Tracks



01. Forbidden Sanctuary

Borders touch the sky’s
Haven for the snakes
Appointed by the gods
To seal the sanctuary

The streets are paved with gold
On the outside we decay
A window to the underworld
Kings and creatures block the way
Deep within the walls
The time has come to conquer

I see
Serpents they wait in the grass
Orchestrating the end of time
Pathway leads to a vigorous land
Find our way through the sanctuary gates

No asylum
human sacrifice
The pillars fall
An end in sight

Leaving our home
destined to fall
A distant memory of hope
Die by the sword
Or be reborn

Our sacred tree
Stripped of its bark
Rots to the core
Rooted in bile

Enter the gates
Obtain the light
Free the enslaved
End of the night

02. Despoiled

For centuries they walked a fertile ground
Flourishing in light
Then kings arrived with hatred in their hearts
Utopian demise

Malignant fate in the hands of the evils ones
Death to the wise, scar the earth for eternity
Paradise lost

As mountains burn beneath and angry sky
Sanity unwinds
They’ve poisoned all the oceans and the seas
And Leave no trace of life.

Malignant fate in the hands of the evils ones
Death to the wise, scar the earth for eternity
Paradise lost

Escape through a cavern of shadows
The chasm leads deeper into the ground
Lit by the flame of a candle
An echo of torment the only sound

We will prevail
Or die in the looming trails
grip of despair
Ascent of the fallen ones

Ancient tyrant
Seek your demise
No mercy given
Hear the cry’s
Searing the flesh of the beast
Bury alive
Alone with his madness
He won’t survive

03. Is It Your God

Is it your god
Who gave you this life
Bound to a cross
Delusion of a soul Devine
Exist to fear the one you praise
With hopes to claim your holy right
The light

Remain eternal in the ashes
Still pray for better days
He was the one that’s taken the sun away
He was the one that told you the heavens await
There is no light

There’s no presence of god
In this hell that we live
Descend into the lightless unknown

Angel blood fills
A crimson red sky
Fires engulf
Breaking the oath

Enlightened for the first time
The air is in your lungs
Breath
you’re alive

04. Melt The Crown

Hides in the mountains
kills all he sees
Blinded by fortunes
spreading disease

Bring the sacred souls to life
Rising from a tomb bright

Merciless horsemen
abuse the crown
Spirits awakening to cast you out

Where the vagrants go to die
Perish under moonlight.

Feel the weight of the world
Losing sight of the sun
We must capture the king
Become a regicide

Breeding seasons of anguish

Terrors bludgeon the conscience
Through the knowledge of sin

We will melt the crown
Burn the king alive
Hang him from a spire
For the gods to see

05. Cloak Of The Vast And Black

Our time is gone
Shrouded by an evil
The vast and black
An emptiness will fill the earth

The ground it quakes
As temples burn around me
The sun is god
Never set to rise again

Renew the path of existence
Searching for a new way of life

These tired eyes won’t rest
Must find a path to escape

Ancient knowledge buried deep in the sands of time
Uncover a gate that leads to the distant stars

Leaving this barren world behind

Step into the portal, awake on the other side

Leaving this barren world behind
Traversing the stars through space and time

Become the one, the god of all creation
Rebuild the world, weave the web of destiny

Renew the path of existence
Finding a new way of life

06. Celestial Tyrant

Despise a world once owned
Foresee fire
A tyrant I’ve become
Empathy escapes me

Wrath
I have come to claim my throne
Waster of worlds

Reclaim what’s been bestowed
Appearing without warning
Incursion if your home
Bringing death upon you

Wrath
I have come to claim my throne
Waster of worlds

Killer of gods leave the netherworld

Infinite eclipse

07. Beyond Our Minds

Soul leaves the body
Wave the world goodbye
Connect to the universe
Quest beyond your mind

We drift among the stars
Guided by a voice
Encounter an entity
In geometric form

Benevolent being lead us home
Expand the horizon
And open the minds eye

A visionary takes me by the hand
Expelled from hell
Existing in a trance

Forget the misery
And bleeding hearts
Beget what he’s foreseen
An endless dream

08. The Torch

Cutting through the darkness
With a beacon of light
Brilliant is the torch, the end of our strife

Illuminator of the blackened
Causing shadows to die
Everlasting candescence will light up the sky

Test of the will, the future looks bright
Raising the torch becoming Devine

Ending of an empire
They begin to decay
Releasing the grip, the dawn of the day


Thousand years of torment, rob the kings of their breath
The wage of the sins they commit is their death

Test of the will, the future looks bright
Raising the torch becoming Devine

We see the light shine again
Bask in the rays of the sun

09. Candescence

10. In The Absence Of Wisdom

We awaken
No one left to guide us through
Counting virtues, and no flaws

Fear the oracle
And prophecies becoming truths
Are we destined to rise
Or do we crumble

Can we live on
Or will we die in solitude

Viscous cycle
Mistakes we made we can’t undo
Nothing sacred
In our minds
Haunted by the past
Hunted by the demons

Erasing the stars
Crest of a title wave
Falling apart
In fragments

In the absence of wisdom
Searching for a better way
All the elders perished now
We live in the eye of storms

We are now the demons
We’ve become the snakes
Following the footsteps
Of the ones we hate
