Sanguine Sunrise

Our veins are burning
Begin the rite
Your blood shall wash away the night
We seek in flesh
a pathway to excess
War against darkness rages on
The time for your tribute has come
Experience mortality
Nourish the fifth sun
Divine energy
leave this body, ascend into the skies
Solar deity
fight for another sanguine sunrise
Feel the blade penetrate
We can destroy what the gods create
Fatal power
begging for abuse
Vibrant convulsions, agony
Drift into continuity
Negate all boundaries
only in death one is truly free
Your beating heart held out towards the sky
ripped from your chest in pursuit of light
The last sight to meet your eye
a grotesque epitome of life
Spiritual diffusion shatters the illusion of diversity
We need a taste of transgression
Sacrifice
Sway in trance to the gospel of a thousand cries
Freedom is born from aggression
Sacrifice
Souls float high on crimson tides
Cruel ecstasy
Dismay sublimed by unity
Violent expansion
of the mind
Warm blood, fresh remains
feed the divine and the profane
Elated by a touch of death
overcome self-consciousness

The Might of the Many
04:52

We flow directed by obsession
Grow - united in depression
Crush malformed civilizations
Bury illusions of gods and nations
One made from many, mentally akin
A surging wave of flesh
helps the earth shed its skin
Unified we lay waste to the land
a force of nature grinding buildings to sand
Human hulls smash against the wall
Bones break, stones crumble
See the mighty tower fall
The bell’s last threnodic chime
cuts through the moaning
of those we leave behind
Rotten ideas refuse to rot
we stomp their breeding ground
to dust and bloody mud
We are doom incarnate
one thousand heads - one will
The dawn of a new age
The ego we killed

Faceless
06:03
|

Suffocating in a
sacred stranglehold
Black cloth conceals me
separates me from your world
When I was young I felt the air caress my skin
Pleasure and freedom are now sins
Where god rules
men get to lead
My sole purpose is to breed
Hidden away, locked up
Bereft of my identity
You save your souls by denying me a worthy life
In fear of your god, afraid of lust
you don't dare to look at us
A menace for any man
to you I am a tool of the devil
Behind the veil
Bruises and scars in the face of the faceless
Behind the black veil
Human rights disappear
Demonized
My loins harbour a black hole
feeding on male souls
You beat me till I faint
Violence considered self control
Where men are slaves to urges
like wild beasts
liberty for women corrupts morality
Morals induce perversion
Imbalance overturns your mind
A pious life famishes the animal within
feeding its will
until it fits through the bars
The beast uncaged
knows only brutish rage
burdens me with sin
sealing my eternal fate
At the climax of your pleasure and my pain
I'm tainted, I'm damned
You condemn me to death
Buried to the chest
I can hardly breathe my last breath
At the end of this woeful path
does hell impend? Will I find rest?
A stone hits my temple
blood runs down my face
Hearing their chatter and laughter
I long for peace in death's embrace
