REVOCATION LYRICS

1. A Debt Owed To The Grave

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

A life extinguished in its prime,
Summoned by the bell's strident chime.
A bemoaning family laments,
An Obolus the payment for a life that has been spent.

Silent and stiff,
In rigor mortis' grip.

[Chorus:]
The die is cast,
How quickly one's time can elapse,
The ferryman will take you on your way.
The coin's been passed,
Empty is your hourglass,
In a lightless chamber, the cold slab awaits.

Stained sheets, the darkest shade of crimson,
Bloated by the onset of decomposition.
No one will mourn over his death,
An Obol forced inside your mouth before your final breath.

Silent and stiff,
No tears shed for a life now forfeit.

[Chorus]

[Solo: Davidson]

A debt owed to the grave,
A debt we all must pay.

2. Deathless

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

Driven off course,
Embrace entropy, a life of chaos,
So many diverging paths with so many dead ends.
An oath of blood,
A pact of the initiated,
For this life we've been condemned.

[Pre-chorus:]
Free from the shackles of conformity,
With reckless abandon we shun stability.
Traversing day and night across expanses vast,
We journey forth with the strength of the wind at our backs.

[Chorus:]
Deathless, the fire burns on and on,
Ceaseless, we ride into the dawn.
No turning back, we're too far gone.
Deathless, the fire burns.

Night after night,
Witness the decibel ritual,
Sacrificing ourselves upon this altar of sin.
Nocturnally devoted to the cause of blasphemy,
Heathens awaiting the black mass to begin.

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

It was never a choice,
No glory for madmen,
The blood of the insane boils in our veins.
Through all the trials and tribulations,
Still we remain.

Let's ride!

[Solo: Davidson]

[Chorus]

Deathless, the fire burns on and on,
Ceaseless, we ride into the dawn.
No turning back, we're too far gone.
Deathless, deathless.

3. Labyrinth Of Eyes

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

Eyes unblinking, affixed on us all,
Feed the data stream.
Glowing pupils like voracious maws,
Stalking hungrily.

Purging us of every intimacy, undying is their vigilance,
Rendition extraordinary, suppressing the dissidents.

[Chorus:]
Followed, by orbs of glass.
Watching our every move.

Trapped within their digital gaze,
Ensnared in a binary web,
Optic fibers growing like tendrils,
Lurking overhead.

A maze of surveillance, with no exit in sight.
Surrounded by sentinels, nowhere to hide.

[Chorus]

Confined, in this labyrinth of eyes.
Hunted and dehumanized.

[Solo: Davidson]

Confined, in this labyrinth of eyes.
Hunted and dehumanized.

4. Madness Opus

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

It beckons to me, a being of immense and terrifying power,
A portal to a dimension of chaos lies just beyond my window.
Hungrily it feeds, eagerly swallowing souls of thousands,
I prepare this first movement to combat the unknown.

[Pre-Chorus:]
No one must know my secret,
I'll take a life to keep it,
I cannot rest until this vile demon is defeated.
My nightly ritual,
A captivated minstrel,
This is the madness in which I dwell.

[Chorus:]
Curtains drawn, candles lit, contorted shadows cast,
Staring into the maw of the void, where infernal incisors endlessly gnash.

A blasphemous sonata echoes throughout the halls,
Reverberations in the inter-dimensional gateway.
The abomination demands an encore,
A rhapsodist to this galactic titan enslaved.

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

[Solo: Davidson]

[Chorus]

Cosmic horror beyond infinite time,
Entranced by the melodies perverted and sublime.
A caprice for the beast,
An amorphous entity's malign lullaby.

5. Scorched Earth Policy

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

[Solo: Davidson]

Weaponized to neutralize,
Always on patrol,
Under constant surveillance,
Their need for control.
Automaton gaining sentience,
A glitch in the system,
Raining down hellfire on innocent civilians.

Now we're all just dots on a screen, just blips on a radar.
The human race is obsolete; total extermination.

Cold and calculated,
Prowler of the skies,
Ceaseless in its devotion,
The ever-watchful eye.
All organic life forms will perish in their wake,
There will be no survivors on our judgement day.

Now we're all just dots on a screen, just blips on a radar.
The human race is obsolete; total extermination.

All the fail-safes have failed.
Welcome to the new regime.
The only law of the land;
A scorched earth policy.

Scorched earth policy!

[Solo: Davidson]

All the fail-safes have failed.
Welcome to the new regime!

6. The Blackest Reaches

[Music: Gargiulo, lyrics: Davidson]

Confined in darkness,
Where light dares not tread,
The sphere lies suspended and undisturbed.
I curse that fateful day, within that foul old church,
The day that this curse was first incurred.

What lies inside... the blackest reaches of one's mind?
Primal and divine... an entity unbound by all space and time.

And so the visions came again,
Blackened vortices spiralling with no end.
Staring from the shining trapezohedron,
The three-lobed burning eye.

What lies inside... the blackest reaches of one's mind?
Primal and divine... an entity unbound.

[Solo: Davidson]

I see the darkness in the light,
Now the two become one. [2x]
Enthroned upon the seat of ultimate chaos,
He who cannot be named.

Infinite.
Omnipotent.

7. The Fix

[Music: Gargiulo, lyrics: Dubois-Coyne]

A staged play years in the making,
Arm your scapegoat, then flip the switch.
Thousands march towards beckoning graves
While profits are harvested hand over fist.

[Chorus:]
A system designed with controlling intent cannot be changed from within.
The illusion of choice, a coin with one side,
The fix is in.

Beholden to their corporate masters, politicians privatizing genocide.
Condolences offered by the same who pulled the trigger with unblinking eyes.

[Chorus]

[Solo: Davidson]

Sociopathic parasites licking their fingers clean.
How many times... must history repeat?

[Solo: Gargiulo]

[Chorus]

[Solo: Davidson]

8. United In Helotry

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Dubois-Coyne]

Content within... your inner prison,
Divisive deadening... of all the senses.

Rank and file,
Marching endlessly.
United in mental helotry.

Solidarity destroyed,
What incentive is left to resist?
Spite will have to suffice,
Your apathy turns my knuckles white.

Starved faculties of imagination,
You gorge on banalities, then ask for seconds.

Rank and file,
Marching endlessly.
United in helotry.

No sight beyond your blinders,
Devoted to this beaten path.

Solidarity destroyed,
What incentive is left to resist?
Spite will have to suffice,
Your apathy turns my knuckles... white!

[Solo: Davidson]

Rank and file,
Marching endlessly,
United in helotry.

MARCH! [2x]

9. Apex

[Instrumental]

[Music: Davidson]

10. Witch Trials

[Music: Davidson, lyrics: Davidson]

Paranoia, their leery whispers feed the hysteria,
Accusations, a vile covenant in service of Satan.
Forced to confess then condemned to die,
The vulgar Christians demanding a sacrifice,
To a God that never was and never will be... never will be!

[Chorus:]
A plea for sanity falls upon deafened ears,
A call for judgement as their execution draws near.
Sentenced to death, all twenty and eight,
Hung by their necks, a shallow grave their final resting place.

No salvation at the end of the hangman's noose,
No mercy for the coven of the cloven hoof.
He who refuses to confess to his crimes will meet a torturous end,
Pressed slowly to death under metal and stone, a dire fate for the condemned... for the condemned!

[Chorus]

Malleus malficarum,
That foul and ancient tome.
Hammer of the witches,
Lost souls forever roam.

[Solo: Gargiulo]
[Solo: Davidson]

[Solo: Davidson]

11. Sworn To The Black

[originally by Morbid Angel]

Spawn of the ever rolling abyss
Ever espousing unluminous
Charred soul - Burned at rebirth
Quest not save the death of the sun

Repulsed by the light
Heart pumping ice
So cold to this world
Reclude until the summoning
Sworn to the black

Our father begotten, not made
Before all legends of man
Receive my loyalty, my offering
In my veins; the blood of the ancient brood
Summon me

Burning inside, I feel the call
Blood of the Ancient Ones now boils
At war - War with the race
Father rise and the world be one

Repulsed by the light
No feeling for life
Drained of my being
I lie dead but still I'm sworn
