TEMPLE OF DREAD LYRICS

1. World Sacrifice

With God's blessing on the right path
Heavens help me with this deed
Flying on the holy wings of wrath
Kill for peace, divine creed
Eradicate the root of disaster

Loyal to the master's voice
Mega kill is freedom's hoist
Aiming for an unholy peace

Praying, striving, death-defying
Lord help me, bringer of peace
World sacrifice – slaying human race
World Sacrifice – altar of God's grace

Amen

Only God knows it's not a sin
Immolation, holy kin
Holy mission, peace will last

Praying, striving, death-defying
Lord help me, bringer of peace
World sacrifice – slaying human race
World sacrifice – altar of God's grace

Holy war
Unholy peace

2. Commands from a Black Soul

Obey the commander, deep from inside
Your inner compass, no need to decide
Recipient of orders, following blind
Organization of disarrayed minds

Commands from a black soul
Muted and loud – commands
Compulsion to execute – commands
Commands from a black soul

Dark puppet master, pulling on your strings
Mischievous soul's pastor, black fruit for the chimp
Synaptic short circuit, manly proposed
Human conceptions, divinely disposed

Commands from a black soul
Muted and loud – commands
Compulsion to execute – commands
Commands from a black soul

I tell you what to do
Your conscience may stay clean
Sometimes you can't hear me
Sometimes I shout out loud

I tell you what to do
Whitewashing your sins
No charges of misconduct
Sometimes I shout out loud

If the order is killing, don't hesitate
Commandments for life, worry-free state
Pure blackness, anima mine
God gives a soul, man is divine

Commands from a black soul
Muted and loud – commands
Compulsion to execute – commands
Commands from a black soul

3. Enforcers of the Vile

Congregation in the dark
Agonizing after mass
See the priest's dirty hands, worshipping the wrong
Diatribes, singing shady songs

They sing their hymns and cross themselves
They pray like a blessed throng
Worship
Enforcers of the vile

Not knowing rite from wrong

Offering virginity
Hate, blood and kill
Human sacrifice
Commanded to be cruel

They sing their hymns and cross themselves
They pray like a blessed throng
Worship
Enforcers of the vile

Worship darkness, torture, fear and pain

Worship darkness, suppression
Evil convents, cattle is the fate

God's away, nefarious prance
Greedy circle, malicious dance
Killing, torment and maltreatment, spilling holy blood
Pious nightmare, no one to abscond

They sing their hymns and cross themselves
They pray like a blessed throng
Worship
Enforcers of the vile

Enforcers of the vile
Not knowing rite from wrong
Enforcers of the vile
Not knowing rite from wrong

4. Symbiotic Delusion

Secluded, from the world
Coupled, madness twofold
Rise, the might is ours
Fall, share the darkest hours

Eavesdrop, daemonic spies
Brain wash, feeding with lies
Black shadow, a snake in the grass
Loud whisper, and on we march

Symbiotic delusion
Symbiotic delusion

Madness, danger, mental conjunction
Elopement, sheltered, deep in your debt

Just the one of us

Bedlam, chaos, demented abduction
Frantic asylum, join my world

Just the one of us
Just the two of me

Just the one of us
Just the two of me
Just the one of us
Just the two of me
Contempt, misunderstood
Twosome, our sainthood
Freedom, your thoughts are mine
Gemini, two is divine

Symbiotic delusion
Symbiotic delusion

5. Machine

Ignorant of stage fright, denying what is real
Crushing with delight, inhuman ordeal
Cold affiliation, unfeeling intercourse
Raping out of boredom, dehumanized discourse

No emotions to express - machine
Robot of perversion

Engines of destruction, hard Procrustes' bed
Subduing of the humans, coldness rise instead
My alexithymia, icy state of mind
People equal shit to me, emotionally declined

Bringing the world down - machine
Thoroughly unhuman - machine
Eradicate all life - machine
I am a machine

Pain and affliction – the outcome of my vicious labour
Hunting apparatus, engineered to kill
Programmed to destroy, technical free will

Killing blood obsessed - machine
No emotions to express - machine
Bringing the world down - machine
I am a machine

6. Alive I Rot

Blurry mind, indisposed condition
Severe and dire status post
Pour me one, just pour me one
The mice they come, I come undone

Craving, disgorging, distorting
Confusion, spiritual suffusion
Angel's share, the devil's shot
I had mine, alive I rot

Walls coming near
Cruel, psychotic fear

Worms they feast inside of me
Maggots, bugs everywhere
Liquid handcuff, I'm not free
Hide my eyes, still everything I see
...at least

Reckless souse, to the hilt
Blurry past, to the hilt
Psychotic future, to the hilt
A life condemned, spirit distilled

Craving, disgorging, distorting
Confusion, spiritual suffusion
Angel's share, the devil's shot
I had mine, alive I rot

Worms they feast inside of me
Maggots, bugs everywhere
Liquid handcuff, I'm not free
Hide my eyes, but I can see

Reckless souse, to the hilt
Blurry past, to the hilt
Psychotic future, to the hilt
A life condemned, spirit distilled

Craving, disgorging, distorting
Confusion, spiritual suffusion
Angel's share, the devil's shot
I had mine, alive I rot

7. Dedication

Ambition to be a reigning king
Effort, sweat, blood and brains
Ascension, although indistinct
Immaculate, staying free from stains

Immolate your world

Sacrifice your own needs
No surrender, even when it bleeds
On and on you have to go
Dedication – victory and woe

Join the marching death squad
Fighting, first of the front line
Continuing, no matter what
Grind yourself or you will decline

What of all will last when you die
Rising high to reach the far sky
An epitaph surely no one will read
Ending as the foul maggots' seed

Make your sacrifice

What of all will last when you die
Your legacy is a final sigh

Act, most pious lamb of flock
Zealot, sloth is a disgrace
Adept of the good livestock
Running to win every rat race

Immolate your world

Sacrifice your own needs
No surrender, even when it bleeds
On and on you have to go
Dedication – victory and woe

8. Sold Baptism

[originally by Morgoth]

9. Blood Craving Mantra

May you – calm down...
Soon you – will feast on blood

Thirst unbearable – moisten my arid throat
Appetence not curable – a curvaceous road
Have to soothe my nerves, cool down – have to think anew
Prevention of drouthy breakdown – and unbloody spew

Dreams of haemal beverages – proffered in a chalice
Gory springs, hemorrhages – thirst is a disease
Thirst unquenchable – imbibing from the veins
Warm and tasty drench from hell – blood losses are my gains

Phlebotomy into the glass – waters my dry mouth
Abundant rain of the red – sticking out my tongue

May you – calm down
Soon you – will feast on blood
Join the drinking greedily – calming down all fears
You cry blood in awe of God – I will drink your tears

May you – calm down...
Soon you – will feast on blood
May you – calm down...
