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.

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 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.

Alive 04:17
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

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.

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”.

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.
