Tracks



01. The Cruelest Construct

I set my will against thee with black heart and blooded hand
To unleash a wrath of ages upon this mortal world of man
Oaths spoken of hatred, on my life I pledge your death
Humanity relinquished, consigned to the abyss

From clay and earth a titan forged to wield apocalypse
A name inscribed on goatskin hide invokes metamorphosis
Intone the incantations, dark powers manifest
Shadows casting shadow contort and coalesce

Awaken servant, arcane and divine... Destroy!

Ad noctum, de profundis
Vorare, abominatus

Behold!
The cruelest construct
Unbeing demolisher of worlds

Soulless, relentless, great eyes of burning coal
Silent, unrepentant, a great calamity of souls
Hand of the unmaker, the creator of the end
Mighty and dreadful is this force that brings your death

02. The Unseen Hand

Descending torch lit procession
Chanting, invoking, provoking the dark

Slumbering lich, demigod, rise from your crypt, grant us audience

All seeing, all being, returned from death
Share now the secrets of the worlds beyond
No words are spoken, necks become broken
Flesh melts away and we rise to the aether
Formless, we behold the machinations of the universe
Unfold the unknown
This is the place where the knot begins

Born of woman and man, born to suffer
Born to struggle to survive
What pervading force perpetuates this?
What spurs existence on?
Ageless it circles, spun and woven by the unseen hand

Young fools, seekers of truth
Revelations, knowledge cosmic
Secrets not suffered the living to know

We are insects, we are dust
Insubstantial and small
We curse into the vastness
Truth burns us all
The unseen hand

03. Doomwhore

DOOM!

Shadow upon creation
Crowned in mist
Over frigid winds
Dark shapes drift
Eyes toward the apex
Smouldering within
Insatiable compulsion
Doom calling to ascend

Endless dead ornament her flesh
Their eyes burn white in the pale sun
Breathless they struggle
Defeated, denied
Not for their glory, but hers they die

Fierce winds howl and hurl daggers of ice
Fangs of the serpent entwine
Beacon of rapture, smasher of dreams
Glamour of despair undying

Her lair is the sky
Elemental sorrow and strife
Frozen gaze, beckoning
Eldritch whispers, deafening

Blinded by pride
Burnt, broken, scoured inside
Ominous entity, merciless whore

05. Gravehammer

Wielder of death
Gravehammer rending flesh
It aches of memory
Tortured and endless

It manifests
From the fiery depths
Where old hate awaits
To be called forward

Dark oaths to nameless gods
Covenant of souls and blood
To possess anguish
To wield despair
Hatred overwhelming
Bitterness and ruin
Bloodlust incarnate
Unleashed... consumes

Forged in the furnace of the underworld
When man first killed man
Infernal essence, sentient, pulsing
Killing instinct drives the hand
Ruthless primordial conflict
Souls forfeit, branded black
Doom lay on the brow of the bearer
A mark for dark hands to drag back

06. The Claw Is The Law

The stars align
The end has come
A new ages of darkness
Unfolds the earth born realm

Necromantic howling
Inhuman shrieks in an unknown tongue
Clouds swirl and darken
From the deeps their masters come

Forms monstrous, rise from the sea
Their dreaming over, free again to rein

The claw!
The claw is the law

Black wings unfurl
One thousand eyes open within
The old ones awoken
Their will be spoken

"Your madness feeds us
Lo! Horror and despair
Exalt before our idols
Ye wretched, cursed, ensnared"

Blood... Blood calls to them
Iron... Iron binds them
To ice...To ice...
Bound no more

The claw!
The claw is the law

07. Progeny Of The Leviathans

We pass in the wake of immortals
Bourne upon eddies of flame
Legacy of our forbears
Their blood flows through our veins

Heirs of usurpers
Scions of a conqueror race
Born in a time of upheaval
Upon us their sins have been laid
Chains not of our making
Bind us to the paths of war
Tread in the footsteps of giants
Our nature insists that we rules by the first and the sword!

The blood shall awaken fires dormant inside
Those once forsaken
Reclaim their dominion, all that shines beneath the sky

Traverse the dark passage, the light has turned away
The eyes of the end open to death and decay

The hour has come for monstrous deeds
Cast off the man become the beast

Our ancestors bid us to join them
Armageddon our rebirth
Annihilation our atonement
So passes the glory of our earth
Nothing left to burn!

08. Throne To The Wolves

Crimson burning horizons
Black smoke boils into the sky
We've sown the earth with carnage
And gorged on the carrion
Through the travail of ages
We've known the butcher's toil
To sate our wretched gluttony
For avarice and turmoil

Endless, they've longed to suppress us
Denied the dark which resides within
Entranced, they seek to posses us
To indulge the beast upon The Reaver Throne

Know us as your enemy
Our numbers gather in darkness
Our fortress is the shadows
Cast by the sanguine moon

Priestess, bur the bones and drink the ashes
Summon our forsaken ones to us
Drawn by the conflict
Beckoned by this call of strife

Rise my brothers
Take heart, now take form
The time is upon us
For wolves to go to war

09. Sacerdotum Tyrannis

Concocting the will of the divine
Conceived from mortal minds distorted
God against god, their scourge descends
Inflicting madness upon the uncleansed

Ruthless words and deeds divine
Plagues to deaden hearts and choke minds
Hatred unburdened, justified
Blessings bestowed, tenets defiled

Purification of the clenched first
The rule of might that all comprehend
Enslaved to power and selfishness
Disciples of corruption

Gods of paper
Revel in suffering that's pure to the end
Was faith rewarded? For the false pretend
Bleating of fools
The world before them that they don't comprehend
Hide behind words, monsters of men

Come seeking death and be obliged
Upon those, bestow annihilation
Truth of their lives turned to lies
Sanctimonious provocation

This serpentine device
Demagogue, cabal decried
Order to chaos and anarchy
Mortal attrition the end of things
