1. The End Of This Incarnation
Wonder why
You will die
Feel so high
Reach the sky
You shall die
So shall I
You won't cry
Nor shall I
Nothing left to live for
No reason to hide
I am leaving this world
Escape into the void
Cold and distant body
My next vehicle awaits me
Beyond the stars I go
The end of this incarnation
2. The Clouds That Grieve
The clouds that grieve
In mourning for mankind
Overcast skies hide their eyes
As the rain showers the plains
The sky's tears dance in the fields
The willow weeps in the autumn breeze
Monumental In Its Sorrow
Captive of the treachery of our race
We are a warlike species
Barbaric and brutal
And we ever shall be
The honour of ancient warriors
A relic of past dignity
Death for honour is no more
Blissful misanthropy
The raping of the earth which harbours us
Bite the hand that feeds
There is no simplicity
The wretch we call christianity
A plague feeding off the weak masses
We shall perish in the name
Of an idolized insolent myth
Rain clouds gather o'er the horizon
Blocking out the sun
Thunder signals the onset of mourning
Lightning lights up our eyes
3. Thunderstorms Ease Me
Tear my heart from my chest
Thunderstorms ease me
Heartless and pagan
The spirits of nature
...swirl like...
...a bonfire smoke...
...into my essence....
The sound of the rain
Resonates across the fields
The winds build and the water ripples
The birds take cover
The trees outstretch their arms over me
To embrace me in their shelter
The wood breathes on the fire
The thunder cannot bury the flame
With sword and stone I've permeated
through the ages
...A long dead warrior
...A shaman
...A philosopher
...A warlock
...memories unlock
As I aboard new realms of experience
The pagan heart swells within
Fill my chakras with strength
The death of a youthful innocence
Change drifts into me
Like the dying autumn's leaves
Bird's eye view of the vast forest
I see in the fog through blind eyes
Guiding myself upon my stone pathway
My staff carries the weight of my wonder
4. Bat Horde
The decay of light
Brings us delight
We come out at night
Together we unite
Strong in our union
Night sky invasion
Nocturnal and pure
The moon our only lure
Bat Horde Bat Horde
The forest is our home
We want to be left alone
Bat Horde Bat Horde
We live for the dark and the cold
In trees and caves we make our home
Humans fear our bite
Night after night....we return
Strong in our union
Night sky invasion
Bat Horde
5. Suicide Pact
Joined together in pact
Signed it in our blood
Soon the time will come
Fulfill the obsession
Life is so pointless
What's left in it for me
I'm so full of hatred
And suicidal misanthropy
Rope, razor or pills
We control our demise
Exiting this world
Life fades from our eyes
Tie the knot the noose is wrought
What I seek for has been sought
As I hang waiting to die
I shall look up to the sky
Overlook the Genesee
As my life fades out of me
Hanging from a bridge
I'll be free
With the razor in my hand
I'll travel to a distant land
Slice my wrists, cut them deep
Watch the blood begin to seep
I relax and close my eyes
Feel my body paralyze
Eventually everybody dies
I place the pills into my mouth
The more I take the quicker I'm out
Fall into eternal sleep
Joined in pact that we shall keep
We control our time of death
The honour of ending our own breath
We remain in control
Onto the next voyage of our soul
Bravery.....Endlessly
Eternity.....Ever shall be
Fuck this world, I don't care
I don't belong here
The time will come, as been planned
It is coming nearer
6. Dead To The World
No one cares, no one knows
Which fuckin' way the spirit goes
Insatiable appetite
Hate the day, love the night
I am dead to the world
Sacred scrolls are unfurled
I will search and find the key
To unlock these mysteries
7. The Death Of All That Is Beautiful
Gone is pleasure
Corrupted leisure
Polluted planet
Force of habit
Me eyes have grown cold
No one left to hold
Passion is relinquished
All color is extinguished
They destroy and copulate
They dream of love but conjure hate
Conqueror of land and animal
The death of all that is beautiful
We are rotting as we breathe
The casket is the only reprieve
Emotional wastelands
Are all that remain here
Desolate vastland
Her cold corpse kept near
(guest guitar solo: Fornicus)
8. Tearstained Nightsky
Snowfall
Ceases at dusk
Black night sky
Stars shine
oh.....oh.....
Lunar energy
Cascades down upon me
The night is alive
Cold as ice
(solo)
