Pride

Bow Before me
I’ll watch you crawl, and beneath
The gods have fallen
Slaves unto me, never release
Dark skies choke the earth anew
Night falls, I rip the earth in two
Jest and grin from my seat
I render you obsolete
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
It is written in blood
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
I am your new god
Bones in the ashes
Gaze upon the others as they flee
Rejected my being
Disfigured bodies in the sea
Lifeless piles by candlelight
Useless attrition, what a sight
Dark skies choke the earth anew
Night falls I rip the earth in two
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
It is written in blood
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
I am your new god
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
It is written in blood
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
I am your new god
No burden can weigh me, nothing will change
It is written in blood
Bow Before me
I’ll watch you crawl, and beneath
The gods have fallen
Slaves unto me, never release

Gluttony
04:46
|
|||
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Now will you let me give in, or give up
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Now will you let me give in, or give up
Hours swell breathe in the smell, discover the hole in your heart
Sweltering and digesting, there’s nothing here worth remembering
Deafen yourself, collapse your hell, sink into the swell
Poison the well, throw away your wealth, drink deep of your own hell
Swallow whole deteriorate, clasp your throat and suffocate, drag me down and follow
Burn the world, drown in fate, dreaming of pure escape, choke yourself to death
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Now will you let me give in, or give up
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Now will you let me give in, or give up
Hours swell breathe in the smell, discover the hole in your heart
Sweltering and digesting, there’s nothing here worth remembering
Clenching your teeth, the filth you eat, filling you up from inside
An abyss of rot a broken key rusted lock, misery apathy, your demise
Gluttony
Deafen yourself, collapse your hell, sink into the swell
Poison the well, throw away your wealth, drink deep of your own hell
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Will you let me give in, or give up
Take what you will from me, let me lie
Will you let me give in, or give up
Hours swell breathe in the smell, discover the hole in your heart
Sweltering and digesting, there’s nothing here worth remembering

Greed
04:10
|
|||
Sleeping in your ancient ruin
The filth would show If there wasn’t so much gold
Built from the sweat and blood of children
Eventually collapsing in upon itself
Your world view is as corrupt as it is wrong
Taking away smiling faces, replacing them with bleeding fingers
But you still see nothing wrong
I will set your empire alight
No more suffering because of your greed
You will know what it means to have nothing
Rotting in your ancient ruin
The filth is so black it has tarnished away the gold
Built from the sweat and blood of children
The walls only just standing
Pricelessness and worthlessness
Amounting to nothingness
Empty stomach, poisoned water
Rotting mattress, filthy plates
These are the homes of the children you enslave
Bleeding freely upon the earth
A single child whimpers, alone
You forced this fate on so many
Now you lie, hated on your throne
Greed has burned a hole in you
A hole that no possession can fill
Now you live in a castle of misery
Fighting what you cannot kill

Lust
04:15

ruination, desecration
filling the void with things
anticipation, trepidation
falling without your precious wings
invocation, pure evasion
die before you could sing
immolation, pure elation
burning without your precious wings
scribbled out erased by fate, your life's a lie drawn out by hate
progress to nothing enslaved to this, these bitter seeds give you bitter bliss
Now only half alive, reaching upwards for the light
growing through the rotted forest floor, gagging on the fermented world
ruination, desecration
filling the void with things
anticipation, trepidation
falling without your precious wings
invocation, pure evasion
die before you could sing
immolation, pure elation
burning without your precious wings
The wretched smoke it burns your lungs, will you give up when it gets to much
A hollow guilt forms in your bones, but the guilt alone is never enough
Your lost eyes could see anything, all of creation beckoning
Still you’re chained to these bitter seeds, this bitter bliss becoming bitter leaves
Now a towering tree touching the blackened sky
Its roots forced between tectonic plates, ripping them apart
Like a cancer it grows, so large and so slow
Now in its choking grasp and you truly feel alone
Then it begins, the smallest of fractures
The leaves begin to rot and fall
Decaying in brilliant colors, scattering away
The roots recede
And the towering tree sways in the wind
Swaying one last time before it finally falls down
ruination, desecration
filling the void with things
anticipation, trepidation
falling without your precious wings
invocation, pure evasion
die before you could sing
immolation, pure elation
burning without your precious wings

Sloth
04:42
|

Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
He said, line them up, then execute
Drop them in their graves
Now bring me women
Now bring me flesh
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
Where is your head, where are your people?
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
A forgotten sensation, a social corrosion
mentally misplaced, the human being, erased
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
Counting down until his life is over, dead set with a blank grin on his face
Tyrants reign will millions under, stained hands without leaving his place
The dust has settled at the tyrants feet

Wrath
03:27
|

Death awaits you
Nether guide me, to strike upon the lesser
Tear the limbs, bones reduced to a splinter
Let the sensation mutilate your senses
Destruction, death shall be the sacrifice that cleanses
You will be devoured by the hell I’m about to bring
Enraged by hate I vent into you
Blinded anger, I turn into
A fiend that consumes ones soul
Grant me the darkness of thy entity
Grant me the power to crush a nation
You will be devoured by the hell I’m about to bring
With the knife I tear the skin, earthing all the veins
Try to move, your joints are wrecked, a harmony of pain
Slice the scalp and tug it back, the screaming of a martyr
Chained up, empty sockets, fall into black water
Nether guide me, let the darkness grow within

Envy
06:19
|
|||
I feel nothing and yet you feel deceived
To remove what you most desire, becoming one with nothing
Envious of everybody, clinging to these frozen dreams
I desire to feel your joy, collapsing inwards infinitely
Spiralling into darkness and rust and dust and death
I desire to feel your joy, collapsing inwards infinitely
This war is of no consequence, my actions suffer from no difference
Every second the same as the last, juxtaposed there is no contrast
I feel nothing and yet you feel deceived
To remove what you most desire, becoming one with nothing
Look at me, what do you believe
These masks bathed in falsehood, the truth of this is envy
This war is of no consequence, my actions suffer from no difference
Every second the same as the last, juxtaposed there is no contrast
I feel nothing, and yet you feel deceived
To remove what you most desire, becoming one with nothing
I cannot bear to see this spiral out of my control
Desire forcing a wedge between the halves of your soul
I cannot bear to see this spiral out of my control
Desire forcing a wedge between the halves of your soul
I cannot bear to see this spiral out of my control
Desire forcing a wedge between the halves of your soul
