1.	Pray to the Void 05:18	lyrics	buy track
Screaming in the face of a hollow shell Burning out the grip of the narrow worm Faceless mask cracking from the outside They just want to beat you back to sleep Speak against the dead word Think against the wooden frame False ideal of existence Freedom to break these chains forever And the temples crumble and fall And the followers pray for the end Pray to the void Pray to the darkness, pray for your soul No matter how hard you try The emptiness won’t answer Plead to the void Plead to the darkness, plead for control No matter how loud you scream The emptiness won’t answer Cancer of the mind eating slowly Insidious parasite gnawing away Infected actions carried out Go willingly by the leash Rush to the coming of the storm Long for the end they’ve been promising Your need to be free of the church Makes you beg for the end of the world
2.	Uncertainty Principle 04:23	lyrics	buy track
Look at you, so pompous Sitting fat and proud You think because you’ve risen high Nothing can touch you That somehow your money Cheats biology That somehow your status Can avoid entropy You aren’t promised anything Not guaranteed shit The only thing known for sure Is someday you’ll die You aren’t promised anything Nothing is assured The only thing certain here Is uncertainty I don’t know if you were told Or just assumed it yourself Your feeling of empowerment Is inconsequential You cannot stop the hand of fate You will not stall the end You will die as we all die Choking for air
3.	Cataclysmic Change 05:02	lyrics	buy track
The future overtaking the present Violently disrupting any order established Chaos and disorder, entropy in rampage Where do you stand when everything falls around you Pulled up by the roots As the storm winds blow The landscape is changing Unhinging my sanity As the waves crash My mind dies The ground splits beneath your feet Tongues of fire, lick through the surface Everything has come undone Lightning flashes across the black sky
4.	The Wretched Now 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Surrounded by echoes, in blackness The fawning dead, blindly stumbling Wretched the minds, decaying so strongly Despair mutates to malice, to torment once again Locked inside this prison Buried deep in hell Linear destruction, just a frame for torture You cannot escape this The void offers no release You will live and die in torment, the wretched now And any joy or comfort, is only temporary The only enduring constant is suffering The reinforced delusion to keep going as long as you can That death can only come when you do not suspect
5.	Swine 05:00	lyrics	buy track
I was born into the world in the arms of a mad man Indoctrinated with thin lies, led astray Kept in the ways of the holy two planks Under the threat of the son Warped perspective, vile agenda Taught to fear and judge Given the power of a god to mortal man Narrow thoughts, narrow mind Too far gone to see your own failure Twisted perspective warped by wealth At the seat of power, at the head of greed There is no gain from hording so much wealth But the machine moves ever forward, tank treads over graves Under changing sky, hybrid mutant slaves
6.	Fractured from Knowledge 06:08	lyrics	buy track
The product of dark will bent These forces breathe tonight Arcane magic bends dimensions of space and time Liquid the walls between worlds Unnatural meeting of realms Contact between universes strictly forbidden You’ve seen things there aren’t words for That no one will ever believe Try to move through each day, knowing what can’t be known Corrosive knowledge eating into your brain It’s hard to look into the eyes of those you meet Because you stared into the eyes of abomination And in the night, your dreams are filled with madness Images and beings you cannot comprehend Demented thoughts race unhinged Things you can’t unsee have undone you forever
7.	The Restless Dead 05:26	lyrics	buy track
Unholy flesh decaying reanimated Lightning flash against dark sky Beneath the tombs and sarcophagus Glowing eyes and dripping mouths The rushing hordes through the cities Mankind become its own plague And all the preparation does no one any good Their dead return to murder and feast Hell on earth running wild across the world The feral dead the dominant predator And after generations, the dead sleep again The horror forgotten with the passage of time In several millennia, the cycle repeats again The dead will rise, horror anew
8.	Echoes of the Eldritch Cosmic 06:38	lyrics	buy track
Ageless the memory but equally distorted Cosmic wills influencing perception Emphasized to me daily my punishment divine The howling darkness just outside a constant reminder Gods grow and die in the heat of my dementia Walls of reality mean nothing, travelers come and go Sickness infects every aspect of my being My body rebels from the depths of my depravity Lost in the center of the universe Blind I fall Found in the depths of oblivion I behold in horror Sallow light cast yellow through the window Creeping day turned into twilight Wicked unseen evils shifting in the shadows Do not stare too long into the dark And out in the blackness of space The old gods sing their melodies And I can hear them echoing across the void Under the ocean, the old ones sleep in wait Dreaming the madness that grips my mind forever
