Catharsis

See this miserable humanity
Victim of its own passions
That drive it to insanity
War, pain, suffering and destruction
War
Pain
Suffering
Destruction
Behind religion remain hidden the Man
To prevent himself from being condemned
« God, this is my redemption
I’m a victim of temptation
I hope that you hear my prayer
Would you accept the weak soul of a sinner? »
If you’re not accepted, you'll have to beat on death’s door
You‘re down on your knees to pray your God and implore
And he forgives and you continue to exist
But there is something else beyond the catharsis
This act of purge, of your sins' demise
Ensures to you a place in paradise
But it’s an ephemeral phenomenon
Which renews a pact with the Demon
Each Man has a part of evil in his veins
And the catharsis condemns to sin again
This is a symbol of God’s forgiveness
That defines the human weakness

Light in Death's Place
05:01
|

An eternal light watches over the darkness door
A powerful light from a gloomy house
The cemetery was built around this one
According to a strange prophecy
Midnight rings, one can hear the bell and the house lights up
The sky clouds over and the moon has a bloody shade
Alone in the dark, among the dead, insanity’s reigning
Turning back is useless, the mystery will be discovered
The shutters in rags slam against the wall and the doors creak in noise
The ground has rotted because of the sinking blood
In a circular room, many corpses drag on the floor
In perfect harmony, they venerate the light
I can’t help following this light with my eyes
More and more I think the text is made by lies
A light cannot be responsible for death
However, no one came back from this place
This wonderful light attracts me
I feel I’m falling into a trap
But I can die for it
Like many others before
I’ll stay here forever
This house is my tomb
I can’t help following this light with my eyes
In reality the text is not a lie
My life is ending I can see Satan’s face
You’ll never come to see the light in death’s place

The Dead Walk
06:32
|
|||
|
A grim atmosphere is reigning
There is wind, it’s hot but raining
The silence is loud and frozen
There are no stars in heaven
Nine angels fly in the sky
Sent by the Devil they say :
« The world is ready to die
This is the last judgment day »
A strange rumble from the ground
A dark light in the cemetery
Awakes the dead in a dull sound
This is the walk of the zombies
Chaos is reigning everywhere
The dead possessed by Satan
Are spreading death in the air
In blood perishes the Human
Led by nine fallen angels
The dead sow death on their way
They are coming back from hell
This is the last judgment day
The world on fire is collapsing
The end of the life is near
The dead in hell are returning
The Apocalypse is here

Malediction
05:00

You’re the new Devil’s subject
And I will tell you the curse
It’s your fate you must accept
That you have done your time on earth
You reject evil but you throw flames
You want the light but your soul is black
You enlarge hell when heaven is your aim
God has never satisfied your lack
That’s a moral pain but your whole body suffers
Cause of the mind of hell which is your soul master
I damn you, Man, Evil is your single weapon
I take you away in hell, where Satan thrones
Soiled by a wrong purity
Now you know what are the lies
Follow me and you will see
You will see the truth in his eyes
Now it’s the end, you’re not forgiven
You’ll justify yourself in hell
You know why you’ve been chosen
Death is coming here the bell
That’s a moral pain but your whole body suffers
Cause of the mind of hell which is your soul master
I damn you, Man, Evil is your single weapon
I take you away in hell, where Satan thrones
Religion will not bring peace
And you’re not a disciple
It’s time to reject the Christ
It’s time to burn the Bible
This unless belief has made you bad
And now there’s in you a constant fear
You regret all, you are so sad
I see on you the bleeding tears
Evil rises up in you when you implore your God
You are preparing yourself to see the demons
It’s the prophecy that the Devil has written
Your fate will never take you away in heaven
That’s a moral pain but your whole body suffers
Cause of the mind of hell which is your soul master
I damn you, Man, Evil is your single weapon
I take you away in hell, where Satan thrones

Whisper my Hate
04:00
|
|||
|
Watching through the looking glass he didn’t recognize his face
He saw the insane in his eyes with a demonic trace
Something coming from the inside
Told him to show his hatred before he dies
His eyes are burning with the desire of revenge
Against this world which has left him no chance
I’m the voice of the demon in you
I’m your friend when you rape the laws
I won’t be your enemy anymore
I am Evil, you, and nothing more
This world is not a place for me
This world is not a place to be
You must serve for destruction
Cause death is the only solution
Whisper your hatred to the world
Lucifer will have the last word
This world is not a place for me
This world is not a place to be

Offering
05:18
|
|||
|
Life may be hard to be led in the right way
Delusion knockin’on at your door
Hope leaving you day after day
Beliefs vanishing in front of failure
Offering your soul to the Devil
Is the only remaining solution
Succeeding by playing with Evil
In immorality fighting for your reasons
Offering your soul to the Devil
Succeeding by playing with Evil
Offering your soul to the Devil
Is the only remaining solution
Succeeding by playing with Evil
In immorality fighting for your reasons
Reckoning that the Devil possesses you
To deny any responsibility in your acts
Is a mistake cause the Devil’s not true
You are only with yourself sealing a pact
The Devil doesn’t need to be
Nothing but your reflection you can see
There are so many obscure forces
Which lead each man from within
There’s nothing to seek in the abyss
Your devil accepts all your offerings
He’ll accept your offerings
You’ll accept your own offerings
