No sleep, no dreams, no making mankinds peace
The furies for company and the rejection of that infinity
Abomination of my clay brothers...
We are the mud and filth of this earth
Of what we can and would become
This likeness is all we are
Artist of my clay spirit
I am the reclaimed fallen son
Of what we can or would die to see:
I fire in the hearts of men
In blackest day of generations
My end is to end as the dead
We dead promethean sons
End of the dead
"Titans, Behold your God!"
Bow before the potter's Son
My end is to end as the dead
Promethean child!
"Titans, behold your God!"
He canst become no clearer
God of all, star-inwoven
He hast love beyond
Reaper!
"Champion of heaven's slaves"
Oblivion Son
We canst grieve no more...
Io! Barest of love
Oblivion soul
We canst bear no more...

This King Never Smiles
03:34
|

Live long the curse of Midas.
Be warned of greed and golden pastures.
For years, I've often sat and pondered "What more should I obtain"
"What else is left to conquer?"
Power, yes everlasting power
Obtained by wealth and gold
A force that I can touch and hold
Ignorance and avarice Hand in hand as one
Servant, bring my plate, I have a hunger
For I cannot live on my riches alone
Servant, night is close, where is my daughter?
What do you mean she's on the lawn?
Call her name, bring her to me.
What do you mean she's stiff and cold?
My own blood now a trophy?
My Dionysis, I've paid your price in full.
My kingdom lies in ruins from their king,
From my own hand my kingdom lies in ruins
I realize now my life's importance
I realize now my lesson learned
Each step I take toward golden fortune
That's one more foot in the ground
Please lift this curse from my head
Please lift this curse from my hands
Just let me wash my hands of this

Another night brings uncertain hunger
And one more moon might satisfy that
My eyes were meant to sift through shadows
With razor teeth I ache and wait for the hunt
My eyes were meant to sift through shadows
The taste of blood sits well on the tip of my tongue
Who's the unlucky mortal whom fate has forgotten?
Around this town, my dear, the hunt is the law
And now you answer to my jaw
What mindless cattle left their behind to come find mine?
For years we've fed by the moon,
Haunting, awaiting the nightfall
We'll allow you days but after dark we claim these woods
Beware the moon!
And I'll lead these wolves, straight through the fire
Right through the belly of hell
And I'll lead these wolves, straight through the fire
Right through the belly of hell itself
Straight through the fire, straight through the belly of hell, straight through the fire
And I'll lead these wolves, straight through the fire
Right through the belly of hell
And I'll lead these wolves, straight through the fire
Right through the belly of hell itself
We are the wolves
We are the hunger
But beware the moon, we are the night
We are the wolves
We are the hunger
But beware the moon, the hunt is law

Twin Heads Of Vengeance
05:53

The Twin Heads: "Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes
Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight
My light shineth the way
Forward through ash and fod and fear
It is flaming madness I see... in all whom I command
Set flame to a million empirical states
That will not bare my faces
I am at peace with the madness of my race
Two beaks tear at a thousand nation's eyes
Wings beat upon the ears of all who dare to fight..."
Warriors: "Beholdeth what we cannot see
God of gods!
Law by nature, by will alone
Infinite Titanic Immortal
Oh! Faceless might
Grant us the sight
Through the ash and flame
The hymns of chaos rise!"
The Poet: Warring iron gods
And madness' undying flame
Carmen ex ignis
Cantus ex metus

We Soulless Men
05:38
|

The continuum I behold, such is my inner want
Not that I should bold above that which is not around me
The art of soul is now meaningless
As I behold my total lack of self
Lo! Demeter
Behold the eart
Above and below
Thou makest believe
Uncreated!
Above the sphere
Rebellious globe
Thou makes us believe
Why, oh why, are we left?
To be sin in such perfect a place
The desolate mind is so perfectly spoiled
In the eyes of a raptures snake
Eyes of a raptures snake
Hear me speak, brothers of the earth
My words that shattered like clay
So I speak as if thou were a child
Lest fire besiegeth thy hearts
Beckon forth! The soulless mankind
Standing in ranks of thousands still more
But this fate is what I have always feared for we soulless men
We soulless men

Io!
Shafts of plague and pythoness gift
The blackness of Bast hast cometh unto us
Heiracosphinx! Slain
By judgment's flaming sword
Canst thou see the blood of the Nile?
Io!
Of all blights! 'tis our sorry lot
To suffer black, night, and boils
Theban courage and Memphian lust
Thou darest stain with blood
Lo! The torment of the snake
Scythian blades---jackal's fleet
Hail! The conquest of...
The Uncreated one
Open the book of Adapa
And behold the coming of plagues
Morbid philosopher
Behind the curtain of lies
Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave! Avenger
Ave! Thou art greatest of fifty - Ave! leviathan

De natura ex intime dissolutio
I am, thefore I burn!
Mysta ex omnis uxorious
Alles soll stehen verwirren
Ars ex liber, ex anima
The descending lion throne
Cogito, ergo summitissum
Alles soll stehen grell
Metaphysics and decomposition
Erase and total control
Wait no, nor give in to fear
Submerion in violence
"Warstrength shall collide with warstrength"
Tartarian essen and raptures snake
"For all the immortals," Thraxus immolator!
Havoc!
