Incantation 01:42
Round about the cauldron go: In the poisoned entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweated venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and owlet's wing. For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf, Witch's mummy, maw and gulf Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark, Root of hemlock digg'd i’ the dark, Liver of blaspheming Jew; Gall of goat; and slips of yew Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse; Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips; Finger of birth-strangled babe Ditch-deliver'd by a drab, Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger's chaudron, For the ingredients of our cauldron. Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good - The Witches, MacBeth, Act IV, Scene I, William Shakespeare

As eternal winter is carried in the wind The whole world is blind With only selfishness on their mind Only eternal doom will open their eyes We watch our history burn before our eyes Watching all that we loved forgotten and despised They are ignorant to what it has symbolised As the flames grow high we are mesmerised Sites and idols desecrated A destruction callously advocated As ancient trees fall and die A pain reaped by those so sly Mass extinction upon the horizon There will be no resurrection Once it is lost, it fades to myth Humanity is the true infection

Exiled she walks this path alone Left to rot because she did not atone She lives among the ancient stone There she sits upon the witch’s throne Her revenge shall be wrought The curse has been cast The lies you spread cannot be untold You will die for your iconoclast Her revenge shall be wrought The curse has been cast The truth shall be revealed In the darkness of her exile A survivor of countless sadistic abuses She rises out of the shadows With eternal wisdom only she knows Countess of Thorns, a black rose grows

Exorcism 05:02
Long have our minds been plagued Free yourself from the suffering Open your mind, open your eyes It kills, it maims Endless gluttonous reign Faking poverty, endless riches Dining on our misfortune In the name of God The fight is brutal Ripping and tearing from the inside Clawing and spitting evil words In the darkness it prospers As shadows close in Hell is released from within Blind faith won’t save you Behold a broken cross Who really is your lord? The actions speak louder than the words Indulgence in forbidden fornication Innocence defiled Break the bread, drink the wine Feast on a holy spirit so divine As it spews from the virgin’s cunt The acidic vomit burns
5.
Words of an ancient evil Risen from the ground Ancient and primeval With the witches it’s spirit is bound A clouded mind under an evil spell Trapped and tortured in a mental cell Distorted screams and a primal yell A creature worshipped in this satanic bethel Of the witches no man can tell Cursed and bathed in blood Beaten and maimed with sardonic wrath Live not those who cross it’s path It’s putrid breath will melt their flesh With teeth that rip and tear Jaws that clamp and crush Into bodies where blood will gush Black pentagram burnt in the ground Decapitated goats head spewing blood Sacrifice the virgin, knife in their heart Sing the hymns of the back art
6.
Parasitic humans, Destroying our only home We are the cancer, In mother nature we grow She cries from the deep Toxic substance makes her weep Suffocation in caustic air Chemical overload, radiation glow Waste in the waves watch death flow She’s swimming for her life But there is nowhere left to go Below the waves The plastic ghosts haunt them Slow torture in the deep Watch as they weep Gaia cries with multiple pains As our cruelty and suffering reigns As Forrests fall With Flowers in the ashes This Creeping Death Is Final
7.
As we let our history fade The ghosts of our past linger on As we blur the lines between right and wrong Our funeral bells have been rung The legacy still stands In mortar and stone Their songs are still sung The haunting requiem Creatures of the night bare witness To the pale bleak emptiness That wanders between the graves Bloodstained land that we walk on Here they roam, forgotten and fading Deep eyes of endless pain Blood moon, death and doom As the cycle continues We fail to learn And everything starts to burn The questions receive jaded answers Witness those pagan dancers As they join the earth in cursing our existence We have past the point of no return
8.
All hope fails, we stare into the abyss Pitch black hole, with no escape Relentless torture of sensory deprivation Feeble screams falling on deaf ears With evil closing in around you Taking you do the depths of darkness No mercy, it’s heartless Killing is it’s catharsis This is the downfall of us As we enter into the abyss Corruption and disease The parasites we chose to lead The infection is rife and terminal The damage is irreversible No choice, no freedom Hammered, beaten and bleeding Kill or be killed Violence is all we’ve known Human brutality is prevailing Our Humanity is failing They will take our last rights Slave to a system then we die A plague so deeply entrenched Yet we have to repent
