To the Grave
05:04
|
|||
Condemned to die a death ridden with grief
Endless sorrow is hidden deep beneath
Lay down in a casket made of filth
You will live your last drowning in guilt
The crypt is opening
From death you can't be saved
Your irredeemable mistakes
Will follow you to the grave
(Leads: Blumenfeld)
[Drew Blood:]
Lies and deceit become your legacy
A pale shadow of what you wished to be
No one will know the secrets that you keep
In the grave finally, now you can sleep
[Micah Adams:]
The crypt is opening
From death you won't be saved
Your unforgivable mistakes
Will follow you to the grave
(Solo: Hiber)
[Garrett Alvarado:]
The crypt is opening
From death you can't be saved
Your irredeemable mistakes
Will follow you to the grave
[Andrew MV:]
The crypt is opening
From death you won't be saved
Your unforgivable mistakes
Will follow you to the grave

Destroying Angel
04:45
|
|||
Tangled in a web of deception
My soul is hers to receive
Poison hidden in ambrosia
I am dying on my knees
I promised her everything
After she had taken it all first
Don't drink the holy water
Or you might just die of thirst
Drained of that which lets me survive
Collapse into her embrace of deceit
She will keep me alive
To cower at her feet
(Solo: Blumenfeld)
(Solo: Schrampfer)
The net of her web gets tighter
Asphyxiating me more by the hour
I cannot fight her
Destroying angel has me in her power
(Solo: Hiber)

Death-Obsessed
05:15
|
|||
(Lead: Blumenfeld)
Do not cry, my dearest love
For though I may be gone
I've gone into the afterlife
I've found a world beyond
And when you too have lost your life
We will meet again
Believe me from experience
Death is not the end
I needed to leave the Earth
Where I have suffered endlessly
Ever since my birth
I needed to find my peace
But when I look down on you
I hate what I see
You're death-obsessed
Let me go
You're death-obsessed
It's not the end I know
(Solo: Blumenfeld)
I had grown world-weary
I wanted eternal rest
But ever since I've left
You've become death-obsessed
You must forget my name
You have to let me go
Though you can't hear my cries
Death's not the end, I know
I have watched you become cold and weak
Just because you long for me
Death is what you seek
So now I beg of you to dig me from my grave
Maybe if you behold me
Your life can still be saved
You're death-obsessed
Let me go
You're death-obsessed
You're death-obsessed, I know
With a spade
Your longing soon will fade
As you exhume
Open up my tomb
Take me from
My final resting place
And gaze upon
My maggot-ridden face
(Solo: Hiber)
(Solo: Blumenfeld)

Opaque Malevolence
04:54
|
|||
Life: The unanswered question
Spiraling into the abyss
Suffering is all that makes sense
The only solution I insist
Mutiny, rebellion arrives
Eternal damnation shall prevail
As you search through life’s deception
It’s clear we’re all born to die
(Lead: Schrampfer)
As time shall pass
My palms, they sweat
All I’ve been told confronts me slowly
These scenic lies we all perceive
Swallow the fact that no one told me
Belial times, they soon emerge
A clairvoyance, suddenly I see...
The opaque malevolence
[Chorus:]
Invisible to the naked eye
I must resist, for trickery lurks
Improbable, an unknown hell
Chaos is near, time is running out
Epiphany, the vision’s here
Do not obey, none are trustworthy
Take your time, the end greets you warm
All that is said shall not be trusted
[Bridge:]
(Lead: Hiber)
Stay away from what dwells within
None are safe from the lies they dispute
Nothing left, all dignity gone
Now I have everything to risk
A portrait of deception, denial
The things that I can’t comprehend
Take it all, my soul shall be yours
Does no good to me on it’s own
Get me out, a metaphorical cage
Dusk breaks as my downfall comes near
Ashes lay
Confusion sets into my brain
Death greets in vain, around the corner
The time is now, revolution
Advanced warfare, becomes the new norm
Options run out, enforced labor is all that’s left
Suddenly I see…
The opaque malevolence
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
(Solo: Blumenfeld + Hiber)
Clarity, the vision I see
The imagery takes a dark turn
Equality is nonexistent
Save your breath, for it brings no good
Randomized are our social views
Logic remains no more
Sanctity, for there’s none left
Unholy thoughts lay to waste in my brain
Sensible words exist no more
Same fucking guilt bleeds into my life
The greed remains, the good does not
A toxic cult, our world has become
Brain cells decline, ribcages crushed
What not to be, suddenly I see…
The opaque malevolence
[Chorus]

5. |
||||
The hordes have risen
To take our feeble lives
Zombie apocalypse
Lies on the horizon
Cold bodies swarming
Ascended from hell
The timekeeper of humanity
Tolls the final bell
There's nothing we can do
To prevent this resurgence
Judgement Day has arrived
Humanity is doomed
[Chorus:]
Shelter is nonexistent
No way to escape death
We all cower in fear
In the face of Armageddon
The Necromancer
Raised dead from their graves
Spreading disgust and disease
With his zombie slaves
Slashing through the mortal
With rotting crooked teeth
Devoured by countless stiffs
We are utterly helpless
Consuming all life they see
Leaving trails of filth
Infected corpses
Bring evil to the Earth
Supplies are running low
The greedy taking plenty
The poor are left to die
In this hellish nightmare
[Chorus]
(Lead: Blumenfeld)
(Schrampfer:)
Absence of hope becomes visible
Time running short
Rise from dust
For now you must
Save yourself
For human flesh they strive
...to rend our flesh from our bone
To build an army of their own
There's nowhere left to run
The human race is done
We're ripped to shreds by jagged nails
The evil dead will soon prevail
Muscle and bone rended from flesh
Our species gasps its final breath
(Solo: Blumenfeld)
(Solo: Hiber)
We have no chances left
To escape from the corpses
Our only option now
Is simply to surrender
[Chorus]
Conjuring the necromancer
Conjuring the dead

Obliterate the Convent
06:04
|
|||
Brainwashed children conditioned
To kneel before the cross
Twisted into submission
We mourn the thoughts they've lost
Lies soak into their minds
Soon they too do evil deeds
So now it's time to bring on
The reckoning this world needs
[Chorus:]
They only grow up to lie and persecute
Our only solution is to execute
But to spare humanity a little while
Crush the convent, kill the child
Servants to a false prophet
They preach only blind allegiant hate
Death: The ultimate resolution
This must be their fate
Merciless, the pain they must face
To pay for their lies and deceit
Satan, the only true master
Whose words must now be preached
[Chorus]
(Solo: Hiber)
(Solo: Blumenfeld / Hiber / Blumenfeld / Hiber)
Ash rains down from the sky
As the church goes up in flames
Smoke burns their throats
As the heat melts their wicked brains
Collapsing rubble and dust
From which they cannot escape
Banished from the mortal realm
They'll never find heaven's gate
[Chorus]
Crush the convent, kill the child
Crush the convent, kill the child now
