1. MORTALITY

And I watched hope die in vain
As my heart burned to the color of night
Through the corners dark
We wander lost
While the promise of a future bright
Fades to bitter dust

From the eyes edge bleeding
A shadow curtain
Where time ticks down to the end
When you stare too long at infinity
The void shall answer all your worthless questions
...with death

Loss is day by day
War of attrition is the rule of the world
Well we only want
Enough for us
To try to save us from the sight
Of the monsters we've become

Your fears are real
Past the shadow curtain
Where time ticks down to the end
When you stare to long at infinity
The void shall answer all your worthless questions
...with death

It's a nightmare to live in the world
A little soul has died and gone
At the rise of every sun
It is terror that writhes in the world
A bitter emptiness has dawned
At the rise of every sun
We are horror walking the world
Hope for humanity has gone
At the rise of every sun

Libera Tu Temet


2. SOME HELL I KNOW

The screech of steel breaks the crystal night
Waiting for the final ride
Into the depths as I drag you down to some hell I know

Blood on the avenue
Screams from this black venue
Abbatoir theatre
Where blade strikes bone

Straight to the harvest, all those who descend on this final road
This fatal road

Who will know you've gone?
Who would know to mourn?
In the glint of the pale lights
Bled dry and cold
Devoured by those who've dwelled
In the dark since the world was young

Faster and faster
To your destined disaster
Where you shall find the eyes in the night
Hungry and sharp of teeth

Hell on wheels under the heart of the city
Where the missing meet the maw of the void
In a flash of steel and the spray of blood
Nightfall shall find me hard at work
Culling the herd


3. LOST IN ECHOES

I've been staring from the outside
In the distance where the empty floods my soul
I've been drifting ever further
I am fading to a place austere and cold

Shattered fragments of who I used to be
Cut by the shards that fall on me
I am bleeding to death here, you know
Out of control, lost in echoes

In my mind there's no tether
From where I stand to the edge of a dark unknown
When you see me, you can't touch me
You are only shaking hands with a ghost

Perhaps I wandered the savage garden for a bit too long
Out here in the ruined ether
Lost sight of the stars that drive me on
Perhaps I wandered the savage garden for a bit too long
Out here in the disconnection
Lost sight of the stars that drive me on.

There's a poison flooding through the fractures
Of a broken shell I used to know
I wondered as I'm drowning
If I'd see your face before I'm truly gone

Desolation tearing out my heart

Fade away.....


4. INTO BLACK HORIZONS RIDE

Do not confuse the light that shines for a halo
It's etching misery into your soul
The pathos bleeds through where the illusions are worn
Like a frail distant cry echoed through a black door

I know the depths of your desire to be free
You'd seek salvation in the arms of agony
Dark nameless feeling that burns you like a flame
To this ruined haven let it burn you the way

I see you crawling on the edge of oblivion
Wearing your life just like a crown of pain
Are you still searching for answers in some grey, weary world?
That which can't be denied surely must be endured

I know the depths of your desire to be free
Open rebellion to this daze of apathy
A whisper in the dark like a razor in your brain
On an altar of scars let it cut you the way

Can't you see what's lying just beyond the veil?
Can't you hear it ringing like the summon's bell?

Corruption now,
It's all hollowness now
Drawing like a noose around your neck
When all you see lies empty, rain and failure
You can sink with me into the void
To the black light...

Under Leviathan...

Alive inside the restless night that you wander
A shadow speaking from the wounds inside
To the abyss in your heart and the empty in your eye
Reach across the threshold, into black horizons ride.


5. FEAST OF THE FALL

Frost is falling on the corners of the Earth
In the season of the winds
Dark, bitter days drown out the sun and stars
Underlying a sense of final dread

Cry of the wolf
Devourer's jaws ever so near
Ringing like a curse inside your ears

Blood is spilling to the borders of the land
In the season of the sword
Where brother kills brother
The just can never live
The rotten triumph
In a forsaken land of betrayers
Who kill for whatever's left
By the swing of war's hammer
The minds of man possessed
The beast is loose on a feast of endless death

Search the burning skies
With blood on your hands
Looking for a saviour?
But don't you know?
That "The gods are doomed, and the end is death"
As the twilight falls, they're lost to their destiny now...

Only silence and bloodstains reign in the halls of the slain
A cloven dawn for the day to end all days..

Teeth are shredding at the face of Mother Earth
In the season of the wolf
No mercy, no victors
Where the final conflict raged
The heavens crumble
In the maw of the great devastation
That leaves the world a ruined, lifeless stone
Screaming through the black forever


6. BREAKNECK

The grip of violence comes on
Like a punch right through your skull
This terror is crushing you
At the speed of rage

Yeah, you can bleed in disbelief
A fatal chaos dawn
Breakneck

Hatred burning in my head
Man, I know how to use it well
When I turn your world into a
Fucked up ground zero hell

In all out screaming agony
The final impact comes

You see me coming around
Better run for your fucking life
You'll be so fucking dead
They're gonna have to bury you twice

Yeah, you can bleed in disbelief
I'll tear your world apart


7. THE EVE

With the weight of 2000 years tied 'round your throat
I'm going to laugh when you sink like a stone.
How many ruined lifetimes does it take
To prop up morals you don't even own?

Life, on the day of torment
Strife, for the day of joy
Dawn, for the age of fire
Downfall, for the stars of the gods

So hard to find your way out of a labyrinth of lies
When you're dragging a corpse
Of a fate that plants you under the reaper's scythe
A suffocation before you were born

Now, is the day of torment
Wherein lies the day of joy
Dawn, for the age of fire
Downfall, for the stars of the gods.

Progress
Is only made
By those
Who vow
To never
Blindly serve
Slavery
And chains
Are what remains
Behind the wall of faith.

You hurl your tears at the empty skies
It's all you've gained by relying on providence
Your gods have left you no place to hide
When your day comes
Nowhere you go will be spared from the flame

And they gathered in the sunset,
As the twilight closes in.
Hear the whisper through the curses
Say your empire's falling in.
All your rotten ways
May they burn away
In the fire of the dawn
When the embers have gone
Know that we can live
Without you, after all......

But the path we're on would never see the sun rise upon tommorrow's dreams..

Only millions marching faceless
To the dead men's ancient lies
Tunnel vision for the chance of grace
Makes for blinders to the why.

Our arrogance built redeemers in the skies
And a hell of this earth.
And while you argue and murder
Till the end of time
I will not bow
I'll not kneel
I will not serve..
