1.	March Of The Gods 05:10	lyrics	buy track
Ancient sons of a land forgotten Ripe with a burning to conquer all They're coming, putrid hoards of Gaping mouths dripping tar Hear the earth it trembles with the weight of a thousand strong Black figures arising Ascending through the eyes of fire Hear the cries of aeons left in suffering Creeping closer, feel the terror Ancient prophecy that must unfold Written in stone in the deep abyss They're seeping through the realms below Seeking out to feed their blood lust Is this the end I see the armies of the damned Arriving Rivers drying as hoards of ash Consume the air The blackened sun gives way to skies Of raining fire Revelation through death and despair It's here and now The march of gods so vile Awaiting the end Your soul condemned to damnation Full-scale annihilation Dear god how can this be? Purged of mankind, the earth waits to rot Sifting through the grains of sand The hourglass lies shattered amongst the stones Vanquished the chapter is complete All that's left are memories Memories of the weeping, the screaming
2.	Imperious Divine 06:05	lyrics	buy track
Haunting howls herald the coming of the night Suffocating mists cover the moon's dying light Unforgiving and relentless, unyielding winter austere Endless blizzards long to bury you here Through black trees bearing rotten fruit Festered growths from putrid, ancient roots How long have you waited? Time eroded by endless rain How long have you languished? Centuries of hate and pain So we trudge slowly through it all Meaningless, but a glimpse of hope brings the thaw Reduced to wraiths Icy claws grasp the souls with lack of faith One final journey to death's grim embrace Lines of regret etched into the sinners face Hopeless existence held in a clenched fist Merciful gods do not exist The cold will come and your children will die Behold the reign of imperious divine Now the hounds of hell take flight Chasing the smell of death, hanging in the night Behold, in pitch black the phantom you seek Hear the blasphemies. Of pure evil it speaks Its head raised it stares with sightless eyes With gaping mouth, a statue carved from lies Breathless gaze in terror stand pale Unearthly forms prolong the endless gale The merciless hours of years and ages creep The dreadful strain of thought that never sleeps Freedom for all from hate and lust Grip your black heart and turn it to dust So we trudge slowly through it all Meaningless, but a glimpse of hope brings the thaw Reduced to wraiths Icy claws grasp the souls with lack of faith One final journey to death's grim embrace Lines of regret etched into the sinners face Hopeless existence held in a clenched fist Merciful gods do not exist The cold will come and your children will die Behold the reign of imperious divine How long have you smothered? Begging for one last breath How long have you watched? This sick game of life and death Moulding, twisting your body and your mind How long have you listened? In this hell of fetid darkness How long have you lived this horror? Since you've laid your weary head to rest
3.	The Swarm 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Imperfect and irrelevant swarm The plague we have become Disembodied fragments All has become undone Corrupted memories Only bones and dust remain Essence of magnificence Never seen again Mutilation of the colossus Weakened, released spite Vulnerable deprivations Insults to their kind Grave corruption yet to come Destructive metamorphosis As nothing we are all one Mask of exhaustion and hopelessness Unavoidable, reluctant end Interest has expired None left to repent Every likeness buried and vanished Bones on abandoned shores Memories of the forgotten The parasite lives no more Isolated suffering The swarm breeds within Let the chaos fester We wait as one for the end to begin Spreading disease. Atrocity Corrupted source. Violate Delight and decay. Wretched ruin Infected by the swarm Spreading disease. Cancerous blight Corrupted source. Vitiate Delight and decay. Rotten core Infected by the swarm
4.	Order of Death 04:00	lyrics	buy track
Pages written by contorting hands washed in blood Soaked by the sands of the holy land High priests divided on divinity and blasphemy In a battle of god versus god The living God with armies of men Hold the desert lands Forcing hand of the emperor Decimate, eradicate their invisible deity Purity, they will bow before the order In the palace of man There is no place for the kingdom of God Bleed the neck Behold the elders They violate your claims Awaiting crowds with stone in hand As you rot away in chains Taste the Roman peace The gift of the empire Crucified and mutilated Here lies your Messiah (Order of Death) (Left to hang) Crown of thorns with serpent fangs (Order of death) (Left to hang) Enemy crucified Blood will run upon the cross Prayers to the Roman god's enforced On display behold the martyr Pouring down with holy water Washing hands of the blood guilt In the dark the eyes are blind The veins running black Black with ink on the pages of time Re-write the crime, redefine divinity and heresy Acquire the power to rule over all The strength of God is the cunning of man Behold the elders They violate your claims Awaiting crowds with stone in hand As you rot away in chains Taste the Roman peace The gift of the empire Crucified and mutilated Here lies your Messiah
5.	City Of The Silent 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Under another monument sleeps the dust of war Things never to be known or seen The disgraced The feeble rebellion is no more Temples and statues of dust Remnants of dying gods in a dead world Slaves and priests now praise the dead The sun drowns in dark and they are forgotten again The unworthy, the ceaseless violence All sins cleansed A city in silence Desecrated, crumbled from within The secret's in the ruins Stained with blood and sin Self-destruction Swallowed in madness The process has begun Immortal whispers speak of ancient tales Lives of futile order, an end in chaos Fields of blood and bone A kaleidoscope of horror buried in endless war Antagonism of life and time It comes to take all light Peasants and kings now praise the dead The sun drowns in dark and they are forgotten again The unworthy, the cruel and violent Eternal purgatory City of the silent Civilizations of wasteful pleasure, greed and deceit Disappear forever Liberated from their imperfections
6.	Road To Damnation 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Nothing grows in the home of the damned but manifestations of the dead Where time is lost and memories taken Where winds speak and hope is forsaken They come with rhythms on boats of skin In blood-sunk tunnels from deep within Black flames to set the skies on fire The final mile that climbs to the light The last day before eternal night Rend and rip Tear and sever Rape and ruin Until all is gone The time has come The war on man has begun Burn and butcher this revolting creation Vast, black plains burning higher Merciless casualties of war A world on fire Sing the verse that wakes the dark Speak the words that light the fires Step forth through flame and swamps of rotting flesh Caverns filled with blood and veins Rend and rip Tear and sever Rape and ruin Until all is gone The time has come The war on man has begun Experience such abysmal woe as we drown in hopeless sorrow A scourge the like of which has never been seen The world with all its sin now wiped clean
7.	Statues Of Sorrow 06:56	lyrics	buy track
Mortal born sister of the Graeae Fierce and dreadful Born from the sea The Mighty, the Far Springer and the Queen Ill-fated beauty raped by a god A temple desecrated, incur the virgins wrath Cursed, forsaken, banished to the utmost black Scarred with tusk and tongue The last cracked vision for any to see Armed with the cruelty of the curse Flesh and blood to cold stone Like moths to a fire They burn one by one Of lust and gods denied Unrivalled acts so cruel and violent Now statues of sorrow The dead stand silent Girded with serpents and vibrating tongues Oh, cursed, hideous mortal one Terrible and grim, piercing gaze of stone Bronze hands and wings of gold Monstrous. Blood of the gods Across the oceans of black and beyond Downcast. The misfit. One of the three None to hear her silent screams Exiled. Son of thunder Descendant of Argos Cast out Tricked and deceived by men and gods Helm of darkness Shield and scythe From dust come And dust to leave behind With severing cut Behead the desolate one Bastard scions born from her neck Wailing a dismal lament Mourning the gorgon mother's end On the path of selfish glory Through twisted corridors of praise and scorn From the place of gazing silence and stone The sun long set with its final glow Behind the eyes of the innocent The gaunt face of the all-knowing Into the dark From which it came From her head venomous blood drips slowly Crimson sands stained with serpents To end a life or raise the dead The cure and the fatal poison Of lust and gods denied Unrivalled acts so cruel and violent Now statues of sorrow The dead stand silent
8.	Weavers Of Kismet 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Into the abyss of hopelessness Oblivion reigns supreme No way out, no way through Conflicting emotions wrung from ecstasy Futile incoherence Brief existence so greedily chased A monster grown to devour us all Or to save us from this place Resign to the passage of time Ancient torments to current despair Lick your wounds as the weavers contrive Human existence repeats again The terrible poison that drugged our souls Tearing our lives away Beckons us into the unknown As the years swiftly decay Bring to light that which now lie hidden Mankind stands and waits Trapped in the amber of existence The futility of human fate Join the nocturnal dance of death Soon to disappear Unveiled illusions of future and past Burning visions, all is unclear See yourself dismantled All your denials torn apart For better or worse Face the great revealers of all Resigned to the passage of time Ancient torments to current despair Lick your wounds as the weavers contrive The endless cycle starts again
9.	Carnival Of Plague 04:09	lyrics	buy track
The silence of the night shattered Thunder shakes the earth And in its wake, out of the black Arise the lords of decay Demon-drawn chariots of death draw near On a vortex of black wind and thorns Exhaling venomous breath The carnival of plague is born With sinews twisting, stretching & tearing Black blood through pale veins Corpses from the gallows and corpses from the grave Beings spreading leprosy Undevoted heretics On and on the dying flee the dead Desolate with the weakening eye of the day Taste the disease in the air Before you eyes the horror unfolds Meet its hate-filled stare Humanity united in fear and hopelessness Abhor this morbidity Eternal shadow into which we fall Into hopeless insanity With sinews twisting, stretching & tearing Black blood through pale veins Corpses from the gallows and corpses from the grave Beings spreading leprosy Undevoted heretics On and on the dying flee the dead Absurdity of mankind Saved from mortal imperfection Gaze with a vacant eye All return to dust Emotionless glory of the setting sun No thoughts given to future or past With sinews twisting, stretching & tearing Black blood through pale veins Corpses from the gallows and corpses from the grave Beings spreading leprosy Undevoted heretics On and on the dying flee the dead
10.	The Abyss 05:36	lyrics	buy track
Darkness swirls within hidden depths unknown Descend where no sound or light exists The graves of a million tales untold Slumbering beneath the thunders of the deep Emerges in distress and in nightmares it sleeps It calls from the eternal seas where monsters half-created writhe Unliving and undead None can perceive None knows on what they feed Lord of the abyss Oh do you hear my cry? Leviathan! Lotan! Tiamat! Raise the oceans to the sky Dragon of the abyss Oh hear the spirits call Leviathan! Lotan! Shaitan! Immortality is the law Fear that which dwells in the dark That which threatens to surface Wrenched from the heart of horror The primal terror arises from the phobias in your mind It's ice-shackles prison left behind Man has marked the earth with ruin His control means nothing here Only a dying ship between him and eternity Fathomless infinite, unknown fear. An obscene growth from the dark where incessant hunger thrives The great staring face with lidless eyes The endless open mouth Hypnotic rhythmic caress Ice cold waves devouring warm flesh Down into the abyss Down into the merciless black Lord of the abyss Oh do you hear my cry? Leviathan! Lotan! Tiamat! Raise the oceans to the sky Dragon of the abyss Oh hear the spirits call Leviathan! Lotan! Shaitan! Immortality is the law
