1. BETRUGER

Into the forbidden planet
Within the black depths of space
Lie terrors far beyond the threshold of all consciousness

Synthetic air fills with tension
As I arrive at the base
True horror has been wrought to decimate the living race

"I know the devil is real."
"I built his cage."

Reanimated cadavers
Lunging forward in lifelessness
Controlled by entities driven to deface existence

A genius mind sick with power
Haunted by demons in dreams
Opens a portal to the void of total suffering

The cretins crawling from the shadows bare disfigured faces
They thrive off hate and vengeance
Compelled, driven to erase us

Tainted flesh tearing through the walls
Spectral fiends beckoning their call
Once mortal men their souls forever are condemned
They died in vein unto their master's foul will

The hieroglyphs uncover ancient dominions
The ones beyond forced into war with hell's minions

Screams of anguish echo through the halls
Phantoms yerning for exodus

And now the gateway opens into eternal fire
Stripped of my resources and forced to face those who defile

In search of the the sacred cube
Filled with souls forever doomed
The deceiver's curse reigning over minds consumed

Minds consumed

Two realms merge into disarray
The hellgate grasping firm
Rushing to end this madness
The beasts await arrival

Befallen the maledict
Slain by the forgone relic

Cascading
Descending
Undoing
The portal closed


2. PLAINS OF DESPAIR

Trapped within this infernal soma
I roam the plains of despair
Sentenced to serve the forces of darkness
Exiled to these forsaken realms

In ages past a once trusted ally
Leading an ill-fated siege
Upon this nefarious fortress
I fell victim to their perverse masteries

Valor for nothing
Strength proven useless
Ordained to betray my closest companions
Forced to confessing all sacred secrets
Corrupted soul stones unleashing madness

Celestial law forebode these transgressions
Enslaved by empyrean
One with one from the abyss
My beast-consumed essence smothered in sin

Longing for the release of imprisonment
Set free my spirit
Azurewrath torn from my grasp
The runeblade now wielded for dastardly tasks

Valor for nothing
Strength proven useless
Ordained to betray my closest companions
Forced to confessing all sacred secrets
Corrupted soul stones - unleashing madness

The world of mortals beware
This domain twisted by fear
Twisted by fear

Save yourself noble warrior
Far too much blood has been spilled on my accord
For eons I descended into this haunted enchantment
Death must cast me down, all hope I have abandoned

Set in motion unspeakable deeds
Unstoppable by mortal agencies
Into your world spills forth pure blasphemy
You and your kind are doomed

How can one so consecrated fall so far from righteousness?
Oblivion is my reward
I seek not forgiveness
Quintessence descends into eternal purgatory
A failed conquest for glory

Trapped within this infernal soma
I roam the plains of despair
Sentenced to serve the forces of darkness
Exiled to these forsaken realms

In ages past a once trusted ally
Leading an ill-fated siege
Upon this nefarious fortress
I fell victim to their perverse masteries

Valor for nothing
Strength proven useless
Ordained to betray my closest companions

This world of mortals beware
This domain twisted by fear
Twisted by fear


3. INTO THE AZURE

Rage against the dying of the light

This barren land grows more brittle with every passing day
Horrid conditions have deterred us from true destiny
We used to gaze into the azure in astonishment
Now we glare down at our confinement in dirt

The pretension of our ways has led us to this dust filled prison
The eidolons are beckoning us to our salvation
A theshold manifested to another constellation
We venture forth into the unknown

I cannot be your ghost, I must do this, lest we perish
I will return, devotion burns for you eternally
Although light years will separate us from the ones we love
Our hearts in time will forever beat the same

Rage against the dying of the light

Passing now through the atrium of distorted time and space
No control beyond the three dimensions
Bare witness to the majesty

Foreign worlds proven hostile
Ages passing within minutes
To salvage all I must transcend across this labyrinth

Now I can see
At last
Beyond the horizon

Flashes of light and dark glide across peripheries
The laws of mortal beings abandoned on this journey

Drift though manifestations, memories immortalized
Communicate the message, a vision realized

The tesseract collapsing, lead me to deliverance
Found within arcadia, thriving in the centerfuge
Reunited finally, behold the fruits of virtue
Accomplished that impossible

I will search for a new home amongst the distant galaxies
To find the one who I've reached out to between dimensions
Transcend this existence, carry out this legacy
Fulfill a life led by the highest capability

Rage against the dying of the light


4. VERACITY

I wasn't prepared for this
And neither were you
Sacred silence intensifies
Bringing light to the truth

Spending eternity wondering
Is there a purpose in sentience?
We asked not for tribulations
We inherit them

Maelstrom, time, essence
Perpetually rotting from inside
Subliminal forces waging war in our minds

Fading into obscurity
Attempting escape
Though not unscathed

Scarred from the vices we succumb to willingly
Soul destroying
Bound to a life devised to harvest suffering
The reckoning
Lost amidst the ghosts intoxicating air you breathe
Nauseating
Rise beyond the onslaught of this mass hypocrisy
Veracity

The secrets of the universe
Are yet to be revealed
But you may discover the courage
To break the wheel

Grow into something more
Far greater than yourself
Don't let the ego rob you of your senses
Embrace it's death

Sorrow seemingly endless
Is it the guilt of indulgence?
United we will never be
Until faced with eternity

The secrets of the universe
Are yet to be revealed
But you may discover the courage
To break the wheel

Grow into something more
Far greater than yourself
Don't let the ego rob you of your senses
Embrace it's death

The other world resides here as do we
So perfect only in my dreams I see veracity


5. FRINGE OF THE EARTH

In the mist of the highlands
Lies a thrall with no name
I lay confined by these heathens
Reduced to rot in this cage

Forced to fighting to the death
Mercilessly I slay
I ask not for this blood on my hands
Yet there is no other way

The days continue endlessly
Far to the fringe of the earth
Only the progeny shows compassion
For all that it's worth

In the wake of imprisonment
A vision enters my dreams
Metaphysical forces at work
Leading me to an escape

The nithing pole now displays
The head of my captor impaled
Set out across this terrain
Only to be derailed

The innocent one by my side
Approaching the bastards of Christ
The bodies lie bare and burned
In twisted sacrifice

The crusaders are weary of our origin
They gaze upon us while casting out their judgement
They know the deeds I have committed to survive
Attempting to indoctrinate and poison every mind

We sail out into the promised holy land
Directionless we fade into a cursed oblivion
The fools' prayers will forever go unheard
Only to be betrayed by their hollow words

Indicted for their failed pilgrimage that we detest
In cowardice they strive to kill us while we rest
Devotion driving men into insanity
Ill prepared, inevitable reckoning

Endless warfare dwindling
Brave men
Into savagery

Remains of the fallen ones
Warnings
Suffering to come

No gods sanctified this land
Deceived
Lost within bedlam
Lost
Lost within bedlam

In the mist of the highlands
Lies a thrall with no name
I lay confined by these heathens
Reduced to rot in this cage

The days continue endlessly
Far to the fringe of the earth
Only the progeny shows compassion
For all that it's worth

To this endless corruption
I will never bend
I'll make the sacrifice
For a new life to begin


6. THE WEIGHT OF DARKNESS

Macrocosms shrouded within the absence of light
The universe cannot support the weight of darkness
From the eruption of stars the deliverance of the gods
Over centuries time has faded legends into myth

The storms grow fierce as the crystalline orb approaches
Tearing rifts into the stratosphere

Cursed in conception framed as the descendant of a demon's affliction
Left to die plunging into the top soil from fathoms above
Yet through the haze of demise flew a shimmering phoenix
Seizing me only moments before an untimely death

The god of fire and ash now rises from the molten chamber
Shifting semblance into instruments of death

I call apon the gods to vanquish this smoldering menace
Granted at the beasts defeat a topaz from the holy shrine
Summoned from the depths of the sea, rises a wretched beast
Beneath the tidal waves, tentacles begin to drown me

Saved by the kiss of a sorceress, I ascend from a fathomless death
But within the midst of my rescue, the under sea beast grabs hold of my savior
In the act of sacrifice, her majesty vanishes with the leviathan
I am left to face these malevolent forces alone

A looming eclipse will beckon the eight-headed dragon's emergence
Spewing flames of hatred across desolate lunar terrain
We must converge our energies to slay this demon.
Rise now as the warrior of the gods.

Off with the heads of the beast.
The phantom sealed within the jewel
The abomimation lies imprisoned forever more


7. THE BURNING MOUNTAIN

Forced into exile
Attacks proven futile
Haunted by memories of the deceased

The god of destruction
Punishing corruption
Atonement for mankind has been now been unleashed

Unleashed

Return across cosmos
Ambushed at the outpost
By creatures developed beyond centuries

The wind blows pernicious
Resources venomous
Atmospheres suitable only to these beasts

No chance of escaping
The ground below quaking
As the behemoth rages relentlessly

Rising above mountains
And shaking the heavens
The wrath of the divine claims all in its wake

Now in defeat we begin corse for the arsenal
Hope vanishing this pursuit seeming impossible
Fear raining down now submitting to the hopelessness
One chance to win resting within the living machine

The liquid metal pierces through the winged serpents
The plated city reeking strong of pollution

Mechanical vultures taking flight into the gloomy skies
Evolution of malicious technology blinding our mortal eyes

The burning mountin rises to engage in battle
With the breath of storms and a thunderous rage commanding destruction

Absorbing energies far past our comprehension
The citadel obliterated by forces of nature

Indoctrination spreads like disease
The hopeless masses fall to their knees
Submit to altars of interdimensional beings

Three heads descend from black holes in the sky
The king of the void has now been realized
To consume the planet and devour all mortal life

Towering daemon
Rising from the dawn
Destroying the spawn

Still this hate burns me
Men are the true beasts
End this cruelty
