Ignite
The constant stimulation
Driving the self-repression
Rewrite
The lines that kept us holding on
To being our vulnerable self
Subjugated to forming the 8th world wonder
Erase
The moral diffidence
Void the self-conscious barriers
Debase
Your genesis and frown upon
The capsized morals
We’ve become immortals
Faith unbroken
Devotion bespoken
Immerse, keep reliving
The curse that keeps on giving
Burdens dissipate
Meticulously arranged
Self-cultivated extension
To fill the void of despair
Willed to be
Subjugated to forming the 8th world wonder
Faith unbroken
Devotion bespoken
Immerse, keep reliving
The curse that keeps on giving
This system of operations,
This system is operating you
Welcome to the equation
Immerse, keep reliving
The curse that keeps on giving

Hollow Doctrine
03:31
|
|||
A feeble lamb, thrown down the gorge
The seed of downfall, drags it all down, to the grave
Sacrifice your soul for a broken entity
An empty space that swallows you whole
Hollowed out life
That swallows you whole
Dead on its feet, waiting for the blow
Eaten from the inside by its own unyielding code
Rooted deep
The ancient code
That breaks its spine
Under its weight
The collapsed progenitor
Thrown down the gorge
And swallowed by the earth
To feed the weak
Dead on its feet, waiting for the blow
Eaten from the inside by its own unyielding code
Feed on the flesh
The weak must suffer
Blood will prevail
Feed on, feed on!
Our tails we swallow
The rotten scourge prevails
Endless
Pitiful flock
Bite the hand!
Breed to subjugate the weak
Creed that carves its children futile
Obedience and deprivation,
The downward spiral brings you down
Down!
And swallows you whole
To feed the weak
Dead on its feet, waiting for the blow
Eaten from the inside by its own unyielding code

Peak Of Repression
04:20
|
|
||
Burden weighing me down to Earth,
Deprecated spirit has filled me with guilt.
I must atone for all that I have done,
Relive the misery that has fallen from my hands.
Wet cloth,
Draped across the face.
Not in drops but in rivers,
I will be washed away.
The pain you've suffered has left me in scars,
Carved a path of agony I constantly tread.
Your face revives the rot in my heart,
Amasses eyes to the speck that I am.
Mask of conviction,
Strewn across my face.
Lean yourself unto me,
Give me your self-worth.
I will dismantle your nature,
Leave behind and empty shell.
Floating to my redemption,
On the backs of my prey.
Carry me to my mountain,
The peak of repression.
You have brought this on yourself,
Sick needs of the flesh that needed to be scratched.
I took you where you desired to be,
And left you there for life.
Lean yourself unto me,
Give me your self-worth.
I will dismantle your nature,
Leave behind and empty shell.
Floating to my redemption,
On the backs of my prey.
Carry me to my mountain,
The peak of repression.

The Great Devourer
05:07
|
|||
Hide until the dawnlight casts
New shadows and alignments
Devise your designs to live among us
Leave no mind behind
Here comes the great devourer
Modelled by the hungry minds
Structures built, now time to drop the mask
And let these prophecies begin
Gather masses, pour the gasses
Extract the fumes from prosperous soil
Prepare the means for callow harm
Plunge into the unknown
Lost in these vast expanses
Tied in knots
Ride on the current
Of curses, faith sprayed with unknown
Confined to the tightest cluster of humanity
Burdened by silicone synapses
Traces set, no fleeing from this web
This trap that you were
Conceived into
Materialize to deteriorate
Manufractured
Robbed of chances for escape
Seal the maze, let final gaze be bright
Emblaze
Devise your designs to live
Bow down before the wondrous
All-seeing eye
And surrender your identity and your mind
To the mass that consumes it whole
Regurgitated thoughts cycled for aeons
And fed to you disguised as your own
Manufractured
Robbed of chances for escape
Seal the maze, let final gaze be bright
Emblaze
All hail!
The ones and the voids
Controlling all
Guiding everything
Hide until the dawnlight casts
New shadows and alignments

Blood Offering
05:08
|
|
||
A sacred carcass to praise the keeper
I’m the one to feed the everlasting flame once more
To quench its ache for blood
Consume the shroud and keep the floodgates open for the soil
For the soil
See my warm heart, grabbed from the rib cage
Raised high on display above the joyful crowds
Disrobed and painted blue
I´m the last of my own kin to feel the breath of life
After the stairs, the heat, the stench, the piles of skulls
Death is its sole relief
Delirious faces, earning our wages, whirling around
To diminish the wrath of the gods
We nourish the land and the sea with blood
Aimless in this wheel of chaos
Failed schemes and broken dreams
That were forced down by the unseen hand
What's left is the bitter admission of fate
Take me
Link me to the sun
I’m leaving for the edge of tomorrow
To rise again!
There’s nothing
All our oaths are broken
And I will not be the dawn
Heartless, left on the slab
Appeased are the vacuous gods
And the mountains of skulls will grow on
Aimless in this wheel of chaos
Failed schemes and broken dreams
That were forced down by the unseen hand
What's left is the bitter admission of fate

Branch And Bone
05:24
|
|||
Black dust, carried by a word of hope
Take this seed and plant it in your head
Pain is drawing near
Foretold by echoing laments
Crooked hands on the threshold of man
Branch and bone
Salvation from the soil
Waiting for death
Time will only tell
Sacrifice the earth
Nothing left to lose
All will bloom
In the wake of the fall of man
Dragged into sunlight
As it bathed in its guilt
And left behind forsaken mirth
It’s been carrying them for days
Brother, sister, mother, father bound as one
Hand plant seed
Mother’s arms
Waiting for death
Time will only tell
Sacrifice the earth
Nothing left to lose
It’s been carrying them for days
Brother, sister, mother, father bound as one
It’s been carrying them for days
Brother, sister, mother, father bound as one

Beast Of Prey
05:35
|
|
||
Drained, for all your life
Instilled by the congregation
Trembling strength concealed inside
Contradicting the choked up
Compelled discourse
Beast of prey...
Best of breed...
This is your face
No remorse or pity for the ill and weak
No more holding back your deepest core
It's your call, your instinct, your way to survive
So celebrate the feast or become extinct
Burst to the horde, discharge the beast within
Make them pray that they never saved you
Exploit your natural born gifts
Framed to take all life,
To lurk on the threshold of being
Feed on fear expelled in heat,
Unclouded judgement to persevere
Oh what a waste till this day, you were fed with lies
Of who you are and where you come from
Become the driver of evolution
A dawn for an arms race
Accumulate the adaptions
A constant struggle for diversification
Observe the reflection in the water
Gaze into your eyes,
Is the blood in your mouth shared with your brethren?
Beast of prey...
Best of breed...
This is your face
No remorse or pity for the ill and weak
No more holding back your deepest core
It's your call, your instinct, your way to survive
So celebrate the feast
Or become extinct,
A meaningless beast.
Set trails
To nourish another life
Down in this hole from living out your soul,
Soul
Set trails
To feed another day
A perfect creature of death,
You will reap the lives that exhaust the land,
Sowing the seed of new life.
Oh what a waste till this day, you were fed with lies
Of who you are and where you come from
Become the driver of evolution
A dawn for an arms race
Accumulate the adaptions
A constant struggle for diversification
Observe the reflection in the water
Gaze into your eyes,
Is the blood in your mouth shared with your brethren?
It's your call, your instinct, your way to survive
So celebrate the feast
Or become extinct

Burning Machines
07:02
|
|||
Time has faded into a void
Faces blur into one
Those around me lost in their tracks
I am soon to follow
No choices led me here
I was born to be a slave
Flesh and bones turned to a machine
The cycles never end
Hearts beating to feed the gears
Another pulse bolsters the damned
Minds and souls are left behind
What’s left is only greed
Embers neath my skin
Set ablaze my disdain
Bent on rupture
Morals disintegrated
Grinding hands
Channeling darkness towards
Mother’s lingering womb
Burning deep within
I embrace the flame
Used till I am ashes
I am one in many
Relentless hands of smoke
Cast a veil of black
Suffocating seas
Creeping forward
Iconoclast
Licking my lungs
Poisoning every tissue
I have given birth to our death
Sacrificed all that matters
As the flames keep carrying me on
Draining every drop from me
In time, cinders left behind will light up
Faded, my remains will feed a new machine
Burn bright
The will is broken, torn
My shadow has proclaimed itself
As my master
I have persevered through all
Standing at the highest point
Carved a lifetime of pain and guilt
For a grand insignificance
Embers neath my skin
Set ablaze my disdain
Burning deep within
I embrace the flame
Used till I am ashes
I am one in many
