1. Praeludium

[Instrumental]

2. As Night Devours Day

[2010, Velankanny]

Soulless soaring bird of prey with bloodshot human eyes
On the prowl for distinct disarray, as its horrible cry rips the sky
Feel gorge feast flock
To be preying upon the least
For the pit-born beast
Creep across the waste
In manifold ways
The creature shifts its shape
As night devours day
One of many wretched deadly marvels
That this hellhole holds
We once called home
Ruined cities too familiar
Among the remnants stalks this one
Deceiving disguise
For it took the form of man
Wrapped in rags he is clad like the reaper
His very steps followed by a living black cloud
Deeply droning buzzing noises
Hellish choir of whispering voices
Contorted grin behind the moving shroud
Persuasive speech in the feeble's minds
Vermin fills the air and their humming words do terrible harm
Defiling scourge in human form
The wanderer commands the swarm

Kneeling in anguish
The raided weak
When the swarm is done they crouch in shock
The spirits reaped from the human
For the harvester to feast upon

When the fragile are consumed
Kept in his body's tomb
For the wicked sturdy looms
An afterlife-long doom

One of many vicious baleful errands for his death cold liege
The court of bone

Speeding back to his bleak master
He bears the black mark of the Eboncrown

3. Carnivole

Come now come savor joy in its purest form
Rejoice and revel
Fill your cup drink up and witness the spectacle
Rapture of the highest level
Zest decrees panem et circense
Off the bone, bloody meat
Stuff our maws and on we feed
Blood is shed, the slavering throng raves ahead
All ravenous shall be fed
Voracious cries will be heard craving naked flesh
Time to sate, morals unmade
Redefine sin in our lust parade
In times ruled by guile and slander
Our slaves shall build our promised land
They die for us in violent splendor
In ecstasy we cheer and chant
Mate! Feed! Kill! Repeat!
Mate! Feed! Kill! Repeat!
Mate! Feed! Kill! Repeat!
Mate and feed, kill then repeat!
And so it goes
On and on - towards Babylon
This is all but ritual that is both pleasure and decadent worship for
We want more
Conjure the Whore
Opulence bestowed
Shame unlearned and disavowed
Let your senses now be charmed in all delicious ways
Greed ensnared
Not a soul will be spared
The glorious plight of Caligula's heir
Fixated on sating, overpopulating, always copulating
Our kingdom come, second to none beastly deeds forever be done
Opulence bestowed
Shame unlearned and disavowed
This is all but ritual that is both pleasure and decadent worship to us
Till the end of days
Devour ourselves in malicious ways
For even if our kind is gone our hunger rages on and on

4. There Shall Be Light

[2010, Holzreiter]

Disembodied souls piled up in the towers of deceit
Mesmerizing symbols of the freed
Bipolar minds forced into the catacombs of greed
Far beneath the towers of deceit
Architects of hollowness
Assassins all who follow this
This exodus into the realm
The realm of nothingness
Suppress the shape of things to come
- Never! Never!
Revise what will not have begun -
Never ever!
Thus spoke the Universe:
When the sacrificed unite to tear down the wall
With the first rays of light the fortress will fall
Mutilated souls dangling from the tree of destiny
Pendula of black utility
Helpless minds waving flags of silent slavery
Praying for the divination
Impact on the sin-wrecked
There shall be light
Come-uppance for the puppets
Thriving on their might
Impact on the sin-wrecked
There shall be light
All space is filled with numbing sound
All there is but cannot be is tumbling down
The arson well prepared
No single life be spared
The rumbling masses gathered
Thus spoke the Universe:
When the sacrificed unite to tear down the wall
With the first rays of light the fortress will fall
When blood-red fills the sky, we shall conquer all
With the first rays of light the fortress will fall

5. Ex Machina

[2010, Holzreiter]

Mankind's mirror metaphor
In kind devotion's wage
Mankind's mirror metaphor
In kind devotion's wage
Kindly kill my craving core
This night you'll come of age
In His name
Creation of shame
Innocence in no sense
Behind these walls in slumber deep
Unrepentant timeless sleep
Dormant lies the naked sheep
To fall from grace
Endlessly weep
When mend means break
Virtues mistake
Incarnated eternity
A blur of moral clarity
Thy servants bear thy serpent
On thee their backs they turn
Enlightenment bears all umbrage
Lord, thy bridges burn
Penetrated armor
Infiltrated harbor
Word to flesh to power
Evil's birthing hour
Ruthless stomps come cracking you
Dark and light ex machina
Thy servants bear thy serpent
- Black the hearts embraced
On thee their backs they turn
- The Angel leaves its place
Enlightenment bears all umbrage
- Obscurity to earn
Lord, thy bridges burn
Extinct instincts impending doom
Obligation freedom menaces loom
Worlds and borders transcendent orders
He who sees the wrong and right sees thy only bridge ignite
Mankind's mirror metaphor
Kindly kills my craving core
When fight means world
When straight lines curl
Where terror reigns
Where wisdom pains
Where see means mourn
Where dead means born
The bastard child won't learn
That Lord thy bridges still burn

6. The Drive To Hail Disorder

[2009-2010, Velankanny]

At times when a struggling mind is far to weak to cope
Crippled senses overdose on whatever means blank out the most
Come drown the notion in a vast and hideous venomous ocean
The deep shall veil disorder
Weather-beaten soul went far to feed on hope
Fake intentions to get by can't reflect animate the lie
Come choke devotion let it's life rush past in cold slow motion
The drive to hail disorder now
Wait and see the carnage here
Chopped up bits and pieces of the fat stock
Wait for it to disappear
Locked up trapped in ever changing scenery
Black rain pouring down on me as I hear the music play
Let it play
Please don't - don't let it stop - the melody must stay in my head
Please! no! - just make it stop - let quiet peace take over instead
Please don't! - can't let it stop – no safe way back for I've let it spread
Please! no! - don't make it stop - the malady is all that I have

7. Domination On Their Mind

[2008-2010, Velankanny]

Deep in the starless night, commotion stirs the dark
Pale fullmoon's cold light silence broken
Grey shadows make their way speeding paws leave their mark
Pursuing the trail of the stranger
Innocent little maid - tight in the riders arms
Shivering she prays - the wolves are coming
It's the voice of nature calling
Domination on their mind
Retrieve the captured lost one
Stolen from her kin
Hunting the wilderness he came across the den
Asleep among the whelps, there he saw her
Quickly he drew the blade to rescue her from them
Cold-blooded rage wolven blood spilled - remorselessly
In his grip the crying maiden
Suddenly arising howl
Glowing eyes around are coming charging to chase him down
Who is the hunted now?
The pack is closing in - he looks into the eyes of the child
And before his fall - he sees in them the gleam of the wild
It's the voice of nature calling
Domination on their mind
Retrieve the captured lost one
Stolen from her kind

8. Of Ember And Flame

[2009-2010, Velankanny]

Terrible scream of fright! Wrenched from my throat in the heart of midnight
Thirsting for my blood they've come for me
Drag me along with their vengeful hate
The price of sin must duly be paid
The ancient law that I did break says
"He who hath tasted Crimson,
Shall feed the Flames forevermore"
Tie him down and let him sear
Indulgence!
He's far from forgiveness
Transgression shall be punished with an endless woe
I stepped into the sacred forbidden shrine
A well of purple fire sprang forth invitingly
As I drank from it I was struck by bright feline eyes
And fled into the dark blessed by the scarlet grace
Stay awake
Endure the fiery penalty
Don't faint now!
You'll be lashed by the flaring tongue
You won't die!
You'll not be granted the peace of death
Far from it!
You'll be punished with an ever- burning woe
Terrible stream of light! Cracks from the earth, in the vividly dead night
Tied down at the punishing grounds, there's no regret
Flicker in their eyes of unforgiving hate
The price of mortal sin must duly be paid
The ancient law I set forth to break
"He who hath tasted Crimson shall feed the flames"
"He who hath tasted Crimson shall feed the flames forevermore"
Forevermore!
Here they rot, here they bur and the ground bestrewn with their ashes
All the infidel foul sinners
Who dared to defile what is sacred
Hear their wailing cries
Disharmony of atonement
Luring obscurity
Inner impurity
Damnable essence of my loss
In spite of flame's embrace I shall refuse to repent
I'll be its feeding ember
As the fire licks away my mortal shape
My scorched eyes behold
The rising of my crimson star
Be not afraid for you heard my call
I light the path through your rise and fall
Let your devotion inspire all

9. Calm After The Storm

[2008, Holzreiter]

A river separates our towns
Head for the ancient ruins -
Life unmade a desolate
Sight in the distance
Overgrown decayed
Detour to the sacred land
The cosmic preacher preaches my end:
"The last resort - rest in a vault
The hostile legions cannot be stalled
Legends told in riddles This endless battle is an infection
Unsolved henceforth ignored Death precedes resurrection"
But secretly adored
This endless battle is an infection
A river separates our souls Resurrection
Storm-streamed flag on the pole
Peaceful contamination of time Clear skies, that I will re-embrace
But sirens summon the lashing hail From perfect emptiness I resurface
And endless battles form a meaningless war
The hostile legions stand guard at your door
Darkness surrounding
The only source of light
Are your candles
That pierce eternal night
Distant brightness severs the gloom
Armed with torches closing in and I see you standing guard at my
Mercilessly slithering tomb
Illuminated destruction lies around me
No doubt left now that reality has found me
Unlocked chains to the bank they tie me still
Unlocked chains erase my mind, my will
On the horizon, my fears, cloaked in hoods
I try to tear the floods
Tear The Floods
Live together die alone
Wreckage of my broken throne
Invaded, defeated, kingdoms burnt to ashes
Unbuilt bridges can't bear the weight of my crown

10. Matricide

[2008-2010, Velankanny]

Swarming the surface, crawling all over hill and dale
An appalling lie of unicoloniality
Parasites nurturing, violently feasting on gifts of life
Isolated pinions in the machinery
Their spirit fuels the fire
Vanishing in the smoke and grime
Completely consumed in desire
Slaves to their own purpose till the end of time
Fettered by longings, all products of their greedy minds
Procreation's miracle degraded to merely an act of lust
Digging and drilling never stop killing while defiling sacred grounds
Behold! the blood-smeared face of
Gaia
Created long aeons ago
Made from the dust of the ground
Driven by hunger to know
Betrayal profound
Ever in throes of failure
Weakness turned to flesh and blood
Chance to be its own saviour
They'd rather be done with it for good
The chosen kind destined to reign
To wisely rule their new domain
But the gift of pure free will entailed divine hope once dreamed that - failed
Killing among the litter mates
Becoming the brothers bane
Bearing the bloody blame
Mimic remains the same, swallow the pain
They're living a life of lies to quench the thirst of industry
And even if innocence dies
Self imposed oil drenched slavery
Setting the sun recovers her wounds with the veil of night
As Gaia lies in agony, the engines of war set to ignite
Will these dark ages finally end in matricide?

11. Unseal Them Caskets

[2007-2010, Holzreiter]

Yes - No - Simultaneously
Where can it lead?
A stage of justice, stage of certainty
A stage for malice, burn the dragon seed

Preying off of fear and pain
Slaying what is good and sane
Colorblind the ignorance
And close the open mind

Concrete eyelids, impossible to see
Change of desire, self-hypocrisy
Yes - No - Simultaneously
Where does it lead?

Wake up

Stages of justice and all staged certainty
Shattered foundations of all reality
All our convictions are merged in belief
All that remains is just desperate grief

Call to the fathers that fathers were calling
When mothers and fathers called out to the fallen
Unseal them caskets for finite regress
Bother - a pit so bottomless

Stages of justice, outrageous certainty
Shattered foundations of all reality
The yes, the no, the constant contradictions
Lifetimes wasted, lifetimes spent consoling crude convictions

12. Chronicles Of Devastation

[2007-2010, Holzreiter, Velankanny]

It's only a matter of time - You're moribund
I pull the trigger - I watch it dive
Behold the horrid beauty from safely out of reach

Flesh, blood, bones
All across the horizon
Pain, demise
I will blacken the sun
I will blacken the sun

Unable to feel
They made me unable to feel
Burned by the heat of the nimbus
The end never seemed so real
Devastating heat of the nimbus

A blinding flash and deafening roar
You won't forget the sound of war, it won't leave your ears, nevermore
A vast blast of fire - Shatters the earth
Unfeeling empire giving horror a creeping dead rebirth

Lies, heed, kill
Do as the top brass say
Tunes of joy
Cover up the human disgrace

Cripple their children and their children to come
Cripple their children and their children to come
Victims of destruction, Chronicles of devastation
Generations born to radiant life

Badge of honour
Carcass cold
Death for currency
Peace was sold

Their war, their war
Man-made, man-made
Their hope, their hope
Unmade, unmade
In the wake of the cleansing storm
A new clear future ahead

As the last day ends, all innocence is gone
And a new bright sun arises
But you'll never see the dawn, for all that's left are only infected lost demises
In the wake of the cloud, I cannot feel
I am your doom (I am your doom)

They sowed bad seed
Of which we became
And now it's our turn
To sow that seed again
They sowed bad seed
Of which we became
And now it's our turn
To sow that seed again
