DROWN YOUR WORTH
04:35
|
|||
Welcome to the pinnacle of modern society.
Play dress up for the masquerade of this vulgar grand debauchery.
Not an honest man in sight. What the fuck are we?
Who gives a shit about integrity in this world of posturing?
Deceit, denial , a veil beneath you hide.
Gather, like flies, feasting on putridity
Entomb morality, rendered obsolete
Buried beneath, an altar of depravity.
It doesn't matter what you think of yourself , just what they think of you.
You can live with knowing you're a fraud, as long as they see who you want them to.
Fuck your dignity. Fuck your esteem. Drown your worth in the nethermost sea.
It's not a culture it's a heresy and no one out here is who they would have you believe
Childlike ambition bears it's mark
Seeps through our veins into our hearts
It doesn't matter what you think of yourself , just what they think of you.
You can live with knowing you're a fraud, as long as they see who you want them to.
Fuck your dignity. Fuck your esteem. Drown your worth in the nethermost sea.
It's not a culture it's a heresy and no one out here is who they would have you believe.
Blasphemous theatrics, bring close this hellish legacy
A fever sweeps through our shaken convinction , let the innocent be quaranteened.
Slaughter the masses, scatter their ashes and piss on their graves.
No reparations here, stake to the heart of the beast we became.
You are alone because you forsake
You are betrayed because you betray
Claw your eyes to deny them, draw the knife
Cut your mark across the backs of the world
Make your fucking mark
Carve your fucking path
What you cut will be cut back from you
What you cut will be cut back from you

IMPARTIAL DEVASTATION
01:19
|
|||
Havok descends through erupted skies
Put to rest beneath a sheet of ash
Wails of the dying turn to stillness of the dead
Sung to the pyres of an endless crematorium
Blood boiled to steam, red fog so inviting
Wander adrift, breathing ghosts of the trenches
Impartial devastation sweeps the horizons
Mother, child or soldier consumed no discrimination
Bodies piled skyward, a grim monument towers
A monolithic grave, its shadow blankets the decay
Blacker and blacker still growing.

A TOLL TO PAY
02:40
|
|||
Nothing can pull you back from the endless void this time
No one can see the light once the darkness stains their eyes
Emptiness, a hollow sickness depletes your will to fight
Submission is salvation, suffocation is sublime
Wretched gasps, a hollow prayer to the filth you held divine
Buried deep lungs of soil as the earth takes you alive
Reaping, the pale horseman's blade gleams in the night
Sharpened on the bones from countless of your like
Frigid blade
Cuts life from you
A toll to pay for betrayal
Gleaming blade
Down upon you
Cannot be saved without trace of virtue
Your redemption becomes impossibility
The life you've lived is worth less than nothing
Like a broken pane your memory crumbles away
Into the black annihilation awaits
Bring eternal night
Vanquisher of light
Mouth of the void
Devours all
Angel without wings
The cemetery king
Harvester who feeds the fallen to the...
Nothing has come for you to bring warmth from the other side
No one to take your hand and guide you t'wards the light
Plead him for an end as he comes bearing eager scythe
Annihilation is salvation, suffering is to survive.

BENEATH IT ALL
04:48
|
|||
Sloth begets sloth
Collective of defeatists
Drag each other lower and lower
The bottoms are ripened for feeding
Impiety storming a ceaseless rain
You all fill your cups
Drink it down, your spirit is extinguished
The ember pales, deserter you don't need it
Hail
Depravity
Decadence misleads us
Praise
Obscenity
Profane violator
Lost
Our way
Endless
Disarray
Vows
Severed
Honour
Broken, battered
When perseverance fades
and inner strength has waned
We fall, we crawl, we're dragged beneath it all
A day will come of reparation
Our tresspass, we reap what is sown
Atone for what's been desecrated
The errs ever steepening toll
A wage
Due in your name
A payment you can never make
Scourge
Rising
A cursed
Effigy
Hearts
Blackening
Omens
For all to heed
Praised ignominy
Ovation turn to eulogy
We fall, we crawl, we're dragged beneath it all
A day will come of reparation

LIMITS OF MERCY
04:04
|
|||
The Earth it shakes
It's foundation cracks away
Hell's pouring out
Beasts, demons spewing about
But their day is past
Their rule is flickering out
Gather your arms
Soldiers risen are abound
The sleeping army awakes
A legion of giants come storming this day
Strike, brothers from the heart
Justice no longer starves
We've seen our darkest days
Now we ignite
Our boots will march upon
The corpses of the hordes
Who stood across from our
Fists clenched and sabres drawn
Forged as a sword under flame
Impossibly sharp irresistable blade
Blades
By which we vanquish the offenders
Blades
By which cut down our imprisoners
Chained
Their shackles no longer contain us
Gaze
Our eyes ablaze, our minds unwavering, enraged
Hammers will fall in judgement as the wretches meet their sentencing.
No prison cells only the axes of the executioners.
Still too swift a death for such a fucking disease.
Our limits of mercy.
Glory prevails
Hell's hounds are driven down
Foes torn apart
Limbs and bones cover the ground
Vengeance takes shape
The wolves have come for blood today
Fire has met fire
Overrun by purging blaze
The sleeping army awakes
A legion of giants come storming this day
Strike, brothers from the heart
Justice no longer starves
We've seen our darkest days
Now we ignite
Our boots will march upon
The corpses of the hordes
Who stood across from our
Fists clenched and sabres drawn

REVEALED IN RUIN
04:12
|
|||
The truth from which you hide
A blindness you invite
War is coming, you have no choice but fighting
Refusal to awaken
Prescribe your own sedation
War is coming, braced or not it isn't waiting
Revealed
In Ruin
Revealed
In Ash
Uncovered
Through indifference
Bring onto us
What you will
What you will
War is coming, you have no choice but fighting
War is coming, braced or not it isn't waiting
Revealed
In Ruin
Revealed
In Ash
Uncovered
Through indifference
Bring onto us
What you
Will
What you
Are
Will be
Revealed In Ruin
And it unfolds, the nature that's within us
Adversity it's telling of what lies beneath
All posturing will cease
The challenges we meet
Some of us will weather storms
Others to our end's we're seen
Show me what's beneath
Strip away and make anew
Unmake what's weakening you
Find yourself
Revealed in ruin
Test yourself
Renewed within your ruin

VEIL
02:21
|
|||
Achieve at any cost.
There is no grace to find in loss
Insecurity's call to you is defeaning
Leave honour to the saints
With dignity, you've parted ways
Rock bottom of this hellride drawing imminently
Pray it ends you
Lies
Have fooled no one
Clear as words on a page your face reads guilt a torment withers you asunder
Lies
They sit heavy
A candle in a gail, your sanity a moment from extinguishing
Out
Lies
Have fooled no one
Clear as words on a page your face reads guilt a torment withers asunder
Lies
They sit heavy
A candle in a gail, your sanity a moment from extinguishing
A lacerated mind
Each lesion a depraved desire
Abhorrence tears your very being
Serrated by self torment
Ragged from endless regret
Embarrassments you can't forget
Choking on an aimless rage, collapse and
Pray it ends you
Pray it fucking ends you

AT THE HEELS OF GIANTS
04:27
|
|||
The opposition poised
Across the planes and bearing down
War crazed, his prey
Sentenced under new judge and jury
Eradication
Foes decimation
The chance to be pardoned now
Yesterday’s waste
Pissed on and stomped to the ground
With each blow he knows, this titan is shakeable
He feels the sway, this giant will give way
Each breathing moment a more certain victory
His heart, its very beat sends quakes
Ripples the air, its pulse deafening
Without restraint, fist upon fist
This giant will give today
A tidal wave
Eroding relentlessly
Mountains unmade, like sand within the grasp of veracity
At the heels of giants no more
Lifted up standing eye to eye
An onward we rise
Bullet in barrel of redemption
A rifle scope to a marksman’s eye
The greatest danger is a loaded mind
Crosshairs point to the shackles that bind
The fog is lifted
The blind will see
One liberated man can raise a thousand from their knees
Each a drop in flood they unleash
A baptism cleans the stains of tyranny
Battering the gates
Trembling as their halls shake
The dead beneath their heels begin to wake
Their armour wearing thin
Knives, incessant, creeping in
Echoes in the blackness, its whispers sing their hymns
Battering the gates
Lone
Steadfast
Bold
Relentless
Battering the gates

THE KILN
02:13
|
|||
Death bed proposition from a fading rule
It's shadow cast from withered flame
Out from growing blackness creeps a fleeting breath
Deceiver's tongue sharpened as a sword put to your neck
Another would be hero's ash
Feeds the kiln of crippled lands
Betrayer is made whole again
Resurrect anew
Age of treachery
Grip of malice
Timeless enemy
Hallowed false king
Ready fangs awake to meet the taste of death
Rejuvenate and dominate, the grave lord resurrect
His courtyard, a slaughterhouse, the hunt is effortless.
A cheek turned too many times, we graciously accept
Another would be hero's ash
Feeds the kiln of crippled lands
Betrayer is made whole on the
Bones of hollowed men
Blood, drained of children
Flesh stripped off brethren
Spirit of murder

SWORD OR SWINE
05:28
|
|||
On your knees to hail the new pharaohs
As false an idol as any we've ever known
The bloodied shepards, breeders of the slaughtered lamb
Befouled flesh, picked clean by the devil's hand
Cursed kingdoms rise, each brick a lie, the latest anti-saviour
Purpose expired, betrayed by desire, men stampede to their grave.
Born to a death toll
The burial is endless
Born to this death march
Straight to an unmarked hole
Pollute your flesh to wear their sordid marks
Give them all to sate your greedy hearts
Offer your brethren, offer your sons and daughters up
Offer yourself now to lick the boots that trample us
Born to a death toll
The burial is endless
Born to this death march
Straight to an unmarked hole
Bow to greet the serpent kings
They knight you with their guillotine
Forked tongues lap spilling blood
Constricted, spirits smothered dark
Smothered dark
Smothered dark
We've built our own decrepit cage
Where every day's another plague
Denying those who would protect
Upon our heart it's marked
Vile and desolate
Humanity's vanishing every day
It's not even taken, we give it away
And worst of all it's gone for what?
Another trinket for your fucking shelf?
Something to drape over your rotted self?
Ignorance bought and sold.
Their lies are endless to conceal the truth.
They've killed for centuries they'll kill us too.
The weaker flesh, the sweeter the taste.
We are the feast for hell on Judgement day.
Be the sword or be the swine.
