Swarms
02:26
|

|
In the terror and rot together
We break
Under Death's blow
We shatter and break
In the scenes of endless hearses
This grave you know
Begets violence
In blood and fear
You drop to your knees
Knowing there's no one left to save
I hear their sermons of murder
As they pray for peace
Hollow words that breed defeat
On hallowed ground
The dead they swarm in hordes
...and with them darkness reigns
Don't hide
Don't cower
Just face
Your end
There's no one left to save here
The dead will swarm in hordes
And with them, darkness reigns

Desperate streets
Muddied with the bones of children
Crushed by gold-laced tyrants
Dancing on their graves
There's blood on their hands
of the souls that they enslaved
The mass of sunken faces
Lie incarcerated
Their spectacle drowns the dead
They parade their arrogance
And in a nation of gold
We gild our despair
as the truth fades away
Entombed, we craven dead
Cast away, our dream dispersed
Our pleasure pre-determined
In garrotted houses we decay
Our detachment manufactured
There's no escape
In the darkest of nights
The cold couldn't cut through
our seeping hate for each other
Awake to the blistering sun
Wherein we burn and fade
Yet our ghosts still crave for death
Entombed, we craven dead

Nihilus

Lifeless steps marching on
As blind cheers scream for new graves
In the endless blaze
Our souls burn hot
Where they build our pyres,
stoked with rot
The flames they burn
to illuminate our hate and wretch
The flames beg our erasures
Feel the fire
Fear the hunt
Mothers weep at the burns of falling embers
As fragile hands turn to ash
I hear your screams in silicone tombs
Don't weep through your sweet bludgeoned eyes
Just keep one open for the reaper
Sleeping masters come to life
To reap the oozing death of love
Can you hear their cries?
Don't turn away
And face their pain
Lifeless is the suffering
Eternal is the fear
To hear the sound of cracking bone
As we all rest in terror
With nowhere left to beg
Rest in terror

From hell, you rise
From the ashes, bruised and charred
You rise to cleanse the earth
Absolution coats the blade
Where none escape your hate
All rise to our violent monarch
As you fall before the throne
And kneel before her
and her righteous retribution
Forget the deeds of blackened hearts
and craven souls
My lady, in your dark embrace
Our avarice erased
Come the dawn, we cease to walk the earth
In the darkness you appear
Pray for me to wrench my soul from the ash
In the chaos you draw near
I hear your whispers
I feel your breath
We dance upon their graves to summon you
Blood-drenched mother of the earth
Cleanse us, cleanse us, cleanse us
Absolve, repent, rejoice
Decimate every last trace
Vile, decrepit man
Sleep in your grave
Sleep in your grave
Sleep in your grave

Silent Hell

|
There you sit on your throne
Their shrieks left you deaf
I will light the torch with their bones
To show you the way
To their endless graves
Witness a gutted earth
Covered in entrails
Don't speak a goddamn word
Look into their eyes
At the terror you wrought for progress
Gaze into the horror
of our banal existence
Laid fucking bare
Feel endless tremors
The choir song of despair
The earth cracks beneath the enslaved
On the endless horizon
You can see our barren fields
of our worthless sacrifice
The harvest of a pointless existence
Feel the tremors
of man's decay
Bear witness, the worthless sacrifice
The nameless dead will rise
in the pointless end of man
Bear witness, the worthless sacrifice
The nameless dead
will hide the scourge of man

I hear Death's whispers in these streets
Where bloodied sheets snuff the light from windows
Absent are the bells
But Hell knows the silent
Eyes wander as you crawl inch by inch
None blink at your suffering
The distance is never ending
Mother, why do we suffer still?
Father, where do your feet scratch the floor?
What is a home where only hate creeps?
What is a home, where it creeps like mould?
Absent are the bells
But Hell knows the silent
When you finally collapse
Will you feel their breath on your skin?
Bound for the imminent
Death marches in a dying world
As they approach
Exhale your decay to sate despair

This life
This endless suffering
In these deep black waters
Beneath the swell, we drown
And as I surface, I long to die upon the shore
Besides your corpse in immortal guilt
Please let mine lie still
Let my soul contort in shame
to the absence of your breath
Let my name wash away
before my flesh decays
To the depths
To the abyss
May death be my penance
Further I descend
In this life of endless suffering
Hear the waves crash against the earth
While the sky bleeds fading light
Let my body break in the endless swell
Before your lifeless eyes ever meet mine
The blackened day
It calls to me
Don't fear the rapture
That waits in the depths
Let the light die
Let the world fade away
Let the air burn black
In our final breath
May the earth drown in ash in our final day
Let the grey fill your lungs
Beneath bellowing clouds
Under the rubble of our violent decay
There will be no hands to the sky
Fall to your knees and pray to the seas of death
Wash away, wash away our sins
sea of the dead
