iced earth - a charge to keep

I must believe that just a memory now
Was the only way to know
That all those you love
Are just ripped away

And now we find the one to lead us
To a brand new day
Has this I must be with a brood of truth
Got to lead the way

Chorus:
Please God give me
The strength to live
(It's my charge to Keep)
Keep the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to Keep)

And now we must wipe the tears away
Cover up are in the strength
Lost are those we can't replace
Who bring a louder faith

And all many lives I've seen him take
To bring justice on our way
We must never fault we must never fail
This is a charge to keep

Chorus:
Please God give me
The strength to live
(It's my charge to Keep)
Keep the sorrow
The fuel I need
(It's my charge to Keep)

iced earth - angel s holocaust

"Angels Holocaust"

As I walk through the blackened forest
Thoughts of hate and anger fill my soul
The charred remains of the holy rollers
Scream repentance though it's far too late

I fight back the laughter at what I see
The suffering healers false destined prophecy

He didn't think yesterday of the end of his life
The brainwashed fools born again of a thousand lies

Hate filled screams break the silence
Terrifying dreams filling up your head
Blasphemy thrusting out, in the masses it reigns
The mask of hypocrisy is slowly unveiled

Fear the angels holocaust, they're screaming
Dreams of pain forever entering your head
Death and hatred loathing, on mankind it feeds
Earth is dead and gone now, we've brought it to an end

For the last time I've been betrayed
Never again will I subject myself to this hypocrisy
Something is drawing me to the other side
Only time will tell my true destiny

iced earth - attila

He's ruled them for twenty years
And ravaged as their king
Conquest burns in his eyes
And ice shoots through his veins
Their leader's new ambitions lie
Further to the West
The Empire that he seeks
The Father to the Rest
Attila wants to take his place
Like the impetuous son
To make the entire world bow
To the kingdom of the huns

Alliance has been made
With many other clans
Frank and Vandal forces
Held within his hand
And by Attila's hand it's said
His brother met with death
To make his rule his legacy
He did his awful best
Ethele and Etzell
By many names he's known
But "Scourge of God" is the one
That rings the darkest tone

[CHORUS]
Hell awaits behind Gaul's gates
The Roman's stand only to fall
They will die by his sword
The barbarian lord
Attila hear's victory call

[BRIDGE]
[Huns]
Path of Fire and Plunder
Cities burn and crumble
Attila's fate beckons
He will come to conquer

[Romans]
Archers stand at ready
Centurions all together
Keep to your lines
And the Mongol's sure to falter

[Huns]
We will surely break them
We will overtake them
Fight till our deaths
On the Christians devastation

[Romans]
They won't overthrow us
God will stand before us
Show us the path to the huns destruction

Sing to the sky, the battle cry
To propogate their fears
As terror is the weapon drawn
When battle has drawn near
And so the conflict is at hand
The gauntlet has been thrown
Contempt for the Christian reign
The poison seed now sewn
And if by chance all is lost
Cut down by Roman steel
We'll suffer not as others have
Broken mind nor broken will

[REPEAT CHORUS]

iced earth - plea of insanity

Here I sit, judges stand
my fate is held in his hand
please hear my plea "Insanity"
I never meant to hurt no one
it wasn't me who did the deed
I wasn't in control

There she lay so innocent
Her blood upon my hands
the memory is like a blur
let me explain if I can

He wakes me up late at night
Drives me to the edge
He held my hand- gripped it tight
She just lay there without a fight

Hear my plea Insanity
Let me out, I'm innocent
Help me please, He's in here!
He's coming after me

He's wrapped it tight around my neck
Hanging by a noose
It's too late for me now
Look-out, he's on the loose

My eyes were closed, like a dream
Until I heard her scream
Oh My God, what have I done?
It was insanity - Not me

He plunged it deep
He held my hand and plunged it down
It wasn't me - It was insanity

iced earth - birth of the wicked

Daylight breaks hard on sacred ground
for centuries we've questioned them of His birth
but in this hour, on this day, The Elder knew
years of madness must now subdue
order must be enforced to hide the truth
cause on this day, in this hour it's coming true

Child of the wicked and ancient man
baptized in black magic, their master plan
born of the Watch, his prophecy, by their command

So, behold the birth, the wicked child
born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

It's up to us now to seal his fate
marked with the proper math the child's none to late
blessed by the Beast, our Chosen One was born this day
He'll rise from the ashes of our dying race
manipulate history, time and space
the Elder, Men of the Watch, professed this day

So, behold the birth, the wicked child
born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

Behold the birth, the wicked child
born of the Beast, in eastern sands
He will arise, He will divide
He has the power to bring the end

iced earth - black sabbath

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

iced earth - damien

?Mundi Universitas Flammescorri Mi Immigreavi"

So the beast resides in me
Deep down I always knew
I never really did fit in
So diverse from all of you
Let him who comprehends
Know the number of the beast
It's a number of a man
A number just for me

As the boy becomes a man
Father's minions pave the way
Set in motion now, Armageddon,
Final conflict, end of days

I embrace the hounds of hell
And the power they oblige
For the task that lies ahead
The Nazarene I'll crucify
They'll see the raptures of our kingdom
They'll see the truth to mankind
I'll show what hell truly is
The monotony of their lives

(Chorus)
When the Jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
The Holy Roman Empire rises
And you and I must die
From the eternal sea he rises
Creating armies on either shore
Turning man against his brother
Till man exists no more

(interlude)
Nazarene, what can you offer?
Since the hour you vomitted forth from the gaping womb of a woman
you have done nothing but drown men's soaring desires
in a delusion of sick sanctimonious immorality
I was conceived of a jackal
your pain on the cross was but a splinter,
compared to the agony of my father
I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass
you're a profaner of Isis
Cursed Nazarene, I will avenge thy torment

(Bridge)
Now Disciples of the Watch
See your Prince of Darkness rise
Through famine and destruction
The Four Horsemen at my side
I demand a victory, I demand a sacrifice
Or spend all eternity
In the flaccid gut of Christ!

iced earth - dante s inferno

Through the fiery caverns we sail
Virgil at my side my guide and master
Questing through the nine plains of hell
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Slowly now the days departing
The darkened air releases me
Frightening visions of my journey
Entrance me to limbo
I'm not free

Abandon all hope who enter here
Enter the gates, Charon awaits

Abandon all hope who enter here
For this is where all things are left behind
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair

The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need

Descention, thrusting to the second plain
Minos judges as his tail twines
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas

Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
Tears his talons through the air, all the sinners cry

Down, be still thy cursed wolf
The master scorns its name
Dive to the next plain
The sullen and the vain
Suffer for greed
The prodigal they bleed
For all eternity
Plutus holds the key

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)

Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Suffer the fifth plain
Cross the river Styx
Heed your crucifix
The mudded corpses cry
Howling to the sky
Reach the other side
Open wide the gate

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)
(Zahnah..zantus snah mey..zeenah hotoh..zahnta nahnay)

Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Cast their souls to stone
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power
Medusa's inner soul

We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
He impales their hearts with ease
And shrugs their piercing screams
Pity is they'll never die
They'll suffer here eternally

(Chanting - sounds like:)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)
(Zime come sate dive)

Lucifer....Natas....Mephisto....Natas....Naphime....Natas
Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end

In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
Praying all the while for a quick and painless death
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds

Lucifer... angel of light
Cast below god of ice
Ruling hell unholy trinity
The traitors freeze for all eternity
Lucifer... betrayer of God
Tormentor ruthless and cold
Judas' screaming here in agony
The traitors freeze for all eternity

iced earth - highway to hell

Living easy, lovin' free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell

iced earth - im ho tep

Time is the bond of mortal life
Isis with the scroll of life
Raised her love Osiris from the dead
Live can transcend the mortal coil
With this script, the high priest of
The Pharaoh commits his sacrilege

Death is but a threshold
To another life, you will arrive
With this power
You shall live again, there is no end
You'll live again...

Love was the curse upon my soul
For it I would risk salvation
And utilize the scroll to save this one
Time is the sentence for my sin
Three thousand years my angry soul's
Been trapped inside this tomb of my condemn.

Death is but a threshold
To another life, I will arrive
With this power
I shall live again, there is no end.
I'll live again

Dawn shines a light on pain untold
Scarred from the millennia
The heart that beats inside my chest is cold
Rise, I'm rising from these sands of time
By the scarab's power I am given strength
With hate in hand, this misery I drink

Death is but a threshold
To another life, I will arrive
And with this power
I shall live again, there is no end
This pain won't end

Myself I'll kill if I can't have you no one will

iced earth - wolf

Innocence tainted by pure lunacy
Cursed by the slash of a shape-shifting beast
Oh no, this can't be
Demonic infection, a doomed changeling

His future concealed as he begs to be told
A kiss from the gypsy, he'll never grow old
Oh no, this can't be
Demonic infection, a doomed changeling

(Chorus)
Even a man who's pure
And says his prayers by night
(He won't hear your prayers)
Man become a wolf
When the wolf bane blooms,
And the autumn moon is bright
(There's a full moon tonight)
Man may become a wolf.

He who is bitten by a wolf and lives
Possession soon follows, no use to resist
Oh no, this can't be
Cursed by the moonlight, a doomed changeling
The madness a turmoil that swells up inside
To truly find peace is to truly die
Oh no, this can't be
Cursed by the moonlight, a doomed changeling

Now comes the rampage, a killing spree
Hunting his loved ones comes instinctively
Oh no, it's maddening
A shape-shifting demon of pure lunacy
A shot from the darkness tears through its flesh
A bullet of silver lays it to rest

Oh no, it's maddening
An innocent victim finds his peace.

iced earth - jekyll amp hyde

What's the reason for me to be this way?
I'm lying on the floor
I've broken through some door
I don't know how I came to this
There is blood lust in my eyes
And someone in my mind saying

I have forced you here
I'm hiding, right here inside you
Trapped in here so long
You'll find me growing in every man

Who is this that speaks to me?
Tearing down my mind
My reality
This must certainly be the one
What will I pay for this?
This evil synthesis!

I'm out of control
Evil takes my soul

I can feel you inside me
You're not stronger than me
I won't let you
No, you can't have me!

I won't let you destroy me
You took away my life
With your wicked seed
If you're able to take control
You'll bring damnation upon my soul

iced earth - a gift or a curse

I feel a heavy burden
A million souls upon me weigh
Though I've felt uncertain
The more revealed, I've found my way
Am I a gift, am I a curse?
I'm one and all of God and Earth

And as the order guides me
The trials beckon brutal days
The Art of the Travelers
The Ghost Dance and the Shifter's Way
Am I a gift, am I a curse?
I'm one and all of God and Earth

At times there's no doubt within me
To ask as much of one so young
Yet I believe in the prophecy
And the framing that's been done

And I know I possess the strength
They've molded me from birth
The catalyst of all that's planned
Cleansing man from earth
Infect the venom into my veins
Of the vile beasts of earth
The transformation now takes place
The Shifter's art is learned
The Dimension Gauntlet lies ahead
I master every age
I am a God that walks the Earth
The embodiment of rage

Now the trials are over
I am complete, what I was born to be
The crown awaits the chosen
And I begin my destiny
I am a gift, I am a curse
One and all a God on Earth
