Somerset 03:45
Dying gods in a vacuum of space Another victim of this time continuance None other than the delusion, the revenant How many stars have to die Before perceived existence is wiped clean Purification will come in form of perpetual sleep Eye in the sky fall, why don’t you try I stand by, fall, cry and watch As exodus awaits us Transmigrate into walking comas We become the gods within tombs ensanguined Eye in the sky fall, why don’t you try I stand by, fall, cry and watch you Die in the sky, fall, why don’t you try I stand by, fall, cry and watch you die I wake to find this infinite design is my final failure My past is always with me through the ages I watched you tear yourself apart From afar it was the most beautiful sight Decipher the encryptions of a decaying mind Eye in the sky fall, why don’t you try I stand by, fall, cry and watch you Die in the sky, fall, why don’t you try I stand by, fall, cry and watch you From afar it was the most beautiful sight I’m walking away leaving this world behind

Laid upon this pyre Foreshadowing absolutions arrival Judgments from the surrounding gravity The black holes that are our minds consume everything We will not be exonerated of our guilt Gazing into the whirlpool of those branded hollow Let it all burn This wasn’t ours to hold to begin with Forever they, they will go unforgiven Unforgiven Blackened sky, never ending ash rain Laid upon this pyre Inherit this despoiled burial Seeping through the soil I feel the weakness Foreshadowing absolutions arrival They pray to be absolved Gazing into the whirlpool of those branded hollow Let it all burn This wasn’t ours to hold to begin with forever they, they will go unforgiven Unforgiven Gazing into the whirlpool of those branded hollow Let it all burn This wasn’t ours to hold to begin with Forever they, they will go unforgiven Unforgiven The pinnacle, the beacon of light We’ve crushed in the wake of elation What more can we hope for in dire times The death of hope is all we have

Pale Horse 03:11
Life has been your imprisonment Death is the only release Sunless worlds know all too well The will of the purveyor of despair The morose gods shan’t intervene To save what is already lost There will be no warning There will be no fucking time for you to run away There will be no burial No obituary Dissipate and fate away All life upon this forsaken world Will witness the horror Of kinetic bombardment The cataclysm they face There won’t be a light They will not mourn for you Bestowed the cold hands of impunity A supreme being Divine retribution is descending upon me So far gone Repudiated entirely You’ll find forgiveness in death But they will not mourn for you I would let billions die To rid this place of disease I would let billions die To rid this place of one infectious seed You instead of me

Elysian 05:22
We are sentenced to the stars With smirking hope and a face full of scars We run reckless divine course to the church of remorse From faith we divorce And we rage for days and days Cause’ we thought if we screw we’d get through and sway Forget the things we say and the lines we rehearsed Our empty hearse Cause’ the years they take dreams away That we plot and we try to make true some day Regret the things we say and the fields we traverse Blue neck curse Stare at me with the broken face of the moon The light of the stars glow with such saturnine The wind speaks in strange languages Which only those who know will understand The broken face of the moon graces me with its presence This ritual has gone on far too long and I’m ready to see I have wandered this holy sanctum And there is nothing to be found What a foolish notion to put yourself In such careless hands By what right do you have to take this from me Time will come and this will pass Until frost is all that remains Show me what lies beneath And I’ll give your title to every star I gaze upon Eternally with me in a tomb of space

Seek Misery 03:00
I walk the passage to salvation Where others tremble In the wake of revivification Cause’ I have reached the end of what this world has to offer This plane so obscene, I have found my place off the face of this earth Cause’ “sanity is for the weak” I have offered the key to absolution Still you seek misery Our prosperity awaits us in the ground Grotesque orisons flood the universe I left it behind but Still seek misery I have brought you back But still you condemn me I walk the passage to salvation Where others tremble In the wake of revivification Cause’ I have reached the end of what this world has to offer This plane so obscene, I have found my place off the face of this earth Cause’ “sanity is for the weak”

Perdition 04:41
You said you would come back for me And I’ll wait an eternity more You swore to bring me back But our sequence was all out of line Drifting amongst the company of dust We don’t coincide in unity I can’t become just another note on this page Waiting for my chance to illuminate So terribly out of reach An eternity alone I’ll wait for an eternity more You said you would come back for me And I’ll wait for an eternity more You told me to leave what’s buried in the ground Never to resurface Will the universe even notice Will the absence of life be felt I can’t become just another imperfection In this image you’ve painted In this pyschodrome you’ve created I chose the kiss of death over the essence of the cosmos Leave what’s buried in the ground Only leaving remnants of my mind Play your song of death and send me to sleep To sleep I could never repay you Time after time of hearing you sing In my dreams I see it so clearly We’re forever doomed to re-enact our failures If you leave me here I’ll be crushed Under the weight, under the weight of regret An eternity alone I’ll wait for an eternity more You said you would come back for me And I’ll sit and watch and wait for an eternity more An eternity alone You swore to bring me back But our sequence was all out line Drifting amongst the company of dust We don’t coincide in unity Even if I found my culmination Would it even be enough Even if I clawed my way to the surface Would I even reach it in time

Intrinsic rebirth, born under a black sun We chiselled the words of god Into our foundations for aeons to come Till’ we ourselves become ancients If not remembered everything will mourn So that we shall return to the tombs of which we came Isolated within stone and a chronological grave Counsel us for we heed these words These prophetic dreams Everything will mourn We beckon what’s to come Another timeless cycle As the eternal night approaches When it’s over we won’t see the end Not in our lifetime or nor theirs Slept through the times we are lost once again We beg of thee brethren unveil our eyes I have seen the edge of the world I have seen the divinity That keeps a fire inside As we are born into perpetual night When it’s over we won’t see the end Not in our lifetime or nor theirs Slept through the times we are lost once again We beg of thee brethren unveil our eyes

God Particle 03:26
Our heresy forever stained into this blood red galaxy The hunger it creates cannot be satisfied Time doesn’t remember nor do gods forget No respite, our tranquillity has been denied Do you really think this is the only body you’ll come to know Experiencing my self in reflections I’ve never seen before Locked within this gulf of time with no means to redeem My purity lies beyond this withered realm Eternity cannot wait to take me Not of my image not of theirs My fears manifold, tell me will they watch over me The ultimate fate unfolds, as they direct my movement Lead me towards the blinding light Incomprehensible imagery The body fails to embrace this blessing I see the coming shadow the path of cosmic steps Bridge the gap between the lunacy I’ve afflicted And my withered mind Pestilence breather you bring forth heretical ideologies Eternity cannot wait to take me Infect all feed of the rotting body of hope Our heresy forever stained into this blood red galaxy Do you really think this is the only body you’ll come to know Experiencing my self in reflections I’ve never seen before Locked within this gulf of time with no means to redeem My purity lies beyond this withered realm

Where do you get the nerve to speak on behalf of those chained to heavens Faith has never been sufficient enough to carry this on Take me I’m ready, tear me apart If death is what you seek no one can it away from you What you perceive to be real can only survive Inside a damaged mind The frost is so inviting, seeking eldritch light Being held within feel the essence of the bitter end If I’m denied the right To hold this world in my hands And I’ll hold it accountable and squeeze the hope out of them As they have done to me Succumb body, mind and soul The reaping of the crop As they have done to me If death is what you seek no one can it away from you What you perceive to be real can only survive Inside a damaged mind The frost is so inviting, seeking eldritch light Being held within feel the essence of the bitter end We saw it written in the stars beckoning us forward Restricted by the burden of physical boundaries Not even deities escape inevitability Can you feel the impending wraith If I’m denied the right to hold this world in my hands As their souls are forged into the ever blinding abyss We had within our grasp, we let it slip away In the wake of rapture The reckoning came in floods Of intangible occurrences The sky will open wide Pouring down The guilt we feel Will outlast our children Destined to return to the dirt of which we sunk into The grains of time keep falling

i Nyx 02:40
This world doesn’t stand a chance As the ash cloud approaches I have a backseat to this theatrical array (Nuclear winter) A gift from gods past We are naught, we are dust in the wind (I have seen the light) Seen the light at the end of the tunnel Extinguished to nihil

ii Erebus 04:54
I haven’t seen a form None worthy of the gift, the gift of life It won’t be too long, ‘til our true faces come to show Gaze upon the wreckage you seek, fuck the meek Who abide to ancient words Let this fill you, praise thee This wound for all prying eyes to see What have they done to you I left myself embedded in those Who reflect my repugnant image Is it so obscene to star At the abyss of the forerunner An untold time lapse Of creation and failure I am the rotting star you once gazed upon After all I’ve done for you, you despise me Wraith will reign down upon this planet I haven’t seen a form None worthy of the gift, the gift of life It won’t be too long, ‘til our true faces come to show Gaze upon the wreckage you seek, fuck the meek Who abide to ancient words Let this fill you, praise thee This wound for all prying eyes to see Genuflect to a god of obsidian In the coming moments I feel the end It beckons me forth into the light The truth die within me How could I abandon my children How could they abandon me Within this shell my failures are always with me I can feel the entirety of my soul burning I haven’t seen a form None worthy of the gift, the gift of life It won’t be too long, until our true faces come to show Gaze upon the wreckage you seek, fuck the meek Who abide to ancient words Let this fill you, praise thee This wound for all prying eyes to see

Status Cross 02:12
She got that cold-eyed stare with permanent fixture Snorting lines we throw out and don't sing She smiles and politely says, "today there's no rapture It's the end, and your bells, they don't ring" As my blood runs cold and turns to dust In the end even the gods will abandon us "Don't let me sail into my black hole, messiah Please let me find my heaven, my king" She laughs and says, "Son, I'm the denier, It's the end, and your bells, they don't ring" As my heart grows old and turns to rust In the end even death will reject us

Tiberian Sun 03:20
Bathed in the light of borrowed life We cling to hope in a hopeless time The voices of the non-existent Will echo through the infinite The voyager came in the gift of famine In the guise of an offering A millennia will pass and only sand will remain This world will crumble in ignominy Looked down upon in disdain from the heavens We are no longer instruments of their will In the end even the gods will abandon us Time is the decrepit mistress drenched in regret The dead stars don’t speak of a foreseeable future We leave nothing but a carrion mess Ailing forward at the gates, we find we have been denied In the end even death will reject us
