1. The Forest
The Forest
Into the woods upon the hour of midnight
Swaying silhouettes of an ancient forest
Beckon me with preternatural power
Led by a black figure on the path afar
Starlit night, somnabulistic dream
Following despite fears my sojourn seemed fit to deem
The rawness of misanthropy had seemingly sewn its seed
To what siditious rituals did this hooded figure lead?
The forest leads me far from the light
Into the shadows, into the night
Into the night!
Passing through groves where witches were born
Sensing past atrocities that left the heavens torn
Terror overwhelming in the dark and decay
But further still the robed figure led me away
Starlit night, somnabulistic dream
Following despite fears my sojourn seemed fit to deem
The rawness of misanthropy had seemingly sewn its seed
To what siditious rituals did this hooded figure lead?
Into the night!
2. Prophecies of Megiddo
Prophecies of Megiddo
Death, apocalyptic is his vision, suffering divine
Once foretold to those worthless and mortal mankind
Comes the progeny of Lord Hades
Centre of a heavenly divide
Immortal rage, a ruthless and storming black tide.
War centuries old
Not one of man
Crystallised hatred
Sorrowful damned
Legends of Megiddo
Prophecies fulfilled
The four draw close
With a darkening sky
And across the land
The cries begin
For this withered age
Dead justice
And sin...
Justice and sin.
3. Wicked Potion
Wicked Potion
This aint no joke, I'm going to make you choke
I'm going to make you try and fail.
You're already cursed, so why not quench your thirst
With a sip from this unholy grail.
It's like tasting pain, as I erode your brain
Your mind begins to swell.
Time is passing fast, and nothing seems to last
As I make your life a living hell.
Blood to brew my wicked potion
Hate to set its wheels in motion
Death to purge every notion
Of goodness in my soul.
I get my kick, from watching you get sick
It gives me warm feelings inside.
It used to confuse me, but now it amuses me
Watching you try to hide.
Do you wish i were gone? I'm like a ticking bomb
And whether you like it or not.
I'll be forever there, pretending that I care
Urging you to take another shot.
4. With Night Came its Vengeance
With Night Came its Vengeance
You hear its breath escape the shadows
Pray to God there's nothing there.
Imagination running wild, twisted dreams
A sick nightmare.
Close your eyes and flee the terror.
Tell yourself you'll be ok.
With all your strength you will the dawn.
The safety of the coming day.
Can you feel it? Its coming for you.
Can you feel it?
Death is crawling, it wont be long.
Hell is rising, dead by dawn.
The dead are walking, a mournful calling.
Shadows rising, dead by.. Dawn!
Haunted by its evil presence
No words describe your darkest fear.
The stench of blood is in the air
You sense that it is drawing near.
Give up hope and face what's coming
Face the shadows all alone.
No-one will hear your harrowed screaming
As your flesh is torn from bone.
5. Fallen
Fallen
Shall we transcend from this morbid reality?
Overshadowed by the fears of a realised mortality
Restore my innocence
Hear the scars left by crippling desire.
Walls are raised and severance complete
Only solitude my cries echo into the deep
Harrowing tortures tear at my mind
What have I lost?
What have I left behind?
What have I lost?
Reaching in vain yet cannot achieve
Searching for answers for that which I've lost
Praying for mercy, sorrow is granted
I am alone left only with bitterness
Cold, so cold the morbid fascination within
For that which I've lost, yet realised too late
Arise and show me the way back to the path
Alone and tormented with memories of the past
Walls are raised and severance complete
Only solitude my cries echo into the deep
Harrowing tortures tear at my mind
What have I lost?
What have I left behind?
What have I lost?
A litany of sorrow is sewn within my mind
What have i lost? What have i left behind?
6. The Sleeper Awakens...
There are no lyrics for this track.
This track serves as an introduction to "...The Curse of Our Kind"
7. ...The Curse of Our Kind
....The Curse of our Kind
Execrate the vicious lies
As this ocean of faces that I stand before
Control with the whim of rapturous cries
I realise this power veiled only a cage
My curse once a blessing now pestilence blooms
Entombed, now I'm buried imprisoned with fear
Waning memories of a withered age
Torment me with hatred, hidden primal rage
Torment me with hatred.
In hallowed halls of ancient kings
In the darkness of Immortality
The ocean of faces i stood before
Haunt me with silent laughter forever more
8. A Shadow Gathers
A Shadow Gathers
Silent blessings of power
Shadow life's worth thus far
Discord wrought in paradise
Futile existence of life
Darkness creeps from bloodshed
heaven raped and left dead
We are the ones who want
Eternal destruction
Shall we prolong
Disregard
For ourselves?
Whose existence
Is salubrious
Hear the cries
Of a mortal god
Who is blind
Blind through his ambitiousness
Desecrate their fucking souls
Fallen throne of mankind
Darkness is left behind
We are the ones who want
Eternal destruction
Attack!
9. This War
This War
Cannons are pounding the lines falling back.
Infantry's weary from heavy attack.
No tears in laughter there's no pain in joy.
Blood lusting vengeance the will to destroy.
This war brings no salvation
This war brings only death
This war brings no salvation
This war brings only death
Victims are dying. They're Prisoners of war.
Good men are fighting like they fought before.
Witness this madness you're dying alone.
Far from your loved ones
A long way from home.
Taking up arms in the name of the state.
Killing for orders not killing for hate.
Harrowing images. Death overhead.
Humanity stained with the blood of the dead.
Massing to counter the enemies moves.
Pounding of cannons. Thundering hooves.
Face now the terror as generals deploy.
No tears in laughter there's no pain in joy.
10. A Prayer to the Emptiness
A Prayer to the Emptiness
Crows dwindle in the setting sun.
Chains upon us are now undone.
Search the abyss to be as one.
My prayer, my will be done.
Stars reflect upon the lakes surface.
Hear my prayer end my service.
Ancient forest lies beyond.
Ancient darkness lies beyond.
Hear my prayer.
Blood red moon rising over blood red sky.
Upon the black mountain eternally i wander.
Drift into the majestic night. Without Pity Without compassion.
Memories of my ancient slavery. Dying upon a northern wind.
Condemned to gossamer webs.
A prayer to the emptiness.
11. Insanity's Memoirs
Insanity's Memoirs
Clairvoyancey granted in deaths swift release.
Realise my madness as I lay now at peace.
My destiny foretold by a sage and the stars.
Insanity's memoirs my tears and my scars.
Turn the pages read its writings
Morbid tales, growing fears
Each new chapter breeds delusion
Faded past of blood and tears.
Search for years and yet found not
Obsession had taken my mind.
Seeking truth finding lies.
Seeing and yet truly blind.
Stared into darkness as visions foretold.
The sage how he warned yet i dared to be bold.
Searching for answers i could never find.
Insanity's memoirs eternally blind.
Vultures sing victory to death
And the Darkness.
12. Micheál (Instrumental)
This is an Instrumental track dedicated to a friend of the band who sadly passed away.
