Listen can you hear the sound of war Majestic triumphant The wolf is at your door Relentless Cementing our place Intent on repenting the time that we waste Your one fatal error Ignoring the corpse to be seen This margin for terror Farewell to a new dying breed Imparting a bloody red sea In league in three in trinity The wolf has taken his sheep Relentless in violent extreme A vulture surveying the truth from the dream Exploding from pressure The throne has been seized This margin for terror Exalt to a new deadly breed In league in three in trinity In time divide us Division plants the seed A long awaited hellish mutiny Familia satanas Familia satanas The earth lie over me The echoes of the stench preceding me In darkness hallow be In requiem we sing For when the hammer falls The tide will swing For all maternity....

Wasting away in your kingdom of spoils Your banner unfurled (Announcing the loyal) With venomous treachery released is the snake Constricting its coils and collapsing our fate This dream is dying Your cancer is spreading (He sees) Your world is lying At my feet I denounce your disease I dismiss your relation There’s no reason for 1 breath of life As you belittle creation Your death my only fight Through the trenches of glory I ride We ride! Across black rivers Submerged awaiting prey Evil from us deliver Ten talons deep The wound ingrained This tree of life You’ve turned to ash Leaves him decayed I stand Unmoved Unbroken Consumed Twenty years [2x] We stand Unmoved He’s broken Consumed Twenty years

Deathsomnia 04:38
Morning light penetrates This grizzly future, why did I wake? Blackest white, infiltrate These years asleep, just hibernate I refuse today So cold embalming Death hand disarming So I drop, to my knees There’s no use resisting Please make it stop There’s no use existing I accept, I regret this dissent make it stop! Deathsomnia, penetrates Sleep everlasting, time dissipates I refuse today So cold embalming These frigid screams There’s no use existing Please make it stop There’s no use resisting I accept, I regret this dissent make it stop! Optimist lies, feed on the weak Deceived And suffer, to release Dream in disguise, faith in retreat My own dying hand, I relinquish my grip There’s just loss to gain Enamored, welcome defeat Enamored, into defeat

Into the cave These walls breathe fire Give life and taketh away A new beast rising entire Unleash depraved Enlarge aspire At odds an even exchange Like ivy on graves reaching higher and higher On this day death Engraved No fool awakened from slumber Uncover the dirt and disdain On this day death Engraved Time insults the mind What’s left is left behind I’ve forgiven the future for presenting the past I’ve forgiven the past for presenting the future

Agree to disagree, resolute, calm at sea Prevailing winds will alter course Shift 3 degrees Relate to vindicate, camouflage, understate The monster rears his ugly head In spite of me Full speed ahead All systems overload Next stop dissent All systems overthrow New chapters different books All you took, erodes in days This tattered rope holds stronger fast Through life’s charades Agree to disagree, resolute, war at sea This monster rears his ugly head In spite of me Full speed ahead All systems overload Next stop dissent All systems overthrow Full speed ahead All systems will explode Bring out your dead All systems overload Release the Kraken Outstretched, with tentacle reach I plunge fathoms Sinking deep

Reverse direction, in all humility, I’ve become extinct And only now, with grave allegiance Do I suffer, indifferent, insistent, and prolific? Thrown forward in time It’s taken years to compile enough memories to die! And you thought you knew pain! Commence distinction In all things lie a will to fade Thrust backward in time, forsaken Any hope worth saving has passed me by And you thought you knew pain! What’s put to rest, Infest, Insane I will rot, but it's not Like I wasn’t already achieving decay Let’s end today Forever enrage I am molting, no longer set apart Flesh and wood, the dirt feels good Against my heart

The stronger the hate The longer the wonder Riding this wave of hatred and anger Peeling the skin off this cruel dark world And I’m tired of playing along And we’re tired of the same old song Stood up and discounted Fighting this urge The pain overtakes me Rolling the bones off this cruel dark world And I’m tired of playing along And we’re tired of the same old song Stood up and discounted The stronger the hate The longer the knife Instead of death you’ve given breath…to life And I’m tired of playing along And we’re tired of the same old song Stood up and discounted!

See the portal, gate to madness Locked forever in a veil of shame Deny extraction - Thirst for disgrace Watch his break - The emperor's killed Light of the day - Shadows from beyond Scaffold of steel - The throne has gone Dethroned emperor The foot of the stairs, dimension in might The king sits, his eyes are glass Growing of the small - The laughter's fall Can you deny - Remaining cries? Descent of the lords - Into the trap Existence and hate - Unseen gate Dethroned emperor
