Reborn To Darkness
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Kristian Hegelund Martinsen on Guitar)

The candle is burning out
My life is near the end
I will leave this earth
And enter the underworld
Years of suffering
Days of misery
God took everything
Now feel my rage upon you

Legions of thunder
Let the crusade begin
We are many
Born in sin
Come on in

Reborn to darkness
Reborn in the fire of evil
Still flesh and blood
But not human anymore
Reborn to darkness
Reborn in the shape of Lucifer
I return in black
Knock knock open up your door

Soon I am dying
Oh how I long for peace
But I will revenge
Return as Lucifer
Get ready for the storm
Of the century
Vengeance is beautiful
God you will die

Legions of thunder
Let the crusade begin
We are many
Born in sin
Come on in

Reborn to darkness
Reborn in the fire of evil
Still flesh and blood
But not human anymore
Reborn to darkness
Reborn in the shape of Lucifer
I return in black
Knock knock open up your door



Nightmare
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Gunnar Olsen on Drums)

I wanna wake but my eyes are closed
In the darkness comes a ghost
I wanna run but there’s no place to go
Isolated in a horrow show
When I’m asleep they torture me
Fills my soul with misery
Bloody madness in my mind
There is no open door to find

In the nightmare
There’s a house on the hill
In the nightmare
Another wolf to kill
In the nightmare
Blood stains on the wall
In the nightmare
When midnight comes
Lost souls will burn

Start to dream
And all hell breaks loose
This time I cannot choose
Coming for me he’s coming for you
In this world there is nothing we can do
In the kingdom of the damned
A nightmare I’ll never understand
Mr. Sandman please set me free
Moonlight is my enemy

In the nightmare
There’s a house on the hill
In the nightmare
Another wolf to kill
In the nightmare
Blood stains on the wall
In the nightmare
When midnight comes
Lost souls will burn

We burn

We claim the night and your soul
(And the nightmare)
There is no light only the cold
In the nightmare

In the nightmare
There’s a house on the hill
In the nightmare
Another wolf to kill
In the nightmare
Blood stains on the wall
In the nightmare
When midnight comes
Lost souls will burn



Still Alive
Lyrics by: Martin Steene & Music by: Kirk Backarach

This is for freedom
This is for those who care
I got my reason
No more in despair
We stand united
This is decided
The hand of fury
You’re all invited

I crawl out of this nightmare
Out of the shadows
I walk into the devil's lair
My life
My path
Is where faith grows

Cause I’m still alive
Feed the fire inside
I’m
I’m still alive
The fuel
The flame
Will ignite

This is the threshold
This is the quickening
No more rampage
In the battle ring
Fight for independence
For what you believe
The right to stand out
The glory to receive

I crawl out of this nightmare
Out of the shadows
I walk into the devil's lair
My life
My path
Is where faith grows

Cause I’m still alive
Feed the fire inside
I’m
I’m still alive
The fuel
The flame
Will ignite

Take now what I’ve learned from
All these years of agony
And bring it
Take now
What I’ve learned from all these years of agony
And bring it to you

Bring it here tonight

Back In The Pit
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Kristian "Iver" Iversen on Guitar)

I’m screaming
I’m dreaming
I am the cold wind in your face
I’m freak show
I am John Doe
You know my name is disgrace

Master of the twilight world
King of the kill
Rage from the black abyss
Up from the crypt
Now arise

I am the one
The long lost soul
Now I awake
The wolf inside of me
I am the one
The long lost soul
Trapped in the dark with only desperation
Once again I’m here
Back in the pit

I bring sadness
I bring madness
A lost soul that will never rest in peace
I’m the shadow
The black widow
Misery and death is my disease

Master of the twilight world
King of the kill
Rage from the black abyss
Up from the crypt
Now arise

I am the one
The long lost soul
Now I awake
The wolf inside of me
I am the one
The long lost soul
Trapped in the dark with only desperation
Once again I’m here
Back in the pit
I bring the sadness I bring the madness to you
I bring you down on your knees

I am the one
The long lost soul
Now I awake
The wolf inside of me
I am the one
The long lost soul
Trapped in the dark with only desperation

I am the one
Your darkest nightmare

The Underworld
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Ivan Grosmeyer on Vocals
Rune Stiassny on Keyboards)

Annihilation of the human race
A quest of rage
The fall of freedom
Conspiracy till the end of days
In the palace of doom
A child will be born

Among the wolves chaos will rise
Deep in the forest
Under the full moon
The son of destruction
King of the night
Gather the troops
For the final attack

The coming of hate and violence
No such thing as innocence
Slay all the guilty ones

Legions of the underworld
Obey the words carved in stone
Legions of the underworld
The chosen one will conquer the throne
Tyranny for eternity

Show your face behind the mask
Betrayers will die
No one will remain
True disciples of the underworld
Like predators
They hunt in the name of the dead

The coming of hate and violence
No such thing as innocence
Slay all the guilty ones

Legions of the underworld
Obey the words carved in stone
Legions of the underworld
The chosen one will conquer the throne

Crossroad
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Martin Slott on Guitar
Sofie Emilie Puggaard on Vocals
Rune Stiassny on Keyboards)

Had it all planned
We were meant to be
Slowly sinking in the sand
Unable to feel free
Misguided hearts
Lost in illusions together
Assigned from the gods
With blinded eyes
Love dies

Standing at the crossroad
I don’t know where to turn
Standing at the crossroad
I know my soul will forever burn
I’m the guilty one
Yes I know

Had to let it go
The rope around my neck
No one will ever know
How sanity turned sick
I left you behind
In the shadows of my mind
Now is up to you to find
Another door
That will bring you more

Standing at the crossroad
I don’t know where to turn
Standing at the crossroad
I know my soul will forever burn
I’m the guilty one
Yes I know

It’s alright to be afraid
It’s alright you’re feeling hate
When luck has turned you down
It’s okay to crash and burn
There’s no way we’ll ever learn
To understand the meaning of it all

Riding Through Hell
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. J.J. on Guitar)

Dragged through the mud
Hanged in the tree
Drowned in the flood
Stabbed in the knee
Kicked in the face
Burned in the night
Lost out in space
Still in the fight

Sent on a mission
On a journey through the dark
Travelling on my own
A savage in blood and bone

Cursed by the dead
Six feet below
The soil is bloody red
Where demons grow
Banished from the hill
In the underground
In for the kill
I am hell bound

Sent on a mission
On a journey through the dark
Travelling on my own
A savage in blood and bone

Riding through hell
One step closer to damnation
Riding through hell
Heading in the right direction
Riding through hell
Facing the flames of Armageddon
Riding through hell
Watch the burning sun go down

Left For Dead
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene

You left me here alone
I walk into the darkness
My heart was turned to stone
Dwelling in madness
You turned your back to me
Now there’s only dead voices
I was too blind to see
Show your ugly faces

For all those years of trust
There’s only one to blame
Memories will never rust
Feeding the flame

Left for dead
Six feet down in the dirt
Dust from the burning
Ashes to ashes
Left for dead

Empires are falling down
The castle is torn to debris
The king has lost his crown
There’s nothing left of me
Drowning in emptiness
I walk the path of fire
My name is empty space
As the flames go higher

For all those years of trust
There’s only one to blame
Memories will never rust
Feeding the flame
(I’m glowing red)

Left for dead
Six feet down in the dirt
Dust from the burning
Ashes to ashes
Left for dead

You brought me down into the flames of hell

The Graveyard
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Jakob Lykkebo on Bass)

I am an unbeliever
I follow the winds of fire
Don’t try to change my ways
Cause my home is in hell
There’s no guardian angel
Watching over me
Guided by the will
And the dream of revolution

Some day the raven will appear
Nothing to change
Nothing to fear
We all walk through the

Gates of the graveyard
It’s where I lay my soul to rest
Gates of the graveyard
I am the uninvited guest
Gates of the graveyard
My private paradise
Gates of the graveyard
Into the dark
And into the grave

I was born a thunder child
Wild blood is in my veins
Get ready to face the demon
That lives inside my soul
When I grow old
I will have no regrets
Cause I’m unbreakable
Almost invincible

Some day the raven will appear
Nothing to change
Nothing to fear
We all walk through the

Gates of the graveyard
It’s where I lay my soul to rest
Gates of the graveyard
I am the uninvited guest
Gates of the graveyard
My private paradise
Gates of the graveyard
Into the dark
And into the grave

My Awakening
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene

I can’t find home
I don’t know my name
I don’t know the number
Where do I go
When nothing seems to make sense at all
Close to break down
Tell me what is going on
I lost my crown
Give me a reason for a new dawn

What is the mission for me now
Tell me master tell me how
Is this the final call
In the dust I crawl
Approaching mechanical break down

My awakening
Turn on the light
And bring me back again
The voices from within
Can this be right
My satellite or my awakening
(My awakening)

I don’t recall my past
The memories have disappeared
Where or what I was
The place where I belong is lost
A race from deep within
I need to find the answer
A place of deadly sin
In this hell I fight the cancer

What is the mission for me now
Tell me master tell me how
Is this the final call
In the dust I crawl
Approaching mechanical break down

My awakening
Turn on the light
And bring me back again
The voices from within
Can this be right
My satellite or my awakening

Drowning In Blood
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Morten Plenge on Drums)

World empires are burning down
Is this the end of the beginning
Hatred chaos and aggression
The choice is yours live or die

Planet hate
Planet pain
Planet death
So many lies
So many die, die on planet death
Cause we’re drowning in blood
No one cares anymore
Drowning in blood
Fighting another holy war

Cause we’re
Drowning in blood
The world is not like before
Drowning in blood
Chaos and hatred forever more
Cause we’re drowning in blood

The abyss is waiting for you and me
In the grave we’ll be free
From suffering and suicide
Where are you God
Lord of lies

Planet hate
Planet pain
Planet death
So many lies
So many die, die on planet death
Cause we’re drowning in blood
No one cares anymore
Drowning in blood
Fighting another holy war

Cause we’re
Drowning in blood
The world is not like before
Drowning in blood
Chaos and hatred forever more
Cause we’re drowning in blood

Religious warfare everyday
Be prepared for the gathering
Bullets fly
And soon you’ll die
Don’t you understand God is dead

Phantom Symphony
Lyrics & Music by: Martin Steene
(Feat. Gunnar Olsen on Drums
Rune Stiassny on Keyboards)

Creeping and crawling up from behind
When you turn there’s nothing to find
Feels like something
Breathe down your neck
It’s scary and it makes me sick
A creature coming from down below
So deep where no one dares to go
Step higher on the food chain
Welcome to the house of pain

Coming with speed out of the night
Sent to bring you hell
Who will be next no one can tell

The creeper is here
To spread fear
Beating you down in the dust
The creeper is back to attack
Hundreds of bodies been crushed
It’s feeding time
And you’re the chosen victim
In the phantom symphony

Soon you’ll be under the blade
Your life will slowly fade
Collecting bones and human skin
Now let the blood bath begin
All alone in the killing road
Break your hope
And slice your throat
Get ready for another shock
Out of the dark comes a truck

Coming with speed out of the night
Sent to bring you hell
Who will be next no one can tell

The creeper is here
To spread fear
Beating you down in the dust
The creeper is back to attack
Hundreds of bodies been crushed
It’s feeding time
And you’re the chosen victim
In the phantom symphony

Up from the abyss
You get the devils kiss
A love story for the maniacs
Coming from the deep
Where evil never sleeps
666
Raise the funeral flag

Rise up from hell

Are you ready for the end my friend
Are you ready for the final embrace
You are the chosen one
Descending to the lowest level
Pain is coming today
Chain you in the darkest chamber
Destination heaven or hell
This train is only going down

Symphony of the damned I am

The creeper is here
To spread fear
Beating you down in the dust
The creeper is back to attack
(Coming for you)
