1.	By The Call Of The Bell 03:29	lyrics	buy track
the bell calleth and the scavengers converge to kneel down with guilt to avert the scourge of the church the cleric emerges and with him the acolytes the holy scripture rests heavy on the altar and the scent of incense quickens the congregation’s appetite out of habit or out of fear a redeemer myth is all they want to hear a distorted legend, retold whenever the bells begin to chime an ancient gospel, corroded by the sands of time they hunger for blood and they scream for death they hear „hoc est corpus meum“ and they devour the flesh and the heirs of Saint Peter smile because for every sheep they snatch there is a coin to pile until the treasure rooms are overfilled and somewhere deep within the golden domes restless the souls of martyrs roam
2.	Favilla 03:39	lyrics	buy track
The circle is drawn Ancient rites of misery No dusk, no dawn Just bones for the reliquary Descend the path of flesh Scent the cold fumes of death Ashes enwreathe A soul unblessed This fabric of reality Woven through thoughtless prayer A lock without a key Dissolves layer by layer Where there is faith There are those who sin Where there is fire there are those who burn their kin Where there is repression There are the gods And where there are gods There are those who draw their swords Descend the path of flesh Scent the cold fumes of death Ashes enwreathe A soul unblessed
3.	Like Weed Before The Scythe 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Overflowing decadence Mutating pestilence Surgical malevolence Omnipresent violence PJ stinkt! Life became irrelevant In our planet-sized powerplant The human condition‘s still deviant Weltenbrand! Weltenbrand! mindless obedience to the bomb Weltenbrand! Weltenbrand! Evolution ends in a radiating tomb A last glimpse to the skies One last ray of light pierces the eyes We’re like weeds before the scythe --- A last glimpse to the skies One last ray of light pierces the eyes and like weeds before the scythe Everything dies degenerated animals cultivated cannibals religious radicals disposable collaterals still no introspection we are facing our total destruction another extinction-event is imminent A last glimpse to the skies One last ray of light pierces the eyes We’re like weeds before the scythe --- A last glimpse to the skies One last ray of light pierces the eyes and like weeds before the scythe Everything dies mercy killing verdict chanted carpet bombing death wish granted thermal flashes phantom limbs ghostly shadows blistered skin bleakness sorrow sickness horror …is all we leave behind
4.	Midnight Children 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Trapped in eternal night the soul spins into chaos blood is forming patterns like a cobalt bloom With a newfound aggression the teeth gnaw and chatter Feral instincts taking over in the face of doom The essence of the cells is dissolving The mind bends as the body is shifting in shape Under the silver moonlight Ludwig grips his blade and faces his fate as his sonata begins to fade The hunters lie in wait Only mercury will do the deed No time to hesitate All will suffer, all will bleed --- In ecstasy they cry and whine The blood runs cold down the spine Midnight children, born in hell Raised on earth by man himself rising from a dreamless sleep the thirst begins to manifest Unseen by the mirrors formless features hide in shadows Driven by addiction the predator stalks its prey as it walks into the night unaware of who will follow razor fangs tear through the darkness a killing strike pierces the vein the execution swift and heartless in nights like these there’s only pain The hunters lie in wait Only mercury will do the deed No time to hesitate All will suffer, all will bleed --- In ecstasy they cry and whine The blood runs cold, chills creep down the spine Midnight children, born in hell Raised on earth by man himself
5.	Where Men Tread Death Follows 05:02	lyrics	buy track
We welcome sorrow with a bitter smile Laughter is our suicide enabler the teeth are bars, the tongue is prisoner Siamese smile, oh so grim, oh so vile we pray and we fight and we play and we lie and we eat and we fuck ´till we are all out of luck we embrace decay everyday because not all that glitters is real gold when life is drained, hands turn cold we refuse to learn, come what may It’s the same routine since forever the herd tramples the weak instead of sticking together the emotional status quo becomes the top goal to achieve if there is nothing more, we’ll drown in woe The storm above our heads becomes worse swallowing all our dreams in a second All hope is lost, all salvation forgotten the moral of the human race is nothing but rotten --- No mercy for our fellow men, no forgiveness for the misbegotten No mercy for our fellow men!! As we drift into blackest nothingness we count all the lives at stake and then we think we wake from terrible nightmares But we just fell asleep Our knowledge of life Is limited to death We shatter worlds within a single breath we choose the human antithesis of Apollo as a leader for us to follow The shifting mass of reeking flesh Divided by the raging prophets of power we are so fucking hollow we need this web of lies we smile and we don’t want to realize that this world is just a head full of lice crawling and leeching, made to obey the colors of life, fading away The storm above our heads becomes worse swallowing all our dreams in a second All hope is lost, all salvation forgotten the moral of the human race is nothing but rotten --- No mercy for our fellow men, no forgiveness for the misbegotten No mercy for our fellow men!!
6.	This World Is Gone 02:17	lyrics	buy track
the cult-leader smiles upon his sheep as they rock back and forth in trance soon they will start to weep because their love for him is oh so deep “my apostles, hear my voice For I have important things for you to hear This world will soon be gone But there is nothing for you to fear” “I will guide you over to the new dawn of men we will be all free from sin we will become enlightened beings all you have to do is to believe in me” “For I am the one who sees” “For I am the one who hears” “For I am all you ever wanted” “For I am the only one who speaks the truth” And they follow him blindly and without second thought Even as he leads them to the slaughterhouse there is no doubt Still smiling he starts to sells his sheep to the highest bidder pound for pound
7.	Incipit Aeterno Mortis 08:03	lyrics	buy track
Can you see the stars falling from the sky? They dance like embers in the dark And then they fade away without a guiding light this world is left behind darkness falls and wraps around our hearts and souls as black as coal and so bitterly, bitterly cold This is the last moment eternal death begins the hourglass turned upside down for every beggar, for all the kings the end of time, the end of everything there is no distinction no one will be spared the great equation divides by zero the results will be shared and everyone is ensnared no glimpse of hope, no truce to be declared no final words to be heard no one is left who could have cared death comes for everyone!
