MORTILLERY LYRICS

1. Radiation Sickness

The rising sun brings a new day
Splitting the atoms, creates a new hell
Thousands dead in an instant on the streets
Only their shadows remain

In a flash your life is taken away
The mushroom cloud is a symbol of death
Feel the shockwave, hear the sound
Hiroshima city burns to the ground

Deception is key to enter the war
Many will suffer to settle the score
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Destroying lives, leaving nothing behind

Radiation sickness
1945
Necessary evil
Now prepare to die
Blackened liquid matter rains from the sky
Contaminated substance of life

The streets are filled with agony
People charred and the barely alive
Creeping slowly dragging their feet
Looking to escape this blazing inferno

In a flash your life is taken away
The mushroom cloud is a symbol of death
Feel the shockwave, hear the sound
Hiroshima city burns to the ground

Deception is key to enter the war
Many will suffer to settle the score
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Destroying lives, leaving nothing behind

Radiation sickness
1945
Necessary evil
Now prepare to die
Blackened liquid matter rains from the sky
Contaminated substance of life

Come on

Spared from the fire bombs
A test to measure hate
Three were chosen but two will fall

Radiation sickness
1945
Necessary evil
Now prepare to die
Blackened liquid matter rains from the sky
Contaminated substance of life

Deception is key to enter the war
Many will suffer to settle the score
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Destroying lives, leaving nothing behind, nothing behind, nothing behind

2. Age Of Stone

Ancient sun descends
Quieting the land
As the night frosts life into the dawn

Moonlight takes command
Predators ascend
As the hunt feeds life into the dawn

In the ruthless Pleistocene
An ice age swept across the earth
Bearing grasslands that were sparse
Avid ice sheets claim their turf

Aurochs grazing in the fields
Ibex gather to survive
Mammoths heard together in fear
They are hunted

Carnivorous are the apex predators
Exploiting bogs they close in for the kill
Thrusting spears leaving stone tools in their wake
Smashing bones into rock sucking marrow out

Strategic slaughter taking down big game
Powerful musculature; they kill at close range
Skinning quarry; knives made out of stone
Antlers to shaft; the first craftsmanship is born

Fires burn in a musty grotto hearth
Emeralds glow in the sky

People of great mystery
Bred out by homo sapiens
Lived and died by the rules of carnivores
Extinct never to be seen again

3. Bullet

Arboreal cavity hollowed and tunneled
Monogynous colony shaded and guarded
Nesting chambers closely stacked in tiers
A cartridge of conscripts
Infantry worker-fashioned cells
To hoard their brood

Bullet fires excruciating pain
Venom flowing fiercely in your veins
Disturbing peace is an act of war
Neurotoxin brings agony to their foe

Crepuscular foraging is vital and determined
Workers strive to scavenge along the canopy
Landmarks guide the troops as they return
With instinct they come
Bearing rations to feed their kin

A founding queen; the nuptial flight
Leaving her nest mates behind
Soaring high into the air
She meets her mate; her wings she tears

Eusocial through primitive
A lifetime of seed he gives
Workers thrive; the caster forms
Soldiers slay defending their home

Defenders swarm from deep within its core

4. Mantis

Quietly she awaits on foliage for her mate
The sweet smell of death fills the air
With a traitor's smile and animal lust
She will breed

He descends from the canopy
Swaying with alpha pride
Guided by a promiscuous scent
Drawn in by a luring dance

A brilliant display of instinct
Far from human instinct
Their words shall never intersect
They are pure

Patiently camouflaged awaits to take
Stalking past memories to better ones own fate
Innocent prey absorbs betray
From the ravenous deceiver with clouded eyes

Shredding the mind
Cannibalistic traits cut deep
The scent is so strong
Predator eyes tease naked meat

Mantis the aggressor
Mantis enchanting predator

Molting old skin
Uncovers true hate from within
New stained traitor lurking in the mist
Awaiting the next victim to submit

Forming the lies
Enchanting aggressor will soon arise
The endless slay and mental decay
When your back is turned she will strike

She strikes so fast
She strikes to kill

During copulation she'll chomp off his head
Continuing to gyrate after he's dead
The seed has been planted and life shall go on
Humanity's loyalty remains forever lost

Shredding the mind
Cannibalistic traits cut deep
The scent is so strong
No solace for the weak

5. Black Friday

Brewing to the west
The climate schemes and collides
Foothills feed the drifter cold
Stirring to the east
The violent cell is unleashed
The cluster of storms approached

Vortex gathering speed
Refinery Row at its peak
Abate when the kill is weak
Annihilate then dissipate

Brilliant sky stares
Onto its swath of destruction
Hail beats down
Like boulders from above
Vicious eye channels
All its wrath onto the chosen
Supercells give birth to the F5

The roaring freight train
Announces its arrival
Many can't escape the tornadic storm
Encircled by debris
Lives are lost and left broken
Stillness guides the beast
Back to the core from which it came

Black Friday

6. Wendigo

Human becoming cryptid
Struggling to survive
Famine from dead cold winters
Canadian woods

Catabolysis claims tissues
Atrophy weakening the mind
Seeking the weak or children
With hunger behind the eyes

Satisfy with flesh form others
Gaining great strength and speed
Sacrifice based on survival
Awakes a demon's sleep

The evil that devours haunts northern forests
Controlling the sky using dark magic
Elongated tongues mimic human voices
Stalking the host in the dark

Returning to mortal land
After years of hibernation
The lone creature is hungry
And possession is his passion

Wendigo made of ice
Wendigo bloody eyes
Wendigo pale yellow skin
Wendigo is razor thin
Sight of the Wendigo means death will follow
Wendigo fifteen feet tall
Wendigo the cannibal

Keeping victims alive to keep them fresh
Underground in caves he makes his nest
Man-beast with a venomous bite
Leaving starved victims to change

Host turns to beast running naked through the trees
With threats of violence spewing from its jaws
Cravings begin; blood and flesh hang off the chin
Of he who was too selfish to die

7. At The Gates

A soul breaks free from a corpse
The journey begins to the end of the earth
A realm invisible in human form
A greedy god's kingdom of the dead

A dying wish of coins on lips
To pay the fair
Or forever be trapped between worlds

Spirits of the dead
Passing one way to the underworld

Acheron river of pain
Cocytus river of lamentation
Phlegethon river of fire
Styx river of hatred
Lethe river of oblivion

Alone he stands at the gates
Watching ferryman drifting in
He who enters cannot escape
A thirst for souls from flesh stripping heads

Kneel and be judged; eternal fate
Frozen in time skeletons roams weightless

The living shall not enter here
He sees the past, present and future

8. Torture

I shovel the coal while you bring me pain
Ignorant to the lashing
Torture is certain, I cannot escape
Reality kick to the face

I fear this life
I fear the end
Torture

Fire is burning at both ends
Weary of drinking poison
Reclusive, I scream at the night
Re-born from ashes again

Appearing with nobility
I give it all or nothing
With words that rip flesh from bone
I should've hit the ground running

I fear this life
I fear the end
Torture is certain I cannot escape
I fear this life
I fear the end
Torture

To gaze upon the world as one
And glide through all the madness
With timeless thoughts of what can be,
Restricted by your darkness

Ride upon the midnight sky
To see it all but come back blind
Desire clouds reality
I am all out of fight

Torture
Quartered as the horses pull
Torture
Shunned and dragged then left alone
Torture
Oblivious to loyalty
Torture
From lust I beg to be set free

9. Shapeshifter

The dendrites crawl
Upon the trees
Casting moonlit shadows on the snow

Beneath the frost the rot
Emanates from the kill
Ravens scavenge on the crimson ice

Free the beast within
Therian

Suppressed, bound up tight and backed against the wall
Gripping to the sanity that always seems to fall

(Shapeshifter)

Change what is hated and what is not real
Never look back

Peering from a deepened den
Behold the road that lies downwind
Thrusted down on hand and knee
Dripping flesh and snarling teeth

Bursting from frostbitten skin
Hackles raised; howling breath

Change what is hated and never ever look back

Shapeshifter

The dendrites crawl
Upon the trees
Casting moonlit shadows on the snow

Beneath the frost the rot
Emanates from the kill
Ravens scavenge on the crimson ice

10. Patient Zero

Hijacked on a dreary night
Cast to live amongst the dead
Through a teal lagoon of corpses
On land of human

Beak masque doctors pull ashore
The freshly incarcerated
Interns shovel swollen bodies
To ignite them in plague pits

Patient Zero
Never getting out
Patient Zero
Here is where you die

Ghostly wails from the lazaretto
Echo through the institution
Each era has its own terror
Quarantined in crumbling walls

The warden bell tower
Hovers above the nameless graves
Waiting for bells to chime again
Upon a modern age

Patient Zero
Never getting out
Patient Zero
Here is where you die

11. Neckbreaker

Climbing the summit with pride
Driven by famine and honor to die
The elders call out through the wind
With guidance to the custom
Established long ago

Bareback and moral on an offspring steed
Breaking twigs off of the trees
Maternal wake to provide a safe return
Mist break reveals a desolate place
Cold air strikes hard on the face
A son carried his mother to her death

Come forth into the sea of trees
Open your darkest thoughts to me
A curse laid by Ubasute
Extending my limbs in a desperate embrace

Ignore the signs and never look back
My branches are your gallows
Tortured by society you'll break
Shadows taunting sanity
An attempt to die with dignity
We both know you're not hesitant to die

Behold the icy caverns
Gathering of Yurei
Pristine and enchanting
The perfect place to lie
Volcanic detritus
Concealing the macabre
The only being by your side forever is yourself

I feed off the corpses spread throughout
The lost give me the strength that I need
To let my demons out

12. Shine

[originally by Motörhead]

Hard time gettin' to ya babe
Double take, figure real rough trade
But you know I'm a real good lover
Can't judge a book by the cover
I know, and you know I know
Can't trust your intuition no more

Look good and I make you smile
Bet ya thought I wouldn't have no style
I'm gonna turn your head around
Won't know til you hit the ground
Gonna change the way you feel
I'm gonna roll ya like a wheel

High life, I'm a fool for you
Low life, like to break the rules
First bite, you know I got a taste for you
I'm gonna make you shine

Be a switch to say the last
My beauty gonna meet your beast
Comin' over and shake your tree
My body gonna set you free
I know, and you know it's true
More over I'm comin' through

It's over and I got you down
Gonna chase you round and round
Mess around with the way you feel
Gonna offer you a whole new deal
Gonna lay it on ya just for kicks
Down on ya like a ton of bricks
