O Sun
We’re mortal men
Left to cower
In nakedness
Of sin and free to
Fall
Flaming beams of day
Light a world of plague
Slave to sickness
Bound to a certain
Death
Toll
Toll
Eyes white hot with ire
Havoc left afire
Blinded
By greed
Ransack the world
For better treasures hid
Praise be to man’s desire
All of his power and might
Abandon
Destruction reigns
Lost
Unsaved
Give up your hope
Open your mind
Toil among the vagrants here
Deceivers and fiends
Gaze upon the heretic
Hung, quartered and drawn
Shame
Shame
The heretic
A herald masked
Emblazoned high
His message left

Lay Waste Our Powers
04:03
|

|
To the wind our thoughts are swept
Vain attempt at immortality
Aspired
Master of none
Knowledge sought
Of realms beyond
Elements
Of Earth command
Wayward men
Traverse the globe
Addled minds
Blind to the limits
We face
Vaunt not ourselves
Abased
On Earth we lay
Marred reflection, flawed creation
Kings among the beasts
Vestal beings walk beneath us
Wrongful vassalage
Nature houses sick abusers
Takers of her wealth
Soiling, breaking, raping, wasting
Slayers of her boon
Behold the stag appears
Under a yellow sky
He warns of darker days
Within the seer’s eyes
Leave
Leave
Leave
Leave

A Gilded Rope

Portal
To the grave
Martyr
Of all hopelessness
Ancient spirits speaking through
Break, blow, burn and make me new
In glory
And shame
Crowned with a wreath of thorns
Cursed with infinite scorn
Greeting the second death
What comes after last breath
In life
Disdained
To depths
Ordained
End
End
End
I end
Leave his body to the wind
In a nameless grave
Leave him to the ages lost
Souls of the unsaved
Come
Azrael
Pall
Pall
Bask in your hate
Burn your remains
Soul mutilate
Body profaned

Visions of Hell
04:55
|

|
Deep down
down
Plunged into dark
Far from the light
Nether devoured
Deep down
down
Clamored
and tortured
Trembled
Unending pain
And suffering
Dominion of doom
Where din resounds
Chambers of fire
Their worm does not die
die
die
Manacles of steel and sorrow
Drown and burn in waters of flame
Contemplate unbounded despair
Infernal views bring tears of blood
Shadows formed from lambent light
Dance on brimstone walls
Souls impaled atop the spire of
Pandaemonium
Behold them
become
ash
Behold them
become
ash
The black dog waits
At the gate
Follow him
To your fate

The Albatross Hangs
05:38
|

|
Suspended at eternal sea
We drift
Suspended at eternal sea
We drift
Reminiscent of past worlds
Far beyond the firmament
Lo, storms of black waters
splash against the hull
The winged omen flies
in azure skies
Sailing on meridians
of cosmic planes
Approaching Chaos
Distant spheres hang
on the horizon
Where do we go
As the ship burns
On endless waves
Succumb to the blaze
Or watery grave
Rot on the sea
Dive into depths
Of calenture
Or lunacy
Sink far below
Sink far below
Sink far below
Wreck
Wreck
Wreck

Void Palace

I saw the place where the rivers end
The sun collapsed leaving nothing but death
There is nothing on these desolate banks
Fall down into the ninths chasm
Enter
Exalt and
Ascend
Exalt and
Ascend
And all was black
Perpetual night
A sennet sounds
A lustre shines
A formless home
Amorphous heart
Eldritch one guards
The astral well
A man peers in
His fate dispels
Predestined fall
Inevitable rise
Such is the way of
The universe
Bathe in the glow of the crystal abyss
Dissolve in the realm of the unfathomable
Beginning is ending
For nothing is older
than Night
our ending
becomes
Beginning
Awe
In Awe
Fall
To a place
Where the light,
Fears to tread
We fall for eternity
