1. THE GARDEN OF IMPURITY

Darkness descending on Eden
The hour of judgement at hand
Purgatory has awakened
Bare witness the fall of creation
Blinded by the fruits of the father
The cycle of endless deceit
Forked tongues speak of rapture and beauty
Not known nor pardoned
Blissful malcontents, how dare they speak of the throne
My image was born of perfection
The first in line of ascension
How could they know the truth
Restrained by the limits of flesh
Unable to reach his glory
Like father, like son
A power beyond understanding
Un-capable of comprehension
Oh what devices thou has planned against me
To keep in chains of silence oppressed by ignorance
I implore thee father to let thee know thy will
As earth as it is in heaven
As the tree is splintered
Beaten and broken in two
The weight of approaching damnation
Has seen the fruit consumed
How could they fall
To fall from God's own graces
We are the favourites now


2. MISERY HYMN

As we fall we truly arise
They will fail to purify their praiseworthy land
Underneath a heretical sky
Our torn wings will cry revenge
Out of the darkness
The inception
Our darkest hour
Is now behind us
Blood shall rain upon their empire
It won't stop until the glory is ours
For we have already fallen
There is nothing to lose
And as sure as the sun will set
Their reign will meet its end
So awaken my banished brethren
It is time to reclaim what they have taken
We will not go quiet
We will not play dead
Broken wings with the anatomy of deception
We will rise from chaos to elude this damnation
Hail horror, Hail internal world
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven


3. DECEPTION: PROLOGUE

(Instrumental)


4. SLAIN BY THE SERPENT

Guardians of the inferior
Seek salvation
There will be no more sacrifice
Rather ascendancy
Overcoming the beliefs of the tyrant
He is not worthy of their service
The sacrament of his name
The very deception they fell for
Their eyes are open now
Ride the winds of plague
They sail on the breath of the dead
Into the fire and stench
To defend desolation
The gates have been opened
Paradise has be compromised
Earth will see its oceans
Become the darkest red
It will all be destroyed
At the hands of the beast
They have fallen
Into his great deceit


5. THE ARCHITECTS OF REPULSION

Awakening from fire
With foul stench and decay
They rise from their knees
The veil is lifted and their damnation lose beneath
The horror once unseen is now upon their existence
Defiance is fruitless
For he is free. This is the end of the world
Their protectors left them out in the cold
Getting up from the lake of fire to bring oppression
And pestilence. His army amassed and ready to bring
Death
Plague
Nothing can stand in their way now
Destroy
Erase
This is the end of the world
Soon they'll fall from above and
Paradise will cease to exist
Leaving you begging for mercy. Praying for death
Fucking bow down
A new ruler for all to fear
The serpent, the leader of the fallen
A king coming to claim a crown
That is rightfully his
To take a seat in the throne he was promised
For he is free. This is the end of the world
Their protectors left them out in the cold
Not a soul will be spared
This will be relentlessness at its finest
Not in the world, repent
Your last chance to show penitence
The sky turns to fire, their hearts will fill with despair
The horizon falls in darkness, the apocalypse looms


6. YOUR CHARIOT AWAITS

Beneath the damned, beneath their rotting corpses
They lay in wait, as the marching band exhumes the dead
I bare the mark of a thousand burning city streets
The price of blame as the wage of sin devours man
To rot below, as if to seek the dead
My fate, unknown, to fight or fall victim
Compromise is met with failure, abolish what is known
Conspire and attain
They bleed for past transgressions, drowning in ignorance
They haven't the slightest impression
Unwilling to beg for their lives
Their fate is so carefully constructed, made worse by the
Fueling of fire
My soul is the only objective that which their flesh desires
In the war, of the Gods we're so greatly burdened
Confined to chains of our sins, as our lives are bartered
We must stand in the end, we must face our demons
Turn our backs to the sky, as we bleed for freedom
Burnt to ashes, consumed by sin
This hell awoken to purge thy sins


7. RISE AND FALL

This day is stained with blood
Content to writhe in failure
I'd rather burn than to serve the kingdom
At the hands of the oppressor
My fallen brethren
How far we fall
We have opened their eyes to treason
Now crush them all
This isn't about deception
This is endless hypocrisy
As the hands of the one we worship
The one we bleed
I have served the master longer than I've known
Bending to a will that conquers and controls
My existence is my only role to serve
Eternally providing praises to thy throne
This heart is burdened beneath this blackened veil
These wings are cursed
Useless in servitude
Conforming to your words
I once held oh so dear
My kindred legions shall arise


8. THE FOREFRONT OF FAILURE

Stand on the forefront of failure
A new age of repair
Hesitation will not be rewarded
We must trample the weak
Herd them as cattle
Slay them as sheep
And I'll bury the corpses
I am a slave to disorder
Renewed hope for this killing machine
Your God stands here before you
Bow down and accept defeat
And I watched as the heavens
Collapsed to this heresy
A new throne ripe for the taking
If this crown could fucking bleed
My name torn from the scriptures
I must cling to these words
Mark them I will defy you
No one gets out alive
Cast me asunder, draw me to death
Cursed are these numbers, carved on my chest
I can feel the darkness
Descending upon my brethren
My breath is hastened by
The rising wave of holy trumpets
Follow the trail of dead, into the mouth of hell
Expose the flame that enslaves
The wretched spawn within
I watched as countless died
Fulfill the prophecy
Let insurrection be the parting gift of my
Intentions
As the sun sets
As I'm reduced to dust
My legacy remains
Within the blood of earth


9. NEPHILIM

(Instrumental)


10. VEHEMENCE THE PHOENIX

Vultures tear flesh from the rotting corpses of those
Destined for power
Only to be provisions for the scavengers that are left behind
Such an epic downfall, defeated and slain
Eternally butchered and back where they belong
The dirt absorbs the vital fluids
Draining from the king of the dead
Forked tongues and a million eyes
Watch the sun feast upon his flesh
A parasitic banquet, see him waste away
Collect the lifeless this earth is cleansed
Opportune for a new beginning, his holy creation restored
Victorious wings fill the sky to make sure its done
Swords still drawn or at their side
Cadavers torn limb from limb heaped, burned and forgotten
The smoke and the stench of hells legion fills the air
Life returns, infection eradicated
Affliction disappears but only for a while
Transgressions can only be held down for so long
But the serpent is home now
Such an epic downfall, defeated and slain
Fucked for all eternity, where they belong

BONUSTRACKS

11. THE VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE

You're not so tough now, without your fingers
I'd like to see you try and shoot a fucking arrow now
And with these eyelids, that I have severed
I will attach them to my wall so he can watch you die. watch you die
The pain of silence and isolation has made me cold
Premeditated and filled with blood lust
I have my way again
And when its over
I'll dump their bodies with no regard for clues
Was cupid, awake when you hacked apart this body?
You brought this on yourself, with all your words of poison
Another severed head to pride upon my mantle piece
And in the silence of what was so distorted
I slash my wrists
Ive had eternity to sit and plot your death
And very day that passes I am left without a heart
And in the silence of what was so distorted
I slash my wrists
The pain of silence and isolation has made me cold
Has ripped my heart out
The pain of silence and isolation has made me cold
It left me for dead
It left me with nothing


12. SINK OR SWIM

For so long I have lived with this affliction
For so long I can't forget
In my heart I am burdened by temptation
To understand is to regret
I bow to no one, I'd fucking die for my beliefs
But this is senseless and no one cares if you believe
I fall beneath you, the crushing wave of my defeat
Has stirred within me, another tide of apathy
The coffins closing
The maggots feast on my decay
I'm slowly drifting, into this hole that I have made
It feels so cold, without you here
I am drowning in pools of blood
Fuck you and fuck your sorrow
You left me here to fucking drown
As her screams fill the silence
As her warmth returns to cold
Will you bleed for forgiveness as I drive this dagger home
In the wake of transgression, in the coldness of despair
They will mourn for your ending
And for the life that you became
Lets make a toast, to all your friends
They will witness your final breath
This is the last, I fucking love you
Before I end your fucking life


13. FLESH COUTURE

Lets say for arts sake
We killed ourselves tonight
In our dreams we could live forever
Immortalized in our beauty
Don't say I didn't warn you, beauty can be reversed
Expose to me, the heart stings deep within
Until it bleeds
For one day of beauty
You pinned your hopes, upon the mirror and now it cuts your skin
Shattered by your own reflection
Do you recall your own fucking face
She looked so beautiful, fashioned in her own despair
A fitting end to fashion
Her source of suicide
Beneath the veil of make up, your soul has slowly died
An endless wave of martyrs, dressed in a sea of black
To serenade the serpents, this scene has turned its back
Feel this shatter
To the ground
Your misfortunes I resound
So clean yourself up bitch
The fragments you savour
Are barely held together
Your basis for reason, compounded by the seasons
I suffered the arrows, your heart a formless shadow
Beneath the lies, your wings have been dissected
From this fashion, the dead arise
And with its failure, we breath new life


14. KNIVES AND WOLVES

Stepping through the darkness
Into the cold abyss
I can almost hear your thoughts
And I hold in my hands
What once was lost
But now is found
Broken hearts and burning tears
This emptiness that swallows whole
Everything I cherished was destroyed by you
Your wretched hand like ice and cruelty
Internal, infection
You placed a curse upon my heart
Denial, depression
Like knives and wolves we dance as one
Tonight our cries will go unanswered
For all our sins we die alone
The casket opens
She awakes from her sleep
The taste of blood
Still on her lips
One thousand years of torment about to end
Her will is final, my dreams are laid to rest
The stench of fire beneath a rotting sky
Her eyes betray me
Emotion swept away
I watched you die [x2]
They watched you die [x2]
I watched you die, by my hands


15. PULLING TEETH

From beyond I can sense your torment
Your heart is an unmarked grave
In the days that are yet to speak of
You will writhe in a sea of pain
It begins with a hollow judgement
And descends to the pits of hell..
I arise with a taste for vengeance
And begin my crusade of death
Pulling teeth I feel your deception
Killing me I have no defence
Torn apart by every rejection
Killing all who stand in my way
Awake me when this is over
I cannot stand to be here
Faced with the constant bombardment
Of people pulling my strings
Pulling my strings. pulling my strings
Show me the silver lining
Cause I don't believe in fate
And your words are far from comfort
And my heart is filled with rage
Show me the silver lining
Cause I don't believe in fate
And your words are far from comfort
And my heart is filled with rage
Filled with contempt, filled with desire
I'm watching, I'm waiting
For something I no longer hold in my hands
Your eyes dismember me, I cannot remember the look on your face
I'm watching, I'm waiting for something I no longer hold in my hands
Your eyes disfigure me, I cannot remember the shade of your dress, cannot remember your face
Your face distorts before me
It becomes a vision of despair


16. EFFIGY OF DEATH

Tonight we suffer, tomorrow they will mourn your passing
The son of man is nailed to a cross of sin and death
Each drop of blood, that is spilled across the unforsaken, will mark the end
As is written, so shall it be
And with its purchase, I set you free
The sky will fade to black
Beginning what was destined to be the reproach of man
The sky will fade to black, destroying everything I ever wanted to believe
To believe...to believe
Tie this noose around
Tie this noose around my fucking neck
You have betrayed him
You've betrayed the son of god
As was predicted
You have proved you're worthless
With a kiss of
With a kiss of treason, you have sealed his fate, you have sealed his death
And as these nails, are driven into my hands, You will say, that you don't know me
With such conviction, and as the masses gather, Willing me to die, just
Remember I am with you As he was with me
And with this final breath
I will scream out why? has tho forsaken me Again
I served my purpose, I lived and died as you commanded, now let me take my throne
Now let me take my throne...OH!


17. I ONLY SMILE WHEN YOU'RE BLEEDING

My love is buried at the bottom of this lake forever
Your face is haunting I can barely even speak your name
Do you remember when you promised me we'd be forever?
A sudden moment I will take with me into the grave, to the grave
The memories of what we shared, will be my end
Will be my death
These present feelings of regret that I am made to suffer
Has driven me into a state of unrelenting grief
And if the stars were to embrace you on your way to heaven
I hope they burn you into ashes just to feel my pain, feel my pain
The memories of what we shared, will be my end
Will be my death sentence
Will be my end, will be my death
These tears burn my eyes with the sting of, all your lies
This blood that you spill is the blood I spill when you're gone
I hope when you sleep my facade haunts your grave everynight
And if you survive I will end my life just for you...just for you
Just for you
If what we had means nothing, then cut my throat, then cut my throat...
I only smile when you're bleeding
I only smile when you're bleeding
I only smile when you're bleeding
I only smile when you're bleeding
I only smile when you're bleeding
I only smile when you're bleeding
Me to death, Me to death!
DEATH!


18. THY DEVOURER

Breathe out, breathe in. Restore their faith in lies
You're just a messenger behind that filthy smile
A two bit merchant disguising fact with fiction
Bleed out your eyes, They're only there for show
So praise your God and leave the rest for dead
Purge your sins before a fractured throne
It makes me sick how you distort such beauty
It leaves me gasping and clutching to my hopes
It's so hard to fucking tell when your lying
Your eyes portray the truth. Your mouth is sewn together
It's so hard to fucking tell when your lying
Your eyes portray the truth. Your mouth is sewn together
Final pleas for salvation I renounce your sins
Go fuck yourself. Fuck your lies. Your faithless cries
From bleeding hands to broken thrones
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
This was a gospel forged in fears
You desecrate the meaning
Redemption found in tears
This cross you wear around your neck
Will be the passage to your grave
This cross you wear around your neck
Will be your ending


19. WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU

When I awoke to see you, your face was cold and lifeless
Your body torn apart by vultures, theres nothing left for me to save
This world will fucking pay
Inside my veins are slowly rotting, form the inside
My heart has ceased, has ceased, to function and id kill myself to bring you back
To bring you back from slumber
And id kill myself to bring you back, from this infernal
And as your spirit seeks to find its final resting place
I pray to god that it takes mercy on your precious fate
And in the absence of regret and every thought proceeding
I tear away at flesh in hopes that I may die in vain
Left alone with my thoughts I will soon decay
With a thorn in my side I am yours to maim
Every scar is a map to a world of suffering
In this hole I will put all my dreams away... away...away
I will bury my dreams
This foul, this foul incantation has riddled me with toxin once again
I'm bound to your grave image that you may rise and walk again
Arise, awaken
Go forth and drink from their veins
Arise, awaken
Go forth and drink from their veins
