The Apostate 04:55
The Apostate Limbs torn off, A Hacking cough, The owner scoffs, It’s progress Belching smoke, A child chokes, The owner croaks, It’s progress Petrol burns, The gears turn, The workers learn, It’s progress God doesn’t live here anymore God isn’t wanted anymore In Trust we trust as deity In Trust we trust blindly Skies are black Lungs are black No turning back Feed the machine Meat on tines Shattered spines Necrotic minds The Apostate Oil Lamp, Conditions damp, Quarters cramped, It’s progress Miasma, Breath as you, Breed asthma, It’s progress A fetid sick, Mucus drips, To lungs that stick, It’s progress God doesn’t live here anymore God isn’t wanted anymore In Trust we trust as deity In Trust we trust blindly Skies are black Lungs are black No turning back Feed the machine Meat on tines Shattered spines Necrotic minds The Apostate

A Vast Frozen Hell Mentally deranged Body constrained Shackled and chained Thrown into a cage To quiet down your rage Displayed upon a stage The magistrate appears A jury of your peers A hissing crowd leers Witnesses constricted Quickly convicted Physically evicted A lunatic Left to die Alone with his mind Cast into a Wall-less cell A vast frozen hell Outside the wall Winter’s deathly pall Makes your heart stall Endless plains of white Nothing in sight You walk through the night Enter the cave Believing you are saved And death will be staved Mummified within By the drying winds Desiccation begins A lunatic Left to die Alone with his mind Cast into a Wall-less cell A vast frozen hell Exiled to a frozen hell ( A frozen hell) Ahh, ahh, ahh…oh,oh,oh ( A frozen hell)

Ecorche Redux A dead man and his horse A flayed corpse Of an unknown source No time for the urn Still so much to learn A corpse’s keep must be earned Fragonard Sculpting flesh Ecorche Living death Mummified, pliable flesh A madman Brings life to Hell’s vision of Grotesque beauty Creations anew Understood by few Displayed for all to view Exposed muscle and bone Embalmed through methods unknown Techniques were his alone Fragonard Sculpting flesh Ecorche Living death Mummified, pliable flesh A madman Brings life to Hell’s vision of Grotesque beauty Ground disturbed Disinterred Dissection Live again Fragonard Sculpting flesh Ecorche Living death Fragonard Sculpting flesh Ecorche Mummified, pliable flesh

God Crow 04:08
God Crow My guide is a vengeful god Merciless Pitiless Devours everything in his path Eater of life Eater of death Undead and alone Corpse without a home I left the grave Eyes of a crow What will they show The way to go This moonless night Please put up a fight You cannot escape There’s nothing holy about my god He simply is And always was A part of me and a part of you Our flesh consumed He lives on Undead and alone Corpse without a home I left the grave Eyes of a crow What will they show The way to go This moonless night Please put up a fight You cannot escape

My Dead Lover In the heart of winter In the heart of the dead Many fear to enter Yet still we must tread (pre-chorus) Deep in the woods where my lover lies Covered in frost this love never dies Buried in dirt our bodies entwined Eternally one this love is divine Told we were not to enter Warned we would not return Plagued by the ghosts of winter In dark and cold we burn (pre-chorus) (chorus) Oh my love, my love, oh my dead lover An ancient field of battle Now covered in trees Hear our death rattle On the twilight’s frigid breeze (pre-chorus) A spirit army surrounds us An overwhelming mass In snow and ice they drown us Our future now part of the past (pre-chorus) (chorus)

Nightmare 05:19
Nightmare Per me si va ne la citta dolente Per me si va ne l’etterno dolore Per me si va tra la perduta gente Giuztizia mosse il mio alto fattore Fecemi la divina podestate La somma sapienza e’l primo amore Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create Se non ettterne, e io etterno duro Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate Welcome to a world of blurry dreams Loud as you cry no one hears your screams Claws in your flesh hooks in your brain World goes black as you start to strain Torn apart from above and below You have voice, nowhere to go You are tortured in a world of dream Heart removed as you struggle to scream You must be dead you realize As Death holds your heart before your eyes Welcome to my nightmare Stranded in my sick lair Enter Morpheus the god of sleep He rules this world in the hour of eve Praying for the time when you’re awake You find his games hard to take Body bloated you start to swell Welcome eternity, welcome to hell You are tortured in a world of dream Heart removed as you struggle to scream You must be dead you realize As Death holds your heart before your eyes Welcome to my nightmare Stranded in my sick lair Welcome to my nightmare

S.P.I.T. 04:08
Sand devours you Evaporate, dehydrate Every little bit Sweat, piss, blood, spit Feel the weight press on your chest Shallow breath as you approach your death Air getting thin in the tomb Others around you in the darkened room Sleep forever with kings Surrounded by all of their earthly things Sand devours you Evaporate, dehydrate Every little bit Sweat, piss, blood, spit Walk in the land of the dead Eternal glory is all in your head Hunting with jackals and crows Slipping away, your delusion grows All thought leaves your mind Sealed in stone coffin of your own design Sand devours you Evaporate, dehydrate Every little bit Sweat, piss, blood, spit

Strigoi 03:54
Strigoi Grotesque coward, just a squealing pig Obese carcass, rotting with deceit Wide eyed, slowly devoured by flies Long since exiled, plotting revenge Godless creation, godless creation Strigoi execution Leeches searching for a way in Presence in the desert, dunes of black sand Bodies left burning, screams in your head Filling your lungs, the stench of the wasted Replay the memories, the deceit, the treachery Steady as you sever the skin from the face Grotesque coward, just a squealing pig Obese carcass, rotting with deceit Wide eyed, slowly devoured by flies Long since exiled, plotting revenge Godless creation, godless creation Strigoi execution The gallows swinging on the horizon Hang these traitors, removed from disguises Each one a sacrifice, an image of worship, The pleasure of watching them tortured, Perversion Vultures above circle the sky Nothing remains, all eaten alive Dead, dead, dead, dead… Dead, dead, dead, dead… In Death they will rise!

Revelation (Failed to See) Part I: Revelation Preacher man, war criminal It doesn’t really matter man we’re all gonna fall “Behold!” said the Lamb “Come and see!” He broke apart the seal and out spilled Death On a sickly green horse with a sunken face You can’t believe your eyes, what the fuck is this place? Try to run and hide, it matters really not ‘Cause when the time comes we’re all gonna drown in the Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Try as you like man you can’t change the station Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Bow down to the Beast He’s the ruler of this nation Bird-faced men and winged priests Six-headed dogs, a menagerie of beasts An army on the move from a fiery lake You can’t believe your eyes, not sure if you’re awake Antichrist and His keeper the Devil A thousand years of pain on this Earth He will reign The ground opens up and out climb the dead This shit’s for real man it ain’t in your head Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Try as you like man you can’t change the station Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Bow down to the Beast He’s the ruler of this nation Part II: Failed to See Six weeks without rain the world turned to dust Salt dried and crystalized Cracked glass walk on use blood to heal the wounds The sun gone so cold desert night Spirit snarling into my ear Turn around can’t see, He’s on my back Lay down eyes closed, beat on the ground Howling like mad strange distant sounds What’s that who’s there demon in the air Lie still, don’t move, push out Cover up, be still, wait for the light So cold and stiff turned into wood adrift Run for the sky, the big cat smiles Next meal you are, giggles to himself Touch your knees up to your chin as you run You dodge, you hide, but He won’t let up He licks up every thought Your mind gives you away Your time here mattered not You failed to See, and failed to learn Part III: Failed to Learn (instrumental) Part IV: Revelation (reprise) Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Try as you like man you can’t change the station Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Revelation! Bow down to the Beast He’s the ruler of this nation
