Eviscerate

We seek only release from this mortal infection
That has turned my flesh to ash, now reduce me to nothing but bones
How we beg for release from these mortal cages
That have held us back for so long and bound me to this world
I dream of days, now long forgotten
When we roamed free through this corrupt creation
Now that the canvas is empty and blank, our fates unwritten
Tonight we will be kings and reign for evermore
Cast into the storm my thoughts now focus on vengeance
I have accepted the serpent of old into my heart
Now as my body fades, I'm left with nothing but memories of pain
But to me this life is worthless and filled with suffering
I will be the martyr of the new age that bring your crimes light
Commit genocide to wipe out the tenets of an old religion
Freedom, faith and truth is everything your god despised
You put your faith in false prophecies for fear of this night
Now you say its the truth, for it was written
I could show you the truth, it lies right before your eyes
I dream of days, now long forgotten
When we roamed free through this corrupt creation
Now that the canvas is empty and blank, our fates unwritten
Tonight we will be kings and reign for evermore
Reign, for evermore

Cities of Gold

Your soul cast far beyond the grave
To rest beneath the ground, the shame
To reach the deepest depths of hell
Your soul forever damned in my name
The symphony of the damned will ring out throughout the land for all to hear
The cried lies in the night, resounding forever begging for respite
But we feel no remorse for the weak and the wretched, their tortured souls they scream
Your soul cast far beyond the grave
To rest beneath the ground, the shame
To reach the deepest depths of hell
Your soul forever damned in my name
Before your eyes the world will burn
As the soil turns to ash four oceans
will fade Into the depths of history
Creatures of blood will rise
While dust blocks out the skies
This fate you march towards
Blinded by democracy
Your soul cast far beyond the grave
To rest beneath the ground, the shame
To reach the deepest depths of hell
Your soul forever damned in my name
Your blood will fuel our crusade
To purge this world of all we fear and hate
We’ll start anew upon this fresh slate
Be reborn in the stars so far
Rise again the tenets of old
And rebuild your cities of gold
Your soul cast far beyond the grave
To rest beneath the ground the shame
To reach the deepest depths of hell
Your soul forever damned in my name
Your soul forever damned in my name

The Reign of Tyrants
04:51
|

Fall from your throne, face your own creation
This land you’ve ruled, now turned to ruin
Disaster ascends, now face the flood
The once obedient masses, now lust for blood
This is the day chaos will rise far beyond your mortal perception, we claim retribution
Fall to your knees, a tyrant has come, those who stand before me shall face evisceration
You may be a martyr of revolution and freedom for now
I will see you in chains and torn apart by wolves, oh how they howl
From far away the legion returns to take the heads of traitors
Enlightenment is what you lust for
But only though violence can you achieve it
Death and destruction is all you bring
A land of order cast into chaotic winds
I’m all that stands between destruction and madness
And I will cleave the falsehoods you gave birth to
Now in the night, flames will rise to light a scene of impure mutilation
A people once proud have fallen so low, nothing more than vicious dogs without morals
I would see the world burn before you achieved your final victory
Rule over the ashes and command the few who survive my justice
Skewer them upon my sword and let the blood flow free
There will be a reckoning
For beliefs that you’ve held and lies that you preach
All this destruction you've unleashed
I will make you crave death and beg for sweet release
There can be no salvation until you embrace your suffering
Witness the end, the end of all that you’ve held dear
I will rise to the top upon a mountain of brass skulls, so high
I can hear the screams of souls, to me it’s a beautiful symphony
Vengeance is my name, a spirit conjured or a demon risen
It matters not for the outcome is the same
I will see it all fall and everything before me will burn
Even the creator of time is beholden to me

From the Depths
04:04

Fall from the heavens to the ocean floor
Embrace the fate laid before you set in stone
The icy currents will drag you to the depths
You may scream but no living soul shall hear
To feel the krakens breath upon your skin
The shadow of your past life can no longer hide your sin
Your fate is closing in, memories of a rotting world
Mistakes you’ve made will flash before your eyes
For what is dead can never die
But rises once again stronger and free
In your dream there lies the key to unlock this secret
Save yourself from this fate you’ve condemned yourself to
Corrupted by visions of failure
Now bleed from all that you once held dear
To feel the krakens breath upon your skin
The shadow of your past life can no longer hide your sin
For what is dead can never die
But rises once again stronger and free
What is dead can never die
But rises once again stronger and free
Blood for blood, life for life
While gods wage war in the heavens rivers of blood will traverse this land
No mercy for the weak, the strong they will survive
Now pray to your god as you watch your descendants die
Rise from your watery grave
There’s still much to be done
Take up your sword and shield the world from the dying sun
The oceans will rise to cover this dead world
While our future rests upon snow-capped mountain tops

Terror Rising

Feel the terror rising within your heart let fear grip your soul
Their eyes are upon you so don’t disappoint or be condemned to rot
Your actions will define the future forever more
Intersecting possibilities of what could finally be
Nations will rise and tyrants, they will fall
We could fall to the depths or rise to the heavens to cast down our gods
Feel the terror rising within your heart let fear grip your soul
Their eyes are upon you so don’t disappoint or be condemned to rot
In a moment everything changes for the better or for the worse
In this moment we’ll show who we really are
Feel the terror rising within your heart let fear grip your soul
Their eyes are upon you so don’t disappoint or be condemned to rot
Can you feel the terror rising
Can you feel the hatred building
Can you feel the fear is fleeing
Can you feel the beast inside is waking
For what’s inside has been unleashed
The dark within has come to feast
For what we all have always feared
Has come alive tonight in our dreams
We will unleash the legion
Shape the world to our desires
Defile your monuments and burn your sacred places
Destroy civilisation, rewrite history, define ourselves as gods
