Devour the Dead

In a place where the sun sets, at the edge of the world
All your deeds lie in judgment, all your pleas will be heard
Scales of justice weigh your fate
Salivating jaws await
She is three beasts of one flesh, demigod with no throne
Bound to serve out the ages, she devours hearts of stone
Scales of justice weigh your fate
Salivating jaws await
Days of mercy like bones to dust
Come forth thieves and liars
Your time has grown dire
Tomb of heavy hearts, tearing souls apart
The devoured, the divine
The devoured, the divine
Feast upon our eyes
Evil cannot hide
We will judge you all
Pray the feather falls
Your salvation or your doom
Life eternal or your tomb
The devoured, the divine
The devoured, the divine
Your salvation or your doom
Life eternal or your tomb
Now the beast grows impatient
Judges settle your score
Feather soars to the heavens
Your heart sinks to the floor
Scales of justice seal your fate
Salivating jaws await
Days of mercy like bones to dust

Up From The Depths
06:55
|
|

Leave me to my infinite feast
You do not belong here
Lest you wish to feed this beast
Go back from where you once came
With no sword, neither by spear
Just the might of your bare hands
Stare into the six eyes of hate
Up from the depths into the light
I’m dragged into a world gone blind
A burning hatred from my eyes
Subjected to a world gone blind
The piercing sun, I’m overcome
A curse upon the sunlight
Adamant chains, a hero has claimed
Am I a prize or condemned?
Throne of the king, the praises they sing
The black hound of Hades
Mortal succumb, immortal become
Up from the depths into the light
I’m dragged into a world gone blind
A hatred blazing in my eyes
Subjected to a world gone blind
Serpents form his mane
Rage, fear and pain
Howl - the call of the dead
Shame, awe and dread
Vengeance within my eyes
Born of pitch and fire
Bound shackled and beat
Break the chains at my feet
Before the dawn, I reach Acheron
Home - it has been so long
I cross the gates so weary, so worn
Just as the sun crests the sky
Hades awaits, a thralldom of graves
I return to his side
Service for life, a servant of death
Up from the depths into the light
I’m dragged into a world gone blind
I choose sight
Subjected to a world gone blind

Through Divine Rite
08:33
|
|
||
The embers have grown cold
In our barren stronghold
We grow weary as the sun escapes the sky
Days ago down below
Lost dominion to our foes
They await the scythe to cleanse us from the Earth
Like razors to the flesh
Down the vines to certain death
We die free
Through divine rite
We descend into the black
We may never come back
We die free
Through divine rite
We’ve been shackled from the womb
Lived our lives like men entombed
Subjugated under heel and bloody lash
And we toiled with sword in hand
Spilling blood on Roman sands
We’re a waking viper coiled around their necks
Like razors to the flesh
Down the vines to certain death
We die free
Through divine rite
We descend into the black
We may never come back
We die free
Through divine rite
Rise! We are fury, we’re the end
Their backs are exposed as we descend
Rush - decimate their legionnaires
Flay - open flesh, no one is spared
Loose the arrows, charge the wall
Before they sound the battle call
Seize trebuchet and Roman steel
Time for imperials to kneel
No time to mourn what we have lost
Our freedom comes at such a cost
Make them beg us for their lives
No quarter! No one will survive

Boundless cities of mortal man
With spear and shield, they make their stand
Waiting high from beyond their sight
Silent death rains down from the skies
Fire in the sky
From the mountains to the sea
Fire in the sky
The echoes last eternally
Everlasting fire
They shall burn before its feet
Glowing embers dance upon the wind
As darkness closes, it shall descend
Its shadow traces the mountainside
And velvet wings suffocate the light
Fire in the sky
From the mountains ‘cross the sea
Fire in the sky
The dying sun, the coming eve
Everlasting fire
All shall burn for their defeat
Beware the vengeance from the sky
Behold the hate within its eyes
Beware the serpent - of ancient times
Beware the name you cannot speak
Behold the endless misery
Prepare to take your final breath
Behold your death - on blackened wings
Beware the vengeance in the sky
Behold the hate within its eyes
Beware the serpent of the ancient times
Beware the name you cannot speak
Behold the endless misery
Prepare to take your final breath
Behold your death!
The endless horizon
Reaper on the wind
Visions of fire…visions in the flame
Evil is rising
Unhallowed misery
Visions of fire....visions in the flame
Fiery visions - Visions in the flame
Fiery visions - Visions in the flame
Beware the vengeance in the sky
Behold the hate within its eyes
Beware the serpent - of ancient times
Beware the name you cannot speak
Behold the endless misery
Prepare to take your final breath
Behold your death!
Beware the vengeance in the sky
Behold the hate within its eyes
Beware the serpent - of ancient times
Prepare to take your final breath
Behold the dark shroud of your death
Beware the serpent from the sky
Behold the end!

When Old Gods Die
07:12

Enemy of old
Hungers for my end
Hammer swinging down
Man can’t comprehend
No!
Serpent from the deep
Coiled around the world
To face my oldest foe
Watch as I unfurl
The way the world ends
The way the world ends
When old gods die we start again
The way the world ends
Sun as black as coal
Earth devoid of souls
At last the tale is done
But we have not won
The way the world ends
The way the world ends
When old gods die we’ll meet again
The way the world ends
The way the world ends

Trampled Into the Earth
06:15
|
|

They come forth the vanguard of doom
Vast as sight their banners of war
Hear them sound their Clarion horn
Trampled into the earth!
Scarlet flames reach into the sky
Choking embers blot out the sun
Oh our cities razed ash
Trampled into the earth
Ruin has come for us all
Steel on steel, burial ground
Under their venomous gaze
Visions of darkness, are visions no more!
A plague to rob you of breath
Behold the bringer of death
Of death
Of death
Their death a stain on our soul
Steel on steel! Blood, it shall flow
Clawing our way to the grave
Vanquished lie dead, trophied remains!
Until there’s no one left
Behold the bringer of death
Death
Death
Ravens feasting upon their bones
Skulls piled high like mountains of stones
Soon their hunger rises again
Trampled into the earth!

You’ve come from afar
Thread cut from the skein
You dare to tread here
Where all must come clean
You can take your soul
Leave the rest ashore
Take your soul
All your weight must go
This skiff has seen finer days
The ages haven’t been kind
If you weigh her down
You’ll be lost for all time
You can take your soul
Leave the rest ashore
Take your soul
All your weight must go
A pauper bearing empty hands
A king with riches and demands
A warrior’s medals and his fame
Just clear the gangway of those claims
A seer bringing words of dread
A courtesan adorned in red
A politician and his lies
Will surely make us all capsize
We sail down the Styx
We’re destined for home
Eternity waits
This life all I’ve known
You can take your soul
Leave the rest ashore
Take your soul
All your weight must go
You can take your soul (two coins for the ferryman)
Leave the rest ashore (two coins for the ferryman)
Take your soul (two coins for the ferryman)
All your weight must go (two coins for the ferryman)
Once battle scarred
Now spineless men
All greed and power
Indifference
Let it go!
