Rising From Below the Earth

Something is here<br/> Poisoning the very air i breathe<br/> The voices of the dead have fallen silent<br/> They tremble together in shallow graves<br/> <br/> In a most profound mystery<br/> The foul hand of fate did illuminate me<br/> I unearthed texts. I now try to Forget<br/> For those who see what others cant see<br/> their presence is unbearable<br/> Still they cannot fully understand<br/> For into the depths of knowledge could be undone<br/> But what i've seen. I cant take back<br/> To know the presence of the ones<br/> who rise from below the earth<br/> <br/> Now every night i feel their stare<br/> A multitude cold lidless eyes<br/> A steady pulse at the back of my mind<br/> <br/> Whispered voices from nowhere<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> A constant feeling of being watched<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> A sudden cold in the room<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> <br/> Unwelcome gaze has pierced our souls<br/> Ageless terrible hunger awakened<br/> <br/> In the outmost void<br/> Beyond our spheres<br/> They gather in mass; Our end draws near<br/> There they'll plot our fail<br/> And soon they'll rise; in corporal form<br/> <br/> Whispered voices from nowhere<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> A constant feeling of being watched<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> A sudden cold in the room<br/> Shapeless shadows roam the night<br/> <br/> Hush! Again they are among us<br/> A faint sinister choir, gathering strength<br/> I fear that the time is fast approaching, <br/> One terrible night they'll reach out for us all<br/> <br/> You may think me a fool, blinded by fear<br/> But I know what watches us as we sleep<br/> If you could only live one night, through my eyes;<br/> You would greet next dawn a different man<br/> Broken perhaps - marked for sure,<br/> and never once you'd feel alone again...<br/> <br/> For each night you'd know they rise;<br/> In silence under ominous skies<br/> out from their realm below our cold and sleeping earth<br/> out from their realm below this cold and dying earth<br/> <br/> Thus I must leave all hope behind<br/> Sweet privilege of ignorance

Out from the woods they sprang forth<br/> Axes raised, mouths foaming with rage<br/> Tattooed savage beasts on the hunt<br/> Deranged bloodlust shining in their eyes<br/> <br/> Barbarian warriors - Painted with the pentagram<br/> Skulls of enemies - Their grinning trophies of war<br/> <br/> They overran the first cities by the next dawn<br/> Raided and burned every house to the ground<br/> Panic broke out as rumous spread<br/> Fleeing, thousands were trampled to death<br/> Worse still the fate of those left behind<br/> <br/> No one was left alive<br/> All defences had been utterly crushed<br/> Wave upon wave, they came from the north<br/> to maim, kill and destroy.<br/> Weapons of steel worn out<br/> From cutting and cleaving, through flesh and bone<br/> No quarter given, this nation will burn,<br/> boiling in its own decadent fat.<br/> <br/> Then the horde fell upon the great cathedral<br/> Last refuge of leaders and saints<br/> <br/> Dragged out the front<br/> The cardinal begged for his miserable life<br/> He knew where others were hidden<br/> Thirty lives sold for a silver coin each<br/> So they left him alive<br/> In vaults underground<br/> With thousands of starving rats<br/> And the head of his king in his hands<br/> <br/> Blood, flames, ruins, broken remains<br/> The legacy of this marauding force<br/> Barbarian Assault!<br/> The heavens doth tremble before their might

They all know; A shadow lives out in the woods<br/> But not a word is ever spoken thereof<br/> T'is; an evil of their own design<br/> <br/> But denial was a part of a puritan's life,<br/> they would lock their doors and pray to their lord<br/> Though in the end, it was not him who heard them...<br/> <br/> Finally one night, the bells tolled doom<br/> The witch rose out from her ancient tomb<br/> All the villagers shuddered in their guilty sleep<br/> Then awoke to the sound of rats in their walls<br/> <br/> Frightened they huddled together for warmth<br/> All the lights were lit, swaying in a strange draft<br/> When an eerie change came over their expressions<br/> Apprehension, piety, or a dark hint of lust?<br/> <br/> Then as the light flickered and died<br/> They started to turn<br/> A wickedness came upon them<br/> Gripped by obscene, unspeakable urges<br/> Madness took them by the hand<br/> and led them to a darker place<br/> <br/> A wickedness crept upon their homes<br/> Yes, a wickedness came upon them<br/> A wickedness came upon their souls<br/> <br/> Slowly a new morning approached<br/> In church lay a filthy bloody mass of broken flesh<br/> A puritan orgy of perverted sex, torture and death<br/> The young, the old, all and one<br/> died willingly in raging sadistic ecstasy!<br/> <br/> It was the coldness of the tomb<br/> That had crept through the land<br/> The wickedness of the witch<br/> A mirror of their sinful hearts<br/> The witch saw it all and smiled<br/> Then turned away, and walked back to hell

On the floor convulsed by pain<br/> Stabbing through his chest<br/> His eyes rolled back<br/> His tongue is black<br/> Pierced by unseen blades<br/> <br/> In an old house in the swamp<br/> Ritual drums resound<br/> Needles in clay<br/> Again and again<br/> The priest cackles loud<br/> <br/> A man lies dead in his bed<br/> In his prime it's fair to say<br/> Nothing seems wrong<br/> His body was strong<br/> And yet he's cold as ice<br/> <br/> It is the curse of the vodoo priest<br/> His evil spells cause evil dreams<br/> Against the order of all natural life<br/> The body lives when the soul has died<br/> <br/> Beware the walking dead!<br/> <br/> Oh when the night is dark<br/> And the moon has shed its face<br/> The veil of the underworld covers the stars<br/> Around you the rusting of leaves can be heard<br/> The zombies are out to do their priests command<br/> <br/> Scared to death the woman cries<br/> She met her husband in the night<br/> Though six months ago<br/> They buried his corpse<br/> So to the asylum she goes

Carried forth by a gathering storm<br/> Its grace belies a grim resolve<br/> Worried eyes watching below<br/> The growing form on the horizon<br/> <br/> Hail Messenger of Doom<br/> We who welcome the fall of man<br/> salutes you<br/> <br/> Today the hanged rejoice in his gallows<br/> His tongue a blue banner of triumph<br/> The days he did not live to see<br/> Has fallen under the messenger's wings<br/> <br/> Hail messenger of doom<br/> Disciples of the end time salutes you<br/> Hail Doom Hail<br/> Spread your wings on winds of death<br/> <br/> Hail doom hail<br/> Onward the messenger flies<br/> <br/> Their reason had been crippled - by the fear of a fiery hell<br/> The universe was treated like their private wishing well<br/> So when doom came a'rollin' rollin' - rollin' through their land<br/> They rejoice in rapture trusting his coming is at hand<br/> That Bastard!<br/> <br/> To all of those who sit round waiting - for the world to burn<br/> Fuck off to the crematory; keep bitching from your urn<br/> Whether suicide-emo-misanthrope - or Christian reborn from fear<br/> Then I can crank you some metal, and drink up all of your beer<br/> You asshole!

Carnage awaits us beyond these hills<br/> In fields neath vast citadel walls<br/> An army of men, ten thousand strong<br/> A broken pile of bodies to be<br/> Onward to the bloodfields, men<br/> To chaos and conquest and fire<br/> The beauty of steel piercing flesh<br/> The reason why we ride - yeah!<br/> <br/> Throwing ourselves into battle<br/> Like this day would be our last<br/> Our victims are bewildered<br/> And scatter before our ranks<br/> A sight to please our gods of war<br/> The breaking of enemy lines<br/> The scores of crows above our heads<br/> A grim sign for those about to die<br/> <br/> Onward to the fields of blood<br/> Onward to the fields of myth<br/> <br/> Thundering hooves mow you down<br/> Onward into infamy we ride<br/> The horde bringing the hammer down<br/> These lands crushed under our heels<br/> <br/> The house of their god burnt to the ground<br/> Their wives to break their backs in our fields<br/> Their seed spread before all winds<br/> Their legacy sinking into the great unknown<br/> <br/> I now close upon their king in command<br/> The symbol of his empire's splendour & might<br/> In the sun, his armour is shining so bright<br/> He will not see it set tonight<br/> <br/> Then after battle, before the fires<br/> Our fallen are missed but not mourned<br/> Their tales now told in terror<br/> In strange and foreign tongues<br/> They'll rest in the shadow of trees <br/> Grown by their enemies blood<br/> And then to the halls of Oden<br/> They arrive to resounding horns<br/> Hail to their hammerhearts<br/> To the blood, fire death in their veins<br/> They lived under the sign<br/> Brothers, we hail thee

O banished one, we bow once more before your feet<br/> You rose from the woods, of your cold island<br/> Now make all and one; serve you as capable slaves<br/> Your laugh void of remorse, an old elegy not of this world<br/> <br/> Thine heart is hard, begging is for naught.<br/> And your tale is certain, to be triumphant<br/> Master of the sea & the high lands; sparks fly from your eyes<br/> This now the last spring; the banks of rivers red with blood<br/> <br/> You have but to knock; and the doors of heaven flies open<br/> Warships have left port & hells engines are burning<br/> Smoking fumes and burning fires. This is your age<br/> Whisky! Demon!

Hands folded she is dragged<br/> through dark corridors in his lair.<br/> She was found alone, lost in the night<br/> The young girl prays,<br/> but knows; where she is;<br/> God has no dominion<br/> <br/> And every room echoes with some ancient horror<br/> between her sobs she can hear them still;<br/> frightened whispers and phantom screams<br/> here can be no rest, even in death<br/> <br/> Voices never heard, faces never seen<br/> They led her to his feet<br/> Anguish in her voice, as she cries out<br/> "Are you even living men?"<br/> <br/> Sitting upon the throne of bones,<br/> his face reveals nor age or emotion<br/> His eyes; as the nightsky with all stars dead<br/> <br/> Left alone with him, she cannot look away<br/> The burning stare,<br/> The voice in her head,<br/> The fear that slowly fades<br/> Her will it dies away<br/> She's walking into his embrace<br/> <br/> From the dungeons,<br/> with their unspeakable tools of pain<br/> to the tallest spires, chambers filled with vile lore<br/> Her screams can be heard for hours<br/> <br/> The tyrant has had his gruesome thirst stilled<br/> Tonight, ungodly voices will reveal<br/> more of their secrets to him!

Let no sympathy befall them!<br/> Lest you be judged yourself<br/> For every tear for a sinner, shed<br/> A gateway where Satan can enter your heart<br/> <br/> You might call his ways mysterious<br/> Or even random and cruel<br/> You should not fear; it will be all revealed<br/> When in time you'll stand before him<br/> When in time you'll stand before him<br/> In the court of judgement most severe
