Adversary Incarnate
05:50
|
|||
Torn between honor and avarice -
To stand shoulder to shoulder,
Or seize your chance
For your thirty pieces of silver?
As a pack you flay your kinsman
For apostasy
But your ascension is not what you thought
You are not a lion
You are a coward
My brother, my friend, now adversary incarnate
will you survive the bitter hour yet to come?
This empty icon carries us to the mouth of the Lethe
And bids us drink - drink deep
After the endless screaming, the silence is like coming home

Craven

In a courtyard of charnel stone
Through the doors of blackened iron
A soiled hourglass sits in a ruined sepulcher
As you stare past me with blinded eyes
Deaf to the echoes of your footsteps
As you smash the glass on the ichor rock
Now you; who chose this bitter cup
And you; who would drink deep
From Narcissus' pool
Crawl into the yawning grave
That awaits
And on your tombstone I shall inscribe:
"Here lies the tyrant, that thought only of themselves"

The Genesis of Interitus
06:06
|
|||
As you howled and railed into the void
And screamed into the coming night
So bright, so proud
We armed ourselves
And descended into the pit
To gaze into the abyss
Besieged by horrors on all sides
But with victory in our hearts
And unassailable righteousness at our backs
Overwhelmed by the pale cacophony
You lost sight of the majesty
And gouged out your once beautiful eyes
So, with sorrow
I left you brother
To your jagged throne, built of blood and shadow
Save yourself from hell

Scion of Madness
06:16
|
|||
Oh bringer of ruin; scion of madness
Self-righteous avatar of failure
Eidolon of the grave, and apotheosis of arrogance
Your eyes will see the end
Of your facile hegemony
Visions of the future, torn
From the distended maw of the past
Will you sneer then?
Your malice isn't novel;
Your great revelation is anything but
There will be no reconciliation
Visions of the future, torn
From the distended maw of the past
I wonder if you'll sneer then
When you seek a brief respite
From tenebrous oblivion
I hope that it is my sneering face
That you see
And, so it is my honest prayer
My fervent wish
That you see your heart's desire
Made manifest
