Terror and Submission

Allegiance to none, yet nowhere to stand Time has come, to fight or die Enter the arena, coliseum of the beast The hunter, the hunted, the carnage for the feast Chapel in peril, prey of the possessed Harboring foes forgotten by all Returning Babylon, worship the whore The finale in geneses sabotaged by war [Chorus] Holy are the wicked, into the white Cast into purgatory, all must face the light Crucifix and serpentine Condemned before the law Domination of the anarch Crucifix will fall Armies approach the final gate Gathered there to watch and wait Their time has almost come to rise The darkness grows to deadly size Overwhelming evil force Too late to stop their bitter course Invaders conquer, without a fight Like plagues of blackness blocking light [Chorus] Persecuted subservient to tyranny Witness to thine own elegy Execution of the deed Unlamented sympathies Assassins led by blasphemy Buried without thine dignity

Dawning sky a day so dreary Seeing faithful weak and weary Wanting so much more than is had To give up anything in trade Temptation flirts about you Reach out the gold ring could be yours Leading to where no one can save you The lust of excess brings you end [Chorus] Unearthly voices, choirs of the dead Calling for mercy, darkness rears its head Evil is rising, mortality condemned Onward and onward to the living end The choice is ours what will we do No one will know just what to do Will the infernal fires of hell Entombed into the need to be Or will merciless light of truth shine through (or through you) [Chorus] [Solo: Kurt] Venomous conquest darkens the world Trails of lifeless carnage left behind And in the end, you pay the price with your soul [Chorus]

A frightening scream pierces the night A deliverance of an oppressive plight Terror engulfs satanic life A suffering of eternal strife Attack is before you, pray a light might guide you From mortal fear in your life A stand to fight, no more wrong or right The accuser will be judged by sanctity Stricken by the curse of heavenly sin Legions behold the final day Allegiance to the end, a blood feast at the hands That wash themselves of their foretold decay Laid down to die, martyrs, saints, all will cry "Save us from this eternal stay" A call to arms by high command None will try to make a stand To battle back the cold caress Of death possessed by wickedness Embodied spirits let through the gate No hope for life scarred by death and hate No longer are the dogs held bay [Solo: Kurt] A frightening scream pierces the night A deliverance of an oppressive plight Terror engulfs satanic life A suffering of eternal strife Attack is before you, pray a light might guide you From mortal fear in your life A stand to fight, no more wrong or right The accuser will be judged by sanctity The blood spilled in vain for the sake of those profane Deceit, a cursed blinded lies eclipsed by wrath before our eyes Disease, famine plagues distress, an empty hole awaits the rest Astral guide in mercy comes

A seeker of the fortune Heir to the throne From the horn of plenty I taste life alone Memories soon disappear Through the haze becomes the twilight An omen for the future The destination lies in sight Even gods in their infinity The immortals fall away Sanctuaries, uncertainty Masterpieces turn to grey In twilight I witness higher fall Leaving from where they once belonged Sands of time forgotten so quick Ages pass as none regret On their knees I see supreme Fade into their mortal place The ending of some passing dream Genocide or higher race Even gods in their infinity The immortals fall away Sanctuaries, uncertainty Masterpieces turn to grey The mighty must now scrape and crawl To keep from losing what was owned Evolution, mercy non betray The gift of life arrives with death Creation let to sentence lives Declared exile, ancients survive Escape to heavens halls to wait Poised to loose their touch of hate [Solo: Mike, Kurt, Mike, Kurt, Mike, Kurt] Sands of time forgotten so quick Ages pass as none regret On their knees I see supreme Fade into their mortal place The ending of some passing dream Genocide or higher race Even gods in their infinity The immortals fall away Sanctuaries, uncertainty Masterpieces turn to grey In twilight I witness higher fall Leaving from where they once belonged The mighty must now scrape and crawl To keep from losing what was owned

Protectors of forbidden places, keepers of the watch Seeing those enslavened faces, withered souls forgotten lives Atop the perch a silent throne, the vindicating eyes Believing their all seeing vision Saints of hell, of desperate cries Guardians of the Netherworld, captors of the damned Pinnacle of your disaster, the watcher on the stand Exiled on a lifeless steeple, appointed from above A veil was placed across our brow Anointed one and all, to die A war is raging on inside us, guarded by the horde With lesser gods of higher rank, prodding them to war No Father, Son, or Holy Spirit Nor defenses from the foe All are battered, tortured, shattered Allegiance without death is woe Guardians of the Netherworld, captors of the damned Pinnacle of your disaster, the watcher on the stand Exiled on a lifeless steeple, appointed from above A veil was placed across our brow Anointed one and all, to die For lust of life A maelstrom of impending evil, futile fight to win Tides of blackness, pull you toward it Consuming within its doors Both life and death [Solo: Kurt]

Almost the season, a time of prophecy for those who know Almost the reason, why the voices of the dead come known A gnawing in torment divided by the polarizing line Prey to the masses, hunted in numbers, tortured, death divine Estranged to nocturnal light In search for what is known but lost by the time Desperately clawing, deceived as a puppet for a price Servant of the master, a watcher of the world until you die And when you see the light of lights Out of the corner of your eye There and then you will be falling For you must answer to your calling [Solo: Kurt] Revolving on a never ending journey A glimpse into the gateways of eternity Led to the edge, then pushed to falling For you must answer to your calling

The conflict raises swift before you Abominations of human life As if you've seen it all before you Join the celebrated strife From somewhere deep beneath the surface The calls of millions just fade away Signalling their new traditions Timeless honour, the proud must pray [Chorus] Submit to force I will stand my ground to the bitter end Submit to force None deny me my right to die Submit to force Now the terror is real Submit to force Closer to fear than before Holy light of dawn is coming Prince of darkness now retires The black cat eyed feline mistress Chants by the cauldron's fire Packs of human wolves are howling Smell of blood is in the air Banshee screams her hellish aria Faithful souls beware

Projectiles of death falling from the sky Destroying humanity As the mist of darkness rots the lives Evil's presence is seen Tartarus is rising through the earth As darkness fills the world Voices are howling through the air But no one speaks a word [Chorus]: The demons curse rules the night with terror and disease Bleeding souls captured in the sights shadows of the beast Mephistophelian boundaries trap the souls Who walk the night alone No tomorrow except for those Who follow what they know Plutonium children attack the world With Lucifer at their helm Ascending from the infernal empire The spirits of doom take hold [Chorus] The final day the final battle The final judgement call Bleeding souls of Armageddon Bloodshed plagues us all Blessed enough to see the light Shining in the sky Blind enough to walk the night Tempting flames shall fly Who's the one to save your life And turn the night to day [Solo: Mike, Kurt, Mike, Kurt, Mike, Kurt, Mike, Kurt] Projectiles of death falling from the sky Destroying humanity As the mist of darkness rots the lives Evil's presence is seen Tartarus is rising through the Earth As darkness fills the world Voices are howling through the air But no one speaks a word [Chorus]

Hidden in the magic darkness Befriended by the night Lies the war torn ravaged victim Treason complete a new order arrives Pain the trouble drone infests Ever-lasting night befalls revolt Loot the storehouse of the lamb The lion will be [Chorus] Damned to hell compulsion of the thief Driven by greed, tempered by force Sweet evil tendencies, the easy way out Fallen soldiers bleeding their sins Fearing death the cowards tremble All so afraid to fight Laying down their earthly treasures Trading possessions for the light Fighting back without fighting The blood on them it flows from us The slaughtering of the lamb Insures the lion to be [Chorus] Rising through the mist around me Shackled to my vice The stench of my own sins surround me Deep inside I need to live Feed the fires for now but remember all [Solo: Kurt, Mike, Kurt, Mike] Deceived by the whore to evil Voices in my mind revolt Telling me trust in nothing Questions begin the answer Believe in nothing the deceptions sure Revealing that which has always been Programmed but not forsaken Listen not to the charlatan Question all without regard An empty ringing breaks the silence A voice upon the astral wind Tears upon the trusting face Turn away while you still can From the gaze of your temptation Rebellion is upon our hands Sacred breeding desecration The deception's complete
