Frozen Ember
02:24
|
|||
Let the storm devour the light
Let your burden of duty expire
Spend your days in ominous doom
And draw inspiration from life’s gloom
Yet there remains on the horizon
A frozen ember, a shimmer of a new dawn
And still I bear in this battered heart
A saddened roar still yearning for life
Yet there remains on the horizon
A frozen ember, a shimmer of a new dawn
And still I bear in this battered heart
A saddened roar still yearning for life

Hel
05:21
|
|||
All the wounded and broken bow down, pleading
Yet I feel no humanity
For I have seen too much of their incessant march of absurdity
Wreaking havoc on what they have created
And I am the ancient weaver of your dismal fate
For I dwell, emerge from within your tarnished nightmares
I feel no humanity
Inside this cold, barren void
There is no sympathy for your infelicity
For all these rites and prayers resounds insufficiency
I am the ruler from the world beyond
The one who reigns over humanity
Forger of the elements
The omnipotent and omnipresent
There is no sympathy for your infelicity
For all these rites and prayers resounds insufficiency
Your civilizations and their history are just passing moments in my divine eyes
And your burden is not my cross to bear
My thoughts extend beyond your parasitic kind
I detest your race, soon to meet its end in mass suicide
Every downfall begins when pride saturates the mind
Behold the end of those who doubt my sanctity
My shape is found in sun and moon, inferno clothes my body
My thoughts extend beyond your parasitic kind
I detest your race, soon to meet its end in mass suicide
Time has unveiled the irrevocable corruption
Streaming through your heritage
Sentenced eternally to Hel
And learn to dance with flames
To cauterize the shame
Mankind engulfed in hate
As I watch in contempt

Face(s)
04:49
|
|||
There’s this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
That I can’t tell apart from my own
So I cut it open wide
To see if I can differentiate the one on my neck
and the one that stares through the darkest depths of my mind
And the familiarity gets hold of my breath
I felt I've been reborn
But the past will never let go
No choice but to shoulder the cost
There’s this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
So I let the currents fill my lungs
Let the sorrow drown my past
A once guilty memory spreads like tumor within
If death can save me I would dig my way to my grave
I have ruined the lines I have drawn
I have been shackled
The past will never let go
There’s this face I see in the water
As cold as the void inside my soul
So I let the currents fill my lungs
Let the sorrow drown my past
Only after the strife I learned to release
And I will run down the stream
To wash away this face of deceit
We bind ourselves to our reasons
Just to feel a little safer forgetting to live
We neglect our true identity
So please tell me
Do you feel just a little safer?
Or are you worn to the bones through denial?
I have only one truth to spare
Only after the strife I learned to release
And I will run down the stream
To wash away this face of deceit
Like the rain, we keep on falling
Not to vanish but to breathe meaning
Into our wounds
Into the defeat
Into our struggle
Into something

Hate and Carrion
05:51
|
|||
Deep in the boundless realm of untouched, pure human notion
The grand cradle of civilization
The gods in us scream for perfection
Rejecting wanton conduct
Practiced by the disgraceful among us
Discoloration of our sacred temple
We must deprogram
The weeds among our dying species
Through constant expurgation
The infection of the mind shall be cleansed
Our vigilant watch will reveal
The colors inside our vibrant thoughts
Still waiting, forlorn
Set in motion by silence alone
Mouths spitting hate and carrion
Our trinity decays
Mouths spitting hate and carrion
Our trinity decays
No more living the life of forgiveness
Resist the words that have clouded our senses
I saw the ones above bleeding out their souls
From their hollow eyes, the gift that we abuse
I saw the ones above bleeding out their souls
From their hollow eyes, the gift that we abuse
And now the ones above became numb to our despair
For we turned their gifts into our curse
Still waiting, forlorn
Set in motion by silence alone
Mouths spitting hate and carrion
Our trinity decays
From dust we have risen, lifted by the great unknown
But all we’ve ever woven; hate and carrion

Earth Eaters
03:49
|
|||
Enslaved by greed, we fear the loss of substance
Solicitude censored in calculative eyes
Surrounded by the calamity we brought upon ourselves
Landmark cities to become the graveyard of our dreams
On land of concrete I count the days in waste
And every knowledge gained extends our hideous fate
Pride, the everlasting sickness, bound to us like chains
Always shedding new tears over old grief
Consumed by ego, we dress ourselves in vanity
Co-existence is long-forgotten so longs as progress endures
How quickly we sought to loathe what we once cherished?
How deaf are we to the sound of its wail?
On land of concrete I count the days in waste
And every knowledge gained extends our hideous fate
Pride, the everlasting sickness, bound to us like chains
Always shedding new tears over old grief
We worship our collective failure
Always shaping all things to our will
We feast on its flesh until the earth itself kneels
Crushed under the ruins of our host
Will be the moment we realize the blood on our hands
As we once came from the unknown
The path we took will lead us into the void
I count, I count the days in waste
On land of concrete I count the days in waste
And every knowledge gained extends our hideous fate
Pride, the everlasting sickness, bound to us like chains
Always shedding new tears over old grief
Always feasting as if this was our last meal

The blood and howl of the slain swirl up in the air
As the silent kings fill their coffers
Striking forward in to the enemy’s lair
Armed with hate we trigger a new reign
As grief fill your closed eyes
On the naked plains, the soulless bodies lay
Echoing silently the death of a race
Behold the march of the war-machines
With each village raped
Traditions neutered without a trace
All common principles are lost here
We just answer our cause
On the naked plains, the soulless bodies lay
Echoing silently the death of a race
But soon I fell, lifeless
The same grief in your eyes engulfing me whole
This is a dead letter for the tyrants to falsify
Misguided pawns in a scripted game of fools
Throwing lives down the drain, driven to our doom
Spirit indoctrinated, child of lost cause
The blood and howl of the slain swirl up in the air
The everlasting scars of war
Embedded in our wretched hearts
With every touch
We poison our mother
Though battles manufactured
We are the ones left smothered
Feeding fear into our souls
Left to mourn and suffer
The power to be and choose
Lies dormant in your hands
With every touch
We poison our mother
Though battles manufactured
We are the ones left smothered
Feeding fear into our souls
Left to mourn and suffer
The power to be and choose
Lies dormant in your hands

Deathlike Silence
04:28
|
|||
Frozen is my state of progress
And the rot is spreading through my veins again
Fighting the curse so violently
When in truth, the plague blossomed from within
But all this time, my intentions were to contain every trace of volition
And in the process I have spared myself
From relentless strife (strife and pain)
Through toil and trial I’ve earned myself the serenity
So keep your fucking lecture to yourself
But is pride something worth my devotion?
Living as a slave to this coward’s tongue
Frozen is my state of progress
A prisoner to the winter’s silence
All that’s left in these worn-out hands
Security and oppression
Cause I’m walking on the blurred line between,
Between my pride and concession
To conquer ego will be my greatest trial
Accepting defeat to save me from my fall
My legacy will be deathlike silence
When I’m gone
Indecision, the familiar yet hidden addiction
I’m tired of asking myself the same old question
Cause I’m walking on the blurred line between,
Between my pride and concession
So don’t pull these strings until I’ve learned to fly

Disordered
04:02
|

I can hear the sound of grace from the throat of hell
Summoning my inner demons, blood splattered on these walls
It’s a world made for the strong to prey on the weak
And now I can’t resist this
Primeval urge to disassemble
The blinding beauty of their godly figures
The inexplicable thrill in my hands
As my instrument penetrates through flesh
For all the days I’ve suffered
I’ll leave this world in torment
Some still voice their words of disdain
And I’ll rip their throats out
“Justice is served”
So lord guide me to disassemble
The blinding beauty of their godly figures
The inexplicable thrill in my hands
As they read my final rites
I am just searching for the cure
The one you’ll never comprehend
You call me disordered
But I’m just searching my way out
A higher logic orchestrates my inner rage
These demeaning titles can’t break my conscious
Label me antisocial, cancerous degenerate
I am never alone for I lay with my lambs
We will never understand what barricades our thoughts
And maybe I want this silence, so point the gun at me
We will never understand what barricades our thoughts
We will never understand, so point the gun at me
I am just searching for the cure
The one you’ll never comprehend
You call me disordered
But I’m just searching my way out
Bound and restrained, gazing at heaven
My purpose fulfilled, chaotic seeds sowed
Bound and restrained, sinking into hell
And There I lay with my lambs

Generation Sin
03:57
|
|||
The putrid stench of an expired era
A pact of sinners writhing in their own filth forever
First sin : Self-conceived pride
To justify your worthless being with your hollow success
Sin two : Exploitive intentions
Leeching off your followers down to their bones
Next sin : Covetous nature
Committing fratricide for your fifteen minutes of fame
Infesters of an innocent culture
Breeders of failure
Impaled high for all to behold
We squirm in the waste you have laid
Bathed in the curse of our father’s mistakes
Age of desolation
Will we ever find a way to amend?
Generation sin
Our legacy tainted
We’ve lost all that we’ve ever loved
Lost to condemnation
Fingers pointed to next generation – to us
No!
With rotten roots, all trees have to wither
The flocks of songbirds amass to sing their hymns of ridicule
You are one who’ve nurtured the tragedy we face
Sitting on your rusty throne
To reign supreme your inexistent realm
With rotten roots, all trees have to wither
Sweet nectar of lies, the poison you gave
We are your deformed children
Paying the price for your negligence
For the well-buried truths
Cursed is our fate to never know if our sound will be heard
Time to reclaim what’s rightfully ours
Retrace your lineage and neutralize the source
We squirm in the waste you have laid
Bathed in the curse of our father’s mistakes
Age of desolation
Will we ever find a way to amend?
Generation sin
Our legacy tainted
We’ve lost all that we’ve ever loved
Lost to condemnation
Fingers pointed to next generation – to us

Future Without
05:36
|
|||
We danced in flames, igniting through the nights
We once were architects but these great pillars won’t last
For we always crave and feast on our ashen hearts
Carved hollow monuments of ego and worn-out sand
Born to kill in apathy
Are we sent from hell below?
Reflect on history
To stage our next mistake
A mass amnesia
We obey only our greed
Even as the sky fades
We smile in disarray
Breeding terror for all
Except those who reside behind the veil
Built this wall of futile standards
Just to forget and leave them behind
Were we ever meant to survive?
Born to kill in apathy
Are we sent from hell below?
Reflect on history
To stage our next mistake
A mass amnesia
We obey only our greed
Even as the sky fades
We smile in disarray
Our infected minds
Lost all sense of self-control
Such a downward glance
Salivating venomous rage
Drawn to decay
Testing our own fate
We’ll trade our own flesh
Just to have a taste
Soiled ocean, leaden sky
Our children lost in a concrete maze
Dug a well that always had been dry
There’ll be a future but without us
Drawn to decay
Testing our own fate
There’ll be a future but without us
We’ll trade our own flesh
Just to have a taste
There’ll be a future but without us
