The endless black reflects my hopes, starless, heavens blind No light here – my eyes are shut – fallen now My shattered body - impaled on hate Circled by vultures and jackals - waiting for my fall I vomit your promises, mucus and bile Maniacal nemesis rising in plague I’ll Eclipse your love be a Black Sun Live up to your challenge – deceiver I am Show them your true face, behind your mask Your serpents smile, your deadly embrace Vampirical ways, feeding from them Sustain your lies – your greatest creation I speak in tongues, callous and cold Or that’s what he’d have you believe Suckle on his poison, army of hatred They are born as legion – suffering hell Fire – blinding truth – I’ll bring to you Bearer of light – this prison is your earth Rise up in anger – bind him in thorns Bury him silently – a martyr, no more I vomit your promises, mucus and bile Maniacal nemesis rising in plague I’ll Eclipse your love be a Black Sun Live up to your challenge – deceiver I am Show them your true face, behind your mask Your serpents smile, your deadly embrace Vampirical ways, feeding from them Sustain your lies – your greatest creation Release the weight holding you down Breathe in the air The snake in your belly has finally gone The guilt of two thousand years
2.	Veil of Tears 04:59	lyrics	buy track
Engulfed by sadness, adrift in despair Longing for the end Knee deep in human filth I can’t see beyond my veil of tears Blinded by my refusal to accept Everyone is dead to me, empty bags of bones Stinking carcasses with no soul, wondering alone Searching for atonement, crying out for a guiding light But darkness is my cloak, my only hope A hopeless cause, a hopeless cause There must be salvation away from here Don’t tell me it is god - for he is dead No one and nothing can save me now A hard realisation to grasp I must look to within for my place to survive Make my own way and move on For I am an oak rooted in the earth Blown by unforgiving winds These winds make me stronger as time passes by I watch, I wait, I learn Just pass on by Wipe away your veil of tears Wipe away your veil of tears Everyone is dead to me, empty bags of bones Stinking carcasses with no soul, wondering alone There must be salvation away from here Don’t tell me it is god - for he is dead No one and nothing can save me now Save me now Save me now I must look to within for my place to survive Make my own way and move on

I am undone, a weak-minded fool, How could I let you down I am a worm, naked before you, infested with lies I’ll come to you – arms outstretched – pleading for your love Atone for my sins, you give me grace Wind me back like a coiled spring, caught in this trap, it gives me meaning I’ll do it again and you’ll keep on forgiving My place at your side is assured; I’ll be your lapdog Wipe the blood from my hands and kiss me on the cheek There are legions of us, who come to you, begging for your mercy And you’ll grant it of course - no questions asked Our eternal excuse Your symbol, my shield, do as I will A wave of your hand and we are clean again Carving my way through the unclean I will decide want is right and wrong - and you will agree ‘Farther forgive me, I’ve done it again’ ‘Don’t worry child, I will absolve you’ You are in me now, see through my eyes, guiding my hand Hand in hand we walk; I hear your thoughts, Follow your whim, covered in sin, A glint in our eye All will die All will die There are legions of us, who come to you, begging for your mercy And you’ll grant it of course - no questions asked Your symbol, my shield, do as I will A wave of your hand and we are clean again
4.	An Empire In Ruins 06:31	lyrics	buy track
Looked upon with envious eyes, our shining places, symbols of power A new age dawns, leaving memories lost, control through fear Power over all men Our standards raised high in the breeze Our faces in shadow. out of your reach Do as we tell you, we conquer all, March over the weak, bring tyranny We know your name; you are bound in chains, grovelling and weak We feast on your sorrow, gloat at your pain, kings on our thrones A day will come when all this will end – but out time is now Those before us know our fate, but they are forgotten Centuries pass, our twilight years, is this the end? New kings arise – our time has gone An empire in ruins – all that we were is fading away It cannot be; we are the chosen, forsaken now Our crumbling walls, our standards long torn, Forced from our homes, kicked out in the street Ragged and broken! Nothing is left now, a few piles of stone beneath the trees We are forgotten as those before us always knew We knew your name, your were bound in chains, grovelling and weak Kings on our thrones, we were once rulers of all Our empire in ruins, our children are dead Now we are naught, nothing is left
5.	Ascension 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Dreaming of another place, somewhere far from here Castle in the clouds, away from all Locked up in an ivory tower Withdraw, Withdraw, Withdraw This will be a better place for us all A Garden of Eden, from that fairytale book A life worth living, a place worth giving Somewhere to cherish, our place in the sun We shall evolve from our fragile hopes Move on from selfish pride Murder our egos, look back and laugh People wake up - something is coming Material want is destroying us all Ego is fuelling the fires of greed Ascension into purity The cosmos awaiting us Wake us from our eternal sleep Dreaming of another place, somewhere far from here Castle in the clouds, away from all Locked up in an ivory tower Withdraw, Withdraw, Withdraw This will be a better place for us all An emptying land is all that is left behind Only the blind shall remain Believing they are blessed as they scrabble in the dirt Fighting for the baggage – we’ve left behind Rise up to new heights together as one Beings of light we ascend Leave our withered husks forgotten evermore Never to return to the darkening lands
6.	Elements 04:40	lyrics	buy track
A maelstrom of chaos, nebulous form From nothing – a void, a universe born All that we know and all that we don’t Explodes into life in the blink of an eye A birthplace of stars – planets of fire Forces unknown – creating lost worlds Ours is but one in unending dark We think we are chosen – but we are alone A chemical joke – that’s all we are Nothing more – no higher power Pure chance we live – we think its more Our self importance blinding us Random elements fused in time Creates us – a virus spawn Quarantine Earth - stop the spread We consume all and leave it dead There is beauty here but it’s fading fast Like a suffocating child scratching at glass We walk on past and watch it die Chasing our tails until we expire A chemical joke – that’s all we are Nothing more – no higher power Pure chance we live – we think its more Our self importance blinding us
7.	The Killing Call 04:56	lyrics	buy track
In your time here have you learnt nothing? Your eyes sewn shut From your unfortunate birth Your time here was for naught You breathe my air Absorb my Light An ever burning fire You are nothing to me You are everywhere, a suffocating vileness Eating the young But I am watching you And I shall strike you down You worthless fuck I watch you writhe before me Crawl on your belly like the worm you are Be on your knees forever-more The killing call, my only friend My salvation through blood Darkness swallows me I am gods’ vengeance reborn The killing call, my only friend Turn to stone as I meet your gaze The tables turned, I’ll make you pay A bag of human bones A wretched creature I spit at your existence I’ll split your spine and curse you evermore
8.	The Death of Silence 06:10	lyrics	buy track
Before we awoke, all was at peace, a balance secure Eden Incarnate, a pure way of living, serenity’s home No malice here, no envy or greed, a wondrous place Came to an end, footprints in the sand, weapons are made Cold eyes open, fixed straight ahead Butcher our prey; take what we want until nothing is left Tranquillity murdered so early on Spread like a virus conquering lands, unstoppable now War is our plaything, hate and deceit We’ll shout you down – we’re stronger than you – we’ll just walk on through Brush you aside, it’s them or us It is ours and they’ll die, leave them behind, driven into the dirt We all stand on islands, facing each other, weapons drawn ‘Do not step here - we’ll strike you down – blood will be spilt’ The death of silence – mourn eden’s end Time marches on, we find new ways to kill, we now kill our own Egos and want are fuelling the fire, we are alone Killing for gods that don’t even exist, stupidity reigns Lost in our own selves, to far gone, when will it end Cold eyes open, fixed straight ahead Butcher our prey; take what we want until nothing is left Tranquillity murdered so early on Spread like a virus conquering lands, unstoppable now War is our plaything, hate and deceit We’ll strike you down – we’re stronger than you – we’ll just walk on through Brush you aside, it’s them or us It is ours and they’ll die, leave them behind, driven into the dirt One day it will all end, we turn on ourselves, all is consumed The noise dies down, bird song erupts Back into eden the earth will go - silent again The death of silence – mourn eden’s end
9.	Head of Clay 06:00	lyrics	buy track
Who are you? – You’re not who you think you are A pawn in a game with a stalemate end Look - in the - mirror I’ll be staring you in the face But you see what you want to - bury your head Knocked to the ground - with a smile on your face Our hands around your throat Hooked on a lie - force fed from birth Manipulated - a need to belong Your head of clay – moulded by us Do as we say – it’s all that you know You’ll draw your last breath believing our lies Safe in the knowledge you did the right thing But - you - are wrong And we laugh in your face Another life used for our selfish greed Choke! There are mountains of dead, discarded by us All those here now will join them Every heartbeat is ours we are calling your name You cannot escape - there is nowhere to run Your head of clay – moulded by us Do as we say – it’s all that you know
10.	Prophet and Loss 05:42	lyrics	buy track
Your fragile minds are his clay Forced into a mould - ‘do as I say!’ An iron leash around your neck Dragged behind like headless dolls - You are fucking weak Give me your lives and all you own - Enjoy your suffering I will devour you and leave you to drown - In misery A twisted truth forgotten now - For all eternity Come to me my lost flock Stand in my shadow, serve me now, Be my slaves don’t look behind, you may see the knife in your back The knife in your back I discard you as I see fit and you accept it as my will You cannot touch me, you are my toys You are nothing to me – but still you come crawling Your prophet and loss – give in to me Your prophet and loss – give in to me I’ll strip you down to the core, your family next Nothing is sacred to me Bend all to my will My mannequins Kneel before me you fucking worms!! I absorb your fleshless heart, I manipulate your life A king on a throne in a field of bones I discard you as I see fit and you accept it as my will You cannot touch me, you are my toys You are nothing to me – but still you come crawling Your prophet and loss – give in to me Your prophet and loss – give in to me
11.	The Splintered Shield 05:11	lyrics	buy track
Once proud and strong - a warrior born Thrust into the world - a will of iron, unbending Ignorant and true - superior to all Safe in a cage - laughing at those who know nothing At war with the world - my words as my sword My heart as my shield - deflecting the blows The insipid truth arrives at my door Slowly prising the bars of my cage apart Our kin lay silent where they fall March on through all and welcome your end No words we speak - our hearts are one Our hearts of stone beat not Eyes widening now - its sickening breath down my neck I steel myself against the coming storm My once keen edged sword is rusting and blunt My shield raised high against the constant attack Appearing through the mist a horde of deadened souls Coal black eyes and age old scars tell tales of war and woe Once proud and strong - a warrior born Thrust into the world - a will of iron, unbending My splintered shield falls to the ground Your poisoned blade - in my heart Our kin lay silent where they fall March on through all and welcome your end No words we speak, our hearts as one Our hearts of stone beat not Eyes widening now - its sickening breath down my neck I steel myself against the coming storm My once keen edged sword is rusting and blunt My shield lays broken on the ground
