Cenotaph

Alone you stand - The final parody
Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality

Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead
For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread

Never forgotten - Wars memory lingers on
A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion

This solemn image - Constructed with resolution
A monument - To wars terminal conclusion

Cenotaph

You never thought life could come to this
Man reborn to die upon the altar of war

And now we stand, to face the truth
This world now enslaved, bound by hate

In fear of life, now that the mindless control
As the flame of hope for mankind now burns away

For now you stand alone to die
Whilst visions of horror infest your mind

Destructive - Man's lust for power
Infinity - A lifetime of war

Destroying your world, again and again
Suffering in torment, through agonising pain

Killing for pleasure, only the strong shall remain
An arising slaughter, as hatred and terror now reigns

Destructive - The world now ripped apart
Infinity - A never ending fear

Look to the sky the time has come
Stand and be brave you body feels numb
Face the atrocity at what you have become
Twisting your mind it's only just begun

Fear of religion, war, insanity
This decision - die for my deity
Power to those who question destiny
Man destroys untamed animosity

Blood - the taste of death is sweet
Death - my victory is complete
Devour - your soul now we're as one
Mercy - in this world I give you none

I am the carrion lord
Bow to me and give my praise
Sacrifice the blood of a thousand souls
Only then your life I will save

You're my living warrior
My strength shall be my revenge
You shall have no remorse
As you slay for my right
To control the downfall of man

Fear of religion, war, insanity
This decision - die for my deity
Power to those who question destiny
Man destroys untamed animosity

Blood - the taste of death is sweet
Death - my victory is complete
Devour - your soul now we're as one
Mercy - in this world I give you none

Only the insane have the strength to prosper
And only those that prosper judge what is sane

Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun
You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run

The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy
Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination

Past life you deplore, present life abhor
Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel

Mutated creature round you stare, at your limbs they all tear
It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care

Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them - Is the only way to exist

Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy
The final requisition, is no longer your decision

The obscure depravity blinds you, now you cannot see
What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold

Now it's time to pay your price - The ultimate sacrifice
Gasp at your final breath - Cleansed now in your death
Your death
