As my plight now unfolds upon wretched,
I've casted out all opposing my will.
Clench the throats of the youth
Turned pureness to filth.
Spewing blood from an ominous grin.
Wake the tremors!
Make them crumble the world around us
As I gaze from my throne of your ashes.
The skies will tremble and cease.
Tragedies, tremendous and grave!
So few left, remaining enslaved!
Slaughtered and slain
All felt death's pain
With their final embrace of the end.
Feast on flesh as the famine now spreads.
Vanquish what's left of all that is pure.
Hand them nothing, give them suffering,
As they lament in a pit of despair.
Behold the numerous horrors, beheadings harrowing.
As the final exempt now displayed.
Yet a king has rule
and his crown as his tool
Spreading fear, and dark might through his realm.
Wake the tremors!
Make them crumble the world around us
As I gaze from my throne of your ashes.
The skies will tremble and cease
The howls and shrieks
They all turn to screams.
The madness it echoes for eternity
The grounds tarnished red
With the blood that's been shed
Forgotten the dawn as the sun rises red.
As the sun rises red!
Clenched the throats of the youth
Turning pureness to filth
Spewing blood from an ominous grin.
With their final embrace of the end
Tragedies tremendous and grave
So few left, remaining enslaved!
Slaughtered and slain
All felt death's pain
With their final embrace of the end.
Feast on flesh as the famine now spreads.
Vanquish what's left of all that is pure.
Hand them nothing, give them suffering,
As they lament in a pit of despair.

With wickedness at hand
A grasp of solidarity
This vile spewing out
Spilling into all kinds of decay
Rake the cold lands of bones from the weak
A wisp of foolishness
And of possible peace
There's no God no life
Bear no taste of love
Beware of death's glare
Delivering despair
Clutching you last air
Enticing yet I see only compromising
Horrendously hate filled
Bear black crown
ON YOUR KNEES!
Lest ye be bludgeoned to kneel
Bear black gown
SWEAR TO THEE!
Lest ye be slaughtered and slain
Take this land, its innocence
Break it down
Pummeled to dust with the sledge
Take this haunting walk with me
Broken backs from the lashings he's laid
Anguish at last
With a tormenting hollow gaze
There's no help nothing
There's no peace to keep
Writhing and moaning
The snapping of bones break
Rewarded with nothing
Lifelessness binds to us
Dismay is tied throughout
Agony reigns relief
Bear black crown
ON YOUR KNEES!
Lest ye be bludgeoned to kneel
Bear black gowns
SWEAR TO THEE!
Lest ye be slaughtered and slain
A wicked man chosen to impose wrath
Upon the helpless mass
With all his wealth and class
Take the land and break it down
Pummeled to dust with the sledge
Just like the rest
Take this dreadful stroll and see
This spiteful crown
It bleeds away everything
This spiteful crown
This foolish catastrophe
This spiteful crown
Disgusting in every way
This spiteful crown
It’s dastardly, appalling

Nightfall

The dimming of daylight,
The shade encompasses all.
And the nightfall has covered
As the wicked now calls.
Horrific the image
Of what once was a man.
His ghastly posture
Composed with crinkled hands.
Cursed with immortality
Hunger forever more
Feast on the blood of one's misfortune
Tearing on with unquenchable gore.
Your blood brings me life
And it fuels my thirst.
I bid you delight
Yet deliver my curse
Lurking in shadows
I cut through with death
Like the grim reapers swing
Quick, deceptive and swift
Prowling, starving, with ill intent
Driven to madness by unforgiven pain.
Carnivorous and vile eyes
Harvesting throughout the night.
Cursed with immortality
Yearning for the end of me
Compelled to endlessly slay
Cursed to never see daylight
(Break)
Grotesque upon the wicked eyes
Cursed with immortality
Yearning for the end of me
Compelled to endlessly slay
The dwindle of daylight peers just beyond the plane.
Now I slowly crawl back from where I once came
Til the dusk overtakes and nightfall covers all.
I viciously await for my hunger to call.
Cursed with immortality
Hunger forever more
Feast on the blood of one's misfortune
Tearing on with unquenchable gore.

Form the lines
Take the best
Throw the scraps to the rotting remains
With this soullessness so undivine
An assailant’s decrepit divide
Eclipse my eyes
From the heartlessness you provide
Disgust and dismay drip from the lips of your lord
Envision the gore
From this blanket of bliss that drapes the blood streaked floors
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome a soulless man to besiege
To deceive and elude
And as such has been burdened on you
As the smite of his will breaks us down
Deception hatched
Kill the crown.
Revolt and rise
Let the flames burn all in sight
With this vengeance at hand
Retrieving with ferocity
Eclipse my eyes
Unmerciful no more
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome
A soulless man to besiege
Envision the gore
From this blanket of bliss that drapes the blood streaked floors
Within my grasp, within my reach
A solid plight to overcome
A soulless man to besiege
Relentless cold-blooded
Bleeding out
Infused with doubt
Blessed by death's cold presence
Let the darkness overcome
One last scowl and a curse and vow to soon return
To perish within death's embrace
The end will judge you now.

Disasters below
Pray for salvation while you're drifting away
And as the submission collapses every morsel of faith
Brace for the tipping point of your consciousness
So contorted twisted soulless and endlessly slain
Domain of pain
Wrathful plane
Sentenced for eternity
So ceased and consumed by all the darkness of the damned
We will never see the light of life again
Deep underworld
Death's despair
As you’re embraced within hell
Tides of shed blood
Endless floods
As they drift and sink and swell
Beg for the end of grief to come
There's no salvation in sight
Only pain and regret
And disdain, agony
Beg for the end of death's suffering
And the eternal demise of the soul
And the light is lost
So lost
Pray for salvation while you're drifting away
And as the submission collapses every morsel of faith
Brace for the tipping point of your consciousness
So contorted twisted soulless and endlessly slain
So lost and forsaken and abandoned without hope
Confined and oppressed by all the horrors within hell
Deep underworld
Death's despair
As you’re embraced within hell
Tides of shed blood
Endless floods
As they drift and sink and swell
Endless floods of blood
Pray for salvation
Beg for the end of grief to come
There's no salvation in sight
Only pain and regret
And disdain, agony
Beg for the end of death's suffering
And the eternal demise of the soul
And the light is lost
So lost
Pray for salvation while you're drifting away
And as the submission collapses every morsel of faith
Brace for the tipping point of your consciousness
So contorted twisted soulless and endlessly slain

Defiant and bound to vanquish
Yet the Gods stood in my path
Betrayed by my own bloodline
As the conqueror gives his wrath
The times titans fell with greatness
The price is even worse
To bear the slate eternal
Hold the skies, your demise is sealed
Facelessness
Forgotten yet still here
Forget me not
My curse to burden me
Bearing the weight of the world
The great pillar still prevails
Alone I hold it all
Alone I am bound, bound to my fate
Carry the slate forever
The strength held up by one
Wise beyond my great foes
Yet entangled and forcefully shunned
The end is everlasting
There's no need for tears
The grasp surprised the pain
Forgiveness forbidden
Bearing the weight of the world
The great pillar still prevails
Alone I hold it all
Alone I am bound, bound to my fate
Bearing the weight of the world
The great pillar still prevails
Alone I hold it all
Alone I am bound, bound to my fate

Hail! Hail!
All hail and bow before your lord and majesty
Hail! Hail!
Make way or die peasants
Give up your praise
A king's posture met
Embellished with dread
This man is not what he claims to be
Bred for the throne
Born of nobility
Evil and treachery engraved within him
And all that he rules shall burn
Fiendishly filled with a hunger that only wealth and dominance
and tyranny could ever even satisfy.
His lust goes on unfulfilled.
Gripping the necks of all who defy him
All will know the bitter enforcement that must be implied through his wrath.
Hail! Hail!
All kiss the ground before your heartless liege
Hail! Hail!
Adored while repugnant and so disgusting
Kneel! Kneel!
Lashings and blood spill will reflect on this day
Almighty overlord, what is thy will?
Biddings of massacres, mayhem and such gore
Kneel! I said Kneel!
Dictations have yet to have been met
Repercussions of wrath inflicting genocide
All shall be unveiled
Deception and treachery is promised to all
Fiendishly filled with a hunger that only wealth and dominance
and tyranny could ever even satisfy.
A treachery toward the masses striking often and without a second's regret.
All reason has long been lost
Hail! Hail!
All hail and bow before your lord and majesty
Hail! Hail!
All kiss the ground before your heartless liege
Hail! Hail!
Deception and treachery is promised to all

Vendetta

Not long ago
You ripped me down
Tore something out
Something I'll never be able to retrieve
Not long from now
You will regret
And you will beg
For all the kindness that you never showed to me.
I swear my vengeance will rain down upon you
I swear my vendetta will end with your life
Never again will i let your affections affect me
I will be relieved when you’re gone
Slash of the throat
Cut to the bone
Frightened with dread
Dug in with my blade
Satisfaction now achieved
The look in your eyes
As you start to die
I've waited for this
Since you crossed the line with arrogance and pride
I swore my vengeance would rain down upon you
I swore my vendetta will end when you are dead
Never again can your afflictions affect me
I now rejoice that you are gone
Without regret
It was for the best
I swore my vengeance would rain down upon you
I swore my vendetta would end when you are dead
Never again can your afflictions affect me
And now that you are gone
I got that something back

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!
