Looming darkness in the air consuming thousand-mile stare the undead are closing closer (funny, this is my nightmare) Hulking. Leering. Lurching. Innumerous. Become what you fear most Lay waste the survivors I'm still alive: Whiteboy high five I guess I'll just grin and bear it just like their features froze This scene seems quite the party and I've reached new lows A new era: humanity belied Some say we're undeserving I'd say I'm first in line Black eyes open, breathing plague, rising from this recent grave Reveling, reanimated: This party's here to fucking stay. Hulking. Leering. Lurching. Unstoppable. Oh. My. God. Howling masses, evil fueled by moonlight! Tremble, weakling! I will lead their ranks! We'll light this planet ablaze and bring the blackest end of days Oh. My. God. What has happened to me? This life propels indefinitely.

Chief of sin, the doctor's in, collecting bone, dissolving skin procedures now begin covertly. Prepared anesthetic: Chloroform (sublethal dose) Physician: Demonic Agenda: Grandiose Silence, the sacrifice confined Amidst the city's madness, an enclosure labyrinthine Triumph of medicine befouled commence the process with the turning of the valve Waning patience, the hour nears Unsuspecting victims' heartbeats linger in his ears An end conferred on Sixty-Third Picked clean, the carcass white as ivory, bleached pale finely articulated, iridescent, fit for sale Cadavers, a livelihood is made harvesting the treasures 'neath the shining scalpel's blade Murder assembled for display while racing to the bank, laughing all the way With this foul business in the past, he can begin anew Deadly practitioner, pioneer of craft abhorred making a killing, as profits soar

Chill Beats 00:28
Years spent in anticipation, looking fondly for this day they find themselves in admiration of a sick charade (The flickers of cruelty seem so distant) Out of the frying pan, into the fire “'Til Death do us part!” The wretched act has taken place a smile spreads across her face while observing the life fading from his

Axe Attack 03:46
It's an unfamiliar feeling, casual psychopathy I know they'd still be breathing, if they only let me be “This is no way to live your life.” This is no way to live your life My hopes. My dreams. Distorted The days cascading into years this blackened mind begins to reel I'd sell my soul to end this now Bloodshed? Make mine a double This place? Reduced to rubble Forget your human troubles and fan the flame! The horror. The gnashing. This weight to comprehend! Pushed forward, brain-bashing! The candle burns both ends. What could fail? I've got my orders, nothing but time to kill Witness their broken bodies. I've sent them all to hell "This is last call." Right. Another round, then All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy A welcome respite: the ice eternity could not suffice Drifting consciousness: Alive, and so I wait Devoured! Enraptured! History repeats itself again!

Remnants 05:07
The tow'ring blaze is rising through ashen-blackened skies Carnage and screams united Unholiest reprise Contorted, hollow shells Rotting thousands pile beneath All my former selves Their effigy lays incomplete Fixation on this endless, unyielding tomb Trial so polarizing, compelled to be consumed Then when does this affliction end? Awoken to a life before the nightmares of my final breath Repeating now forevermore the binary attempt I choose "continue": Hour by hour, limb by limb the vessel may die but I won't give in Being ripped to shreds That familiar, cold embrace Add another to the dead On which this curse is placed Indifferently discarded, mounting numbers multiply Each empty visage an artifact of it and I What constitutes the human spirit? What lies beyond the blood and bone? Answers encrypted beneath our understanding Some things are better left unknown This endless torment This unbounded grave This grand design Built to enslave We’re bore of the same evil

The Kavorka 04:29
These laboratory walls no longer shall impede With nowhere left to hide tonight's proceedings must proceed Dawning purpose: The pathogen to span Coerced onward, we'll end as we began: infection Cast from death's peaceful embrace to walk the earth again Acting as a vessel for unraveling the end Wipe out a population which can never comprehend so far beyond the limitations of all mortal men Adept. Silent. Fatal. Faceless. Biology twisted beyond all recognition welcome the father of disease In this wake, all will rot Arcane in origin, exact in all detail Global executioner, molecular in scale Ever evolving, evading cure Reconfiguring the sequence, slaying countless more We will fall Name of infamy unleashed upon a planet thirsting for contagion Never before has science seen such elegance obscured by desperation A frantic search for hope, beneath the microscope destined for futility We hear not the beckoning of pestilence into our fetid graves Filth-ridden aura encapsulates Malignant tarnish concluding history linked by an omnipresent thread This spells the end for us We crumble away, beginning tonight

Descent 05:10
There is no concept of final, your journey's just begun Hear the wailing of your brethren soon you'll join that desolate cacophony No use refusing, I insist Your grievous protests have been spoke The face of knowing hell exists, I so enjoy my work I've witnessed every generation of your kind bargain, scheme, and make excuses as in life, the same revolting spectacle And the river flows with blood One must acknowledge fate Through life you have been judged as treacherous Dragged onward through oblivion Soon to arrive upon the shore This void reviled by ancient tongues Your fate now rests within From the gallows your type arrive reckoning truth in every wave no mortal mind could ever contrive what now awaits beyond the grave Released from earthly time and space received in sanguine ebb and flow afloat in the blackness No grandeur to admire and praise only my wicked smile aglow as the laughter of Phlegethon roars Retribution! Condemned to aeons writhing in fire Terminal judgement: Tartarus awaits Agent of Hades' control Behest of my master to ferry their souls I feed on the fear, calmly careening through thousands of years Down, forgotten, foregone Hereafter cast aflame yet I must travel on (There are others to claim!) Voyage escaping none Fate's threads already spun As it is written, it shall be done
