BEHOLD OBLIVION LYRICS

1. Witness

To the legion of man,
Your story draws to an end.

Witness

Collapse of society, in a state of tribal warfare
Astronomical destruction nothing in sight

Degradation of order, anarchy alive
Once again begin the cyclic ending of human life

Follow me through destiny

Witness humanity's collision with the blades of fate

Crushing of the weakened soul, in a state of constant battle
Disintegration of the mind, nothing is real

Degradation of order, anarchy alive
Once again begin the cyclic ending of every life

Follow me through destiny

Witness depravity, Dominion of mankind erased

Kneel before me as I
Rebuild this world in my image

For too long you've defied
And now you suffer eternally

Upon the precipice of restoration
Upon the dawn of Armageddon
While you are gasping for air I will say
To the legion of man,
Your story draws to an end.

Witness humanity's collision with the blades of fate
Witness depravity. Dominion of mankind erased

2. Sensory Disillusion

My children, be still in ignorance.

Keep your eyes forward, leave my ways unquestioned.
Stay asleep, believe in the illusion.
Find your satisfaction in the insignificant,
And never hesitate to ask why.

Idolize the weak
Worship the vain
Value the worthless
Enthralled by disgrace

Awakened
Sensory Disillusion

I have enslaved you to preoccupation,
Bound by your own sensory shackles.
You have found peace in self-destruction,
And have never once sought escape.

My children, be still and know...

I have journeyed through the darkness

Between the most distant stars
The eternal witness

I have beheld the birth of suns
And the entropy of entire realities
The eternal witness

Yet in my knowledge, I have yet to see
A species so blind,
Begging to be freed.

All that you've built here is nothing but a fading dream.
A dream from which you will awake,
Drowned, in a greater nightmare.

You have made an enemy of time
(His hourglass empties. His grip, it tightens)
And in a blink of his eye, your people will fade
(A memory better kept forgotten)

Idolize the weak
Worship the vain
Value the worthless
Enthralled by disgrace.

3. Soul Control

From the frozen dream awake, from the grayscale sleep arise.
Your vision blurring, painstaking sight.
Now as the first tendrils of sunlight are drawn across the sky
Your gaze turns inward, Your thoughts become clear

To see with the eyes within
Is to see for the first time.
The parallax of thought, abstract sight,
Soul control of the mind.

Know my child that the infinite cannot be held
Your true center will remain unseen.
Release control, transformation begins.
Giving of the soul unto the darkness within.

See dimensions of existence, inconceivable.
See the embodiment of malevolence
Know that omniscience is within your grasp
Know, Your power overwhelming

To see with the eyes within
Is to see for the first time.
The parallax of thought, abstract sight,
Soul control of the mind.

Tear apart the shell of flesh
Expose the eternal essence
Open the gateway to your inner thoughts
And gain complete control

Open your eyes to the invisible spectrum
Synthetic perception.

4. Empyrean

The death of a sun
Imploding mass of cosmic energy
A system devoid of light
The macropyre to end all life

The planetary gears of my design begin to turn

Celestial plan put in place
Their fates woven at the dawn of time

The infinite being
Empyrean hunger for life
The mortal misunderstanding
Galactic culling for all of time

Written in the stars, the story of my conquest
Astral forces bend the fabric of time
As the feeble ones reach out into the dark
My hand will guide them to their final place

The planetary gears of my design begin to turn

Countless lifeforms assimilated to feed my insatiable lust
With each genocide my power grows
The memory of your race is forever lost

One by one you will soon become
Part of me, undone to the chains of time.

5. Hive Mind

Growing in the darkness, festering beneath the skin
Forming the first cells of corruption
Multiplying infestation reaches the apex of decay
The onset of neural mutilation

I am the voice inside
Relinquish all control
It flows through your mind
My will takes hold

The eyes roll back, possession is complete
You become the spectator inside
Your limbs no longer obey, your words are not your own,
And the urge to struggle will slowly subside

I am the voice inside
Relinquish all control
It flows through your mind
My will takes hold

Divination awaits you
Disconnecting from time
Realize your purpose
Become one with the hive

I am the collective consciousness
The billions without form
You are the manifestation of my desires
The bio-weaponized swarm.

If your flesh should fail, that flesh will be made anew.
That is my covenant with the eternal brood

Without number
(Heart of the swarm)
With no end in sight
(Living ocean of chaos)
Flowing sea of flesh
(Become my will)
The accursed blight
(Purification of life)

I am the collective consciousness
The billions without form
You are the manifestation of my desires
The bio-weaponized swarm.

6. No One Left

Veiled in the guise of justice,
You claim yours is the voice of the weak.

But how clearly your intentions are revealed,
As viciousness glazes over your eyes.

Serpent tongue hidden behind a crooked smile;
Grotesque mouth disgorging lies.

They are not the victims playing your force-fed role.
Armed with stones to throw, scapegoats to blame,
Never able to reap what they sow.
You give them strength in hatred,
Synthesize destruction.
Sitting on your throne built on broken backs
Now our calloused hands reach for your throat.

Veiled in the guise of justice,
You claim yours is the voice of the weak.

May you choke on your own deceit
When finally the people see,
The enemies you fabricate
Are mere puppets upon your strings;
Dancing to your ever-twisted song.
And when the curtain falls,
They all have lost their way.

Veiled in the guise of justice

As they watch this illusionary show
Your selfish hands reach into our purse unknown.

But how clearly your intentions have been revealed.
And now your viciousness will destroy you from within.

7. Immolator

I am the hatred for your fellow man
The embodiment of greed and pride
I am your burning malevolence
Unending disdain for your own kind
I am the hidden one disguised in fear
The guilt that engulfs your mind

Immolator
The catalyst of war
History written by hand
(I will always be)

Immolator
The harbinger abhorred
Destiny destroyed by my hand
(You will bow at my feet)

I have dwelled within your soul
Four countless centuries untold
The searing agony awaits
Your flesh will scorch

Your flesh will scorch, bathed in fire.
Death will be your sweet release.
Still you remain blind to truth.
You are a pawn, the casualty of your people's doom.

Immolator
The catalyst of war
History written by hand
(I will always be)

Immolator
The harbinger abhorred
Destiny destroyed by my hand
(You will bow at my feet).

8. Legion Atrophic

Dawn, the sanguine sun crests afar.
Our eyes strained to see, as
Wings of carrion obscure the sky,
Salivating at the feast.

Death befell all who stood their ground
Torn apart their bodies befouled
Crushed beneath unrelenting claws
No mercy was shown

Separating the earth
Forasken maw unfolding
The harbinger of the end
Speaks his haunting words

I'm nothing more than a ghost
Now unto me you must absolve your souls
Fear not your fate for again you will rise
This masked illusion will be your demise

All tormented souls begging for death's embrace
Who call to masters now, release our mortal binds.
They writhe in agony for all of eternity.

Eloquent words written in scars inscribe the terrible passings of the battle
Intricate patterns splayed in flesh to appease the ones who guide their hands
Cadaverous facade erected in worship to their demon gods below
Cries of the wicked echo in their halls,
The deathsong in their ears.

Marching forth through winter's grasp
Their withering lives wrought from their hands
All they held close
A fading thought of what was once their souls
Breathing stops burning hearts turning cold.

Dusk, the sanguine sun sets afar
Oh Ur eyes bleeding see
Wings of carrion take to the sky
Salivating at the feast.

Skeletal lord forces his will upon those with the weakened mind
Waiting once again to rise at his call to take up arms.

Now they wait at his word
Hilts held in deadened clutch.

9. The Desert's Curse

In the distance, across this lifeless expanse
Buried deep beneath the sands
For centuries asleep, until the final call
To bring death to their lands

Hear the cries of the damned beckoning your demise
Feel the warmth of the sun against your dying skin

The silence of the sands is deafening.
I hold your life in my hands
Feel the desert's caress
The desert's curse

In this, your darkest hour
In the moment before ascent
I am here by your side
Trust in me to extinguish your life
As swiftly as I have arrived

The silence of the sands is deafening.
I hold your life in my hands
Feel the desert's caress
The desert's curse

No corner of earth too far,
No ocean floor too deep,
No desert too vast,
To keep you from me.

Deserted amongst the ghosts
Of the ones devoured before you
Alone in desolation
With only the shifting sands to keep you company
Alone in desolation

The twisted crown adorning
A Visage most unholy
Time will only last you so long
Hope will only take you so far

You will become the dust in my wake
You will become the focus of my hate
You will become the dust in my wake
I will become the seal upon your fate.

10. Warden

What have you come here trying to find?
What is that you are looking for?
Within this realm of unconscious thought
What you seek is nothing but a fleeting lie

How times have you tried to dig
Into the furthest reaches of your dreams
Only to awake
To a place where all you long for is sleep

Oh but the sweet release never comes
For you are already beneath
Looking up through the surface of reality

Upon the shores of the dreaming mind
Lies the edge of all manifestation

What have you come here trying to find?
What is that you are looking for?
Within this realm of unconscious thought
What you seek is nothing but a fleeting lie

Why have you done this?
Everything that I lived for is gone
Now come and join me
we will lie forever in sleep

Why have you done this?
Everything is gone.

You will be locked beneath
I am the warden of your mind
And there is no escape

Here you must now wait
The sentencing has just begun
Behold your fate
From this you will never wake.

Why have you done this?
Everything is gone.

11. Terraform

Arrival of the end
(Collapsing atmosphere)
The failure of a race, driven towards extinction.

Forced into the void
(The exodus of mankind)
We looked into the cold unforgiving.

We extend our reach
(To distant stars)
In hope of survival
In hope of a new homeworld

Death came without warning, the burning of our system.
Unforeseen epoch of fire, celestial cycle complete.
The massive cannibalistic devouring of our sun
Rebuild.

Beyond the edge of perception, we came upon a new star
Here, in an unfamiliar world, will begin the next era of man

From nothing, We will create life
From nothing, Forge the air of existence
From nothing, We will escape
To self-determination

Forced into the void
(The exodus of mankind)
We looked into the cold unforgiving.

We extend our reach
(To distant stars)
In hope of survival
In hope of a new homeworld

In order for us to survive, we must rebuild
A world without pride
In order for us to survive, we must rebuild
With only perfection in mind

Or face our demise.
(Behold the new era of man. Survival in defiance of fate)
Demise
(Rebuild in knowledge, or we will face the true end)

Witness the end of all
We'll witness the end of all.

I have borne witness. I have seen the way.

Follow me through destiny.

12. Ascendance

[Bonus Track]

My dreams are the monolith in your hollow sky
Built by my hand, the testament of my will
Fingers of stone point forever, mocking me
But my ascendance will humble you yet.

Those words you spoke are but a whisper now
Drowned out by the herald of my rebirth
But I assure you those words were not in vain
As they ignited the fire to my life.

The wall of your contempt has fallen
And you are left defenseless
But take my hand regardless
Because this victory is yours as it is mine.

For years you tread upon my aspirations
Told me that I was not meant for this
But when i'm on the other side of the world
I'll be too busy to say I told you so.

I've broken away
I see the path that's laid out before me

Now our eyes are fixed towards the future
This music paves the road ahead
Still the steepest of mountains stands in our way

This is our ascendance from the life we left behind.

Try as you may but you will never take this from our hands.
