Out of Ruin 03:53
I need to kill this feeling inside Cut the cancer out of my life Everything I have come to know Has been destroyed Ripped and torn Here I stand In the ashes of my world You held the torch And watched me burn Your words are knives in my back Your cold eyes seem to lack Empathy, you're killing me It's time I let you go These lies go on cuts sink so deep Wounds inflicted you soon shall reap Our future once so bright Now tarnished, hollow, weak Day by day I draw the line Forcing me to choose a side I feel as though I've lost my mind Gone are the days Forced to feed On the truth you're bending Lies on your tongue Spewing forth Rotting disposition Up in the night When you're gone Fear is suffocating Choke on the taste Lack of faith From your verminous tongue Your words are knives in my back Your cold eyes seem to lack Empathy, you're killing me It's time I let you go I have escaped from the ashes of my world You held the torch But I refuse to burn Ruins of a battered past Won't leave me a broken man Your words are knives in my back Your cold eyes seem to lack Empathy, you're killing me It's time I let you go Take your knives from my back You're killing me You know I'll always want you back I'll never let you go

Eating Dirt 03:23
Broken Another vital piece of me You're human filth Parasitic animosity I'm choking It's time you open up your eyes You gave into hate Your humanity is compromised You gave into hate What will be left of you When the world chews you up and spits you out Only a memory That means nothing to me What will be left of you When the light of your life is smothered out Only a memory That means nothing to me Standing in the wake of your hatred Wounds exposed Bleeding, degraded You are the absence of a soul A human leech, pitch-black And your heart is a hole I found the will to live I am your means to an end What will be left of you When the world chews you up and spits you out Only a memory That means nothing to me What will be left of you When the light of your life is smothered out Only a memory That means nothing to me Your life is smothered out What will be left of you When the world chews you up and spits you out Only a memory That means nothing to me What will be left of you When the light of your life is smothered out Only a memory That means nothing to me There's nothing left There's nothing left There's nothing left Nothing left of you

Black Masts 03:33
Guided by the moon Black sails a mast Silence suffocating The sounds of the attack Breaching the tide The night on our side Black waters rise No one gets out alive Tread lightly Though not to disturb Those at rest in the waters below Carried by mist, rolling in like a fog Iridescent in the moonlight pull Doomed are those souls set to sail The unholy waters of hell Cannons break the silence As sulfur burns the air Lungs overflowing with water Man overboard Breaching the tide The night on our side Black waters rise No one gets out alive Tread lightly Though not to disturb Those at rest in the waters below Carried by mist, rolling in like a fog Iridescent in the moonlight pull A slave to the burden of greed Purged through the bowels of the beast These waters filled with the deceased For as far as the eye can see Breaching the tide The night on our side Black waters rise No one gets out alive Tread lightly Though not to disturb Those at rest in the waters below Carried by mist, rolling in like a fog Iridescent in the moonlight pull Sail to the edge of the world Leaving the wreckage behind

I once believed that all your decisions Were made with our salvation in mind Now at the end My head filled with questions I search for answers I will never find What have you done? The horror unfolds Looking in the mirror I don't recognize me anymore I can't breathe Your hold is constricting Bound by trust now desecrated Let them in with open arms They promise never to cause you harm Exposing your weakness They sink in their fangs You are now trapped here In the company of snakes Gazing at your serpentine reflection Dripping fangs and twisted tongues Punctured by a fatal injection Poison slowly fills my lungs Your lies ensnare my very soul Beneath those scales your blood runs cold Let them in with open arms They promise never to cause you harm Exposing your weakness They sink in their fangs You are now trapped here In the company of snakes Ice festers through a sickening mind I shed my skin Leave it all behind Dreams of the utmost Malevolent kind I find We're all alone in this life Your lies ensnare my very soul Beneath those scales your blood runs cold In the company of snakes Sink in your fangs

Vulturous 04:36
Howling in the desert wind Twenty determined souls press on Visions of riches untold Hungry for gold Oblivious to the trials their future would hold Hopeful of what they would uncover Blind to the ways in which they'd suffer Choking on sand and heat Watch as the vultures circle me The blind leading the blind Sun-bleached bones picked clean The stench of blistering flesh Slowly poisons the air Lost wanderers marching on To graves that the desert prepares Eviscerated Incessant hunger setting in Their doom unstated But each can sense their death within Choking on sand and heat Watch as the vultures circle me The blind leading the blind Sun-bleached bones picked clean The stench of blistering flesh Slowly poisons the air Lost wanderers marching on To graves that the desert prepares Cloaked hand of the reaper Coated in crimson cracking gore Drawing nearer Prepared to collect Every walking corpse Choking on sand and heat Watch as the vultures circle me The blind leading the blind Sun-bleached bones picked clean The stench of blistering flesh Slowly poisons the air Lost wanderers marching on To graves that the desert prepares

So blind to the love that surrounds you Twisted by your mind Depression chokes out the light Misery is taking hold Crushing any kind of hope Losing sight of life You're at the end of your rope Searching for hope Not letting go You've become a deadweight Drowning in your own self-hate Held prisoner In a cell that your mind creates It seems there's no escape But you've got to live for tomorrow And fight for today Darkness is creeping in Hateful and suffocating It seems like you'll never win Self-doubt ensues Bleeding beneath the skin Invisible to everyone but you You've become a deadweight Drowning in your own self-hate Held prisoner In a cell that your mind creates It seems there's no escape But you've got to live for tomorrow And fight for today You've become a deadweight Drowning in your own self-hate Held prisoner In a cell that your mind creates It seems there's no escape But you've got to live for tomorrow And fight for today Searching for hope Not letting go Bleeding beneath the skin Invisible to everyone but you

Crawling out of the shadows On bloody knees Spitting lie upon lie A living breathing disease I know hell has a home for you That you'll suffer and burn For what you put me through Open my eyes To a vicious cycle where Deception is waiting Your noose of lies Around my throat Is this the end? Asphyxiating I know hell has a home for you Ingesting the rot of the forbidden fruit Hollow and hateful Impending doom You cut a hole in my chest And tore my heart from the open wound Your blackened beauty Tainted by the touch of another I thought I knew you But now I see the monster uncovered Open my eyes To a vicious cycle where Deception is waiting Your noose of lies Around my throat Is this the end? Asphyxiating me You killed my trust Betrayed my love Promises cut like broken glass Lacerating my heart Erasing our past Spitting malice twisting love into hate I should've known better than to trust a serpent's gaze Open my eyes To a vicious cycle where Deception is waiting Your noose of lies Around my throat Is this the end? Asphyxiating me I know hell has a home for you You'll suffer and burn For what you put me through

No sword or shield can stop me Fuck your iron will Cloaked in shadow waiting I'll cut you down in stone Here I stand among these Hopeful heroes left to rot A captive audience To applaud my merciless onslaught For all that are dead For those they left behind We seek revenge Ready to conquer, willing to die Gaze into my eyes A monument of life Built upon the dead inside I am not to be trifled with Forever encased in a statuesque State of decay The path is clear This is my destiny Chosen by the gods I'll end her tyranny Into the serpent's den to face her stone-cold glare The path before me reeks of failure But I must prevail I will prevail Gaze into my eyes A monument of life Built upon the dead inside I am not to be trifled with Forever encased in a statuesque State of decay Eyes as cold as the grave Bring death's embrace Hunter and prey Come face to face Gaze into my reflection Face your final reckoning As my blade dissolves your life I am not to be trifled with Forever enshrined in a statuesque Heroic display I'll leave your hellish corpse to rot in a desecrated state of decay

Cosmic Maw 04:00
I am the sun I am absolute darkness The desecration of hope A shadow forsaken, forgotten A seer from the world below For a thousand years I've waited Bound under a godless sky Dark powers once abated Will rise Sweet sorrow, silence, and suffering Apollyon looms over the earth Hopeless saints and faithless hordes Mark true evil's black rebirth When the sun ceases to rise And infinite blackness envelopes the skies I'll shed this mortal disguise Take my true form and consume mankind Fear darkens our eyes A cosmic maw tears open the sky Fall to our knees, an unholy shrine Azathoth rise on the day of God's demise Smoke billows above the collapsing ruin Brother turns against brother As the dark entity looms over the horizon The wind picks up as the giant draws in a breath Summoning a storm Into the throat of the eater of worlds The earth is consumed by fire Blasphemy beckons this last Armageddon In silence the creature devours When the sun ceases to rise And infinite darkness envelopes the skies I'll shed this mortal disguise Take my true form and consume mankind

In a place of sickness and death An angel smiled upon me Her raven-black hair The warmth in her eyes Forever our souls would be intertwined Stitch by stitch I'll make you whole Consumption has taken its toll Forever young and beautiful Glass eyes without a soul The madness never sleeps The sickness is all he needs God faded away The devil remained Trapped in this shell of pain You're falling apart in front of me My God I won't let this be I bathe you in perfumes to hide the decay Stuff you with rags to keep your body's shape Stitch by stitch I'll make you whole Consumption has taken its toll I'll keep you young and beautiful Glass eyes without a soul I will keep you alive Forever you'll be mine For me to keep so cold You're mine Forevermore You're mine Wax skin so cold You're mine I promise you this You can't resist You'll become a part of me The madness never sleeps The sickness is all he needs God faded away The devil remained Trapped in this shell of pain I will keep you alive Forever you'll be mine For me to keep so cold I will keep you alive Forever you'll be mine For me to keep so cold You're mine For me to keep so cold
