always prevail, eternally
The blood of Christ purifies my soul
For this we glorify the Master Lord
In a cold and dark tenebrous time
The perverted creatures rot away
Controlled by darkness, spell of the witch
The world dies and only fanatics will win

Fanatic ceremony ritual
Fanatic ceremony ritual
All glory be given to the Lord!

In the great cathedral
In tomb we carry Your name
Oh Lord, how many are the weak
But from Thee flows the force of life

"We worship the almighty Lord
Because He lives and reign
For centuries and centuries
Before the bastard, traitor surge."

5. Hosannas In Extremis 4:18
Ave Christ, Hosannas in Extremis!
Ave Christ, Hosannas in Extremis!

I'm not alone since I have turned to Christ
Then He had took me out of the darkness
In the night I saw the light in shadows
The Book of Life is eternal like the Nordic night!

I turned to Christ... He gave me the sense of life
I would had died in suicide with the sadness inside
He sets me free from the sorrow in mind, and my heart
From disturbs and pain...
Now I'm a new creature and liberated from Hell's way
Thanks, my Supreme Lord, immortal, for His grace, to my soul!

I praise the Lord... Alone in the dark, I walked through the night
But my Lord heard my cries in the shades of my painful dark paths

Thanks to my Lord! For liberated me from diabolical shadows!

I'm not alone since I have turned to Christ
Then He had took me out of the darkness
In the night I saw the light in shadows
The Book of Life is eternal like the Nordic night!

I turned to Christ... He gave me the sense of life
I would had died in suicide with the sadness inside
He sets me free from the sorrow in mind, and my heart
From disturbs and pain...
Now I'm a new creature and liberated from Hell's way
Thanks, my Supreme Lord, immortal, for His grace, to my soul!

I praise the Lord

Hosannas in Extremis!
Hosannas in Extremis!
Hosannas in Extremis!
Hosannas in Extremis!

6. Transylvania 1:33
7. Inside The Darkness 5:34
Candles are burning, Messiah's returning
Feeling cold fears, the shadows around
The man in black is there, my black eyes stare
With the forces of evil I am aware
I hear a tenebrous and macabre sound
Coming straight the underground
The castle is haunted, cemeteries found
Below the castle that is in damnation

Inside the dark castle I fear no more
I saw many bathtubs filled with corpses, gore
The place were countess bathed
But she is no more here
Searching virgins yet innocent
She's so malign, cruel and dement
Inside the dark castle
Inside the dark castle of the witch!

But I know, the dead can't come back
Is thing of the devil, the demons attack
I sleep alone in the dark of my home
Inside a dark coffin full of putrid bones
But I'm not alone, my fears have gone
I see the stones of the catacombs
Place of the corpses where sleep my parents
Frozen bodies who knew no regret
Inside the darkness
Inside the castle of the witch
I am the light that shines in the dark
The evil one can't touch my soul!

Inside the dark castle I fear no more
I saw many bathtubs filled with corpses, gore
The place were countess bathed
But she is no more here
Searching virgins yet innocent
She's so malign, cruel and dement
Inside the dark castle
Inside the dark castle of the witch!

Angels of darkness, angels of light
Begun a battle
Sawn in spiritual eyes
They take a war for my lost soul
Demons of darkness want to keep control
But I could not slumber in peace
I invoked the powerful Name!
I saw angels falling in flames
Wishing accuse, but I'm not to blame
My soul will not burn in eternal flames
I called the name of the Lord!
Ieshua, Christ, Lord of the sky!

8. Into The Dark Forest Of Shadows 5:24
As I am lost through dark paths of the night
There is so black, tenebrous, dark and cold
Man are my fears and I cry black tears
No one but an angel by my side
Holy Ghost as my guide
Without choose I am forced
To enter in dark castle and there begins
My spiritual battle among the dark side
Beyond the dark diabolical forest

Among the dark forest of shadows
Among the dark forest of shadows

Among the dark forest
Through valleys of night
Beyond the dark forest of shadows
The place where I'm lost my soul
Among the dark forest of shadows

Whispers in shadowy night call my name
Saying, "Welcome, thank you for came"
Beyond ancient forest, the bastard said
Passing the forest, soon comes the graveyard
Through graves and tombs I started my long walk
Cold is blowing my face and the snow falls
I stepped in a grave, my foot gone down
Desperate I cried and hold in a cross

Dark forest of shadows
Dark forest of shadows
The dark forest of shadows

Symbol of Christ's sacrifice
I've felt His hands holding me
From that devil's trap I could flee
I could see those red eyes upon me
Watching me behind the trees
Wishing to kill and devour my soul
But guarded under the spell
The Holy blood of Jesus protected me

And nothing can touch my flesh
Nothing can touch my spirit
No even the wild beasts
That inhabit the forest

"The dark forest I have to across
To arrive in the dark castle
I have to face the fear and the frost
Crossing the cemetery and its tenebrous gates"
(There beyond the graveyard
The haunted castle waits for me)

9. Darkness Way 0:51
10. Vampire 4:50
Hallowed be Thy blood, oh, my Lord
Hallowed be those that praise Thee
Hallowed be the faithful ones
Long live to our immortal Lord
The nocturnal freeze of the creatures
That worship and praise Thy name
Oh Lord, take care for my soul
The realm of vampires wants to take the world

Vampire, to carry on
Hidden in the dark
Live undead, cursed creatures!
I'm a vampires hunter at night
They fear the light of my holy soul
My crucifix burns and hurts their flesh
My stake pierces their heart
And brings them to death
With my deadly sword of justice in hand
I kill them and cut out their head
These malignant creatures can't touch me
Because the son of my Lord

Vampire, to carry on
Hidden in the dark
Live undead, cursed creatures!

They sleep in coffins by day
And by night they go out to hunt
They leave their dark castle in mountains
To search for innocent victims to bite
They bite their neck, sucking the blood
Turning others also in vampires
Young virgins are their better prey
Only Jesus can free the condemned souls!

11. Beyond The Cemetery Gates 4:52
I pass beyond cemetery shadows
Haunting me, steps, following me no more
I feel not fear, demons can't touch me
The sleep of the dead, I know they can't come back
I look to the tombs of a Christian cemetery
Where a noble family was buried
Vermin can't corrode the frozen corpses
Takes of a little girl from that rich family...

I walk through the garden of sorrow and sadness
Beyond those wall where the shadows haunt
Many were dead for the name of Christ
Their bodies are dead but their soul still alive!

(I search for you in my dreams
But now you are a cold corpse
Beyond the cemetery gates)

Beyond the cemetery gates
Beyond the cemetery gates

The tale tells that she grown in cemetery
Full of sadness and sorrow, endless pain
An empty hollow, she revolted and hate grown
Black was her heart, always in bereavement
A man in black offered his help (and richness)
Just to serve he, so she gone dwell
In a castle, inheritance of her parents
And then she was not seen never more

Beyond the cemetery gates
Beyond the cemetery gates

"And so I reflected
This shall be just a tale
A sad history of villages
Beyond the frozen mountains
And funeral forests
From the mild people of village
That lives in distant lands
Beyond cemetery gates"

Passing through the torment
Of the ancient cemetery
I left behind sad histories
Graces to God, He sets me free
From the wild beasts of the forest
From the deadly devil traps
That almost buried me alive
But the Man of the Cross saved me
He had mercy for my soul

12. Diabolical Illusion 6:02
I live in an endless putrid world of pain
Full of darkness, rottenness, growing evil and hate
Proud people without feelings of love for themselves
Libertines full of greed, malice and perversion
Controlled by Satan, puppets on strings
They dance the dance of death so blind
Following the cruel, eternal path to Hell
They don't know the truth behind the lies...

They live in a dark diabolic illusion
Thinking the world will become better days
Hypnotized, alienated and blind
Arrested in cages of flesh and delights
They just pleasures and richness in their lives
They denied the Biblical rules of the Lord
Chosen to follow their own Satanic rules
The human being thinks to be above the Lord...

In dark illusion they live and need
To find the eternal truth!

But one day they will be judged, forever
Condemned for their own abominable deeds
The eternal laws of God never change
The man wants to be himself god in his own
We are just little creatures made by God
Created to serve and exalt the Lord
The original sin was ended on the cross
By the sacrifice of Lord's son, Jesus Christ...
Thanks very much, for know the truth
For not be blind like the others
I worship and praise Thee, for my salvation
I once was a slave, now I'm free

The Count's poem:
(For His grace and love for my soul
Lord, I cannot thank you with simple words
This world will rot and pass away forever
And I go to Heaven, without sorrow, death and pain)

1. Symphony Of The Flesh God 4:10
Apocalypsis... Apocalypsis...
Apocalypsis... Apocalypsis...
Apocalypsis... Apocalypsis...

Tear apart the sage and burn the witch
Preach the fear of God in your filth - becoming rich
Lined in gold you twist the words of God
Succumb to the flesh and drink its crimson blood

You all dance
To the symphony of the flesh god
Sin be your name
As you take his name in vain

I can see
The blackness before me
Calling my name
From the pulpits of the profane

Burden the innocent, to mammon make them submit
Profit from the slaughtered Lamb of God - in his face you spit
Lie to the blind sheep as your words spew forth
Become an unholy man of God - while holding Satan's torch

You all sway
To the symphony of the flesh god
Lust be your name
The devil's heart you cannot tame

I can see
The blackness before me
Calling my name
From the pulpits of the profane

2. Synnisä 4:36
Saastaisuuden henki, haureuden verkko
Kansa demonien huorana, syvälla synnisä ja pahuudessa
Synnin keskeltä kuuluu vanhurskaan valitus
Itku ja hammasten kiristys

Iloiten juoden riivaajien maljasta
Täyttäen sydämensa pahuudella
Synnin keskeltä kuuluu vanhurskaan valitus
Hiipivä hulluus ja mielen pimennys

Ahneuden valtaamana, etsien nautintoa
Maa raikastaan ja sen kurjat tuhotaan
Synnin keskeltä kuuluu vanhurskaan valitus
Elämansä kadottaneen ja kyllästyneen rukous

"Herra, oliko sodoman synti suurempi kuin mediän?
Me olemme sodoma, tuhoi meidät
Sillä me olemme kääntäneet kasvomme pois sinusta
Hävitä, tai puhdista meidät"
Maa on saastunut ja synnistä kulunut
Se on asuinkelvoton, sillä hyvyys kadonnut
Synnin keskeltä kuuluu vanhurskaan valitus
Pimeyden kirous ja rangaistus

Niiton aika koston päivänä
Kun kansat tukitaan ja teoistaan tuomitaan
Synnin keskeltä kuuluu vanhurskaan valitus
Parannusken teko ja puhdistus

3. Adonai 7:08
Father, forgive me for my life (for my life)
I was forsaken in my eyes (in my eyes)
See this redemption in the light (in the light)
Only the forgiveness in Adonai (Adonai!)

Adonai

4. The Last Temptation 5:47
5. Damons Lullaby 4:25
6. Priests Of Perdition 5:44
"A lip to the earth, a lip to heaven, and a tongue to the stars, so that Ba'al may enter his inwards, yea, descend into his mouth as scorched is the olive, the produce of the earth, and the fruit of the trees."
The end is near!

My plague is set forth by Resdepth
Astarte give me your strength
Moloch rain fire on them
Destroy the spirit in damnation
Go forth and claim what is ours
Burn their bodies and let them revolt

Push and set forth the plagues of lies
Slice the flesh and break the bones
Break the grave so they beg for life
Cast in sin
Into satanic strife
Preach the false
Conjure it right
Twist the word
Hold on tight
We, the priests of perdition
Bringing the end of salvation
Wicked blood does not flow
From the pulpits as the fire grows

We are false prophets
Blackness we do breed
Mindless sheep follow
Religion be our seed

Inverted cross
Forget our sins
We become God
Until tribulation ends

We shall suffer for our transgressions
When we have to face the Lamb of God
We will be forced to kneel
At the end of the awakening
He will expose our false gods
And take all the power
We, the wicked, once ruled the earth
Dead are we in the end
The end
The end...
In the end...

7. Nexion 5:27
Satan's fire
Burning bright
In the churches
Perdition's blight
Abraxas
From Gnostic sight
Wings of knowledge
Clipped from fright
They fear what they do not know
Plague the mind with insurrection
Cannot see past their own shadow
Death from greedy unholy destruction
I can raise the dead
Bound my hands and watch me rise
Tear my flesh and it will heal
Drink my blood so none will die
Souls in tatters
Ripped apart
Screaming endless
Wanting death to start
Demons gather
For the ritual of slaves
Sheol opens
From their grave

I can raise the dead
I can raise the dead
I can raise the dead
I can raise the dead

8. Kunnia Herralle 4:37
Ikiakainen luoja, ennen aikojen alkuja
Kansojen kurittaja - oikeuden tuoja
Kaiken kuluttava tuli
Aina muuttumaton
Ei alkua eika loppua
Ikuinen kuolematon

Kauhu käy kasvojesi edessä

1. Betrayal Of Eve 2:58
Serpent:
"Come with me oh daughter of Yah
Sit and rest a while
I want to open up your eyes
And show you a new world
You see you've been lied to
You see you've been lied to by your God
By your God

I am your liberator
I am the serpent seed
I am filth within you
I am the God you can be."

Eve: Taste the apple Adam

Adam: What is this Eve? What is this that you brought? You went to the tree?

Eve: Bite the apple Adam

Adam: No! Abba forbade it!

Eve: Taste the apple Adam

No! What have you done? What have you done? No!

Eve: Bite it

Eve: Bite the apple Adam
Eve: Bite the apple Adam
Adam: Yes my love

Eve: Bite the apple Adam
Adam: Yes my love

Eve: Taste the apple Adam

Adam: I shall see like Him
Adam: We shall become like Him

Eve: Adam taste the apple

2. Mstr Hchvshm 5:45
I hear a liar
Speaking to the sheep
I bare the Savior
Your words fall at his feet

I see the masses
Follow along in endless sleep
Blindly become sinners
Dancing with the master of sheep

Kiitetty, Sinä Herra
Jumalamme, koko maan
Ja taivaan Luoja

Kiitetty, Sinä Herra
Jumalamme, koko maan
Ja taivaan Luoja
I feel the accuser
Buy your way into damnation
Cut your wrists with prideful ease
With the razors of blasphemy

In Nomine Rex Mundi
Your God of flesh will make you bleed
Surrendering all things holy
Impregnated by demon seed

You must repent!
And surrender your life!
The time is almost nigh
He comes like a thief in the night
Let us pray!

Baruch atach Adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam
Baruch atach Adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam
Baruch atach Adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam
Baruch atach Adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam

3. Homage To The Dead 6:33
I was dead inside
She was taken from me
A serpent's kiss
Set my demons free

Harnessed pain
Streaming in my veins
I cut my wrists
I go insane

I was once a Lucifer's child
Worshiped only myself
When I saw a blinding light
That brought me out of hell
It spoke to me in vision sight
As many night and days fell
See the world with his eyes
A God made flesh will prevail

Bowing down
To a dead man
That gave me his life
In his blood I bathe
Washed away my strife
I nailed myself to a tree
To sacrifice my flesh
Demons bow to his name
My sin is laid to rest

I can't believe my eyes
He died for me
He died for me
It's time to pay homage to the dead

1. I Come To You For Guidance 6:00
Dear great and merciful Father
I forever praise Your name
I come to You for guidance
For all the choices I must make in this life

Please give me the understanding
To make the best decisions
For my friends and family
So I can be an asset to them
To best do Your will

I wish to base all my choices
On Your infinite wisdom
As You know what's best for me
And can do for me what I cannot do for myself

2. To Be The Best Representation Of My Faith 5:52
Beloved boundless and powerful God in heaven
I adore and love You
You have given me this life
And the free will to have my faith in You

I know I will make mistakes in my life
My emotions will be illogical
And I will unintentionally harm and offend others

I desire to be an example
To be the best representation of my faith
For everyone involved in my life

Please grant me the humility
To promptly admit my wrongdoings
And minimize the errors I will make

3. Your Glory And Power 6:54
Dear wonderful and limitless Creator
My faith is in You
Thank You for sending Your Son
Jesus Christ
With His gift of salvation
To provide everlasting life

I know there are skeptics
And those who exalt evil
I earnestly pray that they come to see

To maintain my health

So that I may eternally glorify You
In the next

Dear vast and compassionate Founder of life
Your love and kindness completes me
Through the teachings of Your Son Jesus Christ
I thrive in my life on earth

You are more than just Creator of the universe
The strength you've given me
Allows me to triumph over any trials I may face

Please help me to be closer to You
And guide me to base all my decisions
On Your will

On a daily basis, I want to increase
My spiritual connection with You

2. In Awe Of Your Greatness 6:14
Cherished significant and mighty God
I am in awe of Your greatness

Years back, when I insisted on
Living life on my terms
On my will
You brought me redemption
Gave me the serenity and wisdom
To not only restore my life
But become a blessing to those
Instead of a burden

Please lead me to Your blessings
And aid me in balance and maintenance
I do not wish to revert back into darkness
Or exhume old behaviors

Please clear my mind and
Direct my focus on You

3. Fulfiller, Sustainer, Preserving Protector 7:08
Dear magnificent and immeasurable Designer
I will eternally praise Your name
You are the most high, divine Inspirer
Compassionate Lord, forgiving Savior

I look forward to eternity with You

I feel privileged to be one of Your children
With Jesus Christ in my heart and life
I am never alone

My celestial Father provides and cares

4. Divine Peace And Contentment 6:48
Remarkable and Holy Lord Jesus Christ
I strive for divine peace and contentment
I cannot will alone, for myself to be joyful
But by being an example to others
And doing Your will
I find true bliss

I realize that nothing happens
In God's world by mistake
And as one of God's children
I don't crawl before anyone

My life is but a ripple
In this vast universe
But if I can make a difference
In one person's life
By providing a kind word
Or being a shoulder to lean on
I am being a resource to
All of mankind

This brings happiness

5. In Your Grace 7:03
Beloved and extraordinary Teacher
I thank You for everyone in my life
By the way I act, according to Your instructions
I have no enemies

Everything happens for a reason
There is an opportunity to learn
From every person I've met

Please guide me to have an open mind
For in humility, I know I don't have
All the answers

Help me to learn from others
And grow in Your grace

6. The Audition For Success 6:58
Lord Christ Jesus
I have the utmost gratitude
For the lessons I have learned

I realize that every obstacle
And discomfort I face
In my daily circles
Are only temporal
And not too great to handle

Every hindrance is an opportunity
And a chance to grow
I am extremely thankful that
Every challenge I face
Is the audition for success

7. I Will Glorify You Forever 6:22
Cherished Supreme Lord in the Heavens
You are worthy of all praise
No one can measure Your greatness
And I proclaim Your glory
Openly and vigorously

I pray on Your splendor
And the miracles You have performed
You are filled with endless love

Whenever someone is hungry
And thirsts for You
You are there

You do not deny anyone
Who seeks You

Oh Bringer of truth and light
I will glorify You
Forever and ever

1. Within You Is Healing, Comfort And Rest 6:33
Divine Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and Holy Father
I ask for Your help

It feels as if my flesh is cursed
I am frail and weak
Pain walk with me
Death stares at me

Help me to keep
My focus on You
As not to be distracted
By my ailments
For within You is healing
Comfort and rest

Please remove my maladies
I wish to remain on this earth
To laugh, live and love
And worship You

Merciful God
I thank You for the blessings
You have given me
And I'll do my part
To maintain my strength
Endure pain
And ignore death

2. That My Spirit Be Made Whole 7:39
O Great and Wise
Creator of all life
I am in need of You

My mind and spirit
Are affected by illness
Incessant and relentless
Is my affliction
Suffering and agony
Wish to take place
In my heart

Please help me to fight
Bitterness and contempt
Allow me to find
The utmost joy
In moments I have relief

I pray to You my Lord
To have serenity
And that my spirit
Be made whole
So that my mind and body
Will follow in healing

3. Overwhelmed With Gratitude 8:25
Praise be to God
Jesus Christ as redeemer
And protector of His children

I am overwhelmed
With gratitude
That I do not have to face
Trials alone

When despair and tragedy
Made its way into my life
My friends and family
Even acquaintances
And kind strangers
Were there
To help my spirit
And lend their support

In the past
When I have tried to battle
My obstacles alone
I have failed

With the aid of humanity
And the Almighty God
I cannot only survive
But thrive in this
Ever-changing world

4. Eternity With My Lord And Savior 8:58
Blessed are You
Eternal Father
The Son, the Christ
The Holy Light

Your power is limitless
Your compassion
Knows no bounds
Your love is astonishing
And I marvel in Your glory

Blessed am I
To be provided
The spiritual food I need
For those who seek You
Shall surely find

Everything in this world
Has a season
Everything I will ever know
Will eventually rot and decay

While I wish to stay
On Earth with the ones I love
I look forward to eternity
With my Lord and Savior

Oh wondrous King of Kings
I pray that everyone
Will draw to You

How remarkable it will be
In Your presence
With no pain, no suffering
No disdaining thoughts or actions
And strife will fade away

Just pure peace and joy
Love and kindness
With our Savior
Forever

5. Beauty In Your Creation 7:31
Extraordinary and remarkable
Lord of the Heavens
Earth and Universe
I praise You with all of my being

I thank You for the choices
I can make, and my free will
Of action and thought

Despite the hindrances
In an imperfect world
There is much joy to have

There is much beauty
In Your creation
I stand in nature, silent
And marvel at the details

The laughter I have
Is rewarding and healing
I do not wish to take life
Too seriously

I am grateful that
Love triumphs over bitterness
And that a positive perspective
Brings with it a durable calm

1. To Turn This Ailment 6:47
Oh great Healer and Protector
Jesus Christ in heaven
Please carry me through
The path of pain

For a long time
I have suffered
With sickness and discomfort

Cancer has taken from me
Quality of life
Forcing me to rely on others
For a year

I know there is a reason
I have survived
I know there is a reason
That I am going through this

I continue to pray
For relief of my symptoms
For the knowledge of Your will
And that one day
I will be able to turn this ailment
Into strength

2. Your Presence And Strength 7:10
Lord
I seek and love You
And am in awe of
Your breathing beauty

I immerse myself
In nature
Everywhere I look
I am surrounded by life

The wind carries Your song
The trees surge in Your name
Wildlife reflects Your design

Witnessing Your works
On this earth
With eyes You have created
Fills me with amazement

I praise You
Holy Lord God
That everywhere I look
I am reminded of
Your presence and strength

3. Conflicted 6:53
Glorified and praised
Holy God on the throne
Your kindness is abundant

For all the trails
I have faced in my life
I find myself conflicted
In my mental well-being

Depression
Anger turned inward
Distracts me
From what's really important
For this time on Earth

I cannot fix my thinking
With corrupt thinking

Jesus, I come to you
For mental guidance
To focus on You
And the joys of life

I constantly strive
To prevail in my outlook
As my perception
Creates quality life

4. Comfort That Never Fails 6:40
Christ the Liberator
I once again seek You
I need Your comfort
That never fails

While there are many
Joys to be had in life
I see many who struggle

Please guide me
To be able to aid those
Who are down in life

I come to You
To say the right things
And that my advice
Will benefit them

Holy God, assist them
That they come to You
Life doesn't have
To overwhelm
In the light of Your glory

5. Missing The Answer 6:28
Living and breathing God
Of this universe
I celebrate in Your glory

I've encountered individuals
That do not know You
They seem to wander aimlessly
In life, missing the answer

I wish to tell everyone
About Your saving grace
How a relationship with You
Enhances living

Please enable me
With the courage and the words
To make an impact

Praise be to the Lord
Jesus Christ
I hope everyone will
Come to know You

6. A Better Example 6:15
Dear Christ the King
Son of God and Inspiring Force
Please use me to reach others
In Your name

I know I fall short
And I am a sinner
I am filled with gratitude
That You have paid
For my sins

I wish to repent
From old behavior
Please use Your blood
And wash me pure

I know I can make progress
In the choices I make
I can be a better example
On how to live

I yearn to be like Christ
To be a beacon of love
And a comrade to those
Who are in need

7. Points Of Contrast 8:12
Excellent and remarkable
Deity known as God the Father
Son and Holy Spirit

You have many followers
And many feel Your presence
But differences in doctrine
And tradition
Have created conflict

I pray to You
That we can set aside
Points of contrast
And keep Your love
And glory as our core

We will be known
As Christians for our love
To be the best portrayal
Of Christ as we can

Please help us to understand
That what's really important
We already have

Salvation and love
Through You

1. My Lord Is Still Here 7:13
Jesus Christ
Creator and Savior of all
I wish to think
On what is righteous, just
Noble and pure

I know You are always with me
Even when I am distracted
And far away in thought

My Lord is still here

Please cleanse my mind
Point me toward Your will
Deliver me from despair
And any trouble
Real or imagined

For with You, I know no fear
The God of all is in control
You have given me
A firm place to stand
And have placed a song
In my heart

2. Christ Fill My Heart 7:05
Blessed Redeemer
Please take my anger, hate
Resentment and stubbornness

Christ, fill my heart
With love, laughter and song

I wish to be virtuous
I long to be like You
Lord enable me to help others
And be patient in all things

Everything I know on this earth
Is temporary
I strive to invest in spirituality
Than this world and its controversy

Enrich me with hope
Remind me of your holiness
Teach me how to love others
As You have loved me

3. Trve Holy Black Metal 6:25
Lord, I blow to You in worship
You made me the way I am
I am Your soldier
And Your instrument in song

I shout the praises to
The one true holy God
Who was and is and is to come

Jesus Christ
The world is Your domain
With my abilities You've granted
I perform for You

I have been saved from hell
From the grasp of sin and death
Because of that, this music
Is in Your name

Trve Holy Black Metal
With crashing cymbals and melody
This music is my threshold
To exalt You, the Most High

4. The Forgiver 7:26
Dear Heavenly Father
I thank You for the rest
You have given me
When I was weary with illness

Christ, the Forgiver
You were pierced
For our transgressions
And crushed for our iniquities
You have redeemed my life
From the darkest abyss

There is much pain in this life
But You have freed me
From suffering

I will do God's work
While I am still here
But I eagerly await the day
When sorrow, pain
Death and sin
Will pass away

5. A Reflection Of Your Design 6:46
I rejoice in my salvation
I am joyful to the Lord
My God, You are everything to me

Because of my joy in You
I desire to praise Your name
My head is filled with music
My art is a reflection of Your design

With my Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ
In my heart and life
I will put to use
The gift of music
That I have been given

When I create
Powerful songs
With moving emotion
I am overwhelmed with joy
That I can praise you
For eternity

6. I Reject Evil 6:57
O most holy Christ
You have heard our cries
You are the stronghold
For my extended Christian family

Everything You have willed
And allowed
Is what's best for me
Even if it's not my plan

I reject evil
I do not desire what is false
My suffering has made me steadfast
For You have held me firm

Please let these compositions
Be a reference to Your grace

Help me to tell those
Who wander in darkness
That Jesus is the Light
The destruction of turmoil
And Everlasting Peace




When We Are Wounded (album)

October 5, 2018, Christian Metal Underground Records (Digital)
October 6, 2018, Christian Metal Underground Records (CD)

1. Antithesis 4:55
To the Christian death
And Christian black metal scenes
I am pleased
There are those who follow Christ
Who enjoy harsh and brutal metal

Lyrical themes about
Killing demons
And eviscerating devils
Is dangerous and petty

Pure hate is pure poison
Saying words of violence
Just to offend the other side
Helps nothing

Christian metal should be
Spiritually wholesome
Entertainment for those
Who accept or tolerate
Christian values

Dear Gracious Lord
I pray that we can all
Set aside words of violence
Toward hate and intolerance
And replace those with words
Of love and acceptance

We come together
Through You oh God
Not through
The spirit of antithesis

2. Arguing Over Doctrine 4:50
To the churches
And followers of Christ who attend
I implore you to be more inclusive
And less corporate

I am grateful there are many programs
To help Christians who attend
Learn and grow
But arguing over doctrine
Divides Christianity

Teachers should recount
Complete stories from the Bible
For lessons and guidelines
Not scout single-verses
To prove narrow paths
That cause division
And resentment

I pray to You
My Heavenly Father
That we can gather
In Your name
In love
And focus on our similarities
Rather than our differences

Please help us to set aside
Unimportant dogma and creed
That is petty in comparison
To Your saving grace

3. Gift Of Empathy 4:42
To those in the metal scene
Who help artists
And practice fraudulently
And irresponsibly
Shame on you

Communication is essential
When coordinating
Sales and permissions
You must have skills
And keep records

Next time you are stolen from
Acknowledge that this
Is how an artist would feel
With bootlegging
Or pirating

I pray to you
Holy Creator of all
That producers in all of metal
Will be moral, just, and accountable

Please give us all
The gift of empathy
That we may feel
With our hearts
As we do to others

4. I Am Not Here To Judge 4:59
To the secular black metal scene
I respect your art
And enjoy your music
As well as the varied themes
And concepts

I am not here to judge you
Or wage war
I am a brother in black metal
With a different belief system

Please disregard your bias
Regarding Christian themes
Present in this genre

No one person, or group
Moderates the black metal art
Just because christian themes
Do not derive
From the scene's roots
It does not mean
The art cannot exist

Do not dislike
Christian black metal
Just because the lyrics
Do not conform
To black metal tradition
Or your opinion

Dear merciful God
I pray that where there
Is tolerance and bias
There can be acceptance
And enjoyment

I pray that You be
With those on this earth
Even if they deny You

5. Lack Of Compassion 5:02
To those who are political
I urge you to see
What truly is the problem

There is nothing wrong
With aligning to
Either party's opinions
There is much wrong
With the lack of compassion
Empathy and understanding

It is impossible to be
The United States
When we are divided
By investing in here-say

Jesus Christ
I pray to You
That we can come to celebrate
Our freedom as a nation

Rather than fight
And balk
Over the opinions
Of those in power

6. Burden Of Corrupt Attitudes 5:29
To those who bully
Troll and torment
Stop being a psychopathic
Control freak

There are consequences
To those who intimidate
And oppress
In real life or online
To your reputation
To your senses
To the bystanders
Who witness your madness

Divert the pain
That causes you to lash out
Get help from others
For your cynical habits
Turn to God
For relief

Dear King of Kings
I pray to You
For a change of heart
From those
Who hurt others

I wish anyone
Anguishing in their action
To find serenity
Within You

Lord, please give solace
To those who bear
The burden of corrupt attitudes

7. When We Are Wounded 5:30
To those who are depressed
Or have fear of life and pain
There is hope
Jesus Christ is here

The mind cannot heal
By faith alone
But connecting to God
Is a key ingredient to recovery

A large part of what life is
Is perception
We are not who we are
Because of what happens to us

We are who we are
Because of how we react
To what happens to us

Dear Almighty Lord
Please help us all
To not be overwhelmed

Please be our strength
When we are weak
And carry us
When we are wounded

Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes.
I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law.
Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart.
Direct me in the path of your commandments,
For I delight in them.
Turn my heart toward your statutes,
Not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things.
Revive me in your ways.
Fulfill your promise to your servant,
That you may be feared.
Take away my disgrace that I dread,
For your ordinances are good.
Behold, I long for your precepts!
Revive me in your righteousness.

2. I Will Meditate On Your Statutes 3:32
Let your loving kindness also come to me, Yahweh,
Your salvation, according to your Word.
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in your word.
Don't snatch the word of truth out of my mouth,
For I put my hope in your ordinances.
So I will obey your law continually,
Forever and ever.
I will walk in liberty,
For I have sought your precepts.
I will also speak of your statutes before kings,
And will not be disappointed.
I will delight myself in your commandments,
Because I love them.
I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love.
I will meditate on your statutes.

3. This Is My Comfort In My Affliction 3:48
Remember your word to your servant,
Because you gave me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
For your word has revived me.
The arrogant mock me excessively,
But I don't swerve from your law.
I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh,
And have comforted myself.
Indignation has taken hold of me,
Because of the wicked who forsake your law.
Your statutes have been my songs,
In the house where I live.
I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night,
And I obey your law.
This is my way,
That I keep your precepts.

4. To Obey Your Commandments 3:39
Yahweh is my portion.
I promised to obey your words.
I sought your favor with my whole heart.
Be merciful to me according to your word.
I considered my ways,
And turned my steps to your statutes.
I will hurry, and not delay.
To obey your commandments.
The ropes of the wicked bind me,
But I won't forget your law.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks to you,
Because of your righteous ordinances.
I am a friend of all those who fear you,
Of those who observe your precepts.
The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh.
Teach me your statutes.

5. For Your Law Is My Delight 3:44
Your hands have made me and formed me.
Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
Those who fear you will see me and be glad,
Because I have put my hope in your word.
Yahweh, I know that your judgements are righteous,
That in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort,
According to your word to your servant.
Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For your law is my delight
Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully.
I will meditate on your precepts.
Let those who fear you turn to me.
They will know your statutes.
Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees,
That I may not be disappointed.

6. Your Word Is A Lamp To My Feet 4:00
Your word is a lamp to my feet,
And a light for my path.
I have sworn, and have confirmed it,
That I will obey your righteous ordinances.
I am afflicted very much.
Revive me, Yahweh, according to your word.
Accept, I beg you, the willing offerings of my mouth.
Yahweh, teach me your ordinances.
My soul is continually in my hand,
Yet I won't forget your law.
The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts.
I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever,
For they are the joy of my heart.
I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever,
Even to the end.

7. Turn To Me, And Have Mercy On Me 3:09
Your testimonies are wonderful,
Therefore my soul keeps them.
The entrance of your words gives light.
It gives understanding to the simple.
I opened my mouth wide and panted,
For I longed for your commandments.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
As you always do to those who love your name.
Establish my footsteps in your word.
Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me.
Redeem me from the oppression of man,
So I will observe your precepts.
Make your face shine on your servant.
Teach me your statutes.
Streams of tears run down my eyes,
Because they don't observe your law.

8. Your Law Is Truth 3:40
You are righteous, Yahweh.
Your judgements are upright.
You have commanded your statutes in righteousness.
They are fully trustworthy.
My zeal wears me out,
Because my enemies ignore you words.
Your promises have been thoroughly tested,
And your servant loves them.
I am small and despised.
I don't forget your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness.
Your law is truth.
Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me.
Your commandments are my delight.
Your testimonies are righteous forever.
Give me understanding, that I may live.

9. I Put My Hope In Your Words 3:46
I have called with my whole heart.
Answer me, Yahweh!
I will keep your statutes.
I have called to you. Save me!
I will obey your statutes.
I rise before dawn and cry for help.
I put my hope in your words.
My eyes stay open through the night watches,
That I might meditate on your word.
Hear my voice according to your loving kindness.
Revive me, Yahweh, according to your ordinances.
They draw near who follow after wickedness.
They are far from your law.
You are near, Yahweh.
All your commandments are truth.
Of old I have known from your testimonies,
That you have founded them forever.

10. Let My Soul Live, That I May Praise You 3:49
Let my cry come before you, Yahweh.
Give me understanding according to your word.
Let my supplication come before you.
Deliver me according to your word.
Let my lips utter praise,
For you teach me your statutes.
Let my tongue sing of your word,
For all your commandments are righteousness.
Let your hand be ready to help me,
For I have chosen your precepts.
I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh.
Your law is my delight.
Let my soul live, that I may praise you.
Let your ordinances help me.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep.
Seek your servant, for I don't forget your commandments.




The Black Metal Scripture Collection

April 16, 2021, Christian Metal Underground Records (CD)

1. The One Who Lifts Up My Head 4:50
Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me.
Many there are who say of my soul,
"There is no help for him in God."
But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
My glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
And he answers me out of his holy hill.
I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people,
Who have set themselves against me on every side.
Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people.

2. To Know Christ's Love Which Surpasses Knowledge 5:00
For this cause, I bow my knees,
To the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
From whom every family in heaven,
And on earth is named.
That he would grant you,
According to the riches of his glory,
That you may be strengthened with power,
Through his Spirit in the inward man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts,
Through faith; to the end that you,
Being rooted and grounded in love,
May be strengthened to comprehend,
With all the saints that is the breadth,
And length and height and depth,
And to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge,
That you may be filled to all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly,
Above all that we ask or think,
According to the power that works in us,
To him be the glory in the assembly,
And in Christ Jesus,
To all generations forever and ever.
Amen.

3. We Ourselves Are Comforted By God 5:50
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Who comforts us is all our affliction,
That we may be able to comfort,
Those who are in any affliction,
Through the comfort with which,
We ourselves are comforted by God.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us,
Even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
But if we are afflicted,
It is for your comfort and salvation.
If we are comforted, it is for your comfort,
Which works in the patient enduring,
Of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that,
Since you are partakers of the sufferings,
So also are you of the comfort.
For we don't desire to have you uninformed, brothers,
Concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia,
That we were weighed down exceedingly,
Beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
Yes, we ourselves have had,
The sentence of death within ourselves,
That we should not trust in ourselves,
But in God who raises the dead,
Who delivered us out of so great a death,
And does deliver; on whom we have set our hope,
That he will also still deliver us.

4. He Who Created The Heavens 5:17
Thus says God Yahweh,
He who created the heavens, and stretched them forth;
He who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it;
He who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk therein:
I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness,
And will hold your hand, and will keep you,
And give you for a covenant of the people,
For a light of the Gentiles;
To open the blind eyes,
To bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
And those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
I am Yahweh, that is my name;
And my glory will I not give to another,
Neither my praise to engraved images.
Behold, the former things have happened,
And new things do I declare.
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Sing to Yahweh a new song,
And his praise from the end of the earth;
You who go down to the sea,
And all that is therein, the isles,
And the inhabitants of it.

5. For God Is Not Unrighteous 5:12
For concerning those who were once enlightened,
And tasted of the heavenly gift,
And were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
And tasted the good word of God,
And the powers of the age to come,
And then fell away,
It is impossible to renew them again to repentance;
Seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again,
And put him to open shame.
For the land which has drunk the rain,
That comes often on it,
And brings forth a crop suitable for them,
For whose sake it is also tilled,
Receives blessing from God;
But if it bears thorns and thistles,
It is rejected and near a curse,
Whose end is to be burned.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you,
And things that accompany salvation,
Though we speak like this,
For God is not unrighteous,
So as to forget your work and the labor of love,
Which you showed toward his name,
In that you served to the saints,
And still do serve them.
We desire that each one of you may show,
The same diligence to the fullness of hope,
Even to the end,
That you won't be sluggish,
But imitators of those who through faith and patience,
Inherited the promises.

6. Let Us Love One Another 5:18
You are of God, little children,
And have overcome them;
Because greater is he who is in you,
Than he who is in the world.
They are of the world.
Therefore they speak of the world,
And the world hears them.
We are of God.
He who knows God listens to us.
He who is not of God doesn't listen to us.
By this we know the spirit of truth,
And the spirit of error.
Beloved, let us love one another,
For love is of God;
And everyone who loves is born of God,
And knows God.
He who doesn't love doesn't know God,
For God is love.
By this was God's love revealed in us,
That God has sent his only born Son,
Into the world that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God,
But that he loved us, and sent his Son,
As the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Beloved, if God loved us so,
We also ought to love one another.
