In a stormy night 
He fell from the sky 
More than just a man 
But maybe also not divine 

Long hair in the wind 
Skulls and tattoos 
Forearms filled with spikes 
He lives to win though born to lose 

Defiant raging power 
Impossible to tame 
He knows no remorse 
No regrets and no shame 

He just cares about the vinyls 
that fill up his shelves 
And if you think he's rude and vicious 
You can actually just go fuck yourselves 

Lo and behold 
The Hellthrasher 

20th century demigod 
A planet gone bleaker 
Deity of thunder 
That booms from an electric speaker 

Archetype 
Rebellious and strong 
Enemy born against 
A western world gone wrong 

Hedonist and wild 
He follows no law but his own 
Playing on eleven 
He's Metal to the bone 

When the night comes down 
To raise Hell he arrives 
WHen Metal starts to pound 
Repent for your lives 

Hellthrasher 

Lo and behold 
The Hellthrasher

An echo from the past 
Whispering, it calls 
From ancient depths it comes 
The dark plutonian halls 

Once the roving beasts 
Struck terror in the night 
Foaming at the mouth 
With red eyes shining bright 

Mind your words 
Beware! 
Let sleeping dogs lie 

In the night of times 
Old relics lie buried 
Under sand and dust 

Derelict, passed on 
Metal dark and stained 
By decay and rust 

Dark fade, grim shade 
Black earth we tread 
Under the glade 

Cracked mirror hidden deep 
Beautiful the beasts 
When they are asleep 

Let us bless 
The sleep of beasts 
Dreamless 
May they rest in peace 

Your gaze settled 
On the frost 
And you longed 
For what was lost 

Let the buried rest 
And hope it's for the best 
Chance that bloomed before 
Quoth the raven, nevermore 

In the night 
Beware 
Let sleeping dogs lie 

In the night of times 
Old relics lie buried 
Under sand and dust 

Derelict, passed on 
Metal dark and stained 
By decay and rust 

Dark fade, grim shade 
Black earth we tread 
Under the glade 

Cracked mirror hidden deep 
Beautiful the beasts 
When they are asleep 

Legacy of terror

Hear the screams of terror as the bombs fall all around 
Soldiers panic, shooting every ammunition round 
Explosions mixed with screams are most terrible a sound 
Brothers fall forever and their blood spills on the ground 

Death at war 
Brother killing brother 
Maddening war 
Die by superior command 
Blood and gore 
Man destroying man 
Massive roar 
Meeting their untimely end 

Defy your death 
Your blood is spilled 
Psychotic path 
You order children to be killed 

All crimes are allowed in the scenario of war 
Such will be forever as it's always been before 

In the heart 
Of the dark 
Living green hell 
Where many fell 

Leaves are tinged with blood, gunpowder's smell so strong 
Keep on killing, never wondering what is right or wrong 
Some were dying wounded, left behind for dead 
A state easily solved with a machete to their head 

Death at war 
Brother killing brother 
Maddening war 
Die by superior command 
Blood and gore 
Man destroying man 
Massive roar 
Meeting their untimely end 

To defy death 
Is it a sin 
A desperate game 
In the end you never win 

All crimes are allowed in the scenario of war 
But you could never be prepared for what you had in store 

Death at war 
Jungle war

I fell prey to possession 
The day that followed a Metal mass 
The demon that lurks in liquid form 
Unannounced appeared, to possess 

At the den of no compromise 
I could have been a bit more wise 
After farewells and goodbyes 
I couldn't board that fucking metal thing that flies 
what's it called 

Looking in my eyes 
Evil in disguise 

Along the road, I might have guessed 
My brain subdued, I felt possessed 
In order to free me from the beast 
Perhaps we should be driving to an exorcist 

Yeah... call for the exorcist! 

Stricken with convulsions and speaking in tongues 
But I couldn't blame Christianity (for once) 
The classics far better suit my taste 
And the spirit of Bacchus was mocking me 

On the ground at Zaventem 
There I found I couldn't give a damn 
Life's a passage through an earthly plane 
And earthly I was bound to remain 

So I have come to decide 
To turn my care towards the lofty sky 
Do not let it bite your pride 
When others pronounce you not fit to fly!

I know as I walk through this Hell 
That sanctity is a sham 
That the moment we are born 
is the moment we are damned 
in this valley of death 

Evil lurks on Gehenna 
Ubiquitous 
Love means pain on Gehenna 
Pain for us 
No justice on Gehenna 
Anywhere 
Suffering on Gehenna 
Take your share 

When we see the light we expect that we'll live 
A rich and fruitful life 
But this is but a fleeting passage through Hell 
Where we deal with loss and strife 

Enjoy while you can the good things that you have 
Everything passes away 
All will be gone tomorrow 
Or maybe even gone today 

Open your eyes on Gehenna 
Enjoy the tour 
Don't care much on Gehenna 
Only death is sure 
Life's a bitch on Gehenna 
But live somehow 
The we die on Gehenna 
Where to now? 

When the burden of affliction weighs 
Remember all will be lost 
Everything you try to grasp 
Will eventually charge the cost 
Look at the sky change forever 
Relentless, day follows night 
Such is the shift in your life 
Between the ends of black and white 

Hell is real on Earth 

What you take from this life can't be kept in a vault 
And very soon you will be gone 
Learn what to attach to and what to detach from 
For dusk follows the dawn 

Endure life on Gehenna 
Maybe learn 
Will you be wise on Gehenna 
Dismiss concern 
To live and die on Gehenna 
An episode 
No blessing on Gehenna 
But a curse bestowed

Lethal Manhunt 

Blue lights flashing 
I'm hunted by the law 
I feel my veins bulging 
In my hands a bloody saw 

They draw nearer 
Black dogs bark 
Perpetrator 
I've left my mark 

Tonight 
I kill 
Tonight 
I die 

The lethal manhunt goes on 

I'm still hiding 
And ready to kill again 
The law enforcers 
Are still searching for their man 

Some will fall 
Under my blade 
To meet the Reaper 
Through rivers of blood I wade 

The lethal manhunt goes on 
Tonight, to die 
The killer soon to be gone 
Taken dead, not alive 

Forever his memory condemned 

They draw nearer 
Black dogs bark 
Perpetrator 
I've left my mark 

At last I now have lost my grip on sanity 
Their bullets will release me 
And in death I'll be set free

Rituals from the dawn of time are whispered to my ears 
Disembodied voices speaking of my hopes and fears 
Wise old men, palaeolithic knowledge they impart 
On to a quest to worlds beyond I know I must depart 
I must now depart 

I swallow the food of the gods and go beyond the gates 
And leave behind concrete reality that dissipates 
A landscape that cannot be seen appears before my eyes 
And there's no end to all the things that I now realise 

Hallucinations may be just naked reality 
Through the leaves I behold the light of eternity 

Shackles of the mind 
Now I leave behind 
Scenes unparalleled 
Vistas unbeheld 

Avoiding traps that might cast me into insanity 
The truth is that never before I had seen with clarity 
Back in the world where always I have felt rather estranged 
I'll find some peace in knowing how I am forever changed

Extreme Barbarity 

Savage rituals held under the light of the full moon 
Bloody sacrifices before black stones roughly hewn 
Boneclad sorcerers howling imprecations dire 
Skulls on wooden posts standing all around the fire 

Evil eyes - masks of wrath 
Obscene cries 

Muscled limbs dragging victims to the sacrifice 
Dreadful pleads for mercy met by cold unflinching eyes 
Nameless gods of death and war invoked in the night 
By hoarse and booming voices overpowering screams of fright 

Horrid fate in the dark - a cold shining blade 
Thundering drums - time to die - crushed by fear and hate 
Forest filled with the noise of vile revelry 
Fire and blades - bloodshed - extreme barbarity 

Eaten still alive, flesh consumed by tribal men 
Hecatomb where victims meet their tragic gruesome end 
Human skin used as garment by the evil priests 
Flayed cadavers are now trophies for these human beasts 

Evil priests 
Morbid fate 
Fatal terror 
Evil

Altar of the Skull 
-- 

In a landscape in a place unknown to us all 
Beyond doorways to the void, unconscious travel 
I plummet like a shooting star, wakened as I fall 
And plunge into the heart of a riddle to unravel 

Psychologic struggle, psychopathic war 
Night without end, a fear that I must face 
Trepanator chisel into my skull I bore 
Searching what awaits me, release or disgrace 

On the altar of the skull burns the fire of sacrifice 
Power of my will as the gods roll the dice 

If every man's indeed a star let me burn the night away 
Kindled by the fury of a just man led astray 
Degenerate, now an incubus, tempted by a snake 
Once dormant now awake, untethered to the stake 

Psychologic surge, I retaliate 
Dark might I wield, a fire burns strong 
State of true aggression beyond love and hate 
Doubtful what is right, subjective what is wrong 

On the altar of the skull I'm sacrificed unto my mind 
I'll leave myself behind and follow on, no longer blind 

Energy that slithers up my spinal cord 
Had! Aiwass dictates as he holds Damocles' sword 
Opening the pages of the wrathful book of the Lord 

Cardinal points greeted clockwise, the circle is complete 
Summoning my inner powers, a task that's no mean feat 
Facing inner struggles and demons that I meet 

On the altar of the skull burns the fire of sacrifice 
Power of my will as the gods roll the dice 
On the altar of the skull I'm sacrificed unto my mind 
I'll leave myself behind and follow on, no longer blind
