    Open Wide The Gates Of Hell.. CD
    2016 release with bonus tracks...
    Forged in the fires of Hell, sifted from the ashes of Chicago's underground. From 1989 to the present Funeral Nation has been creating pure anti-Christian metal, with haunting melodies, ear splitting leads and soul crushing lyrics. For over the past two decades Funeral Nation has been the embodiment of old-school metal. " Open Wide The Gates Of Hell " is a punishing compliment to the bands ground breaking debut album " After The Battle "
    Cd comes with a 12 page booklet with lyrics and will contain 5 live bonus tracks...

lyrics

Apocalypse…
SCREAMING UP FROM HELL
THE VOICES CALL TO YOU
AND WHAT LURKS DEEP INSIDE
THAT’S TEARING AT YOUR WOMB
PRISTINE BITCH OF GOD
THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU
BUT GUESS AGAIN THE DEMONS SEED
HAS BEEN PLANTED IN YOUR WOMB

JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE
THIS SEED BEGINS TO SPAWN
AND HELL SHALL OPEN UP AGAIN
AND BRING FORTH HEAVENS FALL

HOODED MEN THAT STALK THE NIGHT
BRING YOU IN FROM THE RAIN
WHO ARE THEY, WHAT DO THEY WANT
AND WHICH GOD DO THEY SERVE

LOCKED INSIDE THE PRISON CELL
YOU BEGIN TO FEEL THE PAIN
THE FEELINGS OF YOUR OWN BIRTH
ARE HAPPENING AGAIN
A SHADOW FORMS UPON THE WALL
AND SCREAMING FILLS THE ROOM
THE DARK IS FALLING ALL AROUND
NOW WHAT WILL YOU DO

EVIL NOW SURROUNDS YOU
NOW WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S GIVEN BIRTH
TO HIS UNHOLY SON

MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
AND NOW WHAT WILL YOU DO
THE REVELATIONS AT HAND
AND IT’S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

NOW RISE ---BRING FORTH THE END
NOW RISE ---SO WE MAY REIGN AGAIN
MY FATE –IS RESTING IN YOUR HANDS
MY LIFE --- WILL NOW BEGIN AGAIN

ANGELS DESCEND FROM THE SKY
DEMONS ASCENDING FROM THEIR CELL
RISE UP AND LEAD US IN TO FIGHT
VICTORIOUS WE’LL RETURN TO HELL

FAITH
YOUR RELIGION
WHAT HAS IT DONE
YOU’LL FALL TO ME
OH HOLY ONE

CURSE
ALL THE LOVE
THAT YOU BESTOW
HATE CANNOT LOSE
TO ONE SO WEAK

HATE IT PREVAILS
LOVE IT NOW FAILS
FEAR NOW IS MINE
DEATH I GIVE TO YOU

THE SEALS BREAK
I SEE THE LIGHT
HELL GLOWS –IN ALL IT’S GLORY

SEE THE SIGN
AND SEE THE WAY
IT’S TIME – IT’S JUDGEMENT DAY

BREAK THE SEALS AND HEAR THE SOUND
THE WORD OF GOD IS ALL AROUND
NOW YOU KNOW THE END OF TIME IS NEAR

YOU SEE YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES
YOU REALIZE IT’S TIME TO DIE
HAVE YOU BEEN A HOLY LITTLE CHILD

THE TRUMPETS SOUND ANGELS SURROUND
YOU’LL BE GONE BEFORE TOO LONG
BUT WILL THEY BE THE ONES TO TAKE YOU HOME

CONTINUALLY THEY PASS YOU BY
AND YOU DON’T KNOW THE REASON WHY
YOUR EVIL LIFE RUNS BY YOUR EYES AGAIN

REMEMBERING THE EVIL RAIN
YOU WITNESS YOUR OWN BIRTH AGAIN
AS HOODED MEN BRING YOU IN FROM THE RAIN

YES IT’S TRUE THE MARKS ON YOU
AND NOW MY PRINCE WHAT WILL YOU DO
THE SEVENTH SIGN DEPENDS ON ONLY YOU

GIVE THE WORD AND I’LL BE GONE
I CAN DEFY THE HOLY LAW
THE FAITH OF HAPPINESS WILL SURELY FALL

NOW I SEE THE MARKS ON ME
AND NOW MY FATHER COMMAND ME
THE SEVENTH SIGN REST ON MY EVIL HEAD

FROM THE NORTH I SEE
HATRED BECKONS ME
FROM THE SOUTH I HEAR
PEOPLE SCREAM IN FEAR

NO I CANNOT FAIL
CREATOR HEAR ME NOW
FOR YOU MADE ME TOO
I AM JUST LIKE YOU

NOW YOU WANT A WAR
NOW FOREVER MORE
SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND
ALL OF THIS IS MINE

THUNDER I HEAR
THE SKY WILL FALL
THE EARTH IS MINE
FAMINE’S MY CALL
I PLAGUE THE EARTH
WITH MY OWN BIRTH
I KNOW IT’S ME
COMING FROM THE RAIN

FOOLS CANNOT SEE
ALL THAT I CAN
FOOLS CANNOT SEE
JUST WHO I AM
SEE AS I SEE
DO AS I DO
FEAR WHAT I AM
BECAUSE I AM YOU
