Lyrics

"Decline" 0:00

Just as blades pierce skin, your resentment sets in
Through your eyes of hate, all that's seen does not exist
Devoured in your false rebellion; you're bound to fall
Thought I was done suffocating in your grasp, but still I keep drifting back to where my reflection shows black
Right back down to my knees I fall
Eyes fixated on your soul
As you pump the fucking lead into my heart
Find the balance between apparition and me
You were lost, alone, stuck in a rut, nowhere to go
You held out your hand and felt the earth exhale
Here I am, living right behind your eyes
Here I am , your definite demise

"The Agonies of Death" 3:02

I sing songs of silence, nothing is heard
but a dying pulse, exasperation and a loss for words
But as I wait, the agonies of death & the downfall impend
The bitter peace, the cold silence of what could be
As I feel the warm embrace of barren nightfall I dissolve grace
And a hearts desire
Victim of suffering
A conscience retired
And the demons shrieks hold the weight of eternity
Now I await the agonies of death until my downfall
The agonies of death await
Come armageddon, expel the earth of mankind
Annihilation now, death and downfall alined
So much remorse in my head
Buried, not yet dead
But I'm dying. I'm just trying to be in existence
Without a conscience murdering me

"Scorched Earth" 5:20

Stagnate and decay
Disintegrate-in to remains
Anticipating a slow death, discontent is all that's left
Watch this word burn as I await the collapse
Praying to darkness, I sit and wait
On land as empty as promises I've made
Destruction falling as pale bones are freed
From muscle and blood
As the fire surrounds me I'm left with nothing
Singe my flesh, to let the heat flow in
And thaw this frozen heart
Blood of the heavens rain down to earth.
Await the collapse as existence burns
Stagnate and decay
Disintegrate-in to remains
Praying to darkness I sit and wait
On land as empty as promises i've made
Now I see through the eyes of a perilous curse
Laid to rest on this scorched earth

"Fragmented Flesh" 8:00

I'm drowning as demons control the earth
Bare witness to the altered birth
As arrogance persists
We embrace the the unrelenting curse that we've instilled
Void the ego and whats left to kill
Back and forth through a mind consumed
Longing for a life entombed
Dominion can't be achieved
Strangle yourself
Devour your destiny
Of hatred, revulsion, disgust for yourself
There's no difference between the poisons
Which loom in your hell
Life and death have passed like ghosts yet you remain
Like the shackles on the bones of those that you enslave
Look around and see who's left to torment
Shackle your own arrogance cease
Strangle yourself you fucking coward
