01. Black Valor

We bear the bloodline of the conqueror
Behold this war-scarred coat of arms
Weathered and worn are we
But with an eye ajar we sleep with blade in hand
We're waiting for the call

Join us! Black valor's on our side
Striking with satanic force we'll crust their fabled Christ

Decimated by a whirlwind of insufferable attacks
Impenetrable black phalanx of our unblessed spear and shield
We march upon the enemy with hate, with hate
On this day of victory christian blood will soak these battlefields

The tidings of a war infernal
Destruction of all angelic life
To bear the mark of the pentagram circle reviled

Armageddon's drawing nearer
On the coattails of the end we'll ride
Of death we hath no fear,
Hails! black valor's on our side!
Boundless is unholiness iniquitous our pride
Each man a god unto himself spirit never to die

To the almighty one, unholy bearer of horns
Empower me, flow through my veins
And carry me in war
To the unwavering devoted to the dark
I drink these wines on majesty to you

Do you show the standard of six-hundred sixty sixth
Will your flesh withstand the dawning of apocalypse
Does your will it guide the spear that pierced the martyr's ribs
We will not rest till this rotten planet's black - as pitch

The tidings of a war infernal
Destruction of all angelic life
To bear the mark of the pentagram circle reviled

Brothers! black valor's on our side!
Striking with satanic force we'll crush their fabled Christ
Unhallowed Armageddon's drawing near
Boundless is unholiness of death we hath no fear

02. Necropolis

Father I know that you've witnessed a darkness in me
Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree
I'm but a sad depraved reflection of our inhumanity
The warped exaggeration of the lost and darkest of dreams

Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire
Here now in mankind's bleakest hour

Born of a casket I'm the heir to a corpse
I've eyes that see maggots through the thin flesh they bore
I shall bloody my hands til the last breath be torn from me
So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets
Dead the once feeling part of me

O lord divine please break this silence
Destroy your race of faceless liars

At the edge of existence
We the clays of intention have ripened in your image
Ah the binds of tradition
Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings
City that stands on a million graves
In a world full of hatred to fear enslaved
Countless the dead slaughtered in your name
Not a utter of your voice have you once repaid

No above no below just a man letting go
When all my earthly desire is disowned
No screaming sirens should sound
No revelations profound
Simply lowered into the ground
That's just what I'll be dead in the dirt
So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets
Dead the once feeling park of me

Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire
Here now in mankind's bleakest hour
O lord divine please break this silence
Destroy your race of faceless liars
Necropolis

03. A Selection Unnatural

Born into a life of suffering scientific prodding now beings
Vestigial extremities a twisted mass of skin

It looks a monster but they swear it's human too
Truth is that it could've been me or you
One simple helix misconstrued
The world of science finds it beautiful
The child is deemed a male
And beneath the glowing lights it's grown

Can it feel human love?
No one would waste a drop on such a thing
Eyeless abomination hideously disheartening

Machines inflate its weakened lungs
Sustained by liquid foods
Pinkish throbbing aberration
Anomalous abortion living on

Monitored observed and when it finally passes
Internal organs will be 'splayed to find what therein lies
Unlock the secrets of the spine
Its mysteries will baffle modern medicine for centuries to come

What god will it plead unto
A life spent on display in microscopic detail
X-ray shows with an intestinal maze
The operating theatre awaits

Can it feel human love?
No one would waste a drop on such a thing
Eyeless abomination hideously disheartening

It looks a monster but they swear it's human too
Truth is that it could've been me or you
One simple helix misconstrued

He would look better floating in a jar
Cataloged and carried our this life of hell comes to an end

Monitored observed and when it finally passes
Internal organs will be 'splayed to find what therein lies
Unlock the secrets of the spine
Its mysteries will baffle modern medicine for centuries to come

His sad existence in the gleam of the waiting scalpel
A sick example a selection most unnatural
Illuminating fortune and fragility
We may never know the meaning of its short and torturous life

04. Denounced, Disgraced

Traitor! How you've betrayed our blood
Broken the bond that had set us apart
From this world so unforgiving
Can it be true that I once walked through fires with you
Forced to cut you down just another enemy
The road long fought to victory
Cancerous poisoning anchored by this weakest link
Turn your lying face in utter shame
Denounced, disgraced

We bury you now still while you breathe
Dead as the void that you've left here in me
Deeper and deeper spent memories
Cremating all that would bear your disease
An end is what you wanted, the end is what you'll receive
Onward into battle forever we soldier unflinchingly undying and free

Forced to cut you down just another enemy stripped of immortality
Cancerous poisoning how the smallest violin does sing
As the obituarist cries out your cursed name
Now as the towers fall crumbling at our feet
Lay down your sword you must answer to me

Leper, banished to be
We punish your treason unmercifully
Liar, ears deaf to your pleas
There'll be no remorse - no sympathy. Bleed!

That very blade which lead you to battle in defense of our name
Shall cut a red ring 'round your throat
To little too late the flood waters break
While you've dared to call down the most savage of storms
Violent reprisal written in blood
To so cruelly be made an example of
To so cruelly be made an example of
This is war revenge has been sworn
Ha! As the towers fall crumbling at your feet
Lay down your sword you must answer to me
Now! Impaled pariah disown your majesty
Your grave been not welcome here amidst the halls of elite

05. Christ Deformed

Wolves beset this fallen church of blasphemy
Orgies in blood shall deflorate its purity
Defecate on the liars book of sick belief
No one shall be saved the way to hell has here been paved

A din of stained glass fragments
Cut your flesh to the bone
Baptized in black blood
Hymen breached with a cross
Children of your lord
Semen peppers their faces
We seek to distort
Our kingdom shall come
Rise! The dead burst forth from ancient tombs
The steaming bowels of seraphs violently strewn
Hell is here sermons backwards preach death and doom
Flagellate and rape bloodlet the pilgrims of their faith

Drain them of their sanctity
Perpetuate their tragedy
Infect them with all our disease
Mock his altar of deceit

With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned

Diabolic ritual open the portal to damnation
Dark legions gathering for virtuous insemination
Molest and sodomize deride the seed of god's creation
Impale the Nazarene succumb to spiritual inversion

In our unholy fathers disgusting house of shame
We revel in endless hatred burning so absolute
Corrupting all who'd enter here surrender to darkness
We kneel to those no more who'd burden and beguilt

Within these wretched walls a summoning proceeds
What form will manifest of this abysmal devilry
The children now are bleeding we eunuchate his sons
To evil blood and fire this earth will soon succumb

With hell reborn
Your Christ be scorned
Dead faith now torn
His love deformed

06. Death Panorama

In that very moment which life doth fade away
Ejected from my human shell exempt from time or space
Floating absorbing omniscient in display
A grandiose presentation unravels before me

Not in chronology but so wildly all at once
An open dioramic rendition of events
Some horrible integral just the same a
Ll pieces are key to the sum of the being
A strobe of emotions vivid extreme
The rapturous voyage through life's victories
The man that I once was I have left him behind

What kind of man does the assembled puzzle read
With soul spread open wide I calmly contemplate my destiny

Death panorama, death panorama

Not in chronology but so wildly all at once
An open dioramic rendition of events
Some horrible integral just the same
All pieces are key to the sum of the being
A strobe of emotions vivid extreme
The rapturous voyage through life's victories
The man that I once was
I have left him behind

07. Throne Of Lunacy

Oppressive air heavy and noxious
Volcanic outpour roars from the heaving angered ancient earth
Storm of spirits raging
Corrosion eats away oxidizing mentally

When they would call to us
When they would beckon us
We would deliver them
We would make them whole again

When they would see the lies
When they would see this world
In glorious anger would rise again in reclamation
Keeper of all chaos uncontrolled
Bringers of truth embody me
Speaker of ends wipe the slate again
Turn man against his brother in deceit

Old ones return to the light
Come the inception of the end
Old ones suspended beyond sight
Crack the earth sphere open
To doom all will descend

Ominous and obscure carnivorous and monstrous
Hideous and slithering dead to eyes but ever dreaming
Behind the stars at high below the stirring sea
Arise and claim your throne of lunacy

They would reach to us
They would summon us
Voices transcend in dream
Echo cthulhu's screams
They do see the lies
They do see this world
They'll part the seas in utter pandemonium

Old ones return to the light
Come the inception of the end
Old ones suspended beyond sight
Crack the earth sphere open
To doom all will descend

Ominous and obscure carnivorous and monstrous
Hideous and slithering dead to eyes but ever dreaming
Behind the stars at high below the stirring sea
Arise and claim your throne of lunacy

Treacherous and impure impious and murderous
Cadaverous yet living dead to eyes but ever dreaming
Beyond the galaxies below the ocean deep
Arise and claim your throne of lunacy

08. Eyes Of Thousand

Paralyzing atrophy locked in her web of mimicry
Suspended inverted waiting to die

Dexterous segmented limbs
Fangs to sink within your skin
They seek to find vacancy
With your withered heart
She lives for the hunt man
And you are the kill
Now feel that venom spread
It hardening your arteries
Ensnared soon to be dead

A shadow of your former
A mere shell of a man
Degenerated tortured hallowed
And spit into the earth again
To terminally lust for
To love one's self to death
Regret the day you heard the tune
That trapped you in the sirens nest

Enchanting the flower of disease
Beware her silken surprise
She'll throttle you down to your knees
She'll suck you dry

Lost inside her eyes of thousand
The deadly kiss of a mistress venomous

Soulless you fell before her
Quenching her ravenous thirst
Strip mining your essence
She'll turn your universe to black
Emasculating glutton for perverse punishment
Lecherous and deviant perfume to mask her scent
To the naked eye immaculate to her victim poisonous
She'll wrap you up so tight she'll suffocate without relent

Enchanting the flower of disease
Beware her silken surprise
She'll throttle you down to your knees
She'll suck you dry

09. That Which Erodes The Most Tender

Won't you rest your ruined head my weary child
This would twas not for thee
I send you now the promised land
Not one breath did you heave still born

Unto this earth sleeping so soundly in my arms
A slug-like trail of ochre fluids where we've danced
The sun is setting now I hold a modest hand in vain
My lung emit a sigh
What fiend would take these tiny eyes and show them to the dark
Gods just a lie

Never born into this den of sin
That which erodes the most tender of things
After the eve have fallen
The lights are sinking low
Shadows would hide that life
In him could never grow

A hollow gaze peers from the cradle black
Imagining his shining eyes just sockets staring back
Witness the baptism skeletal the world would shun
Reject the purest form of love
A mother to her son

I proceed to nurse him
I could almost smile
I entertain the notion
That he did live this while
But he's dead to this world
Carved out just like my heart
Soaked up and washed so lovingly
Cherished son unconditionally

In our secret world alone
Situation delicate crudely frowned upon
In our sacred love undone

Never born into this den of sin
That which erodes the most tender of things
After the eve has fallen
The lights are sinking low
Shadows would hide that life
In him could never grow

A hollow gaze peers from the cradle black
Imagining his shining eyes just sockets staring back
Witness the baptism skeletal the world would shun
Reject the purest form of love
A mother to her putrid rotting son

10. I Will Return

When death so swiftly has coveted
The client from this plane
A journey forged in ice has just begun
A crystal line entombment preservation now awaits
Proceedings executed hastily deceased to be encased
Encapsulated ensured the precious cargo safe
A pending resurrection rebirth

In the distant future when advancements shall allow
A being to be made again anew
The brain to be implanted
Fused within a growth of cells
This vessel but a vehicle
To traverse this mortal realm

Pressurized sealed in ward off the mounting days
Retain revived rebirthed beyond the grave

Jealousy some say it sickening
They merely can't afford this highest form of luxury
To live again
To carry on the will elite
To live again
Advancing through the centuries

Until the sky is black and the sun it never shows
Til the whipping winds of nuclear winter cruelly blow
The gift of immortality has been bestowed
I will return, I will return

Cryonics! Reanimate this life
Remake the fleshy juggernaut
In which the mind will ride
Cryonics! A wisdom is preserved
Frozen forever evolutionary curve
O a renaissance of mad technology
Segregate the wise eliminate the weak
O painstaking process onward we weed
Reproduce the strong eliminate

Heresy some say its blasphemy
Assuring I'll be in hell when god is through with me
To live again to forge yourself anew
To live again to face the godless truth
Foolery some say it'll never be
Fear will condemn such radical ideology
To live again to stand above your brood
To live again the phoenix raised unbruised
