1. Rites of Desecration
The Prophecy prevails as Horror strikes. Beyond the Halls of Madness lies the Cast of Doom
Deep within the Shrines of Heavens subsists a Rotten and Foul Decay
The Prophecies create infinite Madness, a Flare in the Realms of the Obscure
The Streams of the Dead are run
ning Black, crossing the Rites of Desecration
Grotesque Blessings for a Mechanical Breed, Sacred Rites for the Doomsday of the Gods
The Collapse of our Civilization is now at Hand, stirred out of an Ancient Detestation
The Prophets lead the Forces of the Gods, a Suffering Pest of Eternal Domination
As our Gates fall to the Enemy, we hear the Morbid Prayers of the Bizarre
Verocious Fear in the Hearts of the Innocent fuels this senseless Onslaught of Terror
Inveterate Screams of Anguish and Pain, Chaos will forever roam the World
A Terror unbeknown beyond Tombs of Horror
The Abyss of Blackness will devour us in Whole, a Revelation of Diabolic Banishment
A vortex of profound Evil
These are the Rites of Desecration, this is the War of Civilizations
2. Acherontic Epitaph
Let all the Souls here rest in Peace for We shall not repeat the Evil
A Blast of White Light is drowning out the Sun, a Blue Glow of Death it paints Shades of Gloom
Scarlet Column rises, like a Candle Fire high, immense Clouds of Flame, they crackle as they burn
This is the day of reckoning!
Hellish Blaze, it's a Nuclear Rage. Pillars of Fire, they are rising beyond the Stars
Nuclear Blast penetrates the marrow of My Bones, a Sea of Flames, a miserable living Hell
Here I stand, forsaken by mankind!
This is the Day of Shadows, Atomic Devastation, the Dawn of a New Age, the Autumn of Mankind
Cruel Burns from ultraviolet Light, downward Thrust is carving in Creation
Mass Distortion deforms my Human Shell, Pressure Pulse exerted by the Blast
Nothing but Darkness remains where Light has never been, the incinerated Soil contains my Remains
Nuclear Rain washing away the ashes of Humanity, Nuclear Rain running black, as dark as our Fate
The Radiation Doses, strong enough to kill a God, Victim's Shadows burned into Stone
Hellish Blaze, it's a Nuclear Rage. Pillars of Fire, they are rising beyond the Stars
Nuclear Blast penetrates the marrow of My Bones, a Sea of Flames, a miserable living Hell
Here I stand, forsaken by mankind!
This is the Day of Shadows, Atomic Devastation, the Dawn of a New Age, the Autumn of Mankind
Cruel Burns from ultraviolet Light, downward Thrust is carving in Creation
Mass Distortion deforms my Human Shell, Pressure Pulse exerted by the Blast
This is the Day of Shadows, Atomic Devastation, the Dawn of a New Age, the Autumn of Mankind
3. The Monument
Forged in Fire, in the Pits of Hell
Death Desire, deep Down We dwell
Passing the Cauldron We stand aback
As the Godz do their Bidding
Carved out of Moonstone, a devoted Existence.
Of Fire is our Path, a Gate to the Dark Side of Creation.
This once unified Us all, these were the Rites of the Black Mass
They build Us this Monument, everlasting, an ancient Heritage of Dark Creation
Being born of Hatred and Disgust, an ancient Lore of Death
You had to desecrate It all, had to lead a Soulless Life
Had to Destroy not Create, but our Cult will persevere
Of Fire is our Path, a Gate to the Dark Side of Creation
This once unified Us all, these were the Rites of the Black Mass
They build Us this Monument, everlasting, an ancient Heritage of Dark Creation
Being born of Hatred and Disgust, an ancient Lore of Death
You had to desecrate It all, had to lead a Soulless Life
Had to Destroy not Create, but our Cult will persevere
Forged in Fire, in the Pits of Hell.
Death Desire, deep Down We dwell.
Passing the Cauldron We stand aback
As the Godz do their bidding
Carved out of Moonstone,
A devoted Existence to the Monument!
4. Embers of a Dying World
I witnessed Man annihilate his Womb, his World
Place of Eternal War left a desolate Tomb
Epic Wars, War Machines consumed this Realm.
Strategy of scorched Earth, Nothing left to gain in Victory
The Black in your Heart, an ultimate Lust for Power.
And the Planet exhales as Your Weapons spit forth
You drenched the Soil in the Blood of Mankind.
You ran Your Sword through the Heart of Mother Earth
Embers!
The Embers of a dying World casting Light on your Destiny,
Condemned to live under the Shadow of Death
The Embers of a Dying World casting Light on your Destiny
A glimpse of what is to be Eternity
As your Troops gather for the final Battle the Sun sets for a very Last Time
Unleashing Forces unknown to Man You give the Signal for a Final Attack
Explosions slowing down the Pace of Time, Hours becoming Days, Days becoming None
As Nuclear Force breaks down Creation, You feel the warm Triumph of Final Victory
The Blasts lay to Waste the Forces of the Enemy
Evaporating all, making Room for the Past
Caught in what seems to be a Vortex in Time
You watch your Forces travel to the other Side
I witnessed Man annihilate his Womb, his World
Place of Eternal War left a desolate Tomb
Epic Wars, War Machines consumed this Realm.
Strategy of scorched Earth, Nothing left to gain in Victory
Embers!
The Embers of a dying World casting Light on your Destiny,
Condemned to live under the Shadow of Death
The Embers of a Dying World casting Light on your Destiny
A glimpse of what is to be Eternity
A Triumph for Eternity
5. The Chalice of Ages
A Legion of ancient Warriors and Masters of War was left behind by the Elder to defend the Elixir of Life
For an Eternity this Legion has waited, waited to rise again, rise and defend what is Theirs
To defeat the ways of the new, the Weak and Feeble, I summon You, Warriors of old, rise, rise once again
I summon Thee, Immortal Warriors, Rise with me, rise back to Power
Rise, Warriors of Old, Rise, Defend the Chalice of Ages
Rise, Immortal Warriors, Rise, and Protect what is Ours
Rise, Warriors of Old, Rise, and Unite for the Last Stand
Rise, Immortal Warriors, Rise, only the True will Survive
Forgotten Warriors, lost in Time, Sheltered from the Feeble, from Corruption of the Soul
Rise!
Rise My Warriors, defend the Source, drink the Potion, this shall be your Fate
Upon reaching the Shores of a new World, was found the clandestine Flow of Eternal Life
Rise!
While Their Numbers are small Their Will is strong, Surviving Deterioration, the Trends of Time
Weapons drawn They protect... Weapons drawn They protect the Chalice of Ages
6. Infinity Blights the Flesh
My unbound Soul traverses, I cannot Die as I fall, Through the oceans of a New Born Sun
I cannot feel as I touch Eternity
Blinded by Hyper Spectral Light never seen by the Eye of Man, Bereavement of the soul, Eon Exploration
Passing Radio Broadcasts from a Long Forgotten Past, As I travel to the Outer Edge of Creation
I behold Myself abandon Earth Centuries ago, I am grasping the Future, Traveling the Beyond
Computers stabilizing, Desiccate my Flesh, Body ceases while the Mind perseveres
Machines malfunction as Systems take Control.
While in Deep Slumber I journey to Distant Worlds
The searing Sleep Stasis becoming my Undying Grave
My Mind detaches while I become One with Technology
I cannot Die as I fall through the Oceans of a New Born Sun.
I cannot feel as I touch Eternity. Total Desolation, exploring Infinity
Infinity blights the Flesh
My unbound Soul traverses, I cannot Die as I fall, Through the oceans of a New Born Sun
I cannot feel as I touch Eternity
Elevated Being, Destination unknown Exploring the Cosmos, becoming One with Infinity
I cannot Die as I fall through the oceans of a New Born Sun
I cannot feel as I touch Eternity, Total Desolation, exploring Infinity
My Mind it screams, It screams out loud, louder than all of Mankind
I have seen the End, Infinity - it blights the Flesh, Flesh of Mine
7. Carrion
As algid Winds blow across the Land, scattering Ash over all that once was
As Civilization is torn to Ruins, Mankind is masked by a Shroud of Dust
A terminal Quietude has set in as Man's last Strongholds have begun to fall
We feed on the Arrogance of Man, We dethrone the Lords of Creation
While creation cries out in Pain, Hope loses all Importance
Nothingness awaits while Man baths in the Blood of Earth
As Mankind sings It's last Requiem as an Ode to It's own Annihilation
The Peace long spoken of, It has come at Last
The Destruction of Mankind, because We are the Carrion
As algid Winds blow across the Land, scattering Ash over all that once was
As Civilization is torn to Ruins, Mankind is masked by a Shroud of Dust
A terminal Quietude has set in as Man's last Strongholds have begun to fall
We feed on the Arrogance of Man, We dethrone the Lords of Creation
A Lie that was called Hope is exposed in the Final War
Deaths unfeeling Hand reveals the fouls Stench of Decay
Liberated of your woeful Plight, your inner mindless Drought
This Heritage Site called Earth will soon be forgotten
While creation cries out in Pain, Hope loses all Importance
Nothingness awaits while Man baths in the Blood of Earth
As Mankind sings It's last Requiem as an Ode to It's own Annihilation
The Peace long spoken of, It has come at Last
The Destruction of Mankind, because We are
We are the Carrion!
8. Chunks of Meat
Lying in his grave, maggots crawling out of his face
Skin has started to decay, eyeballs have rot away
Chunks of meat
That is what she loves to eat
As she graves for mangled remains
The moisted body
She ties it on to the bed
In an act of violence
She decapitates his head
Blood spurting from the stump
Suck that juicy chunk
Body sawn in two
Rotted meat she fucks and chews
Chunks of meat
As the rotten body lies
All covered with sores and flies
She eats away his gut
Revel in blood
Taste the formaldehyde
Feel the heavenly rush
She fucks herself with his dismembered cock
After the climax, she takes away the corpse
To get it down where it eternal rots
9. As My Soul Gazes Skywards
Walk with Me as my Soul gazes Skywards. We see no End to Misery
This is the Pain that sees Us through our Way
A path of broken Spirits, of healed Wounds, a crippling Sorrow void of Salvation
My Voice will call You back from the Darkness that assured Deliverance
Our Destiny will lead us down Paths of Sacrifice, Paths of Solitude and no Return
We will be reborn and forgotten
We draw in the Ashes We rose from, We walk in the Ashes that We shall become
Our Tears break the Light to illuminate the bidding Pathways
Our Past shall become a Beacon in this black painted World
As We wander towards the black dawning Sun my Soul gazes Skywards
Forgotten, Lost
A fallen Rune beneath a starlit Sky
Dust to Dust
An Eternity of Nothingness
This is the Pain that sees Us through our Way
A path of broken Spirits, of healed Wounds, a crippling Sorrow void of Salvation
My Voice will call You back from the Darkness that assured Deliverance
Our Destiny will lead us down Paths of Sacrifice, Paths of Solitude and no Return
We will be reborn and forgotten
We draw in the Ashes We rose from, We walk in the Ashes that We shall become
We are blessed with Life yet our Hearts yearn in mortal Ways for Heresy
And still this Symphony weighs against My Grief
As my soul gazes Skywards it lifts itself higher than a God can reach
Beyond the Realms of Heavens lie the darkened Skies
Take my Hand and look straight up, embrace Bereavement
Witness Our Nightfall, Walk with Me as My Soul gazes Skywards
Lie next to Me as Tears weep unto Our Fate
We see no End to this Misery
As my Soul gazes Skywards
