Welcome young traveler
You dare come alone
Through darkness and the storm that whips you still come to my home
You say misfortune’s brought you here a tale I've heard before
I’ll give you all that you could ever want and supply even more
Grief, what a curse
An affliction I've rehearsed
An insatiable thirst the likes of which only grows
As I drain the blood forth from your virgin throat
So, draw your last breath, prepare for your rebirth
Bound by black I am forever
As the undead, the loss of life is my endeavor
A taste of their blood, we’ll rule together
Two souls entwined in darkness, spreading fear throughout the land
By the shadows I’ll make them suffer
Tormented by unrelenting dreams of creatures in the night
Bound by black I am forever
Cursed to be forever more
Arise, It’s time we feast upon their flesh
Ripping apart all signs of life, leaving no one left behind
In due time, as we become one you will don the family crest
Bloodthirsty hunters infamously feared, so equally revered
Power, so great the cost unknown to mortal man
Required to wield such an evil force takes heavy sacrifice
With a, frozen smile accept my offering
Pay with your life
Bound by black we are forever
As the undead, the loss of life is our endeavor
A taste of their blood, we’ll rule together
Two souls entwined in darkness, spreading fear throughout the land
By the shadows we make them suffer
Tormented by unrelenting dreams of creatures in the night
Bound by black we are forever
Cursed to be forever more

Bring forth the prisoner
Read aloud her crimes
She struck a deal with the devil
In exchange for power
Slaughtered our children
Bathed in their blood
By night she soars on the wind
Searching for her prey
Blackened the wings of creation fell
Plunging her into madness
Living a life steeped in sin
For your crimes you’re sentenced to die
Baptized in the fires of hatred
She made a pact with Satan himself
To gain the knowledge of eternal life
The price of which she paid for with our blood
Paid for with our blood
Time has come to hang this foul creature from the gallows
Practicing black magic goes against the will of god
Cleanse her soul with fire
The only way to free ourselves, from the shackles of the witch
Burn
For the sacrifice of your humanity
You will suffer, for all eternity
A crack of thunder, what went awry
They looked in horror as crimson red rained from the sky
You’ve all been cursed by the blood moon
And with my final breaths your fates been sealed so welcome to your doom
A crack of thunder, what went awry
They looked in horror, as everyone began to die
We’ve all been cursed, we’ve all been cursed
We have been cursed by the blood moon

A once peaceful village on the outskirts of the woods
Is now under attack, by monsters too hideous to describe
They came for our flesh
(Oh what can be done)
These quaint dirt roads now echoing in despair
Monstrous roars filling the silence in the air
Frozen by fear, we can’t help but stare
Our live are ripped away from us, tear by tear
We stand defenseless, loved ones torn away
We stand defenseless, our precious town in disarray
Alchemical horrors composed of mud and stone
Tearing our flesh from the bone
They came from a distant unknown
What kind of black magic dragged these creatures up from hell
An evil most hideous trapped us within their spell
The first law of alchemy, equivalent exchange
We are the victims sacrificed for a ritual deranged

Come one come all to the greatest sideshow in the world
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Endless performances to feast your eyes upon
All of your dreams and desires made flesh
Here at our empire of entertainment your ultimate pleasure
Feeds our souls
Get yourself lost within visual ecstasy
Boundless attractions prepare for the ride of your life
Plenty delicious treats to sink your teeth into
Once you have one taste, you’ll never be the same
Settle down
Cast away your fears
Take a drink
Let your mind wander free
All together
Everyone here is a part of us now
Our lives taken a part of their grand masquerade
Souls doomed to march forever in this wretched parade
Our lives taken a part of their grand masquerade
Souls doomed to march forever in this wretched parade
And as you arrive, there's a warning to keep you away
They’ll come for your life it's all a disguise
A twisted charade
The sound of saws splitting the air
A deafening omen of our despair
Lost forever
In sea screams our lives they won't spare
On your flesh we will feast and live forever
These blackened carnival grounds stained with blood
Of our victims no chance of escape
No final retribution
Prepare to die!

Fast approaching the enemy is within our sights
Ready the cannons, fire until every last one has died
Begging for mercy with their dying breath
Jumping to the seas to end their suffering
By land, we’ll march taking all in our path
Leaving a trait of cutthroat men in our wake
The storm we create with our steel unmatched
We unleash hell on earth in the name of the sea
We have forsaken
All who stand to oppose
We have forsaken
So, kneel and surrender all that which you own
Lay the anchor we’ve reached the target destination
Raise your cutlass slaughter all those who stand in our way
Your cries for help will go unanswered
We kill for endless wealth to one day live like kings
Endless torment and ruin we fly
The black jolly-roger an omen of death
On the horizon no hope to survive
There's nowhere to run
No where to hide
We have forsaken
Infinite power behold
We have forsaken
Surrender your body we’ll spare you your soul
By the power of the devil
We’ve been condemned
To live forever but to never feel again
Our crimes to be paid in full
With our eternal suffering
By the power of the devil
We will kill without repentance

Mankind in ruin
Land under siege
Attacked by unearthly creatures from the seas
Waging a war
Against all humanity
For years they’ve waited deep in slumber near our own earth’s core
And from the depths they came
The planet sent to reclaim
From all the pain caused by our own kind
And all the fury that they reign
To rid the world from
Humanities stain we claim
If you are there please hear our plea
Unending horror rises from the sea
and they have taken everything
God end this suffering
Harbor us from destruction
Or is this our damnation
Bow to your new gods
(For we shall not be stopped)
Nature reclaims all life
(and we cannot be stopped)
To restore balance
We have been sent
Now kneel down before us
For your greed you will repent
And from the depths they came
The planet sent to reclaim
From all the pain caused by our own kind
And all the fury that they reign
To rid the world from
Humanity
