Altar to the Orc Lord

I walk through the dark forest - a wind blows through the trees
With the white moon blade in my grasp - a blood offering will be made to thee
A sacrifice to the orc lord - your power will guide my sword
I pass through the gates to the abyss - will still breathing elf filth
I lie her at the base to the shrine - the blade cuts, she is forever still
A sacrifice to the orc lord - your power will guide my sword
May his power rise - and fill my blackened soul
Oh powerful one all shall kneel - as we turn this world dark and cold
The blood runs from her veins - into the altar of beasts
Into the now full chalice - my heart now truly beats
Rise my brothers - take arms - with his blessings we march
May his power rise - and fill my blackened soul
Oh powerful one all shall kneel - as we turn this world dark and cold
The white blade - of the ancients cuts the skin
The blood flows - the orc lord's power now within
This story ends with piles of bodies

West of the blue mountains - the land was destroyed and sank beneath the waves
Forty years of destruction - armies of orc and balrogs cannot be saved
The winged dragons have never been seen
The terrible onslaught accompanied - by lighting storms unleashed
While the three armies of men fought along - side the Valar
Many men of the East pledged allegiance to the darkness - forevermore
The winged dragons have never been seen
The terrible onslaught accompanied - by lighting storms unleashed
Earendil came with his skyship - Vingilot
Earendil slew the mighty - Ancalagon
It is time - it is time for Sauron to rise
Morgoth's reign now at an end - a new dark lord ascends
The only power needed is the one ring
Only Durin's bane and cold drakes seen
The only power needed - is the one ring (xs 2)
Earendil came with his skyship - Vingilot
Earendil slew the mighty - Ancalagon

Years of the trees - he came to the ruins of Angband to renew his rule
Ungoliant's attack we drove off only to be placed in the pits of Angband anew
Feanor after his loss to the Noldor faced off alone with us
Even the mightiest of the children of Iluvatar was smote to the Earth
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
You are stronger than the most valien of foes
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
Feanor fell to your many firy blows
Stand in fear Maedhros - Feanor's son
You will stand up to us but history will read that we had won
The foolish son of a fallen enemy, a memory
After your treaty so feigned - your party was slain - you wer brought to Angband
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
You are stronger than the most valien of foes
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
Feanor fell to your many firy blows
The balrogs rode upon the backs of dragons to reach
The hidden city of Gondolin - death will we preach
House of the fountain's lord Ecthelion - killed our lord but it also cost him his life
Try to escape all you want but you will fall with us
Into the void of fire you will pass right into the night
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
You are stronger than the most valien of foes
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
Feanor fell to your many firy blows
The balrogs rode upon the backs of dragons to reach
The hidden city of Gondolin - death will we preach
Urus ni buzra
Arras talbabi filluma
Ugrud tashniki kurduma
Lu lu lu
Urkhas tanakhi
Fire in the deep - flames lick our skin
Fear rips our heart - no, no, no the demon comes
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
You are stronger than the most valien of foes
Gothmog, lord of the balrogs - Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
Feanor fell to your many firy blows

Betrayed - betrayed was the host of Fingolfin - abandoned by Feanor's host while in Amen - abandoned in Amen
But the host had finally arrived - between the two - tensions were high
Morgoth can't weather the light that blinds - disrupting his mind
Morgoth's plans never cease - for him only darkness is peace - for him only darkness is peace
Confusion gripped Morgoth's forces - Set upon - Huthlum
Revealed by the Valar - the creation of the sun and the moon
Morgoth sent up clouds of smoke - to darken Hithlum
Aided by the very darkness Morgoth had set upon Hithlum
Fingon - traveled to Angband to make sure Maedhros was rescued
United is - the noldor and - they can establish mighty kingdoms
Morgoth's forces destroyed by the Noldor who
Set upon Angband
Set upon Angband
The Noldor completely destroyed
Morgoth's forces - and set upon
Angband
Morgoth's plans never cease - for him only darkness is peace - for him only darkness is peace
Confusion gripped Morgoth's forces - Set upon - Huthlum
Revealed by the Valar - the creation of the sun and the moon
Morgoth sent up clouds of smoke - to darken Hithlum

One of the Maiar - immortal with physical form - a servant of Aule
The great smith I followed you until the truth was shown to me
Coordination and order outweigh your faith
Science and thoughtfulness will create the Wraiths
I - am your dark master
I - will not relent
I - will show no mercy - as their bones turn to dust
I - am eternal night
I - am the abhorred
I - am the end of life - forevermore
Yes I knew more music than he - but wisdom outweighs any great melody - he showed me
The faultiness of gods and that true power lies within - free thinking my only sin
Coordination and order outweigh your faith
Science and thoughtfulness will create the Wraiths
I - am your dark master
I - will not relent
I - will show no mercy - as their bones turn to dust
I - am eternal night
I - am the abhorred
I - am the end of life - forevermore
Bereft of my lord - I am he
The true dark master - I am thee
Choke on your faith for what is worship through the veil of ignorance
The truth is only hard because you are weak - so follow your gods of insignificance
I - am your dark master

Arun's Lament

Your existence is meaningless
You pathetic beings
If I am alive then you are a lie
I'm an immortal force while you will die
All of your worth is worth nothing at all
Your standing tall is worth less than my crawl
You are unequal to dust
Every breath causes disgust
If I am alive then you are a lie
I'm an immortal force while you will die
All of your worth is worth nothing at all
Your standing tall is worth less than my crawl
Your are nothing

Shadow and Flame

Torgoroth - raised by his master from the deep
One of the few to survive the War of Wrath, for his fire shall keep
Carnaan - a force beyond the knowledge of man
For once the elven spirit kneels but I shall stand
Destructive and deadly as dragons
Pure shadow and flame
My arrogance and slaughter of orc and beast
Has awakened a force that will do what Sauron commands to be
Carnaan - a force beyond the knowledge of man
My only way to banish the fire from these lands
Destructive and deadly as dragons
Pure shadow and flame
Destructive and deadly as dragons
Torgoroth - raised by his master from the deep
One of the few to survive the War of Wrath, for his fire shall keep
Carnaan an elemental force beyond - the knowledge of man
My arrogance and slaughter of orc and beast
Has awakened a force that will do what Sauron commands to be
Carnaan - a force beyond the knowledge of man
My only way to banish the fire from these lands
I pull myself to my feet
I will not accept defeat

Lord - of - Minas Morgul
Is how I am known I am the black captain - I was born in the second
Age - my - kingdom for thousands of years
Angmar is where I fled - once our lord was defeated
Surrounded by an aura of fear - all will flee in sheer terror
I am the Witch King - fall to your knees
With a wave of my hand you will bleed
Stron - ger - with - the absence of light
Bow down to my might, unstoppable under the veil of
Night - black - breath - one of my tools
Send the warrior you have chosen - if I am struck they will be poisoned
Surrounded by an aura of fear - all will flee in sheer terror
I am the Witch King - fall to your knees
With a wave of my hand you will bleed
On my fellbeast you will cease
On my fellbeast you will cease
I AM - the lord of the Nazgul
I AM - the lord of the Nazgul
Surrounded by an aura of fear - all will flee in sheer terror
I am the Witch King - fall to your knees
With a wave of my hand you will bleed
Surrounded by an aura of fear - all will flee in sheer terror
I am the Witch King - fall to your knees
With a wave of my hand you will bleed

Leader of the misty mountains
Succeeded by the ple one - AZOG
The mighty one falls on the field of battle
Of Azanul-bizar
Son of Azog
Dain caused his fall
With no remorse - even the - innocent will bleed
Sadistic intent is my psychopathic need
Son of Azog - Dain caused his fall
Born of the pale - merciless - will be my tale
Chorus
An army of goblins, worgs, and bats - I shall lead
My insatiable lust for blood and power - I shall feed
The murderous cruel - warrior - with no qualms about massacring men
At the hands of the elf - I find my end
Son of Azog - Dain caused his fall
Born of the pale - merciless - will be my tale
An army of goblins, worgs, and bats - I shall lead
My insatiable lust for blood and power - I shall feed
Heavy momentum behind my blows
From the backs of worgs - will destroy my foes
I refuse to even bleed for you - or show any pain
The bloodline ends but that changes not - the fathers who have become a stain
Son of Azog - Dain caused his fall
Born of the pale - merciless - will be my tale
An army of goblins, worgs, and bats - I shall lead
My insatiable lust for blood and power - I shall feed

Primeval Night

Escaping the hunters I find my way
To the dark recesses to feed on the light of day
I know I need the light to survive - but I hate it so
A physical form that is monstrous - my life - comes from what I hate
The motivation of revenge is strong - the Valar will wish I would have died
Going to Ezellohar I will - drink the wells dry
I will make the dark lord feel afraid - more than his worst nightmare
Darkness beyond anything known - I consume the light
I feed on the light you see
Nature's joy is what created this beast

Food For The Strong
04:52

Carry the cauldron to the top of the hill - do not lose yourself and follow the trail
Fresh - unspoiled - no more black bread and rotten flesh
Gagged and bound for now
but once the pot boils you'll be dead
Empty bellies lead to lost battles - and those to lost wars
But tonight we feast and tomorrow will be ours
Gather around - gather around my friends, break out the grog and rejoice
We will silence those warms by consuming their voice
As the screaming fades our mouths water and smile
Until there is nothing left but bones in a pile
Empty bellies lead to lost battles - and those to lost wars
But tonight we feast and tomorrow will be ours
The time - the time has come to feed
No more fists - just drink - and hobbit meat
Finally full - we'll stand tall
It is time - to kill them all
Gather around - gather around my friends, break out the grog and rejoice
They've went from pointless foes to our food of choice
Empty bellies lead to lost battles indeed
But we will prevail with hobbit meat - it's time to feed
Empty bellies lead to lost battles - and those to lost wars
But tonight we feast and tomorrow will be ours
The time - the time has come to feed
No more fists - just drink - and hobbit meat
Finally full - we'll stand tall
It is time - to kill them all
You reek of fear - you foul fucking race
You are food for the strong - gone without a trace
You reek of fear - you foul fucking race
You are food for the strong - gone without a trace
The time - the time has come to feed
No more fists - just drink - and hobbit meat
Finally full - we'll stand tall
It is time - to kill them all
