Sic Semper Tyrannis
03:47
|
|||
Chorus
An endless nightmare pulsing through my carapace
Its aching rhythm captivating my attention
Like moths before a flame, you dance in the abyss
This wearisome revel of blood and semen
Will be ash upon the heap after my fire burns down to embers
My legacy shall be writ in carnage
Don the armour of a ‘god’
So that you may withstand the designs of a Devil.
Verse 1
Immortal rites to the unknown
To cleanse yourselves; to purify
Vile, filthy, malicious
Advance yourselves before others
Bite and claw, and rake and maul
Through the gates of paradise
Verse 2
Disgusting acts of reverence
Prayers answered with silence
Dull displays of confidence
Hallucinations born of sin
Verse 3
Daily rapture, a fool’s errand
Deeds of holy decadence
You scheme, you scowl
Intrigue and glower
Before the gates of paradise
Bridge 1
Mortem oppetere
Sic semper tyrannis x2
Bridge 2
Abase yourself before me
Let me sink my talons deep into your mind
Abase yourself before me
Let me show you the true meaning of ‘divine’.
Chorus
An endless nightmare pulsing through my carapace
Its aching rhythm captivating my attention
Like moths to a flame, you dance in the abyss
My legacy shall be writ…
My legacy shall be writ in carnage

Brotherhood Of Man
03:53
|

Verse 1
I pity all, I pity all
Those cretinous beings without a soul
I pity all, I pity all
Those wretched hearts that I can’t call:
Gilded scallywags
Glorious bastards
Gentlemen scoundrels
Genuine bilge-rats x2
Brothers.
Chorus
Brotherhood of man
Scum wolfpack
Take what you can
Give nothing back
Un pour tous
Tous pour un
Je ne veux pas des sous
Je veux le monde
Verse 2
Pour a glass, pour a glass
For those who drink damnation
Pour a glass, pour a glass
For those I call:
Gilded scallywags
Glorious bastards
Gentlemen scoundrels
Genuine bilge-rats x2
Brothers.
Bridge
Damnation take my soul
If I give you quarters
Or take any from you
Verse 3
In a world without gold
We might have been heroes
Hang all, hang all
Except those sorry souls I call:
Gilded scallywags
Glorious bastards
Gentlemen scoundrels
Genuine bilge-rats x2
Brothers.

Verse 1
Bastard! I’ll have your head.
For my rage knows no bounds
For my hatred runs fuck deep
For my fury burns endlessly
For my anger seethes within the molten core of my being
An ache that cannot be soothed
A pain which cannot be removed
Chorus
Your cruelty to my people is all I know
The ice is thin but I shall be under it
You drain our lands, you leech; you fucking parasite
This is my decree; my final oath:
“May pestilence paint your cities black,
May the flames consume you forever
May your bones be exhumed from ancestral lands
May the spirits of the past haunt your future”.
My final oath x 4
Verse 2
Coward! I’ll take your neck.
Devour whole your puny form
No trace left to be found
Your carcass is now ours to pick clean
We are not one; we are many
Legions upon legions
Your progenies shall wither and fester
As your people rot, I leer with glee.
Rep. Chorus.

Verse 1
Serrate thy cross before mine eyes,
Heaven’s peaks falling from the skies.
Chasms rupturing below my feet,
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Verse 2
Maggots grown in a baby’s eye.
Unending denial, countless lies.
Stagnation and decay in all that I see,
Thou who exploits and benefits, abide with me.
Verse 3
Holy veils drawn o’er unspeakable crimes.
Men of the cloth;
None so vile.
To be amongst your flock I’d rather slit my throat, you see,
Than abide with thee
Rep. Verse 2
Chorus
Abide with me x4

Talisman
04:12
|
|||
Verse 1
Lost deep within a dream,
A coruscating shower of life.
The origin of all that was and all will ever be.
To protect is to give is to be.
I swear my allegiance to the No-God,
And daub myself in ichor.
An ancient citadel marred by the sands of time,
An hourglass cracked below the rubble.
Chorus
Our stronghold must hold fast,
Fore’er in doubtless memory.
Natura non constristatur,
Non timebo malum x 2
Verse 2
My vessel is empty;
A shattered decanter.
Talisman to the sky as I scream, “I! I! I! I!”
Verse 3
I am the apocalypse; I decide the fate of the lost.
Ascend the ziggurat with the chosen delegate.
Ceremonial dagger; mythical kris-knife.
Primordial ritual; token of a past life (token of a past life).
His lifeblood shall cascade down our steps,
And provide sustenance for our new dawn.
Gouge my eyes out to see more clearly,
Those luminescent silhouettes.
Bridge
Of eldritch horror
Leviathan! x4
Verse 4
Dutiful acolyte, blind believer.
Weep in ecstasy as I skullfuck your submission.
Skies rent asunder.
Claw your skin,
Cut out your tongue to form the signs of your devotion.
Antediluvian;
Accursed sacrament.
Testament from ‘neath the depths.
Draw back the firmament
Chorus repeat

Fall From Grace
04:11
|
|||
Verse 1
I am the sheep that got lost;
I am the lamb led to the slaughter.
Be overcome by evil and be undone by good.
There’s such a thing as a righteous kill;
It takes a wolf to protect the sheep from other wolves.
Pre-Chorus
Fall from grace,
With the delight of the Gods x2
Chorus
No words have I hidden in mine heart,
That I may fight against thee x2
Repeat Ch.
Verse 2
Salvation is found nowhere.
Redemption is found now here.
For there is no name under heaven,
By which we can be saved.
Post-Chorus
Let sin reign in your mortal body,
And obey its desires x2
Repeat V.2

Ten Thousand
04:26
|

Verse 1
When we stop fucking bowing
They will cease to rule.
When the whips are cast into the river
The slave ceases to serve.
Bridge 1
What was taken will be regained
Verse 2
When my enemies are in their graves
(Or cross their hearts and wish that they were!)
My eyes will darken in their cavities
My soul shall pass from this earth
Bridge 2
What was slain shall be avenged
Refrain
“What counts is tomorrow and every tomorrow after
Yesterday is dead; past mistakes like smoke in the breeze”
Nah!
Chorus
Ten thousand cunts versus me
One by one, I’ll cut them down
Only the dead can match my icy gaze
Verse 3
Your heart is shrill; your soul is plain.
You have not the iron to call yourself ‘brother’
You’ll cry for your father then for your mother
Screaming their filthy names
Bridge 3
What was stolen will be returned
Refrain repeat.
Chorus repeat.

Echoes In Eternity
04:32
|
|||
Verse 1
These gifts of light and pleasure
Ease nothing of the ache in my chest.
Crepuscular downpour
Distinct profound darkness.
Refrain
I dare not deign to pay the ferryman on my passage
Chorus
What we do in life echoes in eternity
What is lost in death is Man's great mystery
Verse 2
Born of fire and malice
My heart aches for the abyss
Its eternal lament
Layers upon layers
Depths upon depths
My will be done
Thou will be erased
rep. chorus

Verse 1
Running in circles,
There’s nothing inspiring.
Your ego, so deadly, so livid; inviting.
A frenzy, a madness; unending, pretending.
An aching, a throbbing; a brutal redemption
Verse 2
Waking from this nightmare.
Then, into another
An infant abandoned by its absent mother.
None of my wishes, I’ll never fulfil them.
I’m just a pathetic, worthless shit of a man.
Chorus
Yearn for the knife x2
The silent child gazes at the broken nest
A broken man gazes silently, obsessed.
Verse 3
The longer that you leave it,
The harder the act gets.
Forego your conscience as you sign the dotted line:
Oblivion

Vincit qui se vincit x2
