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

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

A Sudden Blaze
04:17
|
|||
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

To Rise as Nemesis
04:45
|
|||
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

La Extirpación
04:03
|
|||
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

Back to the Depths
04:43
|
|||
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

Ophidian Towers
06:34
|
|||
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
