Deathchain

Nothing will grow, nothing will move, all is still
Man's existence in eclipse
This is the end complete

[Solo: Corpse]

When poison runs viciously
Disease rages in your hearts
That is when they will ascend
From the seas, from the soils
Echoes a thousand cries
Breaking the dormant silence
Now entering the decay

Storming the death gods
A world inverted

Malicious beings from the molten core
Spitting out locust swarms and vitriol

Penetrates the earth's skin!

Insanity reigns your consciousness
And the blood runs black
This is when they will ascend
Souls corrupt burning bright
Reign now Lord of Flies
Empires fall in rapture
An eternity in decay

[Solo: Cult]

Storming the death gods
A world inverted

Malicious beings from the molten core
Spitting out locust swarms and vitriol
Penetrating through the earth?s skin
Empires fall in rapture
A world inverted
Storming the death gods


2. Scimitar


[Music: Cult & Corpse, Lyrics: Cult (except Akkadian magical voice by Frater Saibot)]

Šulmum Ištar! Šulmum Ištar!
An empire of insanity, in dominions of astral dark
Through the distortion of fear, through the flames of Samael
In front of the stairs of the ziggurat, sound of severed heads falling
Skulls smashing down those stairs
Madness - insanity - scimitar - beheading
Morningstar, grant the adept with Thy knowledge - Inana
Morningstar, where the twilights meet - Inana
Eveningstar, bless the adept with Thy power - Astarte
Eveningstar, spread your veil of black - Astarte
Mighty goddess of the Underworld, Dragon of power
Lend us Thy blood-stained scimitar - Behead
Stand by our side, in the dawn of a new creation
Fly, RED angel of doom... in the BLACK night sky

[Solo: Cult]

Bless the adept with power!
Parṣum ša emūqim!
Stand by our side in war!
Parṣum ša nukurtim!
A black stream is flowing from the bronze lions' jaws
As eight rays from the pools of blood
Bless the adept with power!
Parṣum ša emūqim!
Stand by our side in war!
Parṣum ša nukurtim!
Parṣum ša erṣatim!
Parṣum ša Ušumgallatim!
Morningstar, where two twilights meet - Inana
Eveningstar, spread your veil of black - Astarte
Finally at the top of the stairs, before the entrance
Entering Her temple, the temple of the Death Goddess...


3. The Crawling Chaos


[Music & Lyrics by Corpse]

Yiii-eeee Nyarlathothep!

Whispering of the faceless
Devouring sorrow of the earth
Walker of the cold wastes
A shadow out of time
Mesmerizing!

Yiii-eeee Nyarlathothep!
Lord of Death
And the blind gods dance
As the Chaos crawls

Drawn towards the infinite horrors of beyond
Where the everlasting walls of Kadath shine
Where forever echoes the notes of the blind
Where god's are eternally enslaved by Chaos

Losing awareness and soon to fall
Follow the monstrous atrocity
A dream you cannot deny
A dream inside a dream

Black seas of infinity
Dwell in utter silence
Beneath the thousand-faced moon
The Chaos crawls

Sardonic laughter - voice of the void
Roba El Khaliyeh - the empty space

Echoes of the black throne
What used to be, shall be again

A second storm coming
A storm of resurrection
From the desert's of Roba El Khaliyeh
Come, bring death to all!

[Solo: Cult]

Yiii-eeee Nyarlathothep!
Lord of Death
And the blind gods dance
As the Chaos crawls


4. The Lion-head


[Music by Cult and Corpse, Lyrics by Cult]

[Solo: Cult]

Lamashtu!

Demigoddess the mighty lion-head
The daughter of dark deserts
Demon goddess, Lamashtu
Succubus, in dark dreams

Haunting eternally in the nightmares of men
Malevolent destroyer of life
Lifeless, oh so lifeless is Thy gaze
In despair, all men fall in front of Thee

A death in the cradle, brought by the Childless One
Listening to the fetus? breath in silence

Dead children upon Thy feet, piles of dismembered men
Torn pieces of virtuous women, black blood from Thy fruitless womb
Haunting eternally in the nightmares of men
Lifeless, oh so lifeless is Thy gaze

Lamashtu - There shall be no prayer against Thee
Lamashtu - No hope for the one who is touched by Thee
Lamashtu - No return for the man who caresses Thee
Lamashtu - Doomed are the ones who meet Thee

The red moon is Thine, all hope is crushed before Thee

Demonic Seducer, Haunting Evil

[Solo: Cult]

Demonic Seducer, Haunting Evil

[Solo: Corpse]

Demonic Seducer, Haunting Evil

Lamashtu - There shall be no prayer against Thee
Lamashtu - Doomed are the ones who meet Thee

Killer of the innocent, dark goddess Lamashtu


5. We Are Unearthed


[Music by Corpse and Cult, Lyrics by Corpse]

[Solo: Cult]

We are the storms
We are the tides
We are the moon
We are the sun
We are the rapture
We are the decay
We are the voices
We are the echoes of those that were before

There are those that were
There were those that are

Who went unseen
Who were forgotten
In shadows

We are unearthed
Revealed to all
The faces of horror
The mirrors of time

Time shall not pass us by
Time shall not forget our might

We are those that were
We were those that are
In the echoes of time

Rising from the faults
Rising from the pits
Rising to greet the stars

We are unearthed

Earth becomes a grave
A kingdom of raining ash
Where lava streams run wild
Burning all that is left

Now the stars are burning
The cycle is ending
The kings are marching
To the worlds beyond

[Solo: Corpse]

We'll be the storms
We'll be the tides
We'll be the moon
We'll be the sun
We'll be the rapture
We'll be the decay
We'll be the voices
We'll be the echoes of those that were before

Time shall not pass us by
Time shall not forget our might

As one cycle ends, another one begins
Our flesh is meaningless and will be forgotten
Only the abyss remains in the ever-rolling dark


6. The Beyond


[Music & Lyrics by Corpse]

Yaji Ash-Shuthath!

When there were none in the nothingness
Beyond Tharh al Dubb al Akbar came Sothoth
Creator and destoyer of the gates
The glowing sphere who lies beyond

The transcendent lord of thousand colours
Whose gates shall set the horrors free

The All In One Who Is One In All
Who descended before man's creation
Monoliths we carve for Thy glory
Underneath the Watcher's eyes

Yog-Sothoth, may your names be known!
Mighty Beyond One, may your names be known!

Yaji Ash-Shuthath!

God of portals, create a way
Open wide the head of the dragon
Unnameable hungers are awakened
The ancient conquerors are coming

[Solo: Corpse]

Yog-Sothoth!
You know all things that are, that were, and that shall be
Beyond One!
Your body is the shifting universe of everlasting chaos


7. Howling Of The Blind


[Music & Lyrics by Corpse]

Azathoth!

In the center of all, where worlds born and fall
Where dwells the Demon Sultan
Azathoth - The blind maelstrom of madness
Azathoth - The father of creation's uncreation

Imperfect and crippled cosmic entity
Never satisfied, endless devourer of all
The Vortex - At the center of chaos
The Vortex - Into which all returns

There is balance in chaos
An essence of the Black Throne

There is order in chaos
That creates and destroys

Great Tetragrammaton
Reveal the void
Shatter the spheres of illusion
Make the world undone

Great Tetragrammaton
Name the void
The void that will swallow all
The howling of the Blind

[Solo: Kosti]

Great Tetragrammaton
Reveal the void
Shatter the spheres of illusion
Make the world undone

Great Tetragrammaton
Name the void
The void that will swallow all
The howling of the Blind

[Solo: Corpse]

Pipes the flute from beyond
Each note a breath of cosmos
Consuming birth-giver, Azathoth

In the center of all
Where worlds born and fall
Dwells the Demon Sultan, Azathoth

Azathoth!
May your chaos sound forevermore

Azathoth!
May your chaos sound forever


8. Cthulhu Rising


[Music Corpse and Cult, Lyrics by Corpse]

In His house of stone
Great Cthulhu lies
Dead but dreaming, the awakening

Cthulhu Fhtagn

What has risen may sink
And what has sunk may rise

Ia! Ia! Ia Cthulhu!
Ia! Ia! Ia Cthulhu!

In the womb of stone beneath the tides
The Sleeper dreamed of triumph
In the ageless chasms long forgotten
The Warrior dreamed of vengeance

City of stone where dreamed the dead
The formless, the feared, the dread
Cthulhu fhtagn!

The Abyss that devours the sun
will soon be at wake
The seal of Hypnos is shattered
and the stars conspire no more

The One that carried the weight of the water
Who outlasted aeons in His watery tomb

O Great shaker of mountains
Arise from the chambers of time

Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Fhtagn!

The madness from the sea
The ancient dead that none shall defy
The horror from the pits
Deep One that none can deny

Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Rising!
Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Pillars ascend from the depths of unknown
Sothoth shall open the gates
Things that are not from this world
Liberated and crawling onward

[Solo: Corpse]

Mountains will fall, deserts will drown
Earth will crawl and earth will beg
Oceans will boil, thunder will rage
Earth will coil and earth will beg

The One that carried the weight of the water
Who outlasted aeons in His watery tomb

O Great drowner of the elders
Arise and claim thy throne
