1. OVERTURE INTO MADNESS

(Instrumental)


2. OSSUARY

All the pain I have beheld
Has lain the bricks and columns
Of this horrid, grotesque palace
My shrine, my throne

I wander into the darkness
Through the gates of the ossuary
The ground shakes; thunder roars behind me
The gates have shut forever

Many bones have gathered here
Shelved on these stone walls
Built of silt and broken minds
My memories fill these halls

the void that i cling to
I save it for you
Your bones shall dress my mantle
Your cadaver's throne

The skulls depended from these walls
Fill me with such content
Memories of our past
The source of all contempt

Never mind the shutting gates
Come and join me here
Acquaint yourself with the skeletons
They you should not fear
No!

The void that i cling to
I save it for you
Your bones shall dress my mantle
Your cadaver's throne

I drag you down
Into my ossuary
Now you fill my void
Remain here,
Shattered forever


3. YOUR TOMB, MY KINGDOM

Sore and tired I have been made
I now indulge the sick
When I lay your body down
I place upon my head, this crown

The constant weight of grief
Holds me till I drown
Beneath these waves so dark
My Empire holds me down

There’s nothing left in here
Save for the pain I feel
The only cure I see
Your life I must steal

I shall not rest again
Not till my task is done
The Earth shall swallow you
Touched never by the sun

Never again touched by the sun

My heaven
Your hell

Your Tomb
My Kingdom

And now I have been left alone
Broken by the world
For I have lain your body down
And all I have left is this wretched crown


4. MISOTHEISM

From the ashes
That were once your salvation
I watch rise before me
A phoenix of desolation
One who will never be reigned again

You were the light
Of my pain
Now your will defied
I am free through her flame
From your love so cold

Raze the gates
Burn the despicable heavens
Spare no lord
Liberate my soul

I am Godless
Godless forever

You were the light
Of my pain
Now your will defied
I am free through her flame
From your love so cold
