1.	Godless Heathen Triumphant 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Scourged with the black plague of the teachings of Christ A weak following mind will stay among the flock The diseased doctrine of feeble control Enslaving any who will take the yoke I laugh in open scorn at your pathetic contradictions I will burn every trace of it away Proclaiming blasphemy, I piss on the cross Godless heathen triumphant I stand Scream from the mountains your gods are all lies The ears of the followers burned by reason Your myths have no presence here Fill your lives with good deeds, to take away your guilt Baptize away your atrocities, a little water takes it all away I laugh in open scorn at your pathetic contradictions I will burn every trace of it away Proclaiming blasphemy, I piss on the prophets Godless heathen triumphant I stand Scream from the mountains your gods are all lies The ears of the followers burned by reason Your myths have no presence here
2.	Chemistry and Violence 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Flesh desired and flesh punished Fires burn for inflicted pain I am your damnation Each moment a test Carnal appetites can’t be satisfied Merely curbed again and again And you my favorite sin My most wicked desires visited Base lusts explored No unopened door You are mine tonight Ecstasy and pain Pumping through our veins Soulless delight The sounds of moaning and screaming Punctuate the pounding Twisted duality of agony and bliss And you can’t seem to get enough The soft curvature of your exquisite body The geometry of torment upon your skin The smooth rhythm of your breathing The catharsis after the hurricane Base lusts explored No unopened door You are mine tonight Ecstasy and pain Pumping through our veins Soulless delight
3.	The Awakening 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Deep under the ice, the old ones sleep Under the ground of Antarctica, lying dormant It’s been our fortune that they’ve been locked away so long And we’ve forgotten what the world was like with them around The ancient titans, powerful beyond reckoning The juggernauts of long ago wars, whose evidence remains Powerful beings, as old as the oceans Trapped under glaciers, imprisoned for thousands of years And man in his idiocy, melts their prisons And as the ice caps melt, it brings them closer And when their tombs are broken, they shall be released A plague upon the world bringing disease and fire An army of elder gods, with malice in their minds They will bring their attention to us, and mankind will suffer A new kind of war that we cannot hope to win Our weapons useless, the opposition just too strong A new age of darkness, brought forth from the frozen south Humans and animals die by the millions, burned to death And fools pray to absent gods in the face of oblivion And no one answers, the heavens remain silent
4.	Here in the Dust 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Decaying stench permeates the air Filth become animate, clawing and biting Festering remains drawn back to kill Vileness returned, appetite unending And the dark is so cold In the seeming endless night Predators of opportunity Lurking in the shadows Seven years since the world fell And the madness will never end Hollow days and terrible nights Here in the dust And you can hear the howls of pain Off in the distance As some luckless soul breathes their last Life taken in brutal dismemberment And the dark is so cold In the seeming endless night Predators of opportunity Lurking in the shadows Seven years since the world fell And the madness will never end Hollow days and terrible nights Here in the dust
5.	Hymn of Fire 05:29	lyrics	buy track
Oh master of the powers of the air Who comes as a lion Great serpent of the garden Hear my call, oh Satan Burn from my sight the false Strike from the Earth the pompous Hordes of the weak and shallow Begging for the sword And when the fires rain And the kingdoms burn The rivers red with blood Funeral pyres ablaze The sun black in the sky Blotted out by smoke And the killing continues Until there’s nothing left Archangel of darkness Here there is no hope The undeserving sit high upon their thrones Fat pigs to bring to the slaughter Burn from my sight the false Strike from the Earth the pompous Hordes of the weak and shallow Begging for the sword And when the fires rain And the kingdoms burn The rivers red with blood Funeral pyres ablaze The sun black in the sky Blotted out by smoke And the killing continues Until there’s nothing left
6.	Master of our own Fate 04:21	lyrics	buy track
And the light awakens After 2,000 years of darkness Burning away the false Leaving only truth Enraging the followers Of the fictitious And they come with sword in hand To kill all who disagree I am the scorned one I am the apostate I am the blasphemous I am the free I am the scorned one I am the apostate I am the blasphemous I am the free Your time is done here Your hour at its close The grip you have no longer holds With a shout of triumph Against the age old oppressor No longer will you control our fate Your time is done here Your hour at its close The grip you have no longer holds With a shout of triumph Against the age old oppressor No longer will you control our fate And you won’t quietly Not without a fight To keep your backward ways With all your might But there is no weakness here Against your foolish wars We will burn your legacy And you along with it I am the scorned one I am the apostate I am the blasphemous I am the free I am the scorned one I am the apostate I am the blasphemous I am the free Your time is done here Your hour at its close The grip you have no longer holds With a shout of triumph Against the age old oppressor No longer will you control our fate Your time is done here Your hour at its close The grip you have no longer holds With a shout of triumph Against the age old oppressor No longer will you control our fate No one ever believed you were peaceful Handing out judgement and punishment divine And you choked so hard, they slipped away Never lured back with empty promises

8.	No Rest for the Weary 06:19	lyrics	buy track
In the night comes creeping images Distortions warped and crawling Deep unknown fears manifesting Clawing at my tattered sanity And they’re waiting every night, no possibility of escape Scratching at my senses, how long will I last And she comes with beauty And a knife wrought from cold Here to torture me Over and over again There is no rest for me night after night My dreams connected, like spiders web A never ending catacomb of blackness And they just keep gnawing and gnawing Now I lay my head to die every night The morning comes cold and without life Riddled with pain and madness, it will not end My torment is mine now and forever Battle scarred landscapes Of fire and destruction Hollow houses Which never were The people who do not exist in dislocated time But all of them fail to compare She is the author and finisher of my torment I will never be free from her again
9.	To Spit in the Face of God 03:42	lyrics	buy track
My time grows short And in the night I slipped away Toll the funeral bell I’m no longer of this world Down a tunnel made of fire Past the souls of the damned Screaming and wailing echo Where the worm never dies I have lived my life for me And for it I have been sent to hell But it was completely worth it To spit in the face of God Complete utter darkness And never ending flames The tormentors never sleep And my suffering will never end Millions of years pass Feeling so much longer I don’t remember my life All I know is torture I have lived my life for me And for it I have been sent to hell But it was completely worth it To spit in the face of God
10.	Slaves to a Lie 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Follow the rules, do as your told Stay in line or you will not succeed Keep the status quo, and if you do You will be rewarded, you will be rich Ignore the tightening noose, ignore the screaming outside Just shut up and take it for the sake of the American dream March to the beat of the drum they play It’s dangerous to think for yourself After all there’s nothing you can do Except to be a slave to the lie Buy the things their holy men tell you To appease the Gods they speak for Pushing on towards heaven Through the slaughterhouse gates Ignore the tightening noose, ignore the screaming outside Just shut up and take it for the sake of the American dream March to the beat of the drum they play It’s dangerous to think for yourself After all there’s nothing you can do Except to be a slave to the lie
11.	Demon of the Fall (Opeth cover) 06:14	lyrics	buy track
Silent dance with death. Everything is lost. Torn by the arrival of Autumn. The blink of an eye, you know it's me You keep the dagger close at hand. And you saw nothing. False love turned to pure hate. The wind cried a lamentation before merging with the grey. Demon of the fall. Gasping for another breath. She rose, screaming at closed doors. Seductive faint mist forging through the cracks in the wall. I shant resist. In tears for all of eternity. She turned around and faced me for the first time. Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her CREDENCE.
