1.	Bound By Iniquity 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Upon the fabric of thy holy vestment I smell a stench most unkind A man who may challenge his fate, through avarice shall claim him a god In his pocket hides the poisoned dagger which shall betray his last friend A serpent today and tomorrow still, whose treachery shall be his undoing Within the vessels of the divine water shall be a stain of crimson For no man can withstand my hate whose malice shall pierce through thy flesh O, to see your eyes reeling in horror as through your skin I incise As your blood slakes the thirst of the soil, the circle of torment completes Rites of vengeance Spectral terror Haunted by deeds and crushed by time Loathsome being Demon revived Rose from the earth to take your life Unholy Father, I commit this damned soul to thee Eternity's wings, bear his mortal soul to hell Unholy Father, claim thy immortal recompense Forever shackled and bound by iniquity
2.	Under the Morning Star's Glow 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Pulling the blade from the silt Merging the steel with the flesh A cry for God's unchosen few Bound to the souls he shall reap There stands the throne of Jehovah Stained with the fruit of his lies Remains of the priest now lifeless Vomit on him as he dies O, Lord of the endless void, I burn for thee May your will be hewn in stone for eternity Into the seat of the holy Ever to spite the divine Nails torn from the crucifix Driven into this black shrine Spirit of Lucifer's blade Possessing my mortal soul Every wound shall be unmade Under the Morning Star's glow O, Lord of the endless void, I bleed for thee May your will be hewn in stone for eternity
3.	The Fall of Freyr 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Can you see his breath of flame across the black expanse? Can you hear the words he speaks, commanding living death? Can you see the firey blade above the burning plain? Will you see the light of day or draw now your last breath? Can you feel the world shorn beneath the ceaseless march? Can you cross his mighty sword without thy servant's own? Can you hear the Gjallarhorn upon which Heimdall blows? Will you stand by Asgard's wall or meet the damned crone? Meet the damned crone Queen of Hel's domain Falls the mighty Freyr Kneel to Surtr's reign Can you feel the scorching heat that razes all the land? As your life is crushed beneath your cruel unmaker's hands Falls the mighty Freyr Kneel to Surtr's reign
4.	The Blinding of the Far Wanderer (demo version) 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Casting his gaze above, praying he be wrong The smoke betrays the truth, burning through his home Voices now silenced, no more to join in song Tyrants under Yahweh shall sit upon the throne He screams for the gods but none heed the call The altar lies in ruins, usurped by holy lies Blood and tears of kin, butchered one and all No joy beneath the heavens, for even gods must die Emissaries of Christ, tremble before his rage Lord of lies and libel, impotent thy will Behold the book of judgment, burned across each page Your souls are made forfeit by every man you've killed
