Carnal Quintessence
04:56
|
|||
It is written in the stars by prophets
From the reaches of Old Siberia
Were a mystic, holy man of Virtue
With healing hands
We beseech you, oh great one anointed
Mystifier true, by God appointed
Cast your favor, let his light imbue you
At any cost!
From Royal loins, sprouted frailty
Confer the Empress unto me
Carnal Quintessence, grave desires
To inspire Regicide!
Growing disease, state of stark infirment
Youthful vessel bedridden internment
God has seen the tears and answers your prayers
The prince shall thrive...
War is coming, commoner uprising
Heed my caution, revolt unsurprising
In the Palace walls implored to remain
Avert the massacre!
Coronation, crowned in debauchery
Adoration, phallic reverence
Exploitation, vested perversion
Fornication, libertine ecstasy, debased liturgy!
By command of spiteful secrecy
I meet my end, through conspiracy
Carnal Quintessence, the final hour
Tsarist Kingdom wanes on borrowed time!

Untamed
03:50
|
|||
The lines have been drawn across the eastern front
Two sides have become adjoined in frenzied hunt
Screams grow higher!
For their lives, soldiers sprint
"Feuer! Jetzt! Feuer!"
Gnashing Jaws, a final glimpse
Behind the treelines, those vicious canines
Take aim, in time, gunfire combined
Untamed frenzy of the forest
In the night, howling their chorus
A challenge to your will
Lacking reinforcement
Stand Strong, hold your ground
The wolves never relent
As the machine guns sound!
Show no mercy!
For these beasts without heart
"Нет пощады! (Net Poschchady!)"
Your Comrades, dead, torn apart!
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.
We shall suspend the rules of war
Our cause beneficial
United men against an army feral
Untamed frenzy of the forest
In the night, howling their chorus
A challenge to all
Within the trench, my failed defense
Clinging to life here in this hole
Gold eyes, black stare, moonlit nightmare
Encase my skull In lupine jaws
Carry out the task - Cut down to their last
Settling the score - Proceed as before...
The War Rages On!

Necroasis
04:28
|
|||
Gathered here at dawn,
towed and laid upon
the stones of sacrament
To the realm exposed,
urged to decompose
Pass beyond the firmament
Nothing indulges on labors of past-
lifeforce emergence, impetus elapsed
The mantra made of the non-self
Cannot sustain such sordid health
The razor waves, then soon to tear
Conduction of the vulture's glare
A million bones to shatter
Unto the birds we scatter
Awaiting death prostration
Exmortal resignation
Born to close, life's very door
As many have done before
Nothing emerges of mortal collapse
Nature's indulgence,
Detritus amassed
Through karma's gate, left open
Guidance of fate, unspoken
Prolonged, recycled error
Beget, renewed soul-bearers
A million bones to shatter
Unto the birds we scatter
Awaiting death prostration
Exmortal resignation
Deadened skies of Necroasis,
Truth belies in lifeless stasis
Adhere to cosmic order
To cross the unseen border
Scavengers of Necroasis,
Progression to other phases
Devoured oaths of passage
Their feast becomes your
casket's immersion
Sun-boiled offal reeking
From mountains high, come seeking
Beaks reddened in the splatter
Talons molest the cadavers
Eyes scarce, picked from skulls
Ingestion without pause
Towards Hell they depart
All essence now, to restart!
Restart!
Restart!

The Third Oath
04:11
|
|||
At first to take the oath
A pledge of secrecy
Proven by the second one
Of undying loyalty
My heartbeat syncopates to the crashing of the waves
I've come to anticipate the donning of their ways
Obed's gift, a cryptic offer
In the seas forever prosper
I dream of prophecy
Sweating through the night
Elevated sensory of underwater sight
Another convulsion pulsing in my skin
Awaken devotion encoded within
Strayed procession to the Devil's Reef
Inoculation on this May's-Eve
Take the diadem, the sacred crown
To you, my betrothed who never drowns
Never drowns!
Sinking towards unknown chasms
Writhe beneath and orgasm
Dagon of the lowest, blackest deep
My will is yours to shape by
Misanthropic incantation
Chaos in my mind, the urges creep
No more deter these
Ichthyic inclinations
A kingdom awaits me since my birth
In the dark corners of the earth
For the ways of man, I've grown to loathe
I finally swear on
The Third Oath
The Third Oath!
Gills where my lungs were once before
Air I can't breathe anymore
Into the sea give in to fate
Down way below to consummate

The End Permeates
05:01
|
|||
Madness enveloping into unstoppable
Portents of suffering
Your death is in the fog!
Non terrestrial horrors
Somatic yet undefined
With raptorial ardor
Predator to mankind
Violate their asylum
Overcast the end of days
Disrupt all semblance
Left untouched by the haze
Seized by tentacles
Our dominion lost!
Pulled into a maw of abhorrent origination
Helpless in resistance
The Mephitic wind
Satisfied through expiation
Propagated absurd omen
Devoid of empathy!
Conflict inside, refuge denied!
Pulled into a maw of abhorrent origination
Helpless in resistance
The Mephitic wind
Satisfied through expiation
Propagated absurd omen
Devoid of empathy!
Focus on the exit, struggle to escape
Taking the offensive at those who denigrate
Panic to the fullest
Shadow of a gun
Desperation's bullet
Open fire, now run!
Madness enveloping into unstoppable
Portents of suffering
The End Permeates
