Shadows Never Cast
06:15
|

A benediction of lifeless masters
Venerate the kings
Swapping hearts for knives
The bells of final rites soon to ring
The cosmic bridge complete
The limits of the flesh
The chanting verse repeats
Summoning all death
Midnight star, the flashing skies
Lords and lepers
Duality, mortality
The spectrum of plight
Remaining dreams at night
Immolation the final sight
Psalms of science, psalms of death
Upon these graves we lay our heads
Shadows never cast against the sun
As they die
Remains of ash made eternal
By the opening of eyes
Rise from the fires, walk the ruined lands
The haunting dreams of death
In desperation
Final aftermath
The bloodied paths of annihilation
The feast lies dead when the final night is slept
Serpents manifest below the crushing ice
Reflected in the layers moments before the light
Under thickened frost the stairway does descend
The killing of the captured, eternally condemned
Upon these graves
We lay our heads
Shadows never cast

The Undead
05:07
|
|||
Eternal flames light burning nights
Rites performed to cleanse marrow from bone
The eons fuse their blood
To thaw the undead
Lowered into grave, rotting and decayed
Masters of torment upon their rusted cores
Paralyzed they bleed feeding the machine
Gasping rhythms of their waking curse
Against perspectives still alight
A corpse evolved of steel and brass
Corrosive metals beneath the flesh
We thaw the undead
Lowered into grave, rotting and decayed
Masters of torment upon their rusted cores
Paralyzed they bleed feeding the machine
Gasping rhythms of their waking curse
A symbol of progress
Annotations to shadows
Of twisted selves
Suspend belief in breath
Suspend belief in death
The open call to our masters
Nothingness paints vantablack abyss
The infinite reaches of cosmic structures
Execute final judgements upon decaying graves
Portend the vessel, the dead as they rise
To horizons higher than hell’s fiery skies
The weight of molten oceans, ichor ebbs with tides
The polished skulls of lepers abetting cryonic guides

Hallowed sounds from hell
The pain of remorse
From the throats of the damned
In their agony exalt
Baying of the midnight wolves
Twilight shining down
Demons in their infinite
Damnation
As toxins leech into
Chambers built above the
Laboratory of limbs
Lifeless or writhing
A black star shines forever
Night down upon
An inescapable horror
The vortex of earth and death
The disarray and tyranny
From disorder to chaos
We are rotting from within
Underground, under skin
Of ruined worlds and solar winds
Invocate eternal rites
Cutting eyelids, revealing sights
As we enter the blackest nights

Final Breaths
05:35
|
|||
The last of human kind awash the bloodied shores
Layers of polished gears, cybernetic forms
Above atmospheres rest the immortals
With skyward reach we implore
Moments of indirect time, circular forces accelerate
Wells of darkness in warring lands
Breath in the ice, exhausting all life
With skyward reach we implore
Ever-desperate remaining breath
Lightning strikes across reflective skies
Blinding all who see
In those final breaths
You said “I’m now ready for death
Leave me here, stay where you are
I’m traveling back to the blackest star
Once I’ve died go onward now and live your life
Forget about me, what all I’ve done
I tried my best but the darkness won”
Reflective skies blinding all who see

Cryogenesis
05:59
|

Still and glacial
The night will return
Hidden by fires, engulfed in smoke
The innocent supply the organs
With hides of history
Reaching pathways beneath
The still of nothingness
When wrapped in shadows of cold concrete
Alone inside the mind
Captive to the machine and left to die
Still and glacial
The night will return
Hidden by fires, engulfed in smoke
The innocent supply the organs
With hides of history
Reach the pathways beneath
Inner doctrine, outer divination
The edicts of erosion
The heat of progress in the timeless engines
That burn in unison
Doomed and dominated
Thrashed and beaten
The bodies of the tortured
Doomed and dominated
Thrashed and beaten
The bodies of the martyrs
Doomed and dominated
Thrashed and beaten
The bodies of the damned

Rise
03:41
|
|||
Shattered stars across the skies
Planets align
Infinite woe binds
Threads of time
Remove our skins of mortal’s men
Rise above and die inside
Lie, suspend
Entombed, descend
To rise again
Awake, ascend
Blood red rivers falling
An endless pit that’s calling
Our bodies to recline
Awaking entities that shone eons ago
Forbidden science, forbidden tomes
Sacred knowledge now restored
Lie, suspend
Entombed, descend
To rise again
Awake, ascend
Shattered stars, threads of time
Rise above and die, die inside

Leviathans Encased
05:53
|
|||
Mortals swept away and left to die
Inside the pyres of humanity
Technology—the engines of immortals
With limb and lung, sage and demon
In my tomb of grief, silver gold
The path towards howling wailing shrieks
A vessel to capture icy breath
Filter and freeze in atomic airs
The solitude, the glacial frost
Penetrates the flesh
Eternal shrouds, the frozen flame
Fusions of the profane
Sown shut, tightly wound
The coffin navigates
The burnt out stars
Leviathans encased
Suspend atop the thrones of heaven
The deathless and the dead
In their frozen sleep the coffin now descends
Captive within the blinding light
The cyclical gods, virtues that rot us to waste
Within/without transcends our symmetry
Vacuity fills the fiery entity
Scattered amongst robotic remains
Flicker against moons
Memories of immortals
Of hearts that once pumped blood
Sown shut, tightly wound
The coffin navigates
The burnt out stars
