Blackest night Bitter cold Haunted realm From stories old Frozen blood Hallowed bone Emptied flesh Sacred stone Behold The gateway to beyond Opened with a purpose And closing at the dawn Explore The spiritual dimension External aura force Surpasses comprehension Imbibe power beyond measure Unnerved by the unexpected pleasure Blackest night Bitter cold Haunted realm From stories old Frozen blood Hallowed bone Emptied flesh Sacred stone Oh yes I will become infinite Behold The gateway to beyond Opened with a purpose And closing at the dawn Explore The spiritual dimension External aura force Surpasses comprehension Imbibe power beyond measure Unnerved by the unexpected pleasure Oh yes I will become infinite All powerful All knowing Fear me and my wrath

Conjuring spells of power inconceivable Channeling the energies of hell Summoning with might, abominations of the universe Contorting them to serve my will Do as I bid Intoxicating lust for abyssal blackened magic Conducting rituals to slake my thirst The portal opens vast, my very essence starts to rupture Fragmented by those I chose to birth I am reborn Far beyond this realm The wizard chose a path From which there is no return His essence reduced To a subtle dust upon the wind The sacrificial blood of this beast begins the summoning Fragrancing the evil in the air The night is ripped asunder by a single crack of lightning As I purge my aura far beyond repair I am undone This selfish quest the end of me

Struggling to breathe I am smothered by the vague realities Of my own psychotic dream Who have I become Just a hollow shell Of my former self Void of all humanity I am a captive Of my unconscious mind Tossing and turning I'm eaten alive My inner self will arise In these dreams of horrible violence I am disgusted with myself And the sickening things I've done What have I become No longer man but a monster instead Where is the day I am drowning in horrors asleep in my bed Struggling to breathe I am smothered by the vague realities Of my own psychotic dream Who have I become Just a hollow shell Of my former self Void of all humanity I will destroy Everything beautiful I will destroy Everything in the world My inner self will arise In these dreams of horrible violence I am disgusted with myself And the sickening things I've done What have I become No longer man but a monster instead Where is the day I am drowning in horrors asleep in my bed Wake up No longer man but a monster instead Drowning in horrors, asleep in my bed I am corrupted by age old regret These twisted visions I can't forget I am dreaming of violence And I am dreaming of death

Slaughtered 03:28
Corpses, rotting flesh, piled high Consumed, by our fire, the smoke will fill the sky They walked, among the living A virus gave them life I'll cease their endless hunger With a thrust of my knife Father daughter Slaughtered alike Bullet through the skull And heads on a spike When there is No room left in hell The dead will walk The dead will walk the earth Searching, for shelter Some means to survive We're all infected Just waiting to die rise again Returned to walk the earth With hunger, unending How hellish our rebirth Humanity is no more Our will to survive Is the only thing left We'll try in vain To recreate the world Our efforts wasted This life is death

Blood will pour forth The demon's golden eyes Pan slowly over the landscape Taking in all there is to see It's talons clenched tight as It watches over the populace Thirsty for the blood yet to be It will feed upon us Strengthened by our very malice Waiting for the chance to hunt its prey We are the pitiful feast For this hell spawn Despite our futile efforts to pray Blood will pour From the demon's eyes As we are bathed in the fire of hate Feed me your hate Hell has come for us The end is nigh Repent no more True death arrives No one survives We have been doomed This is our fate Bathed in the fire of hate Blood will pour forth Risen from the depths With 7 horns and 7 eyes It has come for the very worst of man We can't stop We are fueling the fire That burns at the heart of its plan Unfurling wings of black The hellish beast takes flight The means by which we are consumed It's trifold jaws and forked tongue The constructs of our doom Blood will pour From the demon's eyes As we are bathed in the fire of hate Feed me your hate Hell has come for us The end is nigh Repent no more True death arrives No one survives We have been doomed This is our fate Bathed in the fire of hate

Neuropathologically designed To survive the data flux Myelinated axons Have evolved To support this divinatory Adaptation Prophesizing future In these cryptic sequences Electronic fibers channeling Ethereal Consciousness Lie awake and Dream for days and days and days Otherworldly sight into the future of mankind Prophesizing future with an evolved mind (Lie awake) Analyzing data being force fed to the brain Shouldering discomfort While struggling in vain Visions pouring forward From an uninvited source Evolution's wrought As nature takes its course Lie awake - dream for days Otherworldly sight into the future of mankind Prophesizing future with an evolved mind (Dream for days) Anesthetic journey Through worlds beyond our own Hallucinatory insight Into things that can't be known Drowning from the input Choking on the dreams This mind beyond evolved Is bursting at the seams Neuroprecognitive Anthropomorph

The time has come for our invasion The human race be no more This plan will be brought to fruition As the blood of man begins to pour From the sky Carefully conducted studies of your species Have given us reason for alarm You place no value on your planet With toxic breath you cause it permanent harm You will be eliminated with precision Torn from the bosom of your Mother Earth Stand up and receive your punishment You reap what you sow The time has come for our invasion The human race be no more This plan will be brought to fruition As the blood of man begins to pour From the sky Your parasitic population is a virus A plague upon the surface of this world Detrimental to your own survival Prepare for your matter to be unfurled You will be eliminated with precision Torn from the bosom of your Mother Earth Stand up and receive your punishment You reap what you sow

Death, come set me free My journey is over, My story complete I shall remove the cloak Most valued of hallows From crossing the brook 3 brothers, walking at night Crossing a river With magic, their guide 3 brothers, destined to die One chose to conquer Another to hide Death, let me be My brothers, you have taken But I will go free Saddened, by love lost The brother of grief He stole back his loved ones From death like a thief Hallowed, they returned But not without cost Unfit for this world Their souls had been lost Maddened, by power The brother of pride He conquered them all Till his midnight demise Boasting and bragging A relentless gloat His life ended quick As the knife slit his throat

Arise Lift your head my child Open your eyes to the possibilities of your power Given the chance you discard and ignore what you've worked for Toeing the line between mortal and gods, we are mankind Now it is time for the worship to end, deny a creator No false idols! Why must we be force fed falsities? Why do we seek assurance of purpose? We are godless! This is the dawn of a new age of man We must progress Pushing beyond our childish fears Genesis ascension Forging a future without hesitation Scientific discovery Casting aside all feelings of guilt There is no god No false idols! Why must we be force fed falsities? Why do we seek assurance of purpose? We must break free from the shackles of faith Knowledge is power Hiding behind their cloaks of unknowns Fear is a weapon Used to control the masses and push Their own agenda Now it is time for the people to rise Godless we prevail No false idols! Why must we be force fed falsities? Why do we seek assurance of purpose?
