1.	Sentinels of Thunder's Conception 04:37	lyrics	buy track
This place was my tomb I saw the face and survived Rush of ritual healing Harmonized steel rises toward crashing gleams Supernal agents dream reflections Windows of sorcery In a web of chains Again I question As rage refines rage Clear as the roaring moons Nights and mares and the clouds beneath We see the path in the sky Blossoming radiance Flesh of naked light astride the Mirrorsuns Defy the tears of spiral eyes Relating by the gods of youth We must try to make us once more one These legends are ours And we share Solar lions undenied Ready the lambent fortress Maintain hope to force reality A thousand words upon a thousand splendors Storms throb in shades of requiem against enemies From chasms of inverted lightning Atop plumes at the nexus of dawn Thunder spoke, "Done." White fire remains Sentinels of Thunder's Conception
2.	Screams to Banish the Wailing Dolls 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Praise me in the howling shadows In gardens of coiling apparitions Violent lunacy in fragile lands Of blooming legions Displacers of light Birthing limitations Enslaving me to die Raptured insanity felt its release Eternal victims of the sky Mayhem of living claws the chest Plays across the satchel of the spine Consume the gruesome valley of the comatose grotesque Cast down hypocrisy And recover your limbs if you can And we're banishing banshee wails by the heavy screaming of The Dimandaahl Judgmental soliloquies slough the stars As symbols bent bowed and broken Can't find the source of my damnation Condemn us, everyone Smouldering in illusory combat Tension of bloodblind mantrae Omnipotent vengeance And spectacular achievement Release the warriors of punishment Biological turbines fall Slit my skin it taints my wrists It takes some work for me Evaporate exhausting flesh Statreds of hatement in aphasia You're thinking things about yourself that they don't even think
3.	Flowing Across the Deathpoignance 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Formation and fusion of trance Along seas of The Deathpoignance Wide like the mynd that lies awake As a feverweary nomad Imagination never sleeps Blind senses scream in shock Before perception, a gorge Refraction and inversion through the lens Colors float in flesh of eyes Hanging from the surface of the sky Visions recede like a wave Comets yoked through the deep Lighting the knowledge of centuries Shredded sails of magnetic stone bellow in the storm Brains float as reptiles against concentric sunsets Fall the skull of fire upon oceans upon oceans Dormant villages of manacled souls Enveloped by inferno Blistered and charred Masses in the tonsils of crypts In the shadows in shame Pens cut like swords across paper in hand Words incinerated by the codex devourer Tapping, biting, returning consciousness Frostclad desolation is the prelude to rebirth Benevolent forces in butterfly patterns Skeletons of cosmic tones Light your star away Heroic master of identity Praise the dead, I am become eternal!
4.	Gifts In the Caves Beyond Favor 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Truth will come to you in lies Light beyond light behind darkness Commanders sharpening the luminous blade of voice Nuclear sabres for nebular wars Numb the atoll at the eschaton forge The first page of the new pledge A book is a delicate life Acidic gates of sulphur rainbows Immerse castles in the arcadian cradle of ferns Thyridium syllabe transformance Skills to reconcile characters Circle the dragons of a shrinking quasar Moonsaws, armored whips And pneumatic weaponry Mangle the lairs of planets Crying shores of a weeping earth Stone claws and humanoid forms Poison and potion, tomb and cave Silent cenotaph And prophetic cromlech Stargods in the floating heavens Feel timeless journeys within eternal moments Of deafening chaos The hermit sees the warrior bearing the spoils Without limitation, without doubt With profound gratitude
5.	Shifting Amongst the Conquests of Posterity 04:55	lyrics	buy track
I cannot remember my birth First came terror then transformation Energy to form back to energy Sacred fluid of the future Always flowing into me They believed in two eternities Poignance in transition Excites the mindflower Speeding heartbeats slow perception "Open!" and the choir falls Thoughts spin on their axes In an orbit 'round the mind Death has no reflection In this spectrum Beyond living comprehension Have misery upon me Abandoned to ponder the loss Deranged experiments of memory Shifting consciousness Without constant Invert the plains of fire Straging and brutish Upon the long path of posterity Oscillation of perception As I fall and rise Feel deep change And I still dream of finding a way Insanity hangs by a friend But you are never always alone Relentless valor And I will never regress Evergize and transcend the eternal Animate the coming sons Fortified to lead at dawn Ecstasy in every movement Take the searching hand And admire a new fear
6.	Drowning In the Midnight Air 04:07	lyrics	buy track
Something saw me drowning in the midnight air Sheep of the night life me up Out of the sky a diseased entity Filled yet never slowing Darkness whispers with the eyes "Drink the blood "And spit the dust "Into the face at the core of lament Freezing on the altar Sleepless in falling thunder Graveyard predators At the feast of stars And moonflesh Bestial horizon Of raging suns Shields of flame An arsenal of spells Solace in the darukh Perspiring at rest And the voice in my head said to hold on But the words on my hand screamed "Don't!" Know the burning is constant Like a tornado dressed in debris By my fingers the heavens are death
7.	Charging the Sum of Ancestry 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Primordial flagellation Covered in shades of ritual dementia Extending from molten lines At the confluence of sperm and egg All the cells who died Fallen beneath the heart Caverns of the wretch'd Massacre, intelligence, massacre Diminishing imperfections Irony of self-coincidence Immense skies in revision Augmenting dominance That devilry deemed insanity's spawn And dawn bestows objectives Thundertheist from below Charging the sum of ancestry The past is within, swallowed I am every ancestor my mirror reflects Extinction of exalted wrath's creation Remodeling the force of victory Might of betrayers bursts into feathers With fires of primitive conversions Echoes from the giver's current I will remain as your guiding hand
8.	Inside a View to Mirror Me 04:38	lyrics	buy track
Abandon all moments but the present Weave ideas and imagine thoughts Breathe the journey between paradigms Drink the voice of ecstasy Growing at a glance through the eyes Each sense a universe in infinite synergy Beyond the stagnant void of hate's existence Strangled by mortality Constrained by doors Latent telepathy rises As angst dies A gentle learning stare Resolves the vagaries of revelation Dark pupil inside A crystalline tapestry Pierces the depths of your regret Within the profound taking of elation Yearning to know in this oasis Before the final ember fades goodbye I am a man triumphant in the skies Drowning out my night by wake of life
9.	This Place Was My Tomb 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Echoes from the depths of mind A solemn roar at trance end Alive but unconscious Growing in strength Gravity changes the math In a different sonic universe Fractals of the azimuth Pump the spasm to force the power Into a single burst I stopped the unyielding tick of seconds Endurance fell and confusion shrugged Vultures from the immortal abyss I live on in the new spectrum Eternal resident of phinisteral abode "Old boy, what have you learned?" Life is ecstasy, life is god And the gods still walk the earth Toward the ninth aempire of ...
