1.	Martyr For Nothing 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Martyr for Nothing We are scarred Scarred by lies Limited And rushed to death No way out No fucking way out This heart shakes From your weight The cord constricts And never breaks A life soaked in blood With guilt since birth CH – Stand on the right hand Fear of the left hand Stand on the right hand Fear of the left hand They walled you up The cancer grew Defining lies Chained our minds No way out No fucking way out CH – Stand on the right hand Fear of the left hand Stand on the right hand Fear of the left hand Fall to your knees When you turn your cheek Martyr For Nothing (x2) The spear in your side The mouth of the lie Stand firm - March forth It’s your turn to die Martyr For Nothing (x4) Left those in wake To bear your mistakes On the backs of the weak You carve your stigmata
2.	No Deus Ex Machina 03:50	lyrics	buy track
No Deus Ex Machina Go ahead and pray to your broken altar Drink the blood and eat the flesh Surrounded by demons, Shadowed by devils Go ahead and pray to your broken altar CH – No Deus Ex Machina Continuously differing to some glorious afterlife Trudging through an onslaught of misery Praying for salvation and Intervention from heaven White knuckles from clenching and sores from kneeling CH – No Deus Ex Machina On your death bed gazing into the night No gods to save you from this nightmare Only a cold grave and endless regret No stars to guide you no saving light CH – NO Deus Ex Machina Dead In Your Grave

Christ Killer Head of horns and born of thorns Years of war have burned my bones These dead hands can heal no more This head of death and pain and war Kill the Christ Child Thousand years in a grave Shook awake by insect slaves The time has come to spread black wings And right the world from wrongs of faith Murder the Shit God CH - Crucified upon arrival Life support by holy bible Assassinate Jesus And his empire falls Burn angel corpses Armageddon for heaven Murder the Shit Christ CH - Crucified upon arrival Life support by holy bible Christ Killer Murder the Shit God

Incantation Witches in circle Scream to the flames Watch the shadows bend Dementia dance begins Incantation (x4) CH – The churches will burn Christians will die The end of dogma The end of dogma Sacrifice on the altar The skeletons smile With the thrust of the dagger The Rain turns to blood Incantation (x4) CH – The churches will burn Christians will die The end of dogma The end of dogma Unholy ritual Knock the scales from our eyes The cross will come down Death Punx will rise Incantation (x4) CH – The churches will burn Christians will die The end of dogma The end of dogma
5.	Relentless Drone 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Relentless Drone You have nothing to say Static mindless bullshit Your words are worse than hearsay Spoken as if you’re some prophet CH 1 Drone Your relentless drone On and on relentless drone Drone Endless worthless speeches Corruption of sonic space Waste time waste space preaching You still have nothing to say CH 1 Drone Your relentless drone On and on relentless drone Drone CH 2 Relentless drone Speeches constructed and platforms are rammed down The eardrums of the victims around you Speeches are constructed and platforms are rammed down Forsaking the existence of dissenting truth CH 1 Drone Your relentless drone On and on relentless drone Drone You have nothing to say Static mindless bullshit Your words are worse than hearsay Spoken as if you’re some prophet CH 1 Drone Your relentless drone On and on relentless drone Drone Relentless drone
6.	Dogs of War 03:05	lyrics	buy track
Dogs of War Domestic recedes No more given meat We feast upon feces To sharpen our teeth No more must we suffer By laying at your feet Survival of the fittest Among the DOGS OF WAR We’re one with the beast To bleed and to breed We run through the gutters Of violent streets Through red eyes we see All instinct and death We’re all headed home By bristle and bone DOGS OF WAR Run with the pack Watch for the knife in your back So run with the pack With a knife in your back Destroyed by disgust Of your social order DOGS OF WAR Set free from the cage Now it’s blood thirst and lust DOGS OF WAR The streets have become paved By vomit and blood No rules for the damned Come down from above These crumbling cities Are soon crushed to dust Up from the dark Rise the hell-hounds of lust DOGS OF WAR

Rotten Corpse Exhumed and led by my black breath Awake again THE SUN HAS SET Still I live though life has ceased I believed I’D REST IN PEACE Driven to feed – I walk the earth In this death – Life through rotten birth CH- Obedience and prayer has gotten me nowhere Rotten Corpse I walk with an army where darkness is law Rotten Corpse Legions rise screaming from the grave A rotten feast ON THE END OF LIFE Holy light fades from my eyes Heaven is dead AND CHRIST HAS LOST Legions of dead – eat the remains Cleanse the earth – From human filth CH- Obedience and prayer has gotten me nowhere Rotten Corpse I walk with an army where darkness is law Rotten Corpse Suffer Forever Suffer Suffer Forever Suffer Awaken! Arise! Awaken! Rotten Corpse

about

In November we did some first recordings of the new line up in JJ’s basement with the friend who had recorded the Memento Mori rehearsal demo. Around that time we also recorded a practice to listen to the renditions of the older songs as a three piece and also capture the new ones. This recording in the Suburbia rehearsal studios where bands like Poison Idea practiced seldom had a quiet moment. This rehearsal has less pronounced vocals than the November Demo, but the drums are captured far better. These recording capture the bestial beginnings of the definitive line up of Order of the Vulture.

Order of the Vulture was formed in 2003. By the end of the year we had regrouped as a power trio with a new vision of what we wanted to accomplish. Merging D-Beat Crust Punk with the vitriol of Black Metal and riff crushing heaviness of Death Metal into an unholy trinity.
