1. STORM BEFORE THE CALM

Storm - descends in hellish reign, a blight upon the skies
Run - all hope is now in vain, there is only time left to die
Fire - unfolds its choking grasp, a nuclear pyre upon which to burn
Scream - a nation breathes it's last, man is now ashes and the world is his urn

The storm before the calm
A darkness without dawn
All hope and life is gone
With the storm before the calm

Burn - in throes of genocide, breath comes in fatal fumes
Choke - on toxic winds death rides, decrying all our dooms
Lost - the game ends in checkmate, and this time no one wins
Dead - we'll see the truth too late, everyone dies for one man's sins

The storm before the calm
A darkness without dawn
All hope and life is gone
With the storm before the calm

We can no longer pretend
That there is beginning, without end
And now, we must come to the end

Skies - stretch blackened overhead, an endless ebony tomb
Earth - crumbles beneath the dead, despoiled and consumed
Dead - ashes shroud to the land, to bury all our bones
Calm - a somber day at hand, a funeral with none left to mourn

The storm before the calm
A darkness without dawn
All hope and life is gone
With the storm before the calm


2. TOXIC SANCTUARY

Children of the atom, mutant strain
Barren wasteland, dead soil pitted by acid rain
Xenophobic, they allow no one within
All humans to them are guilty of deadly sins

Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death

Mutated aggressor now commands
Post-nuclear landscape ruled with iron hand
Deformed tomorrows, nightmares all come true
Stay out of sight or their next victims will be you

Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death

Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death
Their word is law, their law is death


3. DEATHSTRIKE COMMAND

The spark ignites the powderkeg, the deadly die is cast
Plunged headlong into a war, a war that will surely be the last
Command to bring the hammer down, a fatal blow to fall
Warheads aimed and now deployed, spelling death to us all

Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command

Explosive force, atomic might, careening toward the end
Riots break out and panic strikes, as the missiles begin to descend
Nowhere to flee, no way to run, nothing can stop your death
Survival is a fleeting dream, extinction - the only path that's left

Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command

War - the final war has come
Today - will be the last day of
Mankind - fulfilled it's destiny of death
Death - the only way this day will end

Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command
Deathstrike command


4. RUN WITH THE PACK

Run with wolves to keep one step ahead
If you run with us beware of where you tread
Ripping through the weak and faint of heart
For us the kill is only just the start
Apologies not given, so don't ask
Nothing to hide, don't need your mask
Energy exchanged with savage grace
Aggression, spewing venom in your face

Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack

Alive under the moon, we walk alone
Cold night air to chill your blood and bones
Nocturnal hunger stalking evermore
We live in shadows darkening your door
Hair on end, catching fearful scent
Under cover of dark we run hell-bent
Prey and predator, closest kith and kin
Teeth gleaming in the night betray a grin

Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack

Jumping at shadows that we cast
A kill, a fuck, a piss, a drink, a laugh
The hunt for us is all in a night's work
So come into the shadows, where we lurk
To walk the night our calling by birthright
So take it as you will, the bark with the bite
Nothing left to do but try your luck
Because you know that we don't really give a fuck

Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack
Run with the pack


5. CALL TO COMBAT

Beachhead reached in broken silence
Do or die is here
Rifle clutched in white knuckle grip
Choking back the fear
Bodies falling one by one
Upon the deadly march
Sky lit up with mortar fire
To death our only course

The call to combat - plunged into a firestorm
A tempest with no eye
The call to combat - knee deep in bodies
Baptized by cannon fire
The call to combat - the will to fight is shattered
No choice but to march on
The call to combat - a deadly game of life and death
Where meet our fate as pawns

Casings fall amongst the dead
Marking killing trail
We meet our fates on roads well tread
Slaughtered to what avail?
Soldiers calling two by two
Voices lost in battle's din
The earth split open, stained with blood
A coffin to crawl within

The call to combat - plunged into a firestorm
A tempest with no eye
The call to combat - knee deep in bodies
Baptized by cannon fire
The call to combat - the will to fight is shattered
No choice but to march on
The call to combat - a deadly game of life and death
Where meet our fate as pawns


6. EYE OF THE STORM

(Instrumental)


7. EARTHSCORCHER

Artillery pounding, thunderous death knell
Casualties mounting, earth turned to hell
Blazing inferno, munitions explode
Utter destruction, massive payload

The blasts from the bombing, the bodies in piles
Massive devastation, in all directions for miles

Earthscorcher
Burning down the land
Earthscorcher
Soil turns into sand
Earthscorcher
No escape, it's time to die
Earthscorcher
Kiss your ass goodbye

Stench of napalm, burning through skin
Corpses aflame, the wages of sin
Toxic warfare, killer instinct consumes
Barren landscape, homes turned to tombs

The blasts from the bombing, the bodies in piles
Massive devastation, in all directions for miles

Enemies dead now, and so is everything else
Death without sense, a man made kind of hell
The battle is over, but the war will never end
The missiles keep launching, no one left to attack or defend

The blasts from the bombing, the bodies in piles
Massive devastation, in all directions for miles

Earthscorcher
Burning down the land
Earthscorcher
Soil turns into sand
Earthscorcher
No escape, it's time to die
Earthscorcher
Kiss your ass goodbye


8. SCREAMS FROM THE HOLOCAUST

Hellish deathstrike, flash of blinding light, destroyed all in sight
No time for fear, death becomes clear, destroying the sphere
Cities vaporized, life neutralized, apocalypse realized
The future died that day, nothing more to say, humanity fades away

Screams from the holocaust - still ringing in your mind
Nightmares relive the terror that you cannot leave behind
Screams from the holocaust - still echoing inside
Live forever with the horror that will haunt you 'til you die

Somehow you survived, to watch the world as it died, no reason to be alive
Everything crushed, skies of radioactive dust, watch the world rust
Walk the land alone, ruins of your home, pick through the bones
None left to blame, this nuclear game, proved utterly insane

Screams from the holocaust - still ringing in your mind
Nightmares relive the terror that you cannot leave behind
Screams from the holocaust - still echoing inside
Live forever with the horror that will haunt you 'til you die


9. SCOURGING

Sifting through the wreckage - the empire of those killed
Sword of Damocles now fallen - brought down by totalitarian wills
Nuclear strike
Atomic might
Came crushing down
To split the ground

Crawling from the carnage - twisted, chaos breed
As it once was it shall be again - arise, archaic creed
Mankind has fell
Earth now a hell
Unspeakable things
Forgotten grotesque beings

The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane
The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane

From places deep within the earth - the elder ones emerge
A shattered world their new dominion - abhorrent demiurge
Tendrils unwind
Within human minds
Scions of decay
Become their slaves

The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane
The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane

Enclave of the repugnant - the reign of shadowy nightmares
Crawling up to rule once more - now all the earth is theirs
Sanity is lost
A new holocaust
This world descends
Into darkness without end

The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane
The scourging
What for aeons slumbered is now awake
The scourging
A world that will nevermore be sane
