LYRICS:
01 Necromancer 0:00
"Candles Weep on a stone cold shrine
Dust of kings in a crooked line
A hollow chant from the crypt below
Where the dead and damned may go
Rise by my command
Bone obey my withered hand
Breath is ash but I remain
Lord of death night and the grave
Moonlight spills on a field of stone
I walk a kingdom never known
A crown of Skulls lays at my feet
Hearts long stilled begin to beat
Rise by my command
Bone obey my withered hand
Breath is ash but I remain
Lord of death night and the grave"
~
02 When Darkness Comes 05:53
"Eyes to blind to see the light
Cries too soft to break the night
I want you to show me, that you believe me
When Darkness Comes
Skies where angles all must die
Rise to battle all that try
I want you to show me, that you believe me
When Darkness Comes"
~
03 The Sleeper Awakens 10:22
"Return to maker
The Water of life
It remains inside
Open your third eye
The sleep awakens
A god emperor
Who's eyes are time
Engulfing this space
This planet is mine
The sleeper awakens
Return to dust
O mighty worm
These children of mine
Who transcend time
The sleeper awakens
A thousand armies
The dream begins
Engulfing this planet
The fire within
The sleeper awakens"
~
04 Goeita 15:32
"Salt in the wound of earth
Names cut deep in the dirt
I kneel where the light has died
Calling the things that hide
Goeita
Candles sink into the wax
Times collapse and it cracks
I shed my skin for thee
And bury whats left of me
Goeita
Seventy who breathe my name
Every mouth sings the same
Circle breaks under the strain
I stand and remain in the same
Goetia"
~
05 Morgwar 24:25

06 War Messiah 27:45
"Ash on the alter
Rot in the water
Iron boots that fall
Carving at the wall
Name of war
Name of fire
War messiah
Smoke from the tower
Stench of the power
Graves locked in the ground
No more holy sound
Name of war
Name of fire
War messiah"
~
07 Temple King 33:42
"Upon black moore sits a tower of stone
Mist curl round like a finger bone
From hell he shouts his unholy curse
Temple King come for his throne
In the forest grove sits a circle of stone
Of ancient power and holy tone
Where druids come to raise the dead
Temple King come for their heads
Octarine sparks off of the throne
As the sword is drawn from the stone
Brining forth his army of dread
Temple king strikes you dead"
~
08 Barsoom 38:05
"Displaced in a land not my own
Golden suns burn me alone
Drawn to war with a race from below
I alone hold the keys to the throne
Barsoom
Take the heads of the Tharks thats rise
Red skin green blood despise
Strange ships travel the skyways
As I leap to escape this place
Barsoom
As my body lay dying on the ground
On earth my gold surround
I must find a way back home
To the red planet I must go
Barsoom"
