04. Threnody
05. Fall
06. Oblivion


01. Pyre

Culmination of the race steadfast to armageddon
The victor's throne devoid of king
Devoid of slaves and vassals
Shadows scorched into time by ethereal fire
Bodies writhe as kindling engulfing nuclear pyre

Lashing from the firmament
Empyreal tongues of fire haemorrhage unto heaven
Render flesh and bone to shadow
Cleaved deep into the core
Extrapolate extermination
Immolation and total war
Empyreal tongues of fire lashing from the firmament
Empyreal tongues of fire haemorrhage unto heaven

Fire!

Subservience and revolution
Evaporate as dissipated breath
This moment of unification
Eyes fixated on the death of all deaths
The death of all deaths

02. Dominion

Surrender, defeat, punishment
Rejoice in pitch-black violence
Unending procession of zealous lust
Vanquishing history, blood turns to rust

Unending, cyclical failures
Infallible hubris of man
Aloft the throne of totality
Control dons a new mask
Stoked into frenzy - hack, maim, slash
Strike and silence - future, present, past

Jaws sewn shut o'er barren mouths
Adversarial tongues bleed a venomous black
Shock and disbelief entomb a knife in the back
Round a pyre of enthrallment, slaves dance

03. Dawn

Illuminate the threshold
Shackled to this mortal coil
Bask in promethean spoil
Black conflagration dawn - nightfall

Oh king, oh sun, engulf the sky
Immolate all from up on high
Crumbling to sand, life vitrified
How we beseech liberation
Liberation - liberate - nightfall

Black conflagration dawn - nightfall
Black conflagration dawn - falling
Black conflagration dawn - downfall
Black conflagration dawn - nightfall, falling

Black conflagration dawn

04. Threnody

Born aloft of the silent beat of carrion wings
A gangrenous visage cowled in foetid rags
Silken gloves concealing skeletal hands

Carried upon the silent beat of carrion wings

The figure stalks the land
A thief in the night
Nations crumble, skin erupts
In the miasma of his wake

Threnody

A virulent eschaton

05. Fall

Constrained by flesh
The fetterings of time
Liberation from perdition
Unshackled mind meanders to decipher
Bask in realms of utmost lucidity
Answers seem so near
Dimension void of fear
Immersive dissolution
Incomparable clarity

Appear and crumble
Subsequent revelations
Fully grasped elucidation
Crystalline his ascension

Phaethon's fall

Divination's answer to the call of the void
Seductive, siren song of the abyss
Arrival and departure in unison
Gnashing teeth, in unison

06. Oblivion

Great leveller in dreamless slumber
Enveloped frigid stasis
Rouse judgement
Silence splinters, pools
Miscible with all man's failures

Poison of restoration
Heaving lungs of the extinct

Cracks appear and deepen – ad nauseum
Echoes on deaf ears – ad nauseum
Eyes averting – ad nauseum
Amidst the haze, the hive - the many all too many

No war, no famine, nor pestilence
Shall wipe the slate clean
The final nail in the coffin
Subterranean and unseen
This decree and final judgement
Will from fragmented breast
From fathoms deep the foment
The arbiter's behest
