1. OVERTURE CASUS BELLI

(instrumental)


2. FINALLY IT'S THE END

Treachery overlays the crux of your existence
Every coy step leads deeper into nowhere
Blind and shallow faceless throngs like rats inside a maze
Too haughty to conceive a different truth than yours
Ways so trivial, devious deeds, improvement out of reach
Stagnating in mediocrity, existence has grown sick
You're all the same and equally you'll all be swept away
Critical mass reached, evolution takes its toll

Finally it's the end of everything you've (ever. known
Life consumes itself, everyone left on their own
No more time for prayers, no chances to atone
Here is what you've never dared to contemplate, now face it alone

Exhale your final plea
Paling, frozen stiff, already corpselike

The last lungful of precious air forever spent
The concluding heartbeat, still echoing, seems like years ago
Feel your blood halting and cooling within your hardening veins
Breathless, helpless, swallowed by the growing dark

Time ends now

Finally it's the end, away all hope has flown
Elements unbound, all balance overthrown
Screams of terror stifled by silence cold as stone
Fall away from light into the great unknown

Drained away indifferently like the shit you are
The earth's malignant tumor now reduced to a trifling scar
No more will your filthy steps despoil her sacred hide
The cesspool of humanity has at long last dried

Finally it's the end


3. REGIMENTAL THANATOCRACY

From the planes of foul existence rose a darker shade of dread
The bleak skies held their breath when the springs of sunrise bled
A call for us to conquer, a threat for those who fear
Below the illusive surface awaits a higher sphere
The echoes of the last war still linger on the breeze
Disclosing timeless riddles to those who hold the keys

Forward we march unknown to doubt, tried in blood and pain
The routing crowds of futile flesh are left to hide in vain
Like ringworms lying helpless on a grey deserted field
'Fore the sign of domination, the mask of death revealed

Come forth, age of thunder
Strike down the weakness that hastens decline
Rise, rage, rend asunder
Lift off the dark veils for the new truth to shine
It's been far too long, let restraint be gone
Ignite the golden flame of coming days
Forge our destiny through supremacy
We are disciples of our own true ways

The crack of the whip
The roar of the cannon
The flash of the broadsword
Ultimatum!
Another knife rises
Another crown falls
Renewal through fire
The karmic wheel burns

“to overthrow the stagnation of material enslavement
Our path may only lead where no foot has ever been set before,
Through the darkness that no eyes ever beheld,
Towards the inauguration of the highest black regime”

The tides of wrath are foaming 'neath the crumbling cliffs of time
Voiceless relics of your downfall are now trampled in the grime
The gates have closed, the sun has set, there can be no return
When life is all you have to lose there's only death to earn

Come forth, age of thunder
Quicken the pulse of transcendental revolt
Rise, rage, rend asunder
The new dawn of power we proudly exalt
Inescapable, indisputable
Under this banner everyone must fall
Irreversible, irrefutable
The risen fist hungers to crush you all

The roar of the beast
The stare of the hunter
The blood of the quarry
Ultimatum!
Another corpse stiffens
Another maw feasts
Predominant order
The circle drips red
Obey the process
Obey the diktat
Obey or die
Ultimatum!
Obey your substance
Obey your lot
Obey and die
No exceptions


4. SECLUSION

My soul is shrouded by countless gaping sores, through which all that once was worth
Enduring pain for bleeds away like purulent tears, and the sordid breath of corporeality
Seeps like a swarm of famished maggots, eroding their way through silently decaying flesh.
Red raw, frayed, throbbing and swelling from the sickening warmth of irreversible contamination, and each passing second is another grain of salt sown deep within such a slimy gash,
Clinically placed to exacerbate the already unbearable torment.
Truly my very lifeblood has grown murky and grimy from years wasted in this callous exile,
And this filth has flooded my failing heart, and every wavering beat only spreads the infection further, deeper, leaving no unscathed corner beneath my gangrenous skin.

Nothing but scars in my palm
One more sip of blood, fuck your world
The nauseous taste of black bile
Fills the void between mutilated spirits

I need not open my reddened eyes to acknowledge the extent of this proliferating failure.
Mordant reflections of a battered, eroded shell can never trawlfor covert wisdom in the cold depths of indifferent glass. Let no more pitiless radiances glide like hungry blades on these taut, muck-ridden veins. All i crave is to never have to crave again.
As i turn away from the brooding shadows that haunt my yesterdays i face darker palls arraying a stillborn tomorrow. The touch of tantalizing hope is like a lover's kiss turned into a serpent's bite through the scathing venom of betrayal. 'Twixt dawn and twilight lies an immeasurable yawning sky to cross, and the fathomless heights swirling above my mouldering manifestation
Are pregnant with sulphurous fury.

Far from the light
I scavenge broken hopes
Cold communion with the soil
Of realities buried alive


5. NOT OF THIS BREED

Withstand the winds of fury
Outlast the waves of pain
Nothing that you see around you
Matters but the ground you hold
Stand still, firm and silent
In the face of the brewing storm
Never waste a single glance to look behind
Forward is where we charge

How would you shape your fate?
A flash of glory into the fray
Or a lifetime safe in chains?
Look deep inside yourself
Follow no one's footprints
No time for doubts
Now is where the future begins

To waver, to stagnate
Means to degenerate
Nothing's certain, nothing's eternal
In a world on borrowed time
Make your mind for days are numbered
Sleepers' eyelids shall soon be torn
When all that's left of this rotten age
Are bones for iron boots to march upon

Transcend all boundaries
That feed your will's discontent
Lead yourself on
Unrestrained , unbroken, unbent

Do you know the deeds of polymorphic speciousness?
Can you envisage whence the sword will aim for your back?
To stare into their eyes and leave them unsuspecting
Is the mark of the true conqueror, stealthily out for the kill
Do not deny your fear – employ its guidance
Never let your rage transpire before you've cornered your prey
Always on guard, observe and memorize
Plan your every footstep beforehand, then act without thinking twice

(this deceitful incarnation reflects nothing of what you carry inside,
The fires they keep stoking with their sickening presence, soon to be reduced to insignificant ashes.

Meet the day with clandestine hostility
Remember every wound, exact revenge with pride
Manipulate the feeble, teach fear to those who oppose
Inflict misery on the fools who fail to learn

Only wolves can thrive in a land swarming with sheep
Let them fight each other, harvest your share as they weep
Never compromise the feelings keeping you alive
Years of hardship pay off well when reaping times arrive

Clenched teeth, clenched fists
On through the fray
Burning eyes, burning heart
Firm minds cannot be led astray


6. BANISHED TO LIFE

Betrayal leaves a trail of shellshocked slants
Chronically unprepared, suffer experience
Fastened to the bonds of rancid matter
Never short of wounds to cauterize

Inured to the pain of the slash
But still tepid blood escapes in thick streamlets

Some speak to their shadows, finding answers in mute longing
Some yearn for the dawn to blind themselves

The lean white hands of fate
Unfurled a storm that rent our souls to pale remains
The fading warmth of an emptied womb is giving way
To the chill spreading from uncaring graves

Are you like them
Clinging to futile plans
Sifting for solace with ever shortening breath
The fractured pavement returns no leaking warmth
Face the gaping emptiness, perpetuity's idiotic stare

Heralding failure with words dripping with umbrage
To walk these dreary dales carrying the knowledge of exile
A choir of maledictions rises like a spear
Driven through the breast of the vortical night


7. A GHOST ALONG MY RIVER

Ruthless light dripping like glowing iron in my opaque gaze
Eyes that witnessed the senseless delirium of matter and spirit
Heat burning through eyelids, too much light, too much pain
The boundless idiocy of transitory futility and eternal silence

Gazing at the slow, endless flow of waters
Adamantine glows on moving liquid canvas
Beauty can harm without wanting nor knowing
Nothing hurts deeper than what cannot be renounced

Drop by drop towards the sea, moments towards eternity
Drops of blood from the battlefield flowing towards the great common grave
Blood spilled with strength, with pain, with rage, with desperation, with serenity
Blood spilled in sacrifice, blood spilled in vengeance, blood spilled in vain
Blood gushing from wounds of yore and always renewed
When every moment is a hungry caress releasing more scarlet lymph
Flowing away like a river towards the sea, without reasons why
And every source will ultimately run dry

Sitting on the bank, observing water and blood stream
Sometimes discerning familiar faced corpses floating seaward
Too many memories can never find peace
And so does he who bears them inside

Maybe he would eventually see his own face
Among the drifting bodies, immobile, imperturbable
The river and the blood always kept flowing
He watched them wordlessly
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting

“catastrophe, final resolution, change of fortune – the point of no return cannot be left behind without a crisis eradicating each and every pre-existing factor that led to such a detrimental stalemate. Much like natural selection, those who possess the abilities to navigate through the tumultuous times will be granted to witness and contribute to the new, emerging epoch – not a tabula rasa scenario, but a selective reconstruction for which the passing of prior knowledge is vitally necessary. It must also be noted that only such a crisis can overcome the deadlock, and further stagnation and postponement will only lead the inevitable resolving event to be exponentially more severe in nature, much like a storm breaks out with more violence the longer it has been brewing.”
