☩ ☩ ☩

Pagan Altar

Dawning of a brand new day
Lighting up the way with something new to say
From beyond the stars

A warning of the times gone by
No tears left to cry
Just a mournful sigh
From beyond the stars

Spawning from an Astral grave
No souls left to save
Floating on a wave
From beyond the stars

Burning life's eternal fire
Dictated by desire
A pagan altar high
From beyond the stars

Morning of a pagan reign
Nothing is the same
Scream out Satan's name
From beyond the stars

Dawning of a brand new day
Lighting up the way
Something new to say
From beyond the stars

☩ ☩ ☩

Judgement of the Dead

Galleries of dead are smiling
Candlelight is shining
Judgement of the dead

Hooded corpses form the jury
Point with pent up fury
Judgement of the dead

A courtroom filled with the dead
Judge Satan sits at their head
A cloak of black, that hangs to the ground
Sentence is passed without even a sound

Torn soldiers stand in the aisles
War heroes or fools, yesterday's child
Dismembered limbs that are lost to deaths glory
Each to his own, the same stupid story

Politicians standing in line
Generals following behind
Chained to the dock with the leaders of religion
Heads bowed low awaiting the decision

Galleries of dead are smiling, candlelight is shining
Judgement of the dead
