Tracks



01. In The Name Of God

Raped,
Tortured,

Condemned,
Anguished,

No Mercy,
Falsely,
Accused,

And stripped,
Of all,
Dignity

Hypocrisy!

For the trials suffered,
Posed as just

Murdered
Mothers

Burning
Daughters

And sisters
All who
Witnessed

The screaming
Of the
Slaughtered

Gallows
To the Gallows

She must
Beg to Forgive

Her soul
Damnation

Though shall not suffer
A witch to live

Burn her!
Immolation, fires
Lick at her skin

Immoral savages

Excuse malice for religion

In The Name of God

(Backwards):

They are the forgotten ones,
They will curse you and me

02. Blasphemously Blessed

Longing ever for you,
I fear not the night,
Through the ghostly mist I,
Listen for your cries

Your shrieks are whispered legends,
The blood-stains on your eyes,
Forever from your weeping,
You’ve stole my heart from light,

Demented that I am,
My heart atrophy,
Racing against time,
To court death,
I am yearning,
I am burning…

Hair of fire,
Skin of lunar,
Witching demise,
Speak thy rumors,
Charging forth
Into the storm,
Your cries…



Bursting in my chest,
I fall upon my knees,
The last thing I see,
Gorgeous depravity

Look into my eyes,
And shriek into my soul,
A beauty I must know,

But before I die
I gaze upon your beauty,
I cease amidst your scream,
Blasphemously blessed

03. Rest In Power

Harrowed,
Brilliance,
What fills your head
Never will it be the same

Strung along,
Lady H,
Make The Shaking Stop
Get The Picture? its The Chase,

From beyond you will inspire
Potent,
Eccentric,
Livewire
Wish we’d found a way to Cut you off
Of it

All your Love and Rage,
Abundant empathy
Heart squeezed in a cage
Hemorrhaging violently

All your Love and Rage,
Driving you off the rails
Fill many a page
With all the endless tales

All your Love and Rage,
Now always in our minds,
So much left to say,
For all that’s left behind

All your Love and Rage,
Always until the end,
Cherish every day,
Until we meet again,

Tragic legend,
My good friend,
All of my love I now send

From beyond you will inspire
Potent,
Eccentric,
Livewire
Wish we’d found a way to Cut you off

Labelled Smoke
But you were fire,
Burning
Brighter
Soaring higher
Brother,
I hope you finally found peace

04. Unsung

Into the void
The silent cries,
Voices destroyed,
Swallowed by the eye,

Projected
Protected
Voice
Propagandize

Clearing the path
The silenced rumbling
Purging the rats
The old world crumbling

Now there will be no filter
On the lens

Unsung
Unheard
They Rise

Unsung
Unheard
We rise

05. Cemetery Evil

Thieves in the night,
Breaching the cemetery,
Three vagabond bandits,
From the dead they will steal,
Exhume the coffins,
And tombs invaded,
Grave goods of riches,
But the sexton is watching their raid,

Oh they should have known,
The evil they yet not see,

Riches,
Rumors of riches,
Whisper the fools of the land,
Fodder,
For ones consumed,
Of greed oh how they will be damned,
Legend,
Endlessly told,
No one has ever returned,
Callous,
They never will listen,
No one has ever learned,

Oh they should have known,
The evil they yet not see,


Depraved,
The sexton fixates,
Abhorrently conjugate,
Terror,
Chant the spell,
The bandits know not their own fate,
Arise,
The ancient call,
The dead awaken again,
Devour,
Feed on flesh
The sexton is breeding the dead (2x)

Unholy mass atone,
Terror consuming their eyes,
Unearthing every gravestone,
The bandits they are screaming in fright,
Now there is nowhere to turn,
The dead have risen again,
Surrounded they now will learn,
As they’re screaming and screaming in pain

Oh they should have known,
The evil they yet not see,
They should have known,
The evil they yet not see,

Oh they should have known,
The evil they yet not see,
They should have known,
The evil they refuse to see,

06. The Old Estate

Along the corridors,
The shadows dance,
The candles flame,
Casts light for a glance,

Bones rest in the walls,
Blood stains the halls,
The land poisoned by
Necro-romance,

But just one night,
Is all they shall stay,
And by sunlight,
The bookies will pay,

A handsome sum,
To abstain from,
Succumbing to fear and
Running away,

But they do not know,
That this is certain death,
The spirits abound
Embody malevolence

When the witching hour strikes,
The shadows will bite
The fools will take their last breath

At the old estate,
Of many ill-fates,
The nightmare has come,
The web has now been spun,

A dark history,
Full of misery,
Delved in devilry,

Last they’ll see,
The horrors of this cursed place,
Come to fruition,

Their painful cries,
As shadows on the walls,
Tear apart in merciless mutilation

At the old estate,
Of many ill-fates,
They never should have come,
They’re not the only ones,

A dark history,
Full of misery,
These walls are filled with hate,
This damned godforsaken estate,

07. Alluring Parasite

Slip,
Slithering worm,
Evading grip,
Carry to term,

Bleed
Tearing apart,
Malevolent
Control the heart
Parasitic Absolution

Destroy without
Destroy from within

Existing for one purpose
Destroying to feed
Internal carnage
External seeds
Mutant,
Absurd species
Lifeform
Origin unknown
Leaching
The secure sectors
Breaching
External carnage
Internal seeds

Change form
Change textures
Change
Oh
So
Divine

08. Reaching For The Sun

Bringer of life,
Harvester of Pain,
Delicious nectar,
Pulsing through my veins,

Temperatures rising,
Higher as I go,
A burning sensation,
Illuminating glow,

Suffer,
Pleasure,
Dying,
Treasure,
Casting,
Shadows,
Distance measured,

I’ve been here many times before,
Familiar realm I’m told,
Irrationality,
Somehow does not grow old,

Reaching for The Sun
Come undone
Ever consistent sum,

Burn away,

Beneath,
All I see,
All I know,
A harrowed empty soul,
Fill the void,
With the flames,
Scorching blissful pain,
Throttling,
Burning one,
Reaching for The Sun
Come undone
The ever consistent sum,

Burn away,

Suffer,
Pleasure,
Dying,
Treasure,
Casting,
Shadows,
Distance

Burned away

Reaching for The Sun
Come undone
The ever consistent sum,

Reaching for The Sun
Come undone
The ever consistent sum,

Burn away

09. The Sadness

Devils gaze
Black as night
Window to the soul

Contagious Form
Spreading fast
Death, mayhem unfold

Sadistic smiles
Running wild
Killing all in sight

Violence
Tortured victims
Too many to fight

The Sadness
Twisted sickness
Bliss

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Infected ones
Skull fuck your eye

Fornication
Drenched in blood
Rivers turning red

Mutilation
Common sights
Streets filled with the dead

Infectious
Brutality
Pleasure from the pain

Nowhere safe
Anywhere
World gone insane

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Infected ones
Skull fuck your eyes

The Sadness
Twisted sickness
Bliss

10. Expulsion

Darkness cuts like the shards of a mirror,
Shattered from a perfect reflection,
Pondering the question,
Can it really reflect darkness?
Or is it merely imperfection,

Or is it light?
Fire created to see,
Envisioning
Becoming,
Embracing the intensity

Gaze upon it,
Harness the pain,
Mold it into
Creation

Expulsion
Expulsion

Putrid rot,
Given value
Now
Forever a relic of time

11. Plagued

Plagued,
With
Isolation,

In-formed
Fabrication

Six times
Sick times

Convenient truths,

Uncompliance,
Deep defiance,
By our hand we are doomed

Like a serpents kiss from the abyss
Buried in a funeral mist
Reach into the void
And grab straws

12. W.T.W.B.

Watch the world burn,

Violent massacre
Weekly affair
Contamination
Into the air
Natural disasters
From everywhere
Slaughtered children
Our thoughts and prayers

The madness and chaos
It has just begun
Destruction now reigns
The damage is done
Killing each other
Destroying our homes
Arrogant tyrants
Creating warzones


Watch The World Burn
All around us
Prophetic claims
No repair

Demons amongst
We put our trust
Turbo charged
Necro-nightmare

Spawn through the hate
The Antichrist
Deflecting blame
No one Cares

There’s no time like
the present night
To offer you our
Thoughts and Prayers
