eaven's golden gates
Their anger suppressed 2,000 years
Hypocrisy is running through their veins

The angels...are out for your blood
They cry out...a declaration of war
A war...to wipe out mankind
All evil...unleashed in this night

[lead:Paul]

[Repeat chorus]

Believers raise their hands up to the skies
Not realizing their faith is based on lies
Awaiting the arrival of their lord
Unknowing they'll be utterly destroyed

[Repeat 2nd verse]

The believers finally realize
The False One eternally idolized
Too late to fight the hand of fate
You're exposed to God's unholy rage

[Repeat chorus]


2. In Utter Darkness

[music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

As I dwell in utter darkness,
where death's my only friend
As I emerge from the pits,
where the rotting corpses dance

Blood, pus, slime and faeces,
drip from all my holes
My lust for flesh is fulfilled,
as I tear your soul apart

The sound of, your spine,
being broken by my hands
Makes me, so hard,
this erection, can't be ignored
Feel my, maggot-, infested cock,
between your legs
I pull out, I cum blood,
in your dismembered face

I am the walking dead,
I live, to kill
No remorse, no regrets,
it's just my way, of killing time
I feast, on your flesh,
to make the pain, go away
The suffering, the intense suffering,
it tortures me, every day

[Chorus]

Stare into my eyes,
and you will understand;
Fulci wrote no fiction;
the dead walk...once again.

[Repeat 2nd verse]

[Repeat chorus]


3. Sincere Chainsaw Salvation

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

A fire used to burn,
a fire deep inside
The need to be somebody,
the need to stand out
I gave up all my standards,
I gave up all my goals
I became a number,
absorbed by the crowd

But now I feel the urge
to stand up like a man
I'll leave my mark on society,
anyway I can
Slaughtering the innocent,
butchering the old
Burying their rotting bones,
feasting on their blood

[Chorus]

Chainsaw amputation,
scissors cut through nerves
Trendy eyeball piercings,
scarification supreme
Genital dissection,
broken glass stuffed in your holes
One worthless motherfucker
left dismembered on the floor

Disturbing thoughts, cross my mind,
as I lay down on my bed
Frustrations of everyday-life,
are boiling in my head

I feel the urge, I feel the need,
to go out and kill
Kill my problems, kill the world,
KILL! KILL! KILL!

[Repeat chorus]

[tremelo abuse:Stephan]

I tried to conform, to society's ways
But I just couldn't, I couldn't cope
With all corruption, with all the lies
So I gave up, I gave up all hope

[tremelo abuse:Paul]

Call me an outcast, call me a freak
I don't care, I don't give a fuck
When my chainsaw, rips your flesh
You will know, who's in control


4. Infuriated

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

The master commands, the soldiers obey,
they'll fight till death
Saddle up your horses, raise your swords,
obey my commands
You must fight, destroy the false ones,
each hanger-on
Who follow their leaders, without thinking
-just like you

The battle begins, show no mercy,
chop off their heads
Beelzebub's smiling; he's gathering recruits,
for the legions of hell
Blindly they're fighting, without any sense,
they kill to kill
They're caught in a spell, locked in a shell, prisoners of Hell

Their minds start to work ,
the spell's losing grip,
They fight to get free
They disobey their master,
they have their own will now,
Can't you see
The Evil Force has lost its strength,
the spell is broken
They turn to their master;
chop off his head
The False One's power is taken

[lead:Paul]


5. The Howling

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

Searching for me with its gloomy eyes
Eyes of fire in the dead of the night
The Howling is all around...
How long will it take 'till I will be found
Now it has got me on the run
Now the chase has begun
I don't know where I must run
Cause it follows me wherever I go

[lead:Leon]

Two different personalities are
living in my brain
My alter ego is chasing me,
it's driving me insane
Schizophrenic, sickening,
violence-seeking mind
Is trying to eliminate
my helpful, peaceful side

[lead:Paul]

It has found me,
now there's no escape
This is the end of my trip
Suicide is the only solution
To free myself
from my persecution mania

[lead:Leon]

Distorted thoughts of suicide
will not leave my mind
My persecuted mind
is searching for a way out
Slitting my wrists -
a pleasant way to die
Besides myself I kill the one
who is fucking up my mind


6. Gods Of War

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

Genocide - all civilization destroyed
The gods of war - emerging once again
Limb-dissection - body parts everywhere
Soul-collector - beware, the reaper is near
Limb-dissector, soul collector
Fear the reaper, for I am near
Ethnic cleansing, extermination
Genocide, is what I crave
The smell of death turns me on;
I cum on segmented limbs
Women, children, men and beasts;
all corpses smell the same
Sempiternal, hell on earth
The gods of war, have emerged
Do not await, the Nazarene
No judgement day, all prayers in vain.
The rotting stench of burning flesh,
the sickening smell of war
It fills your lungs
like the stench of an indisposed whore

[lead:Paul]

[Repeat 3rd verse]

Women, children, men and beasts,
yellow, black and white
No discrimination;
you all die tonight!!!


7. The Devil's Concubine

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

Night falls, darkness calls,
evil fantasies in your mind
Summer breeze, you feel at ease,
sorrows banished from your mind
Erotic dreams, perverted scenes,
behind the curtains of your eyes
Hellish whore opens wide,
you can't see through her wicked lies

[Chorus]

She appears in your nightmares,
she lives in your dreams
She's got the looks of an angel,
but she's not what she seems
The whore of Satan,
the Devil's concubine
For a night of passion,
you'll suffer a lifetime
Fingers stretching, nails scratching,
blood is running down your back
Flesh torn, bloodcum,
feel the hooks inside her cunt
Orgasmic rush, turns to dust,
as you scream out in disgust
Satanic whore, queen of gore,
you're suffering, yet she wants more

[Repeat chorus]

[lead:Stephan]

As you lie there, blood-soaked...
Satan's whores are gathered
to feast upon your flesh Organs and genitals;
a "grand buffet" of first-class human meat
Your soul has left your body,
the journey to the other side begins
Prepare for mental torture,
as you enter the realm of ecstasy

[lead:Paul]


8. Speed Kills

[Music & lyrics: S. Geb©di]

Thrash, feel the power from inside
Intense metal will blow your mind
The way you look, we don't care
As long as the feeling burns in your soul

[Chorus]

Your blood circulation is running mad-
Our Speed Kills!
All out violence fills the air
Segmented limbs lie everywhere
Colliding bodies - a metal war
There's blood on the dance-floor -
give me more

[Repeat chorus]

[lead:Leon]

Intense thrashing - feel the pain
Hardcore metal burns your brain
Loss of energy, loss of words
As you witness our deadly rebirth:

[lead:Paul]

[written in 1983-the first Thanatos song ever written!]


9. Thou Shalt Rot

[Music & lyrics: S.Geb©di]

She drank the seed of thirteen devils
Cast out from hell, banned from heaven
Mother of all whores, mother of sin
She carries the spawn of Evil within

In the flames of horror -
she spills her blood
Giving birth to Invictus-
left to rot

Born from the seed of thirteen devils
He carries the flag of death into battle
Invictus, immortal, the lord of plagues
All enemies slaughtered, all opponents slain
On the field of honour- he'll spill your blood
On the field of honour- thou shalt rot:

As we're gathered here tonight,
in the Church of Indulgence
We celebrate Invictus,
our victorious lord Bringer of pleasures,
master of sin
Destroyer of dogmas,
he feeds the power within

Forward into battle,
destroying all in sight
Root out all religion;
the plague of mankind

God, the demon architect,
the master of all lies
Billions drugged for life,
please open your eyes!
