1. BREATH OF THE BLACK MUSE

Open your mouth boy
Just to swallow your teeth
I will not pay the price for your self-inflicted grief
My meekness lies there shivering and raped
Trembling prophet
Anointed wrath of God incarnate

Cutting and tearing dissection
Strangled and hanging before me
Weeping and screaming become you
Carry out your suffering

Raise your fist boy to bring upon your demise
Never had a clue what waited behind these eyes
Your body torn apart
You could not escape
Trembling prophet
Anointed wrath of God incarnate

Cutting and tearing dissection
Strangled and hanging before me
Weeping and screaming become you
Carry out your suffering

Inspiration from your damnation
Your breath blackens my lungs

You marked the line to guide my first incision
Breath of the black muse...

Inspiration from your damnation
Your breath blackens my lungs


2. THE RISING END (THE FIRST PROPHECY)

Bombs rain down like heaven's tears
The earth shall die and disappear
And today we wish the sky was grey
For now they're just black and empty

Ripped and torn from inside out
Things too dark to think about
No miracles, no bleeding hands
God has parted...

Bombs rain down like heaven's tears
The earth shall die and disappear
And today we wish the sky was grey
For now they're just black and empty

And when the end she comes
Rains down on everyone fire from the sky
And when the end she rides
Breathing out suicide, life and death are one

As a flame burns to touch the sky
So it shall be with man's cry
And this night all will pass away
And this night we shall die as one

And when the end she comes
Rains down on everyone fire from the sky
And when the end she rides
Breathing out suicide, life and death are one


3. THE LAST REVELATION (THE LAST PROPHECY)

There were none at his left hand
No man amongst his army
The earth has ripped herself open
And birthed from her wounds thick black clouds which covered the earth

It tears
I see blood in the air
I taste blood in the air
Dissected from heaven
Cut and stripped of her skin
We let it begin descending from heaven

An all-consuming cancer
Reaching to repent
We shall taste hate in its purest form
Reaching out for nothing
Choking on our words
While we hold our children

It tears
I see blood in the air
I taste blood in the air
Dissected from heaven
Cut and stripped of her skin
We let it begin descending from heaven

No cradle, no son
A mother of none

It tears
I see blood in the air
I taste blood in the air
Dissected from heaven
Cut and stripped of her skin
We let it begin descending from heaven


4. THE LAST SONG FROM ZION

His shadow floats upon the earth
Casting a song from the north upon the earth
Yeashua weeps a Zion song
Thy will of man
My kingdom gone

You place all your hatred upon my throne
Your hands from your own path
Curse the one that has made you
I see Cain in all your eyes.

I am laying down to go to sleep forever
I do not hide my face in shame at all
I do not cower before your blade
This is what your black hearts pray.

Time moves as slow as the oceans tide
Neon explosion in the haggard sky
No sun shall set
Lest we forget
Man's will be done.

I am laying down to go to sleep forever
I do not hide my face in shame at all
I do not cower before your blade
This is what your black hearts pray.

The last lamb,
The last hope,
The last song from Zion.


5. LIVE... FROM THE FUNERAL OF GOD

Live from the funeral of God
This is the day you've awaited, sponsored and celebrated
He has answered your prayers

Corpses have piled up with your riches
They have spilled over onto the earth
We spit and wear our fear like masks
Everything is locked into a form

Interrupt the feed

It's closing in...
The sky is so dark

Are men no worse than demons?
Are armies not thirsty for blood?
The desire of their hearts has been met
Eons and eons, decades of liars

Drunk with power atop a mountain of corpses
Their arms and legs fail and they crawl like serpents
To address those who are mourning
Live from the funeral of God

It's closing in...
The sky is so dark

There is no reason to be afraid
Everything is under control

We shall miss him


6. THE LESSER LIGHTS OF HEAVEN

The lesser lights of heaven are burning towards a dream
The eyes of mother bleeding
Cast their children to the sea
The lesser lights of heaven are screaming in our mind
Listening to the chorus
So divine and unkind

The lesser lights of heaven are burning for their son
Praying for the presence
That birthed them into one

The lesser lights of heaven
Their bodies but a flame
A sky that knows no distance
A cut that feels no pain

The lesser lights of heaven are bending towards your will
Cutting through the person
Who would rather die than kill

The lesser lights of heaven cast crowns before your throne
Dissipate into nothing
We truly are alone

The lesser lights of heaven are burning for their son
Praying for the presence
That birthed them into one

The lesser lights of heaven
Their bodies but a flame
A sky that knows no distance
A cut that feels no pain

Can we live through this?

The lesser lights of heaven are burning towards a dream


7. IN TIMES GONE PAST

I see it in your eyes
The tearing in your heart

As I awaken I learn first
First of dying and lying inside the ground forgotten
I learn of love
I learn of terror
I feel the curse inside my body

My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me and put this curse inside my body

We live within a curse and within the divine
We're born and raised to work
And then grow old and die in our golden time
Strange, cut and burnt then thrown into the tide I have lived and died
Lie beneath the ground, ascend into the sky

I feel the earth spinning slow
And winding down with the sun
I feel the curse inside my body
Running through my veins into my mind

My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me and put this curse inside my body

We live within a curse and within the divine
We're born and raised to work
And then grow old and die in our golden time
Strange, cut and burnt then thrown into the tide I have lived and died
Lie beneath the ground, ascend into the sky

I see it in your eyes
The tearing in your heart


8. PRAISE THE WAR MACHINE

The death of the omega pilots the war machine
We shall destroy the earth
Rebuild it
None shall inherit it
Blood turned into fire
Made to drink like wine
Pile up the countless corpses and on them we shall dine

We praise you, war machine
You've come to set us free
Run us through your jaws
Carry us off in your claws

Cut away body from soul
A slave freed from his master
Closing the spirit's eye to embrace this earthly tie

We praise you, war machine
You've come to set us free
Run us through your jaws
Carry us off in your claws

666, The number of man brought upon by man

The earth it shall burn bright tonight in our eyes
The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night
Praise the war machine
Burn tonight

The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night
Praise the war machine

Praise the war machine

Burn tonight


9. TRULY, TRULY, THIS IS THE END

They say death is an open door
Into another room
Within the city of the dead
Our new kingdom

They say we walk like dreams
Sharing the same breath
Seeing through the same eyes
A collective spirit

As we pray on his grave our words fall and decay

They say the earth it gives no peace
Nor does it take away
We all survive the grave
Unfortunate eternal

They say that in times past
A king walked in the sky
Until dethroned by man
Tribe of judas

As we pray on his grave our words fall and decay

Truly, truly, this is the end

It's not the same
I'm plagued with pain and I can't let go

This is the end


10. I LAY SLEEPLESS IN MY GRAVE

(Instrumental)


11. PSALM OF THE CITY OF THE DEAD

As we wait here for a sign
We are greeted by the end of time

These streets aren't paved with gold
You are my everything
My soul is growing cold
