Cast the stone
And force the ripples
Into a sea of black.
A golden coin
to pay the boatman
To ferry my way.
Time stands still for no one,
As the flesh world fades away,
I give up on all belonging to me.
Where has it all gone?
Nothing remains.
Stand upon the images reflecting me.
How could I avoid this eternity
Laid out before me?
Bury your dead,
Nothing here remains,
Eye for an eye,
The laws of man.
The underworld replete with souls,
Haggard visages stare hollow
As I walk into perdition.
My form crumbles into dust,
As flames consume my bones,
To see the burning king
Upon his burning throne.
The stygian river beckons us,
A chiding death knell,
The woeful voice of fate
Resounds throughout hell.
Bury your dead,
Nothing here remains,
Eye for an eye,
The grand design.
Haros has seen the font of man,
And found it wanting.
Abominations in the eyes of the gods.
Heretics, idolaters,
Stand oppressed within the circles
The apex of sickness enshrined.
An eruption of fury
As the gates of hell are opened.
The demons let loose,
To terrorize the human world.
An end to humanity,
Fulfilling the prophecy,
The burden of Charon
Shall never be eased.
Bury your dead,
Nothing here remains,
Damned to wander the shores.
Eye for an eye.

Created - disfigured,
An idiocracy born of illusion.
Corrosive - abhorrent,
Elusive reveries of minds
Long forgotten.
Venturing down a path of destruction,
Unbeknownst to weaker minds.
Forging ahead without remorse,
(Consuming, deforming - spread like a plague).
Factories spill forth chemical waste,
(Reducing humanity to a fine paste).
BLEURCH!
Erasing the world one step at a time,
Increasing the pace of extinction
There is no tomorrow
There is no today
The end of humanity
Is but seconds away...
Vociferous digression,
Calamity is our obsession
You grind your fingers to the bone
And live a life only to die alone.
Inherent mistakes within the form
Stuck inside this fucking pub!
Your life's three choices:
Pissed, mullet, lame!
Erasing the world one step at a time,
Increasing the pace of extinction
There is no tomorrow
There is no today
The end of humanity
Is but moments away...
Vociferous digression,
Coveting our possessions
A slave to objects, liars and thieves
Clinging to broken beliefs.
(SOLO)
There is no tomorrow
There is no today
The end of humanity
Is but seconds away...
Vociferous digression,
We never learnt our lesson
We burnt the world to ashes
And dug our children's graves.
Vociferous digression,
Calamity is our obsession
You grind your fingers to the bone
And live a life only to die alone.

Genocide Suicide (24Bit)

Confused by the crowd,
Gaining no followers,
Commit
Genocide Suicide
Log in, space out,
Fail to feel satisfied
Denied!
Genocide Suicide
You'll never get what you want
Or what you need
You are alone in a world
of vanity
Sacrificing your identity
Genocide suicide!
You've lost all your hope
Consumed by your pain
Give in
Genocide Suicide
Disintegrate your
faith completely
Lose yourself
Genocide Suicide
I can't stand all this apathy
Offering up your innocence
Demons walking right beside me
Tearing apart my sanity
You'll never get what you want
Or what you need
You are alone in a world
of vanity
Sacrificing your humanity
Genocide suicide!
The rot sets in now it's time
to lose
We fail
Genocide Suicide
Dystopian world
Socially outcast
Genocide Suicide!
Genocide
Suicide
Genocide
Suicide
Suicide!

Ignatius (24Bit)

Dead inside
Numb to all
Unprepared
For the fall.
A dark passage
Leading downwards
This wretched creature!
How can he be my brother?
Those foul Saracens
Must have imprisoned him here!
No! No! Why!?
Who has done this to you?
Who are your tormentors?
Where are they hiding?
In the dark!
He has become
His own aggressor
This fragile form
A ruined existence!
You're sick!
You hold the key!
Sympathy is lost on you!
No!
Weep for me!
Leave him be
Afflicted soul!
We must depart
The empty hearts
Broken daughters and sons
Of the fiery one!
They are lost to the void!
Dead behind the eyes!
A twist of fate
In a world of hate
Downward we spiral
Our brother Ignatius
In chains!
Ignatius in chains!
Ignatius in chains!
Ignatius in chains!

Before The Dawn (24Bit)
04:27
|

Strip the flesh - I feel the moon,
It's calling me.
Embrace it,
Transformation in full speed.
Justify the hunger rage
Consuming me.
End this before the hunt
and killing spree.
Long to fill the driven rage,
Controlling me.
How long before the beast
consumes me?
Hell awaits
For the demon beast
Inside of me.
Eternity: curse to feel the agony.
Feel the sway of the cold moon,
Bones and flesh shift far too soon.
Claw and bite,
Rip and shred,
Feel the flesh,
Ripped from your head.
Before the Dawn,
All will end.
Pray for mercy,
End the nightmare.
Bloodlust driven to feed
the beast within.
Cursed 'til the rising sun,
Cleanses me.
Urge to kill,
All that lays before I see.
How long before the thirst
Consumes me?
Time will pass,
Yet the killing spree,
Will remain on me.
Passions of a darkened force,
Inside of me.
Upon the moon,
Shedding skin to set it free,
Awaken the beast that lies,
Inside of me.

A damned species,
Headed for extinction.
Deluded and crippled,
A conscious virus.
Belief!
The refuge of cowards,
Marching
On towards the end.
Now you'll learn the truth:
Even the best of us are scum!
The weight of your virtue
Tips the scales unbalanced
Malevolence prevails
The lighting of the torches
Carried by the worthless
To burn non-believers.
Humanity's corruption absolute
Even the best of us are scum!
Look what we've become!
A monument to the richest of thieves
Even the best of us are scum!
Blegh!
Ascend to the throne of sin
Drink from a chalice of leper's skin
Witness insurrection
An end to your reign
Purge the infestation
Never begin again
Seeing through the eyes of the innocent
Guilt consumes your fragile form.
Even the best of us are scum!
Look what we've become!
A tale of futility told by slaves
Even the best of us are scum!
Catastrophic entities
Even the best of us are scum!
Regret life forever
Worldly things will soon decay
Even the best of us are scum!
Hopelessly falling into the void.
