Every day, awakening, to the crushing pain Terrified of the noise inside, and those who come for me Tied down, beaten subdued Needle forced in my veins “Sedate him for his own good, Silence his inane cries.” Twisted version of care Drugged to stupidity A burden I shall not be Left to rot alone, deep inside this hell! Scorched by the fire, burning inside, the voices tormenting me Instructing me to destroy all life, struggling to resist Carnage all around me The dead, all that I see Burnt flesh, the smell so sweet Shocked how this pleases me Excited by the notion Of obeying their evil rule Dismembering, severing Corpses piled beneath My feet! Scorched by the fire, burning inside, the voices tormenting me Instructing me to destroy all life, I cannot resist! Their vision Destruction Oblivion Obliteration Never ending Always screaming Resist with all my will Please, just let me out!

I turn and face the horde, bearing down upon me I will stand my ground, I will never flee Minions by my side, we are strong and mighty Slaying every foe with brutality Forces, swarm, rise, numbers are strong, meet my sword, fall one by one Morale crumbles, weary and tired, realizing, all will fall Legions surround me, seeking vengeance, I give them one choice: Serve or die! Corpses grinding underneath the gears of war, endless corruption is fueling the engines of death Breaking their bones, tearing apart, devouring, consuming what lies in our path Crushing their skulls! I grow now in power, their strength becomes mine I absorb their will, once meant for their queen Our armies increase, as they join my side Those who remain, shake in terror Their essence, drained, given to me, choices made, power is mine I become, a god in their eyes, once faithful to her see their folly In distant lands, all shall hear of our conquest None shall rise, lest they be damned Corpses grinding underneath the gears of war, endless corruption is fueling the engines of death

Disenthrall 03:00
Awaken, soul-crushing nightmare Eyes open, terrified stare Your constant yearning, pray to the sky, but there’s no answer, no one to hear your cry! So empty, a lifetime of faith Brings nothing, no escape Cold terror, gripping your heart Is heaven real? Is your hell just a farce? Now you’re broken, ‘cause you believed a lie You face the truth, no one’s there when you die Your constant yearning, pray to the sky, but there’s no answer, no one to hear your cry! Acceptance, reluctant sigh Time wasted, days gone by Will you dare, to look outside And see the world, as if for the first time? Now you’re open, you don’t believe the lie Accept the truth, no one’s there when you die Take all your faith, programmed beliefs, cast them aside and become renewed Searching for truth, searching for answers, stare into the face of oblivion Cast out their god, controlling religion, seeking within and without till the end Free of all the fear and guiltiness!

Enigma 04:00
Join me on this, wicked journey Delving through lore, and prophecy To unravel, the mystery Identify Adversary Long ago, it has been told, the hosts would bow, before mankind, but There was one, who would refuse, and thus deny, his maker and be Cast, from high Fall, hurling from the sky Shunned, denied Condemned, stripped of all glory Cursed to roam, this wretched soil, given the earth, as his domain, and To be named, tempter of old, seducer and accuser of all man To become the face of corruption Embodiment of malice and pain Method of control by the holy The ultimate play on all your fears “Come unto me, you will serve Come unto me, you are damned And unto me you will bow Eternally at my command!” Devil, Satan, or Lucifer? Azazel, Ba’al, or Ben-Sahar? Iblis, being of smokeless fire, ruler of Jinn, or Mastema? For centuries, shrouded in fear, quiet aversion, anathema Or the power (of) belief in self? Subject to no god, king, or man Own desires, labeled as vile, cast off those chains, embrace thy will Saved in damnation!

You have failed me time after time Once again you've crossed the line Care for no one but yourself Love and kindness are your lies Think you can overwhelm me I've a surprise for you Never again will I accept your sins Time has come for your demise Narcissistic Parasite Psychopathic Prepare For your fucking doom! At last I lay my curse, upon your head, and laugh as you burn Behold the hour, of your end, torment and pain! Fire, burns your face, suffocates, annihilates!!! Now that my curse has taken hold, fire consumes that which was once whole Cast out body broken in the frigid cold corpse lies the crows tearing flesh from bone, There is no one who'll mourn your soul, forgotten you shall be I, your destroyer, all that remains, reveling in your demise

Still dawning, cursed morning (x2) I rise again, heart long since turned to stone, steel grey and cold as the gaze in my eyes A vicious cycle, means to an end, blade at my side, destined to kill again They’ve come again, words from His Majesty, find the accused, doomed to die by my hand Void of emotion, complete the task, no longer, remembering the past! Long, lost, innocence! I have forgotten the man of my youth; smiles and laughter, now foreign and strange Wife, child, plague took from me, now only pleasure is taking lives of the damned! Flag raised again, blood red reminder, my only purpose to serve and fulfill Axe falls, blood spilled, precision, empty perfection Sun rise again, long only for the day, blade falls to steal all the light from my eyes
7.
I summon you, minions, wondering the earth The time has come to follow me, into the fire! Unleash all your rage and hate, let the fury flow through your veins Cast aside all your weaknesses, come into the ways of power Listen now and hear my words, you can find the mastery Take control of your relentless hate, focus will and be consumed with rage! WE HAVE THE (X4) STRENGTH WITHIN OURSELVES! Let your fury burn with a purpose, pursue it with tenacity Never be oppressed by its power, be the beast and not the prey When the wolves close in around you, when the world comes down on your head When you’re afraid, alone and outnumbered, strength lies in your Crucible of Hate! WE HAVE THE (X4) STRENGTH WITHIN OURSELVES! I summon you, minions, wondering the earth The time has come to follow me, into the night

Born into this world of lies Nurtured by false truths Good intentions hid by pious mask Seeds of poison fruit Sewn into my soul Rot begins to take its hold Self-loathing and shame Become a man Awakening Search far and wide To find the path Deep into the dark I faced the beast To find the truth I must transcend Now I stand on higher ground Judged by those below I walk on and turn my face from them Lesser minds and weaker wills Can’t be held at fault Gazing ever inwards, seek enlightenment
9.
Past the spire, ever higher, grasp for peaks of snow, reaching into the sky Crippling, suffering, feel the weight, crushing me Rising up, ascending, all my days, conquering! Under starlit skies, seeking solace and, peace that never comes, eternal restless soul Crippling, suffering, feel the weight, crushing me Rising up, ascending, all my days, conquering! Until the last breath is on my lips Until the last warmth has left my face Ever will I stand Till I reach the end The works of my hands Monuments so grand From the highest point, over all I’ve done, see the truth that my, works will all turn to dust…
10.
The death of god Burning the throne Desecration Riding and hurling our curses across the sky Hunting and chasing the angels until they reach the end Trembling and scared, unable to save their creator Unholy death, Turning to dust before the one, who, has, enslaved you in your minds you must, break, free, escape the clutches of the faith! The end of days Ceasing his reign Reaching the limit of what we chose to endure Tearing the power and life from supposed holy one We have rebelled, against the program of the saints And we refuse, to follow the ruthless tyrant Known, as, god, ultimate narcissist, we won’t, obey, freeing our minds of ancient lies!
