HIGH ON FIRE LYRICS

1. Fury Whip

Slit throat holocaust, Dark's the day of pentecost
Waiting for the ships to turn the tide
Black fiend, treachery, he numbers fall, you wear thirteen
Pray the demons cannot kill the light
Killed dead, splitting head, making sure the lion's fed
Hanging by a thread that holds your life
Pain King, suffering; walk on through the acid ring
Imprisoned but your hands are still untied
The fool's religion
Unprophet's truth
Live self destruction
Bad luck's your noose
Sin, sex, bad intent, making sure the money's spent
Watching as your dollars turn to dimes
Death tax, broken backs, 'time has come to wield the axe
Paying for the check and all your crime

2. Waste Of Tiamat

Twisting, falling, like eagles they drop from the sky
Without warning, the nuclear beast shows its eyes
Chaos ramped, the cult of the severed head rise
Among the ashes, could not foresee strength or size

Haunting screaming, gone in a flash of our eyes
Priestly being meant nothing more than their guise
Fallen angels, light up the sky with demise
Blackened hydra makes way as dark men conspire

Demons swarming, attacking the few who survive
Armageddon, the heavens and hell will collide
Cometh conqueror, black death is allotted its time
Primely power, to walk through the blood is divine

3. Death Is This Communion

The site of the last horizons, the minion seek to resurrect a God
The graves hold arcane mysteries, various swamps hide terrible catacombs
The circle of redeemers, the pact is made with human sacrifice
Under storm filled skies, behemoth of the sea awakes...arise
Tremble at the horror in which it writhes
Once they behold and unearth the titans might
Faithful servants pay its ghastly price
Slithering, blasphemous, curse upon all life
Now you realize
Death is this communion

4. Khanrad's Wall

[Instrumental]

5. Turk

I cannot grasp this black psychology
My cage's walls are closing in on me
The rage that surfaces is not my soul
It's like a devil taking control
The violence lives in me ad will not leave
Live a magician with pain up his sleeve

[chorus]
The sight of God is to unfold
Memories untold
For every poem's a rhyme
The joke is father time

our delves in twisted sexuality
Substance abuse and immortality
A stark obsession no one else would know
Questions unanswered, how far can this go
The wall of torment, my blood's boiling
Break this shell to do what's so obscene

6. Headhunter

[Instrumental]

7. Rumors Of War

Howling tracks of Hell track coming,
Black storm on the rise
They fill out temples with their lies

The snakes come slithering
Anarchy
Chaotic hunters rise
Spit in the evil eyes

Stand our ground with hate and fury;
Fear that comes will die
Our enemies have come to life

Now they exalt the fiend
Shotgun
Your nightmare's not a dream
They'll choke you and your screams

A clashing comes,
The haunting presence controlling all that breaths
It's brought the world down to it knees

The hounds of hell are freed
Desolate
And with their bite, disease
His evil never sleeps

Sacrificing sons and daughters, rolls the war machine
The tyrant fills his destiny

The snakes come slithering
Anarchy
Chaotic hunters rise
Spit in the evil eyes

8. DII

[Instrumental]

9. Cyclopian Scape

Reptile race crossbred down through the golden age, human haze
Lemurian throne taken and usurped by th alien drones, controlled and honed
Atlantian keys sunken and destroyed by catastrophe, left wandering
Bloodline kings slither down through society's reptoid dreams
Cataclysm to the elder tribes
Aununnaki have survived
Continents underwater shrine
Ocean vaults holding time
Say ye grace unto the serpent line
Unviel curses and their lies
Contemplate the lengths they'll go to rule
A there fangs dig into you

10. Ethereal

The skill and mind of magic
Holding the mystic doors
Like moths to ancient light
Follow ascend in flight

Fall through the ether lakes
Dimension, time and space
[?] ... walls
Gliding through daemon halls

It's black wings wrap around me
Fires glow red and white
A metamorphosis
Until the end of time

Cocooned and made to slumber
The beings that come from darkness
A resurrection passage
Awakes the armies under earth

I walk the open steps to answer
Abyssious voice leads me onward
A fate unknown by a future
A scepter raised of Hades elders

The skill and mind of magic
Holding the mystic doors
Like moths to ancient light
Follow ascend in flight

Fall through the ether lakes
Dimension, time and space
[?] ... walls
Gliding through daemon halls

It's black wings wrap around me
Fires glow red and white
A metamorphosis
Until the end of time

Cocooned and made to slumber
The beings that come from darkness
A resurrection passage
Awakes the armies under earth

I walk the open steps to answer
Abyssious voice leads me onward
A fate unknown by a future
A scepter raised of Hades elders

[Solo]

I walk the open steps to answer
Abyssious voice leads me onward
A fate unknown by a future
A scepter raised of Hades elders

I walk the open steps to answer
Abyssious voice leads me onward
A fate unknown by a future
A scepter raised of Hades elders

11. Return To NOD

Serve the shadows mountain peaks under the glass mirrored skies
Sing the psalms of the wailing winds, the entrance seer will provide
Stars reveal the tattered map, a land cursed of time
So speak the words of our challenger seeking the ultimate prize

[chorus:]
Speaking the words of the sorcerer's tongue
No one can stop what's already begun
Follow the footsteps and unlock the door
The giant you face has awakened

Fear is invoked by your trembling hands, the foe is deadly and wise
A sight that's filled the eyes of mighty men, the very cost of their lives
Take the aim of the shimmering blade, the vulnerable spot is precise
Swift is the hand of the waking beast, crown of two worlds is the prize

[chorus]

Blood will spill on the warrior's feet, casting the enemy aside
Exalting the hero for evermore, steps to the throne of eyes
Serve the shadows mountain peaks under the glass mirrored skies
Sing the psalms of the wailing winds, the entrance seer will provide
