Venom

't dicatate to us
We were the first

Too loud for the crowd

Too loud

Souls of ninety thousand fold
Are only steps away
In the night, flames alight
Until that day, were here to stay
Blackened power metal marches
Through the gates of Hades
Weak and blind we leave behind
Bring down the lights
Inject the ice
Lucifer sings 'Let it begin'

Too loud for the crowd

Too loud

Too loud

Too loud for the crowd

Too loud

Too loud for the crowd

Too loud


3. 7 Gates Of Hell

In a dream or a nightmare
When love gives way to hate
The quest begins
For the keys to the seven gates
Ride the wings of a locust
See the wizard cast his spell
Search for the keys to
The seven gates of Hell

In Heavens Hell
Where all evil dwells
And man and beast are one
Conceiled to all
Reveiled to none
Lie those infernal gates
Those damned infernal gates

The seven gates of Hell

Hear the cry of the zombie
Raid the body of its soul
The quest for the sacred keys
Has become its goal
Steal the wings of a hydra
Take the sword from the sacred shrine
The strength of the beast
Take the sinners mind

Unveiled in death to the sinner
Written in the ancient book of lies
Hear the demons call
From the crimson waterfall
As the blood rains from the skies

When realities a dream
And every lie is true
In the day when you are me
And the night when I am you

When the flame of life grows cold
We chime the silent bell
And the unborn child is old
The seven gates of Hell

Going through the gates of Hell!

Oh, in Heavens Hell
So many died in vein
They never lived, their tales to tell
None shall find the keys
To set their spirits free
From the seven gates of Hell
The seven gates
The seven gates
The seven gates...

The seven gates of Hell

I hear the creatures crawling
Oh let me out of here
Don't keep me locked away like this
Ohh... nooo......


4. Leave Me In Hell

Midnight
Six sixty six
Torment
Beastial sex
Mother
Screaming in pain
Father
Rules hell's domain

I don't want to be born

I don't want it

Leave me in hell

Danger
Gold pentagram
Sacrifice
Full blooded ram
Karma
Hell bears its child
Reaper
Sharpens his scythe

I don't want to be born

I don't want it

Leave me in hell

Hail Satanic Majesties

Sabbath
My crucifix
Evil
Chief satanist
Danger
Possessed by hell
Master
Cast me a spell

I don't want to be born

I don't want it

Leave me in hell


5. Nightmare

By the shores of the ageing sea
Fools scream out destiny
They speak of vengeance and your gods
Into the fire - out of the flame
The beast awakes - thousands are slain
The mystic reads - forgotten tales
All hallows hail - your falling waves

Nightmare - this is your prize eternal
Nightmare - make no disguise infernal
Nightmare - you'll realize you lost in
Nightmare - Nightmare

Inside explodes - the butcher strikes
You'd love to die - your baby cries
Lead candles burn - just a decoy
The giant child - your his new toy

In the eye of the lions teeth
Your flesh becomes his meat
You lie devoured still full of life
Temples of ice - white desert breeze
The golden sun - prepares to freeze
Dying of thirst - drowning in pain
You wake in sleep - it starts again

7. Die Hard



8. Schitzo

Children gather round him
Mystery surrounds him
What terrible secret does he hide
An ordinary man
Doing what he can
But what goes on inside his mind

The night draws nigh
With darkened skies
Axe blade shines
Midnight chimes

Morning comes around
Headless bodies found
Our little friend just sits and smiles
Take them home and love them
Read the bible to them
Be sure to kiss each one goodnight

But come the night
You'll freeze with fright
Axe drawn high
Another dies

Creeping and searching for victims unknowing
What fate doth await round each corner
The take in the night
He's got you in his sight

Now that I have warned you
Always look behind you
You'll never know just who'll be there
That harmless looking dear
May be the one to fear
So never trust those you don't know

But come the night
You'll freeze with fright
Axe drawn high
The bastards die

10. In Nomine Satanas

In the name of Satan
We'll achieve our goal
With the blessings of Hades
We'll outlive our role
Through the power of Hellfire
We will gather our strength
With the blood of mere mortals
Our thirst will be quenched

In the name of Satan
Great things can be done
Through the lore of the demons
Satan's song can be sung
Gather around my Legions
For in time you'll see
Mortals screaming for mercy
At the king for world war three

Hail Satanas
In nominai Deinochous
Satanas Lucifre excelsis

In the name of Satan
We'll take what we need
Rock and roll damnation
Let your heart bleed
Sensing the disaster
So we'll blame our hate
Hell bore Satan's child
To use you as our bait

Hear infernal legions plead
As Satan sings his songs of war
As I see mortal corpses rise
Up from the depths
I care not for the whore
I shall destroy the priests
Bound in chains and damned in Hell
I shall n'er release their souls
For the internal torment always reigns
Summon legions of the night
For we are now as one....


11. Witching Hour

Come hear the moon is calling
The witching hour draws near
Come hear the bell is tolling
Mortals run in fear
Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry
Hold fast the sacrifice
For now it's the time to die
All hell breaks loose
Hell's breaking loose

Unveil the pentagram
And feel the demon's lust
Come watch the holy men
Who look on in disgust
Come taste blood
And feel the heat of Satan's breath
Look in the sky's and see
The warriors of death
All hell breaks loose
Hell's breaking loose
Witching hour

Our work is now complete
The blood runs fast and free
And Satan takes his bride
And cry's of blasphemy
All hell rejoices at the child
That she will bear
And Satan's only son
Shall be the world's despair
All hell breaks loose
Hell's breaking loose
Witching hour


12. Black Metal

Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note
We chime the hell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
For Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll

Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you've got
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top
Open the door, enter hell's core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Crank up the amps now it's night
Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll
Metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
Riding hell's stallions bareback and free
Faking our chances with raw energy

Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your souls
Live for the guest Satan's band

Against the odds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Casting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock n' roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
Warheads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life
Black Metal
Lay down your soul to the gods rock n' roll
Black Metal


13. The Chanting Of The Priests

Watch out -
There's a cry from Atlantis
Takes the wind by surprise
Voices so demanding
Thunder swarms the skies
To the north of horizon
Over mountains at east
There's a call to the lost ones
From the elders deceased

We're chanting - They're chanting

It's in a tear - Outside a prayer
Without form it's haunting the air
It's in a kiss - within a bite
It brings the darkness into light

The chanting of the priests
The chanting of the priests

Watch out -
It's a song for Olympus
Cracks the Morpheus dream
It oozes the ozone
Heavenly screams
By the golden waterfall
Through the fog on the ice
There's a voice in the shell call
It's demanding precise

We're chanting - They're chanting
The chanting of the priests

Yells ascend into the sleeping
Screech the hawk replies
Shudders pound the marching hearts
In reborn synchronize
Held in force the feeding prism
Triangle diaboli
Catalogues the souls inside
The city in the sea

Watch Out -
Where there's life without presence
There's a voice without sound
Deep inside you can't feel it
Yet it's all around
Through the eye of the pharaoh
To the tombs in the sand
There's a force in the distance
Calls you to the sacred land

The chanting of the priests


14. Satanachist

I preach the ways of Satan
Answer to his calls
I translate manuscripts
On ancient Latin scrolls
In my shrine, my avernus
I see the gates of Hell
Guarded well by Chronozon
Tortured souls do dwell

Satanachist
Satanachist

I mount the virgin Venus
Plague the blackened seas
I am the souls' destructor
Marching without fear
The night is filled with souls
In coral ecstasy
The saraband of death
Will always follow me

Satanachist
Satanachist

I bear the evil eye
Possess the unbidden
I'll bring your dead alive
And chew your flesh from bone
I stalk through life and death
With Gorgon for my gaze
I breath the immortal pain
Beware the human race

Satanachist

15. Fly Trap

Venus sheds her skin of gold
Sacrifice her life
Washes out the demon sleep
That hides between her eyes
Walking, watching, wandering out
Of soul she must pursue in death
Will she reach you?

Flytrap
Flytrap
Flytrap
Flytrap

Venus takes the lightning
And her hair becomes a flame
With a guise of innocents
Who learn her unknown game
Dancing, raining, sorcery
He's caught between her heat all year
She's pleased to meet you

Flytrap
Flytrap
Flytrap
Flytrap

Flytrap - demon child
Flytrap - virgins wild
Flytrap - angel's death
Flytrap - there's nothing left

Born without mortal care
Joyous of flight
Pleasing to the eye
Deadly delight

Venus arguementor
Torturing my aged soul
Fighting through the ashes
Give me back my skin of gold
Walking, Watching, Wondering
The soul she has pursued in life
Will she teach you?

Flytrap
Flytrap
Flytrap

16. Warhead

Warhead - hear the thunder roar
warhead - unite the lightning whore

Power burning - hell & man
raging torment - take my hand
frenzied motions - reach your soul
dance the warhead - fast or slow

Warhead - hear the thunder roar
warhead - unite the lightning whore

Born of thunder
raised by fire
call the heavens
by desire

Warhead - hear the thunder roar
warhead - unite the lightning whore

Screaming furnace - death of life
demons calling - chosen wives
sabbats charming - out in lust
chance the warhead - win or bust

Warhead - hear the thunder roar
warhead - unite the lightning whore
warhead - engraved on flesh & bone
warhead - born of mortal stone


17. Buried Alive

I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
As friend gather round and mourners they weep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
And on..............and on

As they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I scream out for help but they hear not a sound
I fear at the lid, my fingers they bleed
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream
Summon the dead..........
Baphomet's call..........
Blood on my hands........

"Let me out of here"

My bones are decayed, my flesh it doth rot
I'm lying in silk, take the lid off this box
My lungs gasp for air, my eyes scream for sight
I promise the rise of my body this night
Summon the dead..........
Baphomets call...........
Blood on my hands........
Screaming in torment.....
I'm felling you all......
Take heed of my plea.....
Answer my call...........
I'm gonna be free........


18. Love Amongst The Dead

At night the corpses rise
And leave a srench of rotten life
Eagerly the stagger forth
To find a friend to gripe
Copulating in the grounds
Of their eternal home
Regurgitate ejaculations
On their old tomb stones

Dead Love - There's love amongst the
Dead Love - There's love amongst the dead

Licking at their blackened limbs
the zombie pleasure cries
Lucifer's immortal glory
Watch them swapping eyes
Writhing in a mound of death
Maggots under the flesh
Digging fresh arrival thus
To lovingly caress

Dead Love - There's love amongst the
Dead Love - There's love amongst the dead

Go home you necromancers
Find true the words I've said
No place for mortal magic
There's love amongst the dead

The walls around the cemetery
Built high forever strong
Church of fools demand this
For the dead don't die for long
At the dawn of darkness
The keeper takes his keys
Locking out the living
For the dead don't want to leave

Dead Love - There's love amongst the
Dead Love - There's love amongst the dead

20. Bloodlust

Come on turn it up!

Madness

Stalking the night
Feeding fast on my prey
Draining the life
'Til the dawn of the day
Drinking and sucking
The blood rushing sweet
Half crazed with glory
Half crazed in the heat

Bloodlust

Tearing the flesh
Of the weak and the child
Sparing no one
The meek and the mild
I sink my fangs in your
Neck as you dream
I am Count Cronos
Vampire Supreme

Bloodlust

Bloodlust upon me
I'm biting the flesh
I'll take away
Your God given breath
Now I shall feast
On your life giving blood
Leave you to die
On the land you once stood

Bloodlust
