Son of Fate Rides Atop Crushed Gods 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Forth from the weaknesses I followed Laughing in a holy dawn Death, son of fate rides atop crushed gods Lords from majestic halls reveal immortality at the feast Cremate the apocalypse scriptures' conjuration of dark nothings Sanctify empty idols heeding the messiahs' faith Preachers and their flocks exist Begging their evils for obliteration Smiling denunciations of inferior lives gasp through the lies Drawing the waiting toward dismal transgressions forged in the lungs A sudden will through the nations begins to bow to victorious rage, burning like demonic fires of serpents' beliefs

Ghoulish Truths Enclose 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Children of jealousy's madness free to die at the feet of the hill. Victims of unforgotten powers fooled by feelings of greatness Wolves unheard for generations called by crushing vastness Ashes of weak settings closer to approaching promises Touch inviting hands ending the flow of blood Slowly walking words fade through paths of dirt Glad need of the revered night's haunted liars Give burdens to those of the basin Ghoulish truths enclose One rises at the meeting where sanity blazes with fear and lords disguised as gods celebrate at the table of war Sulphurous claws increase Scaring new breaths Skin of stallions yellows in terror beside thrones and tales Signs of mortal witchery bring the grounds and agonize the seeds of every sabbath meal drawn from the altar of discord Six of the priestly horns hang on holy rains Broken chains in the chalice drink the mercies of the damned

Flames of Vile Heritage 05:27
lyrics
buy track
Tales of ancestors' departures to secure the mortal magics and fulfill the dreams of the folk Trusted visions attack flames of vile heritage A perpetual mental fall never reaching my culture's land Hallowed spirits wait Weakening the fronts of the animas Find bravery arriving Chancing the warrior's crown as a hero's body crosses Led to see the realms Victory at the Valkyries' gates opening in the dues of combat Sending wide glories Closing the price of battle Dungeons of paradise in fortunes of deep hatred come to begin spells toward clouds on the backs of the greatest times Strive for and consume the next fearless winds struggling like bones over broken fields Beings spill their matter Conceding the change I raise All the stones I claim will dwell Triumphs are the spoils of this era

Artistic Banners of Hatred's Fullness 05:36
lyrics
buy track
High angelic masters hold deceptive gods Artistic banners of hatred's fullness desecrate to black the three chaste outcasts in writhing flames of rebellion Dedicate the domains of hypocrisy bathing in poisoned laughter Drink of mercy and might from shrines of the one law Churches are beggars' wombs enslaving the burning nations Children of this vile union together choose their losses Salutations become support Brothers in the darkness of blasphemy Sisters chant for the kingdoms Lunacy spreads from my eyes Working to bring my name from rot to absolute commotion

Winds Dwell By the Gallows 04:58
lyrics
buy track
Wake and find your doom from edges of older sleeps Curse the dignity of priests refused by the cliffs of history Meet the tops of thunders where faces change at rest Sacred winds rise as sure as the present time for destiny on the tidal hill Heat of light is the lands and the stars, their poisoned tears Brothers of shadowed arts Creators of the ancient rings Sinners hail their deaths in the right places of these worlds A lone vulture among the swans
6.
Unresting With Planets In Sight 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Survivors of ashen times stand in a dark gap Hunters in the sands by the towers envenom the weapons of blasphemy Far from the landscapes of living walls Unresting with planets in sight Your selves are corpses of these worlds screaming across the only carapace "Steal the burned fragments and strike into the shadows of the earths" Near the void of dying gates Content to imagine a vision

Rulers Suffering In Dust 05:41
lyrics
buy track
Man escapes and wanders places on moons that grip every tyrant in bestial pain Hideous fearful wrath Rulers suffering in dust bark the commands of hate "Capture agony in the storm with the call of tormented cliffs." Raise the souls of the oppressed choking on the hells of war Roots of living conquerors create and bear the shackles that chain the voice's eye Scratch the holy depths bound by signs of violence Shining creatures in dread come to the end of the witching Certain viruses withdraw swords from my hands to the fires Ancient frights in the court and angels of the crime were enthroned Consumed in the belly of light the moment dictators are faithful

Cemeteries of Pestilence 06:12
lyrics
buy track
Bring and cut the omens hanging knotted over worlds Rotting stars turn over seas of waiting hope Times of late earths say encircle firm decay Live the ways of worms by day and rats by rules of life Gods sign a message of hate's endemic genocide Authors feed above enemies Finishing the terror of the cosmos Contagions of sight and bones lift the broken from sorrows Rise and stand to feed on suns Chance the clouds as hunger's spells torch and scourge the way Brains born to pass in lying, shameful forms see the ignition of surrender Weeping minds at dawn devour the gods' marble winds Confess the loss of wars and fears to climb, consume and fall

Lies to Waiting Minds 05:50
lyrics
buy track
Heavy withering spirits of elders hidden in age People of eager waters hate the makings of prey Uncaring man of stillness out in midnight circles hears the howls of earths paid with creeping storms Owls stalk in concentric shots against the ten thrones Worlds of breathing trees shatter the treasonous wings Watch the obvious kill One robber to the beast Blizzards of voices and bodies estimate the grave births Believe cemeteries become as frost seems to go Snatchers encompass the heads to surrender the realms of madness Bones of faces like memories remember unshining skies A late dawn today removes the wounding glance Preach by falling lights Lies to waiting minds Human masters untried pound the black dark Behold the work of rats Reason by dirt and ice and listen for lurking purity Step toward the calling chasm in times of majestic auroras Funereal shadows guide sons of spectral might past the coming lands
