Age of Silence

Thoughts escape me – mind dies
Words now fall short – time moves slowly, life fades swiftly
Dreams of my youth – vanquished
Left to perish – through my choices, I’m left voiceless
I have been struck deaf and mute – repressed
Left to die in solitude - anguish
Once I was in full control
Deceived the masses – in my hour I had power
Shown for a fraud – branded
Banished outcast – Accomplice hung, they took my tongue
I have been struck deaf and mute – repressed
Left to die in solitude – anguish
Words better left unspoken
In silence lies integrity
Better left unspoken
Understood conspiracy

Embodiment

Hatred flows through my veins
My feelings, primal at best
Submit – fall to your knees
And feel my psychotic need
Embrace, bodies turned cold
The ancients chanting enraged
Reject paths you have chose
Now leave you writhing in pain - you now
Feel my pain – feel my pain
Prophecies lost
Conclusions now all unfold
Repent, pray you’ll be saved
Derision – searching for god
You find hypocrisy
Fanatics spreading disease
Twisted ways to achieve more power
Premise of hope – denied
Feel my pain – feel my pain
Free my mind from pain locked inside – Embodiment, embodiment
Grasp at faith – emptiness is all I find
Now I see, I was not meant for this
Twisted lies, they were just full of shit
No escape, for me there’s nothing left
My release, a path that ends in death
Lessons learned by others, my disgrace
Evil most extreme the human race
Free yourself, don’t believe their doctrines
No remorse, forgiveness, mortal sin

Consequence

Ten thousand eyes
Looked to you today
Before they recognized, realized, they were prey
Five thousand lives
Cut short so tragically
Never to see tomorrow, pure sorrow, misery
Lost on this night - Just as I said it would be
Poison the masses endless greed unsatisfied
Absorbed by arrogance you laugh at those who die
A missed connection, a change of fate
Now suffer by the hand of anger you create
Hellbound – Hellbound
Ten thousand eyes
Look the other way
Blinded by corruption, destruction, lead astray
Five thousand lives
Scream to be saved
No one to hear wailing, limbs flailing, in dismay
Vengeance this night – Fulfill this dark prophecy
You crossed the master now disaster meets your lies
A smashed rebellion doomed to fail and left to die
Your world in chaos – your world enslaved
Provocateur, conspirator, you dug your grave
Forced acquiescence was your lesson severed ties
Exposed deceiver from your face I reap grim cries
Engaged in torture – increase the pain
To mutilate, your tongue I’ll take, yourself to blame
Never to speak a lie again
Time to make the change
Every decision scrutinized
Subversive rebel lobotomized
The verdict in sentence begins – tonight
Unborn – filled with a hatred of life
Reborn – embrace the darkness inside
Dark allegiance sworn x 3
Evil twisted form

Malfated
03:47
|

|
Within chaotic orders of demise
Circles of Cyrus combine
Align – malfated synthesis occurs
Covert agents under the knife
Life – through malfated eyes
Life – through malfated eyes
Sacrificial transformation made
In trance, all gaze at the blade
Crawling out of corpses in the blood
Demons go free in the night
Life – through malfated eyes
Life – through malfated eyes
Kicked down, beaten, dragged away
Inject drugs that take control over the mind
Stay down, you’ll never get away
Reject or you’ll feel the pain of a cracked mind
Unholy words in my heart, in my mind
Reopened wounds – I’m still bleeding
So be it – I’ll bide my time
Conjuring words in my throat, in my brain
Unholy child – I’m still breeding
So be it – I’ll bide my time
So be it – I’ll fuck you blind

Initiation
03:06
|

|
In your mind – look what we find
Blinding eyes – mentally sodomized
Target set – there’s no regrets
Time to slay – initiation day comes
Reality forsaken
Now you meet your maker
Taste the kill – the obscene thrill
Spilling blood – unholy brotherhood
Joined at last – homicide pact
Stricken prey – untimely judgment day falls
Student becomes mentor
Assumes the role creator – soul taker
You can’t reclaim your soul
Inner circle closes, closing eyes
Underworld confused by twisted lies
Forced to meet submission face to face
Your initiation you shall taste
Now I’m in the circle, desperate and alone
Your depletion, my completion, murdering your drones
Brought before your master, armed yet on my knees
Infiltration, perpetration, curing your disease

Your Demise
03:02
|
|||
|
Locked up but guilty of no crime
Psychotic narcissistic – indifferent in my mind
Truth lies and justice is not blind
The ties that bind – Despondent I cry YOU’LL DIE
Filled with wrath the coming blade that
Finds your back before you can
Restrain my body now I seethe
The scales of justice tilted – obscured uncertainty
My rage my vengeance what you feed
Daylight a dream – In darkness I scream YOU’LL BLEED
On this night intentions violent
In my sights brutality sent
I raise my weapon this knife
Bound to the table and now - I slice
Mercy denied – beg for the pardon you seek
Hope nullified – leaving you worthless and weak
Meet your demise

Grim
03:31

When chaos winds collide who will be left to decide – our fate
Grim determination, perseverance of the soul
Homicide, genocide – kill the things that we decide
Policies that tax us all – things that we cannot control
Governed by lunacy – overthrow the hierarchy
All these things taken in sum – we shall overcome
Grim determination, perseverance of the soul
Homicide, genocide – kill the things that we decide
Policies that tax us all – things that we cannot control
Governed by lunacy – overthrow the hierarchy
All these things taken in sum – we shall overcome
Inverted peace – symbol of truth
Just one more fix – systematic abuse
Setting our sights – on fallacies
Doctrine of hate – diplomacy
Hatred virus rams through your subconscious
Leaves your psyche tortured, outlook grim
Inverted peace – symbol of truth
Just one more fix – systematic abuse
Setting our sights – on fallacies
Doctrine of hate – diplomacy
Hatred virus rams through your subconscious
Leaves your psyche tortured, outlook grim

Suffersystem

Tear it fucking down
Born to serve the suffer system, in torment, submission
Reap the waste of hell in servitude
Unform the mass of rot, relentless, chaotic and senseless
Well beyond perception and subdued – Your lies
Only the subconscious mind can perceive and release
No choice but to kill
State broadcasted propaganda, divided, commanded
Civil warfare rising in the streets
And on our backs they grow malignant, infect us, destroy us
Force the poison, feed the bottom line – More lies
Only the subconscious mind can perceive, you leave me
No choice but to kill
Burning down the suffer system, shock doctrine rejection
Xenophobic thoughts defeated lie
Upon the grave of screams defiant, destroying the giant
Humanistic vision realized – Dead cries
Laughing as you die
