Paralysis 01:51
Spilling blood on the lives of the innocent. What a world we live in. So dark. Eyes turned blind, pain incarnate from deep inside. Scratching out for the world outside your nightmares realised. Eyes turned blind, pain incarnate from deep inside. Scratching out for the world outside your nightmares bury you alive.

Repent 04:10
Clawing, grasping, reaching out for another reason to gouge my eyes out. Feelings of another hand choking the air around my neck. No room to breathe. Lie below and take your last breath, gasping for judgement. Sickened by the name and all you’ve done; your days are numbered. Try to compare it. Back against the wall you’ve done wrong. Feeling in my spine leaving me numb, this is your nightmare. Watch it burn. The flies compose your wounds as your eyes draw the end. Your lungs collapse upon a body lame and cold. No hope for fear. The world is whole again. Desolated and dark. Dark clouds cover the world we walk and the right to stand in the merciful light. Bleed down what once before him, as we look on former glory. No ashes burn bright holding the bitter end of infinite life. Allow the blood to shed as the reaper comes to mark the end. No room for mercy. Mark the end of your life with a battle cry. See the pain wither away, reflections gone from my eyes. Remorse is for the weak, spending the afterlife on your knees. Bow before me.

Eclipse 02:37
To ignite endless suffering lay your hand on the page. Swear to your fathers’ stone. Follow the path of the blade. Show that you’re something more to dying breed as the reprobates fall to their knees. Ideals smeared from page to page as the dirty lord engulfs the stage. Standing in line, keeping the faith. The holy cross to mark your Sunday. Dripping with lust and ready to sin servants forced to surrender skin. The masterful deception is full of poison. Sermons of salvation, but no reprisal. Humility holds no place my master, we see no shame on your face. You bastard. The open palm you use to keep the victims sheltered, so rife with solitude your prayers remain unanswered. Fuck your banality. A wrecking ball of steel, why only I feel disgrace in shallow veins. Powerful in name.

Impaled by the sword. End your life, a mortal existence. Hear the breath slip from your lungs, craving eternal darkness. A blade of steel, I bare no shield. One hundred men, I will not yield. Scarlet tears impeded by sin, a blade cries to cut through skin. My hands coated in the blood of my enemies, I wipe the blade clean. Drive it through the heart of those who stand before me, wipe the blade clean. This dying march enslaves the world around, driving the stake in the ground. Succumb to the final resurrect as the gripping hands surrounds my neck. A war, the rage, a fire in my heart. A shield, the blade, no will to tear apart. Death is all that I see, the giant hand, immortals before me. Twisted visions cloud clear eyes. A pledge, a sacrifice, no human life. (Frazer Cassling of Cauldron) Your skin seethes as your mouth melts closed. Fuck your words, fuck you forever. Cauterise, I keep you on the edge of life. Severance: Fuck you forever. RTO

Ashen 03:02
The blood red sky, a fear for life. Eternal flame, death is divine. Meet the end of the scythe. Existence is no longer impeded by the world you hold. Existence is no longer a shallow hill for you to die on. Hopeless. This life is now too bleak. Upon ourselves morality is weak. In wait, our homes become our graves. Lives of many, the end of days. Ashes burned the fire is stone cold. Swilling in the blood of the new hole. Deep inside no beating heart, I wish the blade for goodnight. Gaia lies before me, tarnished by the plague of life. My visions filled with wastelands. A scorched earth engulfs my sight. Gaia lies before me, tarnished by the plague of life. Just bitterness to line the stomach of perpetual doom. Lying in your sickness as the hanging burden of rotting air looms. The oceans grey, the sky turns red. All of humanity among the dead. Exhausted life, the earth run dry. Holding onto the blaze for dear life.

Forgive me brother I have sinned beneath the weight of the world. Show me how to live again. Allow my life to unfold. Walk across the cracked expansion, dig me out of this hole. Listen to my solemn whisper. End is now. My righteous son bow before all that has been done. Lucidity echoes this vacant mind. Sanity no longer questioned, covering the book of despair. Divine hatred instilled through it. Callous hands still holding it there. Resistance of a new beginning, blasphemous to the core. The end is nigh. Pain is infinite. A new beginning, grasp for dear life. Bitter hatreds spawned from old wounds. Lie beneath them. Let them fucking take you. A wind named innocence blows hallowed. The shatter of breaking wind echoes alone. Uncover the bitterness beneath the skin as beating hearts bleed again. Loneliness is the final question. Have you learned from, what’s the lesson? Rooting in the heart of your core belief, don’t speak to me.
