Lyrics

1. DELUGE

Clouds eclipse the sun and blacken the sky
The wind grows hungry and vile
Our birds croak and growl
They used to know how to sing

In a whirlwind of god's fury
The dragon fell from high above
And a third of the sky came down
In a hailstorm of falling stars

With lungs full of water
The spark of life fleeing you
Do you regret your sinful life
Or validate it by drowning proud?

We took the earth's daughters as our wives
Now it's time we pay the price
Don't stop from raining clouds, don't stop now
Teach the vermin the satanic right and wrong

Our mother and father united,
God and nature alike raining death,
Ground cracks to abyssic pits
Swallowing the last of the Nephilim

So the sinners passed on for their evil ways
In floods of the almighty they die
Yet the song of the wicked
Still sits atop the waves
And faces appear among the mist
That rises from the passing tide


2. DROWNING WISDOM

Beautiful eyes like venomous serpents and reptiles
Swimming in an emerald bowl filled with skies so blue

I have thrown myself after your lustful mirage
And drowned myself in you swirling deceit

Yet, what I see
Is this real, can it be?
Are you true in love with me?

You mischieving, cheating, traitorous whore
Every time my mislead heart cries

As you fuck with every sincere-hearted fool
Am I such or are your words just lies?

Yet, what I see
Is this real, can it be?
Are you true in love with me?

'Cos I love you with every fiber of my being

You bringer of the light of lights
And the one who holds it back
So I may quest for it
And my hatred grows, it grows

I would follow you to hell
To the bottom of the deepest lake
I cannot forgive you
But I swear the god I'll follow

See my desperation as it erupts
Faith fails, the mighty mind is frail
Worthless are flesh and soul alike
But you my love, dear Satan remain


3. SPACE COWBOY

Past the seven flaming stars
Globes embedded in gold,
Crimson and copper alike
You have travelled far

Past the gaping maws
Of black holes of hellish density
Dimensional doors to greater pains
You have endured, o crusader

Your planet once so verdant
Now scorched beyond lifeless
Did you come here to absolve your sins
Or in search of the beyond?

The gates are sealed for mortals
So (you get to) eat shit

Your planet once so verdant
Now scorched beyond lifeless
Did you come here to absolve your sins
Or in search of the beyond?

Eat shit space cowboy
Your home is no more
Eat shit space cowboy
You will die alone


4. SONS OF MORNING

The bright herald steps forth
His horn wailing in the dying light
Banners raising in purple and green
Bearing our brotherhood's sigil, the morning star

The siege is laid, the sky grows restless
Earth hungers for the blood of the slain
Blades unsheathed emit an eerie glow
Hails of arrows whistle above our heads

Charge, onwards, kill, pillage and burn
Ironclad warriors of Lucifer

(We will leave nothing for the crows)

Crush the church of heretics
Who bask in the light of the wrong star

(We will leave nothing for the crows)

The book full of your lies won't save you
They will suffice as kindling to set a fire
To your flesh and to your temple
We will leave nothing for the crows


5. JOHN THE BAPTIST

Bodies floating down the stream
Piling up at the shallows
Marbling the slow current with rotting blood
Inescapable failures that tried
To grasp for something more
The journey against the flux is long and perilous

Idealist folly and a messiah complex are not enough
Do not venture here trying to prove something
With your head held high and eyes brighter than fire
You fear death but even more you are dreading life

Past the rapids and the carcasses
Pierced and held by jagged stones

Faces twisted in unholy grins
The roots of the river are drawing near

To reach the beyond simply courting death is not enough
You must face it and join the victorious dead

For you I am the dead end, the great lie and pointless Death
As long as you don't value life you are worthless to your God
