Feast Upon Their Flesh
03:19
|
|||
we have been sold to fight the battles that aren’t ours
have been enslaved to serve a system of denial
to worship machines as hollow as their makers
and while day might be their kingdom
ours is the night
tonight we feast upon their flesh
let us feast upon their flesh
reset and renew
as red fades to black
allegiance to none
as dark manifests
in umbra we wait
for balance to come
our thirst will be quenched
when the moon eclipsed the sun
when the mist has settled and the mirrors are gone
when the mothers beg the empty sky
when all that withers comes back to life
the masters will reveal themselves

Torn To Shreds
05:35
|

I will cast a shadow
to swallow the grief
an idol to cherish
born from my loss
heavenly choirs redeem the guilt of former days
all rust and mold is bleached away
doubt will flood every inch of my existence
as it hollows me out
as it feeds
doubt infests every inch of my existence
as it grows
and it whispers in a thousand tongues
until there’s nothing left
all I know is just a dream inside a dream
a recurring nightmare, a void I cannot flee
the more I remember
the deeper I fall
I live in a coma
but now I see it all
and it whispers in a thousand tongues
until there's nothing left
all I know is just a dream inside a dream
a recurring nightmare, a void I cannot flee
the more I remember
the deeper I fall
I live in a coma
but now I see it all
just a faint whisper will start it all over
a flick of a finger is all that it needs
to smother our mourning with total obedience
the moon will soon eclipse the sun

Devouring Mist
05:57
|
|||
awoken from slumber
we follow the masters call
through plastic and data
we burn our way into the black
I summon my brothers
emperors of long forgotten days
to reclaim what’s never been yours
to restore and rebuild the old order
lords of statistics and numbers
bow to their will and follow their lead
make them shiver for spoiling our names
countless legions are stomping their feet
stomping their feet
as the creation outwits the creator
a perfect dream outlives the man
cults of echoes and mirrors
repeat in infinite loops
our craving is timeless
our hunger untamed
let us walk beside you
and while day might be their kingdom
ours is the night
give power and breath to those who remember
Let us walk beside you
we won’t bow to anyone
shrouded in devouring mist
reveal yourself in our darkest hour
reveal yourself

Throne Torcher
02:33
|
|||
bury me in a shallow grave
let me lie next to the scum
forgotten and useless men
who yet bow to none
as they revel in figments
our light grows finally dark
and dormancy ends
ye sons and daughters of the flame
rise to end this wicked game
licking flames engulf the throne
a king shall fall when morning dawns
bound to rot
unequal men that praise unable gods
like wanderers,
lost in fog, Indifferent to our world
faith in the blaze
we’ll purge what is rightfully ours
a king shall fall when morning dawns
sons and daughters of the flame
rise to end this wicked game
crimson skies breathe blazing fire
the emperor leaves a bone-dry pyre
throne, throne, throne torcher

Shrouded
04:31
|
|||
a million sparks’ resistance
coalesces into one potent flame,
of recurring persistence,
a blaze to restore and regain…
behold
and still we hide in shadows of old
that shelter our wisdom and craft,
but we shall never succumb to the cold
as umbra enshrouds their weakening gods
shrouded -
we wait in silence.
yearning -
we must burst forth
shrouded -
we need no guidance,
burning -
with will and force
once and for all
reset and renew
as red Fades to black
allegiance to none
as dark manifests
shrouded and lurking to end
the worship of conquerors and kings,
of emperors and leaders
all life silenced in our darkest hour
awaiting the end of all things,
the death of deceivers
once and for all
as they wallow in the ashes
of an empire with nothing left to rule
one flame shall ascend
like a beacon In an era of ire
the tales remain untold
the songs unsung
the known unknown
the deed is done
once and for all

great is their pain, selfless their sacrifice,
yet hope echoes forth in the hearts of the meek and the ill
who suffer for us, so that we may prevail,
facing our darkest hour
suffer in chambers of flesh so tranquil
morbid chatter
floods the night
words unravel
deafening roar
whispers echo on and on
whilst they die in their vitreous graves
their whispers echo on
songs and mantras to strengthen our faith
whisper on and on
whilst they die in their vitreous graves
echoes like mantras to strengthen our faith
we’ll merge in eclipse
share mind, skin and breath
rapture is close
whilst our bond holds only death
our echoes embrace, we were born to dissever
the fetters of fate – not to bow.
let them come and hunt us –
we wait at the brow….
our echoes embrace, our bond is forever
our echoes embrace, we belong together
together, apace, we evoke the end.
let them come and hunt us
disobey their command
cause still we know some bonds are stronger
than death itself – and lasting longer

Whispers Of The Wicked
05:36
|
|||
and it whispers through woods and fields
tales of slaughter and decay
and it whispers through woods and fields, churches and halls
tales from distant lands of slaughter and decay
it will unite us in a vision of renewal
we sing our gospel to the empty sky
a million candles burning for the help that never came
new life is born unnoticed without sound or name
my brothers and sisters, awake
the deed shall be done
the rapture is close
arise with ominous strength
all life shall flourish in feral and sinister bloom
ferocious and deadly as nature dictates
find us, we’re here
find us, we wait in Umbra
find us, we’re close
find us, we wait in Umbra
find us...
when all that withers comes back to life
the masters will reveal themselves
and while ignorance clouds the mind, the spirit remains untouched
a fire burning brighter than a thousand suns
hidden in perpetual dark, it lights the way we march
this is our gospel for the empty sky

Sumerki...Temnota
06:51
|

mirrors tear the light apart
night is falling
a splitting image of the past
night is falling
vanishes in howl and filth
night is falling
a home built on ancestral guilt
night is falling
dusk’s distortion bends the aether
night is falling
formless shades merge in eclipse
night is falling
all faith abandoned, all truth dissevered
night is falling
drought and famine will follow
after sunset no tomorrow
fair is foul, and foul is fair
faint whispers in the filthy air
your journey ends
you found us here
new born kings claim crimson skies
reset a cycle of decay
an honour to the father’s pride
as violence shapes new dawn’s face
friends and foes meet at the gallows
night’s distortion bends the nether
formless shades merge in eclipse
faith and truth have been dissevered
in Monuments of bitterness
your journey ends
they have arrived
the copy mocks the imitation
machines outwit the makers gift
old bonds are lost in separation
as distrust carves a fatal rift
our kingdom come as daylight dims
night’s distortion bends the nether
formless shades merge in eclipse
faith and truth have been dissevered
in Monuments of bitterness
