PAGANS RISING Open your doors to the gates of hell Gates of hell Held to the shadows and a storm within Manifested lies, community insane Bound into the brutal scenes of a dark history Break the silence, join the force, we´re breaking free You burned, you died For someone else´s lies Now the time is here When all the fallen souls will rise Free and here, see the pagans rising Free from gates of hell, Gates of hell Ravens fly, see the pagans rising Free from the gates of hell Glory of the power-mad men, disintegrated faith Forces will demand redress as we´re crawling back from hell You burned, you died For someone else´s lies Now the time is here When all the fallen souls will rise Free and here, see the pagans rising Free from gates of hell Gates of hell Ravens fly, see the pagans rising Free from the gates of hell Open your doors to the gates of hell See us rise You see the pagans rising You see the ravens fly Forces free and here See the pagans rising Free from gates of hell Gates of hell Ravens fly, see the pagans rising Free from the gates of hell The gates of hell See the pagans rising Open your doors to the gates of hell

STIGMA DIABOLI So it´s time to hide The hunt begins right here for the mark Stigma Diaboli The trial, the denial will never be enough to prove my innocence Now I run Run, I´m running faster than I have ever done Hide, hiding in the shadows where I cannot be found Where´s my shelter in this storm when I have nowhere else to go Stigma Diaboli, Stigma Diaboli Run, Now I run My imperfections will match your only wish to convict me I see my sun begins to fade. Run, I´m running faster than I have ever done Where´s my shelter in this storm when I have nowhere else to go Stigma Diaboli, Stigma Diaboli Run, Now I run Where´s my shelter in this storm when I have nowhere else to go Stigma Diaboli, Stigma Diaboli Run, Now I run

SYMPHONY OF TRAGEDY We tried for so long to walk on by But everything turned into our deepest fear Hear our song through the rustle of the trees No signs of hope now we´re standing here at the gallows end We lost the track of time, there is no way out A river runs wild and untamed A river of eternal pain Bleeding hearts and an ocean of despair Under the sign of the black mark We hear the cries A never ending curse, nothing remains Under the sign of the black mark We hear the melody of agony A symphony of tragedy We lost our lives into this symphony Where the river runs wild, a catastrophe Hear the sighs the mourning sounds of disbelief. No signs of hope now we’re standing here at the gallows end Under the sign of the black mark We hear the cries, A never ending curse, Nothing remains Under the sign of the black mark We hear the melody of agony A symphony of tragedy Under the sign of the black mark We lost our track of time, there is no way out We lost our sight, having nowhere to go Under the sign of the black mark We hear the melody of agony A melody of agony Under the sign of the black mark We hear the melody of agony A symphony of tragedy

BLASPHEMY 04:54
BLASPHEMY The dark hooded men sweeps across this land Claiming to be on a mission and from heaven sent Raising the crosses up into the sky Questioning the masses They need someone , someone to blame I hear my name Gathering by the lake, to seal my fate Blasphemy they believe that they are god sent On a holy mission to preach and protect Gathering the masses by the lake Within his name they´re screaming You shall not suffer a witch to live Blasphemy The crowd hunting me I beg for mercy and show me sanity in every path we take Raising the crosses up into the sky Questioning the masses They need someone, someone to blame I hear my name Blasphemy they believe they are god sent On a holy mission to preach and protect Gathering the masses by the lake Within his name they´re screaming You shall not suffer a witch to live Forcing me into the water with this thin layer of ice I feel the cold water surrounding me while I´m sinking into the deep You shall not suffer a witch to live Blasphemy they believe they are god sent On a holy mission to preach and protect Gathering the masses by the lake Within his name they´re screaming You shall not suffer a witch to live Blasphemy

DARK STORM There´s a storm coming in It´s getting closer, closer Imagine the loss of innocence How can we see beyond this wall of death Paralyzing fear The great noise is here You can hear the children swear As witnesses they were called To brutally kill them all There´s a storm coming in It´s getting closer, closer There´s a story beginning Can you hear it Dark Storm is here Gathering the crowd, They demonize and sacrifice Can you hear the storm Punished for witchery Convicted for sorcery Can you see The great noise is here You can hear the children swear As witnesses they were called To brutally kill them all There´s a storm coming in It´s getting closer, closer There´s a story beginning Can you hear it Dark Storm is here There´s a storm coming in Dark Storm

MOORFIELD 04:52
MOORFIELD When i´m gone 1674, I´m dragged through the snow Flakes are falling, it is covering my prints My feet are numb from the cold ground Still trying to walk towards my destiny I will be free from misery Vibrating higher and my last wish is Someone, remember me When I´m gone Someone, reflect upon my destiny Is this my time here on earth Can someone remember me When I´m gone Out on the moorfield With all my sisters here You show no mercy Anguish turns me inside out I will be free from misery Vibrating higher and my last wish is Someone, remember me When I´m gone Someone, reflect upon my destiny Is this my time here on earth Can someone remember me When I´m gone Your heresy and contempt for god Leaves you standing here On your bleeding knees The laws of god has spoken This is your destiny Soon Your blackened souls will be Cast out of this world Someone, remember me When I´m gone Someone, reflect upon my destiny Is this my time here on earth Can someone remember me When I´m gone When I´m…

HEXED – The Swedish Symphonic Progressive Metal band is back with their second album “Pagans Rising”. Along with the powerful lead vocals of Tina Gunnarsson, this theme album definitely has great songwriting mixed with strong choruses and male growl. It´s a perfect blend of spellbinding guitar melodies, chugging riffs, dark symphonic orchestrations and progressive elements. It has been written with inspiration and history of Sweden’s witch-hunting hysteria in the late 17th century. Behind the unique sound of this masterpiece is the talented mixing/mastering engineer Ronnie Björnström. (Sorcerer, Meshuggah, Aeon etc.) This release is a much heavier and darker version of HEXED.
