Tracks



01. The Exordium

They dwell beyond dimensions
Outside the sphere of a living realm
Escaping the binds of the universe
Watching beyond the unknown

Immortal inhabitants of eternity
Mortal minds cannot behold
Intricate patterns of insanity
Which we will never know

Your will becomes submission to creeping dark aggression
Listen in terror the lights darkest contradiction
Besieged from all sides by this force that resides
Ruling the shadows beyond fields of sight
Subject to this madness resistance rendered useless
As you stand alone at the mercy of the merciless

Perceiving ourselves as endless
We choke on the sands of time
And as we fade into nothingness
Their memory of our being also dies

Beyond mortal comprehension
Outside our perception
Creeping aggression
Dark contradiction

Immortal inhabitants of eternity
Mortal minds cannot behold
Intricate patterns of insanity
Which we will never know

They dwell beyond dimensions
Outside the sphere of a living realm
Escaping binds of the universe
Watching beyond the unknown

Perceiving ourselves as endless
We choke on the sands of time
And as we fade into nothingness
Their memory of our being also dies

02. Awaiting Armageddon

Gazing back now at the living
From behind these eternal flames
As judgment day has passed
With darkness I bind my affinity

Their kingdom bleeds
Their kingdom falls

Suffering in vain, disintegrated
Destined to serve, powerless
Engulfed by the infernal consuming pain
Armageddon draws near

Sift through the ashes of your deranged crusade
You weave hypocrisy into faith
Destiny of flames the choice I've made
Ashen skies have come to life
Culminating storm of centuries
Plumes of smoke have filled the light
The doom of all life

Structure that guided the way
Cast upon irrelevance
A crown of thorns that now decays
Lustful vows of decadence

As the world in its insanity
Powerless to resist the end
An outlet for the killing force
Draws upon the end of time

Their kingdom bleeds
Their kingdom falls

Suffering in vain, disintegrated
Destined to serve, powerless
Engulfed by the infernal consuming pain
Armageddon draws near

03. Wave Of Annihilation

Years have passed
Still the one remains
Sole survivor
Of a world in flames
World of flames

Last of an endangered breed
Lone survivor of this tragedy
Solitude inherits humanity
Doomed forever to obscurity
Echoing memories of those deceased
Tear at the remnants of sanity
Within the mind of the last to be

Through rivers of ash that layer the ground
Search for life never found
Cannot be, yet one survives
Contemplate this worlds demise
Dead haunt the living until it dies

Towering wave
Consuming flames
A shattered world
In the wake of this storm

Years have passed
Still the one remains
Sole survivor
Of a world in flames
World of flames

05. Chemical Reaction

Can you comprehend the strength of the enemy you have made
Overpowering cravings for vengeance driving me insane
False assumptions of superiority has brought you to your knees
As you beg for mercy you will not receive
Failures realization rips the smile right from your face
Folding in submission you are erased
It shackles my soul this obsession
Drawing strength from opposition
It boils the blood this aggression

Trapped in this web
You should have left alone
Your feeble struggle
Strengthens the ensnaring grasp

Can you withstand the unleashing of rage coming your way
Wrath like none confronted before this boundless hate
Imminent is this destruction blindly await annihilation
Impossible to evade
These victims of fate
Could have turned and walked away
Choice no longer yours to make
Waging war until none remain
It shackles my soul this obsession
Drawing strength from opposition
It boils the blood this aggression

Trapped in this web
You should have left alone
Your feeble struggle
Strengthens the ensnaring grasp

They fall like flies
Crushed under onslaught of aggression
Corrosive mind
Lashing at your resolve in waves
Manifest hate
Endangered morality in regression
No end in sight
Volatile force chemical reaction

06. A Casket For The Soul

Repulsive actions burning impressions on the soul
Cascading wave of failure relinquish all control
The grasp of terror crushing a fleeting sense of hope
And then the same hand closes a casket for the soul

This affliction will finalize your sanity
To descension encompassing your very being
Suffocation within the tomb behind
The eyes of a being aspiring to its demise
Termination forsaken for the suffering
Which embraces every fiber of your living being
And disposing the withered remnants of a man
In a tomb constructed for a tortured mind.

Drained of all sense and reason
Your very soul devolves
Into a state of grotesque
Human deficiency

07. Rise To Power

Behold the seize of power
Dark faction now prepared to strike
All opposition bleeds and cowers
Legion of darkness shall dictate its will
And rise to power

Denounce all gods and moral structures
Crushing to dust the bones of those who question
The power of our convictions
The world has never seen such horrors

Eviscerate all false believers
Incinerate our social leaders
Kill and rape those who seek the light
On virgin blood we thrive

Remove the tongues of those who speak out
Tear out the eyes nothing else is seen
Cut the throats and let them bleed
On human life we feed
Rise To Power
Rise To Power

08. Visions Of Violence

Ageless hands of a wicked race
Malicious fury of hell forged hate
Clawing with rage out from below
Uprising realms of sickness grows

Mocking our doomed existence

Surrender to visions of a hopeless future
Prophecies foretell the end of time
Alliance of poisoning hate deployed
Implications of a dream that died
Visions Of Violence

From the wastelands of a mind gone mad

Foreboding dreams of a world to come

Chaotic visions now known to be
Haunting images of destiny
Ageless hands of a wicked race
Malicious fury of hell forged hate

Lives trained to fear
Fevered visions forming inside
In darkness swarming on mankind
Burning embers fill the sky
Transforming those left alive
Earth below now bleeds
Consuming fire glows beneath
Engulfed atmospheric cage
A final act has now been staged

Surrender to visions of a hopeless future
Prophecies foretell the end of time
Alliance of poisoning hate deployed
Implications of a dream that died

Haunting images now known to be
Chaotic visions fill destiny
Nightmare becomes reality
Twisted forms of chemistry

Ageless hands of a wicked race
Malicious fury of hell forged hate
Clawing with rage out from below
Uprising realms of sickness grows

From the wastelands of a mind gone mad

Foreboding dreams of a world to come
These visions become violence

09. From Wrath To Ruin

With open eyes
No longer tortured by sermons of lies
Watching it die
Faith crumbles as the angels they bleed

Losing grip on reality
Behind the shield of crumbling faith
Now the mighty have fallen
Left alone to suffer their fate

Religion is lost in spiraling descension
Ending at last the reign of the divine

Losing grip on reality
Behind the shield of crumbling faith
Now the mighty have fallen
Left alone to suffer their fate

The world opens its eyes
No longer paralyzed by sermons of lies
Broken chains of deceit
Faith of absurdity faces defeat
This wrath becomes your ruin

From Wrath To Ruin.....

10. Abysmal Gods

All things past and void of life
And all things yet to die and face the light
Must come before, kneel and be driven down
Before the lords of emptiness
Abysmal Gods abound.

Horror, anguish, fear and torture
Souls devoured at postmortem
Empty beings, power unrivaled
Dissolve existence, effortless control

Screams of suffering
Have no effect, wrath unbridled
Fury unrestrained, entity of darkness
Feeds on pain Cries ring empty
All mortality, purified through pain
Merciless control, Abysmal Gods now possess your soul.

Horror, anguish, suffer, fear and torture
There is no salvation
Souls devoured at postmortem
Empty beings, control this power unrivaled
To resist is useless
They dissolve the existence of all things.

11. Shadow Of Obliteration

Victims of a dying world
Succumb beneath a wrath of terror
Oblivious to the awaiting doom
A never ending rain of lire consumes

Blind they sleepwalk the path of lies
Offer prayers to an empty sky
Wasted effort only made in vain
Weak are tortured in endless pain

When darkness falls
Blind illusions deceive us
Hoping for a non existent savior
While we alone are strung enough

Victims of a dying faith
I have now grown to hate
And forever turn my back
To the lights weak embrace

Darkness once confined within
Demon absolved no longer bound
Dark forces controlling the mind
Spill forth onto realms of light

When darkness falls
Blind illusions deceive us
Hoping for a non existent savior
While we alone are strung enough

Victims of a dying world
Succumb beneath a wrath of terror
Oblivious to the awaiting doom
A never ending rain of fire burns....

Blind they sleepwalk the path of lies
Offer prayers to an empty sky
Wasted effort only made in vain
Weak are tortured in endless pain
