Embarkation
05:53
|
|||
Coins upon the eyes
Grant you passage free from harm
Raging deathly tides
Haul your soul to hades depths
Incinerated, from flesh to ash
The corpse is set a drift
Embarkation to a realm
Where the living lay not eyes
When life has ceased and all is black
Phantom limbs will drag you down
The soundless throngs of astral hordes
Avert their eyes to your descent
Agape this chasm baring teeth
Devouring so fervently
Sent crashing through ghastly shores
Where you will board charon
Spherically the damned orbit
As you float through frantic seas
Transcending all the images, you've painted of the afterlife
Mournful echoes deafen you
Concurrently the stillness grows
Upon advent, the mariner
Cranes his hand to hoard his toll
Mortal Terminus
You will not see through the fog of this abyss
Mortal Terminus

Principles of Oppression
03:50
|
|||
Shrapnel raining from the sky
A mass inferno breeding, all loss of life
When the iris blackens and the light begins to dim
The choir serenades the dying with one final hymn
Infest
Possess
Oppress
These are the principles of oppression
Whirlwinds of lead and crimson mist
Unrelenting genocide, disguised as peace
Leading sheep to drink from the waters of betrayal
The iron hammer fall upon, the coffin's final nail
Orphaned bodies line the streets
The memories remain
Dead in vain for principles that could not be defined
In chaos tyrants thrive, in our blood they make their name
Inhuman atrocities that we no longer tolerate

Oathbreaker
03:39
|
|||
Born to this world a product of servitude
Indoctrinated in the womb, a nativity so lewd
Sworn is the soul to consecrated vows
Blessed wounds in severed flesh that the saviors endow
Accursed by truth deprivation
Abysmal mind contamination
Enlightenment through heresy
Pull the thread for all to see
Imposed is a life free from all temptation
Exile over amnesty silences inquisition
Shadows eclipse the light of the unknown
A sacrifice promised in the texts carved in stone
Oathbreaker
Disavow the cult that brought you
Noxious misery with antiquated witchery
Oathbreaker
Imperious assault against
The dismal beast
The agony deceased

The Sentencing
05:07
|
|||
Lost in the caverns of eternal guilt
Confined to this unforgiving maze
No light treads beneath a concrete sky
Eye of penance glares, a vicious scourge agaze
Maddened by the screams that deprive of sleep
Insomniac arrest, nightmares made flesh
Parades of horror plague my mind
Screams of disgrace impale my heart
No peace to be made, I'll never rest
In darkness I dwell, as I face the sentencing
A debt collected from beyond the grave
As I drown in the flames of my private hell
Time quickens with every grain of sand
Endless misery is what my fortune tells
Scars form a labyrinth upon my flesh
Bequeathed to me is the suffering of the dead
A torment, that exceeds the fear of dying
Cadaverous winds carry me in death's embrace

Prayers Upon Deaf Ears
04:30
|
|||
You scream inside yourself
To the concerns of no one else
Hopeless, abandoned, left to rot
No sooner can you tie the hangman's knot
When the last tear hits the ground
Will it even make a sound?
Will it even make a sound?
Sewing your hopes to whispered words
As you beg on your knees
Your fortunes knit to uncertainty
No one answers your plees
Prayers upon deaf ears
Prayers upon deaf ears
Solemn in silence
Hope disappears
You search inside yourself
To find a void and nothing else
A black hole chasm, stripped of life
Lost in the construct of the human mind
When the body hits the ground
Will it even make a sound?
Will it even make a sound?

Saneless Antagonist
04:33
|

Saneless antagonist
The vex burning in my eye
Past the point of all resolve, remorse will not apply
Enthralled is my loathing by the stench of your presence
Your name upon an epitaph will acquis my warpath
Forsaken, sanity as failed you
To no extent will my vendetta end
Self-idolatry, a master egotist
Narcissistic policy, conceit the catalyst
Maniacal outlier without a reason "why"
Saneless
Antagonist
You lit the fire of my hatred
Set the world ablaze
Inciting mass hysteria
A formulaic raze
My patience has finally met
The point of no return
To see you hanging from a noose
Is what I yearn
Hope you burn
Toxic drone that's black at heart and hides behind a mask
Dead behind the eyes, an instrument of instinct

Funerary Dawn
06:58
|
|||
Sirens deafens the populace
An assault without warning
Birds of prey on wings of steel
Cruel merchants with death top deal
Beckoned by tainted wisdom
Senseless philosophy Incessant swarms terminate
Onslaught begat of spite and hate
Marching
From the mouth of hell
Adherent drones tasked to slay
Slaughter those who stand in vain
Infantries take center stage,
the eternal massacre
Operatic screams reverberate
Infernal dirge to nauseate
Innocence rendered to its knees
Beneath the sky of fire
Ebon is the cenotaph
That will read your epitaph
Risen
From the mouth of hell
Battalion seething at the helm
Desecrate this unlit realm
Life ascending as you know it
Burned to ash, forced to submit
Animus without end, in blackest night
Tears are falling, blood is spilling
Masses sleeping breathlessly
Hatred without end
Funerary Dawn
