1.	The Awakening 01:25	lyrics
(Instrumental)
2.	Descent 02:50	lyrics
Violent skies unleash their wrath Thundering bolts through the night Eerie gales storm through the trees And downpour lashes through the land Descending from the hall of the gods Back to the killing fields To slay the lambs of Christ The terror that was brought to our lands Shall be avenged We slay the lambs of Christ Donar's sign upon our chest It thunders and it roars Fueled by disdain Seeking our revenge The blades are burning Deadly licking flames The battlefield has changed But the fight stays the same
3.	Acrimony 03:16	lyrics
Religious fanaticism plants the seeds Of fear and terror among the blind and ignorant Politics of demagogy bring in the harvest Fictitious war on terror to feed the interests One-eyed among the blind Preparing for perpetual war The blind the follow the blind Thus feeding the insatiable whore Exploiting the grounds Destroying our home And fuelling acrimony The masses are blind And ignorance grows While Earth dies in agony This world stands no longer a chance to exist If it fails to eradicate the disease With acrimony
4.	Decay of a God 04:06	lyrics
Created by a nation with fading faith in future A nation that lost the hope for freedom Submission as necessity to preserve the existence The image of this resignation shaped their God Castration against all nature into a God of benevolence Who does not know the ardour of victory and destruction This reduced divinity soon left His Chosen People And crept into every private virtue Spread His word, His hypocrisy His will to nothingness, His denial of this world Holy cosmopolitan, shorn of every strength - You shall leave! Shorn of every virtue and passion - You shall fall! Hybrid construction of decay - You shall burn! Symbol of a staff for the weary - You shall die! The contradiction to life The decrepitude to strength Castration against all nature into a God of benevolence Who does not know the ardour of victory and destruction God of all dark corners, God of decadence God of the good, God of the weak Conjured up out of emptiness, Contradiction and vain imagining Where all cowardice and weariness Of the soul find their sanction
5.	The Elementar 03:59	lyrics
Creation of the elements Mercenary of nature Invincible resistance Misanthropic executioner Supernatural battle force Creature without conscience Imperturbable defense Annihilating doom machine Helpless running, stumbling, tripping, Crawling, screaming, crying, praying They try to escape! Ripping, smashing, mangling, crushing, Murder, torment, rape and slaughter That's your fucking fate! Ungrateful worthless scum You can't oppress nature For every single attempt Thousands have to die Indefatigable He will rage Inexhaustible He will hunt Merciless He will kill Indomitable Eternal disaster
6.	Dark Forces 03:20	lyrics
Arising from beneath Black silhouettes Glowing in the dark Red eyes in the night A night that's dark and cold Icy breezes blow You realize in terror The vile stench from below Marching ... Forwards ... with unholy strength! Dethrone the feeble whore His throne shall burn forevermore The paths that led astray Shall not be wandered anymore Marching ... Forwards ... with unholy strength! Now they rage, fire everywhere Deadly bolts, death in the air The blind they get, what they deserve Churches burn, to ruins in the dirt
7.	Fourfold Wrath 02:39	lyrics
Wind Storming through the land It will blow through you Immense powers shall tear us apart Water Crushing against the shores It will flood the grounds Tidal waves shall drown us all Fire Sweeping through the land It will cleanse the earth Licking flames shall burn us to dust Earth Rolling over you It will crush your corpse Cold masses shall be our grave
8.	Doomsday 06:23	lyrics
Blackened skies roar loud Sinister and menacing The visions soon shall become true The day of doom's arriving Clouds of thunder, clamorous Glowing in the gloom Burning raindrops spreading fire Initiate our doom Days of fury, days of anger, Armament of thunder This feeble place, so dear to you, Shall soon be torn asunder Death and mayhem, blood and fire Just a lethal maze The inevitable extinction Of the human race Wicked warlords, screaming, roaring On their course of death They rage towards you, frantic, evil, Draw your final breath Majestic darkness spreads its wings Lifelessness remains Light destroyed, all warmth is gone Eternal darkness reigns
