NECROMANTIC RITUAL
02:23
|
|
||
Guitar Solo Lorz
Underneath a blood red moon.
Rotten bodies, flesh of doom.
With burning lust to desecrate.
Profane rites, the dead awake.
* Necromantic Ritual *
You´re dead, deceased and torn apart.
I taste your flesh, a kiss of death.
With evil spells, the dead will rise.
Spawned by necromantic rites.
* Necromantic Ritual *
Guitar Solo Guerra
With rusty blade I shed your skin.
Tearing out what´s within.
Releasing demons from inside.
My morbid body sacrifice.
* Necromantic Ritual *
Guitar Solo Lorz

FRANCONIAN FLESH
03:38
|
|
||
Possessed by fire, straight from hell.
Tortured souls, with evil spells.
Reborn in death, a hellish might.
We burned the witch, our deadly strike.
We´re in the circle of salvation.
Searching for the light within.
For the cause, until our death.
Ride on forever, Franconian Flesh.
* Ride on. Till death. Franconian flesh. *
Guitar Solo Guerra
From the realm of the damned
we´ll end you´re dissipated life.
Obey the crown till your last breath.
Lay down your souls to the gods of flesh.
* Ride on. Till death. Franconian flesh. *
Guitar Solo Guerra / Lorz / Guerra
Beware the resurrection of the witch.
Stand strong, prepare for final war.
We will rule the universe.
Franconian flesh all over the world.
* Ride on. Till death. Franconian flesh. *

MY FUNERAL
04:15
|
|
||
I was born into a world of human misery.
I´ve never been redeemed, I never felt free.
I´m tired of humanity, I´m tired of my life.
I take it in my hands, I force myself to die.
I open my veins, a kiss of the blade.
Goodbye to all you hypocrites, your ugly faces fade.
Blood is pouring down, all colors turn to grey.
My last words are laughter as life slips away.
* REFRAIN *
One step inside my grave. One step away from human race.
This is the highlight of the day. Now welcome at my funeral.
Guitar Solo Guerra
* REFRAIN *
Guitar Solo Guerra
Ladies and gentleman, this is my death.
Now you‘re welcome at my funeral.
Now my eyes are closed, surrounded by black.
From inside the coffin there ain´t no turning back.
I celebrate this ritual, a good place to rot.
Maybe I will rest in peace or maybe I will not.
* REFRAIN *

GEISTERWALD
06:49
|
|
||
Sternenklar, ein Hauch von Kälte, finster schaut des Waldes Blick.
Als fahles Mondlicht sich erhebt und frostig durch die Wipfel bricht.
Götzengleich, im Lichte stehen. Schemenhaft, der Bäume Schein.
Ein Raunen fährt durchs Blätterkleid. Starr vor Angst, ich bin allein.
Das Dämmerlicht verschwindet, weicht fort dem Mondes Silberglanz.
Sich Schemenhaft die Bäume wiegen in seltsam schaurigem Totentanz.
* REFRAIN *
Geisterwald. In deine Schatten eingehüllt.
Geisterwald. Verlier ich mich in Dunkelheit.
Geisterwald. Gekerkert bis zur Dämmerung.
Befreit mich aus des Geistes Wald.
Welch´ Spiel treibt jetzt mein Geist mit mir?
Was jagt mich hier? Ich will hinfort!
Ein Rauschen hier, ein Rascheln dort, was ist das für ein finstrer Ort?
Ist´s der Teufel der mich jagt? Voll Unheil, grausam mich verfolgt.
Durch dunklen Tann, Verzweiflung wallt. So hetz ich durch das Unterholz.
* REFRAIN *
Ins Zwielicht fall ich endlos Tief, erwarte nur die Dämmerstund.
Furcht ergreift Besitz von mir, ich falle in den schwarzen Schlund.
Guitar Solo Guerra
Da, ein Licht, welch Farbenspiel? Erlösung macht sich breit in mir.
Schatten schwinden, schwarz verblasst. Erhaben steigt das Morgenrot!
Geisterwald. In deine Schatten ward ich eingehüllt.
Geisterwald. Verlor ich mich in Dunkelheit.
Geisterwald. Ich ward gekerkert bis zur Dämmerung.
Bin frei aus meines Geistes Wald.

STORM OF STEEL
03:36
|
|
||
Spitting fire, shells explode.
Bodies maimed, no remorse.
Crushing skulls under wheels.
Death comes through a storm of steel.
Deafening noise for victory.
Crushing down the enemy.
Mass destruction, total death.
A stench of war and rotten flesh.
* Killed by storm of steel. *
* Death is on it’s way. *
Cannons fire, trenches crushed.
The enemy is ripped apart.
Behind the tanks a trail of death.
A storm of steel, massive attack.
* Killed by storm of steel. *
* Death is on it’s way. *
Guitar Solo Lorz
Unearthly force, certain death.
Mass oblitaration, a common grave.
Bodies maimed, no remorse.
Spitting fire, shells explode.
* Killed by storm of steel. *
* Death is on it’s way. *

At night they came to me to burn my bones to ash.
I´m sacrificed for all their sins, expected by the mass.
Sickening smell of burning flesh, the shine of blazing hair.
“No mercy for the devil’s wife!” the crowd yelled in despair.
* REFRAIN *
I’ll be back, I am the never ending plague.
So beautiful, the devil‘s wife,
you better watch your back.
You cannot kill what cannot die,
you cannot burn the witch.
Ignited by your hate I will return.
Resurrection of the witch.
What was promised once by long forgotten spells.
In this moment came to life, awoke the force of hell.
A raging thunder hit the world, the reborn witch ahead:
“I’ll cut your throat, rip out your tongue, for all the lies you spread!”
* REFRAIN *

WATCH OUT, EVIL
05:30
|
|
||
In the darkness of time, in the shadow of the night I‘m alone.
This kingdom is mine and I proclaim: „No one else shall ever reign!“
Now I hide in the dust. All achievements are lost.
With bitterness I will rule until the end.
Fire, it keeps me burning.
A savior, I will be yearning for an endless crown
Burning all my kingdom down.
* REFRAIN *
This is the end of Rome.
Watch out, evil‘s coming. You‘ll be dead before the dawn.
You‘re the scapegoat. I am dedicated to destruction.
Blaming the scum For all deeds I have done
All gods disappear. Seeking hope in fear.
No mercy! Cruel is the heart of man.
(The) Fire of my existence. Empire of my own grace.
Here‘s the final call. This era ends, my kingdom falls.
* REFRAIN *
Burn down the world. Monuments shall fall to dust.
Annihilation. So powerful, this lust.
Guitar Solo Lorz
* REFRAIN *

KNOCHENMANN
02:41
|
|
||
Gehüllt in Schemen, schwarz gewandt
durchschreite ich Der Toten Land.
Es lockt die bleiche Knochenpracht,
durchdringt gar funkelnd tiefste Nacht.
Kreuze, Götzen, Kerzenschein. Schier endlos such ich mein Gebein.
Die Namen in den Stein geritzt, in welchen wurde ich geschnitzt?
* Ich bin der Knochenmann. Ich habe Knochen an. *
Dort ein frischer Hügel thront. Die Gruft darunter, neu bewohnt.
Da liegt´s, mein Grab in dunkler Nacht. So leg ich an, der Schaufel Blatt.
* Ich bin der Knochenmann. Ich habe Knochen an. *
Ich hebe aus, die tiefe Gruft. Ein Hölzern Sarg dringt an die Luft.
Gelöst von Haut und Fleischeslast liegt vor mir dar, die Knochenpracht.
Guitar Solo Lorz
Im Leben wie im Tode mein,
sind Geist und Körper nun vereint.
Ich dringe tief, tief ins Skelett.
Erheb mich aus dem nassen Bett.
Der Sinn aus Sagen und Gedichten
weiß stets von Geistern zu berichten.
In Kinderzimmern unter Betten,
dort werde ich mich nun verstecken.
* Ich bin der Knochenmann. Ich habe Knochen an. *

FINAL WAR
04:07
|
|
||
Violent - the war is raging on.
Taken - the enemy by storm.
A trail of destruction.
Trenches - drowning in mud.
Body´s - covered in blood.
Fire - is burning through the night.
Marching - together side by side,
into devastation.
Taken - the enemy by storm.
Violent - the war is raging on ... and on and on.
* REFRAIN *
Defiant without fear, still marching on.
For bloodshed and destruction, we shall overcome.
Descending, no way back, here we stand to face the truth.
Nothing will remain, the human race exists no more.
No escape from this war, there is no turning back.
To be in mortal agony, we´re ready for attack.
Bloodshed and damnation, smell of death is in the air.
Nuclear destruction. Devastation everywhere.
* REFRAIN *
Guitar Solo Guerra
