2.	Crusader 05:16	lyrics	buy track
Ride fourth and fight for the masters Gain their favor through disaster Steadfast, we will cleanse the enemy Slayers of our dear lord's enmity Riding the coattails of tragedy Sailing on the blood of the damned Can’t you smell the sweet, sweet victory The pathetic down-fall of man Centuries mankind has suffered At the hands of their unholy masters Shrouded in darkness and mystery Humanity is buried in misery Break through, the legions of our foes To the vanquished, we say "Woe" We bring hate, and strife, and pain, and War! The living are fed on by the wolves With teeth and claws they pull Feasting on uncertainty and fear Knowing their days are drawing near Dismembering our memories Is the only thing that matters now Poison a brainwashed mind You’ve been forgotten now Stand tall, you proud strong warrior Sent out on a trail of murder Breathe deep, as conscience slips away A frenzied beast enters the fray Centuries mankind has suffered At the hands of their unholy masters Shrouded in darkness and mystery Humanity is buried in misery Break through, the legions of our foes To the vanquished, we say "Woe" We bring hate, and strife, and pain, and War! The living are fed on by the wolves With teeth and claws they pull Feasting on uncertainty and fear Knowing that their days are drawing near How many more lives will be lost To quench the master’s boundless bloodlust And as their blood, it stains my blade I feel my soul cry out in pain Centuries mankind has suffered At the hands of their unholy masters Shrouded in darkness and mystery Humanity is buried in misery Break through, the legions of our foes To the vanquished, we say "Woe" We bring hate, and strife, and pain, and War! The living are fed on by the wolves With teeth and claws they pull Feasting on uncertainty and fear Knowing that their days are drawing near
3.	Day Of Reckoning 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Was this all for not? All the bodies I have left to rot? How will I be judged by these atrocities The horror I have left behind in my wake Will make you rethink your loyalties Terror unsurpassed Mass casualties Now they demand A new plan of action Sickening, evil things that men do Murder mayhem and absolute horror Driving to the most sadistic thoughts left My bloodied steel is here to taste your fear Terror unsurpassed Mass casualties Now they demand A new plan of action A new plan Of murder A new plan Of terror A new plan Of Destruction A new plan We kill till the killing is done You’ll obey or be removed from the way My time is now and you will follow or taste my blade Your dying breath will be that of your dismay Reach out and take my hand or you’ll be the one who laid to waste Bodies burn to ash You see the world collapse Your soul we’re sending down straight to hell As the silence rings A pause in the suffering I can’t wait for my next killing spree Terror unsurpassed Mass casualties Now they demand A new plan of action A new plan Of murder A new plan Of terror A new plan Of Destruction A new plan We kill till the killing is done
4.	Something Evil Approaches (feat. Jadran Gonzalez) 05:04	lyrics	buy track
The witches are burned right at midnight Emitting a stench O’ so foul These flames engulf the innocent Creating the fate that you sow The spreading of fear And unknown horrors Something evil approaches You cant prepare Unspeakable torment Slipping through your ears Something evil approaches Your coffin sealed The masses are gathered and cheering Stomping on this tainted soil Unbeknownst to them What they cheer for is The torture of their godless souls From darkness the damned will rise They’ll pile the bodies so high Returned from the dead They have come to collect What was taken from them in sin The spreading of fear And unknown horrors Something evil approaches You cant prepare Unspeakable torment Slipping through your ears Something evil approaches Your coffin sealed Something Evil Approaches Terror from the depths of hell This nightmare never ends! The spreading of fear And unknown horrors Something evil approaches You cant prepare Unspeakable torment Slipping through your ears Something evil approaches Your coffin sealed
5.	Borderline 05:44	lyrics	buy track
Lost in my mind Conflict and strife is all I find I long to belong But I fear to be near A pained paradox As the world starts to shear And time after time In this life so unkind I'm inclined to remind my maligned mind Trapped in my brain Sanity is fleeting fast With no reprieve Schema formed with ill intent A crux of pain, I must repent Destined for loneliness This malcontent And now I walk the line I walk along the line The line that splits my mind This borderline of mine I find torment undefined My sanity denied So still I walk the line The tortured borderline My mind suffers on this borderline Human connection Pain and fear of rejection A life unfulfilled And a void I must fill This old shattered mind In which walls I must build I can't pay the cost of this self-holocaust Now I’m crossed I exhaust myself I’m lost No Sanity is fleeting fast With no reprieve Schema formed with ill intent A crux of pain, I must repent Destined for loneliness This malcontent And now I walk the line I walk along the line The line that splits my mind This borderline of mine I find torment undefined My sanity denied So still I walk the line The tortured borderline My mind suffers on this borderline Life in Decline Torment undefined My sanity denied So still I walk the line The tortured borderline My mind suffers on this borderline Dialectic torture of the mind
6.	Psychogenic Death 06:27	lyrics	buy track
Wake in a daze The trauma in your mind Realize this fate Or else we will remind Seek your joy, Find naught, but endless pain For all paths lead To the same decrepit grave Loss & grief define your life ‘Til the fateful day you finally die Will no one grant you some reprieve No loving god? No joy conceived? Neurons firing start to slow And you wonder what it's like to go Through force of will, through strength of mind The shackles crack, free of this life No more suffering Existence Is naught but a hell we suffer night by night Deep deep down Is a soul that writhes in pain Its cruel plight I find Psychogenic Death Life is fading Take the final breath Bleak world Psychogenic Death Apathy Withdrawal of self Indifference is king Melancholy strikes It saps your energy Ambition drained Your pain consumes it all You lie in your waste The self you knew will fall The weight of life comes crashing down The pain it causes knows no bounds Your mind and soul begin to crack And you realize there's no turning back How you suffer day by day And for the light you beg and pray But none will come, for none have heard You find the nature to be absurd No more suffering Existence Is naught but a hell we suffer night by night Deep deep down Is a soul that writhes in pain Its cruel plight I find Psychogenic Death Life is fading Take the final breath Bleak world Psychogenic Death Apathy In this world So full of pain So full of strife So full of hate One must ask Why must we fight? Why must we live? Why can't we die? Colors start to fade to gray And all we feel is apathy Aboulia, it claims our minds Akinesia, this life resigned Now I lay me down to sleep If I find joy, my soul to keep If naught I find, before I wake I curse this life, this twisted fate Body left devoid of life A soul now freed of its long strife We feel no hate We feel no pain As this lost life begins to fade We care not for what could be We've given up We're simply free There's nothing in this world for me There’s Nothing Nothing Nothing

All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! All Hail! Wandering in this great abyss We revel in ignorant bliss No knowledge of the great beyond We soothe our minds with thoughts so fond As our virtue starts to dull Enlightened from the blissful lull The darkest arts we must apply In protest, thee I crucify So now I lift this putrid veil Your feeble mind I do assail Hexed & Cursed with disarray So soon your soul will be my prey All Hail! All Hail! Flagitious witches lay their curse All Hail! All Hail! The incantations so perverse All Hail! All Hail! The vile crones cast a spell All Hail! All Hail! This world, it turns to hell Malefecarum by design We sate the demons of your mind Behold the blackened ways of old Into the darkness, we cast your soul Victim a twisted fate A vicious blood lust you must sate And when this world you must depart A final hex I will impart Struggling as your life flies by Alike this world, I bleed you dry And with this rancid sanguine brew Conferring untold throes to you Maladies you soon will find A foul ghast to you I bind I'll see your line brought to an end To Hades your soul I condemn All Hail! All Hail! Flagitious witches lay their curse All Hail! All Hail! The incantations so perverse All Hail! All Hail! The vile crones cast a spell All Hail! All Hail! This world, it turns to hell Non faccio bollire questa pentola, Ma faccio bollire il corpo e l'anima Di voi With this knot I seal this hex You will not sleep, you will not rest These knots of anger, knots of hate Discord brings you unto your fate I tie this second knot makes two Bringing the darkness over you This slander, discord, evil sewn Malignant fate bestowed to you So with this third knot, I do bind Weaving the chaos in your mind This hex of anger, hex of hate Now bring them down, I will not wait

I lament my cursed fate An inner beast that burns with hate Fan the flames To scorch this earth Blaze of malice consuming me Wrath Wicked Child o' Mine Wrath It burns throughout all Time It's talons grip my Mind Fueled by the hate for mankind You noble fools, you haughty lot My righteous rage, my just onslaught All your hubris, all your pride Has only hastened your demise Wrath Wicked Child o' Mine Wrath It burns throughout all Time It's talons grip my Mind Fueled by the hate for mankind Wicked Child o' Mine Wrath It burns throughout all Time It's talons grip my Mind Fueled by the hate for mankind Hate for everything Is all I know No woman or child is safe from me Pain and suffering awaits you Bleeding out is your just reward Hate for everything Is all I know No woman or child is safe from me Pain and suffering awaits you Bleeding out is your just reward A hammer to the face A blade that spears your heart Your order I'll deface In blood I'll paint my art I plead the witch for power to realize this final hour My vengeance claims my soul Wrath Wicked Child o' Mine Wrath It burns throughout all Time It's talons grip my Mind Fueled by the hate for mankind Wicked Child o' Mine Wrath It burns throughout all Time It's talons grip my Mind Fueled by the hate for mankind
9.	Forced To Worship 05:09	lyrics	buy track
This noble cause, just a veil of deceit These endless wars that only seem to repeat So many lives lost to fear of the damned Oh, so much blood spilt by these cursed hands This cannot stand, this can’t go on I’ll damn my soul by the first light of dawn All knights, all bishops, rooks, queens, & kings Will taste the hate of this pawn Alone I stand against the odds Alone this wolf amongst the dogs They all will burn amidst their Gods They all soon die, the worthless frauds Feeble attempts to disobey Humanity, your greed betrays My mind ensnared by the powers of old The hold of gold, I must remold I can’t forgive, I can’t forget It’s blood for blood, and I will claim this debt So gaze now brothers, revel in this chaos And bear witness on the cross Alone I stand against the odds Alone this wolf amongst the dogs They all will burn amidst their Gods They all soon die, the worthless frauds Forced To Worship Forced To Worship Impaled by the cruel blade that severs your flesh The woman who raised me is now lifeless and dead The father castrated and off with his head The blood on my hands is of my fellow man Free will be damned, her lies are truth I raise your corpse in the light of the moon Her sermon bleeds from my mouth without my resistance Her words have spilled, so will your blood Alone I stand against the odds Alone this wolf amongst the dogs They all will burn amidst their Gods They all soon die, the worthless frauds Forced To Worship Forced To Worship
10.	The Guillotine 01:29	lyrics	buy track
Winds cut down from the blade above Weighted down & ready to cut Waiting for the hooded man To yank the rope Waiting in limbo for the deciding blade A custom crown to make the cut Swift justice looms above you Ready to judge Kill the head and the body will die Perish on the stainless steel of lies The crimson reflection of your last breath These last seconds of borrowed time No time, for your screams when the blade lays down the law Remember the martyr on the chopping block This is the year of the guillotine The cycle of suffering will come to an end But until then my blood will stain your hands But soon this guillotine will avenge my death Soon your head will join mine in this basket

Neck-snapping thrash with hints of power, black, and death metal all wrapped up in a wonderfully nerdy DnD themed package. Excellent record, excellent band Phantom Witch
