The Invocation
02:44

think of me tonight
when my eyes have lost their sight
and the winds no longer blow
and the rivers stop their flow
think of me tonight
when the sun has killed its light
and the moon no longer shines
when all reason’s left behind
think of me tonight
when all wrong’s considered right
and the depths of our remains
have come back to take our names
think of me tonight
when your heart is filled with spite
and the pain is much too great
and your vengeance cannot wait.

I am not afraid, and that's what scares me most.
I regret none of the black days, for they gave me strength.
Who I am is how you shaped me from the silt I was.
And, when you scream? I have reason to breathe.

My dark heart is made of ice.
Your warm hand freezes on touch.
My spirit flies. The winter is my home.
The days end soon. The night will reign.
As the snow falls, my words are made stone.
Your breath hits the air. I steal all your heat.
What strength you lose becomes all mine.
How unfair! you think. These are my laws.
I have no belief. My goddess is the wind.
The wind that cuts your skin, the stasis that confines.
I will live forever. You’re here for a time.
Even in decay, I forever thrive.
How mournful you feel. This is my home.
The home of discontent. The siren’s threnody.
Every day you wake moves closer to the end.
While you may rest assured, I’ll be here eternally.

So, i will not hurt you.
Fall down on my knees to praise you
and the light that forms in your eyes.

and the lies
04:42
|
|||
voiceless and helpless.
It’s all your fault.
Weakened and pacified.
It’s all your fault.
Indifferent and useless.
It’s all your fault.
Burning in uncertainty,
it’s all your fault.
|

we came in here without resistance in days
we’ll open fire if we don’t get our way
we’ll send down death like it was some kind of rain
we’ll make all generations suffer in pain

Angel of Black Desire
02:58
|

angel of black desire
caress me with your burning wings
char my skin with your fire
kiss me with your forked tongue
the air is liquid hatred
but my heart does not fade its light
know that it beats only for you
you can stab it when you grow tired
my lungs burst in decompression
and i breathe flames of lust
i growl your name in low tones
as the world shudders and gasps
angel of black desire,
i chant your name in ecstasy
as the blood escapes my willing throat
and my sacrifice brings you power

We are animals.
We kill to survive.
This will never end.
We are animals.
My knife and my jaw
are my tools to thrive.
We are animals.
The carcass in the fire,
the blood is the wine.
We are animals.
my way of life
is to kill to survive.
TO KILL TO SURVIVE.

i want you. I know my kind is loathesome, and i know all things around you are things to detest.
I’m silent. I want so much to tell you that I am always waiting there by your side.
I need you. My yearning is volcanic, i erupt in sudden bursts and i scream your name in vain.
But you are... so very far away from me. How can I bring my passion, to lay there by your feet?

Accept Death
04:00
|
|||
money is more important
than you will ever be
you may collapse in your workplace
while executives sing
_AND YOU WILL ACCEPT DEATH.
_FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CASH FLOW.
_THE ENGINE OF ALL ECONOMY
_IS FUELED WITH YOUR BLOOD.
work one two or six jobs,
it hardly even matters,
your earnings belong to us
while shareholders sing
_AND YOU WILL ACCEPT DEATH.
_FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CASH FLOW.
_THE ENGINE OF ALL ECONOMY
_IS FUELED WITH YOUR BLOOD.
and after they bury you
your children will then learn
they are now apart of the cycle
while politicians sing
_AND YOU WILL ACCEPT DEATH.
_FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CASH FLOW.
_THE ENGINE OF ALL ECONOMY
_IS FUELED WITH YOUR BLOOD.

i'm not the son of anyone
i was made from the state of trauma
a physical manifestation
of horror turned into flesh
as i tread around the world
leaving marks upon each ground
i contaminate emotions so frail
and break the bonds that everyone set
so unfraid of consequence
because i'm the result of them
the catalyst, the variable
i am here to change the state
do you know why i exist?
it's to pull you into hell screaming all the way down
i am not the devil nor a fallen angel
i am just destiny's true hand
don't dare to pray, god's not in heaven
it's here with me in my soul
given full licence to corrupt
agelessly drifting across the land
i'll let you have one light of hope
i am not here to kill anything
i'm here to remind humanity
you are always suffering

where you live, where you work, where you pray, where you shop
where you wanted to be. where you needed to be.

since i said it's okay
it's now okay
execute anyone
anywhere
anytime
for any reason at all
the floodgates are now opened
