Butchered by Moloch 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Screaming and burning, the infants aligned. The innocent ones, all precious and blind. They say it's an omen, they say it's a sign. Black rituals conjuring evil tonight. Moloch. Fearmonger gathering children souls. Waste of life, sacrifice, tiny death throes. Give him your young and feed this.. Bull headed monster whose fires cleanse your sins. Repent, repent to your idol. Gestate your sacrificial tokens. Alight, alight all your pyres. Descend to the lowest of low. Goddamn you all. Goddamn you all. Groveling mothers cry out in the night. Tormented psyches affix on the sight of new born flesh given to god and to flame. Smoldering ashes are all that remain. Moloch. Cinders of dead are given to womb. To recreate life and cast out the doom. A demon spawn breathing in earthen decay. Breaking the silence. to Moloch they pray. Butcher. Flash of the frail. Castrate. Take them to hell. Cleavers carving unholy runes into sinner born libations. Blackened markings refer the dead to the seeker of remains. Char dark souls flake into the ash of another brazen morn. Broken spirits cry helplessly for God to save their souls. Butchered by Moloch.

Seasons of Mist 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Gone, lost in this gravity. I can't seem to get stuck. In my ways of depravity. Fall in endless pits of empty lust. This is what I was born to be. Another cog in this realm of antiquities. Free falling through the meaningless. Shape-shifting with the morning mists. Draped in solace, born to lead. The archetype is ever in the eye. Return the dreaming to it's hallowed knees. In search of answers, we should look inside. Hell comes forth, bold and tame. The angel of the free and genuine. Lucifer with his eyes aflame. Wings of denial and the loss of time. Unholy fog wraps around me. Forsaken men claw at my cloak. The labyrinthine minds of the tortured. The plight of the unnamed and thus forgotten. Scheming demons control the thought of man and child. Poised to take control of dreams and fears alike. And the masses forfeit their rights to be free minds. Just so they can sleep at night. Returning dreamers to subconscious ails and woes, seeking out the wretchedly adept. The Endless prosper when no one knows them or their plans. You're living now at their behest. A bird as black as onyx screams into your child's ear. At night the beasts unleash their will to sow discord and fear. Projecting images into your psyche while you dream. Hell is unleashed and we have not noticed a thing. Malpractice in the way that we conduct ourselves. Earth is spinning, we are dwindling, can't control our hells. The pendant ankh swings with calculated force. The pale man hears our whimpers, we dream forevermore. [Solo A. Strobel] [Solo J. Bender] [Solo A. Strobel] [Solo J. Bender] Darkest slumber, wrought with sand. Dreams cannot be held in mortal hands. Naked wonder in the midst of the vortex. Soul searching in the rushes of the nexus. I found loss in the emptiness. Break my mind, feed malevolence. Bloody sacraments, burning in Hell's fist. Close to my eyes to the seasons of mist.

Architect of Enslavement 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Servants. My servants will bow before me, their creator. Dismissive. Dismissing their wants and their needs for salvation. Unholy. Legions of fiery beasts consuming. Devour. Incessant tears for the lives I have taken. Feed me my children. Pour me damnation. Choke on the semen. And bring revocation. The shaitan is soaring; with the Furies of Abaddon. Just like the scriptures shall warrant. I'm building your torment. Contorting your body to fit my desires. The blood is congealing, incisions still crying. Enslavement of nameless and false bearing fools. Inherent damnation, you're all human tools. [Solo A. Strobel] Give me a reason. Name your transgression. Speak of the treason. And please my obsession. Endless, your screams and whimpers fill my chamber. Vacant, your eyes are pits that hold your anguish. I am the architect of enslavement. Justified torture to fulfill my needs. A legion of servants to take on my seed. The empire of torture held firm in my hands. I'll not rest until my fist chokes all this land. Severely disturbing. Uncontrollably contagious. Irrevocably disastrous. Justifiably hellacious. The halls of denial now sigh with contentment. Breathe easy my servant for now's your ascension to reclaim the novelty called freedom at last. Hold tightly y dearest, this too shall not pass. A thousand more bodies below you close in. Your nightmare is living and now there's no end. King. Defiler. Retainer of hopes gone amiss. The condemnable damning of innocent souls, the inherent return to the sucking abyss. Hail. Deceiver. Conjoining the sinful and damned. I gathered you here to receive my due payment. Now ruin yourself for your king of enslavement. Ruin yourself for your king of enslavement. Ruin yourself for my vain entertainment.

Wendigo 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Scarlet eyes. A burning midnight. The curse set loose with malformed deception. "I'm alive!", the soul it cries. The beast comes forth with putrid intentions. Distant galloping of a skeletal abomination. Unbirthed atrocity, mutations dig deeper within. Cannibalistic; the monarch it feeds. Ritualistic; the artery bleeds. Begging for flesh and the taste of new skin. Dank earthen corpses, hunt never ends. Encased by fallacy, written law is cast to the ground. Demonic prophecy, the hunter is moved by the sound. Insatiable hunger, unquenchable thirst. Forsaken by god, disowned by the earth. Relentless contortions, the pain never ends. Trapped in this body, chained to this sin. Believers come forth! Cast fealty to me. My vicar, my minion, my prophet to be. I retch at the sound of your name. The wendigo's here. The wendigo's here! Bloodlust has taken over my mind. No memories, no love. Just endless genocide.

Before Cerberus 04:11
lyrics
buy track
In the third circle, I see it dwell. Stormwinds of hate, third circle of Hell. Feeling the breath in the throat of the beast. Erupting bark, crimson eyes, gnashing of teeth. Eyes cast down on the souls of the damned. The wealthy die here for the lives they have spanned. Tormenting souls for their gluttonous ways. The beast now eats, it's them he will slay. Behold demon Cerberus, his domain now accursed. Fierce and strange, the damned in chains. Bearing his claws, clenching his fangs. Gluttony a sin for thee. Just to see the beast set free. Rip my flesh and break my bones. The price of greed, now I know. Behold the demon. Third ward of Satan. Behold the demon. Third ward of Satan. [Solo J. Bender] [Solo A. Strobel] Behold demon Cerberus, his domain now accursed. Fierce and strange, the damned in chains. Bearing his claws, clenching his fangs. Gluttony a sin for thee. Just to see the beast set free. Rip my flesh and break my bones. The price of greed, now I know. My guardian speaks despicable deeds. The unholy hordes, their unholy needs. Of all of the torture and all of the pain; the ceaseless beatings, the conflagrant rain. Hellfire, brimstone, torment and shame. Sinners and demons alike in their chains. With Cain as my witness, I say unto thee, "Get on your knees for the hell hounds three." Behold the demon. Third ward of Satan. Behold the demon. Cerberus. Begging for mercy but now it's too late. The demon who lives here is nothing but hate. Lucifer's pet now free to roam. Crushing our hopes, invading our homes. Bringing us back to the hell we have forged. Living our lives, fully engorged. I sit and watch the beast eat your soul. Gnawing and crunching devouring you whole. Eat you whole. Before Cerberus.

Arterial Nightmare 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Carving out my place in hell. Restrained no more by empathy. Contemplating certain death, I loose my bonds with mortality. Carnage. Chaos. Murder. Manacles keep you locked in place. Your face in stretched in agony. The stench of bile and gasoline conform themselves to memory. Severed arteries swinging from the stumps. The sight of your corpse bathed in crimson gets me off. Smothering the urges to ejaculate posthumously, I kneel before you to deliver my chainsaw eulogy. Blade inside the throat. Suffering, you choke. Fucking your mouth raw. Bleeding on the saw. Gargling my chains. Take my name in vain. Arterial nightmare flows. Your essence dries up for my CHAINSAW DEEPTHROAT Sacrificial slaughter discovered in membrane. In life, you were pathetic. In dying, you're the same.
