Enthralled by the void of souls, I am drawn into their world
Droning calls of my original name Promises that if I follow, I will be set free Let me be absorbed 02. Your Prayers Echo Into Nothingness
Where are your broken gods now?
They have failed you We found an escape from the dead paradise Your truth is repugnant This world has been plunged into depression Bound down with a false sense of a god Turning to polluted skies for answers Your empires have been abandoned The prayers awakened him The dying sun marks the arrival of doom incarnate Destroying the followers of light The return of disease This realm is now rotting Behold him with ten horns The blast of gloom consumes all Prayers for their creator summoned murk Blasts to waste centuries of faith Feeding on their belief Can you hear their pleas for God? "Living is my suffering" I'll be the end they want The void they saw in visions Lay down your symbols for the dread Witch of black voids Within this world I have given up I've seen the end, there's no other path Winds of despair have worn down my soul This creation is not from our world Where are your broken gods now? They have failed you We found an escape from the dead paradise Your idols are repugnant There will be no more funerals for the gods that we defeat You're baptized in black mucus Reborn into a world of anguish in which distance means despair Feeding on their belief Can you hear their pleas for God? End their faith 03. Indecipherable Sermons Of Gloom
I have always been dead inside
They call unto my name, their whispers they grow The bond between me and this world has been broken My beliefs have been scorched My faith is reduced to ash Their whispers grow louder Begins my transformation into the that will bring on the end Their dismal liturgies summoning Before you see the truth you must pray for misery Sadness, our journey through hopelessness will never end There are no saviours in this wretched world Dismal liturgies summon the bleak Voices casting incantations of doom Tell me to take their form I have become gloom They speak in tongues Incantations of doom I have become gloom There are no saviours in this wretched world Dismal liturgies summon the bleak I've always been dead inside My faith is reduced to ash Their whispers grow louder Voices casting the truth 04. Undying Dysphoria
Great Oppressor who feeds on human debris
My veins are filled with thorns, it hurts to breathe Great Depressor? release me from your strange grip I've been praying for dawn all of this time I was once human Before I threw myself over the cliffs into the ocean Reduced to the substance Crushed in fathoms The heavens besieged with the prayers of prey It's here now breathing Dormant dead memories The crown it wears in its skull The Oppressor casts down ash clouds to invoke undying dysphoria Enthroned are the burnt prophets Shards of light cut through and corrode the pillars in my mind Demolishing my reality Turning the skies red I hear him speak vile verses The grotesque forms thriving on our Behold sickness in its true form In front of the gates I fell apart Withering to the soil fertilized by the human debris Undying dysphoria 05. Centuries Of Deluge
The false prophets declared themselves gods to their prey
Ignoring signs of the great eclipses Kings of no claim preached untruths without fear Their advisers told of no hope They built their arks on absolute lies Blasting the earth with storms of revenge Their pursuit of the false gods of light will lead them into sewers of grey Submerged in endless tides of nihilism Swallowed oceans, the reprisal Their souls reclaimed Worlds transformed into decay Revenge from the lost depths Cast down into graves you had excavated Now you must submit to the master of dearth You were guided to the trenches of sorrow to feed from the troughs There is nothing left here, no more godliness Sentenced to centuries of deluge There is no guardian to retribution The fury of the alpha ignored will be the final eclipse This world will fill with the liquid funeral of gods As the eclipse closes you will learn there's none Swallowed oceans, the reprisal Their souls reclaimed Worlds transformed into bleak 06. The Decaying Light
The kingdoms of light will always be decaying when the shadows cloak
The merge begins, drained from this world The grotesque feeds on these realms I bear witness to the burning eclipse With lungs full of cinder speaking in tongues Falling to the ground, convulsing Suffering will cleanse us from sin They will bow their heads They will bend their knees We will drag your gods Where the light can't reach It speaks the unknown but I understand If you take the path of the anti-light you will learn he's the light He speaks to me in my mind, destroy Within my mind The kingdoms of light will always be decaying when the shadows cloak The merge begins, drained from this world The grotesque feeds on these realms I bear witness to the burning eclipse With lungs full of cinder speaking in tongues You will all drown in the decaying light They will bow their heads They will bend their knees We will drag your gods Where the light can't reach 07. The Great Abandonment
They died here, the idols we cherished
Caught in the fire, their wings turned to embers on the horizon Rain angelic ashes Forgotten We have all been left here to rot The forgotten son Abandoned Our lungs are filled with smoke Engulfed in a world left in burnt ruins Forsaken by bleak monstrosities The portals closed and we're left to live 08. Dredged Into Existence
We have been searching into our existence
For what we had shunned But it was too dim to find in the trench The embers vanquished We could not mine any further into our hearts All we could find was the harsh truth through the black sludge We discovered that the roots of the tree of life decaying Our despair grew so much that we craved death Dredged into existence All these moments blended into one another The suffering was long enough that we shunned enlightenment We have been searching into our existence For what we had shunned But it was too dim to find in the trench The embers vanquished Dredged into existence Dredged into existence 09. The Droning Monolith
Converted, I am now a vessel for the gods who have drowned
Their gift of visions has shown me to stray from the path The dejected gods and their kings of light are my shepherds I no longer need the light for I am devoted to the scorched lands No hope Filled with dread inside like sorrow fiends that roam This is my sentence? he is the destroyer The only salvation I hope for is But I can't be sure I am still living Transform me from my grief I long for my death? drifting through the dust This must be the end I'm sworn to the bleak Scorched lands No hope Converted? I am now a vessel for the gods Their gift of visions has transformed me I long for my death, drifting through the dust This must be the end Transform me from my grief 10. Dismal Liturgies
Their souls belong to me
I tore down their king Now wear his broken crown And sing hymns to the void The wretched is me Excavating their dread Through hope I lured them Toxins face my words Hear the forked tongue choirs The flames begin to ignite Hordes flow through the white gates Disciples drop to their knees Converting those who surrender their faith Blood flows through the white palace Despondency will flood my conscience Adversary, he journeys through their minds Shrouded in embers I hunt down the cherubs Who wish to protect The pillars of reverence With rusted void spears They implode in disgrace Singing dismal liturgies, only I listen When it all ends, this is what you will hear Utopia will burn Black smoke marks my return Dragging him from this throne room Watch your kingdom conquered And face the trials of scorn from those who laid down their weapons for me Witness me feast on your broken saviour Devouring your god In the final moments he will sing my dismal liturgies 11. Invocation In The Cathedral Of Dust
Conquered gods will always kneel for the dead enlightened one
With eyes lowered they will conceive Scriptures in their mind guides them to the fortress of dust Guarded by kings who spew fire and relish in death Here I lay in dust made from their hearts I walk into the light of self-carnage Their forms taking shape in the red mist It begins, blood seeps through the dust The ground breaks open, I fall into the chamber This is where all gods have come to die Engulfed in mucus, I start to dream in the minds of idols born in dying landscapes Here I am, absorb me Here I am, absorb me 12. Rebirth Through Excoriation
Carving with tusks of angels
I hollowed out the vessels of these fiends Immersed in iniquitous grey sludge Here I am, feeding on their dusted heart Thriving in dread, drinking venom in hopes of final death Writing in blood, I bear witness to the gateway voids Both worlds I have suffocated Submerged in the blinding shadows of rust This is the journey for the godless When they told of hell, this must have been it Let it take me, supreme sorrow Trapped inside this miscreation Rebirth through excoriation Dragged into voids Unholy instruments create the incisions for rebirth This beast still breathes Twisting through tendons, I search for my soul The roars of demons inside and I've become withdrawn from a world of revulsion Nourishing on the messenger Deliver me to the nether Carving with tusks of angels I hollowed out the vessels of these fiends Immersed in iniquitous grey sludge Here I am, feeding on their dusted heart Awakened, no longer dormant, my bones begin to break It's now my time of inert demons inside what I thought was a barren mind Transforming into Vomirk Ascending to a new state A search for the end of my life led to the beginning of true despair Rebirth Spewing from the skies Rebirth The light always dies 13. Withering
