You do not understand
But you will 02. Era Of The Apostate
We glorify the iconoclast
Deification of the self Awakened from this ignorance That used to blind us all Break the frail structure Of the pitiful lie View what was once alive Now left empty inside Artificial ways of life Transparent obligations Negating towards euphoria The undying adulation All bodies now rise The era approaches unhindered Hands raised in epiphany New-found apostasy Deconstructing false ideologies Coalescing conceptual frames This inception of godlessness Impeding paradigm shift When fiction deforms truth Fragmented words become esoteric When fiction becomes belief Metaphysical self - Annihilation 03. Catalysts For Cataclysms
Tools of the flesh ingrained into subservience
Slaves to masters of the same flesh Loss of will paves the way Churning to support the pillars of avarice These are the catalysts For cataclysms These hands have felt the blood Of wasted years that have come and gone These eyes have witnessed the horrors Of humanity's disgrace Drink from the dichotomy of apathy Existing to be only part of the blind Guiding hands that bring you down Past the ground We have wrought destruction Harbingers to what we have built Empires of tyranny and closed mentalities We are the bastard scourge That holds open the gates of war Of suicide, genocide and disease Fear and disconcertion Ignorance and blind devotion Raw material for total dystopia Emotionless and dead to the touch 04. The Divine Failure
Martyr, this is your coronation
Covered in my life's bloodshed Practicality does not involve fervent prayer For my actions speak louder than your words Crucified and crowned with shame You are to blame for your mistakes Just as I have learned from your false ways Believing in your gospel of suicide You contaminated the blood of innocence Mine has the potency of venom Ineffectuality is tiring on the mind Meaningless words that fade away with time This is the hollow ridiculing the empty Hypocrisy embodying the worshiped corpse From the fear of death an illusion is born Blessed in contempt and ignorance To all the countless preachers and prophets I cast down these defeatist principles For I have lived my life through my own belief For nothing is stronger than the will of one Creation of the divine Is a failure of the human spirit 05. These Hollow Graves
Solitude is where they dwell
In the silent ground Desolate confines of life Diminished to nothing Memories rot with their flesh Forgotten men now lay to rest Thriving under shadowed earth Nameless and begotten to the worms They still lie in wait for the End of times to come Unconsecrated In unknown burial grounds The loneliness of death With blood upon their hands For the sons of vengeance Are the seeds of mortal men Before their fall they could only see The certainty of their final breath to be Ceasing the movement in their flailing limbs The lights died from the whites of their eyes Memories rot with their flesh Forgotten men now lay to rest Thriving under shadowed earth Nameless and begotten to the worms 06. Elements Of Reprisal
Reign the icons
Of a suffocated age Deadened eyes Of the lost and victimized Architects of lies Construct kingdoms of filth Disembody the truth Hollow and empty words Remnants of appalling days Malignant thoughts consume innate View the world through static lines Believe the fiction for the will is dead Reap through contradiction Laws of the world inclined Ravage in extermination Laws of the world denied Rise in proclamation Stand in the face of adversity Paradigms of slavery Overthrown in hallowed reprise Shadowed not by vulnerability Focused in derision The collapse of empiricism Advent salvation Forwards in return fire Vengeance sworn in blood and tears Tear down the monuments The dying testaments of our humanity Elements of which paves the way Towards a brave new world Watch as the weak slowly fade The dying testaments of our humanity 08. Empires Of The Fallen
As we witnessed the fall of man
Where the cities of the dead stand A revelation calls for the dying end Kingdoms of the damned Crushed by opposing hands Agonizing rupture of politicide Tear away In tides of blood Purify the infected ones Cleanse through Rebellion renewed Utopian degeneracy Burn away In flames of hate Cremate and annihilate Acerbate The weak and afraid Kneel before the apostate Downfall Reach for the hand that bleeds Bite down In the name of heresy Felled reign Illusions of this grand hypocrisy Decrowning Propagators of deceit 09. Unholy War
Enter this thought in your mind
We all were put here for mankind To serve and obey a so-called lord The price we must pay we can't afford Evangelistic politics No matter how much pain the might inflict Now that this thought has set in Wake up and realize this brutal sin Unholy war Taught to pray for Plaguing scandal Unholy war Religion pays in godly ways, education's not a factor Sit there brainwashed, insecurity Preaching life and immortality Criminal in their ways To reach eight million in just thirty days Thrive on mindless human beings An easy target, so it seems Unholy war Taught to pray for Plaguing scandal Unholy war |
