1.	Hatred for the Exalted 05:15	lyrics	buy track
Keep the false promises of eternal life It doesn’t entice me in the least Don’t let your young ones hear my words Your mindless control might be broken Cling to your crumbling lies It’s only a matter of time Fairy tales threatening eternal death If we don’t behave the way that we’re told Rejecting advancement, you hate everything that’s new Nothing fits in your tiny box so you want to control the world You would bring about a second dark age to keep your faith pure Afraid of medicine and afraid of science and so afraid of your invented Satan Sacrifices made in vain on a gamble Repeating things again and again never makes them true You pretend to talk to your creator And therefore think yourself superior Such a bizarre superstition That God creates us for his own worship How weak an ego he must have To create a universe just to tell him how great he is Rejecting advancement, you hate everything that’s new Nothing fits in your tiny box so you want to control the world You would bring about a second dark age to keep your faith pure Afraid of medicine and afraid of science and so afraid of your invented Satan
2.	Illogical Temporal Disconnection 05:52	lyrics	buy track
Fallen within these four dimensions Trapped in an onward flowing river of time My soul bleeds and my mind rushes shallow Interpersonal separation reminded of before Born to be the eyes and ears within the structure Given not previous knowledge But all of the universe is sound And there is something deep which still remembers The ones you lose in life echo the loss So we invent ourselves meanings hung on cross All falsehood pretention cannot not describe in words Illogical temporal disconnection to keep one sane If you could know, would you Or would you scream in madness Such power and knowledge, vast beyond your comprehension And you’re still stumbling in the dark
3.	Warlord 03:44	lyrics	buy track
I built my kingdom on the edge of a sword My dominion built on fear I slay my rivals, there is no competition I spear their heads on spikes, my victory to display So keep your eyes to the ground You would not risk to offend me Know your place underfoot Crushed beneath my heel So listen not to the shamans For what lies in the future Listen to the words of your master For who lives and who dies My only successor is the one who can defeat me His skill must be greater than mine I slaughter those who challenge me I scatter their bones for they shall have no rest So listen for the war horns And know this to be true That if you don’t answer their call I’ll be coming tonight for you So listen not to the shamans For what lies in the future Listen to the words of your master For who lives and who dies
4.	King of the Blood 03:58	lyrics	buy track
A sin eater in life for he could find no work And so the eternal burden he took upon himself There’s only so much evil one man can take They say it rotted him long before the black He continued his work long after death In purgatory he consumed so much malice The watchers came for him his spirit to enslave They locked him in a tomb for four hundred years He was liberated by a Macedonian swine Come back to have his vengeance, backed by the legion of hell The king of the blood The never sleeping haunted The king of the blood His revenge is nigh
5.	The Nature of Torture 05:26	lyrics	buy track
The straps are bound to keep you tight in place The gleam of the clean steel before the cutting begins Blade slips into flesh accented by your screams Why would I kill you when I can keep you alive Another bleak day begins for me again The endless mediocrity week after week A soulless dawn, another meaningless night Was there something I pretended that I want Desperation is the sickest kind of hope Bound in life to a game you’re born to lose The only solace you never had To grow old and feeble and die The call of possession keeping competition strong Climb up the ladder on the corpses of your peers And when you reach that final summit of gain The stranglehold around your throat will begin to choke The voices won’t stop calling my name I’ve got nothing left for them to take My life before me stretches into eternity What I so wanted has put me here in hell Desperation is the sickest kind of hope Bound in life to a game you’re born to lose The only solace you never had To grow old and feeble and die
6.	Open Eyes, Godless Mind 05:02	lyrics	buy track
I am the soulless Armageddon you await I am the self-fulfilling prophecy of hate For all can see opposing sides continuously at odds In constant secret warfare at the mandate of your Gods Blackened hells and wicked demons are all you understand The impending threat of the ways of reason forcing your hand It’s too much to think that the heaven you long for does not exist So you do your best to eliminate opposition with an iron fist I am the bald faced truth you scream at that you don’t believe I am the burning books and wise men at the stakes History lies with the butcheries you have committed Omitting anything that goes against your vile agenda A serpent coiled around the world is your greed Sucking the life from everything in the name of Jesus The fat and bloated kings sit on fat and bloated thrones Proclaiming in jolly voices how wonderful is God
7.	Cold Silence 05:42	lyrics	buy track
The harsh light of open surroundings Wind abrasive blowing out of the north A soul cries out for answers in vain Answered with cold silence Told that he should seek God Told that he should keep his faith Told that only God has answers Told that he is unworthy And they shun him as an apostate in their eyes Set up for failure before he’d even begun Cast out for seeking truth, and only given lies He turns his face away in abject shame
8.	Blade of the Deceiver 04:08	lyrics	buy track
A dynasty so beautiful, so glorious to behold To gaze upon the lands you’d never see the blight The war raging far beyond the city walls The whispers in shadows of doubt and worry Hushed to silence in secrecy The threat deemed unworthy to challenge the throne Dark deception weaving plots So sinister their takings Razor blade strung tapestries Violent in their makings Blade slips in with poison Like a demon in the dark Gloved hand muffles choking breath And drags the corpse to cover The fast approaching forces of the enemies of the crown All controlled by an unknown faction, a dark hand unseen The king calls together his council, and as he approaches the chamber He is stabbed through the back by the closest of his guards Searing pain and stark confusion Mix within the King He reaches down in horror Pulls back blood on hands and rings To ambitious were his generals To spoiled were his hosts That he should be less valuable living than a ghost
9.	Cantu Mortua Profanum 04:53	lyrics	buy track
A spell writ in blood upon pages made of skin Dark primeval magic conjure forth the rotting dead From thousands of years ago, hidden secret away The book is alive with malice howling in pain for blood Once it is spoken, the dead begin to repeat As they rise from the ground, the words made by their mouths The dead rise hungry, spiteful and enraged Weapons do nothing, the corpses must be destroyed A foolish man with power, speaking words he does not understand A wicked chance of fate, such negligent arrogance A weapon of such power to be used by demonic host Unleashed by a fool into a time not prepared Long before recorded history there were others here Much more powerful beings than man But in the way of mortal beings, we longed to tame their secrets There were things recorded not meant ever to be written down There were only a few at first, then there were many And their legions just continue to grow Animated malicious flesh already decomposing Soon their numbers will be in the millions A foolish man with power, speaking words he does not understand A wicked chance of fate, such negligent arrogance A weapon of such great power to be used by demonic host Unleashed by a fool into a time not prepared
10.	Hollow 06:41	lyrics	buy track
Out in the blackness, in eternal darkness Space beyond imagining, a fathomless void The illusion of size to scale, of some significance Reality an illusion, wrought by a germ on a tiny rock How tiny a star, how so much smaller it’s planets The distance between them, is so impossibly vast Empires crumble and fall, in barely an eye blink And all the while falling, dancing around a ball of fire Indefinite sorrow knowing only what’s told to deceive Another bleak tomorrow staring out at the gray And though my life may be destroyed I will know vengeance Inflicted back upon a world I loath I can hear the clawing demons they tell me don’t exist Whispering from shadowed places in language I don’t know A cold and howling wind runs down Chilling bone as cold as steel The atrocities committed here Are gone but not forgotten
11.	Garden of Sodom 05:11	lyrics	buy track
The curvature of flesh delights the eye and makes a hold Heightened senses malleable, so hard to keep control Don’t play coy with me you silly bitch, you know exactly as you do You steer the brutes with between your legs, gives you a vicious grip Created or chanced with inborn frailty, slaves to our shells Each one with deficient weakness, each one with personal hells So many seek a higher meaning caused by witnessed base desires They cannot bear to think that they’re rubbed out just like weak little fires Death is a certainty for all of us Thrust upon us before many are ready Forced to fall and to end up in rot Puny life snuffed out, puppet strings cut And your delusions aren’t getting you anywhere All you’re accomplishing is pissing me off You’re a sack of fluids and bones with an expiration date Just a pig making noise about how you’re so important
12.	Unrepentant Glorious Deicide 03:15	lyrics	buy track
To kill a god is not as killing a man Gods die much more easily Whether reason or opposing faith They all fall down Wars will be waged and kingdoms shall fall In defense of pathetic belief Armies and legions of people will die To serve ones they cannot see It is not enough for them to merely believe On their God they stake their lives They will suffer through the torture and cries of their children To satisfy religious pride They fear the god killer They fear the end They fear the god killer They fear being wrong It is not enough for people as these To be able to change their minds They will follow and swallow any lie given As long as it’s said to be truth Follow the leader into the fire And get on your knees and pray But your God is silent and no one will help you And you shall fall today
13.	In Praise of the Dragon 06:18	lyrics	buy track
The wind howls through the trees down from the north The air unseasonably warm, marking certain doom Up from the mountains it comes full of wrath The villages cannot prepare, this day means their destruction He is the chaos bringer, he is pure death Armored hide impenetrable, impervious to damage And his breath the dragon fire told of in legend There is no defense against a foe such as this In praise of the dragon A lust so great come from its soul, its lust for gold Deep inside a great keep, brooding for generations The gods help the man great or small who would disturb him For they shall know the curse of awakening such a beast So damn the non-believer, you don’t have to believe When the dragon comes down the mountain to burn you alive And don’t think for a moment that you may defeat him Folly such as this will bring your demise much more quickly In praise of the dragon
14.	New American Genocide 03:55	lyrics	buy track
You sit upon your golden throne above us all Thinking only of yourself and your desires The masses starve, they’re told a lie that they can break free An intelligent tactic to make us work harder Your machine is now self-aware Looking back behind their necks at who holds the chain You’ve become a boil on the face of society And we’ve got some time to burn We outnumber you a million to one The sheep are turning back into wolves We’ll burn your palaces, the torches have been lit You can’t trust anyone, the servant’s knife your throat will slit Your final downfall was built upon your arrogance You cannot rule a kingdom and spit on its children Your Gods won’t save you, you’re going to fucking die You could’ve prevented this but now it’s too late New American genocide
