Traversing through pathways on perilous shores The bogles converge under a moonless sky The fire in the distance from the eye of the beast bewitches As it emerges from the womb of night Hungry, like the bleeding dark I will speak not of its name Carving a pestilent trail of the dead Dripping with poison, a vision of dread Rattling the heavens, let evil be known Rising from abyssal waters below Beware the monster - Devil o’ the sea The Nuckelavee Plaguewielder, deathbringer, Protect me Lord, o’ mither! I mean no harm, I mean no harm! Woe-stricken, yet unyielding, I march into the flame The vicious chasm of the gaping maw Hungry, like the bleeding dark I will speak not of its name Carving a pestilent trail of the dead Dripping with poison, a vision of dread Rattling the heavens, let evil be known Rising from abyssal waters below Beware the monster - Devil o’ the sea The Nuckelavee Prayers roam skyward, my cross held high Claws swing violently like bloody scythes Black blood courses through yellow veins Unforgiving is the curse of fate I have stared into the void, but luck is on my side Praise be to God for I’m alive The storm grants me salvation Rain falls on rotten flesh A great roar infects the air With its venomous breath The crushing din of hooves Fades into the velvet black Return to the depths from whence you came The tale is mine to tell Defeated, but the Devil will be back… Carving a pestilent trail of the dead Dripping with poison, a vision of dread Rattling the heavens, let evil be known Rising from abyssal waters below Beware the monster - Devil o’ the sea The Nuckelavee

Speak, o’ witches three Why dost thou linger ‘pon this heath? Force thine knowledge and secrets arcane ‘pon me Fork-tongued symphonies, wicked prophecies Let not light reveal my clandestinity Dark forces move and command with insidious hands unseen I, the deceiver I am the serpent ‘neath the flowers that bloom I, the believer Forfeit the treasure of mine eternal jewel Mind the voice inside Let them crawl, and let fate be my guide Pluck mine eyes from the skull and let blood reign o’er me Venture silently, but curse inwardly Doth the blade in my smile crush divinity? False faces hide what desire may lurk in the heart beneath I, the deceiver I am the serpent ‘neath the flowers that bloom I, the believer Forfeit the treasure of mine eternal jewel Let the dagger lead the way Let the wine of life be spilled Let the night infect the day For the Devil I’ve become With blessings left unsaid To the darkness, I succumb Bring the storm ‘pon my head I, the deceiver I am the serpent ‘neath the flowers that bloom I, the believer Forfeit the treasure of mine eternal jewel

O’ Prince of Hell, I bow to thee before thine blackened throne Your servants dwell in blasphemy wherever they may roam I vow to live in lechery, and may you walk behind Temptation plants its wicked seed within thine willing mind May the hangman take their souls From church to flaming hollow May the hangman drag their souls down Warlocks - one with the fire Withered hags - sink your claws into me Warlocks - in kirkyards conspire with death Tales of your iniquity, they travel through the night While Eden’s sweet serenity is raped with much delight Upon the tempest’s rugged wings, you ride o’er battered graves A reign of torment may you bring until the end o’ days Turn down the crucifix For the rabid scythe-wielding triple-six Turn down your crucifix now Warlocks - one with the fire Withered hags - sink your claws into me Warlocks - in kirkyards conspire with death Let kelpies wander the fjords And lanterns float in the mires The Queen of Winter, with hair white as snow Brings the fog where they hide Bewitched lands where the old gods still lurk Wild-hanging woods, the revered Devil’s church Treacherous mountains will take you And send you below Wraiths in the gloaming, they roam while you sleep The wind cuts through bones where grieving mothers weep Fare-you-well, straight to hell Into the abyss you drift Warlocks - one with the fire Withered hags - sink your claws into me Warlocks - in kirkyards conspire with death Warlocks - bound to His power Withered hags - cursing the Trinity Warlocks - the witching hour is here Now, onwards we go

Lost in the heart of the highlands, we roam Seeking another world A bestial portal into the unknown Crushing the will of God Eyes on the brae, sin guides the way Veiled in the fuzz of the night Secrets that crawl from the black womb beyond Unlocked with clairvoyant might I am beast Take mine eyes Necromancy Let me be divinized I am beast Sacrifice Hear my cursed prayer Goat vomit nightmare Hallucinations out of control Dancing upon the fire Horned tormentors, frothing and foul March through the dismal fog A clatter of hooves, shadows that move Forever haunted by death Unleash the hellstorm upon my soul Trapped in body possessed I am beast Take mine eyes Necromancy Let me be divinized I am beast Sacrifice Hear my cursed prayer Goat vomit nightmare Convulsions great and manic Entranced by Devil magic

In flooded labyrinthine trenches Where the clan of Sawney dwells The blood of evil flows like a river To the blackest pits of hell Join the hunt, reap the night In the kingdom deserted by light Hail and kill, screams so shrill Echo violently… Caves where mangled children hang Pendulous, they lurk amongst the gloom Their bodies flayed Slain in the lair of the cannibal king Crucified in rows amongst the rot All lifeblood drained In the name of… The cursed carrion Crown Worship in sin Rapture within The cursed carrion Crown Wrath of the wild Lucifer’s child must die The wretched prey lie dead and graveless A cruel passage below Trapped in perdition and butchered in ecstasy Before the pestilent throne Caves where mangled children hang Pendulous, they lurk amongst the gloom Their bodies flayed Slain in the lair of the cannibal king Crucified in rows amongst the rot All lifeblood drained In the name of … The cursed carrion Crown Worship in sin Rapture within The cursed carrion Crown Wrath of the wild Lucifer’s child must die With the hounds at their back The flesh cult are trapped No more in mystery This is the end To the gallows condemned They shan’t repent for thee Hang, bastards hang The hellspawn torn asunder Burn, devils burn Live on in infamy Hang, bastards hang Restless in flaming slumber now Sink into the dark

Seductress infernal, she twists into form From slumber awakened Aflame in the twilight, in league with the storm To poison salvation The thunderous echoes and the cries of the damned Haunting the waters Lost souls, they wander upon burning paths Ripe for slaughter The madness, the terror, the sin Drink from the chalice of death The bewitching force of the cloven hoof Syphons the breath and soul Dragged through the hissing marshes And into the deep Dragged through the marshes Spellbound and willing, the grotesque divine The grip of the Devil The abyssal gateway betwixt life and death Beckons the vessel The hand’s feeble grasp - in ecstasy ravaged Coiled in serpents The pale kiss enchanting, the spirit adrift The Water’s lament The madness, the terror, the sin Drink from the chalice of death The bewitching force of the cloven hoof Syphons the breath and soul Dragged through the hissing marshes And into the deep Dragged through the marshes Dragged through the hissing marshes And into the deep Dragged through the marshes Into the water you go

Lament the dearly departed, bleed for the gods The shadow of damnation’s horns Threatens the madness behind the veil Lick the life from the wounds one by one Light the flame, for the rite has begun A theatre of phantoms where devilry shall be revealed Speak O’ Goddess of demise Of secrets untold Vomit the soul Oh, bless us tonight Poison womb, blasphemous bitch Raging doom, the curse of the witch 666 serpents rise from the cunt of the beast Dreaming of worlds torn asunder This night is damned, this night is fucked The crooked left hand, held to the sky it ruptures the seal Speak O’ Goddess of demise Of secrets untold Vomit the soul Oh, bless us tonight Draped In malevolent splendour, worship the dark The black majesty matriarch Behold, the glorious hellscape wakes Nocturnal force cracks the great flaming whip Convulsions are fueled by the weight of their sins Fathomless nightmares and torturous visions prevail Lost in the realms of demise A dance with the dead For this journey ends With us tonight Poison womb, blasphemous bitch Raging doom, the curse of the witch 666 serpents rise Poison womb, blasphemous bitch Raging doom, the curse of the witch 666 serpents rise from the cunt of the beast

These waters primaeval, they harbour this curse Of the world-coiling dragon - a wretched plague on this earth Hunger burning like the blaze within its eyes A cataclysmic yearning to rip and destroy the purity from their lives Here be terror, here be death On the seventh day, at the beast’s behest It calls with nine great barks that split the blackened skies Greet its foul presence with the sacrifice In dream and death Your daughters be damned The endless cycle of this cursed land In dream and death The world crumbles before thine eyes Swallowed by darkness We face the stoor worm’s wrath The offerings devoured lie on a bed of broken ships Cities now but catacombs rot in the belly of the serpent Woe unrelenting like a million lashing whips Forced into madness lamenting all the poor souls that fall into its unyielding grip Here be terror, here be death For the seven virgins, let the beast be fed Now you must lay the girls upon the sanguine shores Hear their screams eclipsed by its savage roars In dream and death Your daughters be damned The endless cycle of this cursed land In dream and death The world crumbles before thine eyes Swallowed by darkness We face the stoor worm’s wrath Call upon the seventh son Face the challenge to spare the kingborn Claim the prize of Odin's sword And reap the glory of the imperilled kingdom Avenge the fallen of the past Perishing amongst the ruins of dreams vast Wield the power of the gods And reap the glory of the imperilled kingdom Now stand and fight Gather your courage and rid humankind of its plight The time has come Follow your destiny, march on into the unknown Ride the waves into its cavernous mouth Braced With dagger in hand, with the prayers of the silent crowd Wrench the blade in to the hilt Set the liver on fire for the kill Spewed back onto land Through smoke and fire, he’s spiralling Assipattle crawls upon bloody sand Let the heavens cry The masses watch on in disbelief Bile falls like rain from the melting sky And with forked tongue it grasps at the moon In its death throes, it bellows And crashes back down to the ground And now the battle is won Free for the first time, they welcome the sun From its cessation comes the islands’ creation And the tale of the stoor worm lives on
