1. Nihil, Ex Nihilo Fit
I can speak words that cause buildings to fall
I see a tainted sky stealing a soul from us all
I perceive a dying captain of a filthy ship
I speak a curse down upon you fools
“There will be no peace for me
Until you have all been disposed of…”
There is a river
In which I place them
Those that fail
At the test I give them
I can speak words that create a chaos unchained
I see you question my eternal views of you
I perceive a perfection as old as time
I speak the ancient words – the undying curse to all
“There will be a time for celebration
Once all mankind has been destroyed”
There is a hound
That’s fueled by betrayal
Death to those who hear-
Nihil, ex nihilo fit.
2. Timeless
Who damned me to this fathomless Hell
This false reality which seems so real
A chaos of mind spawned from hate (I cannot tell)
Impure spirits chanting darkened words
The seductive demons that come from my soul
A deep hate for all mankind
Is the torture of reality
And my mind’s insanity
The bell tolls twelve but I am timeless
In a state of pain outside the hours of man
Their souls so weak
I gaze into
Their fearful face
I caress in anger
But have I conjured this torment
In which I now linger
But have I created these demons
Standing before me
Or shall I awaken tomorrow
Or will I never see the morning rise
The bell tolls twelve but I am timeless
In a state of pain outside the hours of man
3. The Old Oak
I walk unto the forest
This black land that haunts my dreams
The spirits call my name
The wind does forewarn me so it seems
Blackened sky above me
Putrid ground below me
The rain sweeps across my face
The wind that blows has a lack of grace
The time is now to face this demon of old
This abomination/grotesque fiend
Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions
The time is now to face this demon of old
I walk upon the roots
Of the grim old oak dead in front of me
I cast my life into its heart
And the gift of life has come to be
More than ever strong
Less than hell can’t hold me chained
More than ever brave
The demons come to be maimed
The time is now to face this demon of old
This Abomination/grotesque fiend
Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions
The time is now to face this demon of old
I see the hell fires awaken
The tree gross in blood
Black tar seeps from the roots
My boots soaked in gore
I breathe in the smell
Bleak like death
Smoke coming from its breath
As I trudge down its opened mouth
The time is now to face this demon of old
This Abomination/grotesque fiend
Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions
The time is now to face this demon of old
4. Dark Art
5. I am the Silence
Fathoms separate me
From any outside mass
This grim fog holds me here
I am now all alone
No telling how long it has been
Nor how shortly it will end
This uneasy quiet
Frightening and maddening
Stillness outside
No warmth from the fire
Surrounding chaos
And insanity taking hold
Shall I never be found
Less I die and rot upon the earth?
Will this lost prison
Be my final judgment?
Contacting the spirits
The ones who thirst for my soul
It was a dangerous game
In my pursuit of knowledge
Darkness comes in the blink of an eye
Madness takes its hold
As this wall begins to bleed
Seeping demon spawns
What are these tortured ones
Who walk towards me?
The look of horror in their fearful eyes
Petrifies me to my core
I turn sick to my stomach
As the demons puke up gore
The lights go out
Completely dark
Yet I hear the footsteps
Of twelve or more
Is this all real?
And silence falls.
6. Desolate Wastelands
Dead are things around me
These lifeless corpses on the ground
The trees hang empty
No wind to give them spirit
No hope dwells within these lands
The stale ancient air stings my lungs
Slain are my companions
In these desolate wastelands
Our will was strong in the battle
No mercy was given to our foes
The fight raged on for days
But now all life but mine has ended
No hope dwells within these lands
The stale ancient air stings my lungs
Slain are my companions
In these desolate wastelands
Arrows pierce through bodies
Heads severed from shoulders
Limbs scattered through the land
And this dark reality begins to fade
The crimson setting sun
Merges with the blood soaked ground
As the ancient tree of life
Thrusts me below the lights
7. Winter's Edge
The winter moon is on the horizon
A dim fire is glowing by my side
These mountains are unfamiliar
The path to destiny is far from over
Icicles are forming on my beard
My hands almost lost to nature
I fight on to live
And to see another day
Winter’s edge is clinging to my side
Foul beasts are all around me
My soul is not at rest
Here in these darkened woods
The nights are growing longer
The winds are getting colder
My sword is ready for blood
And my will ready for war
Winter’s edge is clinging to my side
Foul beasts are all around me
My soul is not at rest
Here in these darkened woods
Breathing-------------
All death around me
Living------------
To suffer within
Lowering----------
Myself to nothing
Accepting------------
My poisonous ways
8. Fires of the End
The sun of fire born in flesh
To destroy the people of earth
The call of hate burns inside
To show the weak of death
Massacre the berth of life
To claim the coming of war
And upon your skin I’ll carve
To prove to you domination
For now I am the keeper
To make you my soulless slaves
And the fire wyrm within
Will now take control for good
Welcome this coming hour
The moment of your doom
The words within the lines
Feed subconscious thoughts of death
Becoming the tyrant who rules the earth
Thoughts toward complete destruction
Awkward sense of reality sets in
And all order is drawn to chaos
I now stand proud on the mountainside
Beneath a vortex of fire, countless souls ablaze
Looking down upon the ruined earth of man
Ragnarok is here and we now face the earth
Is this insanity our curse?
Or does it show us our truth?
9. The Empty Soul
The dreaming of empty thoughts
Silence burst into the room
A hot chill in the air
All has stopped, frozen.
The absence of time was apparent
No sunset or sunrise
Nothing is ever meant to be
A fear of a darker day is coming.
I am painfully weak
A dark fire is burning inside
I gaze upon the endless landscape
All hope has left
Deep breath
Take it all in
Emptiness
Nothingness
Nothing is ever meant to be
