1. Wolf's Head
It's an accustomed response for man to fear the wolf's call
For the wolf has hunted man for generations
We must revive this fear and strike it in their hearts
For benevolence means the collapse of reason
The art of deception is their most defining trait
Do not treat them as equals as they are the ones who
decide our fate
Man is all destructive, callous and based on greed
We take the nature of the wolf, show them our strength
Show them our teeth
I burn this mark into your chest
A symbol we forever fight in grotesque
When they cower they will scream for truce
Descend on them the wrath of the merciless wolf
It took the failure of man to start this brotherhood of
wolves
And we've been bound by blood and fur to defend the
defenceless
They are the ever expanding plains, we leave no stone
unturned
This is our infinite task, to see mans cruelty burned
The ones who wear the Wolf's Head
The ones who bear the wolf's mask
The ones who howl in wolf song
Are the new hunters of man
When they cower they will scream for truce
Descend on them the wrath of the merciless wolf
2. The Midas Throat
The curse of the Midas Throat
The touch of your hand can stop the beating of hearts and
the voice of man
You will act as death until the day you become death
yourself
Wielding the power of a god as you r lust for gold numbers
your days
Your wish has been granted
But a double edged sword that evaded your beloved
Is the curse of the Midas Throat
In madness and fear you embrace your beloved
And as she stands lifeless you curse the gods
But this is what you asked for
The golden touch
You wouldn't heed the warning of what it may cost
In your paranoia
They conspire against you
They'll take your crown and leave your bones
Unmarked in the ground
Neck deep in riches
Neck deep in distress
The no mans land between body and mind
The pleasure of wealth but a body on borrowed time
Three days without water, a fate no man can survive
There's no way of escape and nowhere to hide
You leave a path in your wake like no other
Your plight, this curse, your desire
To gorge on poisonous metal
Immolation by fire
Cheat the gods with suicide
It's immorlation by fire
Cheat the gods with suicide
'I am still Emperor'
Neck deep in riches
Neck deep in distress
The no mans land between body and mind
The pleasure of wealth but a body on borrowed time
The no mans land between life and death
As the only thing which passes through your throat will
be your last breath
In death, wealth is irrelevant, beg for deliverance from
starvation
DIONYSUS
Hear this prayer
In death I live through centuries in all I have created
DIONYSUS
Hear this prayer
Statues of loved ones withstand the test of time
What cannot feed will always cease to exist
A fundamental order that has no exception
Your insatiable grandeur
Took for granted lucid means to survive
Sound the horn
Our monarch is dead
For he now lies with a severed throath
3. Glacial Blood
Minds adrift, I've gone astray
Blood coursing like shifting plates
Blackened limbs grow rapidly inutile
I walk a buried path into the fray
Lord of the frost lands, drifter of the grey
I walk a buried path into the fray
Beyond contact, beyond salvation
Alone in an unreachable destination
Nothing to offer warmth or direction
Malevolent surroundings
Hostile freezing suffocation
As I go further into this artic void
Hypothermia
Perished skin
Through ice destroyed
Of life this wilderness is devoid
Minds adrift, I've gone astray
Blood coursing like shifting plates
Blackened limbs grow rapidly inutile
I walk a buried path into the fray
Beyond contact, beyond salvation
I wander alone with no precise direction
No-one to console my lamentation
It surrounds me
Adverse glacial abomination
Ice starts to preserve my body
Immobile I become
Loneliness acts as a catalyst to aberration
And as the ability to move evades me
My limbs become alike roots in the earth
Like roots in the earth
A burial fit for no man or beast
This body shall nurture not the soils
As the transformation completes
Fragmented in appearance
Parts break away from me
Body tightened
Giving up the fight
Drift into the final sleep
Exhausting astringent winds force my body into paralysis
My track are covered
No-one will know where I rest
Winters embrace
Adrift
The ice is all I know
Astray
As I become the snow
4. Where Wasps Now Nest
I the indomitable titan roam and devastate the lands
I feel nothing, for I am hollow
Goliath, Behemoth, Colossus
Titan, Monster, Gargantuan
A cascade of depth within my chest
The hive lives and breathes
Without the shackles of pain or remorse
And wasp venom coursing inside me
I the indomitable titan roam and devastate the lands
Winter personified, heartless vessel
Goliath, Behemoth, Colossus
Tyrant, Miscreant, Adversary
To slay this beast would make us beasts ourselves
Nothing can stand in his way
100 men with ropes and chains
To bring him to his knees
To be banished to the keep
Rid of the light of day
Thunderous bellows and the struggle to keep him trapped
Fortune failing man in a co-ordinated attack
Countless lives taken away, in stone to be reborn
News of the failure drowned in voices now mourn
The legends tell this ageless Belial
Hid his hearth where no man could travel
Conflict in futile, leverage the only victory
A buried beating muscle, plunged into obscurity
An unfathomable place, a lifetime away
At a window a mother mourns her last begotten son
This pursuit will claim his life
By the hand of evil
Or gainless searching
To unearth subterranean essence
Seasons shift and aeons pass in time
Driven by misery since he began
He was once a child but now stands a broken aged man
Drawing near, but not alone, through the maze, the human
forest of stone
The heart beathing in his hand is resounding
Since its upheaval from the soil, an unmistakable
pounding
Face to face with the detested majesty
A supernatural oath scratched across the sky
To trade the lives of many, for the heart of one
Ill-fated consequence if the deal is undone
A charm for a chest, a malicious swarming nest
Now released, and free to go, their tears salt the soils and
nothing can grow
The winds and the lands reek of animosity, the tides have
now changed
The merciless one now begs for mercy
The heart of the adversary is crushed by the hatred of man
The oath unfulfilled, revenge is poison that blacks their
hands
The giant falls tearing at his chest, to release the wasps he
one possessed
A charm for a chest, a malicious swarming nest
Mans revenge claimed both their lives and in the end
Pyres are raised and both lives mourned together
5. Submergence
[Instrumental]
6. Furnace
Break away from humanity, step out the marching line
Corruption beyond belief, no sanctity will you find
You're afraid, scared of chance, stay a slave
Will you break yourself free?
Realize to survive what's contrived
Realize, use your mind, cut the ties
Cut loose the dead weight
Fuel the Furnace, the engines of negativity
The gears of oppression cloud the rivers in naivety
Fuel the Furnace, the belief in false deities
The need for depression, cloud the mind in obscurity
Break away from humanity, step out the marching line
Callousness beyond reason, no holiness will you find
You're afraid, scared of chance, stay a slave
Will you break yourself free?
You're alive, can you find a reason why?
Realize, use your mind, cut the ties
Cut loose the dead weight
Fuel the Furnace, the engines of negativity
The gears of oppression cloud the rivers in naivety
Fuel the Furnace, the belief in false deities
The need for depression, cloud the mind in obscurity
'Ignorance, our mother tongue'
Acceptance of what's to come
Nothing that will ever exist will surpass the laws of nature
Humanity in its arrogance holds itself above these laws
So far as believing the earth was created for the purpose
of their existence
The fundaments of the universe are that of entropy and
decay
All must go from a state of order to disorder
So far as believing the earth was created for the purpose
of their existence
This cancer is an agnorant and violent subspecies of ape
With tendencies towards superstition and ritual
These animals are content to blindly follow
Begging the question, how long can this go on?
For these is definitive reason to believe
Man will never reach his full potential
In his tenure on this earth
Before destroying himself
7. Those Who Fed Of Light
Those who have chosen to feed of light
Deprived by the one who banished sight
Those who choose to devour purity
Expelled to the lands of emptiness
All your memories & bountiful wisdom have been
stricken from you
You have become less than a man
Your tools, your possession, stripped from your hands
Starved and left detached, sent to wonder the abyss
The portrayers of an evil incarnate
For Those Who Fed of Light
You must concede to margins where there is no life
For those who commit to anguish
You will have no place to rest your bones
For Those Who Fed of Light
Embrace you will not anything of purity or the divine
Forever in the congress of night, for you serve the enemy
of light
You serve the enemy of light with endless shame
Those who have chosen to feed of light
Deprived by the one who banished sight
Those who choose to devour purity
Expelled to the lands of emptiness
All your memories & bountiful wisdom have been
stricken from you
You have become less than a man
Your tools, your possession, stripped from your hands
Reside in darkness
For you chose to lose the way
Dwell now in the abyss
As you tried to steal the day
Undead, lifeless, inhuman, soulless and decayed
And hunted
You left the earth to tremor for aeons
The caress of light shall serve as you penance
And to it, you are bound
8. A Crawling Ingression
Prowers of a hunter that claims the silhouette of a child
Eating into the trees as one with the forest breeze
The hairless back of a beast or two
Demented limbs and fingers ingrown, allied, entwisted
At bones with the wolves
Raised as their own on truths that of false
Harboured by a translucent brotherhood
And immersed in a carnality to hunt and devour
I shall pin back your eyelids
I shall peel the light from your days
Spread it over your skin and slowly remove the grey
Face the winds and discover the scent of men
Shed your lust to hunt, shed your lust to devour
SHED YOUR APOCRYPHAL SKIN
You mock us as weak
You tremble in our penance
You see us as grotesque
Yet you plea for our penance
Sheltered under your wing, immune from interaction
And exposed to nothing, merely specimens of curiosity
Words of rehabilitation and relief reamian as words
Empty oath worth all but dust
Mans conviction to greed overbearing the
remnants of truth
Empty oath worth all but dust
Face the winds and discover the putridity of man
Shed your lust to hunt, shed your lust to empower
SHED YOUR APOCRYPHAL SKIN
You try to feed us gruel, you cage us apart insulted and
demoralised
You have exhausted our hearts
Branded feral humans but we are not part of your
animosity governed race
And we will not abide within your restrains
We run as hunters
Your empty oath worth nothing but dust
9. Penthos: Lament
Without me you not pleasure
Without me you not bliss
Without me the mind would unravel
To a permanent state of remiss
Neither above not below
Neither blessed nor unhallowed
I dwell in all that's hollow
This world will carry my throne
A sovereignty of branch and bone
I dwell in all that's hollow
The weight of an unliftable stone
Intractable power, I can't be overthrown
I dwell in all that's hollow
I remain misery and sorrow
I Lament the wounds that fortune deals
I remain in all that's unhealed
For I am as much a part of life as life itself
These roots grow from me to the earth and into all of its
beings
I am not a benign, nor hostile ever presence
Pull up roots, burn down trees
I will exist, always
tear down entire cities
I will exist, always
Seen by the eyes of many, spoken through the voice of all
Misery is absolute, always
I am the salt in your blood
I am your hands in the fire
There can be no solace without struggle
Through the mine
These roots grow not to restrict
Allow their growth, prevent their control
I am no illness or that which can be cured
There is no departure from what must be endured
For I am not foul
You need me to survive
You need me to realize the worth of life
I am no deirty, I accept no prayer
For I will bring no fortune
Regardless of that which you believe
I am as real as the soil
As the seas which churn
As if to worship fire
Fire still burns
I am the winds of human sorrow
I am the waves of no tomorrow
The time you live is the time you borrow
For I reside in all that's hollow
10. Penthos: Omnipresent
Mountains of stone
Woodlands which swell
Rivers that flow
I am part of all that's grown
Omnipresent
As populations burst forth
In lamentation I thrive
I am part of all that's life
I am the freezing snow
I am seas as deep as they go
The degradation of bone
I am part of all that's grown
