1. Occultation

[Instrumental]

2. Everything Ends in Darkness

May fatality consume every last cursed breath of life!

There is no hope for the living
Our ruin started from the moment we began
Let ever waking day serve as a reminder that
This wretched illusion will soon end

We were born to fade away, let us decay
From the shackles of our existence
Here we're not safe, we must escape
Towards the eternal embrace of the Grave

Death comes for all, and it leaves nothing behind
And once torn from this dreaded existence
A beautiful darkness we will find

I implore you to you forsake, every trace of faith
Accept there's no god above
Renounce your temporal flesh
Surrender every fucking drop of blood
When the time comes for you to part ways with your life
Don't hesitate, be willing to die

Praise the chosen way, seize your decay
From the shackles of our existence
Here we're not safe we must escape
Towards the eternal embrace of the Grave

Death comes for all, and it leaves nothing behind
And once torn from this dreaded existence
A beautiful darkness we will find

All Hail our emancipation, to the final destination
Let your senses disintegrate, and crumble away
Forever we will remain loyal to the endless Night
There is no reason to fear dying!
Bring forth your extinction; for to live is the true tragedy
Among the dead, is where we're destined to be

We were born to fade away, let us decay
From the shackles of our existence
Here we're not safe, we must escape
Towards the eternal embrace of the Grave

Death comes for all, and it leaves nothing behind
And once torn from this dreaded existence
A beautiful darkness we will find

3. My Shrine of Flesh

Let the burial rite be read, the funeral song be sung
Who shall sing the requiem wrought by the spit of sorrow's tongue?
An emptiness befell me, before the hollowed husk the darkness bore
Whose hallowed soul ensnared by the tempest of night's plutonian shore
Was it amour that enthralled me or was it madness that implored
My revelries, most appalling, within her cadaver I explored
I squandered the beauty that haunted the harrowed dark
Sordid - my touch that ensnared her buried heart
Oh, how the dead doth sing for you, my darling
Those nights I dreamt away
I lost myself when your golden eyes fell to grey
Prayeth for morrow to deliver me from thy deathly queen
Oh, what horrors hath thee, the exalted seen
For thine eyes I loved now ebon as the plume, the ravens wore
Deliverance, I shall ask – nevermore
Let the burial rite be read, the funeral song be sung
Who shall sing the requiem wrought by the spit of sorrow's tongue?
An emptiness befell me, before the hollowed husk the darkness bore
Whose hallowed soul ensnared by the tempest of night's plutonian shore
Oh, how the dead doth sing for you, my darling
Those nights I dreamt away
I lost myself when your golden eyes fell to grey
Oh, how the dead doth sing for you, my darling
Those nights I dreamt away
I lost myself when my sodden eyes fell unto your grave

4. How Dead Do I Look?

This earth is much too cold and impossible to sustain
In stasis, the blood kept clotting all the time
This scourge is just a dream, tormenting me
Until light takes us, from these husks of human swine

Distilled beneath the freezing moon
My decaying carcass lies frozen in time
Lament that coffin foddered crone
I'm dying, I'm dying for my demise

What will be left of me, when I'm dead and gone
As there was nothing for me when I was alive
How beautiful these final moments when my end has come
When there's nothing human inside

Now please excuse the blood, from this slit wrist tragedy
My spirit never belonged to this life
I have dawned the black hearts, a swansong misanthropy
My carcass forever exalted in time

Painted, that ghastly ghouled grin
I heave the stench of the carrion crows
For I'm a cellist with no cello or bow
But rather razors and flesh, cutting sonatas so bold

Only one thing is eternal
No one will ever miss you
Only one thing is eternal
No one will ever miss you

Now please excuse the blood, from this slit wrist tragedy
My spirit never belonged to this life
I have dawned the black hearts, a swansong misanthropy
My carcass forever exalted in time

Now please excuse the blood, from this slit wrist tragedy
My spirit never belonged to this life
I have dawned the black hearts, a swansong misanthropy
My carcass forever exalted in time

5. He Who Dances in Blood

My hate for humanity, has deeply inspired me
To prey upon their shit species invoking agony

I want to watch them suffer, as I rip each life apart
Mutilating the masses, from their flesh they'll depart

Callously their carnage will reign!
Paving the way for total obsolescence
Their disease beckons my destruction to flood
I let their corpses watch as I dance among the blood

Dissecting the living, I torture till each final breath
Thirsting to witness all existence vacate from inside
Their desperation plagues the air, still not a soul shall be spared
There's nothing more beautiful than the sight of their vivid demise

I have come to grace the night with the spoils of human life
Slitting the throats of every man, women and child alike
Their entrails I shall display, a shred of hope it will portray
Helplessly they'll all be laid to waste

Slashing away, puncturing all vital arteries
I tear open each vein, to drain every last drop of poison
With pleasure I will insure that their mass murder will shine
Smiting all those whom bleed, with a slaughter so divine

Callously their carnage will reign!
Paving the way for total obsolescence
Their disease beckons my destruction to flood
I let their corpses watch as I dance among the blood

I have come to grace the night with the spoils of human life
Slitting the throats of every man, women and child alike
Their existence is a stain, by my hands they'll die with pain
I want to see every last one bleed!

There is no hope, until they have all been destroyed

Kill!

Every mortal shall be slayed, this planet they have betrayed
There's not a single human being, on this dying earth whom deserves to breathe
Their genocide is the only remedy, may they be vanquished for an eternity

I have come to grace the night with the spoils of human life
Slitting the throats of every man, women and child alike
Their entrails I shall display, a shred of hope it will portray
Helplessly they'll all be laid to waste

I have come to grace the night with the spoils of human life
Slitting the throats of every man, women and child alike
Their existence is a stain, by my hands they'll die with pain
I want to see every last one bleed!

6. Postmortem Ritual

Coated in human cremations
Among the charnel grounds
We conjure the arcane

On this night, we shall dismember and dine upon the flesh of the dead
But first let us sever the head, in a devout ritual of divine madness
Sacredly, we must now split and crack open the decapitated skull
Siphoning the nectar from this inanimate brain
Before we exploit the carrion of this putrid offering

Honoring our necrophagic needs, on mortal spoilage we feast
These practices accompany our ecstasy
Renouncing every earthy belief coming face to face with disease
Morbid enlightenment has been achieved

Harvesting the purity from filth
We see the beauty in disgust
We celebrate the end of days
For this life wasn't meant for us
Intoxicated by the strange
Weaving between these profound flames
Chanting our mantras of decay
In death's name we pray

Climbing on top this headless corpse
This lifeless husk is now an altar
Upon it we mystically worship the deceased
Separating ourselves from this existential false reality
As this night unfolds our elated minds unwind
We've been set free all reincarnation

Casting all our sorrows aside
For everything we know is a lie
We were never meant to remain alive
We're already dead long live our termination
We're already dead long live our termination

To the fire we all must all sacrifice
The temptations that bind us to this world
We seek the glory of the end!
May we never live again!

Harvesting the purity from filth
We see the beauty in disgust
We celebrate the end of days
For this life wasn't meant for us
Intoxicated by the strange
Weaving between these profound flames
Chanting our mantras of decay
In death's name we pray

In death's name we pray (We pray to die)
In death's name we pray (We pray to die)
In death's name we pray (We pray to die)

Take us away!
Deliver us to thee destroyer of vitality
In death's name we pray
This life is yours to take!
Bleed us from this futile existence

7. Grieve

[Instrumental]

8. Overthrown by Oblivion

There watched I for the Dead, but no ghost woke

Bleakness consumes the light of day, among these dreary resting grounds
The buried ones I named and called, yet not one soul was to be found
The essence of all spiritual life has been crushed by obscurity
Once eternal to the Night, forever we'll be gone!

Their deprivation draws me near tempting me to disappear
Beneath these shattered, forlorn skies, a blissful emptiness has evolved
This stillness has morbidly enthralled my weary mind to be withdrawn
Ever so frequently, I've lurked the graveyards in despair
In seek of the departed, who've been unaware that they're no longer here
Oblivious we shall become, the moment we cease to exist
Unconscious we shall forever remain
Once our experience has been dismissed

Eager to languish among the black womb of tranquility
I lust to lay this flesh to rest for an eternity
Oblivion, please won't you come and take this light away
O, Death, seize my breathe, negate me from the living!

Oftentimes I wonder, why am I still alive?
Day by day I wake up contemplating suicide
I want to forget that I ever lived
From this world I shall now hide
As I disappear I've never felt so satisfied
Deep down I feel nothing all sensation has been deprived
Exhuming a casket so that I can grieve inside
Peering at a vacant skull right through its hallowed eyes
Forever desensitized my will to live will never survive

Tonight! I'll become one with these worthless remains
Wherein this perfect dark every mortal fades
There is no heaven or hell to believe

I'll become one with these worthless remains
Wherein this perfect dark every mortal fades
There is no heaven or hell to believe

Oftentimes I wonder, why am I still alive?
Day by day I wake up contemplating suicide
I want to forget that I ever lived
From this world I shall now hide
As I disappear I've never felt so satisfied
Deep down I feel nothing all sensation has been deprived
Exhuming a casket so that I can grieve inside
Peering at a vacant skull right through its hallowed eyes
Forever desensitized my will to live will never survive!

Anxiously I await my demise
Everything will die forever
Everyone will die alone
In the end there is nothing
But a finale of ashes and bones
Overthrown by oblivion

9. Helotry

Impatiently she summons me, beneath the land of the living
I hear her precious voice urging me to desecrate her grave
With haste, my shovel seeks out her coffin, to retrieve her corpse below
Colluding with darkness to reclaim my late angel

Lingering back to the confines of her subjugation
Unholy her love is, painful yet so enthralling
It's time I join her, through methods of exsanguination
I'll sacrifice myself to finally end this suffering

Among her grace I'm inspired to
Mutilate myself, over her livid crust, I bleed
As I succumb to these fatal desires
I bid farewell to the final traces of my vitality

Basking in the fumes, I taste her putridness, enticing me
To evoke every forbidden urge and finalize these flagrant dreams
My ties to self destruction, merely can't be appeased
My withdrawal is the solution, suicide is the chosen vaccine

Rot and ruin, my bleak angel, now that you're finally free
I'm soon to join you for this life is but a tragedy
Rot and ruin, my blue angel, may my end bring you peace
Let me escort back, you to the darkened realms of the deceased

Death and decay has awakened me
Bleeding over her carcass is where I feel at ease
As I cut away, I gaze deep into her overcast eyes
Embracing my own end, for there's no better time to die!

Death and decay is all that's left for me
Devoted to her pestilence, motionless I'll soon be
These insatiable maladies, I no longer defy
I hold her by the throat to give one final kiss good night

Sinking unto these scarlet stains, passing beyond the point of pain
This blood spews with my ecstasy, I can see the curtains fall
At once, may we rot away together, let our carcasses unite
So long I've waited to leave this unsought flesh behind

To a cessation so divine

Rot and ruin, my bleak angel, now that you're finally free
I'm soon to join you for this life is but a tragedy
Rot and ruin, my blue angel, may my end bring you peace
Let me escort back, you to the darkened realms of the deceased

Death and decay has awakened me
Bleeding over her carcass is where I feel at ease
As I cut away, I gaze deep into her overcast eyes
Embracing my own end, for there's no better time to die!

Death and decay is all that's left for me
Devoted to her pestilence, motionless I'll soon be
These insatiable maladies, I no longer defy
I hold her by the throat to give one final kiss good night

10. Carcass Heart

I want be torn from this pain beneath my skin
Cleansed from this disease of being human
Never did I ask to be housed inside of this husk of flesh
Now let me heave in my apocalypse
Take me back to the enduring darkness
Unhoist my broken neck, dispose of this carcass
I am pleading before the gates of Dis to let me in
All I have to offer is my dismal end

I'm so obsessed with death, all I can taste is my demise
My heart is severely numb, my emotions remain paralyzed
Oh' how my self loathing thoughts quickly quell what's left of me
Aiding in my escape from this living catastrophe

Succumbing to a natural suicidal state of mind
I'm anxious to decay, and perish far from all mankind
I'm eager to be bloodless, astray without a care
Exiled from this unsought world absent from mortal despair
Flirting with my extinction, for in this hell, i'm dispossessed
A still breathing corpse, sustaining by a burrowed breath
Into a vast oblivion, I long to come undone
As I step up to this noose, from my death, I shall no longer run

I see no hope, just an auspicious rope
Within it's clutch, I'll place my throat, then hang myself until I fucking choke
Out every trace of air leaving none to spare, this unwanted life
My well being I sacrifice

Seduced by the noose
May every memory be erased
My presence I shall now forsake
In peace I suffocate

I want be torn from this pain beneath my skin
Cleansed from this disease of being human
Never did I ask to be housed inside of this husk of flesh
Now let me heave in my apocalypse
Take me back to the enduring darkness
Unhoist my broken neck, dispose of this carcass
I am pleading before the gates of Dis to let me in
All I have to offer is my dismal end

11. Between the Dead and Dying

Embracing this final hour; I watch the suffering of existence disappear
Serene dreams of suicide nurse my desire to welcome decay
This numbing escape feels so sincere
Scarred from torment inside, please help me die
Bring forth the end of this dearly diminished life
Acquit me of all sorrows, for I choose to live no more
Spare me a tomorrow, let oblivion consume
Tonight there is no turning back from the inevitable, I want to taste my doom

Beneath this sallow moonlight I no longer recognize
Any difference between the dead and dying
We are all terminal, our fate is unified
There will be no remorse as I leave this mortal life behind

Holding hands with the angel of demise
We dance upon the graves of the forgotten earthly casualties;
Drifting further from yet another sunrise
As she carries me away from blight of my mortality

Majestically her razors maim as they're acquainted with my veins
Slice deep down into this skin, release the hell that dwells within
Vehemently her razors weep as I fall into a dreamless sleep
We danced till I was anguish free and absent from humanity

Collapsing to the depths of this earth
Let me die alone, I don't want to be remembered
Exiting this life, boldly ready to know
Where the dead have gone and the dying shall surely go

Ay, but to perish, and finally fade, alas!
To be the nothing I once was, I shall gladly give my ebbing breath
Death is all that I covet, there's no desire in staying alive
As I cross over into the unknown, consider this my final goodbye

Majestically her razors maim as they're acquainted with my veins
Slice deep down into this skin, release the hell that dwells within
Vehemently her razors weep as I fall into a dreamless sleep
We danced till I was anguish free and absent from humanity

Collapsing to the depths of this earth
Let me die alone, I don't want to be remembered
Exiting this life, boldly ready to know
Where the dead have gone and the dying shall surely go

12. The Descent I: Into Acheron We Descend

Open the gates, here we come upon the tides of Acheron
The souls of acrid carrion bear no nepenthe to anchorage them
These passages flow infernal, native to the nocturnal
Beneath these austere waves of spite will emerge my fleshless acolytes
All miscreants shall undergo and unearth the tongue of woe
There is no purge where they will go, their despair will be sewn
Breathlessly subsisting, weeping their amends
Onward we still go
Into Acheron we descend

Spirit's screaming in vain for me to take away their jagged misery
Little do they know, it is not I who controls
I'm just a messenger of death on this dreary coast of sorrow

Unshackled by their deity
Left to sulk in stagnant shades, of odious melancholy
Corrupted daze now amongst my sails they writhe
Shattered by such frail beliefs aloud, they all decry

Never ending they will fall, cruel beginnings shape them all
Unconsciously seduced by this river's blessed contagion
Everlasting they will crawl along the shores of Avernus
Newly deceased beliefs mangle their last thoughts of salvation

Within the wretched, unwillingly they bow to ill fate
Embracing every fear, flourishing in the throes of hate
Drifting closer towards the realms of unsung vile
Dreadfully this is where they'll eternally wallow

Among these Lethean floods, becoming unhallowed with lust
These unblessed Stygian depths guide us to the end of sensation

Within the wretched, unwillingly they bow to ill fate
Embracing every fear, flourishing in the throes of hate
Drifting closer, towards the realms of unsung vile
Dreadfully this is where they'll eternally wallow
Dreadfully this is where they'll eternally wallow

Among these Lethean floods, becoming unhallowed with lust
These unblessed Stygian depths guide us to the end of sensation
Never to be reclaimed
Revolving aimlessly through the corridors of damnation

13. The Descent II: Moral Ruin

Abandon all fucking hope…

"Floating the swells that spiral below
Caressed by the fire, that blackens their defeat
As they slip from the grips of anguish, they arrive in the chambers of deceit
Under the ice, and right through the flames
They become tamed, to the end
Surrendering everything they have left
To the realms of Moral Ruin"

Obsolete identities entranced by nihility
Forced to crave for apathy, doomed they now decline
Watching as those who have lived without any shame or honor
Get prosecuted to these pitiless waters

Flushing the memories from the minds of expired mortal swine
Rest assure there'll see no redemption
Raping their senses till they're dry; apprehending mankind, one scum at time
They will surrender

Damning all that is divine
Nothing remains extant beyond the flesh of time
Drowning in their values that had left them disposed
Dissolving as calamity to an ever darkening world

In the realms of Moral Ruin, they have lost their ways
Desecrated, and set astray among the depraved
Dominated, forced to linger dismally
Miscreated and enslaved to their own trickery
Deluded by the impious stains; emaciated, they thrive on their own dismay
Courting the end of their days; straight down the throat of unfathomed cruelty

Drivellers starving for an end… to begin
Stripped from every feeling, except torment
Still engaged with the descent, they must now part ways with their oblivion

Miscreated to die a thousand times a night
Demoralized they discharge their last hopes of redeeming their might
As they relapse, they wither from within
Deconsecrated, they depart to the depths of torrid sin

TO THE DEPTHS OF TORRID SIN!

Abandon all fucking hope

14. The Descent III: Sheol

Now you begin your suffering

Welcome to these torturous realms, where misery is renowned
Here true despair thrives no salvation will ever be found
Welcome to your second death your eternal destiny
You've been forsaken to the abyss beneath
Here your soul will never rest in peace

Wallow in your loneliness, find faith within your pain
Your sorrow is forever, your guilt you can't evade
Here you'll remain absent, your existence shall be void
At the peak of your commiseration, you'll perpetually be destroyed

Your worthless soul will forever be damned
To the unforgiving abode of repentance
You've been doomed for being birthed as a human
Piece of shit

Let the anguish transcend as you wail amongst the grave
Consumed by desolation, your gloom you must now obey
Shrouded in hell, the thirst for your woe can't be quelled
Now that your depleted, your misery will rise, and prevail

Here you'll explicitly fail to find your way from the midst of dismay
And as you drown aside the fragments of the depraved
You now know you'll never be saved

Nocturnal symphonies, lament for me
Serenade the underworld with your grief
The tune of your torment is a masterpiece
The truth is that you were doomed from the start
Born to fail then vanish back among the dark
Once bound to these despairing realms
You shall remain unhealed

Mentally and physically broken
Your true weaknesses have been revealed
Everytime you close your eyes you'll descend
To the bottomless pits of emptiness
To the bottomless pits of emptiness

Let the anguish transcend as you wail amongst the grave
Consumed by desolation, your gloom you must now obey
Shrouded in hell, the thirst for your woe can't be quelled
Now that your depleted, your misery will rise, and prevail

Here you'll explicitly fail to find your way from the midst of dismay
And as you drown aside the fragments of the depraved
You now know you'll never be saved

Nocturnal symphonies, lament for me
Serenade the underworld with your grief
The tune of your torment is a masterpiece

I will be here for you as you fall apart
Only to stress that your spirit will immortally be scarred
Once bound to these greivious realms
You shall remain unhealed

Mentally and physically broken
Shattered within the barren womb of wistfulness
Uncherished in death, you couldn't be any more meaningless

All will return to the colorless grave
Where the shadows roam and depression eternally reigns
There is no cure for death, only certain darkness
