NECRONAUTICAL LYRICS

1. Pure Moon

Luminous spectre
unveiled in nocturnal lustre
Refuse the lights
Reclaim the throne of might
All now succumb to darkness
Beneath your erupt reflections
Pale memories refracted
Through the storming winter's tide

Celestial
Astral sentinel
Almighty observer
So cold and austere
Revelations in the gloom of luna sphere
Dark veil of night embrace me
Reveal your infinite extent
Obscure the fires of antiquity
All thirteen aeons in your wake

O watcher above
The waters below
Obscure my divinations
And through me shall your wisdom over flow

I, Lord of the undeath
Iconoclast of the celestial descent
Reach out through the cosmic domain
Sub astral laws shall not confine me
The lunar energies align
Noctilcent rays of despair
Like frozen daggers through the exosphere
Smile down upon the waning world
Withering eternally beneath us
Pure majesty in stagnant time.

Diabolical moon-time ritual
Stalling the heavens in galactic suspense
To cast its shadow upon the firmament
All now succumb to darkness
Consumed by lamentation
Pale memories diminishing
As all endure this endless night

2. Nihilartikel

Tabular
Always searching through the detail
In the survey of the sentry no one fine could be too trivial to miss as this
All the abstracts, all the features
We commit to memory with the reference of sins
Authenticating the exception proves the rule
It's all symbolic as the map becomes our own

This land is bleeding it's borders imposed
Our claim to your unknown
Propagating the ways of our own world to form a throne
Tabula rasa!
Terra incognita ex humanitas
To know the way but never show the path

Hive and swine
Post-apocalyptic
Beholders and obscurers lost in something so empirical as our abyss
Temptation had assigned our legend unto this perversion of the sacred tangible
Authenticating the exception proves the rule
It's all symbolic as the map becomes our own
This land is bleeding it's borders imposed
Our claim to your unknown
Propagating the ways of our own world to form a throne
Tabula rasa!
Terra incognita ex humanitas
To know the way but never show the path

A plot to grit the mind
The only axiom comes from inside...

No mourning star
To guide our descent
No carthen form –
No milestones in death
You can never doubt me for I am your world
Alone and lost –
I am your eyes

Where our art meets science it's humanity that falls
From the shoulders of Atlas
Trapped behind our walls
Every vision and revision marks your place in hell
Where nothing matters but the matter
Nihilartikel

This land is bleeding it's borders imposed
Our claim to your unknown
Propagating the ways of our own world...

3. Spitzenkörper

The searching strands of matter
Bound by collective thought
Driven to feed and prosper
And nothing more
Wasting not
And wanting all
The bioremediator heeds our call
Destined to rot forever
Upon the forest floor
This is the end of being
And nothing more
Woe is me,
This death of trees
Their assimilation and re-integration
Into the beast

Discerning the root of all evil inside of us now
Below as above
Cruel vengeance arise from the ground
Usurper of soil
Grey ovum of the realm below
Ascend as a shroud
To conquer and grow

Malignant source of energy
Buried in the cradle folds
A rampant malice underneath
The silent labyrinths of earth so cold
All must behold
As this abomination takes hold
Born of the earth
Yet nurtured as a son
Black spore of forever
We are as one

Discerning the root of all evil inside of us now
Below as above
Cruel vengeance arise from the ground
Usurper of soil
Grey ovum of the realm below
Ascend as a shroud
To conquer and grow

Defining the rift in the fabric of being
All in decay intangible shadow
Dormant in silence
A world to betray

4. Oceanus Procellarum

Long before the peace of tyranny
There was a legend from the age of myth
Then I was a worthy enemy
Not this wretched husk of regolith
A cast off in his shadow

Even then consumed by jealousy
I sought to rob him of his pride
The wealth of self-assurance sickened me and I pledged to see his name decried
I, Apothyon, live to challenge thee!

His countenance flared wild,
The arrogance of my decree
I come to storm your solace
I am the wind of progress
He laughed and feigned disinterest
Thus began my annals of decline

The shame of my defeat
Was cast across my face
A testament to change
Reveal the means to our final outcome
With scars written in stone
Oceanus procellarum

My well of hatred carried me
And brought our bodies close enough for blows
Fueled by interstellar animosity
The balance ruptured and the orbit closed
Our atmospheres ignited

My wrath had reached escape velocity
But felt upon him like a sickly child
My every effort was futile
Deflected by its greater forces
His retaliation shook my all
Stripped bare to the core
Pieces of me were scattered away
Into the furthest reaches of the night...

The giant impact the beckoning end
To lift the veil for evermore...
And in the flash was knowledge
All life is meteoric
Worlds fail and break their promise
I challenged death and was renewed

The shame of my defeat
Was cast across my face
A testament to change
Reveal the means to our final outcome
With scars written in stone
Oceanus procellarum

Wounds coalescent transcribed the reform
From mark of the vanguished
To heart of the storm
I took it upon me
I made it my own
I have written your end in the stars
So let it be known
These billows of anguish
I brought forth to obscure
The remnants of your pitiful works
For all shall be pure in the final eclipse...

5. Strom

Before the gateway
An eerie calm
Unbroken silence
Herald of storms
A dormant force is awakening
In the shadows beyond
To forge a new equilibrium
Through primal chaos reformed

Shine a star
That brings no light
Search the earth
Split the skies
Smite them down
With deathly strikes
Part the seas
Know thy might

O lord of storms
Messianic augury
Of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Guide me now to deliverance
Through perilous rites of contempt
This elemental labyrinth of death

Harbinger of oblivion
Divinity incarnate
Malevolent will of nature
Lead me to my fate

Reign forever
In frozen time
Purge all weakness
Ageless heathen deity

O seas of storm...!

Beyond the gateway to eternity
Chaotic bliss I break
The silence I ride the storm
I have become the pandemonium
The nameless malice beyond
The ancient voice
Of the raging wind
In primal chaos reborn

Shine a star
That brings no light
Search the earth
Split the skies
Smite them down
With deathly strikes
Part the seas
Know thy might

O lord of storms
Messianic augury
Of a new disorder
Whose flag unfurled
Guide me now to deliverance
Through perilous rites of contempt
This elemental labyrinth of death

6. The Endurance at Night

Utmost deception
A faulty copy
Buried in the silence
Of the sea
No roots to clutch nor branches grow
Out of this wasteland
Unreal country cast with blur fog
My mental island is beset by sterile thunder
Bleak rattle from afar –
Force me down

The mind is fragile –
The flesh is broken
Yet still we cope with mind and flesh
So fucking weak
The will is dwindled
The words unspoken
That to survive you only need
To breath and eat

Cold came here to breed
In amongst us
Alone and frail – now and forever
Real aurora of the evening
The dark he comforts
Blotting out the greater terrors leaving the lesser
These I'll handle, these I'll punish
They deign to take me –
I weathered worse

By endurance we conquer!
By endurance we conquer!
By endurance we conquer!

The mind is fragile –
The flesh is broken
Yet still we cope with mind and flesh
So fucking weak
The will is dwindled
The words unspoken
That to survive you only need
To breath and eat...

Despite all senses,
Besieged by ice
I shall endure –
I was transformed
As were we all
Yet I endure for I have heard survivals call

By endurance we conquer!
By endurance we conquer!
By endurance we conquer!

Haunted by memories
Buried in the maelstrom

Old conflict between the crewmen
Solved on a knife's edge
Just remember I implored them
Why we all came here
No burden for you to carry
You are your master
The ice unfeeling
But forgiving of your life before I came here for isolation
The daily struggle
Long hours of relentless darkness
Safe return doubtful
Reassurance of the unknown
Restoring power
The endurance is a journey
It is the purpose of it all

7. Theia

She spoke to us
No longer as sons
The petulance of our youth
Had long since eroded away
But still she embraced us
Locked in her crystalline breast
Despite billions of years
All in the making of men

Now as an agent of change
In a stagnant existence
I forge my own path
Away from that foxed contentment
In great meandering loops
Across all that was known
Building momentum forwards I breached the veil
I could taste the edge of everything
The undiscovered country lay before me
Yielding open
Yet inexorably I was drawn back

The impression of those hands on mine
Still as fresh then
As all that I chose to block
And then all was made clear to me
With savage revelation
Still trapped in those designs
Was the release I sought
To own my future I had to punish my past

I pissed my name
Into your ashes
And all your work
Has been undone
What you began,
I have completed
I burned our home
Though all I'll ever be is you

I am the master of my own destiny
But all I'll ever be is you
I am the master of my own fate
But all I'll ever be is you
Theia......
