Sothis - De Oppresso Liber lyrics



Tracks



01. Of Night And Silence

We are creatures of a lone existence,
Unholy walkers of the line,
Stalking 'tween every lonely shadow,
Lurking neath the fabric of time.

We constitute of a bastard nation,
Mass descendant of an ancient line,
Disinters of the lame society,
And now we rise against your lies!

We are reapers of the silent harvest,
Uncontrollable and poisoned minds,
Creatures of the absent watcher,
Born and raised outside the hive!

Blind Inflicted with cryptic visions
Deaf Muted by ancestral legends
Dumb Silenced by tainted guidance
Cry Echoes of night and silence

We come from the earth underneath the trees,
We follow every secret, every path underneath,
We offer no apologies, we enter no pleas,
We swing from the very gallows that they begged us to bring!

Emerging in the moonlight the heat chills our skin,
Blanketed in silence the night bathes our sins,
Creatures of existence congregate the hive,
Children of tomorrow learning how to be alive.

Unfaltering the cursed weakness sanctimonious lives entwined,
Degradation of the mortal coil perpetrators of the altered crime.

Exhortations uttered under moonlight propaganda of the wretched one,
Dwelling blindly through mystic visions, incantations from a cryptic unknown tongue.

Blind Inflicted with cryptic visions
Deaf Muted by ancestral legends
Dumb Silenced by tainted guidance
Cry Echoes of night and silence

02. De Oppresso Liber

Wicked complications as the prophecy arrives,
Sudden loss of consciousness remains,
Twisted long predictions of the final confrontation,
Twitching far beneath the horror bleeding from the heavens!

Premature assemblage of insidious reprise,
Thunder rolls like bones in the night,
Losing all semblance of a natural demise,
The acrid air around us reeks like certain death!

Gaze towards the sky - Feel the black, let it saturate you!
Release your grasp - Feel your faith slip through your fingers!

We liberate you - We defy as we set you free!
We emancipate you - Emerging from the shadows, we commit our final blasphemy!

Deafened by the silence for in here the words run thin,
Balancing along the bloody line,
Invasion and the conquering of the human heart,
Deconstruction of the faith buried deep inside!

Cultivate the hatred and reap the seeds of lies,
We wander blindly down with treachery,
Slaughtering the clergy nothing asked but something gained,
Demonic violation the masses watch with apathy!

This gashtly throng - The scions of a conquering race!
Impious eminence - Begotten from an ancient line!

De Opresso Liber - Resemblance of unholier times!
De Opresso Liber - Twisting Black Penetration Simplifies!

Washed in clarity, the blinders removed as the smoke drifts away,
Grasping at what remains of sanity!
Quickly shed the contradiction,
Curse the infraction at once realign,
Descend down the passage, out into the clear moonlight!

Reject the lies - Release and simplify!
Reclaim the night - Venture forth and embrace your amnesty!

We liberate you - Embrace your amnesty!

03. Beneath A Black Boiling Sky

The Clouds rain hatred on all that weep,
And the soil runs red with a raw condensation
Within the depths of desperation!

And the pain will soon end,
As will all,
And the silence shall run deep
Far beneath the crawl!

Beneath the black and boiling sky,
The wretched minions writhe and weep below,
Crying out to a mad, faceless god,
And now he ignores the call!

Beneath the black and boiling sky,
All shadows have dissapeared,
The end of our suffering soon draws near,
And we await the end with bated breath!

All is forgotten in the landscapes of the dead,
Where the traitors have met their end,
These are the lands of rape and ruin,
Where the wretched spiders spin their death,
The lost remains of the ancients litter the earth like desperation,
Leaving nothing but pain and fear,
And hatred and wretched memories!

Beneath the black boiling sky, above damnation,
The shadows escape us and the birds fall silent,
The glories we cherished so proud and everlasting,
Now extinct were wading knee deep in filth and hatred!

I'm screaming at the sky - I'm writhing in my lost salvation!
Unfaltering decry - I'm twisting in the last goodbye!
Stagnation - Temptation - Starvation of the famished ones!
I'm drowning in the vacuous translation,
And the hope that one day soon we will all be dead!

04. Lunar Descent

Fading into madness,
Clutching onto life,
Blinded by the ghastly darkness,
Thirsting for the fading light,
Imprisoned by an insane universe,
Where God has clearly died!

Crippled by the sadness,
Mourning the astral light,
A ghost of it's formal self,
A beacon dying from the fading light,
Alternating shutters of moonlight and black,
Slowly fading into despair!

Rising from the blackness,
For the last time - never again!
Casting horror upon the ones
That fear to speak it's name!
Cultivating the soils of sorrow,
The tides life still and lifeless
On the sands of blackened shores!

No rays of light can penetrate
This veritable nightmare!
Lost forever in the labyrinth
Of night and silence!

And the world darkened underneath,
A shroud of cursed blackness,
Forever we plummet now
Into the pits of myth and madness!

Cresting the black horizon,
Our could hears filled with dread!
They won't see what lies ahead,
Once the sun has faded and the moon is dead!
Out into blackness,
Towards whatever awaits us there,
One last wretched funeral,
Mourn the lunar descent!

05. Obsidian Throne

Pain a flash of light a glimmer of steel,
The crimson viscious starts to flow,
Releasing my victims from life,
Echoes of a thousand cries,
Carried on the winds of time,
And then there's war!

Hammering down my crippling blow forever more,
Passing my judgement ; no mercy is shown,
Sitting on the throne of crippled madness,
Deaf to all the cries of pity and sadness,
No, not immortal I am flesh and bone,
Silently perched on my Obsidian Throne!

I stand the test of time,
I claim this throne of mine,
I am salvation, creation, liberation of the bleeding kind!

I can feel it in the air a black convulsion of despair,
The memory unprepared all cower beneath my cold hard stare,
I carry on the ancient line and champion the test of time,
Carry on Black Heart of mine and never shall they stand against me!

Mother of Ravens - Father of Lies,
Brother of Hatred, weeping blood from the crimson skies,
Sister of Mercy - Daughter of Death,
Son of the Serpents - Venomous 'til my last breath!

Gather one last time, my congregation,
Suffer the devine black fascination,
Conquer and proclaim ancestral nation,
Wicked and profane this population,
Marching one last time to claim my kingdom on this black unholy land!

06. Defiance

Distraught fathers of forgotten sons, now band together in defiance,
We stand undimed defiant of oppression abidingly abhorrent,
One from many of many one fathers of sons and wives abandoned,
Our enemies destined to die suffer attrition disease and famine!

Tonight black boiling clouds obscure the dappled starry sky,
The constellations remain hidden from my eyes,
The bleak forewarning speaks of our demise,
We shall mourn our king or sacrifice our mother!

Messenger of the wretched bastards envoy that seeks surrender,
Wallow down in the earth and water for what you seek you can dig it out yourself,
Side by side we stand, my brothers do not wish for foreign things,
Weapons in hand never surrender Molon Labe come and take them!

Defy the raining arrows as they blot out the sky,
So much the better we shall fight beneath their shade,
Four days awaiting for the cede that never comes,
And on the fifth ten thousand cowards to the slaughter!

Arise the cliffs, climb high the sea, it mocks us from below,
The hot gates, our only allies we defy,
The second wave, our foes drop down one by one,
Over the mountain of the dead, they crawl only to die!

Saturated in sweat and blood, we stand with our brothers beneath the flood,
Defiant in strenght, honor and pride the flames of hatred burn behind our eyes!

One last stand only we remain, with hands and teeth we defend our domain,
Raining arrows, we meet our demise, from the depths we scream our last cries!

Traitor, we fall by your poisoned words,
Betrayer, you our blackest nightmare!

Clandestine council at dawn, were left behind to stand and fight,
Mourn now, cursed oppressor, we claim your brother's blood tonight!
We stand with your leader and brother we fight with you with our last breaths, brother!
Forty years you return to mother, we remain eternally, we lie, we lie!

The blood of fifty thousand fallen stain our spears, our faces, our hands,
The air still overwhelmingly, thick with the acrid stench of the dead,
Epitaph of the fallen, eternally our pledge remains,
Go tell our brotherss pesserby that here by their law we lie,
we lie!

07. The Cold Disconnection

The cold disconnection remains,
Far beneath what the secret retains,
Shrouded by darkness in the abyss,
Suffocated by ignorant bliss!

Unclean, unseen, nefarious and obscene,
Blackened and from the inside out,
Spawning hatred killing hope, swinging from the gallow's rope,
Thirty pieces silver lying at your feet!

Beware the dark con of man,
Speaking words that run thin,
Puncture wounds of the forked tongue,
Weeping putrid viscous, blacker than sin!

Chaos reigned, now restored anarachy forevermore,
Light dies fading into the night,
Depredated mourning of the untold code now,
Frozen beneath the immortal crippling cold!

Suffocated by hatred and choking on rage,
Descending down into this unhallowed age,
Pell back the flesh and see what remains,
Insidious madness runs through my veins!

Liar - offender - beguiler, would you dare my rage?
cheater - deceiver, we disengage!
Embrace of deceit - A stab in the back!
Unrepentant - prepare for attack!

Hungry concenctrations on the plight,
In the darkness of the failing light,
Standing black against the wall,
Perpetrate the third and final wall!

Fight for pride - Fight for man - Never fail to understand,
Vengeance shall be mine,
Is there nothing sacred to the brother of lies? NO!
Suffer in Hell 'til the end of time!

08. Lair Of The Benighted

Breathing deeply the stench of desperation,
Crestfallen reprobate imprisoned in self deception,
The breadth of ignorance spanning abysmal canyons,
Aeons of treachery, all traces of faith abandoned!

Imprisoned alive in this wretched hive,
Infected inside impetuous putrefaction,
Divine excision igniting derision,
With deadly precision hunting the ancient lie!

The dappled shadows - The waiting gallows,
The inverted hallows - Open and festering,
Facing the dead with courage insteadm
Infection has spread into the embodiment of life!

In this place they gather the lies from which they'll never revive,
The hopes that they will survive assassination!

Descending wholly into the void - Enflaming passions destroyed!
All hopes of mercy deployed into extinction!

Imprisoned alive in this wretched hive,
Infected inside impetuous putrefaction,
Divine excision igniting derision,
With deadly precision hunting the ancient lie!

Blackness precludes dreams of escape - Encountered legions of hate,
Inside eternally wait for redemption!

Blind, invalidation, branded, fallen,
Twisted contradiction, blind invalidation of life!

Ageless strangers infect with fallacy,
Treachery self evident definite policy,
Gaping infliction open and festering,
Devious putrefaction poisoning this richly salted lie!

09. Perpetual

Welcome my sorrow back to this edgy nightmare once again,
Hollow and absent the thoughts of fury screaming in the night,
Ripped down from the darkened skies,
Haunted by visions exhumed from memories unnaturally,
Dripping from sockets torn from the moments lost unfaltering,
Out from the horrifying light!

Feel the sorrow clutch you from below, perpetual this anguished fright,
Feel the hammer smash down once again, falling victim to eternal night!

Suffer in silence into the ceiling vortex up above,
Grasping at empty air as the floor, it grips you from below,
Unfaltering the black stained cries,
Unclean and desperate, anguished ceremony under fire,
Hissing of vitriol, buried premature under alive!
Treacherous misshapen hive!

Feel the anguish clutch you from below, perpetual as the light,
Feel the hammer smash down once again, shadows running deep into the night!

Unearthly solitudes joining memories forgotten,
Unholy beckonings calling from memories unawnsered,
Inside out again calling from memories unfaltered,
Leaped from the bounds of life shadowed by eternal light!

Perpetual and eternal and infernal!

Discordia alight, blacker than homemade sin,
Ablaze with the light of a hundred thousand fires burning,
Inside out again, enslaved by eternal light,
Tearing and unraveling the fabric of sanity!

Perpetual and eternal and infernal!

Filling the hollow spaces of my conscience once again,
Radiating outward and back into the psyche deep inside,
Enshrouded by the vacant light,
Praying for the silence and for the tortured visions to subside,
Sinking down, deeper perpetual the nightmare carries on,
and on, and on, it never ends!

Feel the horror clutch you from below, perpetual the funeral pyre,
Feel the hammer smash down once again,
Losing all the semblance of regular light!
