MY OWN GRAVE LYRICS

1. Unleash

[Instrumental]

2. From The Ashes

From the ashes born, a new beginning dawns.
Disciples of chaos resurrect and form.
From beyond the grave sounds the symphony of war.
Smashing through the gates of death with ten fist-wielded scorn.

Thought the beast was dead?
Thought the grave would quiet the call?
Pity to your weapons, fable mortal craft!
Left to rot, devoured by unearthly pain.
Dead and burned, brought back to life to kill again!
A thousand screams of death greet the rising dawn.
From the ashes born!

This is rebirth, adrenaline breathing life through stagnant limbs.
Zombie teeth grinding deep, post mortem evolution.
Cutting threads of dying faith, of narrow-minded ire.
Fire raging in my veins, the lust for blood the thirst for life.

The sound of heavy boots against the marble steps.
The battering of clenched fists against the pearly gates.

Thought the beast was dead?
Thought the grave would quiet the call?
Pity to your weapons, fable mortal craft!
Left to rot, devoured by unearthly pain.
Dead and burned, brought back to life to kill again!
A thousand screams of death greet the rising dawn.
From the ashes born!

3. Into Pieces

Waiting in the grave
buried deep in the trenches of hell
Standing in line to die yet I'm already dead

Another morning ripe for killing
Death's scythe carving pawns of war

Forth for vengeance, forth for hate
I am every slaughter reincarnate
Split second murder we're all fuel for the machine
Behind impassive eyes dead bodies wait to be released

No time for mercy
make this day another man's funeral
And let the napalm rain wash our sins away

Forth for vengeance, forth for hate
I am every slaughter reincarnate
Split second murder we're all fuel for the machine
Behind impassive eyes dead bodies wait to be released

Genocide has begun
Detonations digging mass-graves
Paralyzed, hammered down
as my body is blown

Into pieces

4. Spread The Plague

Born in captivity, rising from a whisper to a scream.
A force too strong to seal within, leaking through the wounds of man.
I saw it back when it was a fetus and yet my blood was ice.
I've seen it now as I gaze into the undrying well of our demise.
"So listen to the inner voice of lies"
Spread the plague
Walk among the tainted ones
Spread the plague
Bear the mark of a new world order
Spread the plague
Infected, corrupted, devoured

Hungerless and sleepless, moving faster than the light.
Over oceans, over cities, destroying bounds, infecting hearts.
I'll have to end this now, for I feel I'm not alone...

Brother killing brother as the virus feeds.
Fire drinking deep from mother earth.
And the day the first bombs fell, who would take the blame?
Connected by blood, severed by greed, we were all infected!

All that was torn to see the dawn of a new day has forever been smashed.
The shattered pieces of yesterday are but memories, ashes and dust.

Spread the plague
Walk among the tainted ones
Spread the plague
Bear the mark of a new world order
Spread the plague
Infected, corrupted, devoured

5. Where Carnage Reigns

Tattered tapestries woven by the hands of terror.
The texture of dread carved deep, nailed in.
Drifting in between unconsciousness and death.
Chain-connected hooks scraping at the bone.

Dread is the wood of which we build our caskets.
Passitivity where once adrenaline controlled.
A secret song at the center of the world.
the exquisite sound of razors through flesh.

The judgement bell chimes for death of superstition.
Inside this labyrinth of ameloriate pain.
The burning touch of Lament configuration.
Slave in the kingdom where carnage reigns.

Like a stream of poison through the veins of time.
Destined to return as the tide turns.
When the time is ripe you will wish that you had drowned.

It's coming, gnawing, ripping.
Flesh from bone, torn apart.
Welcome to where carnage reigns.
Step inside the hellbound heart.

The judgement bell chimes for death of superstition.
Inside this labyrinth of ameloriate pain.
Skin burning from the touch of Lament configuration.
Slave in the kingdom where carnage reigns.

6. Backdraft (Drowning In Fire)

Tattered tapestries woven by the hands of terror.
The texture of dread carved deep, nailed in.
Drifting in between unconsciousness and death.
Chain-connected hooks scraping at the bone.

Dread is the wood of which we build our caskets.
Passitivity where once adrenaline controlled.
A secret song at the center of the world.
the exquisite sound of razors through flesh.

The judgement bell chimes for death of superstition.
Inside this labyrinth of ameloriate pain.
The burning touch of Lament configuration.
Slave in the kingdom where carnage reigns.

Like a stream of poison through the veins of time.
Destined to return as the tide turns.
When the time is ripe you will wish that you had drowned.

It's coming, gnawing, ripping.
Flesh from bone, torn apart.
Welcome to where carnage reigns.
Step inside the hellbound heart.

The judgement bell chimes for death of superstition.
Inside this labyrinth of ameloriate pain.
Skin burning from the touch of Lament configuration.
Slave in the kingdom where carnage reigns.

7. Sheltered By Inferno

Falling from "grace", from the crumbling halls of the charlatan hordes.
Feathers burning to ashes as I sear my wings to quicken the fall.
Rising again from sulphur plains to your six feet under realm.
Grim and foul beneath my mask of insignificance.
Contempt contaminates all of my being.
Sheltered by chaos in a carcass world still breathing.
What defines the beast? The hunter or the hunted?
You've locked the cage and thrown the key
but you're standing on the wrong side of the bars.
Now suffer the pain of truth.

Blasphemy lucidity
Malignancy humanity
Brutishness our heritage
Cocytus our mother earth

Spare me of your obsolete words, do I preach for thee?
Ask of me no guidance for none was given me.

Reverence may still exist but only for the mindful few
who tame the beast and burn the cross of ever-enslaving grace!

8. Soulstorm

Reverence brought to an end, never again
shall we crawl in the shadow of death.
Signed in blood, the cycle is broken.
I will undo creation thus heaven and hell.

Reverence brought to an end, that end is yours.
By blood indeed our treaty is law.
The cycle is broken yet you fail to see.
Your future breeds a bleeding dawn.

Dawn shining light on her face, opening eyes
to the sun and the truth of his lies.
Hauled away from the plains of the fallen.
Severed from soul, firstborn dead.

Triumph has turned into grief, life into death.
See how your arrogance recoils.
Behold now your creation and punishment.
Hear the screams of their banished souls.

Time's running out of my hands,
the debt must be paid, the pact can't be broken.
My eternal suffering for their eternal rest.
Invocation of the soulstorm.

Stains of blood on the pages of humanity,
I am eternally damned.
Broken circles in the pattern of eternity,
I am damned eternally.

9. Heathen Divinity

The corroded society of hypocrites, where human weakness is refined.
Carnal behavior rules supreme yet the beast remains denied.
Dust to dust when will you crush the crumbling cross?
Wrap the rope tight and send them to their graves.

Wormtungue preachers, falsehood vows.
Lambs to slaughter, into your fold.

Another victim craved, raped by the light of Christ.
Another mind enslaved, another carcass for the flies.
Seems easy to escape the hell we live in every day.
Easy to be forgiven, by the grace of divine decay.

Your chain of faith grows weaker your minions fall prey.
To the punitory beasts of heathen divinity.

10. The Beyond

Nails driven into skin, acid scorching flesh.
Blinded by hate they preach: bury the evil beneath.
Sealed in an endless sleep, buried by time.
Veiled in darkness hell awaits their prey.

Woe be unto him who ventures near
the seventh gate to hell, the tomb of the damned.
Living dead will walk the earth as reality and horror blend.
Behold the gathering of the damned.

The gateway opens for my frozen eyes.
Forever cursed, to feed of flesh and gore.
Heed Eibon, see the prophecy unfold.
I'm drawn beyond the gates of hell in chains.
To the beyond (divine realms of pain).

Flee the hunt is on, the legions of hell
are drawing closer, there is no escape.
Trapped, in lifeless wasteland.
Forever caught in this domain,
caged forever within this frame!

The gathering of the damned!
The armies of hell will walk this earth!
The gathering of the damned!
I'm trapped within beyond!

11. Theme For The Dead

Foreshadow of the wicked,
uncanny beast of prey.
Bestowed with demonic virtue.
We watched you stray the path to hell.

Inside the sickened heart, terror dwells again.
The same old torture with just a different name.
The same old hunger begging to be quenched.
Another smite for vengeance, this is the theme for the dead!

Praise be the victims - fuel for his fire.
Praise be the blood - water for his barren realm.
The faces change but deep inside the mirage
echoes the ancient hymn of vengeance, the theme for the dead!

Inside the sickened heart, horror reigns again.
The same old carnage with just a different face.
The same old thirst begging to be quenched.
Another smite for vengeance, this is the theme for the dead!

12. Strangled By Life

Blessed are the blind for they do not see.
Blessed are the deaf for they cannot hear
the pestering cacophony or see the vermin crawl beneath the skin.

Strangled by life.
Smothered by the world.
Strangled by life.
I am infected with humanity.
Hatred.

I will not become another zombie wandering the streets of Sodom.
Rather dead and buried than a walking corpse.
Ten thousand days of torment ends now in a heartbeat.
Finally I'm falling into the bottomless pit.

Blissful are the dead hidden from the world.
Untroubled are the sleeping until they wake
to days of anguish, to open eyes in pain.
Despising time away, in a dying cage of flesh.

Strangled by life.
Smothered by the world
Strangled by life.
I am infected with humanity.
Buried.
