Your Web 04:27
lyrics
Her voice still calls to me Like a distant dream Buried ‘neath a Thin veneer I scream The decadence of “Love” Took Her away Her innocence was Taken to the grave Rid me of the fire Burning deep within my soul You scarred me with these wounds And let your web of lies unfold Give me back my passion Your cold-blooded sacrifice You raped Her of Her faith in life And left Her strung to hang that night Her jewelled eyes Still glisten in the gloom Moistened from Her Begging mercy of you When the pieces fell Like shards of dripstone stalagmite And your poisoned flock Put to death my only light… I renounce the love of Light And the lies proclaimed Your crusade is unjust And “Love” is hate’s masquerade I beg you, find me guilty Of these occult “crimes” And slay me in cold-blood To be by Her side

The Apocalypse Over My Shoulder 04:06
lyrics
The murmur of war upon the lips of fiends Clandestine plots grown from subtle seeds Blossomed into amorphophallusesque ignominy Too late to turn back from its lethal reach The tick-tock of the doomsday clock Creeping ever closer to the final stop Harbingers of death vaunt in utter delight As mass fear and panic begin to spread worldwide The incredulous urge us, “Come to the light!” And as the darkest days roll out overhead We mourn in silence upon our tragic end This is not the final countdown we expected to face Empires rise and Empires fool All beneath in droves and even those who rule Either readily or once consumed by greed Self deceit appeals more than reality With heavy heart and enervated sigh We succumb to disquietude before the eternal night Even the incessant Rapturephiles quieten down In a reflective moment before certain death We curse the antiquated past we were unable to shed A flat finale for this series of unfortunate events At the end of days as the fires rained down And decimated ruins were left to smoulder We watched it all burn, crashing down around us Amidst the choking smoke and sulphurous odour And I distinctly remember the last words, you asked: “How did your temperament become so much colder?” And my answer to you? To turn my back and walk away From the apocalypse over my shoulder... The clingers on steadily drop like flies As we near the fiery, fissured finish line A choir of whistling missiles bid us adieu A thickening haze suffocates the world Still we try to place blame whilst our brethren burn This was not how we envisioned our own demise Yet the thunder rumbles on without respite Catastrophic repercussions erupt across fault lines All bridges both figurative and literal burned As time runs out and our fractured planet is hurled Like a vexatious pest swatted from the universe There is reasonable doubt our lesson was ever truly learnt...

MGHMMVI 04:22
lyrics
Midnight chimes ring out again Beckoning the twisted nightmares to descend Upon me and deep into my mind To prey upon stray rays of hope left dying inside... My gothic heart cries to be set free From darkness (my mistress), and her reverie I yearn to feel pure rays upon my skin To forget the brooding shadow brewing sin... Somewhere I know you hold the key The sacred prose, the words to set me free Wolves cry unto the moon outside Calling their brethren to take my life Will you help bring about my demise As they tear my flesh and feast on me tonight? My gothic heart cries to be released Before darkness reaches out her hand to me Will she take me deep into the night To forget the love, the torch that burnt so bright?

Reptile (The Church Cover) 04:45
lyrics
Too dangerous to keep Too feeble to let go And you want to bite the hand Should have stopped this long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be gorging on me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your scales Your flickering tongue and your rattling tail Like a real reptile Had you coiled around my arm How could you ever know How I loved your Autumnal eyes? But that was long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your scales Your flickering tongue and your rattling tail Like a real reptile And I should have believed Eve When she said we had to go She was the apple of my eye It wasn't long ago

Jagged Pieces 04:33
lyrics
With moonlight as the only guide We wander side by side The silence growing deafening I dare not catch your eye The bluish hues surround us Casting shadows on our shame To mask our true expressions… Our journey has led us this far Into the murky dark unknown Casting out the doubts, we hide Together, never more alone Despite our best intentions Every effort remains in vain All the trampled, jagged pieces Can never fit back together again Time rolls ever on regardless of The shards left in our open wounds Winding on through all the noise And the silent ones gone far too soon Memories left, fading away A cruel mockery this mortal game So claim a draw whilst it’s there to breathe Then bury the regrets with the rest of me But until that day dawns it’s final rays We will close that tome on an empty page With moonlight as the only guide We wander side by side The silence growing deafening I dare not catch your eye The bluish hues surround us Casting shadows on our shame To mask our true expressions: Empty, shallow, grave We continue upon this path The far less travelled road Passing by the warning signs, still blind To the destination unknown In spite of our best efforts The outcome remains the same All the fractured, jagged pieces Left in the wake of our mistakes... So little left, traded away For a handful of scars, ancient runes Yet we still convince ourselves in the dead of the night All the lies that we wish would come true The brooding moonlight’s soothing light A spotlight on the scene Of the long dark night of the soulless Succumbing to the need The prose tinted glasses shattered Revealing the endgame Expressionless we walk away Empty, shallow, grave Every dead end diverted Still the sequence remains unbreached Passing by our past mistakes and ties All our vanquished hopes and dreams… Despite our best intentions Every effort remains in vain All the trampled, jagged pieces Can never fit back together again In spite of our best efforts The outcome remains the same All the fractured, jagged pieces Left in the wake of our mistakes...

I, The Samhain Feast 03:29
lyrics
Candles flicker guiding me Through the rusted iron gates Licking in the soaring winds Dancing with enchanting grace The ground beneath my feet heaves Shifting, rifting, splayed As I move along the undead throng Beneath me in their graves I see glimpses of them From their monoliths and tombs Their claws grate heavily against The ancient marbled ruins I hear their sinister laughter Echo through the starlit night I see their shifting shapes and shadows Sweeping through the isles Creeping through the cemetery Passing by the burial mounds The wind carries ghastly laments Whispering their depraved sounds Peering through the cobwebs And the twisted branches of the trees Stumbling across the demonic rites On the night of a Samhain feast Scaled Sins tear at my skin Passing me through many hands Taking me and taunting me Preparing their torturous plans Skulls litter their lair Alongside rats and broken bones No matter how loud my screams resound I cannot surpass their moans The candles are snuffed at once With a final tempestuous blow They clamber with their cobwebbed toes Into their abode below ​Sacrificed to Devils I see their festive fires light Frightening figures of fervent Evil Ushering my demise ​Congregated Demons With red eyes stare right through me Chanting dark and twisted words At I, the Samhain feast... ​ ...I, the Samhain feast!

Truth Despoiler 05:16
lyrics
It is never far away That stalking, ever creeping dread Embodied by the venomous Cretinous shadow which lies in wait... Peer into my eyes and ponder What goes on inside my mind How the cogs whir counterclockwise And lines are crossed, borders intertwined Where truth meets with pure malice My warped reality gestates Forgoing fact for fallacy The difference soon dissipates ​The rumour mill keeps churning Rotting from inside Listening intently For the bavardage it seeks They’ll never learn Or see through the disguise Lapping up all falsities The truth despoiler speaks It feeds upon attention That fiendish force of malevolence Engorging itself on tension It is he who tugs upon the thread... Hear me now willing fodder As I lay this long, plotted path of lies A trail that winds deep into the trees With the forest lost to those inside Wherein truth becomes obsolete My deceit is free to manifest Befouling all fact with fallacy For those ensnared within to ingest Don’t… look… into… its eyes Don’t… believe… the fables… the lies Watch... out… for the web… it weaves Choke it... deny it… the putrid air… it breathes...
