1. Intro
2. To Perish the Screams
3. Consecration of Fools
Oblivious to the life still yet to come,
now join the dead - purgatory's begun.
Denial of the physical life you've left behind,
the pains and pleasures of hell you soon will find.
Consecration of fools believing legends of past;
reality comes trapped in plains so vast.
Suffering souls scream in severe agony,
the holy ghost still lives within these fools!
This god which has so quickly forsaken you
with blatant lies - (you) ignore the truth.
A leader for incompetence is their need,
this "holy religion" which is in reality greed!
4. Suffering Within
5. Chained Are Their Souls
6. Entombed by Belief
Human mind's capacity - obstructed by belief - dwell in mortality's plain, the tomb the mind creates.
I have the strength to break away;
darkness engulfs my soul.
Search from inside to obtain the answer -
mind denying words -
which forbids me to roam free
in the plains of my mind.
Embodied soul, rise from beneath
through thoughts without words,
bounded not by belief.
Writhe in their weakness!
Little do they know
relative are the mind and the soul.
7. Abstractions
Recollect what's yet to see -
the demise of a feeble being;
frigid air of a dying soul
rot away the memories
which will follow you to your grave,
to your fears - enslaved,
taste the pain in which you crave.
Weave the tales of a time before;
past reality - no more.
Gripping fear induced by horror.
Through the winds of contorted souls,
in the face of the hands that hold
to the god who controls the sea,
boiling the blood of a thousand tombs.
Peel the skin from the face of your destiny,
a swirling path of sin & perversity;
claws of fate gouging reality
mortal remains now encased by infinity
Rise - shadows contained by fear;
Falling - to a surreal demise.
8. Catacombs of the Terror Beyond
9. Dismal
Entrapped - nothingness engulfs my very soul.
Restrained - to feel the pain and the torture agony beholds!
Thoughtless - no compassion for existing man's futile realm.
Final quest - through subconscious mind a lair lies for my soul to...
...dwell!
Aura burns my mind!
Quest for my soul!
Strive to break the gates -
the flames now burn within.
Reaching to the depths of my soul -
dormant, constant search for destiny.
Thirsting - through rebirth I become god!
In sight, I see the throne awaiting -
behind my vague and distant eyes -
the pain of being trapped a mortal!
Hunger - my jaws await the power.
Suffer - the tortures which await.
Stranded, imprisoned soul escapes!
