The Middle Ages (adjectival form: medieval, mediaeval or mediæval) is a period of European history encompassing the 5th to the 15th centuries. It is normally marked from the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, accepted as the end of Classical Antiquity, until the beginning of the Renaissance and Age of Discovery, which ushered in the Modern Era. It is thus the middle period of the traditional division of Western history into Classical, Medieval, and Modern. The Middle Ages is often split into two or three sub-divisions.
In the Early Middle Ages, depopulation, deurbanization, and barbarian invasion, all of which had begun in Late Antiquity, continued apace. The barbarian invaders formed their own new kingdoms in the remains of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century North Africa and the Middle East, once part of the eastern empire, became an Islamic Empire after conquest by Muhammad's successors. Although there were substantial changes in society and political structures, the break was not as extreme as once put forth by historians, with most of the new kingdoms incorporating as many of the existing Roman institutions as they could. Christianity expanded in western Europe and monasteries were founded. In the 7th and 8th centuries the Franks, under the Carolingian dynasty, established an empire covering much of western Europe; it lasted until the 9th century, when it succumbed to pressure from new invaders – the Vikings, Magyars, and Saracens.
When the moon turns to blood
The seas boil and rise
Man?s days grow few
And soon all will die
Seven is the number
The Holy Trinity
As the Seventh Seal is broken
So is tranquility
The words have been written
The course has been planned
The apocalyptic Scripture
Sentence of the damned
When the death book is opened
The seven trumpets sound
The Seventh Seal is broken
To Hell man is bound
The plagues will be many
As Death plays his game
A test of will and strength
A game that?s played in vain
For a fortunate few
The game is not in vain
To escape Death?s grasp
To live in other?s pain
At the close of the day
The game?s end is near
With Death?s wicked smile
Your fate is finally clear
The Dance of Death in silhoutte
On a hillside desolate
The figures move and sway
One touch of my burning hand
Eternal blazin? Hell on Earth
Vaporize everything that stands
Destroy everything of worth
Killing one or killing them all
The Choice is not yours to make
Paint the skies in flamin? lights
Decided by terror not fate
Roll of thunder, crack of light
Piercing cries and screams
Looking back on simpler days
Your reality is my dream
Longing for Death?s embrace
Only way out of this place
You?ll stay on this demon?s Earth
To feel the pain of ungodly births
No one will be spared
From the reign of terror
No one will be spared
From the reign of terror
One touch of my burning hand
Eternal blazin? Hell on Earth
Vaporize everything of worth
Try again in a thousand years
Purify this worthless place
Melt the hearts of a thousand tears
Torch the fesh of the wicked race
Hatred in its purest form
Will crush the souls of the weak
So stand and die at my hand
Place to bury bone
Time to crawl in hole
I lay and wait,
But by then it's too late.
Better off undisturbed.
I lie...
Shall I interfere,
or just leave things be,
or shall I dig a Furred Grave?
My achievements bring happiness,
your absence brings loneliness
It's hard not to hate what brings us apart.
I lie... I give and give,
but return unsatisfied,
Is the grass greener on the other side?
Without a choice
But to carry on, my never ending quest
For the best of both worlds.
Am I sick?
Should I fit in your little click?
Should I trade what makes me tick?
For a slap in the Face?
Am I sick?
Should I fit in your little click?
Should I trade what makes me tick?
A shuttering retired widow,
Overlooks....a land condemned.
Persecuted sun has fled
Eternal midnight banes,
Winter of discontent
Surrounded by haunted rows of brittle dead crops
Farmers perish.
A multitude of children and of women and of men,
an army of none.
The weak will not succeed!
Death Drums Beat.
Uncounted heap....led aimlessly,
Towards a slit in the side of a dune,
several fall....the way is paved,
with slabs of human flesh,
A flock recoils....
Helpless masses,
scattered like unborn larvae.
He pulls his terror throttle
A flood of muticoloured shame,
Fills his shallow pit,
Bonfire
Smouldering
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
The last sunspots of a surrogate dawn.
Famine Sector...
Famine Sector...
Famine Sector...
Famine Sector...
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
Expressionless, emotionless
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
As he analyzes his mummified treats
The last sunspots of a surrogate dawn.
Famine Sector...
Famine Sector...
Famine Sector...
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass,
Through my last bit of affection,
my sentimental values crushed,
I tried so hard,
but you tighten the noose,
there is no truth.
there is no truth.
there is no truth.
there is no truth.
I left myself at your disposal and what did you do?
what did you fucking do?
you slit the throat of the thing I once adored,
the thing I now despise.
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
Forgiven....
You called a truce,
I took no notice,
I can only feel that trouble lies ahead.
There is no truth,
There is no truth,
There is no truth,
There is no truth,
a vague uncertainty
Resist the temptation,
Revenge my main concern
Forgiven but not forgotten,
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
look what you fucking did!
I?ll rise from the ashes
Of World War III
Destroying all remaining creatures
That threaten me
Pray for the day when you?ll see
My severed head
World War IV won?t be over
Till I am dead
I sacrifice my life
To gain my strength
I?ll drink the blood from the grail of
Medieval Saints
Pray for the day when you?ll see
My severed head
World War IV is a battle of
Our living dead
Who shall fight
Who will fight me
Who shall fight
Loose cannons fire as they target shades of gray
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Loose cannons fire as they target shades of gray
Nevermind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Damage is far greater than you ever could imagine
Then when you pump your seed full of sewage
If you need someone to hate just look into a mirror
There you'll see who will be buried six feet down
Buried six feet down, You're dead and buried
Ignorance breeds ignorance, breeds hatred and decay
Morals and sympathies start to fade
Nevermind a mind that never looks to find the truth
Just hold your breath until you turn blue, and never exhale
I'll bide my time, for you to cross the line, cross the line, all it takes is time
Bide my time, for you to cross the line, cross the line and just trip the wire
You feel so justified in actions that you take, fabricating dishonest mistakes
You reap what you sow, the burden that you bear will be inhumane but fair,
It will be fair, it will be fair
Loose cannons fire, as they target shades of gray
Nevermind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Loose cannons fire, targeting shades of gray, loose cannons fire, targeting shades of gray
Nevermind a mind that never evolves from the medieval
Bone is thicker than stone, nothing could ever break your skull
Damage is undamaged
Blood and anger go hand in hand
Death and glory across the land
Fear and loathing, it seems to grow
Lust and hatred is all I know
Feel the danger, fear the stranger
You don?t know that man is me
You?re gonna die now can?t you see
I?m gonne take my hate out on you
I?m gonna push it right through you
Faith and vengeance are only words
Myths and stories are all I?ve heard
Lies and liars, the truth is gone
I?m sick and tired, I can?t go on
Sin and violence everywhere
Truth and judgements, no one cares
Rage and hunger I feel within
Hatred floods your veins,
lessening self worth,
hatred floods your veins,
lessening self worth,
chunks of demolished mind put to waste.
Visible Shallow Self.
Brainwashed into submission,
narrow minded condition,
horrid disorder
Visible Shallow Self.
Identity extracted,
Subdued defeated,
Defenseless profoundly,
devoted stare.
Identity extracted,
Subdued defeated,
Defenseless profoundly,

Falsify within yourself,
conscious decision,
Intentions surpassed,
Brainwashed into submission,
Narrow minded condition,
horrid disorder
Visible Shallow Self.
Identity extracted,
Subdued defeated,
Defenseless profoundly,
devoted stare.
Identity extracted,
Subdued defeated,
Defenseless profoundly,
Caught in the long grass, got separated from his company
Those men he thought were friends turned out to be the enemy
Their uniforms were black not brown, they marched to a different step
But he soon tuned in to their frequency
By shifting up one fret
But the one thing that united them
Was they all had life to give
But it wasn't their intention to serve that way, but to kill so they may live
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
Set them marching, stop them thinking
Psyche them up with your will
Stir them up with frantic rhythm
Send them out to kill, kill, kill, kill kill
We are sound we are sound we are sound
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, caught upon the barbed wire
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, crucified upon the barbed wire
The wire
Lost in mirrored labyrinths i strive to find
Anyway to escape
And leave it all behind
But the dense layer lingers on
With promised blue skies beyond
What once were rainbows
Now hazy shades of pastel grey
Circles ever viscious
Content ever sparse
Will i really ever live to tell the
Bitter tale of my quest?
Wandering through the corridors of time
I find wider divides
Primordial plans for a new day dawning
Without mourning
Past moons
That once shone on the ones that today
Left behind
Visionary dreams dissolve in our hands
Such potent potential for transcending
Dimensions
Do you pass or do you fail on the
Consciousness scale
Do your inhibitions lie in body or mind
Are you relying on that silver lining?
Bewitched
Bewildered
Begulied
I lie
Like the tornado's eye
Whilst all around you the madness swirls
Until drawn in
It hurls you high
And lets you fly for a while
But then it lets you fall
It lets you
It makes you
Hace ya mucho tiempo
En un reino desigual
La fuerza del acero reinó
Fueron siglos de cruzadas
De leyendas y temor
De conquista y de traición
Medieval ooh
Por los caminos cabalgó
La tropa del invasor
Y las espadas sonarán
La batalla comenzó
De rojo el campo se tiñó
Con sangre y con valor
Por un poco de tierra más
Sin justicia ni temor
Y la magia surgirá
En el reino medieval
Medieval
Una época de guerra y de poder
Un lugar
De castillos de leyendas y de fé
Medieval
Una época que quiere renacer
Un lugar
De misterios de leyendas y de fé
Por los caminos van
Dispuestos a luchar
Ellos son hijos del reino medieval
Son herederos de
La raza singular
Que en otro tiempo buscaron libertad
Y la magia surgirá
En el reino medieval
Medieval
Una época de guerra y de poder
Un lugar
De castillos de leyendas y de fé
Medieval
Una época que quiere renacer
Un lugar
Intelligentsia
A lost science
Esoteric gods
Total defiance
Preying on the shallow
With caustic bile
Morbid audacity
Beneath a shrouded style
We bring alternate Hell
Primeval damage
Ominous symbolist
Invisible image
Intelligentsia
A lost science
In total defiance
Sunken eyes,
visually submerged,
my disillusion well defined.
perception unclear,
I still gaze,
Things are not what they seem.
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Deception ordered,
obvious unveiled,
strip the mask,
face the front,
Integrity is gone it it's entirety.
Things are not what they seem.
Things are not what they seem.
Things are not what they seem.
Things are not what they seem.
A one dimensional conceptual blur
A reflection of my personality?
still water runs deep - still water runs deep.
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
Dream, blind, deaf, dumb,
I feel the need to clarify
what is threatening my perspectives
Final whim of confidence,
undo the damage I subjected.
Things are what they seem.
Things are what they seem.
Things are what they seem.
Things are what they seem.
Obstacles in sight,
Things that I neglect,
things that I detest,
stumble into darkness,
my world crumbles,
everything falls into place.
The fires of Hell, they yearn for you
Stoked on fear, they burn for you
Burning bodies, they glow in the night
Charcoaled souls that burn so bright
Hell is full and you hear the fires roar
There?s always room for just one more
Brittle bones that break under feet
The rancid smell of freshly burned meat
Sacrifice your soul today
Envolvement lacked,
On your part,
Mutual feelings,
Unfulfilled,
Lack of Trust,
A circumstance,
A wall is built,
On disbelief,
No chance to expand a new beginning shattered.
Suffocate the Sprout...
Suffocate the Sprout.
A place I try to reach,
Disconnected,
Throw it away....
Turn yourself off,
Throw it away...
unwilling to try
Inevitable denied,

Eroticism churns the seed,
An attempt to satisfy our lustrous mentality,
With intent to bear life,
magnetism in it's purest form.
I crave the arousing scent,
A tickling sensation controls my brain,
My attempt to share with you,
what is rightfully ours.
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving.
I, I, I....
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving.
An animalistic sensuality,
That backbone in the gift of life,
well disguised by all humanity,
a tetanus seed released
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving
Day of Concieving.
I, I, I....
Day of Concieving

My skin bleeds grief,
The future seems a rotted ass,
self tormented,
The future seems a rotted ass.
I lie detached,
sorry for myself
Depression is my life.
Suffering at my own will,
a tool to overcome,
the long for your touch
A fragile shell,
a hairline crack,
border for insanity.
I hunt, thorn tears me apart
Driven Down Deep
I search,
an emotional response,
but come up short,
words to express,
need not be said,
The pain shows in my face,
My skin bleeds grief,
The future seems a rotted ass,
self tormented,
Maybe for some
Life is elegant
Maybe for some
Life was faithful sent
But as for me
Life is over now
Spent my time dying
Oh now, tell me how
Life after death
I don?t see
How it can happen
Happen to me
Maybe for some
Your word is the law
Maybe for some
Your voice will never call
But as for me
Your words have only touched
Spent my time running
Righteous Metal
Volume pedal
We?ve got the setting
And now we?re lettin? it go
All knobs to the right
Ten thousand watts of Hell
All knobs to the right
Bid your balls farewell
More than we need
To make ears bleed
There?s plenty of space
We?re savin? you a place in the ground
Screaming mad
Leather clad
Decibel injection
Life ain?t worth livin?
Got to do as you please
Restraints are good sometimes
You better make em squeeze
Society?s got rules
Don?t put em on me
Laws are made to be broken
I?ll break em, you?ll see
Can?t get away
Too many rules
Who made em anyway
A bunch of fuckin? fools
Woman hold on
Bitch don?t tie me down
Got my own life
And I can?t be bound
Don?t need it now
I am free
I broke your fuckin? rules
Alone I lie,
cold,
misconstrued,
my grip is lost on that which is real,
Crystal clear
A memory,
I recall constantly,
It comforts my loneliness
and fills my empty space,
Cold, misconstrued,
alone I lie,
my grip is lost on that which is real,
I lie to myself,
Repeatedly,
I act as if it still exists,
when deep down I know the truth,
Taunting myself,
prepared for a fall,
with the hole in my heart,
I feel
I deserve
I visualize with positive thoughts,
I wallow, subconsciously,
Picture perfect in my head,
fading slowly.
I cling to which does not exist.
I cling to which does not exist.
I recollect the warmth we shared,
It helps me relax and prepares me for what lies ahead.
Another day....
Another day....
Shine shimmering armor so they can see this force.
From afar, behold their doom.
Our megalith called home.
Our megalith called home.
I've seen a poor and humble man,
Stand up to protect his land.
His life, His own, The breath of lovers.
The breath of lovers!
This day will make or break you.
We cannot be afraid.
I cant see through the blood.
My lungs are choked with dust.
Theres something strong inside you.
So do not be afraid.
I cant see through the blood.My lungs are choked with dust.
I cant see through the blood.My lungs are choked with dust.
Aim high! Soon the night will come.
Hold fast! Soon they'll all be gone.
Aim high! Soon the night will come.
Stand firm! Soon they'll all be gone.
Soon they'll all be gone!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
We won't back down!
March on!
