Aware of all my past lives People say those are just dreams (They) say I belong to their kind But I know I'm not a human being Outsider and foreigner Fallen from the sky Lost in this futile planet My nature I can't deny --- I've seen all your history Your race is full of scars Never reaching utopia As long as your answer is war Don't say I'm of your kind That I will fight in your wars Don't you see I don't belong here I know I belong to the stars --- Every knee will bend before me And every tongue shall give me glory --- I'll give you all a slow death There will be no trace left I won't be the only one Decimation coming from the space My sinister progeny Can extinguish your sun Evilness so mounstrosly Will make your breed burn --- I've seen all your history Your race is full of scars Never reaching utopia As long as your answer is war I will sweep clean this earth I shall give you a painful death Error of creation Waste of the universe Don't say I'm of your kind That I will fight in your wars Don't you see I don't belong here I know I belong to the stars --- I am the guardian I am the King I am your Ruler Your new god is here --- Your evolution is a lie It's just primitive technology Don't forget you are just an animal Succumbing to your bestiality

When all the black ones gathered In the valley of the unholy souls Stained with blood the obsidian altar When (the) moon is full heads will roll Unvail the path to our perdition Uncover the eye of the black fire Ravens leading decomposition This evocation of the night --- Holders of the heretic keys Your mouth has cursed so many times Your blood is boling in ecstasy So that your tongue their name can speak My horror can your demons eclipse My rotting, ancient and black gods We are the bringers of apocalypse By this chant mankind dies --- Hail Hail! Hail Darkness Rise Rise! Ancient Ones --- Let's have the Ritual Communion The Summoning of the stars The scream of the forgotten ones and the horror Hierophant Gathered masses of fallen cardinals Corrupted by the 8th sin and then exiled to wander and die Blaspheme the holy land and Curse the sons of god --- Holders of the heretic keys Your mouth has cursed so many times Your blood is boling in ecstasy So that your tongue their name can speak My horror can your demons eclipse My rotting, ancient and black gods We are the bringers of apocalypse By this chant mankind dies --- Hail Hail! Hail Darkness Rise Rise! Ancient Ones

IN CHAOS AND MADNESS AND HORROR AND DARKNESS Don't stare at the stars everynight They belong to the abyss above our heads Don't listen to their stories tonight Dreadful tales they always tell They talk about the ancient codex In which the unnamable is named This offensive and atrocious vortex For our existence it shall be blamed --- IN CHAOS AND MADNESS AND HORROR AND DARKNESS Encircled by horrors and beasts Where chaos and madness whirl The total existence sleeps Lulled by fiendish flutes and bells The primal miasma breathes Where alpha and omega are the same Galaxies and planets it bleeds Dimensions and realities maims --- Don't read the bible of the lost tribes Such knowledge can crash your brain It's about where time and space collide Where the cosmic chaos reigns Don't fly beyond the black skies Beware of your wildest dreams where there is no space and time You'll face this nauseating beings --- IN CHAOS AND MADNESS AND HORROR AND DARKNESS Encircled by horrors and beasts Where chaos and madness whirl The total existence sleeps Lulled by fiendish flutes and bells The primal miasma breathes Where alpha and omega are the same Galaxies and planets it bleeds Dimensions and realities maims

Our greatest wish was granted But sequels were never foreseen Eternal life was reached It now lies in our hands Now our cells can last forever But so do our broken minds Depravity can not be erased It will last as long as we breathe --- Forever stranged Not all wishes can be bliss Forever deranged A bliss for some a torment for many Forever perturbed A torment that will last forever Forever depraved The wish that became a curse --- Condemned to contemplate Our perpetual atrocities There is no mind that can endure This nightmarish gallery No suicide left when your mind is lost No escape from this cruel reality A nation of broken minds A world of an eternal broken kind --- Forever stranged Not all wishes can be bliss Forever deranged A bliss for some a torment for many Forever perturbed A torment that will last forever Forever depraved Ages of decay are ahead Forever corrupted The race slowly rots Forever displaced The sane will be the outsiders Forever absurd Long live the broken ones Forever disgraced The wish that became a curse

Come down Come down to our realm May take you four years But we will wait here It is the only way If you shall find peace To heaven there's no stairway When you cease to exist Nine worlds going down The last one you shall reach Through deserts and snow Don't fall into the abyss Life was never fair So never was this place Only the righteous ones Shall eternal rest embrace --- Oh Lord! Oh Mistress! Watch me desintigrate I crave for my eternal sleep I know it is my fate Don't let me drown please Exhausted and almost blind The only thing I can see is this reflection of my deeds --- Enduring the strongest wind Up to the obsidian hill Beware of the savage beasts and of the vicious snakes And when the mountains collide Run as fast as you can look out for the arrows and for the invisible hands The gods are watching are watching as you endure here you will eternally wander if you fail to prove you're pure And for the last trial a mirror to your own mind rebirth or rest awaits leave all suffering behind --- Oh Lord! Oh Mistress! Watch me desintigrate I crave for my eternal sleep I know it is my fate Don't let me drown please Exhausted and almost blind The only thing I can see is this reflection of my deeds --- All the nights and the days To the wrong gods I prayed I've learned not to trust The followers of the cross All my words were in vain All the tears that I shed And the words that I spread All of them gone to waste Do I deserve this place? Will you forgive my name? Will my rest I embrace? Don't let me fall in disgrace! In this vertikal underworld I will be judged by the gods I will face my own demons In this trek of the souls

[Forbidden to be written] Driving my insanity to its limits [Forbidden to be written] Cruel lord of depravity [Forbidden to be written] Devouring all light and bliss [Forbidden to be written] Not enough I can say to describe your dread [Forbidden to be written] Emperor of the misfortune [Forbidden to be written] Ruler of the vicious ones [Forbidden to be written] Sadistic, cold-blooded defiler [Forbidden to be written] The Headless Horror --- Under the starry morbid sky When night becomes eternal and we are blinded by the darkness of our minds Beyond our understanding When darkness becomes our guide and we succumb to ourselves, which we always deny --- [Forbidden to be written] It's not written because it shall not be named [Forbidden to be written] The nightmare behind the wall [Forbidden to be written] Decimating all hopes and desires [Forbidden to be written] Close the book before it's too late [Forbidden to be written] I want to be your servant [Forbidden to be written] I have killed, raped and betrayed [Forbidden to be written] Devour me, I shall hold your power [Forbidden to be written] I summon you by saying your name --- Under the starry morbid sky When night becomes eternal and we are blinded by the darkness of our minds Beyond all understanding When darkness becomes our guide and we are guided by the embodiment of our sins

God bless my revolutionary vision I have found a way to make this a better world I will take you with me brothers and sisters My congregation, remember my word God bless my progressive mission Radical action, a protest and complain 'Cause we don't like to live in this conditions Our departure will not be in vain --- In the name of revolution If you are sick of this unfair reality I may be your mentor I call for a gathering In the name of progress If you are sick of this sad world Give our children the poison You can trust my divine word --- God bless my obsession with death I have lernt that life is only a phase This cruel existence is not peace But I have found a cure for this disease God bless my twisted beliefs Megalomaniac I turned out to be So good that people are easy to convince Name a God and they will follow your speech --- In the name of revolution If you are sick of this unfair reality I may be your mentor I call for a gathering In the name of progress If you are sick of this sad world Give our children the poison You can trust my divine word

Beautiful 07:56
My dream last night was a vivid one You were floating on a lake A knife went through your throat The blood got lost among the waters As the knife started to cut You desperately tried to fight But when you realized your fate was sealed You gave up, faded away, a glance to say goodbye --- I knew it was time to quit, when I saw you bleed to death I knew that I couldn't stay, when I saw your life fade away I knew it was time to quit, when I felt the death of a loved one I knew that I couldn't stay, because something died inside of me (too) --- The lakeside was so beautiful Beautiful as your smile As beautiful as your eyes And I cried and I tried and I cried And I cried and I tried and I cried Until I wish I wouldn't have to say goodbye And I grieved while your body started to sink I suffered the departing of your smile I mourned while you were closing your eyes I realized how hard I tried And when I was invaded by sorrow And felt there was no tomorrow I realized with the deepest horror That there was one to blame And I stared at the knife I couldn't believe my eyes I was the one to be blame --- I knew it was time to quit, when I saw you bleed to death I knew that I couldn't stay, when I saw your life fade away I knew it was time to quit, when I felt the death of a loved one I knew that I had to run, because it was me handling the knife!

Lost 07:48
In the seek of a different darkness We, chosen ones, sailed away from home Voyagers of the vast black abyss Drowning ourselves into the Unknown Across the spheres and the cosmos obscure Staring at the majestic but colosal black holes Across the black chaos we must endure Contemplating the ancient stars and their ghosts -- But we failed to prove our brilliance And we got lost within the starless sky No matter if we still have our perseverence In this place all gods have waved good bye Our course is lost, so is our chance to survive Are we alone in this black void or are we not? If the answer is NO I hope they wont find us alive 'cause our fate will be sealed to a torment unknown --- In the seek of a new place we can call home We fell into the blind chaos natural course Enthropy came to violently take its throne Our ship now is destined to burst or get lost Now the stars stare at us with their horrible ancient light And the spheres whisper hideous tales about primal dead gods The black holes seem to be approaching in this endless night Have you felt lost? Pray to god that you never get lost and to have mercy on us --- 'Cause we failed to prove our brilliance And we got lost within the starless sky No matter if we still have our perseverence In this place all gods have waved good bye Our course is lost, so is our chance tu survive Are we alone in this black void or are we not? If the answer is YES we shall lose our hope Our course will veer to oblivion -- Maybe is time to lose our minds But didn't we lose it when we decied to sail? Or maybe we were never properly sane Didn't we contemplate that we could fail? Are we Alone in this cosmic sea? Yes or no, both answers scare me the most Is this our divine punishment for abandoning... for abandoning our own race in our crippled home
