A Drop Of Venom
(Lyrics: Mickaël Durand - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
From morning until night
None is on my side
When the mist invades my brain
I need to clear my head
All means so good
I become a stranger
away from his land
I only know self destruction
To find what I'm looking for
A word, a sound, a vision
A new world opening its doors to me
You are my fellow traveller
In my escape from reality
And when disorder settles
You always confort me
Solo
I pull back from this world
To join my peaceful haven
The visions that I see
Make me feel I'm in heaven
it's the only way
i forget all my burdens
that bend me to the earth
Every rose has its thorn
my blood turns to black
There's no place for remorse
there 's no turning back
A dark veil covers my eyes
I forget my past
Am I ready to pay the price
To free my mind at last ?
From morning until night
None is on my side
When the mist invades my brain
I need to clear my head
All means so good
I become a stranger
away from his land
I need to clear my head
All means so good
I become a stranger
away from his land

The Wild Hunt
(Lyrics:Alexandre DUFFAU - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
For centuries they roam the northern winds
Immortal wraith rides through the skies while the battle rages on
On black stallions, they take the mortals away
followed by legions of fire eyed hounds
The burning sun is turning black
Death comes from the sky
The hunt will claim what's rightfully its as they come forth to ride.
We've come for you all
The roaring horde is near
hooves hammer the plain
some men bravely stand
the wild hunt will carry their souls
Solo
Pure evil rages over the field
A harbinger of war is reborn from oblivion
Forces are useless against its assaults
The winds of war swell as blood devastates our land
The roaring horde is near
hooves hammer the plain
some men bravely stand
the wild hunt will carry their souls
For centuries they roam the northern winds
Immortal wraith rides through the skies while the battle rages on
On black stallions, they take the mortals away
followed by legions of fire eyed hounds
The burning sun is turning black
Death comes from the sky
The hunt will claim what's rightfully its as they come forth to ride.
We've come for you all

Shadow Of Death
(Lyrics: Alexandre DUFFAU - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
Up from fire I rise, no fear in my eyes
I’m the savior, i will fight where you all have failed
When there’s blood, The beast’s hungry heart is in ecstasy
I am ready to unleash my demon within
Our enemy will falter when he dies
I embrace my deadliest fate
I face my final hour
One more life i will revive
Power it flows through my veins as they all lie at my feet
Their barriers will crumble under all my force
Tortured faces dying in endless shrieks
Time stands still, time’s running faster, it seems forever
solo
I fly through space and time
Fire fills the hall
Blinding my eyes
The wind is fading
Darkness sourrounds me
It has to be ended

The Summoning
(Lyrics: Alexandre DUFFAU - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
I should not have summoned the forces of eternal darkness
The moon was at its height as the old man told me
The entity appeared, its real form was beyond the mortal scope
I saw malice in its eyes when it crossed my magic seal
i cannot hear my master call anymore
No, there is no other way out
Say goodbye to your own world now
welcome to the astral plan
demon, release my soul
From body unbound my vision’s getting clear
A shade or a ghost i go wafting
The ancient tales had truth in them, it's obvious now
The presence is so near, a force i can’t comprehend
i scream unheard,i weep with plain horror
i bellow then,
a cry of desperate rage
the smoke in my brain makes me mad (i awake from my endless sleep)
i m left alone
Something is drawning me to the other side
Dark voices whisper in my mind
terrifying dreams are breaking my will
I feel i've reach the end
Darkness is calling for me, my life slowly fades away
I can’t remember anything of my past life
It’s cold and black as night all around me
it is too late now, the demon's buried me down into the earth
He’s laughing again and again as he holds my soul in hand
I cannot hear my master call anymore
No, there is no other way out
Say goodbye to your own world now
welcome to the astral plan
demon, release my soul

The Devil's Winds
(Lyrics: Alexandre DUFFAU - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
We have found it at last, This forgotten town
They’re praying to false gods, What could have happened here
Our father has been slain by the ones who know the truth
I can’t believe what I see, It all seems heresy
Everything’s a masquerade
They came to bring the end of days
The lords of chaos played
Our prophet betrayed us
We denied our god
The wall of flames burnt all
We’re now alone
Everything’s dead and gone
A new day begins
These powerful clerics orchestrated it all
Staging the end of the world in the name of theology
The soldiers of the holy cross are marching on
The end is growing closer, we’ll put these heathens down
solo
They came to bring the end of days
The lords of chaos played
Our prophet betrayed us
We denied our god
The wall of flames burnt all
We’re now alone
Everything’s dead and gone
A new day begins
No one must discover our dark secret
Everything must disappear, we will use anything

1348 (Black Death)
(Lyrics: Mickaël Durand - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
Weakened by hunger and the Hundred Years War,
My kingdom is facing a new threat
A mysterious illness from Asia
Sowing death and desolation
The curse strikes everyone
In castles or hovels
Black death, God punished us all
We pay with our lives our sins
Black Death, Greed and blasphemy
Will be crushed by this evil disease
There 's no cure and no escape
Only terror and fear of dying
Our prayers are not enough
To save our damned souls
I look helpless macabre procession of carts
leading to overcrowded cemeteries
Hundreds of putrid bodies
Millions on the run
escaping, fear in their eyes
There's no escape
kings or peasants, they're condamned
The plague spread forth,
The end of men remains in hell
Death rides out from the storm,
we turn to god and cry
The breath of death
sweeping the country
Leaving behind it
many ghost towns
Solo
Black death, God punished us all
We pay with our lives our sins
Black Death, Greed and blasphemy
Will be crushed by this evil disease
There 's no cure and no escape
Only terror and fear of dying
Our prayers are not enough
To save our damned souls

Killing Is My Nature
(Lyrics: Norbert LANGANAY - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
I need you to trace my way if you don't die
Nothing in me will ever be born
I'm waiting for you , girl
You reflect my artwork , my sin
For me, you 'll be the one
By your blood the writing's run
I'm waiting for you , girl
You reflect my artwork, my sin
You ! victim
kneeling at this place
you've lost the smile that you had on your face
cause your head is falling now
You know now it's time
You regret being born
Looking for a kind of sign
From the queen , the prince , the light
Your pain is not a lie but what have you done ?
You will die a violent death won't give birth to your son
By your blood the writing's run
I 'll lead your soul to hell
Rising the strength in me
I'm feeding on the fear
Giving all you feel
Don't try to bribe me
To let you live imploring me
On the floor is blood cause your head is falling
killing is my nature
your soul is mine , believe me
killing is my nature you will see
Flames ,burn inside
Blood boils in your veins
Become my new victim
You won't go to the sky
My mind's on fire
It's a question of time
You'll be another murder
You're part of history
By your blood the writing's run
Solo
I need you to trace my way if you don't die
Nothing in me will ever be born
I'm waiting for you , girl
You reflect my artwork , my sin
For me, you 'll be the one
By your blood the writing's run
I'm waiting for you , girl
You reflect my artwork, my sin
You ! victim
Kneeling at this place
You've lost the smile that you had on your face
Cause your head is falling down
You ! victim
Kneeling at this place
You've lost the smile that you had on your face
Cause your head is falling down
You ! victim
Kneeling at this place
You've lost the smile that you had on your face
Cause your head is falling now
killing is my nature

Lamb Of God
(Lyrics: Mickaël Durand - Music: Norbert LANGANAY)
In the smallest town
Or under cathedral's arches
Resounds the voice of God
The Church rules your world
The keeper of knowledge
Holder of the truth
Keeps men in ignorance
For better taming them
From the cradle to the grave
Your fate is in its hands
Trampling the divine word
Is betrying the Holy Cross
Lamb of God
Fear the judgement day
No salvation without faith
Lamb of God
Heaven or Hell
All for you the only ways
The Inquisition reigns supreme
Feelings of hate and fear
The witch hunt has begun
Death to the foes of Christ
Unbelievers and heretics
Are tracked and judged
To escape a thousand torments
Better they confess their sins
Blasphemies lead to pyre
Sins feed the purifying fire
Fall on your knees
Hear our words, believe what we say
Lost are the souls of the damned
which are joining the Underworld for eternity
