Immolator 01:38

An unconscious motionless body Dragging through mud and leaves Past the woods, out into the open Lightning casts a shadow upon this morbid scene Rain pools surrounding in a filth of red Clawing a grave from the earth Until the bone protrudes from your flesh Until you feel the fires of hell In the distance you hear their voices You see their torches flickering flame One by one extinguished by the rain Desperate, defeated they retreat Until revealed by your disguise Unveiled, betrayed by the sky Deaf and blind you shield your eyes Escaping as they run to her side Like moths to the flame, gathering for genocide As a kings bloodthirsty reign, the innocent now the prey Hands nervously shaking holding a single knife Steadying as you cover each mouth and carve each heart Soaked in the blood of martyrs You've recovered what you thought you had lost To your knees you hold her close As she pushes a knife through your neck Crawl to your grave Descend to the depths Embrace the warmth Of eternal rest

Mydriasis 02:54
They surround you as you bleed Like wolves awaiting the death Of the shepherd To have their pick of the sheep Ground now trembles As they begin their ritual Their whispers turn to hymn Ambient unison They are the vultures, Swarming the dead Sent to collect Each abomination End this useless wasted life This meaningless existence Given purpose by the darkness Eyes now open As an open portal As your soul breaks free From its lifeless captor It takes its rightful place Calmly joining by their side Leaning over an empty shell A pitiless look of disgust Not plagued by the weakness of sympathy You ignite the flame that forever frees An unforgettable glow illuminates their eyes Stained by the ashes of self sacrifice Before the end of days An army will arise The oppressed will awaken The oppressor put to rest

Imperium 03:35
Below him lies the screaming prisons The tortured children of murdered men Cleansed and purged of their treacherous blood Rats rejoice in this crimson flood Creatures of Habit Slave to their freedom Ignorance won't release The thorns from the crown Alone he dwells in his dismal chambers Towering over his conquered kingdom Brooding for the next uprising To feel their bones perish by his hand Their Manic merciful cries His lurid lullaby Their hanging haggard remains Corroding corpses enshrined Wounded Animals cowering in fear An entire race of cowards An army of loyal men fight to protect their families His soldiers have sacrificed for their divine king They wear their severed ears around their necks To silence each gruesome war and to please their deity They move as shadows cast by flickering flame Slaughtering the innocent quietly in the dead of darkness This night they return to tension A room filled with starving peasants The king is starring lifelessly Into their distressed eyes Awaiting the sound of weakness To feed his faithful soldiers A sacrificial lamb Thrown to the wolves A panic breaks from the intensity The King is warned of a mutiny Immortal army of hellbent souls Sent to drown this blood thirst
5.
The moon portrays a shadow A great monstrosity They slither cohesively As serpents sent to retrieve The king of death whom they would So gratefully bleed So they could feed their souls For all eternity The castle walls come into clarity Standing as mountains surrounded by burning trees The king is standing fearlessly Casting lesser men of the immortal God They slow to a crawl as they see their enemy And walk among the chattering demons A scrutiny of each lifeless entity Fear Death It has come No Deliverance No Salvation Fear Death for it has come No Deliverance No Salvation Fear Death for it has come No Deliverance No Salvation The demons hoods fall back To reveal hundreds of rotting skeletons Laced with half melted skin Decaying portrayal of mortal sin Suddenly the army has froze Paralyzed by something they cannot transpose The skulls of the wretched now aglow The army ignites in an incandescent blaze This divine kingdom will burn Its soldiers will reduce to dust In time their King will join them In an abysmal agony Angel of darkness In the tomb of despair Awaits the final offering Of the crucified king

Requiem 04:37
An unmistakable doom overcomes a once towering throne Now sits atop the embers and stone of its great collapse Beckoning its once great king to restore its former glory But the day for redemption has passed into a night of reckoning Smoke from the ashes Slowly dispersed display The silhouette of a figure Come forth to its demise Fallen angel? the merciless god! This will be your resting place Your death will live in infamy His honor in resignation met with doubt The air clears, his motive revealed Once peasant cowards escort the dead When the foundations fall When the captor is the caged The people will arise They'll set this world aflame As the fires ascend from hell To purge the filth of calamity Accepting his defeat he sits at his throne Patiently awaiting their collective degradation The demons are surrounding him as a horde Constricting ivory suffocates his final breath A consummate mutilation of facial deformity Shattered sockets drowning in pools of blood Forever trapping the soul of the deceased A tomb of flesh and bone to keep him indisposed As a disfigured rotting corpse Left to feed his beloved rats Their malevolent purpose now fulfilled In an indignant artistry They're chanting an ominous hymn For eternal condemnation From the confines of their torment The peasants fearfully gather To become one with the immortal And rule for all eternity One by one they recite their requiem The sacrificial genocide of the human race What have we become? Murderers now seen as saviors? May our bodies rest in peace Below the shadows of our souls
