01. Prologue: The Machinery Of Oblivion

Instrumental

02. Infinite Ghost Anathema

I have this unholy vision inside my head
I am attached to the darkest anchors
Armless and flameless and ready to die

To the sound of a loveless tragedy

I'm counting the number of strangers
Attached to the darkest anchors
I serenade to the darkest
The beast within me
Through the darkest hours in my deathbed
I'm about to die

This summer's the darkest salvation
The sound of infinite souls
I have felt all of your presence
In those dark wars
I slay the heart of origin
I'm about all this anger, outrageous
Outrageous to the promise...

I serenade to the darkest
The beast within me
Through the darkest hours in my deathbed

I have to live with this vision inside my head
Faithless dark days led to all my dark nights
Through serenades of the unsung

Ignite the essence of fire

This summer's the darkest salvation
The sound of infinite souls
I have felt all of your presence
In those dark wars
I slay the heart of origin
I'm about all this anger, outrageous
Outrageous to the promise...

03. The Superior Collision

In your flames awakened
Severed by the hands of betrayal
Forgiveness is for the weak
Vengeance is what I seek

There is no truth
No truth to be found
There are only lies
Corruption thrives on the glow
In those black eyes

This is a war of tyrants
Death to us all
I bleed in vain for a dead cause
Babylon is ready to fall

In tragedy beloved
Through nightmares unloved
Unearthed to reign again
All my battles left in victory
In tragedy beloved
Through nightmares unloved
Unearthed to reign again
Forever my motivated resist

There is no love
No love to be found
There is only hate
Corruption thrives on the glow
In those black eyes

I have longed for a war embraced by myself
Nothing remains to be loved again
Something that in the end becomes the wire
that will rip off my head

In tragedy beloved
Through nightmares unloved
Unearthed to reign again
All my battles left in victory
In tragedy beloved
Through nightmares unloved
Unearthed to reign again
Forever my motivated resist

Corruption thrives on the glow
In those black eyes

All hail the darkness that has evolved
Like the fire of thousand burning suns
We are born of the darkest hearts
May our hearts burn forever

I am nothing.

04. In A Hail Of Deadly Bullets

There is no determination
On hate I thrive to avoid oblivion

Faithless - There is still blood on the floor
It's so authentic you better just admit it
Endlessly pursuing the dark that lies in you
Smothering on the failure of others

A threnody we bare witness to

This is the last time
We ride after gold
Burning forever in the sky

Everytime I fight for revolution
A part of me is dying
My youth is lost
In a hail of deadly bullets

In a hail of deadly bullets

This is the last time
We ride after gold
Burning forever in the sky

Everytime I fight for revolution
A part of me is dying
My youth is lost
In a hail of deadly bullets

...Of all the others

A threnody inside these infinite structures.

05. Servants Of A Darker World

In the land of holy where terror reigns
Trails of damnation marks the lands
Servants of a darker world with fanatic minds
Disciples of the unlight with eyes so blind

Victimized by acts of evil
Obscure thoughts like from the devil
The frantic rage of legions coming
To reap the earth of light

Servants of a darker world are rising
With faith burning like a thousand suns

Hordes of blind believers breeding insanity
Black souled beasts to murder again
Infidels caught at the mercy of madness
Illfated mankind doomed for eternity

Victimized by seeds of hatred
Terror reaps the earth forsaken
A world of chaos rises and destroys
The promise of eternal life above

In the land of holy where darkness rules
Life enslaved by scriptures written in books of old
Servants of a darker world with fanatic minds
Disciples of the unlight with eyes so blind

Servants of a darker world are rising
With faith burning like a thousand suns.

06. Bloodlust

Redefined in the abyss of a predator's mind
A vampiric feast to satisfy my hunger
I kill in a serial thrill to collect in the night
I stalk through the fear I have created

Merciless in a serial thrill
The ungodly thirst and sacrifice
Elaborate the vice inside the

Bloodlust - the ungodly thirst and sacrifice
Bloodlust - the darkness has fallen

I am right behind you
And out for blood
Like the seeker I am
Eleborate the vice inside the

Bloodlust - the ungodly thirst and sacrifice
Bloodlust - the darkness has fallen
Bloodlust - modulation of the heart

I only persist in the absence of passion
In the decadent hours of mistrust
Oh how I bleed...

I perceive through the callousness of dying
And now I feel the other side

The revolt of violence - the dark interior
The revolt of violence - the inferior in me

My lifelessness is the unrest in my soul
I kill in a serial thrill to collect in the night
I stalk through the fear I have created

Merciless in a serial thrill
The ungodly thirst and sacrifice
Elaborate the vice inside

Bloodlust - the ungodly thirst and sacrifice
Bloodlust - the darkness has fallen
Bloodlust - modulation of the heart

I only persist in the absence of passion
In the decadent hours of mistrust
Of mistrust I bleed the daggers
I'm bleeding out the words of my soul.

07. A Sevenfold Condemnation

Only through failure have I found essence of security
And through this struggle I separate the uncertainty
You are kept deep inside my undying darkness
My bitterness has been building up years
For I am praising what I create through all my fears
Now tearless I rest in the arms of the unfaithless

The scars left burning in the phase of a thousand lies
Our love will fade away
A sevenfold condemnation
In a thousand dying hearts
A thousand dying hours
A thousand...

Only through failure faithless
Can I accentuate true convalescence
Free from the everlasting torment
Free from your dark empty stare

Your dark empty stare

The scars left burning in the phase of a thousand lies
Our love will fade away
A sevenfold condemnation
In a thousand dying hearts
A thousand dying hours
...Frozen and closer

Only through failure have I found essence of security
And through this struggle I separate the uncertainty

As shadows devour enlightment
The grief of the unsung awakens the tormented

The scars left burning in the phase of a thousand lies
Our love will fade away
A sevenfold condemnation
In a thousand dying hearts
A thousand dying hours
A thousand...

Transcend security to be illusion.

08. Breathe The Poison

In clouds above vultures are circling the sky
Waiting to feast on the remnants of your mind
Your mind is a place in which all demons dwell
Haunting your soul imprisoned in this hell

You tremble with fear
As you walk the barren lands
The world seems like an empty place as you reach out your hand
Sombre truth
Awakens you
A rush of blood runs through your head and you feel the world
So cold

All is said all words seem obsolete
The path is long the path is dark and obscene
The will to live the lust for life has decayed
In a soulless state slowly devoured day by day

Swallow your pride
Forget the rigid past
You are your own worst enemy bound to fail at last
Lick the wounds
Erase the pain
The twisted riddles in your head leave you with
No hope

Breathe the poison
Breathe it in
Let it burn under your skin
Breathe the poison
Breathe it in
Let it be your final sin

Cries from within echoes in your mind
Like the undead you walk the earth leaving life behind

Reeking your fear
As the end draws near
You will be punished for your mistakes and for your bitter lies
Embrace your doom
Take the final breath
Your shattered existence takes your life and buries you

Breathe the poison
Breathe it in
Let it burn under your skin
Breathe the poison
Breathe it in
Let it be your final sin.

09. Flames Of Liberation

All there is left is liberation
Regaining through will
As the ashes ignites into embers
In the midst of devastation

Set this world ablaze
Hence the arcane

The name of the order
The arcane order
I will behold a new found glory
In desperation of those who cries out

For flames of liberation
Bring me the horizon
For I have fooled myself
Into believing that I am invinsible

And I will give you flames
To bleed the lie for liberation
From this history of absolution
I am only human

Why have we forsaken those who reign
In our falling nightmares

Ride the wings of pestilence
The war is not over

Set this world ablaze
Hence the arcane

The name of the order
The arcane order
I will behold a new found glory
In desperation to bleed the lie

I bleed myself inside the horror
of this ungodly love

Why have we forsaken those who reign
We have not won

For flames of liberation
Bring me the horizon
For I have fooled myself
Into believing that I am invincible

And I will give you flames
To bleed the lie for liberation
From this history of absolution
I am only human.

10. The Sanity Insane

Trapped in a world of unbearable existence
Shattered by a fate so gruesome and absurd

The voice inside your head
Like needles deep within
Emotions lying dead
The insane becomes the sane

And you question all the wrongs and rights
The pain that burns you from inside
A broken spirit beaten and abused
A life in punishment and gloom

You are afraid to wear your own skin
Chaos prevails and spreads deep from within
Haunted by demons who feed upon your soul
At the end of the rope your death will unfold

Nightmares untold
The secret lies deep within you
Nightmares unfold
The pain will always haunt you

Panic takes your soul
In fear of the unknown
In this silent hell
Forever you will dwell

Repulsed by your own fragile personality
Try to escape from the horrors of the past
The mental torment weakens your sense of reality
Your destiny sealed and damned for all eternity

Nightmares untold
The secret lies deep within you
Nightmares unfold
The pain will always haunt you.
