Tracks



01. In Splendour

With sharpened swords
To last man standing
The air cathartic with iron and victory
This static show of force
Drenched in paranoia
In this world lethargic
You're watching us peel

This refreshing stench of submission
Enough to weaken the strongest of men
Humiliated and degraded
For the greater good
Swallowed spit and gagged on blood
Awakened in sin

Bow down
Let all your fears sink in
Submit
To why we all survive

Breathing heavily
Sweating and blood-clotting
Building character for wvery inch
This profound diabolic learning
Is invigorating as your cells they flinch

Bow down
Let all your fears sink in
Submit
To why we all survive

Bow down
Let all your fears sink in
Submit
To why we all survive

Bow down
Submit

02. Casket Closing

Can you see who's standing above
Looking down on something grey
Casket closing, you can't move
Biting harder on that gag

I want you to leave me far behind
To start over and create
Something of your own
I want you to be free from me and find
Someone special to call your own

There you are, flat on your back
Wondering how did you end up here
When you're breathing down someone's neck
You should find out about who that is

I want you to leave me far behind
To start over and create
Something of your own
I want you to be free from me and find
Someone special to call your own

Casket closing, you can't move
Biting harder on that gag
Casket closing, you can't move
Trying to scream but no one is there

Do you know why they want you dead?

I want you to leave me far behind
To start over and create
Something of your own
I want you to be free from me and find
Someone special to call your own

03. Next Closed Door

I'm just walking by myself
In a crowd of thousand heads
All of them looking at my face
Like something's missing in my life

Oh everything I've been fighting for
Is behind the next closed door
I've been fighting all my life
I want to turn this page around

All these people passing by
I don't think anybody smiles
It's kind of a Monday morning feeling
I've got to chase the boredom out

Oh everything I've been fighting for
Is behind the next closed door
I've been fighting all my life
I want to turn this page around

Turn the page now
Please erase my
Monday morning feeling

Oh everything I've been fighting for
Is behind the next closed door
I've been fighting all my life
I want to turn this page around

Everything I've been fighting for
Is behind the next closed door
I've been fighting all my life
I want to turn this page around

04. The Hurricane Season

Did you inhale the dust?
Take a deeper breath?
Feel safe? Let's start again
Ripping apart the seams

Controlled, yet now collapsed
Is this when time implodes?
As we see, the walls came down
Naked? Then dry our tears

We're wrapped up in a tight, silky web
Like the larvae, feeding upon remains
We're wrapped up in a tight, silky web
Like the larvae, feeding upon remains

Open our mind and let it drift away
This endless moment, never to raise its siege
Open our mind and let it drift astray
There's no awakening, never am I to sleep

Being baptized again
Renamed to cold and hollow words
But do I want this to end?

Controlled, yet now collapsed
This is when time implodes
The hurricane season's here
Cover my ears

We're wrapped up in a tight, silky web
Like the larvae, feeding upon remains
We're wrapped up in a tight, silky web
Like the larvae, feeding upon remainss

Open our mind and let it drift away
This endless moment, never to raise its siege
Open our mind and let it drift astray
There's no awakening, never am I to sleep

05. Propaganda

We're born with masks and bred to lie
We're burning bridges, burning skies
A nihilistic genocide
You'll end up knee deep in filth

Exploding, burning, melting down
Imploding, bursting, cracking up
Annihilistic genocide
Born at the dawn of time

Strengthened with weapons and grenades
Strengthened with bullets, ropes and blades
When cornered, whipped and hunted down
We're all that's left behind

Propagate this venomous
Absolute design

So, get your guns now
Let's show them how it's done
We need your guns now
To show them how it's done

We're born with masks and bred to lie
We're burning bridges, burning skies
Put trust in us and you'll survive
We won't die, we multiply

Propagate this venomous
Absolute design

So, get your guns now
Let's show them how it's done
We need your guns now
To show them how it's done

So, get your guns now
Let's show them how it's done
We need your guns now
To show them how it's done

So, get your guns now
We need your guns now
To show them how it's done

06. The Paraclete

Soaking the Earth with wine from his hands
Creating a new Nile with blood and stains

Devouring and binding your crowd as the snake
No halos, just swords splitting a child in half

Stand aside
Will you remit with me the witness of your deceit?
Stand aside, let them adore
I'm undivine yet the perfect paraclete

Blinded you hear me preaching
For end-times - the new times to come
Blinded you try to reach him
That new day...

Forged from pawns - forged to crowns
Gleaming for all in this sulphur rain

Stand aside, let them adore
I'm undivinde yet the perfect paraclete

Blinded you hear me preaching
For end-times - the new times to come
Blinded you try to reach him
That new day...

07. Scythe

A new star burning bright
Through the forests and through the sky
Trembling both the meek and might
A New Redeemer Has Come To Die

Igniting the earth
With his Passion and wrath
This ascendant of death will
Show all righteous their path

Embrace ourselves with this...
Are we not done this far?
Applaud the coming of... shining
Brighter than the sun
Are we not done this far?
Embrace ourselves in this... shining

Did we smile, our work to see?
Did we who made the lamb make thee?
The blind and deaf and dumb will reap
This rotten seed

Our prophet now attired
With cloaks made from human skin
Burning bright as fires Strike the sky
Redeeming us to sin

Embrace ourselves with this...
Are we not done this far?
Applaud the coming of... shining
Brighter than the sun
Are we not done this far?
Embrace ourselves in this... shining

Embrace ourselves with this...
Are we not done this far?
Applaud the coming of...

Embrace ourselves with this...
Are we not done this far?
Applaud the coming of...
Brighter than the sun
Are we not done this far?
Embrace ourselves in this... shining

Embrace ourselves with this...
Are we not done this far?
Applaud the coming of... shining
Brighter than the sun
Are we not done this far?
Embrace ourselves in this... shining

08. Descend

Welcome in to my burning world
Try to stand and feel the pain

Can never deny just who I am
Can never design another man
The sulphur is raining on me
I'm bursting in perfect flames

I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below where mammon is god
I'm falling, I'm falling down
I lie to myself as my ego descends

Why try to exceed your own design
Why try to be everything in Ttme
I got to dind my place
Where sulphur's not raining on me

I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below
I'm falling, I'm falling down
I lie to myself

I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below where mammon is god
I'm falling, I'm falling down
When my ego descends

Falling, I'm falling down
I'm falling, I'm falling down

I'm falling, I'm falling down
To far down below where mammon is god
I'm falling, I'm falling down
I lie to myself as my ego descends

09. Trial & Error

Waking - here we go again
Basting pieces, de-skinning my bones
Wading through old blood and stains
Restructuring the crime
To reach the end of the line

Angelic choirs sing - Am I forgiven?

Split my flesh to reveal
There's nothing left to curse
Tearing my wounds in vain
When seeking for myself in pain

Fading into a brand new day
Godless dreams breeds a hopeless wake
Scarring these old wounds again
Preparing my demise yet expecting reprise

Demonic legions shriek - I am forsaken

Split my flesh to reveal
There's nothing left to curse
Tearing my wounds in vain
When seeking for myself in pain

Split my flesh to reveal
There's nothing left to curse

Split my flesh to reveal
There's nothing left to curse
Tearing my wounds in vain
When seeking for myself in pain

Split my flesh to reveal
There's nothing left to curse
Tearing my wounds in vain
When seeking for myself in pain

10. I Am The One

Did you ever believe that this could be a way to think?
To open up your mind to something other than the way you were...
Jesus Christ is crawling in your head
I think I know the truth but your
Brainwashed mind ain't ready so

I brace myself to say
I am the one
For me today
I am the one

Take a walk with me
And listen to my thoughts
We can all do something
So they'll start to see the truth
Turn around their heads
Make them see the fact
We can all do something
So they'll start to see the truth

If you really need someone to put your
Beliefs in now
Turn your head at someone real
Yes, put your faith in me

You just try 'cause I
I am the one
Just say the phrase
I am the one

11. Calling Out

I never realized that you're the one
That will teach me to be dead
But you never understood that
I will twist around your head
The way I live my life I know that
You will not approve, but
I don't give a fuck
Because I live just the way I want to

Everytime I close my eyes I hear them voices
Everytime I'm all alone I see that face

Calling out so I'll change my ways
They don't see why I choose to be me
Trying hard to end the reason of my life

Now I know who the fuck you are
And what you want to do
You think you know the truth about me, but
That's just fucking bull
Which one of us do you think will die
With a big fat fucking smile?
I know I will do because I
Lived just the way I wanted to

Everytime I close my eyes I hear them voices
Everytime I'm all alone I see that face

Calling out so I'll change my ways
They don't see why I choose to be me
Trying hard to end the reason of my life

I'm not your pain
I'm not your pain
No I'm not your
No I'm not your pain

Calling out so I'll change my ways
Working hard to turn me in to someone else
They don't see why I choose to be me
Trying hard to end the reason of my life

12. Seven Ends

Open up, tell the truth
Give me 5 so we can seal that deal
Show me teeth, say those words
And enjoy your high that comes with that sin

Send a rope so I can choose
Send a rope so I can do the biggest choice of all

Write the rules now, the book needs closure
Make the deed and write eulogies
Can you smell it? The fear is closing
Coming fast to get a hold of you
And drag you down

Send a rope so I can choose
To climb or tie a noose
Send a rope so I can do
The biggest choice of all

Every inch of me is blue
The fire's licking me through and through
Seven choices, seven ends
Licking the clothes straight from my skin

Tell some lies, that will make me smile
Tell me why, I need to make misktakes

Every inch of me is blue
The fire's licking me through and through
Seven choices, seven ends
Licking the clothes straight from my skin
