In the age of man, searching for knowledge
Perceiving wisdom from observation
Thinking oneself to be wise is just absurd
Knowing nothing of self, knowing nothing of nature
To live is just an agreed state of being
To die breaks the spell that keeps you breathing
To see yourself and how small you really are
To fall under the lie that you are raised to think

Insidious Burden
04:58
|
|||
The longing stretches into forever
The need a hunger which eats me away
The dark brings no comfort
Smoldering misery saturates my senses
False ray of hope
Do not question the never
The morning does not come
Where do you think you are?

Not This Day

I will come for you in battle
I will come for you in stride
Breaking through defenses
Warriors flee in fright
I will come for you in darkness
I will come for you in the night
Silently creeping in
To choke you to death
Offer to Ares the screams of my enemies
I will fill the underworld with the men I kill
To conquer the foe, and make them pay
I will die, but not this day
I will not forget the loyal
I will not forget the snakes
Rewarding each as they deserve
Just as they should
I will not forget the faces
I will not forget the names
For some that I may have to find
And we may dance again
Offer to Ares the screams of my enemies
I will fill the underworld with the men I kill
To conquer the foe, and make them pay
I will die, but not this day

The Reflected Image
06:15
|

Enigmatic shift in perception
Bringing existential crisis
If my reality collapses
Is it just that I do not exist?
Fading in and out of the physical
Consciousness riddled with holes
When there is no one, and the curtain falls
I do not exist
When the day is gone, and the memories fade
I do not exist
When the suns light is gone, and darkness falls
I do not exist
When you remember a name, but know not the face
I do not exist
There is nothing there, on the other side
Outside of this plane I cease to be
In and out, light and blackness
Until I’m gone forever
Fading in and out of the physical
Consciousness riddled with holes
When there is no one, and the curtain falls
I do not exist
When the day is gone, and the memories fade
I do not exist
When the suns light is gone, and darkness falls
I do not exist
When you remember a name, but know not the face
I do not exist

Kneel Before God
05:25
|
|||
All hail the Emperor
Long live the State
Pledge your allegiance
To the red, white, and Jesus
Kneel before power
Kneel before God
Prove your faithfulness
Over and over again
Because you’re part of a bigger picture
In the grand scheme of the world
You exist to serve a small minority
From birth until death
You will take pride
In the given orders
Such a good citizen
Such a good Christian
March to the war drums
Proclaim your faith
On to oblivion
On to the future
Because you’re part of a bigger picture
In the grand scheme of the world
You exist to serve a small minority
From birth until death

Blood Called
05:22
|
|||
Spoken of in whispers
By angels in the dark
The dragging chains hollow echoes
The low, sinister ancient
It walks between the worlds
A window pane between betrays his coming
Wicked and evil
You call them with blood
Demon of revenge and torment
Come serve me tonight
In the dead of the frozen night
Through the howling snow
Come from places never seen by human eyes
From a race of beings older than the Earth
There are realms and entities we can never understand
Summoned by the foolish, summoned by the weak
Wicked and evil
You call them with blood
Demon of revenge and torment
Come serve me tonight

Between Life and Death
05:17

Time
Making up the rules which we play against
Silence
As the breath within slips away
Final
Submerging into the black forever
Keeping
Those who’ve crossed the threshold into after
Oh to behold her, in all her splendor
The entrancing grace of movement
Captivate my fascination
And she sends me such beauty
I will keep them always
Across the river, on the other side
Cold
The long winter night brings many home
Gone
Across the passage before the dawn
Lost
Weary and broken they shuffle over the threshold
Time
Run out for all she brings me, into silence

The Forest
05:21
|
|||
Away from the restless hum
Away from the smoke
Away into the wilderness
Away from the filth of people
Back to the crucible
To where the wild things still grow
Back into the forest
Deep into the woods
(2x)
Here you hear things in your blood
Here you find things in your mind
Here is where we came from
Here is where we long to return
Back to the crucible
To where the wild things still grow
Back into the forest
Deep into the woods
(2x)

With Contempt
04:00
|
|||
Godless and unashamed
You wish me for the fire
To burn eternally
In your underworld of pain
But I shall not suffer
In your lake of fire
I cannot be sent
To a place which does not exist
Sin is just a myth to perpetuate control
Beg the Lord’s forgiveness if ye fall out of line
And let the flock be fruitful
Let the faithful breed and grow
Keep the churches full
Keep the money coming
We with open eyes
See through your deception
Just because your brainwashed honest
Doesn’t excuse your actions
The time for your kind
In government is past
The time for your faith
Has all but since expired

Hatred for Mankind
04:16
|
|||
Cruelty is the norm here
On this rock of military monkeys
Fall in line and take your place
You weakling kindness is everyone’s disgrace
Wickedness inherent in the genes of humans
To insist otherwise is just wishful thinking
Parasitic predators, unrivaled in greed
Invented moral codes to help them sleep at night
There are no good humans
There is no benevolence here
Evil runs red through our veins
Raised and bred to steal and kill
And you would disagree that some are good
Which just show the propaganda works like it should
They tell you there’s a good heart inside
Which may have been true once, but it died
Arrogant delusion lets you just excuse yourself
The world owes you all you want, thoroughly convinced
The single worst plague in the history of our planet
Humans kill, eat, or fuck anything we find
There are no good humans
There is no benevolence here
Evil runs red through our veins
Raised and bred to steal and kill

The Blackest Woods
04:25
|
|||
Intrinsic unhinging occurs in the mind
Of domestic man forced into the wild at night
The rational overcome by the animal
Agoraphobia eating away at you slowly
Lost in the darkness
On unfamiliar ground
Trying to keep your peace of mind
In the blackest woods
Panic overtakes you and you begin to run
The menacing feeling in the darkness is getting closer
False step and fall to the forest ground
Look back in horror to see your pursuer
Lost in the darkness
On unfamiliar ground
Trying to keep your peace of mind
In the blackest woods
