.​.​.​And With This Hammer Of Vengeance

by Sworn Vengeance

/
1.
Death arise Make flesh and blood the prize Hunt them down and take their very lives Hear the wolves and know that Hell has come Demon eyes, blacker than the grave Hear the cries Mercy has no home The gods command that all will fall this day Hear the wolves and know that Hell has come Demon eyes, blacker than the grave Ruthless Hell has come as all are burned alive Savage Hear the horn and know it's time to die Split open and bled out, corrupted Spine cracked with the ribs splayed Twisted idol of blood, bone and vengeance A final memory of this day Blood eagle's flight
2.
Take hold of sword and let your vengeance reign Rise as the fifth trumpet sounds Open the gates and witness Hell be released Eternal darkness unbound Destroyer Bringer of death A blackened world awash in fire and ash Lord of the 7th and the crusher of worlds Advisor, bringer of rain Armies of angels all have fell to his blade Eternal winter remains Destroyer Bringer of death A blackened world awash in fire and ash Destroy
3.
Reflections of death Darkness comes, rising Calling out the old god’s name Our souls burn till black Awash in sin, rotting Rats and serpents, lifeless hearts Welcome this human condition Helpless, we’re trapped in submission Facing our hopeless position Foretold, our end has been written We all pay the price Scars run deep in skin Hell comes raining down We are left to ash Our souls are festered and blistered We have become our own killers Corpses, our bodies will wither Judgment has now been delivered Salvation has come too late A welcome grave for all this hate We’re the disease

Eucharist 02:41
Slave to myth and servant to fear Built on the falsehood of faith Serving the will and becoming the sheep While led to death’s gates Blood on the altar is your sacrifice That makes you so helpless and meek You veil contrition with glorification Redemption has made you weak Fire Feel your flesh start to burn Broken, battered, tormented and torn Suffering and screaming, begging to die Hopeless, find your salvation denied On bended knee this unholy communion Praising the land of the dead The worship of one on the corpses of millions That choked on their hope as they bled No savior to help you Your prayers go unanswered The righteous abandoned to die Redeemer/Deceiver they’re one in the same On his throne in his kingdom of lies Left to die, alone and forsaken Where is your God now?
5.
No matter how hard I fight the burden is too much to bear Defeated, incomplete and trapped in this nightmare For years I struggled trying to find my place in life Surrounded by the violence, hate, despair and strife The stench of death envelops me With graves as far as I can see No blood just pain is all that’s coursing through these veins Staring through my hollow soul with just myself to blame Placed in submission, lacking strength to set me free With heavy debt only repaid in agony This hell grows stronger every day I feel myself slipping away Accept the end and rest in peace, finally done As I look back I know I’ll never miss the sun
6.
Tribute 01:33
The future’s empty there’s no going back The reaper’s wings have blackened this world Witness the end of humanity’s reign Witness the end as get dragged down to Hell A righteous immolation As the sky burns red The ghosts of saints declare war Pay tribute with the dead Hollow your eyes to hide from the truth Rip out your nerves to avoid all the pain Carve out your tongue to silence the cries And be a rotting corpse begging mercy An empty vessel without a soul Destitute with no horizon in sight Eternity in darkness wandering dead Trapped in a rotting shell with life stripped away A righteous immolation As the sky burns red The ghosts of saints declare war Pay tribute with the dead
7.
Bury me closer to the flames of Hell War Famine Pestilence Eaters of sin The blood will anoint while the body decays As skies rain death The beast will crush the light 1000 years of darkness rules the earth Rotted corpses, golden halls Crucified and the corrupt Bear witness to the end of days Indignant and blasphemous monuments Holy and pious bow down in defeat The armies of darkness rise deep from the pit As Heaven bleeds Wrapped in the arms of our Armageddon The seals break and humanity dies Nothing left to protect God’s creation Reign of the dragon, the emperor of lies Nations burn in effigies All are slaughtered in His wake Souls devoured by the hunger of the damned Gleaming thrones of angel’s bones Heaven’s legions crushed to dust Revelation’s time is now
8.
DMH 02:29
I’ve seen your death a thousand times The screams of pain and agony There is no replacement for what I have lost You’ve left me with an empty pit A blackness I can never shake This living death, a shadow of my own soul Every day you breathe Is another day in Hell for me All this hate and malevolence This violence coursing through my veins Satisfaction is taken from your own blood I’ll be the thought that makes you sweat I’ll be the shadow you avoid So run hard and run fast and never sleep again Because the day you stop to rest Is the day you take your final breath I don’t want justice I don’t want punishment I just want you dead The silence screams for blood The silence screams for rage You’re left with nothing Now I watch you fall
9.
Abbadon 03:50
Contamination of your pathetic race I will bide my time and poison one by one Until I have my army of darkness to storm the gates Burn your Heaven down, slay your fucking God And take my rightful place as the master of this world Armageddon’s rise The days of oblivion are here, releasing all this pain Infecting the masses with disease Apocalypse has come The death of your paradise grows close Embrace your fate, accept the path that you chose Unleash the gods of war I’ll never serve in Heaven, I’d rather reign in Hell My vengeance sworn upon my name The slaughter of your precious Earth The conquest of humanity Your kingdom crushed, your kingdom burned What you hold dear is what I shall destroy You dare to make me suffer for my pride? I’ve embraced the blackness in my heart Your punishment has made me devoted to this hate I’ll devour your soul You’ll end up just like me Deprived of all your life, stripped of your humanity Unleash the gods of war
10.
Mastema 02:41
I’ve witnessed all the countless horrors of this world Acts of malevolence and hate A species born with blackness deep within their bones A hell on earth your only fate Coursing venom Heartless Left to suffer Now you fall Cast into judgment on the bounty of your sins Broken scales, weighted flesh Awash in all the evil of the sons of men Your vicious souls will pray for death Coursing venom Heartless Left to suffer Now you fall
