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

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
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
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

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
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
