Dismantle the laws of humanity
Dissipating the hope of a future for man
The vitality of life quivers in a distance
While an affliction overcomes the nucleus
Of a dilapidated empire from the past
A memory of existence animates the dying mind
The ensuing time ahead is not promised to anyone
Take what they want from it and use it to prevail
Beyond a recollection of any maladies
The mind will collapse
And eventually time will lapse
A memory of existence animates the dying mind
The ensuing time ahead is not promised to anyone
The shades of time are all but a memory
We only live life once
But we still take things for granted
The aftermath of disease
Compels and surrounds me
Always suffocating
Drowning in misery
Daybreak until nightfall
I wonder where life's gone
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine to bring me to my knees
Sometimes immunity is the best medicine of all
Always in my heart I surely do feel the tight squeeze
Help me to remember what I forget every day
Daybreak until nightfall
I wonder where life's gone
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine to bring me to my knees
Sometimes immunity is the best medicine of all
Always in my heart I surely do feel the tight squeeze
Help me to remember what I forget every day
The aftermath of disease
Compels and surrounds me
Always suffocating
Drowning in misery
The aftermath of disease
Compels and surrounds me
Always suffocating
Drowning in misery

Pestilence Of Carnage

An epidemic plague enslaves the land
Feeble organs are in our hands
Nuclear winds forever blowing
Dead men to the graveyard going
Doctors raving and disputing
Doctors raving and disputing
Death's pale army still recruiting
A sacrifice
Of those that are meaningless in the void
A sacrifice
A cleansing of the useless in the void
Nature's poisons here collected
Water earth and air infected
The plague of the city has been erected
This last pandemic was supposed to kill
The world would heal if man would only fall
This last pandemic was supposed to kill
The world would heal if man would only fall
A sacrifice
Of those that are meaningless in the void
A sacrifice
A cleansing of the useless in the void
Whatever nature throws at us
We'll try to do the fucking same
The sodomy of all mankind
In the making of our eyes
Death
It is disgusting but we've done it to ourselves
The premonition of insanity
Doesn't matter because we will go
Into the depths of oblivion
Whatever nature throws at us
We'll try to do the fucking same
The sodomy of all mankind
In the making of our eyes
Whatever nature throws at us
We'll try to do the fucking same
The sodomy of all mankind
In the making of our eyes
A depression of all mankind
An oppression of all the meaningless

Immolation

In the shadows of the dark I see a thick haze
In the shadows of the night of these memories
Are questions of a life
These are reasons to hold on
In the dark she dances
A symbol of perfection
I saw the meaning of a change
In the light of the moon and earth
Was turning in the field of memories
Bury me high onto the gallows
In a land between the waves
Every day you fought the pain once more
You tried again but after time it dragged you down
Darkness was all around the storm will always pass
It won't last forever
In the dark she dances
A symbol of perfection
An angel of disease she always took us there
As we followed blindly into the depths of sickness
We never knew the way out
And this hell the fire that grew between the eyes
The depression that loomed between
A fascination of the unknown time ahead
In the light of a pale blue sky of the moon and earth
Was turning in the field of memories
Bury me high onto the gallows
In a land between the waves
Every day you fought the pain once more
You tried again but after time it dragged you down
Darkness was all around the storm will always pass
It won't last forever
In the dark she dances
A symbol of perfection
An angel of disease she always took us there
In the dark she dances
A symbol of perfection
An angel of disease she always took us there

It can kill this feeling beneath your soul
When you've paid your dues
It's still death by toll
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there
I do not sleep
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the glint in the snow
Death be not proud
Even if you have been called upon
Reaper stand clear on this day
Embodiment has not called
The plague of existence shall continue on this day
The crimson sky has fallen on this pale horizon
Casting a shadow to the rapture beneath
Encasing the ashes of a fallen kingdom
Communion with her visible forms she speaks with
This one belongs on the list of her own beautiful merits
Her sins cannot be erased
Sometimes it's death by toll
And you have no say in that
But if you try to go to hell and back
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there
I do not sleep
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the glint in the snow
Death be not proud
Even if you have been called upon
Encasing the ashes of a fallen kingdom
Communion with her visible forms she speaks with
This one belongs on the list of her own beautiful merits
Her sins cannot be erased
Sometimes it's death by toll
And you have no say in that
But if you try to go to hell and back
To hell and back

Scorched Earth

I visualize a silent scream in which the mind will ride
Coming from your soul a scream of malice and terror
Darkness often speaks what this earth cannot fathom
Jaded measures fueled by this desire
Comprehension of these things is beyond the mental grasp of most
I ingest your screams as if they are my only nourishment
Keep screaming and feed the part of me that starves
This military strategy that only aims to destroy
Anything that might be useful to the enemy serves no benefit
Cursed we are in the dying of this light
That burns beneath the eyes
A salvation encased between the ashes
A malocchio that devastates the mind
Cursed we are in the dying of this light
That burns beneath the eyes
A salvation encased between the ashes
A malocchio that devastates the mind
This lovely color of life will be no longer
If we continue this insanity
But it doesn't matter what us peasants do
This earth will take it's fucking course
With no remorse
Don't try to provoke just realize death is salvation
They don't care that what's happening serves no purpose
Except to fulfill their own greed
This lovely color of life will be no longer
If we continue this insanity
But it doesn't matter what us peasants do
This earth will take it's fucking course
With no remorse
Cursed we are in the dying of this light
That burns beneath the eyes
A salvation encased between the ashes
A malocchio that devastates the mind
Cursed we are in the dying of this light
That burns beneath the eyes
A salvation encased between the ashes
A malocchio that devastates the mind
Don't try to provoke just realize death is salvation
They don't care that what's happening serves no purpose
Except to fulfill their own greed
With no remorse
