1. PREMONITIONS OF THE INFECTED

Reaching for the other side from this darker side of faith
Losing myself to remain once more
My spirit starves
With every ounce I fade away
Denying the solace of your hands
Screaming and clawing
This dirt beneath my nails
I want to hear your songs again
Singing over me
How devious, the all consuming fear
Igniting the enemy of myself
I felt it all
I lost it all
To think I’ve known the pain
To think I’ve known the fear
When your shoulders have felt it all
Though I pull at the mask that hides my shame
I shall not lose your name


2. DROWNING BENEATH

Ashes of mortal remnants
Withered into dust
The plague of humanity
Drowning beneath the flood
Bound by promise
Afflicted by consequence
To seek a new dawn
From the ruins of ridden mortality
What will we seek
That needs to be found
How can we breath
When we deserve to drown
The great collapse of all we are
Justfully submitted into the hands of brokenness
Tears forever released into the flood
Delivering us from this wretched drought
All I am, All I was
Drowning beneath the flood


3. THE LONGEST THORN

Carnal vision manifested in my eyes
Too long I've spent in years of regret
To uphold sight of blissful beauty
Redirecting malicious intent
Repeating days of dreadful memories
Consuming every ounce of life
To rob the inglorious splendor
Only to long for in despise
Wisdom too great for this social state
Power destined from beyond
External observation
Mental disintegration
The chaos breeds within
Taking my time
Wasting my time
A hate years so divine
Ripped apart and burned away


4. VIOLENCE

Violence
Another way to hate
Another way to kill
We don’t see eye to eye
We don't think the same
And I watch my back
From the ones that feed on life
So eager to strike you down
Wanting you to feel the pain
I can’t believe we breathe the same air
God help me contain this rage
Your rotting away
Get on your feet
How does it feel to rob such virtue
Does it make you feel
Larger than yourself
Trying to take our
Our enduring hope
And now you're rotting away
Embrace the Love within
There is still time for you
There is still time


5. CAVERNS

I have fallen away from you light
Spiraling into a cycle of disgust
My grave waits on a cold soul
Deprived of your divine breath
The slow process of suffocation
The nourishment of your being
I cannot live without
I feel it lingering
I won’t go back
To the life you called me from
Dismantle the storm within
To see you path
Carved in me
Hollow places
Left unseen
Hidden spaces
Carved mountains into my soul
The hollow places where I choose to hide
Coldness of caverns unseen
Hidden spaces of glooming light


6. AVULSION

(Instrumental)


7. DEATHCRUSHER

Behold the Deathcrusher
The armageddon
The apocalypse
The crown is upon his head
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet, all will confess
Human hands cannot corrupt
Human tongues cannot defile
In his midst, nothing is hidden
His existence covers the lands
His voice reaches the depths
The crown is upon his head
And the keys are in his hand
Who can come against
Who can withstand
At his feet all will bow
At his feet all will confess
Jesus Christ is king


8. DESCENDING UPON THE DECEASED

The dirt up to my eyes
Lungs about to collapse
Skin begins to break
Embedded in the earth
Time could never heal
The wounds inflicted deep
Years of abuse
Quietly self-induced
Life portrays a silence
A calm wind of sorts
Pale faces pass
In this quiet hell found cold
Years of abuse
Bound my thoughts
The memories of old
One with myself
Frail and damned within
Enthroned in silence
Split down the middle
Beneath your gaping flesh
Broken over me
