A God's Gambit

I am the king of kings and your creator
I found you from the dirt
A bargain must be made
Can you handle the price
Picked up from the filth, Your weakness is plain
Your birth a cruelty, like the rest
You are a slave, Pathetic in your submission
To these petty Kings and mindless chattel
I would see their blood in the streets
Blood in the streets
Your once linear path in life is done
Now, your choice is to
Now, your choice is to
inflict your desires
Or suffer life's afflictions
My first gift
I gift to thee
No red mist
But a tide descends
Over thine eyes
Flesh From their bones you rend
Your masters flee before you
No road is safe
I will give you more
Power beyond
Forget the price
No longer bowed before your gaolers
Wholesale slaughter must begin
Be their saviour and their general
The sanguine shrine calls
The plebs willl smash their cage at your call
Killing each other and themselves for evermore
Shower blood into my chalice
Their organs are my crown
I will give you the tools of annihilation
To eviscerate soul from form
So many yet to tear asunder
Liquidating their mortal shells
Pouring death Upon my altar
Now it's time
For my final gift
All shall tremble at my visage in your being
With this you shall be legion
The earth herself, will bow to you
Not even nature can reclaim this world
This is not for you
It's mine
I bask in glory
Now the debt comes due
Gifts are never freely given
You are nothing more than a dog of war
Through your actions, eternal praise derived
A destiny destined
Nothing left for you but death
You are pathetic in your submission

Visions Of Death
06:34

I will show them
What it means
To suffer in torment
What has happened
To mine eyes
All I can see
Are these visions
Visions of
Death
Why
Why has this happened to me
1000 times I've been
Shown my demise
Surely they lie
Surely they
Lie
It is no lie
You are not deceived
You were chosen to receive
A view of what may befall you
You will never be sure
Who is friend or foe
Your sight is mine
As I feed on your despair
Mine eyes are not my own
No more can I trust what I see
For all I can see
Are these visions
Visions of
Death
Why has this happened to me
1000 times I've been
Shown my demise
Surely they lie
Surely they
Lie
I am in love with the visions
The sweet taste of death
Your words mean nothing
So save your breath
Save your breath
I am in love with the visions
I wish I was blind
The sweet taste of death
My world is no longer my own
Your words mean nothing
So save your breath
Watching, always approaching
He watches me drown
As I scream for air
Is this my fate?
No
This is esctasy to me.
I need you only for this
Your sight is forfeit so I may
Feed on your unbridled fear
The horse has bolted
The ship has sailed
In all realities and worlds you have failed
You have always been mine
Your eyes have always been mine
No
How can this be
I am me
My eyes are my own
Or maybe they're not
Why
Why has this happened to me
1000 times I've been
Shown my demise
Surely they lie
I don't think they lie
I have seen the knife twist
Time and time again
I have had my fill
I have felt the knife twist
Time and time again
The fires sear flesh
The whips lash tendons
I have seen him drown
Watched his body scream for air
He begged me to stop
Did you hear His screams
They are yours
Reality will cease to be
Can you hear the screams
They are yours
They are yours

The Void Awaits
02:33
|
|||
Aimless wandering through lonesome fields
Once called home
Built on burning ashes of those who walked before me
Deceived by great treasure
We'll all meet our fate
When we least expect
The end soon calling
Sorrowful demise
I lay down my arms and embrace the void
Tormented by senseless existence
The birth of the final cessation
In the grail of purpose I drown
Writing my never ending epilogue
Miscarriage of unfruitful perfection
I leave nothing but the promise of a better life
My sins, my wrongings, my hatred
Left me cold and longing to die
Take my hand
Step into the void
As it awaits
The end now calls for
Sorrowful demise
Let's lay down our arms and embrace the void
Tormented by senseless existence
It's the birth of the final cessation
The void awaits our befoul-ed souls

Ghost Eater

You have come through the void
But where is the fanfare
Did you think that angels awaited you
Only further joy for me
I devour that which you cannot see
My thirst unquenchable, desire unchained
Your loved ones die, but can never sleep
As life eternal becomes a
nightmare, oh so deep
From squalor to abject fear
Death is no saving grace from terror
As the wandering dead run for their lives
I wonder the void
The space between
All who expire come here
To truly meet their end.
My journey takes me
Nowhere and all places at once
From the heart of a star
To the most desolate of holes
Neither god or mortal are safe
My quietus is the true demise of the Soul.
They go deeper seeking shelter
And I shall be there
When they do
You think they feel no pain
Oh just wait
They have come seeking solace
From torturous lives
Death is the ultimate end
Or so they thought
All those unborn, dead and living
Will never escape my un-ending thirst.
No-one can escape
Death is not the end
Death is not the end
Suffering eternal
Death is not the end
They shall be consumed
Life after death is a lie
Their souls eviscerated
A spectral feast
No heaven at all
You can offer no resistance
You were destined for me
My hunger is voracious
Your ghost, your soul
Will be devoured
If you do escape, take this message back
And die

Celestial Defilement
04:11
|
|||
My domain is endless
Yet you are so contained
Such promise
Only to be sullied by my hands
In a nebula they have grown
Their fate is as a whores
As if you can ever escape
I promise you this is it
Your purity and your light
Will be degraded
A black hole is as nothing to how
I will diminish you
Debasing you for pure pleasure
Is what it means to be born a
Star
In this realm
All the light wanes
When faced with me
I degrade and consume
All before me
You can never understand
Watching the shine drain from their souls
The intensity of their struggle
Stars do not appear to feel
But I have
Seen their pain
They wish to burn bright
Bringing life and joy
My transcendence means
That this wish is denied
Life giving to wishing yours could end
This is not for you to decide
Oh, why me
They cry
We are not born with choice
The powerful
will always rule
And here
There is no else but me
I am the only one
To see your defilement
Degradation
The pollution of your purity
That is for me and for me alone
Do you understand
What is happening
You have been born
To a fate inconceivable
Something once worshipped
By humankind
Now taken for granted
And left to my desires
Why do they continue
To produce and multiply
They surely know I await them
In the dark
In fields of gold they shine
My shadow always present
Yet still they try
When a human looks into the sky
They will see your beauty
But you will know what you truly are
The poisoned chalice from which I sip
If you believe that you can escape
The bonds of gravity
You cannot
Perhaps you hope you are not born again
Except everything returns to the stars
And to me
The celestial, home to gods
Despite its boundless space
You cannot escape
Me and my loving
Embrace
I will never stop
My thirst is unending
The worlds and stars
My concubines
I will never stop
My thirst is unending
The universe is my palace of
Depravity
