Dust
03:33
|
|||
Make-believe world of pretense and lies
Blind too long to open your eyes
Purged of the image you masquerade
The false society unmade
In the true world the weak are crushed
The meek shall inherit the dust
Inherit the dust
Current of conformity
Swirls about your knees
Undertow drags you down
Weakness forces you to drown
Your cowardly blood turns to rust
The meek shall inherit the dust
Inherit the dust
Crumbling walls of your sheltered life
Seal you in your grave
Never thought it’d be like this on the outside
Or that you’d need to be saved
Dust eclipses the sun
Can no longer hide your face
What you wished to rule
Rules now in your place
Inherit the dust

I walk the razor’s edge
Rinsed by the midnight
Trial by fire
Ancient rite
Anointed in blood
Baptized in flame
Feed on my tears
Stronger I became
Hate you’ve fed me
Cleansing rain
Washed impurity away
In my pain
Ritual purification
Myself the sacrifice
White-hot crucible
Burns away my past
Anointed in blood
Baptized in flame
Feed on my tears
Stronger I became
Hate you’ve fed me
Cleansing rain
Washed impurity away
In my pain
Voices in the darkness call
Spirits walk with me
Teach me to become
The weapon I must be
Whispering their secret
Reforming of the self
Molding of this mortal coil
Wear the shape of wolf
One thousand years I shall run
Tear through metal, flesh, and bone
The forest my citadel
The night my home
To cast down the crimson priests
Burn the heart of oak
To slaughter the brothers
Of the red cloak
No one will hear their cries
They guide my fangs to their soft throats
Rip out the tongue of lies
Blood drenches the scarlet robes
Suck the marrow from the bones
Feed on the gore
Its scent fills my nostrils
Leaves me hungry for more

Font of Putrescence
03:12
|
|||
Rivers of fetid decay—endless
Vermin devour the festering flesh
Streams of filth ever-flowing
Seeds of disease they’re sowing
Host of the unclean
Spewing its venom
From the open sores oozing pus
Font of putrescence
Infested bodies now their hives
Click of the beetles drowns your cries
Enslaved by the faceless hate-kings
Caressed by the tendriled slimy green
Host of the unclean
Spewing its venom
From the broken scab oozing pus
Font of putrescence
Gorge yourself on the poisons
Its slime drips from your smile
Clings to your teeth
Rancid rotting corpse—city

Beneath the Waves
03:29
|
|||
In vast gulfs of unconquered space
Embraced by mother night’s
Primordial cosmic womb
In these voids the elder gods sleep
Licking their wounds
Hiding between realities
Beyond Atlantis’ gate
Beneath the waves
Beyond the stars
Awaken
Siphoning power from the stars
Beyond all mortal sight
To resume past atrocities barely imagined
At the dawn of consciousness
Corrupt power worshipped for aeons
Ancient cults hope to revive
From infernal depths
Awaken the vanquished horde
To channel immortal energies
Swallowed by the earth
Covered by the sea
Folly of pride

Rage
03:39
|
|||
Destructive intention
Psychotic fruition
No question to ponder
Defend your honor
Anger explodes inside
Summon the rage I hide
Blood burns beneath the skin
Unleash the beast within
I can feel the rage within me
You will taste my bitter agony
Cannot stop the hate inside me
I know my rage consumes me
Are you a man or a worm?
What is the lesson you learned?
Vengeance the purpose
Rise to the surface
Lick my wounds with razor steel
Evoke the wrath I feel
Feel the bars of your cage
When will you rage?
I can feel the rage within me
You will taste my bitter agony
Cannot stop the hate inside me
I know my rage consumes me
I am all alone
Within this cell—my mind
Darkness—my home
Fury makes me blind
Vengeance the purpose
Rise to the surface
Feel the bars of your cage
When will you rage?

Necrotic Enchantment
03:18
|
|||
Molding earth is torn asunder
Gravestones crack, roar like thunder
Deserters of the shattered tomb
Rise again to seal your doom
Mindless army
Rising, kills you
Into your corpse
Rotting teeth chew
No more within the earth to rot
Carry out enchanter’s plot
Lies which animate remains
Corrode also the living brains
Decayed flesh
Wormy brains
Spell-bound minds
Sense no pain
Lies which animate remains
Corrode also the living brains
Propagandists hypnotize
Slippery words blind your eyes

Rex Mortis

Arise from the sepulcher / Emerge from the lair
Unholy horror / takes wing on the night air
Thirst and yearning / Raging like flood
Desire so burning / hunger for blood
They hunt in shadow
Through eons unknown
Stalkers in the night
They walk alone
King of death
Pierce the flesh
Bleed to kill
Feed the will
Nosferatu—Rex Mortis
King of death
Pierce the flesh
Bleed to kill
Feed the will
Descendant of shadow / Daemonic angels
Darkness they know / Bellies full of hell
Fangs sink down in / Mortal sangaree
Now to drown in / Crimson ecstasy
They hunt in shadow
Through eons unknown
Stalkers in the night
They walk alone

Revolt
04:24
|
|||
Humanity corrodes
Parasite denied
Blinded with vice
And misplaced pride
Ebon dawn casting rays of black upon the earth
Humanity corrodes
Strength of one million voices summoning the dark
Remake the flesh
New order of chaos
Vengeance we seek
Primal law protected
Weed out the weak
Humanity corrodes
Parasite denied
Blinded with vice
And misplaced pride
Seeking dominion raining vitriol from the skies
Humanity corrodes
You cannot engulf the hate that burns within my eyes
Remake the flesh
Shifting shapes
Remake the flesh
In the image of rage
Bringer of death
Seeking dominion raining vitriol from the skies
Humanity corrodes
You cannot engulf the hate that burns within my eyes
Remake the flesh

Twilight
07:05
|
|||
The bleeding sun drips downward
Drenching the dust of hollow screams
Feel my senses reborn as I fall
Into this world of dreams
Twisting and turning and fading away
Endless haze / Ethereal maze
I see, I hear, I touch the surreal
Arcane secret now revealed
Swirling mist shrinks and swells
Break away from my shell
Through countless worlds unseen
I travel on in timeless trance
In realms of truth and madness
Shadows flow in ageless dance
Flying and drifting in twilight’s abyss
Endless haze / Ethereal maze
I see, I hear, I touch the surreal
Arcane secret now revealed
Swirling mist shrinks and swells
Break away from my shell
