Slaughter 01:54
This is the end

Years beyond the grasp of man A conscience weighed a heavy decision In one hand, the power to save them In the other, will lie their damnation These beings that I have created Live a life of greed and hatred Is it true? All potential wasted! Ignorant their demise awaited I know of what beauty lies within The problem is, they kill and destroy Decisions have to be made Oh, they deserve to die No, they deserve a chance to prove to us that they can thrive Coexist or descend Either way it doesn't matter What's the verdict? Poison the lands to the core? May they listen to the voices set to warn them of chaos which cannot be unheard Destroy mankind from this earth May they breathe no more Exterminate The ignorance of man Leaves them begging for survival Nay they have the heart and willingness to learn Such a vile race Such potential Leave them with no hope Adapt or dissolve Symbiosis Lost to madness But if they survive… Kill Madness spawning panic They are the plague that consumes everything in sight Disgust I would have had this world burned, erased Disgraced, before the eyes of creation They’ve doomed themselves Years beyond the grasp of man A conscience weighed, a heavy decision In one hand, the power to save them In the other, will lie their damnation I see reasons to erase life I see potential Looming evil digs its teeth in Consuming life in its wake

Jealous, I cannot help but feel as if I’m cheated How could the life of one man mean so much more than mine Reverence and overflowing riches, power endless Oh, how I long to feel the power deep inside of you Destiny has written of the ones who come to claim all human life Overwhelming power and by his might life will crumble A god amongst men Superior I forge the new age of being My immortal rise induces grieving Look into my eyes as your soul is leaving Devoured alive, all hope is fleeting No remorse, left this day This power is mine You’ll never be saved Taking what’s mine Unholy divine Eating the body of God Feast on thy flesh Plotting to take the life of the righteous My knife aches for the blood inside Deadly intentions overwhelming me to be the catalyst of your demise No more disciples No more worship Trying to decipher a meaning to all of this No more, the savior No more, Holy Ghost Impending darkness Arisen from a mortal mind All hail the darkest of trials The mortal ways are lost in the piles of bodies and unholy guiles Now rotting while their souls are defiled Innocence is a long-lost concept No lambs will ever turn to lions I demand the utmost respect If you wish to live your lifeless lie I forge the new age of being My immortal rise induces grieving Look into my eyes as your soul is leaving Devoured alive, all hope is fleeting No remorse, left this day This power is mine You’ll never be saved Taking what’s mine Unholy Divine Eating the body of God I’m taking what's mine Unholy divine Eating the body of God

Effulgence 02:56
Standing before the gallows, she cries for mercy A mob of sick tortured souls all yell and cheer below There’s no escaping this, they’ve made their minds up Her curse begins to mold as the noose takes hold Snapping vertebrae She rises with the moonlight In the eyes of man, what is different must first die Her dreams, desires crushed by fathers, sons and brother kin An age is born Rest assured she senses the fall of man The day has come, she need not to kneel ever again Follow me into this abyss By winter’s bone She will grip you tightly as we burn below Hell, now below awaits you Where she’s been waiting You’ll pay atonement with your wretched soul Crawl from shadows Creeping Contorting and grotesque visions will haunt you Forever Crying out She pled for mercy Her deafened cries unanswered Darkest spawn of the divine feminine Teeth sunk into the hearts of man Taken by her illustrious Dance of cryptic elegance Cursed hexes left behind Whispers creep up and down the spine A soul to keep Revenge entwined, and with the moon her blight will rise Follow me into this abyss By winter’s bone She will grip you tightly as we burn below Hell, now below awaits you Where she’s been waiting You’ll pay atonement with your wretched soul Crying out She rises with the moon

Vengeance 03:25
This is how to get away with vengeance Did you think you'd get away with this betrayal? Now you’ll face the consequences of your ways Such a righteous night to meet your plight Your skull intact No, that’s not right I want to crush it Just enough so you survive To comprehend this suffering Bludgeoning No one deserves anything Your choices have deemed you unworthy of extremities It’s been a dream of mine to chop you into all these tiny pieces To hold your heart until the beating ceases I’ll take your head and hold it as a trophy No remorse for the hatred that you showed me No remorse for the hatred that you showed me I’ll take your head and hold it as trophy Bleed Draining Blood It flows so tranquil Far beyond the realms of sin I’ll take you to the edge of affliction I’ll let your life hang by a thread Take this hate and bury it within you Ringing in my head is every little thing you ever said You realize I gave you everything you asked and even more Who’s to say what you deserve? How can you replace the hurt? Revocation cannot save your predetermined fate It’s more than just your face in which I’d like to break Take a fucking look at yourself Especially after I am done with you Take a look At yourself after all I put you through I know that you Wish for sweet release Far beyond the realms of sin I’ll take you to the edge of affliction I’ll let your life hang by a thread Take this hate and bury it Within us all lies the decision To embrace the evils within ourselves Or will your life be wasted? As we meet the end of time Your life is mine Vengeance is all I seek Bathed in blood, you’re dead to me Shrouded in nothingness Watch as the life that you love Now in fades in the dark and I sink deep further from sanity Righteous and content bathed in vengeance

Gutless 01:57
Weakness It’s all my eyes can see It writhes in the depths Inside of you and me It comes in many forms and one day you will see That this world’s an ugly place feeding off the weak This world’s an ugly place feeding off the weak This world’s at war with us Your future’s bleak Show some spine you gutless fuck As your body’s engulfed by a crippling deformity Your bones creak, your lungs heave Do you know how weak you fucking look now? What I would give to take these hands and break your fucking face Crushed by the weight of your psyche How easy it is to make your life fucking hell Run while you can bitch, ‘cause I will find you and I will fucking end this Malicious with no heed Merciless I’ll beat you down So don’t you fucking try me This world’s at war with all of us Gutless and Afraid You will break Gutless waste Look me in the face Gutless waste You will break Gutless

Numb to the feeling Trapped in monochromia An endless decay, in utter dismay I cannot help but ask, when did this world turn cold? Or has my life left me freezing? Oh, the warmth you know Will leave you frozen cold In place a burning hate for the love you used to hold Burning away, the colours all fade Legends have foretold of the all-consuming Great grey flame Bow in its aura It leeches of the living and feeds on their horror Gaze in the great grey flame It’s feeding on the living Consuming everything Longing to feel something Anything to end this sickness I reach in the flames My flesh burns I feel nothing Burn my body I can’t feel a fucking thing Burn my body I can’t feel a fucking thing I ache to feel something more Passively passing life by It’s like I decided a long time ago This pain is my pleasure, and I cannot let go Void of all feeling Numb to this wretched core Drained of all colour I ache to feel something more I can’t tell if I’ve left this world Or when the flames engulfed me fully Visions all grey Nothings the same I wonder if this life can change What I’d give to feel something Will I escape this numbness? Will I ever become complete? Numb to the feeling This disease of mind Manifested into patterns of all my passions, dreams and fire Eroding in the shadows Hand in hand embraced by sickness Entombed in gloom consumed by bleakness Oh, I fear the worst is coming The ache is numbing The flames keep coming Bow in its aura It leeches of the living and feeds on their horror Gaze in the great grey flame It’s feeding on the living Consuming everything Dissolving my body I feel it taking everything Happiness is stripped away I’m numb to all feeling Consumed by the great grey flame

Breathing is more like heavy wheezing Your pain is what has left me freezing I hoped that one day I could take all the pain that you held deep I would trade my life for yours Just to hear your heart beating again and again What I would give to see the heartache all end What I would trade to save us from this dead end The reapers grip is tight, but we won’t give in If I could suffer for you I would take all the pain you’ve ever been through Without a second thought, I’d never look back I’d trade my soul for yours, immersed in the black Hopeful I sink into overwhelming happiness I long to see you, in another time or in another place I’m just happy that I was blessed with your grace For so many years I watched as you wept Unable to help I couldn’t accept Death’s breath on your neck The weight on your chest collapsing within To hell I’d have leapt to save you from pain To hell I would have leapt to see you again I would have leapt A soulless life is bittersweet Trade me yours and you shall reap Reap It’s the fear that feeds us Pushed to the precipice Mind is enemy Don’t you see that life is precious Wasting away Wasted away You fucking sicken me I have searched for days in the blackened haze Innocence means nothing to the cruelness we call death In another way, make the most or death will take you What I would I give to hear your voice again I’d take this knife and slit my own throat What I would give to feel your touch again I’d take this gun, cock it back and pull Please lend me all your pain So, I can take it to the grave In solace I could leave As you flourish triumphantly Carry this torch for me Light your way from misery If I could suffer for you I would take all the pain you’ve ever been through Without a second thought, I’d never look back I’d trade my soul for yours, immersed in the black Hopeful I sink into overwhelming happiness I long to see you, in another time or in another place I’m just happy that I was blessed with your grace

Dominance manifested, You make me fucking sick Your life defined by justified discrimination Cesspool of scum, you make me ashamed to be human Oppressive control Aimed at the minority Power disease, you bring them to their knees Cesspool of scum, you make me ashamed to be human Unsettled when the lights are flashing red and blue You've long lost my faith Get fucked You buried our justice in the graves out back Power abuser Fuck you Zipped up in a body bag is the rightful place for fucking scum like you Punish One Maggot too many in the pig pen This is when Suffering ends Now the tables have turned, and everyone can see This is the final sentence, Kill the power freaks Stack the bodies

Lazarus 03:41
I awaken to the urge to feast on what’s in front of me Fleeting emotions Malicious intent, is overwhelming me Creeping, I ache for the taste of flesh against my lips I want to kill it’s all I feel The taste of flesh for my next meal I can’t decide on what is real I think my skin’s beginning to peal Rotting from the inside out My heads a mess, I’m full of doubt Rotting from the inside out My heads a mess, I’m full of doubt Rotting from the inside out My heads a mess I’m full of doubt Rotting from the inside Please set me free Death’s hold is tight and oh so cold It’s such a lonely road I long to feel human again Ripping and tearing and breaking and feasting As I plunge my fingers deep inside the chest Ripping organs from the gaping cavity I can’t help but feel a sense of sympathy For the poor soul lying dead in front of me This life I once held close Has left its vessel with no host Just a shell with no pulse Oh, how I wish I made the most of this life I used to know Now my memories fade below, and happiness just slips away Much like the sunset of the day Insatiable hunger never to end Woeful I am sentient Please set me free Death’s hold is tight and oh so cold It’s such a lonely road I long to feel human again Death’s hold is tight and oh so cold I long to feel human again I long to feel human again

The Weight 04:18
Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony, I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Panic grows inside my soul Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Such panic growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I’m losing control Powerless the pressure testing how much weight that I can hold Always on the edge of drowning Never taught myself to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Like Icarus I’ve flown too close Sick to the soul This weight keeps haunting me I think I’ve lost control Daily the pressure grows and builds in me Put on a pedestal for everyone to judge and see This weight is breaking me down Into a fraction of a person that I dreamed to be This pressure’s such a burden If you could only see the horrors dwelling in my mind This pressure’s such a burden Heavy is the head of the ones who bear the crown Crushed to death by the weight of a thousand worlds Dragging my corpse By my fingers scrapped to the bone Pressure grows inside us all Sickened by sorrow left empty and cold Pressure growing inside my soul A headspace so heavy I’ve lost all control Powerless, the pressure testing how much weight that we can hold Always on the edge of drowning, never taught ourselves to float Falling Flying is a fleeting feeling Frail are the fractures inside ourselves Weakened by the daily strains No one hears the cries for help Hollow shell Trembling Struggling to raise this weight Always forcing down on me A fraction of what used to be Crushed by the weight of eternity Screaming out Won’t you please? Someone help me lift this weight All this pressure’s killing me Burdened by the weight of a thousand worlds My legs begin to break They snap and bring me down to my knees When did I become this way? In agony, I crawl onward Crushed to dust like the soul inside Struggling to raise this weight Struggling to raise this weight Struggling

Exit Signs 03:32
Desolate we wander slowly Weighted shackles digging deep In misery we bloom or wither Inside us our demon’s creep Blinded by our inner thoughts Pain and pleasure crossing lines Driven by what’s in our hearts We seem to miss all the signs Crying out we beg for an escape I can’t help but tell myself that it’s too late My eyes are blind to the signs Deep within the mind It’s like we’ve lost all sense of time Buried beneath The mind unravels and unwinds Racing, my heart rate heightened I start to panic now I can’t recall when this had happened or the spiral down Falling faster into this hell I wonder if I did this? Or if this path was already set in stone? The fear of being free is blinding Hope entwined in misery There seems to be no end Yet on the escape I long for I dig myself deeper Spiral into this sickness Let it dance and like a dream Buried beneath the weight Your mind is now unravelling Writhing in agony I seem to miss all the signs Blinded, I cannot see that I could leave at anytime This will be the grave in which you find yourself And I will be the one to pull you down Your life of ignorance and arrogance will catch up to you If you can live life blind, then you must not cry Let it devour you I can’t survive like this Get me out Just let me be free Racing, my heart rate heightened I start to panic now I can’t recall when this had happened or the spiral down Falling faster into this hell I wonder if I did this Or if this path was already set in stone The fear of being free is blinding Hope entwined in misery There seems to be no end Yet on the escape I long for I dig myself deeper Slipping away like the sand between my fingertips The exits all pass Like an endless nightmare I’m bound for oblivion Desolate we wander slowly Weighted shackles digging deep In misery we bloom or wither Inside us our demons creep Blinded by our inner thoughts Pain and pleasure crossing lines Driven by what’s in our hearts We seem to miss all the signs
