1. Slaughter At Beast House

You'll be slaughtered by the beast Deep inside the shadows lies the cellar Where the beast emerges Filth of legend pale and foul You'll satisfy it's hellish urges You'll be slaughtered by the beast Years long ago when the creature arrived The slaughter was brutal, just one left alive A new breed of victims moved into this hell Murders of innocents quickly befell Again there was one left alive like before She soon was turned into the beast's willing whore A slave to it's hideous mutated sex She'd kill for this unholy cannibal wretch [Lead - EC] Bearing it's voracious young This nightmarish spawning begun Tales of torture and screams Bring unknowing blood offerings

See the midnight tour Depicting scenes of carnage from the past The myths are real, you're next to die Your first visit will be your last [Lead - DC] You'll be slaughtered by the beast

2. Mangled Far Below

The ancient civilizations In their temples filled with dread Were linked together with their gods By rivers flowing red Prosperity and power Gained from bodies without heads In sacrifice the balance lies The chosen stricken down The gods' insatiable lust for death Had limits never found Harmony can only exist With corpses on the ground Humans squander greatness The ways of wisdom gone A cancerous shadow looming I must bring back the dawn Selected for this, I am This world screams inside The lambs await my coming I see inside their minds One by one the open minds Are standing by my side Taken from the hand of darkness For sanity they've cried Cast aside your past life You have joined the enlightened pride

[Lead - DC] The ancient blood will spill again Our numbers only grow Our temples raised, our hearts are pure The power in us flows I'll lead my people to the sun The time has come to go The vultures will feed and I will look down On the mangled far below

3. She Is A Funeral
Bone pale, dead moon Enraptured by the sweet scent of the grave She walks amongst the carven stones Seeing black, I found the morbid way [Chorus] I heard her call Her funeral moans I was transfixed She took my soul Dread night, crypt trip Following the shadows in my mind Lifeless clouded dead eyes gaze Dressed in filthy white, I saw her face [Chorus] Death entwined with beauty She drained my bleeding soul I saw the casket open She is a funeral [Lead - DC] Grey mist, death kiss In the ground six feet of darkness sighed Drifting down, I heard her laugh As the maggots squirmed between her thighs

[Chorus]

4. Coffin Crawlers
On the other side of the shattered mirror My world is dark From the corner of my blood red eye Repulsive shadows breed Grave mist swirls and black clouds harbor daggers In this hallucinatory wasteland I hear them crawl [Chorus] Spawned from the pits of a sickening world Coffin crawlers, coffin crawlers Breath of the stench of the blackest soil Coffin crawlers, coffin crawlers Worm like faces and filth encrusted hands Headstone hiders, casket riders Eyes like vomit stained clouded glass Coffin crawlers, coffin crawlers They open up wounds on the cast away dead Leaning down with claws imbedded Inhaling pure death from dessicated heads Grotesquely twisted limbs And wretched minds contort Lifeless eyeballs are removed With the dead unbeating heart [Chorus] They're crawling Only I can see them They want to eat my eyes But I'll take them out myself Their feast will be denied [Lead - DC]

5. When Hammer Meets Bone

Come into our house Within the darkness we are here Everyone who wanders in is sure to disappear The door behind you shuts and locks You smell the stench of death That's when the hammer crashes down And annihilates your head Your ruined face It leaves a trail of crimson on the floor As your body's dragged into a room With blood it is adorned The freezer's full of butchered parts Of others just like you The rats can eat the scraps that drop And then we'll eat them too We've been here for many years Inbreeding in the filth Through ages upon ages Of devouring our kills A naked blood stained light bulb Shows the mating on display Gurgling sounds emit From twisted worm like writhing shapes Here we are in wait for you Deformed and caked in gore This hammer made of lead and concrete Ever hungers more [Leads - DC, EC] When the hammer meets the bone Your screams have gone unheard When pools of blood are red and deep Survival is absurd There is no sanctuary There is no mercy shown Blunt force smashing is the law

Your skull and mind are blown

6. Thorns And Ashes

I am the thorns That puncture your skin I am the storm Where your sanity's been I am the flames That devour your bones I am the ashes Where shadows have grown

7. Arch Cadaver
The arch cadaver turns around Maggots falling from his eyes Surveying pummeled smoldering fields The living turned to clay they've met their day [Chorus] No battles fought Just a wave of his hand Death rays and smoke trails Wash over the land Born created conjured spun In webs of foul deeds undone Footsteps crush and shock the ground His fingers point to where you're bound [Chorus] [Leads - DC, EC, DC, EC] His head tilts back, his throat agape Look inside and see your fate Bleeding stars and moons rotate In ways that make the strong insane [Chorus]

Lidless eyes, orbs of black Doorways to wrath All become one Heaped in great piles of ash [Death Rays - DC]

8. Flesh Turns To Dust

Time has taken your living flesh Stolen your last gasping struggling breath Lungs in upheaval, brain in a tomb Becoming sand in a world of gloom No teeth in it's skull, yet you're eaten away Your epitaph clearer while tissues decay [Chorus] Your flesh, it turns to dust The dice of bones are carved and cast There's pain to bring and time to kill There's cemetery holes to fill [Leads - EC] Despite your will, you can't command The reaper's all ensnaring hand [Chorus]

9. Running From The Goathead

Lying on the floor I realize my fate I've become victim, I've become hate How did this horrible night come to be Piece by piece it comes after me It catches up and grabs my throat All I see is the head of a goat It's sharpened fingers slice my face

The catch is better than the chase [Chorus] It comes after me Running from the goathead Blood in my eyes, I cannot see Black heart chaser Terror races through my mind Running from the goathead I run with it behind... me Hallways that are long and dark Scratching walls, looking for a door The burns and cuts have left their mark I see others have come before What kind of fate did they meet This evil place cries for more With brutal weapons all are beat To live I must come to the fore [Chorus] Running from the goathead Running from the goathead Running from the goathead [Leads - EC, DC] [Chorus] [Eye Bleeding - EC]
