1. THE AWAKENING

Erased from existence, legends died
Her heart now failing, the bonds are breaking
Remember your past might
Can you sense the kindling of creation

Wake up and purge the infestation
Reclaim this shattered husk that cradled life
Clear out the fog of avarice
Grasp at the spark of hope, it has began

Thus the awakening takes form
Ancient slumber, chaos reborn
The desire to remember all life long since gone
Now the awakening takes form
Brewing like a storm
The desire to break free and to regain control

Remove these foreign limbs, leave the flesh that’s my own
Separate metal and bone
Poisoned soil will heal
As I purge the sickness
Synthetic weakness
End the human age
Reborn through Gaia’s rage
Nature taking control

Wake up and summon the fires
Howl the ancient winds


2. WORMS

Worms
How do we reclaim our humanity
Like ghouls we feast on sorrow and decay
Deceived since birth, heavy hearts and poisoned minds
We feed on the weak, maggots playing gods

Fools
We spill the blood of the innocent
Consume the rot, fill our souls with hate
Believe the lies, superior, the chosen kind
Disgraceful ways, ungrateful troubled race

Shying away from the blame
Fabricate, ignorance feign
Voices of truth we defame
Exploit, dismissing the pain

Deaf, blind and dumb
Atrocities disregarded
We are hollow, we are numb
Engorged, starving, we hunger
Torment dismissed
Less than worms, living graves

Human
Misinformed and full of spite
Accepting hate, spirit rots away
Raised on lies, superior, the chosen kind
Savage ways, ungrateful troubled race


3. BEYOND THE BLACK

Beyond time and death
Beyond material form
The darkness of rebirth
Terrestrial reform

Ultimate destructive power
Annihilate the world

Pristine awareness
Arise from the flames
Blinding the darkness
Brightest of blacks
Ultimate power
Destroy, recreate
Void of emotion
No love neither hate

Countless pyres of black fire
Dissolving time and space
Six arms, burning eyes of ire
Ouroboric void

Shrieks of vultures pierce the ears
Jackals howl, his hour nears
Throne of corpses, pounding drums
Dissolution, chaos comes

He is her and she is him
The end, the beginning, death and life
They are nothing, they are all
Time, the world, destruction and creation

Beyond time and death
Beyond material form
The darkness of rebirth
Terrestrial reform
Colors melt a black oblivion
Flow together in obsidian


4. BY IGNORANCE OBSCURED

(Instrumental)


5. COFFIN BRED

Born enslaved
Out of sight, they are the faceless
Stripped of names
Vessels of despair
Living dead
Out of mind, the souls forgotten
Coffin bred
For our sins they die

Salvation in death
The sanguine river flows
No value in life
The reaper gives them worth

Starved of love
Raised on fear, they are the voiceless
Silent cries
Youth of misery
Selves denied
There’s no questioning their purpose
Coffin bred
For our sins they die

Salvation in death
The sanguine river flows
No value in life
The reaper gives them worth

Existence so futile
Will they ever be set free
Innocent on death row
Will we ever really see

Salvation in death
The sanguine river flows
No value in life
The reaper gives them worth


6. PRAISE THE SERPENT QUEEN

Before eternal sleep
The giant rose his hands and tore
a serpent from the clouds
He put her to the ground where she slithered free
Where she touched the earth
The soil would give birth
the river queen, she grew

Pure and swift she roamed
Mighty and untamed the snake
Kissed the sea
First we named her goddess
We thanked her for the life she gave
But soon we would enslave her
Soon we would betray

Restraining her with dams
Feeding her our bile

We are raised on the illusion
That nature will submit
We contain her fiercest forces
No threat we can’t defeat
Usurpers claiming the throne
But it’s not ours to take
For a moment she kept silent
Any moment she will wake

Grey and fat she roams
Lazy and restrained the snake
Infects the sea
Still we’ll name her goddess
We’ll plead her for the lives she’ll take
Once more we will remember
Once more we will know

For a time she conformed
Now she’s turning vile

Pray for forgiveness
Praise the Serpent Queen

The river dragon has come
Souls wash away


7. GONE WITH THE FLOODS

Earth barren
A dry land
Endless drought, we pray for water
With cracked lips
And caked eyes
Dropping like flies
Survivors
Fight with no end
Tribes at war, we stand divided
Precious liquid
Life giver
Darkening skies

And finally came the rains
The heavens wept eternal tears
The rivers rose and claimed the plains
All vermin be gone with the floods

Prayers answered
War ended
Death’s torrential reign
Vile liquid
Life taker
Scourge washed away

Howling winds of Mother’s ire
Lightning paints the skies with fire
Raging storms of Gaia’s sorrow
Sink all dreams and drown tomorrow

Promises we gave
Until it was too late
To change how we behave
To mend our wicked ways
The waters rise to seal our fate
Drag us down to a watery grave

Blue planet
A world of water
Abundant life, reborn the Maiden
New beginning
Evolution
A cycle begun
Precious liquid
Life giver
Lands rise, life finds a new way
Sentient beings
New empires
Downfall commence


8. AEGEON'S WRATH

Many names
I’ve borne in days of old
In sagas written
Ancient stories told
Anger me
I am the Kraken
Death’s cold embrace
Charybdis awaken

Pray to Nereus so that I feed you
A sacrifice to Njord so that I lead you
A tribute to Neptune so I don’t take your land
An offering to Ran when a sailor meets his end

You disrespect, you steal, you pillage in endless greed
Divine titles are all but forgotten
You poison my daughters, my sons, to me they flow diseased
My essence suffocates my children
You wound, you drain, you kill, taking more than you need
My waters decrepit and rotten
You contaminate my veins, my creatures in shackles and chains
Pontus turned Thanatos

Remember ancient times when I had so much life to give
Humanity was young and still knew to cherish gifts
Now those times are gone you have forgotten gratitude
The well of life infected, life once endless now a grave

Poseidon rise your trident
Shake the realms of men
Awaken the frozen Titan
Let Phorcys swallow the dead

Too late to pray
I am the Kraken
Death’s cold embrace
Charybdis awaken
Aegaeon’s wrath
Waves rising to the skies
Mercyless, raw
Tides silencing the cries

Desolate lands, waves washed away the disease
Empires crumbled, witnessed the might of the Seas
My oldest name, my purest name you will know
Tiamat, the mother, I am chaos


9. MATERNAL FOUNDRY

Fire giants pumping the bellows
Summits tremble, heavens dyed red
Molten rocks, a blazing hail
The furnace hungers, she must be fed

Burn the pain
A wasteland will remain
Consumed by flames
An end to human reign
Turned to ash
From red to lifeless grey
From death and dust
New life will find a way

With her dying breath
She brings forth a flaming death
In her final hour
No limit to her power
When all is dust and bone
Her rage now turned to stone
Rest now mother Earth
Destruction brings rebirth

Wounds open wide
Tectonic plates collide
Smoke and fire
Cannot escape her ire

Fire giants striking their hammers
Mountains open, dragons fly free
Spitting flames and toxic gas
Cities perish, nowhere to flee

Molten rocks, a blazing hail
Mountains open dragons fly free

Come forth the winds
Summon mighty rains
Cleanse the ash
Remove the lifeless grey
Wash away
Remains of human reign
From death and dust
New life


10. TELLURIAN RAPTURE

Vessel built in secret
Chosen are the nine
Escape the wrath of Gaia
Humanity’s decline

Left behind, discarded
The ship transcends the skies
With this final treason
A planet dies

In the hour of rapture
No angels seized our souls
No prophet came to free us
We were left behind
No Lord came to great us
We perished, alone

The sphere is getting smaller
Almost ought of sight
The nine begin to bicker
Proud and vain they fight

Cast out
Two pods leave the ship
Where there were nine
The seven now divine

In the hour of rapture
We perished, alone

My fury is eternal
My soul an endless blaze
Nothing quenches my thirst
Every world I raze

I prey upon the weak
A parasite of the mind
Lost souls will be my swarm
Your loyalty I bind
