From Hell

Yeah!
The sun has set and the time has come for darkness
Here comes the hour when unholy creatures reap
Shadow walkers from the depths, they prowl among us
The spectres and ghosts that haunt our restless sleep
The hounds of hell are coming to the fore
Death knocks on your door
From Hell! Cries of the dying, torturers arising
From Hell! Screams of the damned echo through the land
From Hell! Everlasting pain in darkness and in flames
From Hell! Fumes of death, take your final breath
Yeah!
The heathen creatures, the ones who haunt your nightmares
Don't you feel like there's something always watching you
Spectres arise and plague your mind with terror
Laughing as insanity washes over you
Falling on your knees, you shake with fear
As your fate draws near
From Hell! Cries of the dying, torturers arising
From Hell! Screams of the damned echo through the land
From Hell! Everlasting pain in darkness and in flames
From Hell! Fumes of death, take your final breath
On the witching hour the graves will split wide open
As they awaken the dead will break their chains
The blood red moon delivers a fateful omen
Darkness pierced only by abyssal flames
The hounds of hell are coming to the fore
Death knocks on your door
From Hell! Cries of the dying, torturers arising
From Hell! Screams of the damned echo through the land
From Hell! Everlasting pain in darkness and in flames
From Hell! Fumes of death, take your final breath
Yeah!

Spectre of Death
05:59

Watching over my brother's tomb, drenched in pale moonlight
I remember how he met his doom on that unhallowed night
He swore he would come back to me across Charon's waves
But how many others swore to that who are lying in their graves?
Your wretched heart is torn, endlessly you mourn
You're haunted by dark memories of revenge made flesh
Sorrow engulfs your mind, oh you are so blind
Open up your eyes and see the spectre of death
Through the veil of darkness, amidst the shadowy sky
I could have sworn I heard a whisper swiftly pass me by
Abandoned at the knees of a stone angel
You watch as I weep until your soul runs cold
Your wretched heart is torn, endlessly you mourn
You're haunted by dark memories of revenge made flesh
Sorrow engulfs your mind, oh you are so blind
Open up your eyes and see the spectre of death
Your name lies before me carved upon stone
With the cursed accolades of your body long gone cold
Although I see you laid to rest before me clear as day
I still sometimes feel you're here in an overwhelming way
Buried alive, but for what crime?
I can hear the death knell chime
He who laid me in this earthen bed
Will meet his doom when I return from the dead
Fighting to break out of this hell
Fingernails claw in the dirt where I fell
Gasping for air, I am on the war path
I have returned to bring vengeance and wrath
Your wretched heart is torn, endlessly you mourn
You're haunted by dark memories of revenge made flesh
Sorrow engulfs your mind, oh you are so blind
Open up your eyes and see the spectre of death
Your wretched heart is torn, endlessly you mourn
You're haunted by dark memories of revenge made flesh
Sorrow engulfs your mind, oh you are so blind
Open up your eyes and see the spectre of death
Your wretched heart is torn, endlessly you mourn
You're haunted by dark memories of revenge made flesh
Sorrow engulfs your mind, oh you are so blind
Open up your eyes and see the spectre of death

Gates of Horn and Ivory
04:57

Gliding across the night black sea
Seeking that far off land
Displaced hero forged in history
To whom the gods lend their hand
His dreams will bind or set him free
At the gates of horn and ivory
Dreams of days and haunted nights
A dream of future or past
Is it a dream or not at all?
And will that dream ever last?
Destiny is all that I seek
At the gates of horn and ivory
Twin ravens they fly across the sky
The eyes and wings of the gods
Taking word to hall up high
Through mist sunshine and fog
Their visions are revealed to me
At the gates of horn and ivory

Vlad The Impaler

Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Lifting the banner of corpses high
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Serving swift justice at the end of a spike
Sharpened stakes rise from the ground
Urchins and noblemen gather round
To witness the count pass ultimate judgement
On those who have displeased his laws
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
His homeland gutted, stricken and bare
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Psychotic warlord, anything but fair
His enemies beasts, his people's saviour
By night his robes are black
Purging the land, killing for pleasure
The punishment a stake through your back
Sharpened stakes rise from the ground
Urchins and noblemen gather round
To witness the count pass ultimate judgement
On those who have displeased his laws
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Deep in his castle with maidens fair
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Prisoners below live in grim despair
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
Burial pits of corpses fresh
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the Impaler
In Transylvania there lies only death
Sharpened stakes rise from the ground
Urchins and noblemen gather round
To witness the count pass ultimate judgement
On those who have displeased his laws
