Infelicity

Terror
As the shadow descends
And the darkness consumes all those who fight
Torture
In a pit of decay
A prisoner with no escape in sight
Trapped inside a prison camp
No hope, no food, just pain
Left alive to be a slave
It's driven you insane
INSTRUMENTS OF PAIN
Weapons
Of mass distraction
The horrors we unleash upon the Earth
Conquest
In the name of God
Holy wars that damn us from our birth
Propaganda keeps control
While fear breeds contempt
Strip them from their public voice
And crush every attempt
IGNORANCE IS BLISS
I look around and see a world that's full of hate and greed
A world with terror running free, killing with no need
A world where people see their gods, and decide that they must kill
Anyone who refuses to convert to their will
Escalating madness as peace is ripped to shreds
Bloody corpses on the ground, the results of addled heads
Echoes of artillery thunder across the sky
Racking up the casualties, it takes nothing to die
Humans
Dismembered with bare hands
Mutilated by a mob to start a war
Murder
In the name of God
Something we have all heard before
Governments cannot control
The bloodshed they ignite
Raging heat of civil war
The people want to fight
FOR THEY BELIEVE THEY'RE RIGHT
INFELICITY

Anthropogenic Eyes

This world flows
Through anthropogenic eyes
Seas increase
And deplete with the tides
Moonbeams cross
Selenephilic skies
Muses mate
Dressed atrate
As the garden spider grows
This world flows

The world’s gonna end tomorrow,
But you said that yesterday
Still the world’s in black and white,
And not in shades of gray
The world is full of liars,
The world is full of lies
The world is full of bloodshed,
As another person dies
YOU LIE, TO RISE,
NO COMPROMISE, FOR YOUR LIES
Just another anti-hero
In a magazine
You gotta keep up with your image,
Keep up with the scene
In the end you’re just a puppet
Hanging from a string
In the end, no one will care,
They’ve moved to the next big thing
YOU LIE, TO RISE,
NO COMPROMISE, FOR YOUR LIES
Governments spread propaganda,
Call it reality
They spread their hate and cloak their words
With false divinity
So fuck the corporations,
And fuck authority
Fuck the politicians,
And fuck the military
YOU LIE, TO RISE,
NO COMPROMISE, FOR YOUR LIES
NO MORE LIES.

The Ashes of Dissidence
05:19
|
|||
I am not the Holy one
I am not the only one
I am just a man out on my own
I am the ashes of dissidence from your decadence
Dying for Mother Earth
Dying for what it's worth
Dying from pollution in the air
I am the ashes of your dissidence from your decadence
Fire the ovens and burn all the covens
And hide the disgrace of the last hundred days
As you fall to your knees and ask your God please
And hope nobody sees what you have up your sleeves
As you go
Everything is full of light
Even though nothing's right
I am the ashes of your dissidence from your decadence
Now you've reached your pinnacle
Now you start your downward fall
Now you feel the hatred you have sown
I am the ashes of your dissidence from your decadence
I am the ashes of your dissidence from your decadence

Descanting Entropy

A darker shade of black, nothing but miles of sand
An isotropic, isolated, barren, empty land
Preserved for all to see, he died in infamy
He died a wanderer, lost in this infinity
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly falling into chaos, someday it all will fall
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly fall into chaos, someday it all will fall
A magnitude unheard of, disorder, disarray
A giant, subhuman, aggressive, manic mental play
Gravity holds us back, keeps us tied and holds us down
A warp within my mind that keeps me falling off the ground
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly falling into chaos, someday it all will fall
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly fall into chaos, someday it all will fall
ENTROPY, INSANITY, IN AN ENDLESS SEA, IT ALL WILL FREEZE
A black blade of disaster, a blackened, burned-out ruin
Synaptic static, erratic state of confusion
Chaos and anarchy, the sweetest ecstasy
Delirium, dementia, carnal acid imagery
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly falling into chaos, someday it all will fall
The madness in the method, crystalline, ephemeral
Slowly fall into chaos, someday it all will fall
ENTROPY, INSANITY, IN AN ENDLESS SEA, IT ALL WILL FREEZE

He Who Lurks in Darkness
06:54
|
|||
The masses gather in the churches by the pale moonlight
They pray that their ends won’t come tonight
But others know it is a desperate plight
‘Cause no one listens, no one cares, their doom is in the air!
From down below he comes to take the foolish ones
The world as we know it will never be the same
With the thunder as he rides, what he touches soon decays, no feelings
He takes what he wants, doesn’t care who they are, only knows he must destroy them all
He rides upon the night, greeting the darkness that will never be left
He commands a power like no other, he takes your life away
Fills it with darkness and pain, fear you never felt before is all that is left
Death is his name, now you know the truth as he laughs at your dismay
Comes like a thief in the night, never know when he strikes until it’s too late
You have no choice in which way you go
All is black and pain as you arrive at this place, Hell’s own gate
As he throws you in, your fate is sealed, and that you know… OH NO!
(Guitar solo)
He rides upon the night, greeting the darkness that will never be left
He commands a power like no other, he takes your life away
Fills it with darkness and pain, fear you never felt before is all that is left
Death is his name, now you know the truth as he laughs at your dismay
The masses gather in the churches by the pale moonlight
They pray that their ends won’t come tonight
But others know it is a desperate plight
‘Cause no one listens, no one cares, their doom is in the air.

There's no tomorrow, it's in your head
Lonely midnight, nothing said
A mind perverted and impure
Another mess we must endure
Your covidous complacency
Correlates complicity
Your hate filled conspiracy
Corrupts the whole community
You are the sworn enemy
Of freedom and equality
You are evil to the core
Orchestrating civil war
So much confusion in your wake
Makes it hard to stay awake
Your base just keeps on worshipping
As you dismantle everything
Crumbling chaos in the sky
How many more have to die
Before enough damage is done
Or has the carnage just begin
Do you even have a soul
Your lust for complete control
Is destroying democracy
We mist fight to remain free

Crushed
01:37
|
|||
All my dreams are shattered
All my hopes are false
All my thoughts misguided
All my life is lost
All my fates decided
All my plans in vain
All my words unspoken
Are buzzing in my brain
All my debts unsettled
All my fights un-won
All my goals are broken
Yet it has just begun
And in my time of weakness
All my might employed
Is nothing but intangible,
A shadow of the void

Ragnarok Divine
03:23
|
|||
For time will tell between two suns
Whether we are the chosen ones
Underground and in the air
Let's talk of nuclear warfare
In boiling oceans and blinding light
Mushroom clouds rise to great heights
An act of terrorism done
Who's to blame? Just blame someone.
You say that you hate me
You hit me, I hit you
We say things in vanity
Those words cannot be true
The horror, the evil
The world that we once knew
For the blood that we spill
The punishment is due
The longest night, eternal frost
Environmental holocaust
Fenris Wolf covers the sun
The age of Ragnarok's begun
In barren wastelands void of life
Mutants learn to live in strife
Of once great towns, ashes remain
From the giant hurricanes
You say that you hate me
You hit me, I hit you
We say things in vanity
Those words cannot be true
The horror, the evil
The world that we once knew
For the blood that we spill
The punishment is due
Darkness returns, then fades again
From dreams awaken, and then sleep again
Black upon the night, the ground bleeds red
Yet another war, this world is dead
You say that you hate me
You hit me, I hit you
We say things in vanity
Those words cannot be true
The horror, the evil
The world that we once knew
For the blood that we spill
The punishment is due

Hellfire Part One
07:16
|
|||
Deep in his eyes, the hell fires burned in his mind
For fire’s alive, and in a warped mind it will thrive
Please take my hand, and descend into darkness with me
A bloody cadaver, displayed for the whole world to see
Dying with no name
The liars feed the flame
Become the devil’s whore
Practice the art of war
Hear the liars fuel the fires
Feeding them for their dark desires
Destroy the sacred with religious hatred
For foolish pride, so many have died
THEY DIED
See them throwing stones and fragments of bones at the wall
Answered with guns and grenades, dozens fall
As they march in a line, ten thousand men side by side
In the name of their god, they gladly commit genocide
Dying with no name
The liars feed the flame
Become the devil’s whore
Practice the art of war
Hear the liars fuel the fires
Feeding them for their dark desires
Destroy the sacred with religious hatred
For foolish pride, so many have died
THEY DIED
And you know there’s no other way
Than to do just as they say
And you know that someday
That they’ll blow it all away
And then nothing will remain
But the damned and the insane
And you wonder why they don’t see
Such malicious blasphemy
A thousand years of bloodshed, eternal winter night
A thousand years of sorrow, igniting through the light
Upon the ancient battlement arrives a state unite
Lost the ancient strategies and the will to fight
THEY DIED
And you know there’s no other way
Than to do just as they say
And you know that someday
That they’ll blow it all away
And then nothing will remain
But the damned and the insane
And you wonder why they don’t see
Such malicious blasphemy

Now in the end, there is nothing much left to defend
Look to the sky, watch the Angel of Death descend
Nothing remains, nothing but miles of sand
No holy land is build on the bones of the damned
Dying with no name
The liars feed the flame
Become the devil’s whore
Practice the art of war
Hear the liars fuel the fires
Feeding them for their dark desires
Destroy the sacred with religious hatred
For foolish pride, so many have died
THEY DIED
And you know there’s no other way
Than to do just as they say
And you know that someday
That they’ll blow it all away
And then nothing will remain
But the damned and the insane
And you wonder why they don’t see
