Approaching Doom
Urgehal Lyrics

Demonic whips upon a funeral black night sky
In the dark and ominous night sky, ominous demonic forces are at work, symbolized by whips that are being wielded by unknown entities.

Corpsecold soil beneath our cloven hooves
As these unknown entities traverse the earth, they leave behind them the cold and lifeless trail of destruction. The soil beneath their cloven hooves is barren and desolate, like a wasteland with no hope of regeneration.

Church fires enlightens the left hand path
As the demons continue their journey, they burn down churches and destroy that which they see as holy, casting light on the path of the left-hand, where darkness reigns supreme.

Like torches from hell devouring the cross
Their actions and beliefs are like hellish torches that consume the cross, the symbol of Christianity, with all the hatred and passion of a fire that cannot be put out.

Thou shall worship Him with fire and blood
To show their devotion to the horned god, the demons worship him through the symbols of fire and blood, embodying the destructive and life-giving powers of the universe.

Sacrifice thy flesh to the horned god
To prove their loyalty to the demonic force, they offer up their own flesh and blood in a macabre and brutal sacrifice, demonstrating their unwavering faith and commitment to the cause.

Fulfill the infernal pacts through the black arts
To remain faithful and committed, they must follow the pacts and rituals of the black arts, channeling the darkest energies and powers that exist within the universe.

Signed and drenched in sacrificial blood
To seal their commitment, they sign a blood-stained contract, binding them forever to the worship of the horned god and the dark powers that exist in the universe.

For each step my mind grows darker
As they continue on this path, they become more and more entrenched in the darkness and chaos of the demonic realm, their minds absorbing all the twisted and evil energies that surround them.

For each kill my soul grows stronger
With every act of violence and brutality, they feel their own souls growing ever stronger, as if they are becoming more aligned with the powers that drive their actions.

Preparing for the apocalyptic war
Their ultimate goal is to be fully prepared for the coming apocalyptic war, where the forces of darkness will finally triumph over the forces of light.

Through satanic rituals and sorcery
To achieve this goal, they rely on the dark power of satanic rituals and sorcery, harnessing every twisted and chaotic energy that exists within the universe.

Perform the rites of necromancy
They also dabble in necromancy, the practice of communicating with the dead in order to gain deeper insight into the realm of the demonic, and to channel its darker energies.

Evoke the unhallowed dead
As part of their practices, they evoke the unhallowed dead, beings that have already passed through death and are therefore closer to the realm of darkness than anything still living.

In sadistic black mass perversions
To demonstrate their devotion to the horned god, they engage in sadistic and perverted black masses, channeling all of their twisted longings and desires into these dark rituals.

We seal the oath of the goat
To bind themselves to the demonic realm forever, they seal an oath in the name of the goat, one of the primary symbols of the horned god and of their own twisted devotion.

Carve his symbol in thy flesh
As a final act of devotion, they carve the symbol of the horned god into their own flesh, making it a permanent part of their very being.

Bleed for the lords of hell
To demonstrate their utter devotion and submission to the lords of hell, they bleed willingly and freely, their own blood essential to the power that lies within them.

Declare war upon the heavens
With their ultimate goal in sight, they declare war on the forces of heaven, seeking to destroy all that is light and good in order to bring about the triumph of chaos and darkness.

Kill in His name
Their final act of devotion is to kill in the name of the horned god, demonstrating their utter commitment to the cause of demonic power and domination over all things living.

Behold His coming
With all their preparations complete, they stand ready, watching and waiting for the coming of their dark and demonic master, the horned god who will finally bring about the apocalyptic war that will reshape the very universe itself.
