The Discreet Charm Of Evil

by SANKT VELTEN

supported by

rarog A very entertaining metal album not sticking striktly to any sub-genre but mixing heavy and thrash with some elements from what was modern around the millennium, but without drifting away from metal to crossover. Favorite track: Mano Cornuta.

afronhoffs I really really love this album!! Not a boring song on it, there are many different styles of metal in evidence, all made into one epic masterpiece through superb songwriting. If you like melodic, thrash and/or heavy metal, then buy this album! Favorite track: Do Penance.

Tonight we gonna have a ball We celebrate the anniversary of my fall In hate we are united and of course you are invited As a V.I.P. so come on down and see The dress-code certainly is black And in the end there’s gonna be no way to get back So be prepared to stay in hell To burn with me perpetual Your soul is lost, please let me be it’s host Are you forever decent and upright Don’t you betimes crave for your neighbours bride Don’t be afraid cause you’re not alone But if you claim to be devoid of vice I have to blame you for telling me lies You’re not the one to cast the first stone Don’t you defy, give hell a try And come on dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory Your days are meaningless and grey You bear the daily grind and dream of running away It’s up to you now you must chose I offer you eternal youth And sweet desires – jump into the fire Why do you try to behave like a saint Deep in your heart you are spoilt and restrained Do you believe the words of the bible? Man, do you think there’s a deity that cares? And does your god really notice your prayers? Give in your faith! Become my disciple Don’t you defy, give hell a try And come on dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory Why do you try to behave like a saint Deep in your heart you are spoilt and restrained Do you believe the words of the bible? Man, do you think there’s a deity that cares? And does your god really notice your prayers? Give in your faith! Become my disciple Don’t you defy, give hell a try And come on dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory dancing, dancing, dancing in Purgatory

I’m the face of evil that is planted in your head I’m the allegory for everything that’s bad And for every harm I am the guy to lay the blame I’m the Fallen Angel – Sankt Velten is my name Even though I am the demon ruling from my throne I am just a being that is made of flesh and bone Sometimes I am longing for some human heat and peel That’s when I will catch you to make scream and squeal I’ll ambush you someday to take you to my dungeon I’ll hold you as my slave to satisfy my lust I’ll tie you up in chains to plague with my hellpike and I laugh at your pain when I do what you don’t like it will be hot we will be fried in Centigrade and Fahrenheit it’s gonna be like sex in a Microwave Hell is like a blast furnace it’s hotter than the sun And when my games are over you’ll be jaded and well done But if you’re polite you’ll get an extra dose Procain You will love my treatment for lust is close to pain I’ll ambush you someday to take you to my dungeon I’ll hold you as my slave to satisfy my lust I’ll tie you up in chains to plague with my hellpike and I laugh at your pain when I do what you don’t like it will be hot we will be fried in Centigrade and Fahrenheit it’s gonna be like sex in a Microwave Come ambush me today I’ll take you into my dungeon I’ll hold you as my slave to satisfy my lust I’ll tie you up in chains to plague with my hellpike and I laugh at your pain when I do what you don’t like it will be hot we will be fried in Centigrade and Fahrenheit it’s gonna be like sex in a Microwave

I never tried to be divine I never planned a revolution Or projected Thy decline I only asked to get a clue about the secrets Thou withholded I never doubted You What’s Thy reproach? What’s the accuse? Where is the proof for my resistance? I only seeked the Truth How did I fail? What was my fault? Who testifies that I once stated: “I want to be god?” Once I was Thy guard loyal to the heart I adored Thy mysterious ways Watched over Eden’s gate But by a twist of fate Thy fondness turned to hate I sudden fell from Thy grace My name is “Bringer of Light” I am the Angel that died And ever since fall of man, oh Lord My demise was a part of Thy plan But I won’t die again! I’m a device, a sacrifice, I’m held in charge for all misfortune For all Thy artful lies I have to bear the entire blame for all the cruelty and injustice That’s done in Thy name Once I served to Thee I was faultlessly So obedient and full of believe A Cherub, anointed Then I was exploited Say what disappointed My Lord and excited Thy grief? My name is “Bringer of Light” I am the Angel that died And ever since fall of man, oh Lord My demise was a part of Thy plan But I won’t die again!

You are the might – you are upright you are the last horde that is standing go and forge ahead the world decays – you keep your faith you're like an army that's defending your ideals against the mad I do still remember once when it began denim, skulls and leather, long hair and pentagrams cartridge belts and rivet, the crowds were not to tame and when we were together the anger in our veigns made us stand up stand up Our believe is plain to see don't hide your identity 6-6-6 – the spirit's strong, ouh! proof where you belong show them where you stand reveal who you are come on and raise your hands for the Mano – Mano – Mano Cornuta Ordinary posers obey to fashion trends use the devil's sign but they don't understand a tattoo makes no rebel but faceless common fools copycat our hallmarks without the attitude to stand up stand up Our believe is plain to see don't hide your identity 6-6-6 – the spirit's strong, ouh! proof where you belong show them where you stand reveal who you are come on and raise your hands for the Mano – Mano – Mano Cornuta

Did you call my name in an old satanic rite? Do you ask me to appear in a full moon winter night? Summon me, heretic I will have to rise to you from the dark nether regions to the hell that you subdue Why don't you leave me home, leave me home back into the fire don't evoke the evil to serve you with your sins Why don't you leave me home, leave me home back into the fire no need to call the demon you keep it deep within You can call me Antichrist but compared to all your lies and your malevolence I have no chance to be as cruel as you Lord it was thy worst mistake to seperate the men from ape and to give them mind, for their only kind is ruin, war and hate Why don't you leave me home, leave me home back into the fire don't evoke the evil to serve you with your sins Why don't you leave me home, leave me home back into the fire no need to call the demon you keep it deep within

Keep an eye on your fellow man see the face and the smile and then Can you judge by the way that it looks if it’ good or if it’s bad? Do you know by the first sight if someone wants to talk or fight Can you feel and reveal the intent inside a persons head Hmm the Evil has no certain trait Oh-oh my demons are not what you’d estimate The discreet Charm of Evil disconcerts your mind The discreet Charm of Evil keeps you dumb and blind The discreet Charm of Evil is rarely plain to see It leads into temptation Deceives you gracefully Hear the speech of your President persuading and eloquent Does he say what he means are his words sincere or just pretence? Is it true what the parson says? Do you trust in his promises? Does the clerk at your bank just misuse your good faith and ignorance? Hmm the Evil has no certain trait Oh-oh my demons are not what you’d estimate The discreet Charm of Evil disconcerts your mind The discreet Charm of Evil keeps you dumb and blind The discreet Charm of Evil is rarely plain to see It leads into temptation Deceives you gracefully Oh-oh-oh Did you think the Antichrist Oh-oh-oh would raise in smoke and ruction? Oh-oh-oh The evil has more faces than Oh-oh-oh Chaos and destruction Take a look inside the mirror and you’ll see the silent Terror The devastating The fascinating Charm of malevolence The discreet Charm of Evil disconcerts your mind The discreet Charm of Evil keeps you dumb and blind The discreet Charm of Evil is rarely plain to see It leads into temptation Deceives you gracefully It leads into temptation Deceives you gracefully

Right now – get down on your knees \| show me your submission resistance is in vain Quiet! Bow! I'm not gonna cease \| the hurt until it's pleasure and joy has become pain You're at my mercy and \| you'll get your punishment what I expect from you is some humility blindfolded, bent and gagged \| you'll suffer countless whacks your head and hands are captive in the pillory You're frightened? - Excited? The time has come to pay for all your sins You're filthy – and guilty confess the dark desires that you keep within And do Penance – Penance Now do Penance – Penance Safe – sane – not consensual trapped inside my dungeon, captured down in Hell There's no salvage from your shame \| no safeword ends the game Your tears are sweeter than the taste of good Champagne You're frightened? - Excited? The time has come to pay for all your sins You're filthy – and guilty confess the dark desires that you keep within And do Penance – Penance Now do Penance – Penance When it's done you relish my embrace and my caress then tears run down your face you realize you're guilty as everyone who lived but appreciate the pardon and the comfort that I give take a rest, recover now, regain your energy for Sankt Velten's kinky treatment will return consistently I may plague you if want or I dissect you if I like I can kill you every dawn and resurrect you in the night You're frightened? - Excited? The time has come to pay for all your sins You're filthy – and guilty confess the dark desires that you keep within And do Penance – Penance Now do Penance – Penance

Here I am masturbating, sit in my office chair Gaze at the detonating of a guerilla’s lair I see a target taken into a sight device Another bomb explodes another victim dies Films of a helmet camera a patrol is attacked A soldier in an ambush is fired in his back I’ve seen the hardest porn but there’s no better thrill Then watching virtual slaughter and suspects being killed I love it, I need it I am addicted to it It’s so sick by one click I get the ultimate kick The corpses, the captives They feed my filthy climax I need some Warporn to relax Warporn – Warporn Warporn – broadcast from Hell Warporn – my joy and spell Again I’m masturbating I’m looking for extremes I watch the excavation of a war crime scene I’ve got a bunch of pictures of naked men in pain Taken by drunken soldiers inside a secret jail I watch the humiliation of some blindfolded guys A man hangs at a ceiling tied up with barbed wire I’ve seen the prettiest girls but it’s really insane Only when I see torture the blood boils in my veins I love it, I need it I am addicted to it It’s so sick by one click I get the ultimate kick The corpses, the captives They feed my filthy climax I need some Warporn to relax Warporn – Warporn Warporn – broadcast from Hell Warporn – my joy and spell

Now you are here, captured in my kingdom lost among sinners in grief and despair time to add up the whole of your misdeeds and find the sentence that you have to bear All your life you struggled for your living worked like a slave from cradle to grave what you have earned is less than you were giving now what is worse? Being in Hell or on Earth? There's no vacation from your damnation there is no escape from here and if you're missing your friends and relations send them postcard souvenirs Postcards from Hell with regards from my realm all the world's gotta face this resort Postcards from Hell where you'll rot and you'll dwell it's your place in the blaze evermore Your final trip will lead you to a landscape of burning lakes gorgeous and picturesque the skies are red, the air is full of sulfur here you will meet with eternalness There's no vacation from your damnation there is no escape from here and if you're missing your friends and relations send them postcard souvenirs Postcards from Hell with regards from my realm all the world's gotta face this resort Postcards from Hell where you'll rot and you'll dwell it's your place in the blaze evermore come face the man's last resort you will burn forevermore your lifetime achievement award it's your place in the blaze evermore

about

The Evil…
… does not appear with noise and in the shape of monsters. The Evil is not violent, loud and evident. The Evil lurks inwardly; it is literate, sophisticated and polite. It smiles at you every day: on the internet, on TV, in the news and in the gazettes.
The real Evil is charming, discreet, subtle and concealed with suits and ties…
