• 1. A Carrion Harvest (03:25)
   copy

  Brace for impact!
  Collision course to perdition
  Into the abyss
  Strengthening all those who’ve sinned
  
  Hell is bliss
  Embrace evil to survive
  Open wide the gates
  A metaphor eternal
  Hell awaits
  
  Brace for impact
  Or be blown away
  A carnival, a grind show
  Machination’s prey
  Find sanctuary in purgatory
  Tempest’s fiery rain
  Burn misery gone
  Carrion harvest left in flames
  
  Pandemonium, and wretchedness
  In fire and brimstone seek burnt caress
  
  Brace for impact
  Or be blown away
  A carnival, a grind show
  Machination’s prey
  Find sanctuary in purgatory
  Tempest’s fiery rain
  Burn misery gone
  Carrion harvest left in flames
  
  A netherworld to fuel desire
  Bathing in the everlasting fire
  
  Too much pain to breathe
  Air blistering your face
  Descend on the left hand path
  Take your infernal place
  
  Embrace evil to survive
  Open wide the gates
  A metaphor eternal
  Hell awaits
• 2. Beyond the Veil (of the Grey Mare) (05:15)
   copy

  From sand to glass upon a grave
  A moth drawn to the light
  Equine skull ascends its stave
  Mari Llwd midnight
  Bones of the dead down on their knees
  Swathed in a pilgrim's cloak
  Pray tell me what this Devil sees
  All through the mist and smoke
  
  The dead at the window – The living feed
  Beyond the veil of the Grey Mare -
  Pray tell me what this Devil sees
  
  Now to let our Mari in
  Her lust to join your feast
  Hark, the hands of midnight
  And the birthing of the beast
  
  The dead at the window – The living feed
  Beyond the veil of the Grey Mare -
  Pray tell me what this Devil sees
  
  Prattling tusks of skulls – Beckons the banished poor
  Lepers, thieves and drunkards, HA! -
  Not one escapes the gore
  Undead hands awaken – Pendulums chain
  In the night they pull the plough – Enraging dead men's pain
  
  A frost to bind the bloodied pact
  Cramps that claw the hand
  Roaring fires of her flood
  when forging glass from sand
  
  The dead at the window – Death's caress
  Beyond the veil of the Grey Mare – Ride on her hot breath
  Gothic pagan phantasm – Shatters the veneer
  Dead men beyond the veil – Pestilential fear
  
  Are you afraid?
  
  Undead rise as cold frost
  Starved of flesh and skin
  Raise the skull, behold
  Those brimstone flames within
  Men of darkness, legion strong
  Shudder without shame
  Hatred for the holy songs
  Bastard ballads bear no name
  
  Broken within anguish – A wassailing so cruel
  Fragment this thinning veil – Beyond the Mari Llwd
  
  The dead at the window
  Fire drives them back
  Beyond the veil of the Grey Mare
  Spat from Hell in black
  Obsidian Pagan darkness
  From whence the undead feed
  Mari Llwd beyond the veil
  Pray tell me what this Devil sees
• 3. Genesis Chamber (04:11)
   copy

  “Have I that right?
  No allies will atone
  The final choice is mine
  And mine alone
  A future without fear
  One act to halt the blight
  I become death
  Do I have the right?”
  
  Interception
  To cease obsidian's create
  An accord is struck
  Weaken or Exterminate
  Temporally displaced
  Mutations won't subside
  Hatred overwhelming into
  Sanity to slide
  Enhancing vanity
  Into warfare's trench
  Genesis chamber calling
  It's siren song a deathly stench
  
  Do I have the right?
  
  Arising darkness
  My nemesis
  Do I have the right?
  Chamber of this Genesis
  
  No absentia malevolence
  No conscience, no regret
  Initiate temporal conflict
  This right holds no lament
  
  Do I have the right?
  
  Arising darkness
  My nemesis
  Do I have the right?
  Chamber of this Genesis
  
  We are entombed
  But we live on
  This is only the beginning
  We prepare, we become strong
  
  When the time is right
  We will emerge
  And take our rightful place
  The supreme power of the universe
  
  Arising darkness
  My nemesis
  Do I have the right?
  Chamber of this Genesis
• 4. Deviant Spine (04:48)
   copy

  This mindless furnace
  One crucible of hate
  Inner serpent coiling
  Bones grate as they break
  From blackened minds
  Skeletal machine
  Mouldered are the voiceless
  Mute, infected screams
  
  Voidless howling
  Infernal the bloodline
  Cursed bones, increase agony
  Rise the deviant spine
  
  In solitude to fester
  Fortune's tarot
  Consumed and digested
  Sucking on the marrow
  
  Voidless howling
  Infernal the bloodline
  Cursed bones, increase agony
  Rise the deviant spine
  Hiveworld of anger
  A suicidal rate
  Fuel to the furnace
  We deviate
  
  Our bloodied hands and dampened blade
  Guiltless to this artwork made
  Canvas torn, a blighted skin
  Outer madness drawn within
  ...Salt on an open wound
  
  Leech sector, teeth on skin
  Parasite malign
  Wake up and smell the species
  Open wound, deviant spine
  
  Voidless howling
  Infernal the bloodline
  Cursed bones, increase agony
  Rise the deviant spine
  Hiveworld of anger
  A suicidal rate
  Fuel to the furnace
  We deviate
• 5. Engines of War (03:09)
   copy

  A marginal response
  Vindictive friction
  All assets utilised
  In gross acts of attrition
  Disrupt subconscious
  Beyond enemy lines
  Lay the lessons of the past
  To rest on dead men's spines
  
  Reel tormented
  And you shall fall
  Demoralising false insight
  Engines of War
  
  Waging open conflict
  Armageddon's night
  From common man to corpses
  is no sacrificial rite
  Innocence to suffer
  Vastness of greed
  Mastery's possession
  So Faustian, indeed
  
  Reel tormented
  And you shall fall
  Demoralising false insight
  Engines of War
  
  This world of nightmare graves
  Twisted reality
  Engorged upon man's hatred
  Compulsive lust for savagery
  
  Bloodshed for evermore
  Neverwhen, Engines of War
  
  Battlefield, a wasteland
  The wreckage now unfurled
  No remorse, no forgiveness
  No respite this netherworld
  Darkness borne through centuries
  Bloodshed evermore
  Eternally regressing...neverwhen
  Engines of War
• 6. The Finality of Perpetuation (04:00)
   copy

  Crank it up!
  
  Parasympathetic
  Inner wolf howls but your moon don't glove
  Indulgence over abstinence
  On the edge, ascension slow
  Turning up and turning down
  Fervor so headstrong
  Turning in and turning 'round
  Seven seconds long
  
  Engage to expanse
  The anticipation calls
  Pleasure at a glans
  A pure fucking load of balls
  Boundaries lie unbroken
  Full to the brim
  Pass the point of no return
  At your chagrin
  Nervous system overload
  Your voiceless scream
  Borderline insatiate
  It's time to vent your spleen
  
  No mortification
  Don't put your sin to death
  Finality's perpetuation
  Scent of lust upon your breath
  Abusive touch as walked in dark
  Stroking the abyss
  Inferno to be taken slow
  A flame to set ablaze your bliss
  Fiery tempest, don't resist
  The searing pain of syphilis
  
  Feel that burn!
  Obsessive addiction
  Onani machine
  Prolific manipulation
  Time to vent your spleen
  
  How long you got?
  Seven seconds long
• 7. Crawling over Corpses (04:42)
   copy

  Lividity in progress
  Overwhelming is the stench
  Victims to process
  Exsanguination your torment
  Under my watchful gaze
  Never to live out your days
  Sensual obsession grew
  ...I'm crawling over corpses for you
  
  Bleakly view your future
  This final light so black
  Howling in the darkness
  As you're naked on my rack
  Blind love gained by torture
  Sweet words of your screams
  Complicit enchantment
  I'm crawling over corpses in my dreams
  
  My incessant need, to watch you fucking bleed
  This fascinating love, to bathe in so much blood
  
  A poisoned mind, infatuate
  Desire, crush, hallucinate
  A murdered mass, initial thrust
  Crawling over corpses...in lust
  
  Inhumanity revealed
  Epidermis slowly peeled
  Empty voids now to be filled
  With all the victims I have killed
  Your body left out to decay
  The pinnacle of my display
  Mountainous dead, a passion true
  Crawling over corpses for you
  
  I'm crawling over corpses, crawling over corpses
  Crawling over corpses to get to you
• 8. In the Dread of the Night (04:51)
   copy

  A darkness envelops
  Within fire to quench
  Terror on the rise
  Gagging on its stench
  The bastards start to grind
  Undead unite
  Obsidian your vision
  In the dread of the night
  
  Out of the fiery pit
  Revel at the dawn
  Forever fear cast away
  From darkness now reborn
  Regenerated past lives
  As might is right
  A passion for the Black Flame
  In the dread of the night
  
  Kind to those deserving
  No ingrates to waste
  An overriding vengeance
  Cold to taste
  rushing lies and falsehood's hate
  Proud to keep Adamantine gates
  Born of fire, not of spite
  In the dread of the night
  
  Out of the fiery pit
  Revel at the dawn
  Forever fear cast away
  From darkness now reborn
  Regenerated past lives
  As might is right
  A passion for the Black Flame
  In the dread of the night
  
  When the mindless undead march
  When Hell's for hire
  Into dread forge ever forward
  A black flame to their funeral pyre
  
  Daunting odds to not deter
  The black dog's open jaws
  A surgeon's lance to slice the vein
  On a litany of callous whores
  Terror doesn't make you cruel
  Fear can make you kind
  In the dread of the night
  We watch the bastards grind
  
  Out of the fiery pit
  Revel at the dawn
  Forever fear cast away
  From darkness now reborn
  Regenerated past lives
  As might is right
  A passion for the Black Flame
  In the dread of the night
• 9. Drought of Mercy (04:56)
   copy

  Engulfed within the darkness
  In the ashes of glass
  Acquire the ancient tyrant's rule
  Opulence you blindly grasp
  Blood flows in the gutters
  Pain in the gallery
  As the frost of Hell burns cold
  So begins this drought of mercy
  
  Ritual involved by fire's blaze
  Atrophied in the ice-desert haze
  Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground
  Obsidian the sound
  
  Drought of mercy, oppression's thirst
  Usurper returns for possession's curse
  An illusion, dreams of war
  Noblemen will hang no more
  Conquest and victory
  Power and might
  In mercy's drought
  A sacrifice this night
  Smite the usurper's ground
  Dark lords obeyed
  Triumph set its runes in stone
  My fealty never strays
  
  Drought of mercy, opaque view
  Acquired the ancient tyrant's rule
  A feud to dominate
  Winter's fragments fornicate
  
  Ritual invoked by fire's blaze
  Atrophied in the ice-desert haze
  Blood burnt iron forged unhallowed ground
  Obsidian the sound
  
  Tenebrous ghoul
  Raven en masse
  All mercy's drought
  In the darkness of glass
  
  Blood burnt iron's wrath ablaze
  Cursed heat of icy haze
  Mercy's drought on sacred ground
  Obsidian in its sound
  Phantom embodies blackened shores
  Parched with thirst at mercy's door
  Dominions rage, the droughts arise
  Born to die for death at birth's demise
• 10. Psychosister (03:23)
   copy

  Brutality in pure essence
  Corrupted life entombed
  Deformations calcified
  To scab over the wounds
  Broad and sharp her blade
  In brimstone made
  Blackened, obsidian
  A violent epicurean
  
  In her piety of pain
  Psychosister's carnal reign
  Unholy water crimson red
  Blindly worship the undead
  
  Within the sanctum of the cyst
  Body, blood, anthropophagist
  Bearing scars of self-torment
  Attic toys are not dormant
  Barbarity of sins entail
  A rosary of cold entrails
  
  Psychosister shall begin
  The slow removal of your skin
  A credo of the carnal reign
  Alpha, Omega, just one bloodstain
  
  Pyschosister, you can't resist her
  When her ritual's done
  Morbid obedience, forbid your deviance
  When you bow to the nun, but I bow to none
  
  Pyschosister, you can't resist her
  Ritual done – you will bow to the nun
  
  In her piety of pain
  Psychosister's carnal reign
  Unholy water crimson red
  Blindly worship the undead
  
  Psychosister shall begin
  The slow removal of your skin
  A credo of the carnal reign
  Alpha, Omega, one bloodstain
• 11. Ravage of Empires (04:45)
   copy

  Hope dies with the setting sun
  Chaos borne at night
  Havoc spiraling down
  When empires take light
  Innocence staked out to die
  As harmony burns
  Cracks within the mantle
  Pandemonium returns
  
  Ravage of Empires, forbidden realms
  Override lunacy to underwhelm
  Empires in havoc, mentally flawed
  Sharpening blades at the sight of the oncoming horde
  
  Ravage of Empires, incomplete
  Override lunacy, engage to delete
  Empires in havoc, oncoming storm
  Transcend the covert force to escalate war
  
  Silence broken, pieces torn
  No respite in the coming storm
  
  Elemental arrogance
  The old world chaos hates
  Fractured through the silver glass
  New worlds to alienate
  Nightmare of miracles
  Slips from memory
  The winged-witch raised a curse
  Ravaged empire's entropy
  
  Lay waste to history's past
  Crushing to rewrite
  Pulverize temporal blast
  My empire's broken blight
