Tracks



01. Brethren Of The Pentagram

Unified infernal minds
Darkness guides the spirit
Towards the illumination of fate

Sinister shapes aligned by the star
The constellation unwinds

The gorgon eyes engraved in crystal
Raping the brains of the weak
The inner sanctum of depravity
Only the strong endure

A phoenix born in awe
We taste the serpent once more

Smothering the cowering - engulfing insanity!

Congregation of the cranial damned
Brethren of the pentagram

Unified infernal minds
Darkness guides the spirit
Towards the illumination of fate

Congregation of the cranial damned
Brethren of the pentagram

Brethren of the pentagram

02. Accelerated Mutation

Draped in emptiness
The disease has multiplied
Arachnid heretics
Spin webs of holocaust

Entrails in the sky crack open
Bludgeoning acts of intimidation

Snake like illusions blur reality
Within the déjà vu of fatigue
A sickening séance
Tomb of life, sealed in grief

Drapedin emptiness
The disease has multiplied
Arachnid heretics
Spin webs of holocaust

Snake like illusions blur reality
Within the déjà vu of fatigue
A sickening séance
Tomb of life, sealed in grief

Accelerated mutation of the anti-god
Accelerated mutation of the anti-god

Like a black oozing tide of death
This destroyer of reason and logic
Like a black oozing tide of death
Like a black oozing tide of death

Snake like illusions blur reality
Within the déjà vu of fatigue
A sickening séance
Tomb of life, sealed in grief

03. The Embodiment Of Paradox And Chaos

Wired on anger, frustration and pain
The Chameleon strikes at their hearts
Natures murderer veiled in cowardice
Carving paths of despair

Where is this great Architect of the Universe?
Where is this god?
Who feeds from the wounds of chaos?

Distant and dispassionate
Perverted vulture surging on frailty
Instant and catastrophic
This breeder of anarchy demands faith

Where is this great Architect of the Universe?
Where is this god?
Who feeds from the wounds of chaos?

Within the womb of Armageddon
All who follow the doomed
Within the womb of Armageddon
The only belief is Pain... Pain is belief in pain!
Pain is belief in pain!

The embodiment of paradox and chaos
Wired on anger, frustration and pain
The Chameleon strikes at their hearts
Natures murderer veiled in cowardice
Carving paths of despair
Distant and dispassionate
Perverted vulture surging on frailty
Instant and catastrophic
Where is this god?
Who feeds from the wounds of chaos?

04. Necropolis Transparent

Necropolis transparent
No miracle, no salvation
Necropolis transparent
No miracle, no resurrection

The canyons blackened
And void of sound
The future nothing
But salt in the wound

Necropolis transparent
No miracle, no salvation
Necropolis transparent
No miracle, no resurrection

The children accursed
Consumed by guilt
The signal lost
Under the desolate sea

A sacrifice for culture
Plague still raging - stabbing your eyes
Weapons for our degeneration - stabbing your eyes

Necropolis transparent
Necropolis transparent

A sacrifice for culture
Plague still raging - stabbing your eyes
Weapons for our degeneration - stabbing your eyes

Necropolis transparent
Necropolis transparent

05. Parasite Drama

Faceless assassins wearing masks of sympathy
Faking attention vague with apathy
It intensifies my need, my need to defend me
It intensifies my need to escape this parasite drama

Soulless creations shield their plastic hearts
Their eyes, a dark mirror, pools of deceit

It intensifies my need, my need to defend me
It intensifies my need to escape this parasite drama
Persecuted? Persecuted for individuality
Resurrected - the hate for falseness smothering me

The cuts still bleed but they reinforce the will
Ignorance is cast aside

Persecuted? Persecuted for individuality
Resurrected - the hate for falseness smothering me

The cuts still bleed but they reinforce the will
Ignorance is cast aside

I need to escape this parasite drama
Parasite, parasite, parasite drama

Alone it seems in this den of Tragedy

The Liars, the Fevered, the Drugged
The Imprisoned, the Acid Scarred
A Choir - of tragic resignation

06. Anvil Of Flesh

A language dead
A complex resolved
A terrible omen black
The true shape of our hell veiled

Retribution inherited
The anvil of flesh awaits
Statues of masked men
Burn the writings of old

Stricken with panic
The deception finally penetrated
The madness born in blood
The legend intact

Retribution inherited
The anvil of flesh awaits
Statues of masked men
Burn the writings of old

Anvil of flesh
Anvil of flesh

Invert the evolution
Of the adept of freedom lost
Invert the evolution
Of the adept of freedom lost

Anvil of flesh
Anvil of flesh

Invert the evolution
Of the adept of freedom lost
Invert the evolution
Of the adept of freedom lost

Quivering and poisoned
Through abandoned lands
The sovereign elements untouched
Imperial caress vanished

07. Rage Incarnate Reborn

The fathomless signs
Displaying the virtue reborn
Breathing down your neck
In a thunderous roar

Emperors and priests denounce
The choirs of the righteous roar
Emperors and priests denounced
Fathered in the ruins of hell

The cancerous cells removed
Fictitious lives enrolled
The assembly line restored
Rage incarnate reborn

Emperors and priests denounce
The choirs of the righteous roar
Emperors and priests denounced
Fathered in the ruins of hell

Broken, silent, speechless
In prophetic sadness obscured
Through the crystal vaults of the heavens
A demigod in approaching
The swarming of locust
In the abyss unleashed

Broken, silent, speechless
In prophetic sadness obscured
The swarming of locust
In the abyss unleashed

No apostles, no prophets
Hell has no fears for us
No apostles, no prophets
We repent for no heaven

08. Unseen Enemy

Life is draining me
Awaking to deception
Masters of frailty
Scrape us of identity
We suppress suspicions
To tolerate their concepts
I fear our lives are tainted with blood

Repel the iron fist of the machine
Unseen enemy we seek you out
Smash the face of oppressive faith
Unseen enemy, I cast you out

This world is cursed
Butchered by the past
The struggle is futile
A constant dogma
Crowned in filth and sloth
The system will collapse
I fear my life is tainted with blood

Fodder for the corporate elite
Human sheep clones reprogrammed

Regress their power

Repel the iron fist of the machine
Unseen, enemy we seek you out
Smash, the face of oppressive faith
Unseen enemy, I cast you out

09. Stygian Reverberations

Veils and robes weigh us down
As indifference ascends

Light a torch for death
Exhale the breath of graves

Impaled and cleansed
Our lust burns cold
Buried forever in black

Uncertain lurks oblivion
Stygian - the reverberations

Cloaked in the scent of our decay
Veins they burn white with pain

10. Life Of Devastation

Why did it start? How did it all begin?
The seeds of purity scattered
And corruption gnawed within
Lost from your heart, the unbearable pain
You embraced your sadness
Swimming the sewers of mental slavery

Climbing a ladder of desperation
Living a life of devastation
Drowning the hopes and feeding the failure
Trapped - trapped - trapped
In this life of devastation

Gasping for air tainted with fear
A bitter cocktail
Drowning insecure thoughts
Clutching at straws
No more roads to take
Prepare to face the end
No more tears to cry
Crawling in mindless desolation
Content with a life of devastation?
You cannot escape its poisoned reflection
Trapped - trapped - trapped
In this life of devastation
A life of devastation!

Imprisoned... imprisoned within
Self-destructive... self-destructive hymns

Climbing a ladder of desperation
Living a life of devastation
Drowning the hopes and feeding the failure
Trapped - trapped - trapped
In this life of devastation
A life of devastation!

Gasping for air tainted with fear
A bitter cocktail
Drowning insecure thoughts
Clutching at straws
No more roads to take
Prepare to face the end
No more tears to cry

11. Roar Of A Thousand Throats

Arise from the pit of plague
Into the realm of skin
Fly the flags of hate and war
Abort the ruler impure

Disturbance ever present
Through the unhallowed black

The weight of the funeral urn
And the voice of a storm

Fly the flags of hate and war
Abort the ruler impure

Disturbance ever present
Through the unhallowed black
Dead souls will not sleep
The roar of a thousand throats

12. Infiltrate And Destroy

Molding the extremity, contorting its depravity
Life can be a deformity, a solitude of pain, of pain

The clawing hands of perversity writhe
They twist, they tear our fears, our strife

Infiltrate - infiltrate and destroy
Infiltrate - infiltrate and destroy

Progressions of failure they intensify
Inhaling the stench of compromise

Regrets in life that we all harness
The bitterness that threatens our willpower

That threatens our willpower
That threatens our willpower

Let society be the grindstone
On which you sharpen your hatred

Regrets in life that we all harness
The bitterness that threatens our willpower

Inhaling the stench of compromise

Infiltrate - infiltrate and destroy
Infiltrate - infiltrate and destroy

Regrets in life that we all harness
The bitterness that threatens our willpower

That threatens our willpower
That threatens our willpower

Will society be the grindstone
On which you carve your hatred?

Regrets in life that we all harness
The bitterness that threatens our willpower

Progressions of failure they intensify
The clawing hands of perversity writhe

13. Discharge The Fear

Life is slipping away from us all
Endless - the timeless fall
Twisting thru the machinery of fate
Sadness climbs mounting scorn
Wishing we were never born
But we're here non-the-less
Apologies seem an infinite wish
There is strength in weakness

Pride the destroyer assassin of faith
Regret the past but learn for future
Sin the aggressor the tyrant of persecution
Relive the moments, discharge the fear

Belief is crumbling fading black
All the lives we have attacked
Who is there to bring us to our knees?
Selfish loathing empty shells
Judgement day the 13th bell
And our lives are at an end
Apologies seem an infinite wish
There is strength in weakness
Release the rage, accept the truth
Cleanse the poison thru

Pride the destroyer assassin of faith
Regret the past but learn for future
Sin the aggressor the tyrant of persecution
Relive the moments, discharge the fear

Discharge the fear!

Sadness climbs mounting scorn
Wishing we were never born
Who is there to bring us to our knees?
To bring us to our knees?

Cleanse the poison, cleanse the poison pure
Release the rage and accept what's true

Pride the assassin destroyer of faith
Discharge the fear!
Sin the aggressor the tyrant

14. Vomiting Evil

The horrendous white abyss of shrieking delirium
A dirge sung for existence
The symphony of the conquering worm

The serpent or wisdom
Orchestrated from below

Barbed with pain, the revelation
The festering plague, world without end
Crowned in nothing, I am the wound
The heir to the ages of wonder
Vomiting evil

Disillusion, arcane and profane
The raging chaos
The testament of man
The creatures' eyes - heavy with sin
Unlock the gate, once again

Barbed with pain, the revelation
The festering plague, world without end
Crowned in nothing, I am the wound
The heir to the ages of wonder

Endless funerals
A reign of razor-sharp routine
Cemetery diversions
Our lives dissolve into the void
Vomiting evil

React with the disease
This abattoir - a maze that dreams
React with the disease

15. Stigmatyr

Greed is a knife, the scars run deep
Deep are wounds that bury the shame
Chained to betrayal it builds a cage
A cage of deceit filled with pain

Nailed to creations demise
Bleed into the pit of lies
As with life and now in death
Bare this crucifix of flesh

Accepting fate, denying truth
Condemned by filth it reflects in you eyes
The concept of love twisted and torn
Destroy all who care, death is release

Nailed to creations demise
Bleed into the pit of lies
As with life and now in death
Bare this crucifix of flesh

Nailed to creations demise
Bleed into the pit of lies
As with life and now in death
Bare this crucifix of flesh

Greed is a knife, the scars run deep
Deep are wounds that bury the shame
Chained to betrayal it builds a cage
A cage of deceit filled with pain

16. Through The Eyes Of My Shadow Self

Drowned my last doubt in the fountain of guilt
Summoned the virus to quench the plague

Through the eyes of my shadow self
The avalanche of desolation
Through the eyes of my shadow self
The sinister exorcism

Reincarnation - the illusion of my spirit deathless
Abomination - the love remains unborn

Through the eyes of my shadow self
The avalanche of desolation
Through the eyes of my shadow self
The sinister exorcism

Drowned my last doubt in the fountain
The fountain of guilt

Through the eyes of my shadow self
The avalanche of desolation
Through the eyes of my shadow self
The sinister exorcism

Through the eyes of my shadow self
The avalanche of desolation
Through the eyes of my shadow self
The sinister exorcism

17. Tartarus
