1. DRACONIAN RAGE

Lecherous drunks and drunken lechers
Let's start a nuclear war
Empire driven mad in an ancient age
Millions dead a draconian rage

Iron-fisted spite
A loss of self-control
The oncoming storm
Of a timeworn soul

Austere anger
A regime of fire
An age old discipline
Crushed by desire

Lecherous drunks and drunken lechers
Let's start a nuclear war
Empire driven mad in an ancient age
Millions dead a draconian rage

Iron-fisted spite
A loss of self-control
The oncoming storm
Of a timeworn soul

Austere anger
A regime of fire
An age old discipline
Crushed by desire


2. THE DOOMSDAY MANUSCRIT

So it is written the world will end
Burn the parchment of rescind

The Doomsday Manuscript unfurled
Heralding the end of the world

Falling into the wrong hands
Search all life from fertile lands
Ignorance the key to hate
World to end exterminate

Rancid callousness to be enforced
Assimilation there's no remorse

The Doomsday Manuscript unfurled
Heralding the end of the world

Falling into the wrong hands
Search all life from fertile lands
Ignorance the key to hate
World to end exterminate


3. AS LEECHES GORGE

A herd of drones griped in the thrall
Mesmerized into slumber they fall

As leeches gorge
You only consume
You only consume

Sloth-like culture self deceit
Non-productive in retreat

As a dying star
You only consume
You only consume

As a dying star
You only consume

Numb of mind numb of word
Anesthetic human-herd

As leeches gorge
You only consume
You only consume


4. THE EPOCH

Without history
No past in disarray
Negate truths and sanctuaries
Assimilated days
Orthodoxies left for dead
Avow apostasy

The Epoch's proud lament
The days of yore lie dead

Rewrite antiquity
To alter destiny
Anachronistic deadliness
Paradox set free
Existence to be erased
Extant nonentity

The Epoch's proud lament
The days of yore lie dead

As life will fall castigation will await
The Epoch resolute seal your fate

Confront the past so the future is reborn
Re-written history every line redrawn

Rewrite antiquity
To alter destiny
Anachronistic deadliness
Paradox set free
Existence to be erased
Extant nonentity

The Epoch's proud lament
The days of yore lie dead
When the past has been erased
The paradox is praised


5. ADOLESCENCE OF TIME

Extinction event after affect
Dust cloud arise burning the eye
Colonies die fight to survive
Destined to save or enter the grave

Burn and forge in the adolescence of time

Atrophy reigns silent remains
Annihilation obscuring the sun
The passing of youth denial of truth
Adolescence is mourned temporal forlorn

Veil and weep in the adolescence of time

Amongst the wreckage of this ruined world
Open vortex end of life is buried
To rise once more from evolution's slime
Burn and forge adolescence of time


6. BONES OF CONTENTION

Discord ruined - like fighting dogs on carrion cold
Hostility - Cacophony it overthrows
Declare war - bridge the gap and close the brench
Contention's bones - summarily removing the leech

The need to imperil a tempting of fate
Mother of Invention
Now exorcize a cast of the dice
Bones of Contention

Affinity - empathic bond of meeting minds
Animosity - unseeing eyes left to lend the blind

The need to imperil a tempting of fate
Mother of Invention
Now exorcize a cast of the dice
Bones of Contention

Nothing else remains
Mortal knell intones
A shot in the dark
To roll contention's bones


7. DEAD MAN'S SWITCH

Incapacitate vigilance controlled
Seek victory by delay desperation holds

Fail deadly - fail safe
Dead man's switch - for the human race

Hybridized active yet inert
Initial systems armed raise the red alert

Fail deadly - fail safe
The balance of life - in a Dead Man's Switch
Mourn the human race

Incapacitate active yet inert
Seek victory by delay raise the red alert

Fail deadly - fail safe
Dead man's switch - for the human race
Fail deadly - fail safe
Dead man's switch - for the human race


8. A HANDFUL OF DUST

A handful of dust caught in the threat
Fragments of the past on which you begin to choice

Subterfuge beneath the surface
Disclose confessions
Recognize and acquiesce
So accept your dirt obsession

In a handful of dust lies a portal to the past
Scrutinize corruption and it's decadence is revealed at last

Digging through the neons
Time and again
Deep in decaying filth
Down among those long dead men

Down among those long dead men


9. INFERNAL NEXUS

Static control - chaotic bond
Infernal nexus the union strong

Rivalry the power play
Wind the irons well
Fettered and surrendered
Infernal nexus hell

Drenched in flames right down to the core

Precise connection attract cannot resist
Inter-dimensional Hell to exist

Rivalry the power play
Wind the irons well
Fettered and surrendered
Infernal nexus hell

On the path of least resistance dwells
Malignant nexus infernal

Serpentine beliefs
Connection to the core
Infernal nexus hell lore


10. DEAD MEN DIARIES

Preserve the past safeguard the future
Under the threat of death
Dictate the dead men diaries
Archive their ultimate breath

A chronicle post-mortem
Memoir inanimate
Last words of the obsolete
A resume of fate

Remembrance committed
Transcription of the dead
Ghost writers formulate
Words remain unsaid

A chronicle post-mortem
Memoir inanimate
Last words of the obsolete
A resume of fate

Golgotha's opuscule the tome of tombs
Hieroglyphic ossuary scribal catacombs

A chronicle post-mortem
Memoir inanimate
Diaries of the dead men
A legacy too late


11. VENUS MANTRAP

Witch of entrapment
The morning star
Turning heads with deadly force
Hostile avatar
Aggressive bitch deception
Her stratagem
Tenacious 'fore the ambush
Devouring men the morning star

Venus mantrap - carnivorous countess

Diabolic charmer
At the siren's hail
Necromantic seduction
Commence the banshee whil
Bewitch another victim
Protagonist unheathing claws
Huntress proud
Open wide the mantrap jaws the morning star


12. DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN

Hear me among the dead men
A void for every corpse
Ashes and clay dust and decay
Corruption end towards
Epoch at an end into ground descend
Down among those long dead men

Hear me

Fear me among the dead men
Inferno compels
Perdition hurled to the nether world
Return to nexus: Hell
Epoch at the end to Hades descend
Down among us long dead men

Fear me


13. STONES LAMENT

Artifacts unearthed
Rage lament bemoan
Breur your isolation
You are not alone

Agitation execration in the aftermath
Monumental relics artisans of a future past

The stone lament
Deafening it's scream
Cognizant and sentient
Awakened from a dream

Agitation execration in the aftermath
Monumental relics artisans of a future past

Hear the stones lament
Vociferate and vent
A banshee revenant
Laud the torment

Weeping monoliths
Dust of a thousand years
Simulacrum testament
To the smile behind the tears

Agitation execration in the aftermath
Monumental relics artisans of a future past
