Oblivious 06:39
In you revolting The concept of destruction It’s the dawning of a new hate You awake Leave me, with my insanity As I said before I was born oblivious In you exhuming The notion of extinction It’s the dawning of a new hate You arise Leave me, with my insanity As I said before I was born oblivious So unjust Making me the agent of death So unfair Leave me struggling with my despair Falling far behind Death is at my side Please, leave me be Crawling on the ground Nowhere to be found Please, leave me be Leave me, with my insanity As I said before I was born oblivious So I rape as we sow And I kill as I grow into this monster This Nemesis of mankind I draw blood, I infest fear I spill my seed into a darkened void Where despair might grow And that will be the cradle To the dawn of a new hate I never wanted this to happen I never even knew I had it in me To become the executioner Of sorrow and woe So who’s to blame? Me? Or you?

A crimson carnage scourged the land For days on end As Mephisto’s Maestro rallied his troops Again and again To pillage, plunder Sowing rape, ruin and despair The screams, the panic, the terror Echoed everywhere Steps of fearful fledglings fill the night Imprinting tragedy and searching For a higher ground to hide Soft sweetened voices haunt the dark Reconciling solitude Or what appears their reasons to embark Within weeks of bloodshed The stench of rot and excrement The horde of horror encountered A desolate broken down stronghold The settlement showed little signs of life Once the wolf pack entered the hide Grey dormancy had taken hold of the abode A keep to hide well and dwell As the night fell, the horses found ease And the campfires calmed down Releasing thin grey shivers Dancing into the dark and cold night sky A dreary calm, a lullaby for the damned As suddenly, out of nothing Or out of everything, A childs’ voice cried Sworn to lose, none will be None could win, forced to see Piles of young born flesh Twitching on a funeral pyre Coaled and shivering life on fire Children slayed that night Such demonic might Death, nowhere to hide They cut out their eyes A blind mans’ map for fears to come Guide me, Heal me, Save me Under shimmering horizons Beyond fields of loss Where you and I tempt to find What was lost, so lost Try to find it, where I lost it

At the dawn of his life He found himself alone With no one by his side He tried to live just and right He took one step at a time Still fell down on his knees He cried For he heard darkness call But no one to see at all He prayed Beyond life Beyond Death The only place he had felt safe A presence drew near A deity he did not see nor hear What are you? He said with a trembling voice No answer came But where the candles Drew a shadow on the ground A warmth grew As the shadow Swallowed his own Like a predator Devouring his prey Panic struck It was in this moment In utter despair Dear mother Is it all on me? Dear mother Won’t you answer me? Dear mother Please tell me what to do? Dear mother Won’t you answer... All the deliverance I had Surrender into your heart And let me near beside you All the deliverance I had When life was gone Won’t you lay down beside Won’t you lay down beside My cold and lonely heart? Dear mother...

Legion 06:49
In disguise a dark tragedy cried out Mistaken for a higher calling It cried out I am Legion, for we are many Be my Love, Be my Father Be my God and I will be your Faith In the hands of his Faith he felt safe He laid to rest that night Haunting dreams that filled his heart And in fear he answered To their dark request To infest, To sow grim, To reap death Be all I wanted you to be And lead them into misery A beacon of infernal light Be all I needed you to be A shepherd to humanity A diabolical summoning Be my Love, Be my Father Be my God And I will grant them Death The next morning he went away With his sword at hand To embark on an unbearable quest To wrong the right And kill their first born sons To infest, To sow grim, To reap death Legion, Legion They used, abused Suffocated all Legion, Legion They crushed, they slayed They erased all Legion, Legion And with a blood thirst roar they cried For we are many We are all lying in a sick world don’t know what’s true don’t know the truth anymore We are all liars in a sick world don’t know what’s true don’t know the truth here anymore

Dawn Of my pain Doom In my name Dark Is my blood Death You pitiful putrid pest When the bonds are broken And all is lost It is then I plead my cause When the dark seems nigh So close to nightfall I will be the darkness at hand Darkness In solitude I wandered Aimless wanton swansong The sole claims Of my horrid life With so many wrongs to right I shall cast aside Your claims on death Rapture raining down on me As I stand upon the Ashes of my Sins I call upon the Gods I call forth Prometheus Blistering cold Burning flames The scorching tongue of pestilence The ascension of Prometheus Titan among Men

Torn Asunder 05:26
A butterfly defect Is twitching in my veins Cumulating to a deep red raging Flood of blood Torn asunder Coursing through the fields Racing through the trees Rampaging virgin soil Of a scrutinized race Wounded planet mourning In red deathbed morning light Raped aside Laid to waste Sodomized Torn Asunder A butterfly defect Is twitching in my veins Cumulating to a deep red raging Flood of blood Coursing through the fields Racing through the trees Rampaging virgin soil Of a scrutinized race Under red horizons Beyond the burning sun Lies a taunting question Can it be undone?

Pantheon 06:50
Enter faithful one Have you endured for me Enter lonesome one Have you survived The longest night When all is said and done Declare what you have done Is it all I asked Lies and deceit Betrayal and denial Have you come undone Come forward Lay down your arms Come forward Let down your guard All is well when you are with me Deliverance as pain has numbed Enter my embrace Bow down to me Feel my wrath Let hate corrupt your heart You are safe now Safe but doomed Within these walls Of my pantheon of woe Suffer by the hands of a God Swallowed by the arms of death Suffocate and burn in flames Perish on the Altar of Hell

A drapery of rose perfumed sunrise Enticed by the unruly dark mountain To show wafer thin glimpses of light The Closing chapters Of a blood drenched Elegy Where Evil lurked in crevice Dwelled in corners, hid in cracks Praying, prey sniffing for fear And a window to attack On these steep slopes Of tephra tumbling crumbling milestone Through the shrouded damps Of this sulfur scented succubus he arose Pyrrhic victor for the Furies feast As Thanatos devoured the Demon Which could not negate Such an innate sense of power and purpose Purity repulsing the weakness of flesh He encountered reason Defying ill-fated treason He was struggling for rhyme So as sunlight set on the shoulders And boulders of Gaia Her petrified torso shivered in fear To the horror of His vulgar acts Hephaestus, hear me! Sweet Aphrodite’s harlotry has been avenged I came down on him like Typhon And his progeny of monstrous offspring I hereby claim my prize Black hearted hammersmith of the Gods A Helmet, sword and shield Delved from the fires of the Abyss Beware, this is my Oath This I swear: Vengeance is coming for you! Your Mountain reign shall end For I will claim what is rightfully mine Beware, this is my Oath This I swear: Vengeance is coming for you! Your blood on my sword Your head in my hand Your lifeless carcass at my feet… Blood… Divine blood…
