From the Nothing
05:21
|

I watch from the void
I watch from beyond
The essence of emptiness
From the depths
Of the abyss
I emerge
From the nothing
This blackened silent mist
Suffocates in delusions
Disgusted from timeless madness
Break free, let there be light
I watch the foul spirits
Ignite their rage to blinding lights
Spreading their roots for the coming times
A legacy, an endless sea of pearls
I watch the birth of death
Animated before me
I breathe life into empty shells
Only to crumble in ignorance
I watch these lives in vain
Trembling beneath me
To succumb to black pain
I watch the abandoned heavens
Cowering before me
To succumb to black death
This blackened silent night
Slaughtering the universe
Disgusted from trivial life
Break free, let there be death
Strengthened by a thousand suns
Blades in hand, I roam the earth
Yearning for the flesh of demons
Drunk with blood
I watch from the void
I watch from beyond
The essence of emptiness
I am born from flesh and bones
I emerge
From the nothing

Siren of Truth
05:19
|
|||
Told are tales over centuries
Of a creature divine and pure
Soothing in its voice of truth
Tempting is its skill to lure
Existing in the depths created
By its rusty claws
A creature so divine and pure
Disfigured by the times of man
Thirst for blood
Trails of flesh
Sacred quest
Final escape
Thirst for blood
Trails of flesh
Siren, rejoice
Another death
Wings of wisdom
Feats of strength
All of which have been consumed
By the never ending hunger
Two opposing faces ripping
Flesh off a living corpse
Deafened by its utmost pride
It won’t hear your cries
Blinded by its gluttony
It can see no light
Thirst for blood
Trails of flesh
Sacred quest
Final escape
Thirst for blood
Trails of flesh
Siren, rejoice
Another death
Siren of truth
Doomed to roam
In your grave
Forever lost
To time and space
Doomed to rot
Reviving youth
Feed on your lies
Siren of truth

Cult De Aur
05:25
|

Regret? Guilt? Emotions? All qualities of an ancient dying man, whose heart I now hold in my hands, ripped from
beneath my ribs. Seek power and live forever, that is my mission. That is my religion.
We lay in the valley of the skulls
Caged, abandoned, forgotten
Where the peasants are one with the mud
We’re only free in the bellies of the vultures
Seduced the weak
Speared the ears
The demon’s howl
Strong and fierce
Through fear they die
From greed they rise
Banish the light
Obey or perish
We pray the Peoples of the Sea
Return to end the madness
We’re surrounded by the faceless and the undead
Nosferatu, cult de aur
Seduced the weak
Speared the ears
The demon’s howl
Strong and fierce
Through fear they die
From greed they rise
Banish the light
Obey or perish
Cold as the owl’s gaze
Tis the night of the shadows’ chants
Among the weave of floating tears
Savage eyes await
Annuit cœptis
Is there no one to bring the light?
Are we forever cursed to dwell in this nightmare?
Tortured, withered, forever lost
Seek the almighty “In God we trust”
Novus ordo seclorum
Ravenous
Relentless
Conform to us
Give in to lust
Through fear we die
From greed we rise
We banished the light
Obey or perish

Lord of Venom
07:31
|
|||
Shadows caressed the barren fields
That once carried the fruits of life
Now desecrated by swords and shields
Rich with the stench of death
A haunting silence
Shivers a lone warrior’s heart
Tormented by the cries of a thousand pillages
Cursed to die with shame and disgrace
Atop the highest mountains
Through the deepest caves
By slavery and surrender
Shall thee be saved
Your will restrained by the worms in your guts
Your waking time remains a mystery
Your feeble senses mark your nearing defeat
Doomed to relive your ancestors’ deceit
Seek the cure to your mortality
The Lord of the Serpents holds the key
To live the life of a god, woes forever gone
To spare the hells and fires from your unborn sons
Atop the highest mountains
Through the deepest caves
By slavery and surrender
Shall thee be saved
Step forth child
Fear not the shadows
For they shield us from the unwanted
Fear not these beastly scales
Nor these deathly fangs
For they mercifully watched since your embark
Traverse the land of foes
Burn their flags
Destroy the enemies
Of the Lord of Venom
Betray your olden kin
For they don’t believe
This life of servitude
Will end your spewing blood
Time is what you seek
A lifetime of glory
Heed my words and thou shalt live strong
Rid yourself of disease
Embrace the demons within
Rise young disciple, your time has come
The murders? A sacrifice
The burning? For glory
Consume the minds of the weak? All in my name
The beheading? For order
The lies? The servants
A price paid for immortality

My Pyre Awaits
06:32
|
|||
The night is dying
Subdued and bare
Hung in dark azure
The lifeless moon mocks me
A rain of shadows
Drowns the dungeon stones
Is this a call of redemption?
Or to death am I betrothed?
Willingly they say
Bravery they claim
To lift the city walls
From the brink of despair
Through rusted steel
I bid thee farewell
For as the light falls
Come the immolation
My pyre awaits
The ritual murder
The aroma of burnt flesh
Will fill the lungs of a kingdom's corpse
Willingly they say
Bravery they claim
To lift the city walls
From the brink of despair
A forged pride, hollow and frail
Clouded by the acrid scent of betrayal
Oh the tapestry of lies
Of failure, of cries
Gone are the days of honor
Gone are the days of glory
I watched a kingdom, long since prized,
Descend into the valleys of demise
The truth dies with me
And so shall my burden
One of false hopes, of broken dreams
Of deception and charade
My pyre awaits
With a firey grin
Taunting us all
With the impaled head of mankind

Tartarus
05:52
|

Far beneath Hades as Heaven is above the earth
Imprisoner of the bringer of flames
Cries of the sinners both Titan and Man
Devourer of kin locked away for his mortal sin
Screams of shades, torture and pain
Will broken and hopes are in vain
Cursing the lightning that shudders above, in heaven
Where none but gods roam
Once mighty and bold, disgraced and discarded
After battles lost they’re hung drawn and quartered
The vow remains, true to destroy
The host of heaven to be crushed by the eleven
Screams of shades, torture and pain
Will broken and hopes are in vain
Cursing the lightning that shudders above, in heaven
Where none but gods roam
Soak the heavens, the gods shall be crushed
Revenge, taste of what the Titans lust
Heads rolling, the skies rain red
Water the land with their blood
Kill
Soak the heavens
With their blood
Olympus falls, the gods are broken
Heracles, their savior, their chosen
Lies defeated, shattered and crushed
His flesh and bones gnawed to dust
Screams of shades, torture and pain
Will broken and hopes are in vain
Cursing the lightning that shudders above, in heaven
Where none but gods roam
Soak the heavens, the gods shall be crushed
Revenge, taste of what the Titans lust
Heads rolling, the skies rain red
Water the land with their blood
Kill
Soak the heavens
With their blood

Scorch the Night
04:10
|
|||
Scorch the night and
Burn the skies
Bring forth eternal light
Perdition rains
From the skies above
To deliver them from life
Erect the mighty
Carrion Mountain
Adorned with the newly birthed
We, the angels,
Guardians of truth
Shall wage war on this earth
Let there be war
Once and for all
Slaughter them all
Conscience erased
Innocence raped
Pray for a beautiful death
Defend the honor
You never had
Fight till your last breath
The warrior’s might
Standing tall and true
Becoming one with God
Infect the spirits
Of once proud canyons
Weeping rivers of blood
Descend the blazing skies
Behold the blades of our scythe
Conquer the lands
Slay every man
Leave none to be found
Burial temples
Sacred or not
Burn it to the ground
Prepare all arms
For the next onslaught
Crush them beneath the sand
We, the angels,
Guardians of lies
Shall wipe them from this land
Let there be war
Once and for all
Slaughter them all
Their time shall fall

Impaled Heads
05:00
|
|||
Unearthed from blissful ignorance
Surrounded by ashes of the unknown
Haunted by black suns and clouds of fire
I walk into no man's land.
Doomed to roam the deserts
Where the oceans still echo
Now but a mere memory
Forever lost and forgotten.
What has become of our quest?
Nothing but desolate lands
Scattered through floating tears
The remains of an empire
We lust to live as the gods
Instead we turned to extinction
Now I gaze unto rivers of rot
Mountains of corpses, fenced by impaled heads
Stories were told of the great rebellion
Where man stood up to the tyranny of gods
An age of war between angels and demons
Where we succumbed to the Black Death

Of Chains and Crowns
09:49
|
|||
I stand on broken bones
Amid the corpses of silenced elders
Frozen, paralyzed
Staring at death's eyes
She stood before me
A silhouette of desire and seduction
Her decayed hands brushed my arms
Behind her smile, hordes of imprisoned souls
Have I lost my sanity?
For my sins I repent
Enshrouded by illusions
Drowned in delusions
We preyed on the needs of the weak
Wreaking havoc and destruction in her sleep
Tranced, hypnotized, horrified
I watch from the void, from beyond the grave, I watch the end of time
I am the serpent's poison, spreading through the veins of light
Destined for utter failure, for destruction and pain
Rise from the ancient ruins, feel the burn of the afterlife
Resurrected, cleansed in chaos, come forth the day we dread
Wasted away by our sorrows, blinded by our greed and lust
Shattering the mountains, melting the skies back to nothing
A freezing breath, a bloodied tongue
Fulfilled her boundless crave
Held in her arms the ethereal child
And whispered ever so gently
We are born to feed on the crowns of our ancestors
