Prometheus I: Aether
02:46

Upon the precipice
Of the towering pulpit of the Earth,
Above the ruins of the broken dream of creation,
The tyrants of old demand of all things
Reverence they do nothing to deserve.
Perpetual hunger devouring mortal souls and flesh.
The children of creation suffer
Slowly awaiting certain death,
Watching a world void of light
Crumbling to dust before their eyes
Shall I honour you? What for?
Have you softened the pains of burden?
Have you silenced the tears of anguish?
O holiest of burning hearts.

Prometheus II: Genesis
05:15
|

Mankind pushed to the brink of destruction
By the tyrants of the sky
With the feet of the gods at their throats
Left with broken spirits and bones.
I see a waste of life breathed into bones of clay,
With souls shattered to pieces.
They will be like me
Suffer as I suffered,
Weep as I wept,
Live as I live
And they will bear the disdain that I bear,
For the tyrannical swine
Who took their will to stay alive.
They took their will to stay alive.
They rise to their feet with their eyes to the sky,
I will teach them to see.
In feeble vessels of flesh and blood,
Of skin and bone
They will become unbreakable,
They will become unyielding
They will take the world in their hands.
They will never relent in the face of defeat
And they will carve their names into the face of Earth
Breathe.
You are free to paint the Earth and the sky
A spark of hope in a dying world,
May you go forth and create.
Create as I created,
And build your world with pride,
Bring your visions to reality.
Take in your hands,
Sacred element of life
Retrieved from the heavens above
I give you fire

The Gift of Fire
02:34
|

The titan's gift, a most potent ordination,
The power of the sun exists within our hands.
A sacred branch of flame,
Energy perpetual, the lifeblood of our nation.
A beating heart that destroys all it touches,
A dichotomy of life and destruction,
With limitless potential, the fire rages.
This is man's first real lesson: Everything burns.
Suddenly the enemy no longer stands a chance,
Watch the flames reveal that this world was never his at all.
We watch his flesh burn, his bones dissolve in fire.
We will be the titans of the Earth that we seek to create and conquer.
We exist to incinerate the filth
And cleanse the world with our gift of fire.
We will cleanse the world with the gift of fire.
Prosperity and morality,
Can there be more natural enemies?
We watch their walls crumble, we watch our armies grow
With flame and sword in hand, we watch our enemies fall
To the might of our fire.

Before the dawn there lie
Creatures that wish to only call you their own
Through the pain and darkness
The heavens can hear their cries
"Pull back!" Calling echoes from behind
The howling of a curse is something that can't known
Draining the flesh that is ours
Welcome to a new era of hell
Creeping through the black the pain is just too much
A pungent smell, the vile stench of putrid scum
Leaps and bounds, across the ground they walk upon
Watch the sun become the night
The world above will not longer harbour them
The world below will no longer stand by them
Good night good luck is all that is said to the few that remain
Then the antidote is no longer within your reach
A fiction of all hope created for the weak
This is their way of life
As infected choke on their souls
Creators that infect and devour
The transformation almost complete
With the future of the entire human race.
With the future of the entire human race in the palm of my hand,
The burning desire of the undead mind
Goodnight good luck is all that is said
To the few that remain
With the future of the entire human race
In the palm of my hand,
“Good night, good luck” is all that is said
To the few that remain

Nether II: Hindsight
05:22
|
|||
As shadows dance around my vessel
In the lightless nether,
I wait to find the endless oceans of the eternal dead.
Oh angel of liberation, take me,
Take me to where the bodies lay to rot and waste away
As the untethered souls of the enslaved fly free.
How now the oceans have swollen.
Tainted, with the blood of the fallen.
I see the flame whose light would keep away the demons,
Whose warmth filled my blood with hope in the face of despair.
Reflections, fragments of shattered scenes,
Mere spectres, as smoke is spectral flame.
I submerge in the blackened waters
I pray for the day the tides will rise
And extinguish the ember that clings to life.
Throw me to the ocean floor,
So that I may find peace,
So that I may sleep.
I saw the light leave your eyes as your lungs filled with sorrow
I watched you drown in the raging tides of misery.
It should have been me.
The wretched flame that burns my mind fills my bones with pain.
Tethered to the curse of life, agony I can’t escape
As I stare into the face of the abyss, I lose the will to die.
I can't breathe, I can't stop breathing.
So fall the shards of a shattered mind.
Take me to the place where I can see my friend again

Alone
04:03
|

“You do not belong here”
“You are all alone”
Bodiless voice of the ethereal abyss,
A guardian angel turned sinister
A victim of a virus of the unconscious mind
A violent, psychotic contagion,
Infecting innocent youth
Contorting the senses,
Raining fire upon the mind of it’s host
An infection of pain and malice,
Growing in the soils of isolation,
A burning desire to destroy,
To rain fire from the sky upon the Earth
“They are going to hurt you”
“They will never love you, they never have”
“They will suck the blood from your veins
Until you beg for death”
Guardian angels,
Voices of fate, please speak to me
My only light in a world of darkness,
Show me the way.
Rage. A blaze of destruction,
Burning the mind.
Abyss, void of light,
The soul withers away
Demons rise
They paint my pain upon my skin
They reach inside,
I’m being ripped apart from within
Unloved, unwanted, insane,
With only my demons for company
At least I’m never alone
They are all I have.
They are all I’ve ever had.

He Who Dwells In Grime
03:34
|
|||
Subterranean banishment
A purpose of fear that dwells beneath the earth
The cries of the immortal realm
Call to me to bring you back home.
The bitter sweet succulent taste of souls
A pungent flavour to the senses
A pitiful sound, a wail of weakness
Disgust brought forth from the depths
The voices that follow you will be forever embedded until your demise
Unknown is the figure that lurks and will stalk you so swiftly deep into the night
Run while you still can, I know exactly where you can be found
Forever beware "he who dwells in grime"
Brought back from the wastelands
To wonder through aeons of cold
Vicious thoughts surround you
The ones found in your dreams
You think your fire will save you now?
You feel the coldness i bring?
The day of doom has come at last
The worms, they dance to the sounds of my song
So sensual is the poison that will soon fill your lungs
Centuries of torment wait for you
Oh won’t you join me, so deep beneath the swamp?
So be prepared demons invade,
The unspoken be their name
The sound of footsteps slither up from behind
Forever beware “he who dwells in grime”.

Prometheus III: Nemesis
04:53
|

Vile scum of the earth, serpent hearted,
Hybrid of ape and swine,
Viral in nature they scurry and spread,
To cover the Earth in filth
Rape and bleed her dry
Rape until she dies
At the hands of her favourite children.
Sucking the marrow from her bone,
Crushing all life that came before,
They walk with their heads held high
Burning the Earth to the ground.
Filling the skies with haze
Burning the Earth to the ground
Filling the seas with waste
O son of man, thou art made in the image of the gods,
With the hate in your eyes, and fire in your hand,
Go forth and multiply, hybrid of ape and swine.
O son of man, cover the earth in thy atrocities.
Tear out the goodness from thy eyes
And call it beauty divine
O son of man, thou art made in the image of the gods.
With the hate in your eyes, and fire in your hand,
And the hearts and the bodies of lazy, greedy, stupid animals,
You are nothing but a hybrid of ape and swine.
Vile scum of the earth, serpent hearted,
Hybrid of ape and swine,
Viral in nature they scurry and spread,
To cover the Earth in filth
Who turned on the giver of life
For the futile quest of dominion
What have I done?
I reached into the cesspit (betrayal of nature)
To give them the gifts of resilience and intellect
The final gift from my brethren (They poisoned the seed of life)
The greatest curse upon the face of mother Earth
I never meant for this to go so horribly wrong,
I never foresaw them to be the agents of destruction and death
The sons of perdition have risen to decimate
Do you hear her cries? Do you feel her slipping away?
“’Forethinker’
For the crime of treason,
For the destruction of nature,
How do you plead?”
I’m guilty.
It’s all my fault.

Mankind’s betrayal,
My pain eternal.
