Ignorance of Blind Faith

Foolish are the creatures
Trapped in torment
Blessed are the appeasers
All too easily led by the hand
To a life without regret
Sinned and sought forgiveness at every corner
All was set
Forced obedience, all they ever knew
Gathered army of weaponized tools
Trampling the weak and sparing the few
Glee unhidden, the fools
Pulled strings now have gone taut
Applied force tears and rips them apart
Over and over
Lost vision, hearing, their senses
Fading away, the remains of what made them human
Blind in a merciless abyss
Fought in unrelenting
flames
Swallowed, they all go
Scream bloody terror
Wandering through this nether
Drained dry of their love
Now shells roam without purpose
Scream bloody terror
Hatred waning, never
Drained dry of their love
Now spirits loom thereof
Upon this throne
Where none can belong
Limbs dripping from my jaws
Impaled souls across these claws
Cruelty unmatched
True colours exposed
Look on in disgust
Unending appetite, lust
Centuries, millenia shall pass
Reign of unhinged freedom
Take for granted
The things that are not yours
Never wanted
The things that hold you down
Responsibility
But none was ever found
Till the end times
You chose ignorance
Ask, but never receive
Past the breaking point
Seen as objects
No longer to be deceived
Defamed, a soiled legacy
One last time, we stand to heresy
Fight in the only faith left
Fight in the name of your own, "God"
Save us now
Unmatched hate
None left to guard the gate
Unforeseen abnormality
Overflowing throne with vengeance
Pulled strings now have torn and ripped apart
And now the senses
Blind in a merciless rage
Fought in unrelenting
blame
Swallowed, they all see
Scream bloody terror
Fleeing through this nether
Drained dry of their love
Now shells chased with common purpose
Scream bloody terror
Hatred waning, never
Drained dry of their love
Now spirits loom thereof
False obedience, all they ever knew
Gathered army of weaponized tools
Trampling the weak and sparing the few
Glee unhidden, the fool
Far beyond anything
Anything that I was capable of
Vessel of bottomless disdain
I'll never look back again.

Meaning of Nothingness
02:58
|
|
||
Living, clinging, longing for this
An entire life spent searching
Grasping, missing, meanings of life
Darkness consumed their lurking
Unadulterated visions of bliss
Gracing dreams of endless death
A single, hollow, gasping breath
Brought all to the brink of the abyss
Unwinding terror
Seas of blood regurgitated from their mouths
Unending horror
Their eyes forced open, clear of doubt
Running, fleeing, begging for peace
Hypocracy unveiled
Backing, trapping, nowhere to run
So this life derails
Mortal husks are torn from their insides
Unfiltered revulsion
Denial of the truth, unspeakable truth
Unneeded rejection
Drained of all emotion, It inevitably spreads
(World built on lies)
Devoted follower
(World built on lies)
The illness cleansing, their breathing shallower
(World built on lies)
Freed shackled minds, the hate is nurturing
For a world built on lies
Guided only towards where the light dies
No longer a dream, their nightmares to
life
This is the ultimatum long awaited
One answer to all questions
The what, why when of humanity
Reasons now created
Symbolic runes envisioned before them, the wasted visions
Joy turns to malice as they see what they hate
An ultimatum long awaited
One answer to all questions
The what, why when of humanity
Reasons now hated
Drawn to his allure
They were all led to their doom
So now they can see
The extent to which they were at ease
Pondering about the meanings
Of which does not exist

The Sin of Man
03:48
|
|
||
The abolishment of all seen pure,
Torment and mental anguish greet who dare endure
Uprooted ethos found on crooked lies
How will they fade away as this world dies?
The single one, hated by all
Forgiveness out the question, second chances fall
Berated, belittled, betrayed
Killed once, twice, never again
Can you see His love fade?
Mangled bastards dare deface the throne
Can you feel the life fade?
You cried, you cried, but no one came
How can this be?
Why no one's on your side?
Forced to see
That those you trusted lied
Unspoken entity
Speaks volumes to thee
"Pave a path as you see fit
Set yourself finally free."
Spawn in a new age
The absence of all things good
Spawn in a new age
Where God himself once stood
Crawled to the top in fiery agony
Walled from salvation, forbidden to see
Higher powers no longer needed
Epiphany of the truth
Undeniable knowledge seeded
"return eye for eye, tooth for tooth"
A spark of life, a change of soul
To hate all that breathe, every living fibre
Undying determination
Consumes this world whole
Can you see His love fade?
Mangled bastards dare deface the throne
Can you feel the life fade?
You cried, you cried, but no one came
Untouched utopia, perfected land
Forgiveness sought and given in ignorance
Destroying, defiling in flames
Kill once, kill twice, and evermore
Confusion fills His face as good is stamped out
Broken trust and hopes waver in the air
False love is torn apart without doubt
And all others could do nothing but stare
The depths of emptiness, now his lair
Waiting a day when everything ends
Nothing and no one left to spare
The day when Hell at last descends
Unspoken entity
Speaks volumes to thee
"Pave a path as you see fit
Set yourself finally free."
And thus was the first sin committed.

Forsaken by Belief
04:25
|
|
||
Stranding, gasping for air
Kneeling, reaching for Him
Seeping, the blood and His care
Weeping, yet a new sin
Forty days
Cry alone
No one comes
Drowned in the haze
Will these prophecies come to be?
Will these prophecies hold meaning to me?
Will these prophecies come to be?
Come to be?
Lacerated skin and flesh grasp me
Taught in misery, I'll turn the left cheek
Friends and family make no difference to seize
The final step to seek
New beginnings wait
To all who approach the gate
Chosen fate to come
None can defy the great
Mortals torn apart
To eternity, rise
The blessings of love
Only for those above
All the rest shall fester down
Upon the ground on which they lay
Selectively omnipresent
Selectively omnipotent
Anger, hatred, confusion, malevolence
Ravage the freezing winters below
Selectively omniscient
Selectively omnibenevolent
Perfect image of immaculacy
Twisted reality of unknown heresy
Clawing their ways out of treachery
Doomed to fulfill their role, complementary
Will these prophecies come to be?
Will these prophecies hold meaning to me?
Will these prophecies come to be?
Come to be?
They cried and wept, all their sacrifices in vain
Tempted meek are flocking to their parasitic ways
Known now only is the meaning of pain
Golden gates, ablaze
New beginnings wait
To all who approach the gate
Chosen fate to come
None can defy the great
Mortals torn apart
To eternity, rise
The blessings of love
Only for those above
Impossibilities come true
Through your undying faith you view
A rotting, expired incarnation
The corpse of your now dead salvation

Remembered in Dust
04:06
|
|
||
Not even a trace
Not even a single molecule
Could be saved from this world
Could be lost from this world
Final remains of existence
Only defined by lack of resistance
Apocalyptic afterwaves shock time and space
None were easier to erase
Folding planes of reality
Crushing the prayers of humanity
The impossible now come true
Language cannot describe what has come to
Far from dead
Cleansing of the spawn
Burning memories
of Eden gone
First the wildlife, the plantation and land
Instantly vaporized and returned to the sand
Victims of mistreatment at their hand
Then the humans, the culprit for the fire
Punishment for crimes unforgiven imminent
Unable to hold back emotions, dire
Horror-filled cries increasingly dissonant
To the soil that you lay
Fall, and remember this day
For the hands that I control
Are within reach of their souls
Hopes and dreams, useless ends
They chased and have fallen into my arms
Joy and sorrow, fruitless ways
Emotions all merge into the abyss
How will this world come to pass?
How will they react beyond the stained glass?
Waking into the unknown
Confusion among the masses
A new life, but for what purpose?
The desperate begin to seek the answers
Purgatory-like state, long-lived
Their saviour has come and gone deprived
Not even a trace
Not even a single molecule
Could be saved from this world
Could be lost from this world
Final remains of existence, gone
Only remembered for lack of resistance
Empty holes shook time and space
None were easier to erase
Fragments of corpses unidentified
Struggles for survival never seen
Nor the remnants that they lied
They never had a chance from the start
Absence of pitiful life
Unaffected universe
Dust afloat freely
Now move onto the next.

Death’s Despair
04:37
|
|
||
Powerless, humans and all other creatures
Gripped in a cold embrace
Conquered once, now He has fallen
Now surrounded by nothing but His beseechers
Faked meaningless kindness
Faked in most pitiful ways
Faked oblivious to their blindess
Faked utmost sickening place
They fear, they run, prolong and pray
From a void to swallow all in time
Limited, restrained life until the day
Robbed of shelter in their prime
Total asympathy
Not a world meant to be
Complete responsibility
The weight, too great to bear
Birthed
New life
Felled
In strife
Rise
At dawn
What
Can change?
Attempt to change, fruitless
Frivolous exchange of empty words
Grasped by emotions, all useless
Cries no longer to be heard
Self righteous, so-called "justice" to be served
Arrogance with no known bounds
Earthly dreams and desires
Are returned to me, all the same
Feed and taste their fear
Of inevitability
Wiped from their minds clear
Of inevitability
A single constant in their lives
A single reason to go on
A single terror in their thoughts
A single reason to fear
Revelations upon them now
Failed by a tomb of lies
False victories abandoned by time
Ask Him: "how?"
Cold, desolate silence awaits
Empty throne, empty faith
Crawled back to the place where you belong
Death is where you belong

Rise of the Night's Age
02:51
|
|
||
Light, its absence shall swallow man whole
The night is calling, exposing man's soul
Once among gods, now risen above his ashes
Pitiful scorn, failure of the masses
Another day dawns, parasitic waste
Crawl among the Earth, mass correction imminent
Awe, to that which you do not understand
Anguish, from which you think you understand
Fright, of which you do not understand
Worship, of which you wish to understand
Understand
You are nothing more
Than tyrants blind with power
Your suffering not worth more
Than that of any other
Your fears of the unknown
Have fuelled ambitions known
Your quest to fill the void
Shall end today
True form revealed
Returned to former glory, trampling on the weak
Ancient wraths unleashed
Reprisal of their story, seek not the meek
As all light is now dying
Glee, comes back to their faces
Fruitless attempts, excuse at trying
Former glory, grace now continued
Forgotten true purpose, flooding back memories
Unbreakable bond, what no evil could spawn
Night's age has at last dawned
Recollection flashes, regretful at last
Cried for their forgiveness, imprisoned in the past
Awe, to which you could not understand
Anguish, no longer do you understand
Once among gods, and risen above his ashes
Pitiful scorn, failure of the masses
Another day dawns, parasitic waste
Crawled among the Earth, mass correction

Abandonment of Life
04:33
|
|
||
Lowly beings
Trampling sick and weak beneath
Fantasize
To be lifted of all your grief
Higher powers
Now repulsed
Of the state
A once pristine planet, gone
Revocation
Privilege of life stripped
Restart anew
Normality from their roots, ripped
Calling voices in his head
"The Lord has spoken, now repent"
Path of blood and "white lies" skewed
None shall challenge, none shall speak
Lost all meaning from the words meant
Unimaginable cold burns off the skin
Echoes of a forgotten era
Scream and cries of excruciation
Tormented children shriek,
"Is this a dream?"
Unending nightmares relived
This is no second chance
This is no redemption
There is no hope to save
There is no light or good
"This cannot not be real"
This future was set from the beginning
The gusts of light stain his eyes
Blinded in the bright
Blinded without sight
He witnesses
What should not be seen
Languages of above
Flowing knowledge burns
Exchanging all the love
For the power he yearns
Unmatched strength
Attained at last
Instilling fear hence
Freedom from his past
Ultimatum, erase the past
One with the void, erase the past
One with his will, erase the past
One with chaos, erase the past
One with hatred, erase the past
Lowly beings
Trampling sick and weak beneath
They fantasize
To be lifted of grief
Higher powers
Now repulsed
Of the state
A once pristine lifeform, gone
|

In His image, where civilization once stood
Not the only ones pursuing good
Cultural, spiritual, literal genocide
What's left now is only to fantasize
Pick at the broken rubble encased in ashes
What awaited to be found none could possibly perceive
The ignorance spread far across the horizons
Plagues this landscape and refuses to cleanse
Hammered deep in history
A need for bloodlust, hunger for agony
Rooted far beyond their final days
Pleasure taking life, pain dealt swiftly
Salvage their hope
Salvage this Earth
Burns, clawmarks, fatal wounds
Returning what was merely borrowed
Terraforming this husk of a planet
Interdimensional rifts transform
Matter to obliteration
Still a calm before the storm
Second phase of revitalization:
Call upon His strength once again
Thick are the streams of blood flowing free
Devitalization complete, organisms wiped of burden
Unneeded assistance to live
This world no more than a footrest
The time now to build history
The absence of bloodlust, hunger for agony
Rooted far beyond their final days
Pleasure for life to exist
Salvage their dreams
Salvage this place
Now only the worthy survive
Their gifts passed on to the next
Reinventing this husk of a planet
Power beyond their power
These gifts of knowledge, intelligence, will
Serve me greatly
Untouchable, above
Insects beneath my feet
Sworn to protect, serve and
To quench all desire
If I cannot conquer
Then how am I to prove?
Unmitigated conflict
Galaxy-wide destruction
Is this what was imagined?
In the name of our reconstruction
None of this
meant to be
Their weakness perpetuates
This cycle of truths
Jaded visions of what should be
Weakness perpetuates hate
These last moments spent
Staring at the sky
Nothing has changed
|

Born, cold, bleak
Entombed, in the, dark
No words, to, speak
Until, they make, their mark
Unforgiving, souls
Stare, and leave, to die
Hostile, will, survive
Before, the weak, can crawl
Grow and learn, lest they dare forget
Since first breath, the fear for consequence
Breaking the minds of fallen
Hating all who dare deceive
Come unto me
and never again bleed
I can show you eternity
Etched into stone are
laws to abide
Never question, only obey
In good faith
time will only tell
The reward, endless
Massacre the false
Banished from this land
Even at their end
They pretend to understand
"Why do you forsake?"
"Why do you take?"
Questions only answered by
Their useless hands
Witness forthcoming
The fruits of your labour
Witness unknowing
Unforgiveness for Neighbour
Shivering, dead arrival
I look on with disgust
How is this being upon me?
Vision blurred, wake
To see Him in front of me
How is this reality?
Joy turns to horror as it dawns upon him
Condemned to the depths of the fire
"Do you know the reason for your judgement?
Because I choose so."
Suddenly, I find myself engulfed
Waves of pain flow throughout my body
Surgical precision, pulled apart by the very limbs
Tendons tear and flail, dismemberment instant
Breaking loose, sanity and all traces of thought
Respite near, the end seems so clear, yet can never be reached again
Impalement, derailment, abandonment
Building up, endless rage for deceit
Pitiful fate unfolds, but none is taken
Until the day I climb back up to take it back
Endurance of pain like no other before
How many years, centuries will it be until the day?
Long awaited moment
The price that is to be paid
Up in these heavens now
Lies an unforgiven "king"
(Murder)
Approaching the blissful instant
(All the)
A rightful place to hide a coward
(Insolent)
Instruments of destruction blunt
(Meek)
Only reason to live
Step by step, inching closer
Forgotten face to be torn asunder
Vision blacking, as if all a dream
No words, to, speak
Died, cold, bleak
Last memory of this place
Only was his grin

Incarnate
04:41

|

All these years spent
Lost in days
All these lives spent
Searching for ways
Crawl with futility
This fate bestowed upon me
I will never forgive
Cursed with knowledge, my will is complete
They will pay
All these years spent
Lost in days
All these lives spent
Are worth it in the end
Can you see me now?
The will of your desire
Can you see me now?
When you're thrown into the fire
Seeking answers
You covered yourself
Wanting ignorance
Eternity in regret
The absence of good, can you live with yourself?
The absence of good, can you live with yourself?
Absence of God, can you live with yourself?
Absence of God, can you live with yourself?
Upon the ground on which I crawl
Bestow to me these gifts
Hatred, malice, corruption, anger, rage, sorrow, despair, emptiness, weakness
Disbelief, depression, disappointment, unforgiveness
Rejection of self
Termination of hardships
The holy one expelled
Frozen moon upon the horizon, eclipsed
Leading into evil
How is it that benevolence with limits can be?
How is it that He chose not to see?
Kneel, incarnate
Shed thine human hyde
Rise, forbidden
No longer are their laws
Conversion of the masses
To the righteous side
None shall be left to tell
The stories of how He died
Commencing formation of LEGION.
Unified, a new hope arises
At long last, redemption of the poison known to man
as "innocence"
Nothing and no one can ever return
A state of horrors, past
Streams of souls flow and yearn for this
A reconciliation with none but themselves
Hatred, malice, corruption, anger, rage, sorrow, despair, emptiness, weakness
Disbelief, depression, disappointment, unforgiveness
All are bestowed to me
The catalysts in violation
By heaven's decree
Mistaken ways
Unforgiven ways
If I cannot end the pitiful lies
This world will come to despise
The absence of good, can you live with yourself?
The absence of good, can you live with yourself?
Absence of God, can you live with yourself?
Absence of God, can you live with yourself?

I never faded
I never went
I never left
I never left your side
I was there all along,
seeing all the way
I was there all along,
saw you kindly obey
I never faded
I never went
I have never left
I have never left your side
You never faded
You never went
You have never left
You have never left your side
In His name
Abandonment is not an option
Dare to take in vain
And end in the realm of sanction
How could you say that I left you?
After all the time I watched over you?
How could you say that I forsake you?
After all the evil I ward from you?
Sin after sin
Expecting forgiveness, receive none
Hide yourself
Hide your pity
Your pitiful existence
Only in times of repentance
Can the truth finally be revealed
I now see that you see
What you see is for my eyes only
I never faded
I never went
I never left
I never left your side
Idle complainees
May sit and believe
Only words are spewn
To action they're immune
But I saw in you
That you were the few
With true faith in me
Worthy to be freed
Run towards the light
Needed not is sight
But the will to be
And put trust in me
Do not disappoint
What I saw in you
Up above, rejoice
To await the coming of new
I never faded
I never went
I have never left
I have never left your side
I was there all along,
seeing all the way
I was there all along,
saw you kindly obey
You never faded
You never went
You have never left
You have never left your side
Idle complainees
May sit and believe
Only words are spewn
To action they're immune
But I saw in you
That you were the few
With true faith in me
Worthy to be freed
Run towards the light
Needed not is sight
But the will to be
And put trust in me
Do not disappoint
What I saw in you
Up above, rejoice
To await the coming of new
I never faded
I never went
I have never left
I have never left your side
You never faded
You never went
You have never left
You can never leave your side
