The Unspeakable 06:06
lyrics
buy track
Lay waste the rite of passage Slip into the place unsung Rest easy on your laurels Your journey has just begun The earth below bled Mirror colored red Righteous anger Virulent hate Unspeakable horrors await Confusion. Disorientation. In the same place but bizarre Contemplate what makes this aberration Hollow hope in a world gone abattoir The earth below bled Mirror colored red Righteous anger Virulent hate Unspeakable horrors await Hiding inside, shunned out despair Closed eyes in shrinking hope Now there is no escape For the bloodworld was always there Racing against the lie A desperate bargain for relief Dissociate. Deny. Comply It is time to see The earth below bled Mirror colored red Righteous anger Virulent hate Unspeakable horrors await How long until your mind breaks?

Evil Twin of Man 05:31
lyrics

Infatuation with hate A love affair with death Standby! Commanded to wait But that's all in your head Stalking - Hunting Breathe in - Scream out Mocking - Grunting Breathless - Gleaming Evil twin of man Twist it like you meant it Evil twin of man Curse the world demented Evil twin of man Gotta plunge the knife in Evil twin of man Bleed it out! A passion to be afraid An inclination to bleed None spoke me to the blade But they said you mustn't breathe Stalking - Hunting Breathe in - Scream out Mocking - Grunting Breathless - Gleaming Evil twin of man Twist it like you meant it Evil twin of man Curse the world demented Evil twin of man Gotta plunge the knife in Evil twin of man Bleed it out! Every open mouth speaks a hundred lies Every word falling out is to blur the lines A beautiful lure to a naive trust A beautiful voice - follow me, you must Speak of peace and wealth, preaching love and life Speak of sanctuary while sharpening the knife I'll lead you to a place of light and lust I'll lead you to the dark and crush you till you're dust The first step is giving in - realize the world you're living in Just one fix - just one gush of blood over your hands Take the plunge - one more leap toward righteous sin It's you or them - cleanse their vice from this bloody land

Void Mother 05:54
lyrics

Lost and alone Cold and afraid Throw you bone Listen to what I say She can save us Just shut your eyes Give her your trust Search in the blind Look for the darkness That's no empty mistress She'll light your hope anew Leave behind your flame The darkness called my name Void Mother calls you, too Does she lie? She must lie Does she lie? She must not She must lie She must not She must lie She must not Trust her! Reach for the sky See the beauty in her eyes Reach for the sky Let her consume your mind

In the Darkest Light 04:51
lyrics

Suffocating pain Flesh ripped to shreds Hook and claw remain Greedy eyes burn red Crave to maim Hate - the lowliest sin The world sees a beastly mange Yet returns time and time again Shining in the moon Become one with the night The piercing howl rises In the darkest light Must it end so soon? Must we kiss goodbye? The lonely howl cries in In the darkest light Welcome fucking back They can never leave Once the beast is in their tracks They're addicted to the teeth Turning red to black Venom plants the seed Newborn wakes to join the pack Bounds into the night to feed Shining in the moon Become one with the night The piercing howl rises In the darkest light Must it end so soon? Must we kiss goodbye? The lonely howl cries In the darkest light [Solo] Shining in the moon Become one with the night The piercing howl rises In the darkest light Must it end so soon? Must we kiss goodbye? The lonely howl cries In the darkest light A shadow on the moon Familiar in the night A low howl rises Sent away so soon One last kiss goodbye The distant howl cries In the darkest light

Hive 06:17
lyrics
buy track
We come upon the deep Biting, clawing, stinging things brim No safe passage - we must keep the way I and this new soul I see light in Toward the maw - a long, deep breath Enveloping dark - a cold chill shivers Ugly bellows from the wretch One more monster to kill Understanding The grief, the pain Becoming closer Fighting battles one in the same Light outside draws near Relief we must claim The thing left alive rears its ugly head again One more monster to kill The battle rages - fatigue sets in A feeling familiar and unwelcome The monster snaps - teeth reaching out Beat it back to where it came from Sun draws low - our hands draw close In your eyes I see what we've become Off to the next - what lies ahead We both know well what's to come Another monster to kill Always another monster to kill

Hell By God 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Piercing eyes Pale skin Cold as ice Death's kiss everlasting Hunt the night Shadows live Blood rites Reborn this perfect thing Discovery Could it be? One safe place to spend our days? Trickery Trapped in misery But if you're here I'm glad to stay Stinging venom Fainting bliss Singing - Tremble One last kiss Perfection locked into place Complexion like angels sent to hell by god Rejection Shunned as disgrace Abjection Poor angels cast to hell by god So alike yet opposites attract I see myself in you The same demons yet a different tact We see ourselves in you Stinging venom Fainting bliss Singing - Tremble One last kiss Perfection Locked into place Complexion like angels sent to hell by god Rejection Shunned as disgrace Abjection Poor angels cast to hell by god Isle of misery - land of woe They stalk in the night to dine The blood flows Quicken the breath, no warning sign Sticking the neck and that's all she wrote Life among them but left alive Together in the pain we know Staring out, your hand in mine Waves at our feet, a glimmer of hope

Time is a Disease 05:31
lyrics
buy track
The struggle is real Gone forever and never coming back Fake smile just to feel Forget you're here to hold me tall One second I'm fine Next minute I wanna die For hours I spiral I'm sick of my mind Time Time is a ruthless disease Rampaging through me and you Rotting into all we see Ripping its talons through Ruining what we could be Time spites just to break me Killing me All the time stuck in this hell This can't be Shattering my soul to know you can't help One second I'm fine Next minute I wanna die For hours I spiral I'm sick of my mind Time Time is a ruthless disease Rampaging through me and you Rotting into all we see Ripping its talons through Ruining what we could be Time spites just to hate me I'll save you now like you saved me then My shield to your rock as our new world begins Days on days spent beside accounting for our sins The pain doesn't go away but one day we might forget This feels like forever

Beneath the Fire that Burns Our Eyes 07:06
lyrics
buy track
Rite of passage by a hundred days With your flame could see eternity Should we remain until our hair grows grey A satisfied soul will see purity Two tortured souls Two kindred hearts Let the flame control Let the fire leave us charred Beneath the burning sun Bask in the glow that brings us life Beats down the force that breathes us one Beneath the fire Beneath the fire that burns our eyes Another hundred days, learnt peaceful ways Search for a home, a life to build Beyond the coven's gates, a gift from them awaits Peek inside the old world leaves us still Flowing teary eyes Beating broken hearts Forced to say goodbye One last time before we part Beneath the burning sun Bask in the glow that brings us life Beats down the force that breathes us one Beneath the fire Beneath the fire that burns our eyes A thousand days gone since we did depart This life without just cannot be Begging to above for us another start Do you still think about me? One tortured soul Left wondering Dead flame controls Lay still alone pondering Beneath the burning sun Bask in the glow that brings us life Beats down the force that breathes us one Beneath the fire Beneath the fire that burns our eyes
