In hindsight I lost control I didn't give enough And it killed my soul I've finally conquered the ninth degree of hell And overcome my fear in finding solace This inhumanity This barbaric society Fuck absolution There is no dying heart solution Writhing in anguish I recoil Like a snake in the midst of its prey I see death The predator of pestilence And I begged him to take me away Writhing in anguish I recoil Like a snake in the midst of its prey I see death The predator of pestilence And I begged him to take me away Take me away.

Sorrow Incarnate 05:45
lyrics
buy track
I hold this exorcism to rid my body of this Unwelcome haze of deception and spite Signals of discord becoming clear as day For it is bleak as night, I've seen the light fade to abysmal gray from comforting white Manic destruction will quickly morph to isolation The pressure seeps as the body rejects the mind Violent imagery of death's immortal touch A sickness not above its cure, nor below its design Misery has taken hold of me One by one the pieces fall into insanity I hear the dirge, a voice like a symphony Of suffering, unraveling, is this enough transparency? Muted cries turn to visible signs of anguish The thin veil dissolves into nothingness I hold this exorcism to rid my body and mind Of this illusion of hopelessness Sorrow saved me By manifesting into sound But when the world went silent And the barriers came crashing down Sorrow saved me Or so I thought A fuel to the fire of sadness Set me ablaze and sent me into madness The ultimate hypocrisy is happiness is suffering Toiling in a sanctum of silent screams Hoping for epiphanies through wasted time The patterns not accepted but expected each night This void is my home, this sickness Dare to speak out and be judged This is not a cycle of going through the motions Welcome to confession through raw emotion Muted cries turn to improvement by introspection The thin veil no longer regenerates I rid my body and mind of this illusion But this specter never dies, there's no conclusion Sorrow saved me By manifesting into sound But when the world went silent And the barriers came crashing down Sorrow saved me Or so I thought A fuel to the fire of sadness Set me ablaze and sent me into madness All hope is gone No rest at night, no peace at dawn In total silence you can hear the voice of the spawn I am the ghost that whispers in your ear Laughing at your vespers of desperation I fear no man, no words, no threats, no cross I am the black that reigns down when the will to live is lost May we all find peace in the realms that await us.

Grimrose (Unbloom) 03:51
lyrics

I've searched for the beauty in the pain of life Trapped in the never-ending throes A macrocosm of disappointment Failure, sonder, and the tensity that grows An uplift met with decay A safehaven ablaze A future lies in ruin Perpetual undoing It never ends I've had enough This is more than I can take And wandering to no avail This life is more than an undeserving fate Can we do more than hope we prevail? An unforgiving world A tomb of trees and sea Suffused with malcontents Bereft of any decency I reject this life I reject this life Renounce my roots Recoil into the soil I fucking unbloom I've had enough This is more than I can take And wandering to no avail This life is more than an undeserving fate Can we do more than hope we prevail?

Virus of Sentience 03:47
lyrics

Bled dry, the monuments of man crumble down Is it earth in disgust or a god with a bloodlust? Watching the failed population drown In it's own pollution, what a fitting conclusion My eyes are so sick of watching history repeat itself My eyes are so sick of watching history repeat itself Initiate eradication Humanity under total control Nothing but a sentient virus Disguised in skin and bone Manmade rapture Oxygen contaminated Oceans fade from sight Disease overwhelms us A feast for the flies The skies shift to a crimson dusk And release smoldering rain Not a single soul is saved The time has come for evil to reign Welcome the unholy beast A fury of fire to unleash A new era of brutality A new era of brutality The predators are now the prey.

The Sin of Spite 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Privileged and pious Another hypocrite swelling with affiance Handing out judgement like charity A fool's act of defiance Relish in restitution The gold scapegoat for a revolution Clouded by clarity Why blame yourself when you can blame a deity? It's like a broken record The heavens weep at the great repeat A collapse of morality leads to the Greed of man, and you bow at the false idol's feet Not a rejection of a higher power Repudiation of the human kings There must be a reward for a life of good There must be an answer for everything It's like a broken record The heavens weep at the great repeat A collapse of morality leads to the Greed of man, and you bow to the feet What a disgrace this is A mockery of what the angel built No signs of deep remorse No indication of guilt I'm turning my back on this heresy Only memories remain of such a sacred place I shall exist to reflect the buried truth The sin of spite is my saving grace.

Cold Black 04:43
lyrics

Ravenous and relentless An amalgamation of tireless gloom Centric, psychosadistic A presence of anguish and doom It's all waste It's all waste Deceased or damned Confined by the mirage of choice A path so often followed Choosing morality A life lived in fear A thousand days of decay A thousand words of repulsion An infestation of yesteryear Encased in silence Unforced defiance Bury me as I lived In a cold black Drowning in regret Fright of a reset Bury me as I lived In a cold black An alternate time So free of chains Beckons to me The ending of flames Stalking the gates Relegates me A hundred days of discord A hundred thoughts of delusion And squandered impunity It's all a waste now Deceased or damned And I'll be damned if I'm deceased Before I know what I've missed As I'm confined by the mirage of choice I can rejoice in my suffering The great recidivist Encased in silence Unforced defiance Bury me as I lived In a cold black Drowning in regret Fright of a reset Bury me as I lived In a cold black In a cold black The mirage of choice I chose my own disaster The mirage of choice I chose my own disaster.

Harm Legion 02:53
lyrics

Eyes wide open glaring back at the one in total control Too late to make amends and too fucked for mercy to save your end Evisceration imminent, a final testament Devastation evident, let the pain consume I only say this out of vengeance and the greatest hate How great it feels to be the one that decides your fate The nobody evolved into the upper hand Oh how the mighty fall unto the weakest man (Do you remember me, recall my face? Or am I just another memory you tried to erase?) It never left my mind, the day of death and total loss An irreversible fate The stranger is the devil in the house of god The stranger is the devil in the house of god The rage is red like the blood you've spilled Blood you've spilled I'll dig the malice out of you Exhume or be consumed Red The rage is red Consuming every twisted thought inside my head Red The rage is red Consuming every twisted thought inside my head Dig out the malice in me Exhume or be consumed.

Death Sentence 04:45
lyrics
buy track
I'll bow To the future For it remains the only fate untold Once more rehashing the past Revolving around the times of old History will repeat itself on its own No need to relish in anguish already set in stone Why do you question it all? Halting the flow Of life, of evolution Killing your own solution Why do you expect the fall? Complacent patterns In life, of dissolution Afraid of your conclusion Revel in your victim's mentality Out of your hands, out of your control To blame fate is to surrender Inside your head, inside of your soul Revel in your victim's mentality Out of your hands, out of your control To blame fate is to surrender Inside your head, inside of your soul All we are is all we've known All we are is all we've known Depreciating, voluntary slaughter Devastating, only ancient offers A mind of many trains of thought Memories dead and forgotten Abandoned This is repetition Repetition is insanity Repetition is failure Repetition is hopeless Repetition is insanity Repetition is failure Repetition is hopeless Repetition is insanity Repetition is failure Repetition is hopeless This is a death sentence.

lyrics

Break me down and let me drown Send me to the deepest sea I've gazed into the end without fear Death is but a blissful sleep Wake me just as I take slumber Save me right as I'm set free Savior, enemy, shapeshifter Break me down and drown with me "It's too late" It says in its warm and soothing voice "Erase what you can and cut your loss" It beckons "There's no use, not worth the cost" And I listen foolishly When the sun never rises, do you despise the dark? Do you suffocate, when you're feeling torn apart? Only black water rises, only ash rains down If the sun never rises again, you'll never hear a sound I can't tell who's in control (Speaking in silence / Vessel of violence) I can't tell who's in control (Break me down / Break me down) Relentless and regenerated Back and forth with the force of the tide Revisiting a past of discarded fate Forever at war with the monster inside With the monster inside me If the sun never rises, bury me in the dark Let the blackness consume me, we were never apart If the black water rises, and the ash rains down Let the mud take me, but don't let it take the sound Don't let it take the sound.

VVOLVES 05:28

Ravening wolves Snarling at your doorstep Menacing grins and a grim intent Change your life with a single vote Remain obsolete and abandon hope Wolves snarling at your doorstep Menacing grins and a grim intent Change your life with a single vote Remain obsolete and abandon hope Do you speak the language of hurt? Their reign only makes it worse They live to watch you squirm Don't try to run with the wolves if you belong in the dirt with the worms Thriving on chaos and riots in the streets We scatter like rats while they watch from ivory peaks Destined for failure and desolation We bow to the tyrants free of immolation Architects of malice and crime We follow the shepherd, blind leading blind Dwelling in poverty, what a fucked society Rebirth in anarchy We've become submissive, obedient sheep Mouths sewn shut as we oil the machines Behold corruption in liberty Hear the silence echo as freedom rings Behold corruption Prod the cattle and prey on their fears Their screams are voiceless falling on deaf ears Send in the wolves and watch them fucking cower We're all ripped to shreds by an abuse of power We've become submissive, obedient sheep Mouths sewn shut as we oil the machines Behold corruption in liberty Hear the silence echo as freedom rings Guard your bones or pay to heal Our weakness is the contentment we feel Earn your wage so they have something to steal We were bred to serve, bred to kneel Behold corruption Behold corruption.

The Slow Descent Into Absolute Madness 10:10
lyrics

Wormholes and wastelands The fall of man The degradation of a broken society Mass murder A wolf in the herd Or that nobody gets what they fucking deserve A blind eye judging what it sees A lost soul implodes and wilts like its dreams No cathartic catastrophe, metanoia Never escaping the grave that's been dug by the hands of fate Feed my dreams with delusion, a damning conclusion There's nothing inside a mind destroyed by illusions of solace and peace A phantom forever Molded to only exist within dreams A beautiful mind collapsed by reality A phantom forever Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain It never stops and it's built to grow If only into an escape Let it in and it's over Let it in and it's over now Desolate epiphany at the surface To grasp the straws and hold tight the flame Deliver me unto the newest void Let it out and leave me with pain Let it in and it's done Let it out, it's only begun The only relief comes with the moon Enter the cycle of gloom Scorn is suspended while fortune fades away Following darkness into the deepest black All hands are severed as they claw for me Please save yourself I tried to warn you I tried to warn you If this is what you wish, descend into madness with me A phantom forever Molded to only exist within dreams A beautiful mind collapsed by reality A phantom forever Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain It never stops and it's built to grow And I've finally been given an escape A phantom forever Molded to only exist within dreams A beautiful mind collapsed by reality A phantom forever Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain It never stops and it's built to grow And I've finally been given an escape With hindsight, I take control I gave it all I had, my heart my blood, my soul.
