Lyrics to Abbath (Full Album) by Abbath

Tracklist: 01. To War! Speed demon spread thy shanks wide Shower offense! Defile Citadel pure desire's vice Damnation nigh Behemoths feast Old bloodlines die - Warrior caste feed raging beast Hear the roar of battle-horn. To War! Dread Reavers rise from dismal mist Ghouls emerge - Catalyst Form jagged, spike - studded fist Lean years breed - a skeletal corps Deviant yield - Omnivore Tide devours craven shore To battlefield stream the swarm. To War! Mephitic mob - torch the havens Chew the ribs of temple-maidens Blackened babes - hung on high Nourish the hawks circling sky Talons to flesh - a hook-beak strips Long pig to shreds - tongue from lips Wild Reavers pledge - their guts to pour Blizzard kin raise the skulls. Talisman shield - the sword our prophesy Grail Quest - benighted destiny War paths - must terminate in blood Pit erupt - spray ochre upon the mud. Plague Weavers spread Y-pestis far Thin armoured ranks Marauders close - Decimate guard Hammer blade on anvil forge Hel know our name Wade knee deep - in sod of gore once more unto the breach. To War. 02. Winterbane Cleanse steel in carnage - Unleash chthonic Darkness Scud stochastic vortex - Blitz vicious bastards Sheath blades in carcass - Disembowel tangled skein Upon ripe flesh we harvest - Human grain mortal pain Reaper rides on genocides' arc of scythes. Combat casts the warrior - warfare marks the age Stone to bronze to iron - steel is our rage! Blood soaked grimoires spell - Hel a million ways Vellum spills the venom - a poison chalice sprays. Gods of War! Exhort the hordes as battle roars. A Dragon dives Belching hives of serpent flies Scribes skewer history - Truth dies in the telling Scribes skewer history - Truth dies in the yelling of lies! Afford us our sins. Bloodlust our wings In death's domain of Winterbane. Death wept that grim day - gutting ghost from viscera Flaying soul from the clay - cleaving mind from terror. Reavers rode roughshod - 'cross the skull-crushed plain Legions mass the grave - where spirits shriek insane. Fire drakes dive. Burn ranks alive. Dead worlds collide. Ravens glide. Swoop and pluck the Hero's eyes. Scars carve the memory - truth lies in the cutting Scars carve the memory - truth lies in the culling of lies Seraphim soar above the ichor The sea of slain at Winterbane. Wilderness will not claim the beast Nor civilized state deny its feast Not gibberish of madman, hysteric chant of priest Nor lovers' brutal sighs, lend the savage peace. A demon raised in flames must stride Stricken trails in stark divide The frozen waste of Winterbane To face the monster still inside. Deep within its burning eyes A killer stirs, starts to rise... Reavers ride the ice-crest tides Thunderous hooves churn the skies. 03. Ashes of the Damned Ashes of the Damned - bourne on pestilential winds Zephyrs flay the sky - cinders bath in blaze Scorch raw starry vault - Above the earth accursed Carnage beyond despair - souls seared in gaze. Embers of warriors - fuel legends heroes bled Seidmen weep the tears Valkyries fear to shed. Ashes of the Damned Serpent-tongue sick with thirst - in thy venom we immerse. Necrotic Lord Bless Our Chains - baptise heathen flesh in flames. But free of all Rapture's stain. From ash The Damned will rise again! Rats, spread deadly spore - bubonic swarm. Claws, of vermin rake - ancient graves. Belch, necrotic maw - kisses blistering. Melt, Death's face to yours - Decay with Grace. Frost, bite iron lung - demonic storm. Spit, last heathen words - against the hail. Flesh, raise heavy chains - curse the skies. Spark, suck lightening strike - the final nail. Ashes of the Damned - bourne on pestilential winds Zephyrs flay the sky - cinders bath in blaze Scorch raw starry vault - Above the earth accursed Carnage beyond despair - souls seared in gaze. 04. Ocean of Wounds Club-foot cripple's withered stride Disturbs the dust of barren tide. Lifetime spun from martial pride Graft of scars on calloused hide. Weathered vet of many campaigns Knuckles grip anew the reigns. Charger harnessed - standard raised. Sombre stroke to crown aspire. Drown fears in void of infernal Styx. Warrior's doubt in terror cicatrix. Drown the sound of doom in cobalt depths. Submerge grief in the Ocean of Wounds. In hateful breeze the guillotine hum Of axe descent to nape of scum. Wed to pain, to horror numb. Crimson world will soften the slum. Short cuts burn when u seek fire. Bone-deep become the demon sired. Strong through trials, torments dire. Sombre stroke to crown aspire. Drown fears in void of infernal Styx. Warrior's doubt in terror cicatrix. Drown the sound of doom in cobalt depths. Submerge grief in the Ocean of Wounds. 05. Count the Dead Grimshard Lord of northern Reach Heed the dread Hel can teach. Despair in halls of burning keep Taste the tears kinfolk weep See the twilight realm you rule Land aflame, flesh our fuel. Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled. Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left To Count the Dead. Greybeard swing your broken sword In killing arcs' terminal stroke Let battle-cry rip from throat As lungs fill with acrid smoke Swallow bile of livid fear on which you choke so cavalier. Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled. Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left To Count the Dead. Cataracts cloud your streaming eyes Glory fades in dying light. Banners bright drained of colour Grey in dusk of deadly night. Old Lion maimed draw your knife End your worthless life. Kneel before the Raven Hordes Of Ice, Fire and Strife. Lord Warden where's your flock? Sons lie slain at your feet. Daughters shamed by reaver's cock Your champions butchered meat. Grimshard Lord of northern Reach Heed the dread Hel can teach. Despair in halls of burning keep Taste the tears kinfolk weep See the twilight realm you rule Land aflame, flesh our fuel. Upon the carcass of the world Cenotaph for the scourged. Inspire men at arms - the brave who have not fled Lead ire on final charge - until no soul is left To Count the Dead. 06. Fenrir Hunts Rank and file of Legions vile form their battle lines Clad in armour black as night Northern Darkness sines Banners raised skin of slaves slap in Vanir's breeze Seidmen cut rune wards deep Hel thaws all shall freeze. Release the flood a rampant tide of blood Will fill this black lagoon Warriors weened on gore and gruel must heed The carrion call of doom. Pack Master! Unleash the Reavers eager for rapine. Emerge from lair of ice and gneiss cave and ravine. Vulpine scouts, winter-lean, scent meat on ripe spore A feast awaits the frenzy of rabid fang and claw. Volcanic shores bleed a gush of iron ore From ashes Death will bloom. Howl for Hel Voracious Dogs of War. Fenrir hunts Snaps jaws of doom. Skills to hone, swords to whet to keen edge damascene. Spear tip to taper, arrow fletch, hammerhead to clean In spleen. Shield to boss, helm to crest, battle axe to grind Wound to stitch, gut to void, Berzerker-rage to blind. Sick mind. Beneath a shroud of bludgeoned sky We tread the dust on corpse-strewn roads. Hum laments of requiems Half-remembered odes Of orphaned brats, weeping widows. We march to crack of thunder Ragnarok in our eyes To drumbeat of the Damned we salute your sacrifice We march for love of slaughter drunk on wine of blades We fight for eternal night until the End of Days Release the flood a rampant tide of blood Will fill this black lagoon. Warriors weened on gore and gruel must heed The carrion call. Volcanic shores bleed a gush of iron ore From ashes Death will bloom. Howl for Hell Voracious Dogs of War. Fenrir hunts Snaps jaws of doom. 07. Root of the Mountain Stooped now the wraith, more shadow than flesh. once mighty hews lie sunken in chest. Spectral hoar frost spat on breath. A pulse ebbs, yet, still Lord of Death. A silent tongue whispers tumours in head. Bending will of wardogs led. To glorious carnage Armies were fed Leech to thrombosis Nations were bled. A world quailed in terror Stricken with fear Parents slew children As juggernaut drew near. Beneath vast crush of crag Entombed in gut of molten slag An Archon-King cursed to live As regent in Abyss of eldritch Necropolis. Stalking caverns' Gargantuan scope - Revenant sits on his throne. Emperor infernal In City of Bone And shattered stone. At World's Edge a mighty range Cuts through cloud impaling Heaven Follow fissures down - Behold: The Root of the Mountain. 08. Endless Phoenix in a frozen flame Trapped in Arctic-Winter crypt Scars of past have cast the chains From Book of Ages we are ripped Raven glide on Polar-winds Hailstones sharp shards of glass Banish thoughts of lesser men In the end flesh is grass. Divided we fall United we rule Hybrid stand tall Ignite freak with fool. Phoenix soar as sunlight thaws Glacier and frigid earth Shake the ice from fiery mane Torch the skies emblazon birth Raven dive through lightning strike Whip cirrus into swell Pierced by deadly shrike Spirit flies, no man can fell. Divided we fall United we rule Steadfast we toil Rebellion our tool Dauntless Fearless Tireless Relentless. Phoenix rise and conquer Time Temper fate Reclaim the zeitgeist in its prime Rejuvenate Raven dive through lightning strike Whip cirrus into swell Pierced by shrike Spirit flies, no man can fell. Divided we fall United we rule Steadfast we toil Rebellion our tool Dauntless Fearless Tireless Relentless. 09. Riding on the Win Shooting for the stars Cruise the speed of light Glowin god of Mars Body burning bright Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Tearing up through life Million miles an hour Blinding all in sight Surging rush of power Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Ridin' on the wind! Ridin' on the wind! Ridin' on the wind! RIDING on THE WIND! Thunderbolt from hell Shattering aloud Screamin' demons yell Bursting through the clouds Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind 10. Nebular Ravens Winter Damnation calls Final blasts close the earth Immortal victory Winters bane upon the masses Snow spiraling towards auroral clouds Clear nebulous visions sight Soulwinds fall into the dark ice realms Where you now reach far Blackwinged ravens cry for tragedies to come Lurking with snowfall By doom they drag the robe of ice Frozen of heart you now reach far In the nebular ravens winter Winds are known from where they blow Nebular ravens winter Strength comes from us above Ravens season has begun Melancholic ageless and unknown Mesmerized you fall in our domain Freezing in the heart Sojourn from the elder ravens Beauteous winter birth An eerie mage Emblazoned with the biting winds Damnation calls With staring glowing yearning eyes Poised they strike again and drag Us all below In the nebular ravens winter Winds are known from where they blow Nebular ravens winter Might bestowed from us above Ravens season has begun Melancholic ageless and unknown Mesmerized you fall in our domain Inhale the effluence of the demonworlds Freezing in the heart
