1. INTERRED IN DARK MATTER

Nex Omne
In quo de creatione hominis
Per quos morte eius fuit machinator
Reliquis in universo
Et adduxerunt ad odium
Sepultus est in tenebris
Nex Omne


2. DREAMLAND

We have multiplied
We have taken flight
We are hidden in darkened skies
We carry tools to render minds
You will succumb to the light

You will hear their feet stomp as they march towards justice
They will come to us
We shall arrive
Superior minds

Discreet mutilations performed as if we were upon cattle
Besiege the inhabitants
Absorb any energy
We will create a dreamland

Dream

Tranquillizers take over nervous systems
This is mere abduction in my hands
This is a dream being fulfilled upon your land

Let them rot away
The highest divine
Emerge with the signs
To deliver our will

Let them rot away
Overwhelmed to obey
To fill this planet with decay


3. INEXORABLE ENSLAVEMENT

We've been infiltrated

From as long as I can remember
My kind has been the defenders
Of our planet and it's species
But the time has come to surrender
Or this planet will quickly enter
A state of internal bleeding
A sea of eternal seeking
Eternal seeking for safety and refuge

Oddities begin to show
Nightmares begin to grow
In my mind
In our homes
Nightmares begin to grow

Contorted
Everyone discordant
Distorted
Contorted

Darkened skies emerge on the horizon of day
A realignment of my mind leads me to this compliant state
An urge to obey I just cannot shake

A shadow shrouding over the congregation
A light lingers on the surface of our faces
Rising closer to our purpose
The final convergence

Psyches pierced and filled with fear
The will to live's not present here

No longer leaders

Darkened skies emerge on the horizon of day
A realignment of my mind leads me to this compliant state
An urge to obey I just cannot shake

They appear in the atmosphere
Useless effort interferes
With victory to save our peers
The best engineers
To make demands clear

(Lucca Schmerler)
Slaves
Chains
We are doomed
We are damned
How could we have not seen this earlier
Once a peaceful civilization
Now a hostile, spiteful nation


4. THICK SKIN

I toy with the victims
Enjoy then I trick them
Implants pierce the thick skin
Restriction within them

Nightmares commence
This unfair suspense
I'm ready for control
My patience growing thin

They drop like flies under a black sun
The darkening of skies on the horizon

Their function and will shall cease
A step forward to fulfill this prophecy
No longer a nightmare this is reality

They drop like flies under a black sun

As I break through the walls of their minds
Their souls will be as foretold by the signs

The darkening of skies on the horizon

With empty sight they organize the structure
Chains lay at their sides as they further the scripture
Dried out eyes and severed tongues, individuals no longer
A savior among the soulless kind

A savior among the soulless kind
Severed tongues and dried out eyes
A savior among the soulless kind
Severed tongues and dried out eyes
A savior among the soulless kind
Severed tongues and dried out eyes


5. LUCID

Every single surface on this crimson planet is serving the purpose
Of bearing the broadcast of this divulgence
Revealing convergence

You'll bring assistance without any conscience
There's no coexistence you'll erase the distance
The last of resistance was ripped from existence
The planets persistent to merge in an instant

Subservient to a cause now clear
Everyone working planetary gear
For a "leader" they thought they'd never fear
Permeant whispers of death that is near
The early ancestor that resides here
Can only watch in horror as the species disappears

Perceptions change

"How could we believe"
"How could we trust"
"How could we believe"
"How could we trust"

I now realize

We brought upon this onslaught

You'll bring assistance without any conscience
There's no coexistence you'll erase the distance
The last of resistance was ripped from existence
The planets persistent to merge in an instant


6. PLAINS OF BLACK

Human skin wrapped around an alien frame
Doomed to walk this earth, you will die without shame
For you had no purpose, you had no aim
Everything that you forged
Destroyed in endgame

This planet was begging, pleading
This planet was begging, pleading
To be purified, To be purified
To be purified, To be purified
To be
Purified

When the ground starts to quake
And the world begins to break
A broken mass
It will forever remain

Princeps Univers

The land rotting
Plains of black
Decay spreading
Through the cracks

The land rotting
Plains of black
Decay spreading
Through the cracks

The universe dreading
The path that this planet's heading

For you had no purpose, you had no aim
Everything that you forged
Destroyed in endgame

I'm coming for your throat

This planet was begging
This planet was pleading

May my efforts complete me as I complete them


7. THE LAST MOONRISE

(Instrumental)


8. WAR OF THE WORLDS

Distorted gravity
Directed at the enemy
As the body grows closer
As my core grows colder
The atmospheres collide
Crushing all remaining life
Entombed in ice
Distant disintegration
A global reduction of all land and oceans
As the ice shatters the barren earth is revealed once more
Only to endure complete annihilation
Magma seeping from the very inner core
The blue planet near extinction

(Rheese Peters)
These two celestial bodies now resemble each other
Red, barren and broken to their cores
Washed over by liquid flame just before they crack and begin to break
Their skies will be black for days as all life on Earth suffocates
A war of the worlds on a cataclysmic scale
An end so grand neither planet can be remade
Now watch as they begin to wane
No more oxygen, no more hope for anything to remain
Only destruction, both planets will now be replaced
By nothing but dust and debris, death and decay
All chance for organic life has been erased


9. EXTERMINATE

I. Light:
The fuel of the planet can no longer withstand
This is the faltering bodies final stand
As it burns out it transits the darkness
As gravity pulls the sphere the crust finally forfeits
Contractions of the core
The planetary nebula begins to pour from the pores
A dead future lies in store
It changes from white to black then drains out to nothing more
The last trace in space is light years away
A foreshadowing of death to any life in the way
As all light is replaced by darkness and hate
The amusement floods my brain
There will be no life to remember this day
I have obtained the power to destroy and create
The bringer of night, eraser of day
The fuel of the planet can no longer withstand
This is the bodies final stand
As it burns out it transits the darkness
Supernova collapses into the neutron star
Devourer of light and the life it brings

Exterminate light
Exterminate life

II. Life:
The second chapter begins
I will smite this entire universe
For it is filled with sin
You will bow and bend
To the rules of the ancients
One life ending, brings the beginning
The soul descending
The sacrifice now ascending
Beyond mending

The death of this entity
Slaughtering enemies
Miasma of rotting flesh
The atmosphere reeks of death
This extraterrestrial loss of life

Organic substance will expire
Expose the flesh to fire
I will purge the universe of this curse
Malignant parasites
Repopulate and reproduce
Their endless appetites feed on the world that they pollute
Prometheus will watch you burn in the fire he gave you
Your god won't save you because he answers to me
I will erase every living thing
Their breath will be squeezed from their choking lungs
Spewing forsaken blood of their dead beliefs
Their bulging eyes look upon their creator
As he turns his back on another failed creation


10. AFTERMATH

So as we observe the destruction
Debris infected with deathly corruption
Spheres disappear with spontaneous combustion
Hear the sound of fear, halt all production

Focus is aimed at stopping this plan
Light years away he stretches his hands
Planetary removing
Hatred swallowing, engulfing
I rip through layers of crust
Erasing one by one

As the ashes of this tragic ending
Invade the air
Behold erosion

Planetary removing
Hatred swallowing, engulfing, erasing

Every planet now reduced to
Rubble and nothing more
Every planet now reduced to
Rubble and nothing more
Every planet now reduced to
Rubble and nothing more
Every planet now reduced to
Rubble and nothing more

So as we observe the destruction
Debris infected with deathly corruption
Spheres disappear with spontaneous combustion
Hear the sound of fear, halt all production

Halt all production
Cores are crushed in
Planets all around gone nothing to trust in
Leaving worlds haunted
The ancient one taunted
A foreshadowed message
Of Imminent Judgement
A first impression
The hive mind adjusted
The last step of a vision
To destroy something
Something once beautiful corrupted
Something once beautiful corrupted

(Jimmy Harrington)
Every consciousness is blind to the selfishness
Of the obsession of planetary isolation
The bleeding obsession
With falsification
Oh, so the revocation begins
I've waited eternity to bring it to an end

This is just the beginning of the universe brought to its knees
Contrary to belief life and death shall meet
I'm ending existence as far as the eye can see
Life and death shall meet
Life and death shall meet
Life and death shall meet
Life and death shall meet


11. EPHEMERAL

I'll have him even as he gloats
While I wait I practice on less honorable throats
Their eyes turn heavenward
As I slice their jugulars

We will fill the atmosphere with the utmost fear
The apex is here
The universe's direction was lost now found
When this battle is won you will be shut down
You won't hear the slightest sound as your legacy falls to the ground

I deliver the final blow
Now the galaxy will know
Your death will serve as the prophet of this
Declaration of obliteration

We are Ancients

Regicide

Oh, but you have forgotten the power I hold
You have underestimated
The abomination of this universe

Blasphemic martyr
I demand your valueless life to cease
Ageless treachery
A deathless essence
Escaping mortality
Majesty incomparable
Apart from those who fall at my feet
Agonizing eradication abides unto your destiny
Relinquish your power
Lay down your soul, you must answer to me
Despot deluging, engulfed in flames of defeat
Blasphemic martyr
Your corpse intended for meat

I embody all you see this universe abides by me
Don't you understand by killing me you'll bring on eternal nonexistence
This galaxy will decay as the stars fall from the sky
Worlds Collide
There's no use in fucking running this universe will die
The knife slices his throat as this universe bleeds
No, how can this be?
My legacy forsaken
Lifeless eyes gaze upon a universe devoid of life


12. EXISTENTIAL ROT

In one moment we see the beautiful fall of everything created
This great void feeds on anything once its been weighed in
Souls encased in shells that paralyze
Blackened haze enshrouds from the outside

Deep in the belly of the beast the seed has been waiting to hatch
Death now opens its jaws wide - unblinkingly staring all in the eyes
Every trace of withered matter rendered
Helpless, hopeless, mortified
Helpless, hopeless, mortified

Darkness fills presence
Complete pit of Onyx
It laughs until you've died
Filled with fear and past tense cries
Petrified for the rest of time
Set to dine on the light inside
Compelling all eyes to be locked in its gaze, never to return from this mass spacial grave
The banks of space, littered with carcasses and tragic fate

Death begins to eat its fill
From the skies, from the ground
Dragging existence down
Death is the strongest form of will
Now gorging itself
Nothing that lives can deny what it must consume
As worlds fall silent
Stare into
The void of ruination
It welcomes you

Nothing that lives can deny what it must consume

In one moment we see the beautiful fall of everything created
This great void feeds on anything once it's been weighed in
Souls encased in shells that paralyze
Blackened haze enshrouds from the outside

The banks of space, littered with carcasses and tragic fate

Death opens its jaws wide

As worlds fall silent
Stare into
The void of ruination
It welcomes you


13. THE DOT (I DECLARE WAR COVER)

We are alone on this stage in a vast cosmic arena
Think of all the rivers of blood spilled by the generals and emperors

So that in glory and triumph they could become momentary masters of a dot
Think of the endless men fighting and dying for a God they’re not sure exists

War and famine at what price?
We tell ourselves what we’re doing is right
But we’re so fucking wrong
How frequent our misunderstandings

How eager we are to kill
Look back at the pale blue dot
And try to convince yourself God created the universe for a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
