So salvation here runs the flood
Here dies the love The banner of the ungranted And our darkest days The feelings that were forced Out of fear without a drop of remorse Now that the pain is released With cryptic seals and signs Running over heartstrings wretched and run dry When the feathered begin to fall With a voice like glass Born to splint and shatter The touch of sunlight Like heavens plague, the birth of black With hung halos of wrath and decay The furthest of faith, the Rider of Plagues Our hands have reached thin of skin Sifted straight to bone Bare and broken As the inventors hope Unseen by the believed Unbelieved by all who see So when you become every dream abhorred A being so bitter Not worth the weight of ice in his words With a voice like glass Born to splint and shatter The touch of sunlight Like heavens plague, the birth of black With hung halos of wrath and decay The furthest of faith, the Rider of Plagues With a voice just like glass Born to splint and born to shatter The touch of sunlight Like heavens plague, the birth of black [Solo] With hung halos of wrath and decay The furthest of faith, the Rider of Plagues 02. Dead And Gone
When syllables go soundless
The sensation kills you To the brink of burning From the fill of your filth To their lacking skill While walking through these walls I've come to find no unconditional I am now breeding fear Deep into your soul You may live on as nothing I am now dead and gone Reaching further into the void Past the gates of slumber - forever night To a non-believer, from a distance It seems much clearer The total loss of mind From suspended faith To where it must die I am now breeding fear Deep into your soul You may live on as nothing I am now dead and gone I am now breeding fear Deep into your soul You may live on as nothing I am now dead and gone It would be senseless to drag this out Anymore then time could wither Clock hands corrode Live on as nothing You'll live on as nothing While walking through these walls I've come to find no unconditional [Solo] I am now breeding fear Deep into your soul You may live on as nothing I am now dead and gone I am now breeding fear Deep into your soul You may live on as nothing I am now dead and gone Dead and gone Breeding this fear deep in your soul I am now dead and gone 03. The Murder
The gathering now of storms within
That whip and rip the stead, joined at the head Dying to make ready for the deliverance to the land The swarming devourers, the murder Here are the fortunes to tell Of our demonic dreams the burnt fires of hell Painted in black The warmth is seething and moving all through me Total Annihilation We are your masters now [Solo] I can see them coming down like rain in the streets Soaking into everything Like blood through cloth Scratching limbs from wing and claw All life will start to slow, and freeze into position When the murder crows With likeness to shades much deeper than dull The infinite abyss forever holds Total Annihilation We are your masters now Crushing your premonition Crushing your premonition [Solo] Towers fall into the fire And razored hails of glass and steel Brought down by stabs of rage without fear Gashed hearts worked deep who refuse to hear Here are the fortunes to tell Of our demonic dreams the burnt fires of hell Painted in black The warmth is seething and moving all through me Total Annihilation We are your masters now Total Annihilation We are your masters now 04. Echos
Blinded behind walls of
Self built stained glass Focus enters eyes well watered At last, with vision split Hewn end to end, life -force leaked From sun-cracked skin In the blink of an eye, dying too is the quick This life story to tell with one second to live The hammer comes down on thunder strikes Where we burn fast in the build of our lives Slowing down, to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down, to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live Time takes throne to purge The fill of our flight When days turn into years And a loss of life Death rattles a mile away From your restless symphony The ridden thought unsound The shadows that crept lonely all around The hammer comes down on thunder strikes Where we burn fast in the build of our lives Now waiting will just not work When tales must be told, changed and retold Slowing down, to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down, to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live [Solo] Slowing down, to see the mountains you built This life story to tell with one second to live Slowing down, to see the time that passed you by Your life story to tell with only one second to live Slowing down, to see the mountains you built Slowing down, your life story to tell Slowing down, with one second to live 05. World Divides
There is an aftertaste to celebrate
In the swings of my suicide Or the lines I will draw by myself Within the grasp, fictitious pasts, and all my doubts How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will all of you be When the killing fields are cleared and the world divides? How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will you be When the killing fields are cleared and this world divides? [Solo] The loss of heart becomes unbearable And a vanishing point becomes intact So when a six foot drop is my best I will expect nothing less than a soldier's death How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will all of you be When the killing fields are cleared and the world divides? How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will you be When the killing fields are cleared and this world divides? [Solo] There is an aftertaste to celebrate In the swings of my suicide Or the lines I've drawn At last for redemption And finally for my forgiveness In the end this bitterness bends Simply encased in my withered hands How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will all of you be When the killing fields are cleared and the world divides? How can you see through the shadows With the blinding light (Burning in your eyes) So where will you be When the killing fields are cleared and this world divides? 06. Prosperity

08. Awakening
We are all withered away
In this suffered position With the choke of truth The long unseen, the short believed If this is enough I'll distance my hands From heaven's touch I cannot believe my eyes are seeing The breach of ours undone Because the road to hell had become far too long March through the darkest light Destroy everything in sight To the bane of our being All eyes open March through the darkest light Destroy everything in sight To the bane of our being All eyes open for the awakening Decide now if you want in wrong A shallowing grin is sure to become Lies that shift the storm Become blankets to a man well worn Ripe with stench and rot Feeling the burst, awaken with pain With all to the wayside now We are destined to be below the freeze [Solo] Now that these pages turn There is nothing but regrets gone distant So now that these pages burn It's one more thing that I won't forget [Solo] Now that these pages turn There is nothing but regrets gone distant So now that these pages burn It's one more thing that I won't forget March through the darkest light Destroy everything in sight To the bane of our being All eyes open March through the darkest light Destroy everything in sight To the bane of our being All eyes open for the awakening The awakening March through the darkest light Destroy everything in sight To the bane of our being All eyes open 09. Merciless
I will not bear the watch
While the animated sadness releases A cyanide touch for us So utterly devastating its measure glides The breath that is born of behemoth size Unveiled exhumed when everything twists into form For you to see all in a perilous mourn With long relentless devotion The grant of these open wounds and this heartless rip The drains are waiting For the loss of your blood Enter all simple solutions The center of this wasteland So barren and bleak, so feeble and weak With a quick flash of ice in your chest Like falling into a mine field, face first Is this the snap of your filament or the grimmest devout Is this the snap of your neck rung red hung in this rope I will not let this subside For the still beating heart that is buried inside The depths of old to the births of war The weak will beg, swaggering in decent The weak will beg, of instant revelations The weak will beg, in risk to repent The weak will beg, for death again and again and again The shattered screams of a people unfulfilled With the sight and with the sound The reign of steel, their blood unbound Is this the snap of your filament or the grimmest devout Is this the snap of your neck rung red hung in this rope I will not let this subside For the still beating heart that is buried inside The depths of old to the births of war The weak will beg, swaggering in decent The weak will beg, of instant revelations The weak will beg, in risk to repent The weak will beg, for death again and again and again [Solo] The weak will beg, swaggering in decent The weak will beg, of instant revelations The weak will beg, in risk to repent The weak will beg, for death again and again and again And again and again and again 10. Into The Pit
Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! [Solo] So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries So here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! 11. The Victorious Dead
Can you hear us when we scream
Of our burdened beliefs Ending all sanity The wrong to right, indeed I wonder The promise to break instead to suffer Can you see us when we bleed With wounds a mile deep Spraying profusely The pain to feel indeed it grows The tables to tune instead to fuel Something inside us fades When weakness turns into trying We all must carry on For the slaughtered and the dying Can you feel us when we kill Everything that you have built We must stop at nothing The wrong to right, ha! Indeed I wonder The promise you broke, instead you suffer Something inside us fades When weakness turns into trying We all must carry on For the slaughtered and the dying [Solo] Something inside us fades When weakness turns into trying We all must carry on For the slaughtered and the dying We all must carry on For the slaughtered and the dying We all must carry on For the slaughtered and the dying 12.
