Fading Luminaries Guide the Path Afar 04:23
lyrics

In this silent forest lit by pale lights A forgotten trail cloaked by crisp leaves Rustle underfoot Leading to a serene loch Where the shore has been touched By winter’s icy finger The beauty possessed by such a place Reduced to mere memories As snow begins to cover the ground Leaving existence cold and lonesome Frost shimmers on moonlit pine An ethereal moment of solitude Bird and beast Spellbound they sing A haunting melody Of a forest that consumes All who enter Guided by the pale light

Journey to Elysium 05:38
lyrics

Cherry-picked by the gods The journey will be long and grueling Adorned in robes of fabled yellow Pick up the torch and step into the unknown Fluttering in the distance A sun-bleached banner Pointing due west Signals danger ahead Bitter winds blow off obsidian cliffs The crashing of waves, plangent Bathe in the ocean of deceit The saltwater burns thy eyes Lurking in the twilight Picking up the scent they’ve followed for miles Snow-white wolves with vermillion eyes Howling to their ancestors As they begin the hunt Beguiling sweven Heaving ecstasy Teeming purity Eternal harmony Garland of asphodel Idyllic adytum Snapping maws awaken thee Ensnared in the thick brambles Swiftly drawing up the blade Piercing it through their jowls Turning towards a mammoth cavern Only to stumble upon a primitive man Muttering that he is the final trial Mauled into the dirt Inimically reaching for thy throat Before he wails as cold steel rips through his chest Follow the light Greeted by the god's warm embrace Drink from the chalice And rejoice as crisp water touches cracked lips Mossy rocks lay nestled along the hillside Salmon-pink roses stretch for as far as the eye can see This is Elysium

Led by the Iron Fist 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Born beneath the blood moon A child proclaimed by prophecy Foretellings written in stone Heralding an unforgiving rapture Like a pernicious weed Word traveled with haste across the land Of God’s daughter, fallen from grace To wipe clean the sins of the world With passing years and twisting tongue She raises an army, a hammer of wrath Led by her iron fist Judgment will soon come Under her command They cleave skulls and strip flesh Erecting a monument with bone and ash Soot blocks out the sun As she dances around the funeral pyre Fulfilling their augury She ascends to heaven To take her father’s head

Their Knees Buckle Under the Pressure 04:57
lyrics

Faces stained with the blood of their enemies Marching onward, ever upward O the mighty kingdom to which they honor Has been built on the bodies of the fallen Fathers and sons raise their swords As the trumpet blast heeds war Arrows descend from the heavens Shields clash, spears impale Death throes Vehement howls of the fallen Their bodies begin to buckle at the knees A haze which drapes over bodies Left on this field of battle Death greets in the most somber fashion This is Hell on Earth Hell on Earth Blood gushes from open wounds Cries for mothers fall on deaf ears Flies begin to swarm, maggot-layers A prairie of feather reed trampled under Self-righteous men bound to never surrender Morning brings the screams of shear terror Until the last man lays dead in the mud

The Weeping Widow 04:00
lyrics
buy track
Meine Geliebte, Die Jahre sind vergangen, aber ich warte immer noch Und ich werde ewig warten Bis Tod uns wieder zusammenführt Frail and haggard She fusses with her tarnished ring Looking out over the endless sea The wind ties braids in her silver hair Shriveled roses Remind her That time is an unforgiving servant of death Clad in her bridal gown In the crisp midnight air She returns to the sea Wading in the water She drowns herself Cold and alone

Emerald Aurora 05:42
lyrics
buy track
Hidden in the valley Lies the body of elation Gaze upon the garth Barren and desolate Vultures circle above, signaling decay Day engulfed by their shadow cast All hope lay blanketed under emptiness Its eyes rot staring at the emerald aurora A woeful eclipse kisses its lifeless lips And moans forevermore Pressed deeper in the earth The ceramic sky cracks and descends Twisting, screaming, wretched is the black rain Eating away its skeletal remains Revealing a cavity that once held Humanities great tribulations

Influenced by Beauty and Melancholy 05:24
lyrics
buy track
O holy divine, hath pity upon these mere mortals With outstretched arms, their wretched bones ache And weary minds longing for the lull of dreamful slumber Departing from a colorlessness that has sterilized existence Show them beauty Vanquish the flames Reveal the oasis Their glimpse of jubilation But only a fool would follow without question As clasped hands are molested and defiled The dirtiest of sin lies with god Beyond the pale Clamor the drones of the forgotten As darkness cloaks what joy once brought

Bearing the Mark of Passing Time 05:15
lyrics
buy track
As black clouds, sink down from the sky And the crying winds screech Rain begins to spill like blood Pouring from the throat of the world Before the smog strangled fauna and flora All life sprang from her fertile womb Earth her primordial landscape Birthing Time and the Fates Gaia’s turgid arms Gilded by the lamenting sunset Languished and flaccid Holding her children Before the imminent extinction Her once nurturing touch Has become enfeebled Disease quickly spreads Wiping existence clean off this terrestrial sphere Sands of time, sweep away Scorching sands, burn away

Death's Serenade 05:40
lyrics
buy track
The king has died atop his throne Dagger pierced through the heart His lust for power costing his life Jaw agape he swallows the stars Crowning yet another old fool With a lecherous tyrannical appetite Bursting his ivory mantle at the seams Looming over the crowd Spitting hypocrisy on a castigated people His avarice and crooked modus operandi Quickly befouls the kingdom Cretin A decadence worthy of dethroning Dragged into the streets Stone after stone Disfigure his vile visage Hoisted up for all to see The people now are truly free
