1. THE GENESIS OF MISERY

(Instrumental)


2. AN EDIFICE OF ARCHBEASTIAL IMPURITY

Plumes of smoke escaping the edifice
A carving from the visions of the end
Ultimate founder of this world
A tribute to the archbeast and his reign of eons
Man forgot of the horrors of this world since the gates closed
Now reopened man holds no natural defence against the living
Demented populations. Wandering through the gateways inside
Violence spreads a massacre of the inhabitants
Bow down to your overseer the only mercy shown will be a quick death
Sentinels warn the end is nigh
Lost across the plains of despair
An edifice for tribute
Rising from the...
In this realm of infinite distances
Isolated in this desolation. Suffering
Ultimate founder of this world
A tribute to the archbeast and his reigns of eons


3. ABOMINATIONS CREATED THROUGH DIVINITY

Disciples of the reverence
Growth of primitive hunger
Within the enlightened impurity spreads
Throughout the followers a metamorphosis begins
Traits of the beast recognised

Canines sinking into holy flesh
This abomination
It feeds on human flesh

A demonic possession only cured by death
Their hunger is satisfied

Only through literal eurachrist

Once messengers of the false
Now entombed in their flesh

Blind followers of the trinity
Begins their carnivorous rampage upon themselves

Once messengers of the false
Now entombed in their flesh
They reside in their
World of misery

Blind followers of the trinity
Carnivorous rampage
Blind follower


4. THE PROMETHEAN ALTAR

And he bleeds. And he begs. For final forgiveness
And he bleeds. And he begs
The disciple fooled, the prophet false
Shrouded in shadows misread, were the scriptures

Punished to the man, he who preached about false origins
Original text of meaning of where it all began
Flow a new era will reign with a final belief
Caught to the masses who could not comprehend

Power it could wield
Shrouded in shadows misread, were the scriptures
Punished to the man, he who preached about false origins
Dredging into life

Built from within the murk. Judgement
Death. Crawl towards end. Rotted
And he bleeds. And he begs. For final forgiveness


5. VULTURES DESCEND

Their icon of hope nailed down, bound by steel
Bleeding for his crown. The Golgothian monument
Rising from the earth, sentenced to suffer
Screams turn to whimpers
Baked under the sun. Skin blistering
Vultures circle overhead waiting for their prey
Abandoned on his cross.

His toll truths were lies. Sentenced to suffer
The messenger bloated, half eaten. The prophecies unfulfilled
Picked apart. Exposed muscle. A failure to his father
Abandoned on his cross on the mountain of Golgotha

Vultures descend

Abandoned by his father disciples witness the decay of their lord
The messenger bloated. A failure to his father's plan
False messiah stripped bare on his symbol of suffering


6. PYRES BUILT FROM THEIR SEVERED WINGS

A connection between two realms
The bridges that fills the void
Inside a path to an untouched world
Spewing forth from a worldly pain and despair

Adaptions to sickness. Unaware skies not red
Falling into the darkness. Consumed by the bleak
Gateways opened a connection between two realms
Silhouettes stalk from a distance

Appearing from the shadows
Sentenced to worlds of misery
Screams coming from the depths of canyons
Nowhere safe in bloodlands

Ominous structures leer downwards
Adaptions to sickness. Unaware skies not red
This place is changing me


7. CHTHONIC GATEWAYS

The angelic descending onto barren realms
Sent to reclaim what was...
Not prepared for the obscure
The dwellers, their appearance sickening

Fueled by hunger.
Their strength and barbarity grew.
Adapted to violence.
Their assault aimed to injure

Devout followers crushed into submission
Connective bones ripped from their spines,
Now they lie dead. Now laying wingless
Destruction of the trinity

Pyres built from
Sunken eyes. A hardened shell of infection
In their blood images of reflection
Sent to, reclaim, what was...

Blinded by the fires of their own limbs
The dwellers their appearance sickening
Fueled by hunger, their strength and barbarity grew


8. MEGALITHS OF DESPAIR

Megaliths. Despair

Sentenced to wander in barren realms

Wandering for years through desolation

No longer do I possess a name

Megaliths. Despair

Sentenced to wander in barren realms

Emptiness

Colours ceased since dawn of time


9. FORCED ADORNMENT OF THE FUNERARY CROWN

Crushed by our iniquities
Deriving from the fall of man
Symbolising the rejection of faith
Cast into our judgement
Denial of his false wisdom
A prophet...
Sentenced To Degradation
Suffering in complete agony
Forced adornment of the funerary crown

The thicket pierces flesh
Instrument woven for humiliation
Disciples witness their lords fall
Vision obscured by seeping fluids
Soon to be lead to...
Golgotha

Behold the man not god
Adornment of the crown deserved

Preparing a supposed messiah
Now to be erected before the crowds
Abandoned

Crushed by our iniquities
Deriving from the fall of the king of nothing
Behold the man not the god

Destined to be ripped from the earth
Placed upon the head of the ridiculed.


10. SENTINELS OF THE BLEAK

Guardians of the shadow throne
Clouds gather overhead
The skull bares down on the followers.
It holds their gaze mesmerized by the void, sees their soul
Bleakened skies
Clouds gather overhead
Sentinels emerge from within scattered craters
Tribute to a former god
Hordes of light diminished under the bleak
Captured bound stripped of their wings
Tentacles feeding on their Misery
Dragged through the halls. Thrown into the...
Pit within filled with embers to incinerate
Their ashes billow from above the crown
They, protect the megalith
All that is left inside is a former angel
Guardians of the shadow throne
Clouds gather overhead
Sentinels emerge from within scattered craters
Formed from the murk.
