Ripping Through Flesh

At the point most north
There’s a mystifying cave
Twelve warriors by my side
Pledged to fight to the grave
Bound by the endless quest
The spoils of resource raids
Mercenary method of survival
So twisted so depraved
Deranged
Survival
Depraved
Devine execution
Enraged
Fight hard with your life
Take a glimpse at prosperity
Step into the fray
Insane
We profit from pain
Monstrous premonition
On a cold and bloody mission
Undone
Once traumatized by my method of survival
I’m desensitized
Volatile environment
Cave massive yet confined
Ethereal surroundings making perfect for a bloody domination
Kill what’s inside
Fight for your pride
Soon we’ll be ripping through flesh
Feel the rush
Savor the death
Whip to the skull
Axe to the neck*
Only one commands the rest
Rapidly identified
Cut off his arms
Cut off his head
One by one frantically hacked
Falling victim to my axe
Pompous dreams of wealthy lives
Wealth is misery in disguise
Heinous acts of savagery
Only means to survive
Take what’s yours
Escape this hell
A violent wage
Into the caves
Violence misery
Your sacrifice has set us free
Violence misery

Captivity
03:44
|

Cold rolled steel bound to this odious cage
Forced to breathe in this fetor of decay
Optimism lost determination’s end
Chains bloodied burrowing into my skin
Losing grasp of my mind
Lost in thought
I’m terrorized
Senses overwhelmed with the horror
Impending death I fantasized
Suffering soldier sings suicide
Only one escape identified
Standing on the edge of psychological defeat
Cold rolled steel bound to this odious cage
Forced to breathe in this fetor of decay
Piteous body left emaciated
Last ounce of strength
End this life
Soul eroded
Consequence of a man confined
Cold
Captive
Come to terms with suicide
Cold
Pathetic

Bloodlust Contamination
04:03
|
|||
|
Structural collapse
Apocalyptic aftermath
A city trapped in Hell
Plagued by the state of war
Let the Lords indulge
Cast aside the meek
Wealth makes a mockery of humanity
There’s a crisis at hand
The fruits of war, a deception
Impoverished land
Insanity
Trading blood for profit
Insanity
Human disregard
The masses dying off
Spreading the disease
The priest begs the witch
Absolute calamity
Temperature is rising
This just can’t be real
There’s no sense in crying
The only cure is termination
Pulse is rising
I’m close to the edge
Tremors erupting
Bloodlust contamination
Eyes knocked back into my head
It won’t stop until it's stained in blood
This land is stained in blood
Under my command
The fruits of war
Deception
Victory skews
Perception
Pure lust for the taste of blood
This sickness starts at birth
Never had an answer
Never known why
I’ve had to quench this thirst
Morally inept
Socially declined
Seclusion becomes my hearse
Pure lust for the taste of blood
This sickness ends in death
Bloodlust Contamination
Forced death to end suffering

Sinner's Torch

Spineless morons
Life fulfilled
Blinded by complacency
Portrait of stability entirely falsified
Coaxed by mediocrity
Deluded delight
Entirely oblivious
Disorder in plain sight
Painfully erase the herd of cowards
Holy absolution
Immolation
Sanctify the masses
Spark the flames of purity
Absolution through immolation
Satisfy god end suffering
Your act of contrition
End sin entirely
Mass immolation
Soaring flames of purity
Carry out the will of god
Sinners swallowed by the flames
Enslaved by god
The Herd of cowards
Blind sheep following his voice
Feeble mind
Feeble souls deceived

Corroded from Within
04:08
|
|||
|
Imperial state corroded from within
Impostor in the ranks
Lurking threat unidentified
Division of authority
Retaliation obsolete
Masked behind the political elite
Lost control, nation in peril
Infiltrated
Operations ceased, snuff out the enemy
Despotic dissolution, a murder justified
Homicidal rage, driving me insane
Despotic dissolution, a murder justified
Years of suppression, years of deceit
Fantasize the morbidity
Carry out the given order
Doomed to a violent execution
Body restrained
Brought into this world of pain
Tormented for hours
Endure the misery
Skull throbbing from relentless head trauma
Body overwhelmed by physical abuse
Brought into this world of fucking pain
Lifeless soul
Beg for death til the end

Peeled from Reality
03:36
|

Pain has ruled your mind
Your thoughts, you’re lost, confined
The threads of sanity unwound
Ripped from the seams of your brain
Body and soul - Separated
Self-induced pain rules your mind
Fingers dug beneath your skin
A twisted pleasure you will find
Living in hell running out of time
Find the cure for your sick mind
Flesh peeled back, bones revealed
Risk of infection, you’ll never heal
Body suffering from corrosion
Skin and bone on the wane
Overcome by your compulsion
Self-inflicted withering away
The blood has started pouring
The satisfaction of enduring
Your body disintegrating
Skin peeled away, you’re wearing thin
Hellish reality a paradox
Escape the chaos
Escape your thoughts
Use the pain to cope
Fall to ashes
Reap what you sow
Disintegrating, pain ruled your mind
Disintegrating, you’re terrified

World Decay
03:17
|

|
I can’t be stopped
Enhanced sensation
I feel a rush
Wreak havoc on my mind
Synthetic solution
Absolute apathy
Disastrous Dissolution
Entirely Erased
Set me free I’ve got the itch
Searching for a will to live
Never mind the mind recess
Voluntary ignorance
I’ve let my world decay
My sanity unkempt
Set me free I’ve got the itch
Searching for my will to live
Blinded by my own desires
In the end I lost the power
Futile attempt at life
Laid to an early grave
Addicted to the power
I ended up a slave
Tried to cope with this cerebral disease
Soon I’ll be laid to rest
I’m finally freed

Wretched Illusions
03:28
|
|||
|
Murderous monstrosity
Cataclysmic creation
Unholy upheaval
Immoral incantation
Born to devour the Earth
Manifestation of evil
Laid dormant for eons
Inciting delirium
Voices surging through my head
Dreaded consequence
Chaos filled mind
Conscience confined
Overwhelming power
Lasting for hours
I’m lost in hate
Against the grain
In your blood I’m sanctified
Intentions intensified
I close my eyes
Death by my side
Merchant of deception and creator of life
Sacrifice willing to die
Wretched illusions
A product of Hell
Wretched illusions
Merchant of death
Intoxicating homicide
Tracking you down
Hunting with pride
Intoxicating homicide
In your blood I’m sanctified

Dawn of Time
04:12
|
|||
|
Authoritative niche
Shrouded in secrecy
Omnipotent reign
Mutilation of democracy
Orchestrators of violence
Sworn to silence
Manipulate the world
Take hold of society
Apolitical sect
Existing in obscurity
Destiny thwarted by celestial beings
Effortless control of this moronic regime
Minimal resistance from our softened minds
Under control since the dawn of time
Domination
We have no will
No cognizant mind
Senseless existence
A blood sacrifice
Destiny’s changed
The time is nigh
Our bodies offered
Will it suffice
We have no will
No cognizant mind
Our leaders are puppets
For those up high
Men with no motive
They came from the sky
To toy with humans
To watch us die
Destiny thwarted by celestial beings
Effortless control of this moronic regime
Minimal resistance from our softened minds
Under control since the dawn of time

Consumed
04:29

Consumed
True intentions exposed
Heinous betrayal
A new victim tortured to delirium
A personal hell I’ve devised
Desecration of humanity
Disobedience met with brutality
Victim stripped naked
Strapped to the boats
Appendages protruding
Force milk and boney
Pour it in your eyes
Pour it in your throat
The insects take notice
Your flesh exposed
Clinging to life
You’re almost there
Death by infection
Left with a cold
Consumed
Hour by hour the insects carve away
Your body slowly consumed
Sail into your fate
Serpent of sedition
Greed
Motivation
Killed by your desire
Food for the parasites
