Rebreather 06:40
Underneath this blackened sky, on a day with blood stained fallen leaves Makes me wonder why did we choose this road of destruction Check the boxes on the Devil’s plan, around my neck is my brother’s hands Every four years the Devil’s words have touched him, they’ve touched him Now swim, in the deep end where the devil’s hide Now swim, in the depths of your pool of lies Now swim, in the deep end where the devil’s hide Now swim, in the depths of your pool of lies Fill our oceans up with righteous souls Cast out by pedophiles wearing gold Be sure to leave your checks on the altar Raise your hands with snakes to the sky Only the poor get bit and don’t quite why Many false prophets try, but still can’t stop Her My Black Queen Now swim, in the deep end where the devil’s hide Now swim, in the depths of your pool of lies Now swim, in the deep end where the devil’s hide Now swim, in the depths of your pool of lies

Under Earth 02:57
Underneath the gallows where the blood will run into the wooden pyres Are built on top of the foundations laid by those more civilized Of course, the history books are written by the winners every time The greatest mysteries have been shrouded by the murderers and the swine Take a look at the ground and know the truth has washed away Cities fall into the earth, they stay What’s built tomorrow will be our final grave The bastards lie away!! Dig below the surface, find the implements of war Mama’s precious baby has had his body blown up on the shore Why do we accept directions from the tyrant’s filthy rich? In the next election, I’ll cast my vote with two closed fists Take a look at the ground and know the truth has washed away Cities fall into the earth, they stay What’s built tomorrow will be our final grave The bastards lie away!!

She walks down the path A path of bones instead of stone Held together by blood, an offering for the wickedness we have done I open my soul to whichever God will let me slaughter the most tonight No matter how much we want, it’s always about the dark so fuck the light This wound will leave scars And still dancing in the fire Keep believing in your fake paradise While the hell softly comes closer Way behind the wall they plot the ruse to take us down Give us some crumbs, a couple of sons, a bucket a blood to paint the town Every soul will gather below and plot the way that we should go And when they do fall, the God’s of all of mankind lose control This wound will leave scars And still dancing in the fire Keep believing in your fake paradise While the hell softly comes closer Please wake up It’s time to free yourself Please hurry up This is your last chance

Thoughtform 03:48
These walls will close up tonight, by morning lose my fortune Who must I kill just to live my life without distortion? This road is hard and there is zero chance for my redemption You make a fool of me, I’ll snap your neck with bad intentions I’ve got the world in the palm of my hand We go to war over god’s and land I want to squeeze ‘til the blood runs cold A cool breeze as I count the souls Who made the rule that we turn the other cheek and lay down? I’m not a slave to a system that was made to keep crowns While the world takes a shot when I cannot get up Say these words in silence as the blood hits the cup I’ve got the world in the palm of my hand We go to war over god’s and land I want to squeeze ‘til the blood runs cold A cool breeze as I count the souls

Soulshank 05:55
Devil one comes from the west and takes my name in vain tonight Devil two looks just like you, I killed that beast in broad daylight Devil three looks just like me, a shadow being I’m forced to fight Devil four unlocks the gate, I see my throne on the other side Push the knife into my soul and twist ‘til this motherfucker bleeds out I will rise again as a new born man, king of the flesh who brings the flames down Climb the tree of death, descend to the bottom of the soil and break away Inhale the smoke of a burning wound, I come to face everything I hate The wind it sweeps my sorrows into the depths of a blood-filled lake And behind the shadows, I catch a glimpse of Her ageless face Push the knife into my soul and twist ‘til this motherfucker bleeds out I will rise again as a new born man, king of the flesh who brings the flames down
6.
The seas will boil with the blood of a million souls, red tides tonight Washed down by the clouds of sorrow, waiting for the savior’s light Here comes the one you swear to follow down The moon turns away with the key in Her hand, wearing Her invisible crown As the sun dies, believers cry for deliverance And they realize, what they held dear never made sense Cry for redemption, drench the fields in blood No one left to save The death of a million suns No one left to blame on the path to eternal death Light and dark the same Heaven’s gate is hell collapsing, trapped by the deceiver’s game Open your mouth and take the flesh, strip yourself of shame The sun will set just one last time, devoured by the flame As the sun dies, believers cry for deliverance And they realize, what they held dear never made sense Cry for redemption, drench the fields in blood No one left to save The death of a million suns

Punish 03:20
I’ll bring the hammer down, just listen for the undertaker Should’ve unlocked the chains when you had the chance I’ll cast the blackest magick, rape your soul with seven hatchets My Demons bite, so you’ll shit your pants Take’em on down to the lowest low Bloody skies and the blackest crows Hell doesn’t exist, but you’ll wish it did You took that little girls innocence and now I punish you My Goddess loves destruction Use the best on a fool like you My body’s stocked with blackened flame And as the serpent rises, I feel my power flow We spill your blood as you go insane Take’em on down to the lowest low Bloody skies and the blackest crows Hell doesn’t exist, but you’ll wish it did You took that little girls innocence and now I punish you

Caveman bites the fruit and sends us to collections Then the one that loves us so, declares us all infections The Serpent’s path is left to rot, but we turn our face to the sky Once the skin sheds, man will rebel and reach for the dragon’s eye Reach for the dragon’s eye!!! Up on the mountain gathers a kingdom, fooling the masses with lies of our freedom Using the cross as a cage to keep us still The faces of death walk among us like victims Raping the coffers and poisoning systems Buried in sin, we act on our own freewill Reach! Spread my wings Fly! Reach for the dragon’s eye Reach! Spread my wings Fly! Reach for the dragon’s eye Light retreats and I am your king now Spread my wings and drain your seas now So many tunnels emerging from the tree Magick and violence go hand in hand If you pull back the curtain you expose the man Embrace the dragon and live for eternity Reach! Spread my wings Fly! Reach for the dragon’s eye Reach! Spread my wings Fly! Reach for the dragon’s eye
