Prophet 05:46
And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war, their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets and their tongues will rot in their mouths... A forked tongue speaks Enrage the weak A prophet walks the land With hooded eye And practised lies A prophet walks the land Feed om your fear What will you hear When a prophet walks the land Twisted outstretched hand The madness fanned A prophet walks the land The seas will dry Fire rain from the sky When the prophet walks land Two headed calves On burning paths Signs that the prophet walks the land A plague on all The weak can crawl A prophet walks the land The Father of lies The devil in disguise Fall to your knees and hail the prophet of the land Gather the worthless, the unlucky, the alone Muster the cripples the maimed and the prone Gather the forgotten downtrodden germs Amass the victims the cast aside worms Bring me the shameful, the ugly, the wretched Bring them to our side..... Come my children my loyal followers they cannot stop us. Spread the word like a disease throughout the lands

Witchfinder 05:25
Robed in black Rotten scriptures in hand Prayer for the righteous Scourge of the land He casts his eye Search for the signs The mark of the devil Any symbol that binds The Witchfinder Witchfinder Witchfinder "You kneel before us in this holy place of worship accused of witchcraft and sorcery. You shall be removed from this place for examination... If this goes Ill for you, It will the pyre to save your poor wretched soul. How do you plead...? May God have mercy on us all" ~ The Witchfinder Rides Again, 1972. Hunting & seeking Question the fear Probing for answers Eye that sheds no tear See through the scheming Finger points the blame Dragged Cursing screaming Put to the flame By the Witchfinder Witchfinder Witchfinder And the priest doth glower Cowards shield in the tower The crones conceal the power Try to evade the scour Of the witchfinder Witchfinder Witchfinder Witchfinder Witchfinder Black hearted Bitchfinder

Dying Wizard 04:20
Deadly battle all is lost Bloodlust woken count the cost Fallen warriors on the ground Sound retreat turn around Beaten comrades working back Steadfast hearts that start to crack Mages men were tall and cruel Defeated beaten & overthrew Fall back fall back Retreat you fools Blood drying in dying pools Confusion chaos running wild All is gone for the lost exiled Stand and fight or kneel and crawl No one heeds the wizards call So close but so far away Fall back starts but won't save the day We fought and fought we've nothing left The wizards left us to our death. Fall back fall back Retreat you fools Blood drying in dying pool Dying Wizard lost last words Barely mumbled lost and unheard A fatal warning for us all Retreat retreat or you will fall Fall back fall back Retreat you fools Blood drying in dying pool Together we stand Together we fall. Together we stand Together we fall. Together we stand Together we fall. Together we fall. Together we fall.

Bone-Eater 04:06
Buried sleeping for a 100 years Vilified lothed and feared The Bone-eater slowly stirs Comes a-creeping from its lair Bone-eater Bone-eater Snapping jaws needle fangs Seeks the next Sacrificial lamb Rend the flesh strip the bones The creature lurks the dirty tombs Bone-eater Bone-eater Feeding time now it roams Beast wants your crunchy bones Seeking yer marrow suck it dry Crushing bones make you scream & cry Bone-eater Bone-eater Bone-eater raise its filthy snout Bone-eater'll sniff you out Bone-eater bone-eater Never sated never fed Whispers telling of it's dread and as the world teeters Comes time for the bone-eaters Bone-eater Bone-eater Bone-eater bone-eater

Ancient bones relics in the dust Fading echos heard at Nights cusp Hallowed robes frayed and worn Neglected splendor beyond forlorn Ancient bones gathered from the one Ancient bones in the setting sun Ancient bones gathered from the one Ancient Bones Shadowed heroes the spectral men Unsung deeds lost in time again Fleeting memory's fade at night Rage again with the coming light Ancient bones gathered from the one Ancient Bones in the dying sun Ancient bones gathered from the one Ancient Bones New day raising comes ablaze Flaming torches burn dawns haze We'll rise again we'll fight once more For the one that we all adore Ancient bones from the one Ancient Bones in the dying sun Ancient bones works begun Ancient Bones nothings won

800 Years 06:08
800 years of waiting 800 years of pain Trying to feel the daylight He's trying to taste the rain Darkness in the dungeon Locked up like a thief Hidden from his people Wrapped up in his grief Join the cult of Dirtbird Feel the Wizards pain Join the cult of Dirtbird Crawling from the tunnel Stumble from the gloom Sneaking from the underground Digging through the 'shrooms Stealing from the shadows Keep in brother moon's shade Longing for his freedom Hope begins to fade Join the cult of Dirtbird Feel the Wizards pain Join the cult of Dirtbird Join the cult of Dirtbird Feel the Wizards pain Join the cult of Dirtbird Join the cult of Dirtbird Ease the Wizards pain Join the cult of Dirtbird Join the cult of Dirtbird Join the cult of Dirtbird Sorcery is brewing Time to pay some dues Dirtbirds on his way back The crow gives no clues

Ogres Breath 05:17
Slowly lumbers slowly comes Gravestone teeth loose in gums Dragging arms Tree trunk legs Dirty tongue out for the Dregs Rotten stench heralds certain death Stinking horrible ogres breath Crushing fingers grabbing you Squeeze & squeeze & squeeze until your blue Skin like stone hard & rough Terrible eyes staring & tough Rotten stench heralds certain death Stinking dirty rotten ogres Breath Greedy ogre tall and cruel Ferocious killers in a duel Hide and cower bow in fear Stay away from it if it's near Rotten stench heralds certain death Stinking horrible ogres breath Slowly lumbers after you Gravestone teeth loose in gums Dragging arms Tree trunk legs Dirty tongue out for the Dregs Rotten stench heralds certain death Stinking horrible ogres breath

Titans 06:13
Grasping blindly from the grave Chill the bones of fearless brave Ground to dust & ground to dirt Burnt to ash remove the hurt Dispair as death rides with us The oracle predicts it thus Strive until the bitter end Titans start their long decent Weary pilgrims turn their back Mourning robes a dreary black Titans fill the empty graves Overlords turned helpless slaves Darkening shadows that we shun Evil hearts we hide as one And the memory of ghosts Haunt the Titans become the hosts And the world burns while we wait Sacrifice just comes too late Lie in the grave feel the weight Grasping blindly its our fate. Sacrifice just comes too late Grasp blindly it our fate Sacrifice just comes too late Too late Sacrifice comes too late Too late Too late

Home 04:35
I have haunted the realms of darkness Died on trampled green fields Hid in ruined starkness Been carried on many shields Bore witness at the dawning Raised swords with quiet despair The life blood ebbs slowly Broken souls laid bare Watched disaster sweep the land Fire, famines and plague And as plans collapse or bloom Reasons why grow vague Wept over countless bones Encouraged lies & deceit Bowed before the mighty thrones Watched them lose that hallow seat I'll not Wait (I'll not Wait) I'm coming home (Coming home) I'll not wait (I'll not Wait) I'm coming home(Coming home) I turn my head to home Coming home, coming home.
