Bolt Thrower - Realm Of Chaos

'Who Dares Wins'

'Cenotaph'

[Cenotaph]

Alone you stand - The final parody
Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality

Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead
For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread

Never forgotten - Wars memory lingers on
A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion

This solemn image - Constructed with resolution
A monument - To wars terminal conclusion

Cenotaph

'Destructive Infinity'

You never thought life could come to this
Man reborn to die upon the altar of war

And now we stand, to face the truth
This world now enslaved, bound by hate

In fear of life, now that the mindless control
As the flame of hope for mankind now burns away

For now you stand alone to die
Whilst visions of horror infest your mind

Destructive - Man's lust for power
Infinity - A lifetime of war

Destroying your world, again and again
Suffering in torment, through agonising pain

Killing for pleasure, only the strong shall remain
An arising slaughter, as hatred and terror now reigns

Destructive - The world now ripped apart
Infinity - A never ending fear

Destructive infinity

'Prophet Of Hatred'

Look to the sky the time has come
Stand and be brave you body feels numb
Face the atrocity at what you have become
Twisting your mind it's only just begun

Fear of religion, war, insanity
This decision - die for my deity
Power to those who question destiny
Man destroys untamed animosity

Blood - the taste of death is sweet
Death - my victory is complete
Devour - your soul now we're as one
Mercy - in this world I give you none

I am the carrion lord
Bow to me and give my praise
Sacrifice the blood of a thousand souls
Only then your life I will save

You're my living warrior
My strength shall be my revenge
You shall have no remorse
As you slay for my right
To control the downfall of man

Fear of religion, war, insanity
This decision - die for my deity
Power to those who question destiny
Man destroys untamed animosity

Blood - the taste of death is sweet
Death - my victory is complete
Devour - your soul now we're as one
Mercy - in this world I give you none

Only the insane have the strength to prosper
And only those that prosper judge what is sane

'Realm Of Chaos (live)'

Enter the realm of Chaos, your nightmare has just begun
You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run

The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy
Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination

Past life you deplore, present life abhor
Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel

Mutated creatures round you stare, at your limbs they all tear
It's too late now to say a prayer, for your Gods have no care

Welcome incursions of Chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them - Is the only way to exist

Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy
The final requisition, is no longer your decision

The obscure depravity blinds you, now you cannot see
What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold

Now it's time to pay your price - The ultimate sacrifice
Gasp at your final breath - Cleansed now in your death
Your death

'Spearhead' (Extended Remix)

[Spearheads]
Spearhead - Pierces through you [doesn't sing this]
Fear numbs my mind, persecutes you [doesn't sing this]
Spearhead - Marching onwards
Take my soul, sacrificial offering
Your initial strike taken by surprise
Now left alone, condemned by my pride
Drained of all emotion - Body now an empty shell
There's nothing left - You've taken all away
(chorus)
Adrenaline flows
Now filled with anger
Just what will be the outcome
Mass confusion tears my mind
Spearhead - No victory sublime
Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you
Spearhead - To which I cannot hold
With clear perceptions my destiny unfolds
I look to the reflection, fail to recognise what's seen
A figure clothed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be
Faced by this total stranger - Aware of your creation
No vision of your former self - Controlled by your instructions
Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance
Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled
Now staring face to face, your eyes filled with hate
Held by your contempt, both by weakness and by strength
(repeat chorus)
[Adrenaline flows
Now filled with anger
Just what will be the outcome
Mass confusion tears my mind
My mind
Tears my mind
Spearhead]

'Crown Of Life'

Rising - From mundane existence
A new world - Seen through your eyes
To deception - Give no resistance
All your hopes and dreams are now sanctified
Blind to the hypocrisy
Goodness is all that you see
Your past life - Is cast aside
In false truths - You now confide
Pledged to a life of divinity
Superior through your own piety
Holier than thou - Alone you wear the crown
In your private asylum
Look to what you have become
Condemned to misery and strive
Alone you wear the crown of life
The crown of life
The crown of life

'Dying Creed'

Fallen are the people of the decaying race
Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late
Too late
Mankind - The dying creed, reared on ignorance and greed
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs
A path of self-destruction they cannot see
Regarding their only interest in profitability
They cannot see
Open up your mind before it's too late
Unlock the chains of confinement that we create
Grasping all you can - Overloaded capacity
Nothing can conceal instinctive rapacity
A movement to disaster could this be the final plan
Blinded by our avarice the closing chapter
Extinction of man
Mankind - The dying creed, reared on ignorance and greed
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs

'Lament'

The time has come to leave this place - Never to return
Nothing's left but ashes - My body now is spurned
Your sorrow will subside in time - My one, true, only friend
There is one thing we can do - To avert this bitter end
Up amongst the stars I dwell - Tranquility is found
I look upon the earth - To which all human life is bound
Alone I wander aimlessly - For now my spirit's free
My soul exists within you as I guide your destiny
The tears of grief you weep for me - Through uncontrolled emotion
You have given me your all - A life time of devotion
So come my friend take my hand - Together we shall see
The pathways through the darkness - For all eternity

[Eternity]

'World Eater '94'

[World Eater]

As silence roared through the gathered masses
You stared awaiting eagerly
Approaching darkness, decreasing your life expectancy

The tension is now rising
The calm before the storm
See you life flash before you
Will you live to see the dawn?

The enemy is now approaching
With bloodlust in their eyes
Intense fear is overcoming
For now death - You will defy

As the battle raged all dead and wounded
Bodies, carnage all you see
The white hot blast - Melting flesh
The searing pain is agony

You stand alone
The final parody
As you realise - Your mortality
For you cannot chance your destiny
To die at the hands - Of the unknown enemy
Your death - You can't deter
As the silence - [Once more] returns

World-eater

'Overlord'

A time for peace, a time for war
Time moving onwards forever more
A time to live, a time to die
The prophecy now denied... denied

Life blood flows cold
Contempt overruns the soul
Burning deep inside
The litany abide

Embrace the terror
No place to hide
Face the final judgement
Compassion now slowly dies

Stripped of all sanity
Installed a new reality
Overlord supremacy
Vengeance now implied

Embrace the terror
No place to hide
Face the final judgement
Compassion now slowly dies

Now free from strain
Existence drains away
Fallen as the rain
To the last with life pain

Now slipped through veins
Can't comprehend such feeling
Now stretched beyond capacity
Vengeance shall be mine
