Enslave Fire
04:57
|
|
||
Paralyze the moment of reason
Flames enshroud the grains of memory
Incandescent aura of the supernal being
Now in ashes descend
Coalescing the internal conflict
Weaving the threads of insanity
The overmind in remission
I enslave fire
Desiderate the control of self
The antitheist dogma absolute
Fervent relevance towards revelation
Strike the hand of providence
Proclaim the will
I am the will unto itself
Manifesting against the void
Out of consequence
out of time
In the vessel of deliberation
Deliver me from consternation
My body is the temple
Of knowledge I am born
From knowledge I am born

Quandary Of Flesh
03:50
|
|
||
Suffer the physical death
The debridlement of slough
Infected with rot as necrosis sets
The body is cultured by wounds
Warmth has left the corpse, festering internal decay
The fragility of flesh, the vesalien epiphany
Cell structure breaking down, apathetic mortal waste
A life less lived, anonymous, another faceless human being
Nothing matters now
That the dead have come to claim their own
From materialist to protagonist
Reap what you have sown
Fear and underlying deceit
Inaugurate the blind while they walk in sleep
Unaware of the weakness ingrained
Possessions enthrall the entertained
Unveil the pure of creed
From the funeral shroud of mortality
Alienate the sickness and fear
Consuming impulse of life is here
Aspirate the vision
Reaffirm the affirmation
Discerning falsity
Figuring out the quandary
Celebrated hypocrisy
Within personal iniquity
Unmask the sepulchre
Reveal the structure of lies
Mute heteronomy
Sycophantic autonomy
Deconstruct the mentality
Reveal the emptiness inside
|

Oracle
04:00
|
|
||
Assail the senses and thoughts
Reconstruct the anatomy of autonomy
Transmigrate the individual consciousness
The awakening of self-analogy
Incarnate, integrate, replicate
You are collective, one and the same
Revel in the ignorance of your flesh
I will watch as the hive withers alive
Corporeal dilation
Focus envenomed
Severed entirety
Effervescence scourged
Agents of disillusionment
Christen the uninitiated
Infect the conformist mind
Reincarnate the failing paradigm
Exalt the lie
Enthroned upon deadened minds
Superficial construct
Advent of a soulless decline
Collapsing pinnacles of sanity
Breaking the unspoken solidarity
Embrace the apparent oracle
Fulfillment of this self-prophecy
|

4. |
Veneration Unorthodox
03:10
|
|
||
Relinquish the art of martyrdom
Hollow shell of unbecoming
Sacrificial ritual of discernment
Venerating absolutely nothing
Shed the skin
And place within
The forgotten thought
Through the flesh
Veils of blood
The resonant heart
Relive in the binding of what is reborn
Aware of how the self is being restored
Boundless quandaries of the fragile mind
Shatter the walls and the state confined
Different perceptions are marginalized
Obscure beliefs are unsanctified
Conform to the opposition
Bow in lucid trepidation
Collapse the form ostracized
Symbolic truths are compromised
Adhere to the intervention
Piously in aberration
Submit in surrender
Process of re-creation
Revel in enlightenment
Adepter of certainty
What we see is what we are to believe
What we say is what we are to receive
Bleeding for the words
|

5. |
Perpetual Decline
04:12
|
|
||
Name the terms of ambiguity
Failure rationalized
Set the standards of humility
The perpetual decline
Every thoughtless mind
Burdened by the Guilt of self-deprecation
Every single line
Unredeemable Acts of ill intention
Ingrained by insecurities
Hindered by forceful denial
Tribulated by indignities
Hands behind the shame
Attributed blame
Unjustified
Without pretension’s curse
To fulfill the endless need
For one to come in first
Embrace not the greed to succeed
Feel the weight of the world
Crushing you down low
Ambition was the drive
But now it’s feeding a lie
Going deep
further down
Crashing hard
leveled ground
|

The Necropolitan
05:38
|
|
||
Deep inside the mind you’ll never know
Hidden secrets of memories long forgot
Blinded eyes of which will never show
Insidious intentions and malicious thoughts
Dead inside, paving ways endlessly
Going through his silent suffering
A death-like trance has taken hold of him
A dreamless world has no beginning
Disparity unfolds
Recognition unknown
Faceless reality
Pitiful existence
Counting faces on the wall
Splitting numbers to pass the time
Inevitable circumstance
Coveting contentment
Self-delusional environment
Labyrinths of the dead
A dirge for the mind
The ending inception
Perspective maligned
Twisted into horror
Insanity purloined
From the hands of subjugation
A steady decline
Away from human intervention
Surrounded by perditious signs
Ruin and wreck spawned from his own designs
Apprehended by the unnameable
Forced to crawl upon all fours
|

Recesses Of The Hollow
03:46
|
|
||
Reveal the remnants of the vile
Upheaval of acrimonious certainty
Recesses of which the empty bow
In reverence to absolute frailty
What did they see, What did they believe
What have they done wrong
Led by the blind, End of the line
Losing their minds in disgrace
What could they do, Death followed through
Nothing but ash remains
To receive in unction
The undisclosed submission
Revel in absolution
Congregate in rapture
Crevices of the eye
Read between the lines
Subtle undermining deceit
The essence of mankind
Seething truths to scathe their lies
Deafening silence meets untimely demise
The erupted wrath to which the empty bow
In reverence to ones they formerly despised
Tragedy in piety
Filial gestures Scorned
Fervent worship unresolved
Prostrate devotion Scorned
The everlasting faith, Consumed by the depraved
Venit dies
dies irae
The neverending age
Coalesce to disengage
Mindless flesh
a soulless cage
|

8. |
Enlightenment Despised
04:28
|
|
||
Disregard the will to live
High upon pedestals of the lowest stature
Incompetence reprieved
Self-assertion of a magnanimous order
Watch the actions falter
Witness as the words decay
Symbiosis of nihility
Representative of nothingness
Counter-balancing the anti-matter
Decisive actions hold no polarity
Mirrored images of what could have been
Shattered instances of reality
Awareness ignored
Abusing the factors of circumstance
Self-victimization
Paving the way to the inevitable end
Live for the day
To fathom not the day after
Slowing to delay
An affliction of which passes over
Contrived movements stay
Unhindered by the once betrayed
Tender faces portray
Innocence rendered in disarray
|
||||
9. |
||||
Rise in the hour of death as it comes to claim
Trails of bodies lay in the path of change
Rot and filth in elaborate splendor
Cursed days of Armageddon
Pray for this resurrection now
Birthed in malevolence
Shrouded in flame as
The world burns to it’s end
Witness this new age of suffering
Equilibrium
Cleanse the ways of old
Raise the new utopia
Like a predator
To its prey
Comes the overthrow
Of this bastard reign
Rise up dead in apostasy
Watch as the flesh peels away
Radiated sickness contaminating
The soul decays
Show them ways to the grave
Denizens of a new hell await
Emergence of a viral plague
The end of days
To return, in aversion
A course of certainty
To wallow, in submission
Beneath grievous entities
Celebrate the end of everything
All is lost in dream
Cry for salvation
For all I see is death
Rise up dead in apostasy
Disciples
Show them ways to the grave
Subservients
Slaves
Dawn of a dead aeon
