1.	Beast 05:48	lyrics	buy track
You are a Beast Wrapped in a cryptic cloak Sheltered by your lies 'til you go for the throat You are a nightmare Persistent like disease You tear apart everything that we've built Until we're left to freeze And we had everything we could ask for A perfect life with wealth in our hands But you're sustained by breathing our darkness Sapping the life, you're a parasite on our existence You are a... Plague We invite you to die We invite you Beast, beast We command you to die We command you Beast, beast You scrape a soul for every last morsel A starving wretch, like a dog in a cage Fixate your wrath, decimate their defenses Become entrenched and be at one with decay You are a Beast Wrapped in a cryptic cloak Sheltered by your lies 'til you go for the throat Destroyer of the light Deliverer of pain Fill the syringe with chaos And jab it in the vein And we had you right where we want you The noose wrapped... tight 'round your neck Until you found another way to infect us How should you kill a plague-ridden rat? Destroyer of the light Deliverer of pain Fill the syringe with chaos And jab it in the vein We invite you to die We invite you Beast, beast We command you to die We command you Beast, beast
2.	Rise 07:33	lyrics	buy track
Bound and buried, lost... forgotten Left to wither and rot underground Torture in the void... eternal Heed the call, you're honor-bound RISE Tear apart the earth and splinter your coffin RISE Pay heed to the words I've spoken RISE Sunder the earth and break your chains RISE Become the world destroyer Rising, Rise Up Resurrection Rising, Rise Up Your insurrection Wretched constructs of filth and grime You've come to kill and they're next in line Their blood sustains as you cut them down Release the seal and don the crown Skin ripped and torn, still you stand Now more of a beast than a man Searing pain fills your veins As you're lying on the ground, it cuts to black RISE Ready yourself, once again, grave warrior RISE Sharpen your steel it's time for revenge RISE Steady yourself, now begin, grave warrior RISE Become the soul igniter Sinking deeper Suffocation Cryptic cypher No direction At the cusp of the moon Your power ignites Crush their bones with your hands And vanish into the night At the cusp of the moon Your power ignites Crush their bones with your hands And vanish into the night Destined to be Cast from humanity Destined to be Stripped of sanity Go Fight Go And Die Wretched constructs of filth and grime You've come to kill and they're next in line Their blood sustains as you cut them down Release the seal and don the crown RISE Terminate your prey, drain their veins RISE Splinter their bones and cast them aside RISE Slaughter your prey, pierce their arteries RISE Become the sole decider Drifting deeper The dream is over Enter nightmare It's getting colder CRUSHING DESPAIR Enter the nightmare CRUSHING DESPAIR Become the nightmare Become the nightmarew
3.	When Mountains Crumble 06:01	lyrics	buy track
Chaos enraptures as the titans clash once more The earth is groaning as it's shaken to its core Shockwaves pummeling all structures into dust Despite destruction they fight because they must Bear witness to the epitome of epic warfare Bear witness to the end Bear witness to the atrocity of gods abandoned Bear witness to the hate When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble Everything suffers The whole world is quaking Lightning strobes the sky A legend in the making Should anyone survive When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble Everything suffers Bear witness to my victory and I'll reward you Bear witness to the light Bear witness to my enemy laying dead before me Bear witness to decay And in the aftermath we're abandoned once again Our whole existence just a means to an end Empty promises have left us weak and thin Now that we're ready the final culling shall begin Welcome the overlords Bend your knee or you will suffer This is no time for tenacity Give in or face our voracity A sudden flash and concussive blast sends you DOWN ON YOUR KNEES You try to stand but again you're knocked back DOWN ON YOUR KNEES You raise your gaze, through the haze, vision phased, you're DOWN ON YOUR KNEES Don't contemplate, react and act fast, you're DOWN ON YOUR KNEES You make your way to your feet But still you won't admit defeat You make your way through the smoke Your apathy has been revoked When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble Everything suffers When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble When Mountains Crumble Everything suffers
4.	My Scythe Bleeds 04:32	lyrics	buy track
And you feel the icy cold As it's dripping down your neck I've come to collect Now give me your blood My scythe bleeds Fill my needs Streams of blood dripping down Sever the head, break the crown Contain the Almighty Sin Until it rises again Bloodline ender Cleansing corrupted lands Timeline mender Repair the shattered strands Fate defender Cast out the wicked ones Soul reclaimer The great reaping has begun And you feel your heartbeat pounding Fear creeping up your neck I've come to collect I will have your blood Streams of blood dripping down Sever the head, break the crown Contain the Almighty Sin Until it rises again My scythe bleeds Fill my needs And as your light withers away Dawn breaks a new day Fill my needs
5.	Serpentine Queen 05:59	lyrics	buy track
Heat waves form under the blazing sun I've crossed the seas, I've crossed the sands But still I wander searching for her She will be my ultimate redemption Return the fabled missing queen And they will grovel at my feet Serpentine Queen Mother of horrors, terrors obscene Serpentine Queen Daughter of hatred, callous and pain Serpentine Queen Serpentine (Serpentine) Queen Serpentine Queen Daughter of hated, callous and pain Exalt her Don't defy her It will leave you with regret Exalt her Don't deny her Or suffer the outcome of her terrorizing wrath I swear I didn't know what I'd find (know what I'd find) Please forgive me for my sins If only wisdom made me strong in the mind (strong in the mind) But fate had already spun the web Paralyzed in fear you feel the slither of snakes As they crawl on your skin and begin to congregate They constrict and bind 'til they find a way inside The pain you feel is unreal but she is keeping you alive She cackles maniacally As the snakes begin to... tear you apart Ripping, tearing Devouring organs Blood spraying everywhere Drenching everything Guts and gore All over the floor Ripping, tearing Devouring organs Ripping, tearing Devouring organs Now there's nothing left Exalt her Don't defy her It will leave you with regret Exalt her Don't deny her She's torn you into threads

7.	Cauterize Me 04:02	lyrics	buy track
The hot coals beneath your feet A distant cry, the smell of meat You sanctify the ground you touch The pain you feel is all too much Losing Sanity Humanity Losing The choice Your voice And all you think about is what you left behind And all you dream about is wasted by your mind Cast aside The shackles only bind You're left behind Just let the Fire burn free Please cauterize me Fire burning so bright Melt away my sight You're crawling on your knees You're so pathetic You can hardly breathe Succumb to the darkness and be reborn within the flames Molten skin dripping off your bones Recount the sins for which you atone Losing Sanity Humanity Losing The will Lie still And all you think about is how it ends And all you dream about is just dead ends Now rise Rise within the flames Your essence never wanes Become the fire Rise, rise and conquer death Channel dragon's breath Become the fire Solidify Absorb the breath of life Be born again And let the Fire burn free Please revitalize me Fire burning so bright Surround and rid me of this blight
8.	Bone By Bone 05:28	lyrics	buy track
Amongst the waves fog obscures The siren's call forever lures Spellbound by the melody, they shall pay the final fee Give into your true desire, add your voice to the choir Navigate through treachery Divide the seas in reverie A solitary victory, but still beguiled by trickery Drop the anchor, disembark, follow the cries of the matriarch Beware her beauty, illusions take control Her lustful gaze enough to swallow a man whole One kiss from her poison lips will drain you of your soul Gather your wits and resist, before she takes her toll Mare Diaboli Mare Vanidicus Now above you looms a massive structure Filling you with dread Built from bones of men, a wretched horror You will tear it down Bone by bone Treading carefully on approach Upon unholy land you encroach Ethereal flames ignite, the dead rise prepared to fight Their whispers like a scream, a haunting spectral stream She won't exist in any legend No one has lived to tell her tale A Siren's grip so cold and relentless Cries of the dying drowned out by her wail She invades your mind, complete domination Stripping your soul bare Crush your hopes to dust, utter revocation She will break you down Bone by bone Seek your death and you will find it Don't back down, relent, defy it Break her spell, anneal, deny it Pierce the veil, react, destroy it Tear it all down Set their souls free Tear it all down Set them free
9.	Charlatan 05:33	lyrics	buy track
Desperation Screaming for help But you're alone Dethroned Naked and unknown Exhilaration To be born anew And you're divine In your mind The savior Of mankind Come and bear witness To the holy one Come and be anointed Under the sun Exaltation Of the righteous ones Control their lives By design Slaves To the grind A self-declared martyr The only one to take responsibility For the sins begin The moment that you're born But you'll be forgiven Even if you're scorned Follow without hesitation Just accept and tow the line Don't expect an alteration Your reward will come in time Execution The final repent Betrayed by friends In the end Suffer No amends A self-declared martyr The only one to take responsibility For the sins begin The moment that you're born But you'll be forgiven Even if you're scorned Now you've reached your destination Your eternal resting place You will not have your redemption Just a statue without a face
10.	Path of Luminance 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Across the icy wasteland You see an eerie glow A strange sphere of light With many souls in tow Join the great procession Walk the path of luminance Cast aside possession Walk the path of luminance Bury your confession Walk the path of luminance Don't deny obsession Walk the path of luminance Path of luminance! So many straying from the path Easy prey for the hungry ones So entranced they don't even react Keep your wits about you Or become like them too Across a fiery desert The sand burns like hot coals But still you follow the light No matter where it goes Join the great procession Walk the path of luminance Cast aside possession Walk the path of luminance Bury your confession Walk the path of luminance Don't deny obsession Walk the path of luminance Path unending (Mired!) Devotion fading (Coward!) Let me suffer (Betrayer!) Let me live (No!)
11.	The Feast Is Upon Us 05:09	lyrics	buy track
A night of savagery and mutilation A human catastrophe, but for us; elation Waiting a millennium, a powder keg fit to burst Only your blood can ever quench this thirst Run for your lives, run for your lives Run for your lives The feast is upon us Run for your lives, run for your lives Run for your lives The feast is upon us now Demons surround you as your fear ignites within One last survivor, so succulent and thin Kill, feed, grow Kill, feed, grow Kill, feed, grow Kill, feed, grow We'll eat your corpses, we'll eat your kin We'll eat your sorrows, we'll eat your sin Consume your memories, consume your soul Consume your maladies, consume it all Our night of revelry has come to an end We'll wait one thousand years to do this once again For the flesh is tastiest after many generations Satiated we return to hibernation Run for your lives, run for your lives Run for your lives The feast is upon us Run for your lives, run for your lives Run for your lives The feast is upon us now An ill-fated tragedy Foretold by history They took all they could glean Not even one lost soul Now there's nothing left but ivory bone
