Lyrics: The battle raged on and on Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man Consistently, without the eyes to see By those who revel in sewer equally We, the prosperity of the future seal Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind Born to capture the essence of The trails of our kind Zero tolerance must be issued forth Behind the enemy's line So it shall be written And so it shall be done [repeat 1st and 2nd verse] Discover and conceive the secret wealth And pass it unto your breed Become your own congregation Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration We, who not deny the animal of our nature We, who yearn to preserve our liberation We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours Consider the god we could be without the grace Once and for all Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace Once and for all [Music by Mustis] [Lyrics by Silenoz] Death Cult Armageddon is the sixth studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, released on 8 September 2003. It has since sold over 100,000 copies in the United States; the first album under Nuclear Blast to do so; and debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 169.[1] The songs "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" and "Vredesbyrd" were both released as singles with accompanying music videos. The prior song featuring additional vocals from Abbath; along with "Heavenly Perverse"; being used, with "Eradication Instincts Defined", as background music in the Hellboy film trailer and was featured on the TV show Battle for Ozzfest. "Eradication Instincts Defined" was also used in a trailer for the film Stardust. Parts of the album were recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. The artwork within the album displays what appears to be an industrial factory, inside of which the band members are living out their fantasies, some of which are similar to scenes seen in the music video for Progenies of the Great Apocalypse. Artwork was done by Swiss artist Joachim Luetke. Most of the songs have a common apocalyptic theme Release history Death Cult Armageddon saw initial release on CD, vinyl and DVD-Audio on 8 September 2003 under Nuclear Blast,[2] the DVD-Audio edition featuring all three bonus tracks, the "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" music video and photo galleries,[3] which later featured on the Ozzfest edition bonus disc, and the Digipack editions featured the Bathory cover "Satan My Master".
