1.	Scornful Disconnection 03:55	lyrics	buy track
In the scope of deep time Existence is merely dust in a hurricane Just because you briefly existed Does not make you anything at all To claim some greater calling Is just short sighted arrogance To feel yourself superior Is just begging for torment and death Your focus instead On building wealth on earth You won’t take it will you Into the empty dark Run and run and run To please the masters you serve To realize your place Precedes your mental suicide
2.	Sanguine Desire 03:49	lyrics	buy track
Interlocking energies Burning with interaction Heightened appetite Seeking out my flesh desire Unspoken promise Of wicked pleasure Forbidden practice Of pain and pleasure Oh won’t you be a gentle corpse Blood soaked bed Darkest dementia They never come again How delightful The dance before seduction Circling like vultures Just biding my time

4.	Frenzy 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Always there at the bottom The underbelly of society Bred from malnutrition and ignorance Filled with fear at the future Woe to he who would oppose them The unwashed masses filled with entitlement You think you can reclaim Something that never existed except as an abstract Whipped Into a frenzy Thinking your shouting will get what you want Fools We see where you’re standing And we know where you lie A human cesspool we allowed to breed Chemical waste mixed with inbred genetics Sickened bodies swell from overdose of toxins Enslaved by companies whose products they devour
5.	Buried in the Ground 05:38	lyrics	buy track
The weight of a thousand stars compares not Gravity of my soul could eat a million worlds Forever locked in a constant state of winter The frozen catacombs of my lingering existence Test me not, for I have nothing left to lose There are only tomorrows, staring on forever The gods bring me no comfort No solace from the wind And no amount of time or distance Will bring her back again I will walk this world a lifetime But nowhere am I found And there shall be no rest for me Til I’m buried in the ground In the witching hour, I lie awake Pulled from darkness by a cruel mind Torturing me slowly with things that will never be Weakening my sanity with each hollow moment
6.	Dead Harvest 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Still my mind is now forever But still beats my heart A hollow shell To be used for harvest My life is gone forever But still my blood pumps through my veins To be used as spare parts My final destiny But they don’t know my past Or the evil that I had become My legacy lives on in those I inhabit The darkness that lived within me still survives They carry out my will beyond the veil of death My will carried on in those who share my flesh Black magic was my instrument Dark energy ebbed and flowed through me The demons called deep into my bones The incantations spoken bound them to me forever

8.	Temple of Violence 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Point of conflict initiated Animal instinct to attack Rush of adrenaline numbing Ordering to fly or kill Oh come oh come To the temple of violence Rage and wrath, fear and anger You will be strong Or you will be made to suffer Spill the blood on the altar Reaction in an instant 10,000 years of civilization put aside Ignited in an instant And now I’ve come to kill
9.	The Ghost 04:55	lyrics	buy track
I’ve walked alone in this house Seen things that cannot be explained And in my thirty long years The ghosts have been my only companion And in this service A lone specter rises A woman’s figure in the dark Chills my bones to the core And demands my attention And what of this apparition Who is she, what does she want And I forget what people always do My fists clenched, my face taught I find the strength to speak To the monster in the dark Hoping to get an answer But her anger did I spark Glass shatters, things fly She is enraged, I don’t know why I try to shield myself from the objects flying I scream “I don’t know what you want” She screams at me “You’re lying” In my horror I’m speechless I can’t think what she means I claim I don’t know what you wants She screams The hallways echo now With the screams of the dead I try to run for the door Now they’re in my head This has never happened before Will I soon be dead I cannot leave this house I try to hide instead Nothing is forever In the quiet now, she speaks again “You killed me,” she says I remember now in vivid clarity How once she came and enticed In oppression by a dark obsession Now I know my wrong I grabbed a piece of broken glass and slash my throat Now we are together all eternity long
