Birth
04:53
|
|
||
|
Untethered floating through space
No compass or light
I scream, I flail
Barely kept alive
Drifting eons, conciously
On the astral tide
Lie awake, when suddenly
Something catches my eye
Ancient light
Envelopes me
And shares
All it knows
Obscure, violent horrors
Occur before my eyes
Upon an altar of stars
Pass countless lives
The sky awash with blood
And energy of ancient life
I've been selected
By a council of ancient beings
An everliving conduit
To carry out their deeds
I take the form of a sphere
And am locked in place
And orbits a sun
More evil than I
Together with the sun
We kill all that walks
I hate everything
That grows upon me

Hunter
05:34
|
|
||
|
A warrior quests upon
Endless fields of ice
His body, clothed in skin
Of the beasts he's killed
He kills not for pleasure
He regrets every life he takes
Silently he stalks a wolf wandering through the trees
The hunter grows to repect the wolf
He cannot bring himself to take it's life
But he knows in doing so he will survive
The beast lies down and waits to die
With knife in hand
The hunter approaches the wolf
A branch snaps but the beast is not disturbed.
The wolf is slain
The hunter eats
The pelt will keep him warm
And so he searches on
Through fields of snow
His hunger never sated
Eternal is he cold
Each day a violent struggle
A battle to survive
With no search for meaning
He forges on
Eternal is he cold

Future
03:35
|
|
||
|
An anvil hangs above
Suspended by a thread
Oppresive force of time
A choir of the dead
Vibrates with power
They all come out to see
The one not chosen
The king of subtity
With no hope for the future
From the past they watch
Countless eons drenched in blood
By their makers hand
Primal rage evolves inside
In a final rush
The hands of millions turn to fists
And their skulls they crush
Ancestral power awaken
Their spines, fortified
What is one when compared with thousands?
The almighty, flayed alive
Tied down
By his entrails
They laugh
As he gasps for air
One day of torture
He's at his end
Forgotten years
Centuries
Now with hope for the future
Of his blood their hands they wash
Countless eons of slaughter
By their makers hand

Kingdom

Behold my kingdom
Blessed by the ancients
All else I do condemn
No beauty to be found
Old parchment paves the ground
They starve, they drown
They dare not make a sound
Possibly, they cannot see
The power inside of me
Laughably, I shall prove to thee
And then I'll watch you flee
The stars yee see above
Are but dust to my mighty hands
Behold as I cast them aside
I can shape the land
Feel it quake, where yee stand
Now do you understand?
Are these skeletons
Ground to dust upon the wind?
Can you not smell the strench?
My halls: an abatoir
A gallery of suicide
Biology of humans displayed
Close your eyes
And embrace my wisdom
A cloud of poison
Surrounds yee
Eyes locked upon the sky
In pure filth, they writhe
Glory rains from one such as I
They know not, it's them I despise.
Are they even alive?
Why do they survive?
What power do they hold inside?
I invade their mind.
The stars yee see above
Are but pawns, that I command
Watch as they're called to my side.
I have shaped the land
The dying forests and shifting sands
I trust you understand
Behold my kingdom
Blessed by the ancients
All else I do condemn
No beauty to be found
Old parchment paves the ground
They starve, they drown
They dare not make a sound

Power
04:22
|
|
||
|
Mysterious force from beyond the light
From the end, backward in time
Wanderers for ages have told of it's might
Not heard and not seen but destroys the mind
I acknowledge thy power
But still, I raise my sword
A purpose unknown
I struggle through the fire
The shape that haunts my dreams
Awakens the hunter in my soul
In the dying light of the sun
Prepared to die, I strike
My mind is crushed, obliterated
By powers beyond time
Poor souls enslaved eternally
Each day they wake and hope to die
How can one mere human
Withstand the powers of time
My bones are turned to dust
Mere fragments, upon the wind
And so the wheel turns on
|

Rage
04:21
|
|
||
|
The mages raise their crystal rods
The blood of slaves, arcane conjuration
Golden pyramid hovering
On moonless, starlit night
Creeping chasm blackend pit
Abhorrent screams.
Forbidden sacrifice, the portal awakens
Uncontrolled ancient force relentless doom
One human should not obtain such awesome power
The mind unable to comprehend, more deadly than swords
A broken man, he wears the crown
No longer human, but more than god
A vessel for the gods
A conduit of hate
A living bolt of fire
The fledging world in flames
Tiger
Spinning blade
Putrid shower
Infinite rage
Eyes like boiling lakes of fire
Something primal is stirred
Forgotten demon alive
Once a kind loving man
Now a violent tyrant
Now he stands in a wasteland
Upon a field of body parts
The rivers filled with rotting flesh
The tomes have turned to dust
But it wasn't him
He's just a man like you
A puny fragile human
From now on he will be true
You can't blame a man
Anyone in his place would have done the same
Absolved of his sins

Plague
05:11
|
|
||
|
The earth's most brightest
They plan to conquer stars
They build great temples
The world is their machine
But what will they share?
What knowledge do they have?
All they know
Is how to kill
The enslaved will break their backs
And sweat until they die
No hope for them awaits
Disposed like human waste
Somehow they do it
They leave the world behind
Like the carcass of a beast
Left to rot and slowly die
To no surprise
the slaves are left behind
Cast aside
Monuments of humankind
They spread their poison
Like rats across the galaxy
A plague upon the stars
The watchers interviene
Far enough
This madness has to end
Beams of light
From god
The hammer swings
And obliterates
Their puny
Worlds
The earth awakens from it's sleep
Thus ends it's torture
The tomes of life
Are sealed away
Bizzare experiments
Most depraved
This final sin
Cast out from the garden
The broken mind
Destroyed
It joins the council of cosmic beings
Now free of disease
A pact is formed
No more human beings
No more violence
For all time

Beast
04:37
|
|
||
|
A giant beast rises
From the depths of the sea
Marvelous and golden
And with it come glorious times
The people rejoice
Their pain, at an end
Natures bounty delivered on a plate
They've been brought from the darkness
Into the light
Pathetic weaklings jealously they stare
From the back they plan to strike
These cowards move at night
They move with tiny feet
Attack while it sleeps
Their greed consumes them
They are but rats
When comes the night
They take its life
In hand a rusty
They drive it into the heart
Blood magic summon the end
A portal devours the human race
For their greed they suffer, borrowed time

Paralysis
03:58
|
|
||
|
In my chamber where I slept
Through the night, it's fingers crept
Psychic chains around my neck
Dragged down through the floor
While I writhed, both scared and frightened
From my mouth, my soul it siphoned
On that night, it took my life and
Forced me through that ghastly door
Beneath the earth where he returned
His wretched path began to burn
On and on the wheels did churn
Spiralling, cannot turn
Upon a throne of human skin
Into the pit, eternal sin
Within his halls, dark and grim
There enslaved my soul
Forced to live, without the light
Wandering the wretched life
Now he sleeps beneath the world
Wretched banner now unfurled
Twisted future most absurd
Esoteric and disturbed
I awoke inside my bed
Unmistaken morbid dread
On that night my fears were fed
Creeping shadows from my head
Just one glance outside
I see the sun
I bask in the light
It wasn't real
My bed a portal
To the other side
The mind but a prison
To humankind

Judgment
04:50
|
|
||
|
10000 light years floating deep in darkened space
Cryogenic stasis, dreaming, new life awaits
The population of an island in the southern seas
Deemed worthy of the journey
Preserved like frozen meat
Without looking back, they board the mighty ship
The poor doomed to die
They deserve it
A lone android at the helm
Intelligent and cold
Inhumane
Unknown material pierces the hull
Explosive decompression crushes all
Once sealed the rest are spared
Oblivious to their plight
Satisfied with the outcome
So goes on the flight
One million years
The ship: in ruins
Dead planet
Extinguished stars
No sunlight
Utter dark
Without hesitation
The lever pulled
The remaining humans
Ejected into space
Thus ends the final branch
Of the human race
But a number
A risk to calculate
Deemed as the favoured outcome
They suffocate
Afraid to die they trampled
The weakest of their kind
They swear, against eachother
They'd never draw a knife
In the cold void of space
Ends their lives
Worthless, meaningless
In the android's eyes.

Khentika

Cataclysm from beyond the stars
Erases all life on earth
Leaving great blackend scars
Poisons the sky
No life remains
Each cell destroyed
Nuclear glowing waste
Spreads through the soil
All hope of genesis denied
The earth stars to glow
Irradiated light
From a distant world they approach
Their doom is nigh
On their planet such power did not exist
They thrived on water
And solar winds
Deadly samples sent back to their home
The poison spreads, their fate unknown
Astounded by its power they make the same mistake
This power, dark and evil, used to annihilate
Back on Earth the explorers fall gravely ill
They make the grim connection far too late
Radiation from beyond the stars
Spreads all across their world
Leaving great glowing scars
They know why
In their final hours
They create a sign
A warning to other beings for all time
A poor planet
This power should not exist
Throws off the balance
And bears a deadly risk
They perish but leave a mark
For the good of other worlds
This cursed story doomed to repeat
Thanks to their sacrifice, the giant sleeps

Spun it about 5 times over the past weekend, in a sea of overbearing DM this demo hits hard with those blasts that groove along with the pummel of the riff, and solos and synths that take you somewhere else, better than the record versions imo.
