1. ARCH NEMESIS

What once was pure has now been blackened by man's touch
The paragons of old have fallen down enough
The tombs of wretchedness remain a heartless void
And all that we have known has been lost by your hands

Lies have been made...
Deals are forced...
Shut down the gates...
Break down the horde !

Our only error
Lies in our hearts
Our last connection
Fades into dust !

Unholy burden
Deny this rite
Of Sacred Passage
We hunt toniiiiight !

Your face now rots and dies !
Like a memory with time !
Darkness overcomes all life !
Consume this soiled flesh torn open !

Desolation
Will I ever be free ?

Brought down to my knees
Brought to face my destiny

The Ancients never came
On battlefield of black

Mind bending agony
With mind bending severity

Am I dreaming ?
Am I dead ?
This world seems to have no end

Last thing I saw your face
As you dug your weapon in me...

What once was pure has now been blackened by man's touch
The paragons of old have fallen down enough
The tombs of wretchedness remain a heartless void
And all that we have known has been lost by your hands

The walls of fate are closing in
No prayer or hymn will cleanse your sin
Your time is nearing as your life comes to an end
You shall repent for all the lives you have stricken


2. GRAVEYARD

The endless screams
Torn out from a new dawn
This rage won't cease to be

This ground is moist with tears...

Of the fallen...

Of the weak...

Blood shines like sunlight through the soil

The night's caress grows strong

She calls me like a tender whore...

With cries of agony you fight to lie down still...

You struggle against fate

You shelter fear inside your heart
It tastes so sweet to our soft lips
You'll lie forever within me
This land will be your own graveyard...

The nights grow longer
The sunlight burns your eyes
What good that's left in you will burn out as you die
Your carcass warms me as it sinks into my arms...
You'll be mine so long as you are in this graveyard...
