Arrival 05:59
I was born in solemn wrath from the mouth of forces shrouded in night Whose nature not even myself can begin to fully grasp The curse of my essence carried by hapless men And passed on in ignorance into their brethren So I can leave in the wake of my flight anguish mankind has known since dawn I exist as a reminder of the everlasting frailty of men To teach humility through the most bitter sight of loved ones burning To be humbled by this overwhelming grief Merciless arrival Wearing the face of demons, I was known by many names through time and land Execrator from the nameless void, smother the hubris of nations Each time I´ve returned, it has always been the same Mankind is so predictable Suffering can never truly change “Clear the slate of this world” such words they spoke to me “ Flies shall inherit this wretched place” “Go forth, arise and erase” Lest they become the parasite they are surely headed to be The spawn of Eve has played its role and thus comes cleansing Extinction is the way, the key to existence I exist as a reminder of the everlasting frailty of men To teach humility through the most bitter sight of loved ones burning To be humbled by this overwhelming test from “God” A great rapture devoid of all grace This might unforeseen I´ve been granted No hope shall be laid in their hearts No shepherd to guide them away from this torment Foretold in the words of the elder Recited by heart by those deemed insane They spoke of redemption through disgrace The omens are true I am awaken Darkness prevails

Effigies 03:56
Since the moon saw the bastard crawl through the virgin´s thighs Bathed in blood and crying We have been spawned, bred in denial Our numbers growing larger as millenia pass us by Carrying the sun on our backs, one heavy step at a time To bring upon the real dawn of man and let it burn in all its glory Burning away the remains of an empire bathed in gold And thus rebuild this world True sons of men, bringers of balance Chased, tortured, killed but never silenced We honor the soul by revering the flesh with a crown made out of pleasure We are many, we are legion, blood cells of the Antichrist From fire and ruin is how we shall rebuild this world One heavy step at a time we carry the sun upon our backs Over and beyond Golgotha Step upon the rubble, light up the effigies tonight Step upon the rubble Light up the effigies

Pale Horse 04:08
Call this ditch your home and spend the night Stench and cold ride with the midnight wind Bathe on the dim light of planets veiled by smoke Behold the mockery that the gods bestowed upon us all With a gaze that goes ones thousand yards beyond Across a God-forsaken field that mourns and swells excreting foul vapors born from wounds I am compelled to march I have lived in terror, grown numb to fear I´ve slept with Death too many times Her touch impregnates me, I am the harbinger Now it´s the time to kill or die I was sent to fill their lungs with poison, to deal the noxious rain A day of breath for every name they carve in the cross of a new grave A bargain forged in misery, this deal I´ve closed with she who reaps all life She guides my hand, feeds on my crimes She wields me like her dreaded scythe The young command their bodies on a path towards an early end The soil receives their flesh with open arms as all the cries ascend As cries ascend Call this ditch your home and spend the night Stench and cold cling to my hands No sign of the moon will shine its light down on me I´ve been deprived of all humanity

From Beyond 04:25
Behold, winter twilight I feel the chill of autumn´s end The night to come is long It is waiting for me to make the call Dig up the remains with delicate reverence Remove the dirt that kept them still Pry open the lid of this inner sanctum that served as a house for the rotting Enter night of desecration where the constellations are aligned I have read the signs in fire Found the voice within to rise this chant An altar for the bones, crimson flows into silver chalices Sigils of candle wax will take our voice beyond the grave Rise now to share your wisdom Manifest yourself from the deep unrest We shall seek the answers right into the eyes of death itself Into the eyes of death itself The storm brews up, tree branches rattle Step up and show yourself Show us your unearthly secrets Tell us of our fate to come Behold, the stars are right Open wide your eyes as a chosen witness Through the black canopies the wind conjures a voice It spoke of abysses that can´t be reached by knowledge Taking perception through realms of cosmic dread In which the mortal mind cannot withstand enlightenment Truth wrote a threnody for sanity

I woke up to a nightmare World painted black by oncoming sins Then cut the ties that held my rage silent and still Doomed by the demons to break out The death of love was marked with the smell of gunpowder Blood and roses at my feet A sudden blaze inside my hatred driven heart Four thunders crossed the room, shaking the skies above Four harpies kissed the ground, crying dying oaths Their still cold words lodged within my chest The voice forever gone The agony of decency stopped by the roar of a gunpowder In silence the night will ditch their souls Lost in cold and night they shall rest until the memory Sleeps beneath the veil of lunacy Until the mind is broken by the weight of passing years The death of love was marked with the smell of gunpowder Blood and roses at my feet A sudden blaze inside my hatred driven heart A gruesome price to pay for a wicked choice of words The aftermath was vengeance and with a trigger justice was done

Laying on the grass is how I spend most of these dying days Face up, waiting for the stars, lost into the unknown Euphoria hidden behind calmness of eyes and gentle words Waiting for the end of an aeon to come With moans merged together in a single roar Mountains giving in and oceans rising in despair Chaos awaits beyond, deep in slumber, still and cold Echoes residing in the head of chosen mad men Biding supreme I shall fulfill before this fire Wake up and walk with us With wings spawned from the flesh of time itself Break through the waves Towards the bloodshot clouds that render the death of the sky And all things beneath The stars will mark the birth of true freedom Before you take your leap across the cosmic spectrum Breaking the chains of our morale, free of guilt and boundaries We shall become one with the beast that dwells inside Come walk with us I call thy ruin forth

Joe Slater is dead, he´s better off this way His gross physique was not strong enough to carry the cosmic bond I salute you now, my brother of light Through the palace I have floated by your side I have floated by your side For we are roamers of vast places Travelers in many ages We have drifted to the worlds that lie beyond How little does the earth-self know of life and its extent? The realm that stretches pass the most cryptic of dreams For aeons I have strived to leave this carnal prison The carcass of my former host that now grows rigid and cold Meet and conquer the oppressor, cease his mockery at last Meet and conquer the oppressor, slit his throat so I can rise The fiend I´ll always loath The fiend that I despise Tonight I go as nemesis, wearing just and cataclysmic vengeance Watch me in the sky Close by the demon star The light of Algol shall dim besides the brightness of my rage I must depart, I must depart now But I know we shall meet again Perhaps in the shinning mist of Orion´s sword Perhaps in a prehistoric bleak plateau Once the solar system has been swept away, aeons from now In unremembered dreams or some other form For we are roamers of vast places Travelers in many ages We have drifted to the worlds that lie beyond How little does the earth-self know of life and its extent? The realm that stretches pass the most cryptic of dreams Watch me in the sky

Soy el recuerdo conjurado por miradas negras El pasado muerto que regresa a alimentarse de tu paz Levanto ante tus ojos lo faltante, el vacío Lo no merecido, lo imposible de obtener Volver a ver la calidez del sol convertirse en un infierno mas Las cenizas del hogar arrastradas por la crecida del rio Las cenizas del hogar, simple mugre en el viento Oh, dulce infección cabalgando libre por mis venas Ya no puedo seguir siendo el martir, me abandonan las fuerzas Debo extirparte, detenerte Arrancarte de mi carne de una vez y para siempre Con uñas y dientes, con el beso de este hierro ardiente Hundo mis dedos en lo profundo de la incisión Este agudo dolor es el precio de arrancar este peso muerto de mi negro pecho Y arrojar los restos a las fauces de los perros

Here at the misty shore is where we honor their name As long as our blood runs Taking our song to the depths of the ocean blue where they endlessly dwell Swim out Y´an-Thlei and let us mate in wicked ceremony May our hybrid offspring finally be the seal of this undying deal Let us celebrate in glorious ecstasy conjured by his mighty figure Wretched Lord, Bringer of Chaos, Master of the Void I wait on my knees for your cold embrace Take us back to the glory of the depths Back to my people, back on the path that leads to immortal life The waves carry gifts right into the beach May the loyal man rejoice Father Dagon, Mother Hydra Take our blood and feast on the flesh we provide Rising

Ancient knowledge of the Nile I´ve traveled ´round the world to find you And now that I am finally here I´m on the verge of tears For I´ve seen a glimpse of truth in the Stele of Revelation Legacy of deathless Gods laid in cryptic words Lead there by the hand of the seeress Sweet mistress bearing my child After summoning Thoth “They are waiting for you, Horus and his messenger” The equinox of the Gods has arrived Speak, speak, Hoor-paar-Kraat From the corner of the room I hear the mighty voice of Aiwass In dictation, he´s compelling me to write his words Help me, warrior lord of Thebes Help me in this revelation that I make today Help me, warrior lord of Thebes Before the children of man We burn in self-created light We burn like stars We burn in self-created light Light undivine

Watch the graves overflow at the whim of shadow thrones Born into golden cradles or risen from mere dust They claw their way atop the towers Way beyond the reach of angels to gaze at the meek with disgust Herding children into war, hiding their death amongst the numbers When profit no longer suffices strive to make them dance to the beat of your song A bullet will still make its way through their mortal flesh Their blood runs red and turns to rust when kissed by summer sunlight Vultures won´t decline the chance to feed on their eyes Behind the veil there´s true evil to fear and not a single God to find Venom dripping from the mouth of those entangled in their slime Graves of brothers overflowing, howling wolf of man The hunger never ends Sink the knives deep at their command As if your hands were their very fangs And let no man reach his final breath with his innocence unscathed Sink the knives deep at their command Just reach in, paint them red And the judgment spreads And the blame goes silent And all trust is gone And the truth is slain Then the war ignites And the flames rise higher As the graves go deep And the serpents reign
