Behold...A desolate nation
Poisoned minds for fodder
Blindly led to the slaughter
Serpents...assuming human form
Like a virus spreading disease
Bringing the world to it's knees
Chorus:
In depths
Unknown by mortal men
A prophecy fulfilled
Condemned
To suffer endlessly
The truth becomes deceit
Humans obsolete
Deceived...illusions of freedom
Enslaved through a promise
By a tongue speaking dishonest
Stricken...the wound is getting worse
Vital signs begin to fade
Like christ we've all been betrayed
Repeat Chorus
Coiled...unstoppable evil
Imminent reality
Existing in totality
Venom...debilitating life
A nest of misanthrope
Abolishment of hope
Repeat chorus

Hanging From A Noose
03:59
|
|||
Pathetic excuse of human life
Condemned from the moment of birth
Tapped into the vein a symbiotic host
A slave at the beckon of a vile parasite
Sedated on the ground
Slipping from your sanity
Apparitions haunt you
Synthetic agony
Chorus:(Repeat twice)
Left to die inside your mind
Strangled by your addiction
To walk the line between life and death
Hanging...hanging from a noose
Enslaved by the vein
It slowly decays the brain
Voices begin to stir
Your memory is a blur
Dreamt delusional dreams
From withing a silent scream
Self-inflicted scars
Carved with broken shards
Repeat Chorus

Prophetic Deceiver
03:32
|
|||
These eyes can see you into a realm
Where the lines of time align
Past, present, future
My hands alone they hold the key
To the secrets of eternity
Take me at my word
These eyes can see the storm to come
That will claim the first born son
Beginning and the end
My hands posses all the knowledge
To keep us from the edge
Take me at my word
Prophetic Deceiver x 4
Prophetic Deceiver x 4
Something wicked this way comes

Exile From Flesh
04:25
|
|||
Oblivious to the frailties
Inherent in our design
The lives we live on borrowed time
Are ripped away without a rhyme\
Propensity to perish
Annexation of dismay
The bane of our deficiencies
Through imperfect symmetry
Chorus:
Life's only certainty
A morbid guarantee
Exile...from flesh
Exile...from flesh
Exile...from...flesh
The heart will cease to beat
Oxygen will deplete
Repeat Chorus
When we die we're taken off
And then we are embalmed
Led to our final resting place
Six feet underground
There exist no immortal
No undying entities
Sustinent efforts in vein
Dealt beyond the agony of pain
Repeat chorus

Critical Stasis
03:50
|
|||
Catatonic Stares of one thousand eyes
A harvest of screams, a deafening sound arise
Scarified tissue vestige of a terminal scourge
Suffering within the disease and soul coverge
Chorus:
Grinning at the scene
Feeding off the weak
Refusing to pull the plug
Successors of debility
Built upon infirmity
The dead are kept alive
Anesthetic agents keep the sick comatose
Lifeless yet alert millimeters from an overdose
As the cancer spreads they are stabilized by their vaccines
Excessive surgeries preventing death by any means
Repeat Chorus
Critical Stasis - Crime to euthanize
Critical Stasis - Life dehuminized

The Final Form
02:48
|
|||
Bio-duplication of a
Perfect genetic specimen
Xenomorphic endoskeleton
Horrific experiment
Chorus:
Breath after breath
Death after death
Kneel before
The Final Form
Unstoppable creation
The endless pursuit of pain
Multitudes of death ensue
The task to dominate
Repeat chorus
Engineered to attack voracious disposition
The sum of playing god a mistake in evolution
Void of atrophy the embodiment of immortality
Like a hydra's head strengthened by each fatality
Bio-duplication of a
Perfect genetic specimen
Xenomorphic endoskeleton
Horrific experiment
Repeat Chorus
|

Sacrilege
04:55
|
|||
Accused of treason and heresy
By the coven who rule the papacy
Repudiated deep seated beliefs
Exhausted patience of their decrees
Chorus 1:
You're preached of acceptance
But taught with irreverance
Sentenced to an infernal
Amercement eternal
Without a trace you're laid to rest
A martyr slain at their behest
Cathedrals of fear erected in faith
A symbolic crypt to entomb the wraith
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
Sacrilege x 3
Severed tongues and names erased
Lessons to threaten the profane
Freedom of thought an illicit deed
Handed down by the hypocrisy
Repeat Chorus 2

Cosmic Collapse
06:23
|
|||
Improbable anomaly a day thought to never come
The prophets told but were ignored now to the sun we will succumb
Accompanied by space debris the ruination is at hand
Absent minded to this terror aberration we can't withstand
The sky will turn to red from the exposure of the sun
The ozone will melt away then the damage will be done
Chorus:
Cosmic Collapse
Mortal coil burned
Life continues to burn
Cosmic Collapse
No where to turn
Life continues to burn
When the earth has been burnt to a crisp and implodes from within
The universe will follow suit in a volatile chain
Force that has no control as with life it will bring death
Repeat Chorus
We were blind to see beyond
The writing on the wall
We helped to accelerate
The end that's come to soon
There will be no life left
After the implosion
What we believed of the afterlife
Will soon be justified
All we knew all we lived
Will never be retold

Pulse Of Terror (2014)
04:30
|
|||
Paroxysm...an edifice erupted in the blink of an eye
Catalyst...igniting the flame of a tomb yet conceived
Suffocate...strangled by the smoke of this horrid sepulcher
Asphyxiate...stifled on the ground until you're pummeled to a pulp
A choir of cadavers yet to be deceased
Singing to the tune of their own misery
A nightmare that was ripped out straight from your dreams
And then it was turned into a living hell
Chorus: (repeat twice)
Death unleashed terrorized
People dying instantly
Charred remains skeletal waste
Death in vein
Vesicate...the skin rises, blisters, and then falls of the bone
Cauterized...trapped in a crypt where they'll all incrimate
Volatile...the air that they breath incinerates their insides
Suicide...leaping to their fate to escape this crematorium
Repeat Chrous Twice
Paralyzed on the ground
The fire feels like a thousand needles poking you at once
An effigy for all to see
Their eyes over swollen in and out of consciousness
Debris consumed the epicenter
Death begins to spread at an epidemic pace
Ironically bodies burn
Their wish to be cremated has become reality
