Give Me Fire

["The Watchers of Catal Huyuk" demo 1999]
[G.B.H. cover]

Smoke and fire are burning bright, we'll set the tinderbox alight.

Rising from the ashes the phoenix lives, life and death the red flame gives.

Give me fire, on which I feed, give me fire, 'cause it's a need.
Real fine, I can tell, real fine really burns in hell.

Take a breath the heat surmounts, your mind wanders, you have your doubts.

Brain goes numb, in the heat, body glows, you cling to your seat.

It's on my head if I burn, sit next to me and take your turn.
Don't blame the flame by which I'm fueled, one day by fire we'll all be ruled.

Spellbound

["The Bemoaning Of Metatron" demo 1998]

You are death, wings ablaze,
Gods aflame through the night,
Falling down
'til the end of fucking time
Spellbound
Lost idols, lost wizards, lost giants, lost gorgons
Lost heroes, lost titans, lost ages.
You are wrath, serpent eyes, burning skies
Darkness calls, like wolven howls
Come to me on ravens breath
Spellbound
Lost terror, lost horror, lost evil, lost hatred
Lost malice, lost slaughter, lost carnage
Lost poison, lost hades, lost gryphon
Lost milcom, lost dagaon, lost Odin
Lost Ishtar, lost Rahab, lost Erebus
Lost Hecate.

The Gleaming Red Serpent

["Metatron And The Red Gleaming Serpent" demo 1999]

Angel of light, farther of lies,
Cast out of heaven.
Master of sin, lord of hell
Watcher of graves.
Guilty of pride, dogs by your side
Death holds your soul
Fallen from grace, no where to hide
Diabolis
O Babylon you embrace the abominations of the earth
Royal dignity was yours from the earliest days
Now you are drunk with the blood of many slain
You are the gleaming red serpent
Day star son of the dawn.
Angel of manes and nether realms
Lost Lucifer.
Prince of the air, dread seraphim,
Wings full of eyes.
You hold the keys of birth and rain,
You raise the dead.
Ape of god, wraith of war,
Dark destroyer.
