Silent in the dead of night
Death draws near where six black horses ride
Head in hand, held up high
Where the horseman stops a mortal shall die
Cower behind your gates in fear
An omen of death, your end draws near
Scream, cry, pray and yell
Nothing can save you from this hell
Bone whip of human spine
Lashes out the curious eye
Beware those who stare at the deeds of the dead
Be marked in blood and off with your head
A mouth frozen in a terrifying grin
Calls your name from the glowing phosphorous of decay
Take your final breath
Before the ancient embodiment of death
Cower behind your gates in fear
An omen of death, your end draws near
Scream, cry, pray and yell
Nothing can save you from this hell

End of Days
04:18
|

Life’s a fragile virus, clinging to a speck of mud
Suspended in endless nothingness
Reveal our inner sickness for all to see
All shall soon cease to be
The human race is a fucking disgrace
Eaten up by pride and vanity
All the jealousy, hate and insanity
Indoctrinated beliefs, none of us are free
Borrowed time in a borrowed world
And borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it
In the last and dreadful hour
All of humanity will cower
No trumpets to be heard up high
The dead shall live, and the living die
Screams untune the blackened sky
As the entire frame of nature break
Into ruin and confusion hurled
Destruction all around
Stand amidst this dying world
Sheets of fire sweeping the world black
No redemption, no turning back
The end of all unfolds
The graves and pits of a billion dying souls
Hell raining from the skies
Hear the helpless cries
Screaming and shouting in vain
Until none but dying echoes remain
The last bitter hours of cruelty and sorrow
No gods or preachers left here to follow
Ashes in the wind start to fall
Death’s great domination over us all
Rain will wash away what’s left of a sad, dying story
Last reflections that will fade in the light of the morning
The buildings are the last to crumble to the ground
Gravestones of an entire world, no movement or sound
Ancient creeks run bare among burned trees, rocks and stones
Souls of the dead lost between dry skulls and cracked bones

The Fractured Race
05:11
|

Here we are in our dying shell of existence
Not yet lived and nothing learned
So arrogant to assume our own intelligence
As we repeat the same mistakes over and over again
Holding on to the hope of perfection
The more we have the more we want
Reaching for the stars but we’ll never have it all
Crawling closer to our eventual downfall
Told to believe such absurdities
Making us commit these atrocities
Religion the fuel and fire that burned the witch
Now all that prevents the poor from killing the rich
We are the fractured race
Murder, starvation, torture and rape
Times may change but people remain the same
Vengeful time bombs covered in wounds and sores
Treated with the sacrificial rites of war
All the pain we cause and time we waste
Humanity, the fractured race
To assume the universe was designed with humanity in mind
So arrogant, so stupid, so blind
The story of our past and future remain the same
An oblivious humanity slowly withers away
Taught to believe little lies since we’re born
To later believe the greater ones of the world
Justice, religion and equality
Adapted to comply with human greed
Murder, starvation, torture and rape
Times may change but people remain the same
Vengeful time bombs covered in wounds and sores
Treated with the sacrificial rites of war
All the pain we cause and time we waste
Humanity, the fractured race

War Bound

A spectre of vengeance moving like a virus
Fulfilling society's primeval need
To judge and punish its worst transgressors
Destroy the disease
Turn away from the light and step into the darkness
The blackest night at the heart of the soul
Terrifying embodiment of justice
Come back to haunt us all
War bound!
Look into the eyes of anger
I know you can see his rage
but can you feel his fear?
Red mists descend to cloud his mind
The path now clear
Turn away from the light and step into the darkness
The blackest night at the heart of the soul
Terrifying embodiment of justice
Come back to haunt us all
War bound!
Burning vengeance fuelled by hate
The judged will meet their fate
Crimson will sparkle in the glory of the sun
Rivers of red flow from the foolish ones

The Unravelling
03:54

Great evils lurk in the foolishness of the human mind
Simple addictions make us who we are
Forced to live inside your head
Wanting what you want, knowing it would be your end
Will the removal of destructive sins
Useless game you cannot win
See the person that once was whole
Vain and glorious downfall
Behold the bitten apple
Succumb to your atrocity
Destroy yourself to find the secret in the ruins
Finger on the trigger of self-destruct
Internal struggle all that remains
A pawn in your own pathetic fucking game
Burn your world black with your wicked hands
Breed the intolerance of "self"
Scar your soul, pretend there is none
Until all that holds you come undone
Will the removal of destructive sins
Useless game you cannot win
See the person that once was whole
Vain and glorious downfall
Behold the bitten apple
Succumb to your atrocity
Deepening cuts that never bled
Waste your days dying in your head
Disappear into madness that make and unmake
Haunting memories of your own mistakes
Now on the brink, no more will
There is little left to kill!

Victims behind invisible walls of oppression
We don’t think, we’re conditioned to believe
Controlled mental repression
A raped system spreading the infection
Patriotism a product of successful indoctrination
Breathe the deception
Systematic social regression
Blind to the illusion
Free to live ignorant and blind
Bullshit fed into every mind
Generations of indoctrinated sheep
Feeding the corrupt media machine
Break the shackles and reach out to your freedom
Fight the oppression!
Break to pieces the lies that keep you imprisoned
Destroy their illusion
Governments pillage and violate under cover of law, spreading ideology through manipulation and war
Information controlled for truth free for all isn’t practical for those wishing to maintain control
A Nation tied to history, bonds of suffering
Ripping off past scabs of fear and hate
More bloodstains on the hands of fate
Stunt the life, cripple the growth
Politicised from the moment of birth
Through lies and propaganda corrupted
Society de-constructed
The wicked leading the blind
Ensuring an ignorant, serving state
Nefarious interests behind the scenes
Bringing a nation to its knees
War & peace a blurry line as we march towards self-destruction
A brainwashed nation stained with corruption
The doors of democracy are closing down
Imperilled by mass-produced ignorance
Coexistence with dull group mentality
Adapted to the rhythm of dependency
Assaulting the equality of community
Abuse of the organs of state
A long overdue revolution
No longer will we sit and wait!
A Nation tied to history, bonds of suffering
Ripping off past scabs of fear and hate
More bloodstains on the hands of fate
Stunt the life, cripple the growth
Politicised from the moment of birth
Through lies and propaganda corrupted
Society de-constructed

Illuminati

You deem yourself elite, enlightened
Controllers of the frightened
Those cowards, empowered
Will leave this world devoured
Mistrust and blood lust
Our faith has turned to dust
How can we have the truth be told?
Popes and priests keep the faithful as slaves
As world leaders rush us blindly to our graves
The eye of Horus, blind as its beholders
Blood of betrayers, fill the thirteen layers
With deceit as your vision
The root of religion
You have us wage holy wars
Making the world slowly yours
Why does humanity fight?
For a cause hidden from sight?
How can we bring the lies to light?
Popes and priests keep the faithful as slaves
As world leaders rush us blindly to our graves
The eye of Horus, blind as its beholders
Blood of betrayers, fill the thirteen layers
All your evils forgotten
as the world now lies rotten
We’re doomed to live in this wasteland
Brought upon us by your hand
The success of your oath
has killed humanity's growth
Now we pray for the end
Popes and priests keep the faithful as slaves
As world leaders rush us blindly to our graves
The eye of Horus, blind as its beholders
Blood of betrayers, fill the thirteen layers

Lord of Pain
03:16

Just a bit of your flesh and I could show you pain
Embrace what was always meant to be
Glorious suffering to sweep you away
to an inhuman world of terror and decay
Like insects they crawl and breed
See them suffer, see them bleed
Savour the euphoric calm of release
as another consciousness starts to cease
Accept this offering of blood and pain I sell
Join the madness and find excruciating hell
I am your monster; I am your fallen angel
The master of cruelty revels in violence
Lose yourself in a labyrinth of bloody illusions
Frenzied victims of vulnerable flesh
What a tangible thrill.
What a mess…
Your eyes wide open but not ready to die
In death there is no agony, no scream, no cry
In this time that should last forever
Hope fades and you start to weep and shiver
A supply of never-ending pain
surely in time I should sicken of this game
Thoughts to destroy this pathetic human race
a passionless smile on a bloodstained face
Accept this offering of blood and pain I sell
Join the darkness and find excruciating hell
I am your monster; I am pure evil unveiled
Go mad before the last embers of daylight fades away
Hypnotized by a hell greater than pain
To cure you of this disease called life
Despicable, lawless, waste of time
