1. ENTERING THE GATES (INTRO)

(Instrumental)


2. WITHOUT FEAR

It is time to rise, take me from my bed
Why do I believe your lies
Relinquish your command, harbinger of devastation
Submit to me, or suffer, endlessly

Thorns do not deviate
The direction is clear
Decidedly unknowing
You follow without fear

I suffer for your pain
This is a lost cause
You won’t break free
Your mind is there’s

It is time to end this sickly gestation
You’re breeding emptiness in my heart
Left with colloquial depredation
You of unending fallacy

In the moonlight, she draws near
Showing me that I have no one to fear
Forcing me down, head beneath the crown
I am nothing, I am nothing

It’s of no consequence you’re a product of this world
But let me say, you will rot too
I don’t wish this in lieu of you

Thorns do not deviate
The direction is clear
Decidedly unknowing
You follow without fear

I suffer for your pain
This is a lost cause
You won’t break free
I’m lost, just as you are


3. A REQUIEM PENNED IN BLOOD

Listen to my words, this heresy
A warning, nay, a prophecy

Can you hear the song, of the angels as they're torn from the sky?
A cry of agony, requiem in blood
The world listens to this symphony of death
Skies turn gray, as the virtuoso plays
Fires burn while children die in flames
Burnt, past, recognition
Rising to the sky
Sears of the adolescent choir
In this song of genocide

Mothers salt the earth, moist with tears as the children they have birthed
Are taken away for the final sacrifice
All will listen to the rhythm of their arms
And the screams
No more the sun will shine, skies turn black as the earth burns below
Darkness threatening to take your soul
Shrieks of all those passed away
The haunting score of our demise

Who's watching over us?
Who'd let creation die?
Who gave us fire and food and life?
And the chains that we hang by?


4. OF SERAPH AND SNAKE

Burning through the soul, It comes in shapes unknown
Sinister delights, evil incarnated
A truth gone untold, for countless centuries
Mankind's true visage, one of seraph and...
Stealing through the black, preparing for its strike
Pure faith's nemesis, subversive and benign
The masses collide, surging through flesh and death
Accept your nature, spawn of seraph and...

Place me in my six foot grave
Bless me with your grace
Erase my purity
And blind me endlessly
Place me in my six foot grave
Pile earth upon my face
Mourning visibly
Pleasured internally

Save, save your life
Save your soul
Mine is yours
To drown
Hear us go
A destination, Unknown

Stay away, this carnal incarnation
Break away, the unbalanced mind control
Justify, your evil suffocation
Sanctify
You cant change me, this is the way
Demonstrate, unholy brutal decay
Save my soul, leave my life in its wake

Of Seraph and Snake

I'm needing, I'm bleeding

Running through the dark
You claim to be the light
Dilapidated life
Unholy war
Parasite eating me
Patriarch of insanity
Mindless minion, dead to the real world
Submit yourself, succumb to the fiendish lure

Parasite eating me
Patriarch of insanity
Spiritual bankruptcy
Mind instability
It's true, what I say to you
But you cant deny
Their synthesis of human minds
Truly vain... of seraph and snake


5. DEMISE

"Down the tubes," or so they say
My hands are tied in this way
I yearn for more, to believe in someone
I as witness our demise

You can't stop the suffering I feel, we are as one
Realize that you're falling too, you're not the one

"Please, please", we wallow away
In our synthetic dementia
Filling voids with what they say
I can't stand to look at you!

Why, why us?
Why, why like this?
Who, who to blame?
Who is sane? Corruption

It's coming, coming fast
It's raping all that is left
Confusion, destruction, inevitably
Erasing all that was once good in this life
We're slowly, slowly slipping into this
Armageddon

"Down the tubes," or so they say
My hands are tied in this way

You can't stop the suffering I feel, we are as one
Realize that you're falling too, you're not the one

"Please, please", we wallow away
In our synthetic dementia
Filling voids with what they say
Make it stop, make it go away

Why, why us?
Why, why like this?
Who, who to blame?
Who is sane? Corruption
