Walk forth to the funeral pyres The toll of souls Climbs higher and higher, I won't bite my tongue Bring your sorrows and your hatred on my soil I'll build my stronghold and my phalanx Now I tell you Μολὼν λαβέ Bring it Mολὼν λαβέ Bear witness Our triumph is your failure Strength within our walls of shields Fall from grace and arm your carcass Let it be written, let it be done Break your word, the judas kiss on wood Break my bones and crack my skull, 1 9 7 4 Feed the herd, impose your word of time Spill the blood of innocents, Spurring malevolence, bury the benevolence Walk forth into the fire Your sanity fails Your judgment defies you, tides will turn and drown you Bring your sorrows and your hatred on my soil We'll build our stronghold with your corpses Now I tell you Μολὼν λαβέ Bring it Mολὼν λαβέ Bear witness We fear not death’s black shadow Embrace us grotesque and hallowed Fall in place, disarm your carcass So it is written, let it be done Deprivation, roll in the tanks and bury the cradle Mutilation, depravity haunting the weak Occupation, the blood of the earth, the tears of a nation Confiscation, 1 6 1 9 hollow graves Blood on their hands, mercy fails the serpent Tears in their eyes, misery fills the servant Scorched-earth tyranny, the irony that buries the light No hope remains, but we stand here and fight We’re lions to lambs Our sons our very walls Etched in these gates are the terms of my fall We're lions to lambs Ares is lord, no fear of gold Rooted like oaks πάν μέτρον άριστον Death, war, pain for vanity, theocratic tyranny Red for green for gluttony, greed monopoly Our triumph is your failure, strength within our walls of shelter Fall from grace and arm your carcass, let it be written let it be done United we stand Divided we fall The enemies land We assemble the wall

Shall I hide from them what I'm to do? The cry of filth so great, I must walk to know and judge Ask me then, ask me now Will I spare this hate for 50 in its midst? Bow down, the wings have come Now at night, the swine are out to play Who you call you Lot and say, let us know these men of mystery Stricken blind, eyes and mind, there's filth outside your door Lock them in and walk away, we'll burn this city down Bow down, the wings have come Bow down, the wings have come Eyes wide shut (don't turn around) Dust and ash (don't turn around) Wings have come (don't turn around) Do not turn around, we'll burn this city down! Now, burn this city down! Behold your punishment (don't turn around) Sulphur falls and wills your end I will cease this filth (don't turn around) Your guilt, the plague for eternity Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise? Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise? Do you feel alive, surrounded by fruits of unknown pain? Walk away or you will burn Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise? Tell me Lord, when will the sun rise?

Thermite 05:33
End of days, armed and ready A programmed maze A choking grip constraining We are machine creators A false illusion, stripped of all the dignities That make hearts linger Restless spirits serve as our guarantees Artificial minds, immortalized in cryptic code Persistent battles of man Scheming of the ways, Hardened by these soulless wins Eclipsed and set ablaze Their forms eternal Don’t dispraise, this pack of nightfall raiders Sights lined up, flares alight, pick your fight and scrap metal Techno saints, pre-ordained, neodymium ghost Adrenaline, odds levelling, this format must be built in The next in line, inherit our war crimes Intertwined, the future’s gone and left us behind Intertwined, the future’s gone and left us behind Singularity’s fated Despite this stronghold Luminaries, adversaries Scheming of the ways, Hardened by these soulless wins Dismissed and torn away Their forms eternal

Lair of Hela 03:42
Call out to the Odinson Run Strength of a fallen god, I crush my enemies With Hercules-ease, bringing demons to their knees Leaving them stone-cold like Medusa went and got them Freezing them with a hold choking medulla-oblongatas Trapping all these souls, I'm stacking them in control It's blackening this hole, got the whole world sold To this heart of the darkness, we just watch from a locked fence But I'm tired of being locked in and now there's no stopping Take the catastrophes and feed them to hellspawn Carry them back to the source where they came from And judgment will pass with this metal hammer As I swing it and it crashes, killing their masters Can you see me Descending from the skies to rid you of your lies Can you feel me The hammer of the thunder god to crush your life, no remorse Call home the Lair of Hela Wandering and blackened souls are unforgiven Call out to the Odinson Hope to give your life for another Take'em all, break'em all, slay'em all, kill'em all Let it be known of the hit of the hammer Then take them in, saving them, waking them, teaching them, Purify the loss, help them find the truth Tales through the ages hold messages of peace I deliver chapters, pages I speak Melting from their hearts, gone is the iron mask Ripped from the axis of evil's deadly grasp Here and forever justice is held In the grip of my hand tyranny fell My path to immortality happens to be gradually Blackening me to depths the heavens will never accept Can you see me Descending from the skies to rid you of your lies Can you feel me The hammer of the thunder god to crush your life, no remorse Call home the Lair of Hela Wandering and blackened souls are unforgiven Call out to the Odinson Hope to give your life for another Call home to the Lair of Hela Call out to the Odinson Call home to the Lair of Hela Call out to the Odinson Call home, the Lair of Hela Call out to the Odinson Call home the Lair of Hela Call out to the Odinson Can you see me Descending from the skies to rid you of your lies Can you feel me The hammer of the thunder god to crush your life, no remorse Call home the Lair of Hela Wandering and blackened souls are unforgiven Call out to the Odinson Hope to give your life for another

All treacherous, all for now, none forever, These ethereal shrines of flesh Sin abundant, glory sought on earth alone, buried in eternity From their deliverance, calamity was shunned, arrogant humanity A savior, to baptize the wretched from their death Rise, fall, rise, fall, Make your choice, for you are fallen Praise, blame, praise, blame Make your choice, you may be chosen The end is near, cast aside this path of satan Make your choice, cast aside this filth you pagan Behold! It's here! The second seal of crimson fields While you, revere, the fake messiah, anti-christ And then, we feast, blackened harvest, rotting flesh We then, will die, the sword of famine taking life Desecrated, you burned the house of God Obliterated, blackened souls pillaging Congregated, minions of lucifer Terminated, count your deeds in the pits of hell Rise, fall, rise, fall, Make your choice, for you are fallen Praise, blame, praise, blame Make your choice, you may be chosen The end is near, cast aside this path you walk with satan Make your choice, cast aside this filth you empty pagan Behold! It's here! The second seal of crimsoned fields While you, revere, the fake messiah, anti-christ And then, we feast, blackened harvest, rotting flesh We then, will die, the sword and famine taking life Destroy the city, the end of all will be the flood Seven years of peace, he'll burn the treaty Abomination of desolation, annihilation through rejection The earth will crumble, the sky will fell the stars Hail, fire, tainted with blood, Burning mountains buried by the sea, Poisoned waters cease existence Locusts bring the torment Four steeds extirpate a third

Exodus 05:08
Branches laid bare, turn a new leaf Never too late, all must release, New roots take hold, take hold Take me now You feel alive Surrounded by fruits of unknown pain Golden crowns are calling thee They take you by your hand And force you from deliverance Deliverance to the promised land A crimson river flows With the heads of first-born sons And now their eyes wander in misery Take me now (away from these sins) Subconscious agony in my wake Remnants of war consign to oblivion Break these chains of harrow You feel alive In the fields of the forbidden life A wealth of sin are calling thee They take you by your mind And force you into exodus Deliverance from the promised land Steamrollers crushing homes On the heads of first-born sons And now their eyes wander in misery Take me now (away from these sins) Subconscious agony in my wake Remnants of war consign to oblivion Break these chains of harrow Branches laid bare, turn a new leaf Never too late, all must release, New roots take hold, take hold

Zealots of the enterprise Propagate, Four Minute Men They sow the seeds of victory Through the lunacy of the fool Lies, cries of pain, narcissism (Gratified for a pound of flesh) You are the embodiment of hell (Serve your false gods) Create a divide through peace within Now you glorify the hate And bring us hell on earth You lie We cry They die The lies that perpetuate In the name of all that is good Beneath the hide that emanates peace Lives a soul to fabricate war Lies, cries of pain, narcissism (Satisfied with misery) You are the embodiment of hell (Serve your false gods) Create a divide through peace within Now you glorify the hate And watch the world burn Subjugate the masses now Auscultate the fascists row Subjugate the masses now Auscultate the fascists row

about

'Come and Take' (created and titled as MOLON LABE in Greek) is the second installment of Private Government, and is an album that brings together various stories that conclude to one unavoidable truth; man will never change.

An album that is displayed against the backdrop of Miltiadis Kyvernitis' Greek-Cypriot roots and has taken 9 years to complete, 'Come and Take' tells tales of political, theological and sociological nature that reflect on the bleak and polarized future that mankind now lives in while also reflecting on hope, the driving force behind human endeavor. The intensity of the lyrical and vocal performances are accompanied by unique progressive/metalcore and deathcore guitar riffs, heavy synths, fusion-metal bass performances and syncopated drum performances. The individuality of each track stems through the eclectic line-up of guest musicians from a wide variety of musical backgrounds that showcase the diversity of the music scene in the United Arab Emirates.

A limited-edition Digipak version transforms this album into a concept album that includes segues after each track from beginning to end, as well as uniquely-developed artwork and a Private Government guitar pick.

This entire project is proudly produced in the United Arab Emirates.
