1. THE IVth CRUSADE
Mortified by the lack of conscience,
Our sanctity bears no relevance.
Insignificance is our existence,
Hear the litany of life's persistence.
Our pleas for mercy fall upon
unhearing ears,
Take my life, my soul, wipe away these
bitter tears.
Vanquished in the name of your god,
One of the same to whom we all pray.
Vanquished in the name of your god,
One of the same to whom we onced
prayed
Try to close my mind - From the
screams I hear,
Repentance is denied, the
conformation of my fear.
2. DYING CREED
Falling are the people of a decaying race,
Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late - too late,
Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance an greed,
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs.
A path of self destruction they cannot see,
Regarding their only interest in profitability - They cannot see,
Open up your mind before its too late,
Unlock the chains of confinement that we create.
Grasping all that you can-overloaded capacity,
Nothing can conceal instinctive rapacity.
A movement to disaster could this be the final plan,
Blinded by our avarice, the closing chapter, extinction of man.
Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance an greed,
On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs.
3. SPEARHEAD
Spearhead marching onwards,
Take my soul sacrificial offering.
Your initial strike taken by surprise,
Now left alone, condemned by my pride,
Drained of all emotion - body now an empty shell,
There's nothing left - you've taken all away
Adrenaline flows,
Now filled with anger,
Just what will be the outcome,
Mass confusion tears my mind.
Spearhead - No victory sublime,
Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you,
Spearhead - to which I cannot hold
With clear perception my destiny unfolds.
I look to the refection, fail to recognise what's seen
A figure closed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be,
Faced by this total stranger - aware of your creation
No vision of the formed self - Controlled by your instruction,
Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance,
Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled,
Now string face to face, your eyes failed with with hate,
Held by your contempt, bought by weakness and by strength.
4. UNLEASHED
Resolute - To the last
Leave no trace - No epitaph
Far beyond - Known territory
Throughout - Times infinity
All now gone - Turned to dust
Instinct survival - None to trust
Fragmented - Lost identity
Non-existence - Reality
To the last...
Superior - Conflict strategy
Ultimate - War machine rolls on
Technology - Totally outclassed
Casualties near total - To the last
A lone survivor
The outcast
All is lost
To the last...
5. RITUAL
Remembering promises,
Once made but now unspoken,
Born of child like minds,
These shadows of the past are now
forsaken.
From the dawn of your first day,
To this death bed on which you lay,
To survive we must comply,
With the ritual of your life.
Can you remember things we said,
The dreams our expectations,
Like ashes scattered in the wind,
There is no recollection.
Throughout the passing years,
Faith will allay your years,
Follow the holy rites,
In the ritual of your life.
Life an endless ritual
Continuation perpetual
Throughout the passing years,
Faith will allay your years,
Follow the holy rites,
In the ritual of you life.
Try to remember if you can,
The pacts we made most solemn,
Hands of time have brought decay,
Those memories are forgotten.
Now as you reach the end,
All pain you must transcend,
When you die you can't deny,
The ritual of your life.
6. WHERE NEXT TO CONQUER
Lost on a voyage with no destiny,
Forgotten original ideology.
Generations born and died,
Their intentions misplaced
through time,
Another world falls to its knees,
With vast contempt your hatred breads,
Nothing left for us to slaughter
Annihilation achieved
Where next to conquer?
Civilisations of the past'
faced attrition now ripped apart,
Moving onwards to another war,
Into battle to die once more.
An endless spiral of depravity,
Mankind's journey throughout infinity.
Where next to conquer?
7. WAR MASTER
Throughout all time
Within the past, present and future
Man has sought to destroy
All that stood in our way
As man fights man
In the epic struggle for survival
The warmaster shall reign
With oppression fed by a burning hate
Hatred of mankind, twisted within your mind
Corrupted by powers unknown, the downfall of this world
The end of your life, beginning of human strife
Destruction of this cripples planet
Warmaster an inhuman prophet
Warmaster
You shall obey all that he commands
Hatred of mankind, twisted within your mind
Corrupted by powers unknown, the downfall of this world
Now once more... we rise to fall
Man's destruction... in the final war
Nothing's left... of the human race
The planet's end... our destiny oblivion
8. AS THE WORLD BURNS
Turn around and shield your eyes,
Don't look back as the earth dies
No tomorrow for eternity'
The apocalyptic prophecy'
Few shall survive the final war'
Our futile lives shall be no more.
Innocent victims of the nuclear glare,
Are torn apart as they stand unaware.
The whole world is radioactive,
What's left of men now unproductive,
None shall escape the fall-out rain,
Our future life shall be steeped in pain.
Feel the chill of the nuclear winds,
Our planets downfall shall now begin.
No excuse for the vast destruction,
Caused by man with no
comprehension.
Life expectancy now decreases,
As atomic warfare rapidly increases,
Our foolish games, what have we
learnt?
No time for sorrow as the world burns.
9. CENOPATH
Alone you stand - The final parody
Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality
Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead
For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread
Never Forgotten - War's memory lingers on
A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion
This solemn image - Constructed with resolution
A monument - To war's terminal conclusion
