1.	Impaled 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Die on the spike for all your hatred Killed by the piercing sharpened rod Eternal pain for you, my friend Hang on the spike like the new dead god Laugh as the blood runs down the spike Scorn for those that do this to you Pain is joy for this sweet end No one can endure - THIS IS SUFFERING! They thought they'd kill you dead today The sight of blood lights up your eyes The spike holds no fucking fear for you You're not the only one who'll die Intestinal gore runs from your mouth Stopping not at all your vile hate speech This iron spike is slick and red You'll linger in their prayers FOREVER! Hang like a martyr Grin as you drip blood Curse like a demon Die like a true god Feel your life slip away as secrets fill your heart When you rise again, tear this world apart Transform with pain, let the blood spill You live again to laugh and scream and KILL! Piercing flesh, dripping blood, sharpened spear Show no fear, laugh at death, savour pain Blood in mouth, blood on spike, blood on earth Screaming pain, wisdom gained, god of all God of death, spewing bile, secrets learnt Dying true, bloody pain, for nine days Blood in mouth, blood on spike, blood on earth Screaming pain, wisdom gained, god of all
2.	The Way of the Twilight... or the Aura of Flies 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Open up, bleeding heart A damaged mind, a work of art Secret pain in the night Comes the dark, ready to fight Open up, bleeding heart All alone, mind comes apart The Way of the Twilight or the Aura of Flies Choose one - Choose one and one of us dies The Way of the Twilight or the Aura of Flies Choose one! CHOOSE! Eating fear and loneliness Join us for dark promises Take this path, your only hope The other choice: the end of a rope Come with me into the night See the darkness; no shining light Open up, no more heart Slashed canvas; destroyed art A bleeding mind: next to excise Complete the task, you know it's wise Random deaths, your new found pride Insert the blade and slash it wide Down this road you must go Lest ye die, it must be so You need to act to let it grow Dementia calls and you must go
3.	Bastards of the Gallows or Bastards on the Rack 03:49	lyrics	buy track
I name you all a bastard and bastards they must die Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Hate is what I stand for and hate I will let fly Suffer for my glory, suffer for your pain Suffer for my madness and all I stand to gain Hanging lifeless corpses, rid the world of bastards Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Fucking bloody bastards pollute this world of mine Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Using my resources, wasting breath and time Hanging in their nooses, hanging in the trees Hanging from the gallows - Righteous killing sprees Torture all the bastards then just let them die Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Hate crime for pride - bastards slaughtered Pure world torture - murdered bastards Killing bastards for my empire Terrorising human wreckage Hang the impure - need to see pain Too late to stop, killing goes on Agony in the death chambers - Bastards all will DIE! Hate crime for my pride Rid the world of bastards Pure world of my reign They will all fucking pay I hate this world I live in - Bastards everywhere Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Punishment for all those that steal my proud empire I'm one to change this, I'm the one who'll act I'm the world's true leader and I cannot be attacked Killing all the bastards is my holy right Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Savage fucking beatings and wear the bastards' mark Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack The rack it is a weapon of pain and fear and pain Suffer for my glory, suffer for your pain Suffer for my madness and all I stand to gain Bastards, they will suffer and then they will be hanged Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack Wait for the time Kill on my word For all of Earth KILL Bastards on the gallows or bastards on the rack
4.	Fuck it Hard 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Power you can never fucking have Sons of the ancient nation Bloody corpses lie all around Killed - broken Spawn of unnatural union Son of a bitch and a retard Cut yourself and die We don't fucking care FUCK IT HARD All of your blood is mine In you I see suffering shapes Feel hate of ungodly power Suffer, ingrate I am master of your soul And I am soulless Always hold the winning card Cannot die, I'll tell you why Always hold the winning card Fuck it Hard
5.	Fury of the Northmen 02:12	lyrics	buy track
Viking madmen attacking in their longboats Merciless and murderous they put you to the sword Raping your women and killing all your holy men Save us, oh lord, from the fury of the Northmen Writhing in your pain Slaughtered by the Northmen Fire and sword are the tribute of a hated god Desecrate the altar and burn the corpses of the priests Savagery and butchery are the only answer to your please Save us, oh lord, from the fury of the Northmen
6.	The Forgotten King 04:45	lyrics	buy track
So you want to be immortal? Listen to the King Dressed in yellow rags A drunk old man will give you all Rob the sacred temples Take seven holy totems Kill seven true believers Spread death on this broken land NO! NO! What is it I have to do? I don't want to kill for you; I just want to live forever I may be drunk, but I'm not so clever Don't break the oath. The oath How many died for you? Undead old man; Priest of Death Tell me I won't die cold and lonely; you tricked me into murder foul I need to be remembered I never meant to break the oath I broke the oath. I cannot go home Bring me the cursed book. Bring me the pallid mask. Invade the heart of earth Start the war to end the Earth The sword you hold is of a god Wind and fire you control Kill your gods and kill yourself Allow my wretched life to end.
7.	Darkest Day 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Cold on high Dark Sunlight Ash I see Grief my birthright Ash in heart Crown of lies Fall by lust And that heart dies Incapable of hate and fear Pain on pain and wind and dust is all I see Ripped from soul, wed to grief Drink to the bitter dregs this cup of woe I've poured for thee Sun won't rise, cold you feel I did this, I've fallen from the blessed heights Darkest day, wolf eats the Moon Fall broken Cursed emperor Twisted darkness Sane no more Freezing darkness Evil, empty Fates hate me Fates destroy me Blinded by the ashes Wounded by the dark star Broken by fall He's fallen so far The day is dark And choking smoke rises up Swallow this - now I see my Darkest Day
8.	Manuel's Mile 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Visceral hate - The coming of storms Pleasure of the lifeless state; blugeoned human worms Ravenous fire, by chance I strike and kill Hunting for the scream in desire Killed for the urge, slaughtered for the sport The demon that possesses is my joyeous, twisted mind Raped in the dark; strangled, left for dead Laughingly defile my prey on Manuel's Mile Shot in the night - A family cruelly slain The thill of the blood in my perfect madman's sight I'll kill and I'll rape; I cannot - will not - stop Amusement from the murdering Possessed by myself, the lord of sudden death Killing gives a sense of life; my gory, bloodstained soul I pass in the night, murder in my wake Ripping, tearing from my mind exalted fear and pain Turn up the radio...I'll go quietly... Kill in the darkness, feed the twisted bloodlust Embrace demonic hatred; kill to see death Unrepentant evil, pride in killing Murder is the only reason for my life
9.	Wings of War 02:04	lyrics	buy track
Fly on the Wings of War Separate your limbs in a Violent orgy of bloody death Bleed on your homeland's earth Strangle with your intestines Wrapped around your broken twisted neck Marching into designated terrriory Mercy unknown in killing frenzy Psychopathic stabbings allowing me to think Lines and lines of faceless monsters Slaughtering, slavering, are your masters Flying on the cursed Wings of War
10.	Pestilence 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Skeletal hands reach out to offer death The plague foretold in the prophet's dying breath The stench of decay on the fourth part of the Earth On the wings of the storm... The spreading death, it taints your blood You shed your final tears with certainty The cancer grows, it's mankind's final years The father of filth has come to set you free Corrupted flesh and the stench of rotting lives Scouring the skin and burning out the eyes Break the seal as the madman prophesised Saved from the sword to die of pestilence You cannot halt the tide of plague The crumbling ashes of humanity The searing pain, the agony THE AGONY! Suffer, weakened The blight of decay it rots your bones Infection, destruction The mouth starts to bleed and the breath grows short Skeletal hands reach out to offer death The plague manifest in your painful final breath The stench of decay on the fourth part of the Earth On the wings of the storm... Writhing in your misery On the corpses of your family Darkness of death comes finally

about

Achren Glasgow, UK

Described as 'underground titans' and 'a fearsome live act' by leading UK metal magazines and culturally significant enough for the British Library to archive their work, Achren are a terrifying intrusion into the lives of the ordinary people who encounter them. Achren's music is dominated by jagged riffs, dark melody and overlaid with vocal expressions of destruction and madness. ... more
