Hollow Blood
04:58
|
|||
Set out for the mountains
with the promise of renewal
With followers by my side,
I'll journey far from home
Our quest for elation
is met with allurement,
temptations for the weaker men,
to crumble the spirit
Set out to find
eternal piece of mind,
we walk through the broken
fragments of lost time
Stray from the path
the weak will ride
From fragile hearts,
all hollow blood will die
The first is of wine,
to poison the soul
A follower withdraws the climb,
for he's found his new home
Contentment enchants us,
lost to all this revelry
In the midst of this absurdity,
I will leave my only friends
I persist this climb
to a world unscathed,
by defect unstained
A vow not set in vain
At the base of the mountain
lay the weakest of all
Try as the might, their persuasions are weak
I'm left unturned by the words of the meek.
Destroying these men, along with their gods
Slaughter the ones of frail, hollow blood
I've reached the mighty summit
where the gods were said to dwell
Met with only cold darkness
The solitude's enough for me.

From Under A Dark Sun
06:18
|
|||
High above in blackened sky
A beam of weakened light
Below lay a wounded earth
Lost, and beneath the ice
In desperate need of renewal
A new source will come
Deep within the frozen earth
A power outshined by none
The dawn of a new
The birth of a giant
Amidst our cosmic void
Earth becomes the tyrant
Give the system a stronger center
From under a dark sun
Shift to unveil a path
Plates now make way
An instant reaction of
Glass formed in laze
The prophecy has come to pass
And the newborn child burns
Infant among decaying stars
Light has now returned.

Arcane Haze
05:01
|
|||
Fed on a proper
Well rounded diet
Comprised of shallow dreams
And low hanging fruit
Spread the word of the way
Life should be changed
Their words are taken in
By desperate lifeforms
I've seen this all before
And know how this will end
In an arcane haze
Lost within this web
Unable to see
Reality from fiction
There is hope for the
Ones who will follow
Directions from malevolent
Misguiding hands
Take a second
To step back
Embrace your existence
Embrace your reality
I've seen this all before
And know how this will end
Lost within this arcane haze
Drowning in a thousand ways
To live without ever knowing
Just how to escape this maze

Mastery

From the dawn of time
To the end of all that is
I will live
Outside the mortal realm
A parallel beside
The path of all mankind
As i please
Ill traverse inside and out
All the laws defied
To find that which should not be
Let me live
For all eternity
Through the art
Of sacrifice
I have found
Fulfillment
Mastery
In self advancement
To enhance
Existence
Flesh, unscathed
Mind, untamed
As the bounds of life do not confine
All the laws of time, defied
Centuries have passed
And none but i have seen
All there was
All that is and shall ever be
Apathy has taken
Hold of all my being
I have grown
To yearn for mortal flesh
Through the art
Of sacrifice
I have found
An answer
Now I wait
Forever still
Amidst the cold
Lifeless remains

Curse Of Time
05:11
|
|||
None will remain
When time is fully satisfied
With all it will consume
Decrepit, rotting flesh
A shell for a decaying heart
Is there a way
to escape my ever crumbling tomb?
Curse of time
Eroding every grain
Bit by bit we slowly drift
Into the open Sea
Crippled, broken bones
Encasing for a battered soul
There is no way
To outlive our ephemeral piece of time

Under Fibrous Shield
06:00
|
|||
Deep within a labyrinth
of intercalated disk
undisturbed from it's slumber,
a beast in blood red mist
Dark, the world of this hidden god
for it has never seen the sun
Grant me access to this place,
to stir the foul one
Where the world is pure,
under fibrous shield,
there lies untouched reserves
of hate
Somewhere in these catacombs,
the secrets lost to time
Magic, mana, mayhem
Raw untapped might
Where the world is young
under fibrous shield
there lies untouched reserves
of life.

Lingering Cold
04:02
|
|||
Crawling through the wind
Seduced by fading light
The hunter of the weakened heart
Lingers at your back
Dread those freezing winds
And hope that you find shelter
From the ever hungry wolf
Arising from the black
Crawling
Haunting
With those frigid claws to lay upon another
Undeserving soul within their darkest hour
Watching, waiting and laying in wait
The unrelenting bastard of the cold
Calling through the wind
The echoes can be heard
Warnings of the coming storms
Tales of loss and error
Take to heart these words
Sounds of those forgotten
Therein lies protection
From the black hearted terror

Without Solution
06:16
|
|||
The pursuit
For life
Happiness
And pride
Seems to not
Invoke drive
Amongst the weakened
Minds of men
Will this continue
Forcing us to grow
To face the world and see
Only what could be burned
Will always be in vain and
Futile for future sons
On shoulders
We stand
Above the ideas put in place
By better, stronger, far greater men
Arrogance
and ignorance.
lost in dissolution,
Clueless, and without solution.
Hidden by a veil
Your selfish desires
and greed
Swallowed by your fear
Deny your intent
Why
Does it seem
Those who preach
Opposition
Remain
In perpetual
Decay
And just aren't ever
Satisfied
