Conduit 01:04
Awaken They shall be faceless wraiths Untainted demons They shall breed nightmare They shall be apostles of the night The Knightbreed; demon seed They shall be archangels of apocalypse Awake Demons They shall take the form of snakes Untainted wraiths They shall take the form of snakes and crawl into the night Think and they shall be Speak and they shall breathe

Void 01:46
Feed them the dawning tale of meaning This operation shall awaken the decent Fake relish their pieces Embellish the reason Set talons to bleed them And damage the seasoning Feed them the yawning ale Disease now means nothing to them Fake polish their faces Hateful adoration Abolish the layers of taste built beneath their shit Favorite flavours Oh, if the enemy could taste its wings Savouring flavours Until the enemy dissolves Soulless hordes Contorted forms They gorge Oh, misery Would they sing to be saved? Consuming life They have tried to feed the void But failed

Forcefed 01:11
They perform Flux osmosis intravenous They’re pitiful Do they celebrate reincarnation? They want to seep through the body with a- “wakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawaka” “Give us your soul!!” “wakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawakawaka” “Give us your soul!! – Give us your soul!!” Revel the persuasion of the taste “Give us your soul!!” Revel the invasion of the state “Give us your soul!! – Give us you soul!!” Hey princess Quit breathing They clipped the wind Poignant plus There could be more of us fighting destiny We’ll take a vacation in the morning Breakfast in the morning Breakfast in the morning Breakfast in the morning Everything is everything and nothing is a metaphor for life But they’ll never take the soul through osmosis intravenous They’re pitiful Do they celebrate reincarnation? They want to seep through the body with a knife?

Edge 01:44
The secret is to see the ornaments that fall and rise again Demons crawl between these bloodstained walls Agents of automation; reaping their dreams Ceaseless in fornication But their sacred sun could never see behind black eyes Thank volition Sleepless Like leeches they feed Murdering Djinn as they speak Ageless Archangels beware They always exist on the edge of something Of anything This is the body patrolled Vestibule entrant persuasion Destitute border control Soul immigration of Satan Insolent order reborn Evident headless invasion This is the body reformed To breathe through the water Lest ye be burned The secret is to see the ornaments that rise and fall again Reasons fall beneath these dead stale halls of night Flight monition Destitute border revolt Contamination of Satan This is the body betrothed Satan!

Requiem 01:30
I have wrestled with the best May Heaven be tested A million angels laid to rest But I am mourning My hastiness Too late to be erased A million dead birds My hastiness Too late to be erased A million dead birds laughing For I am nothing without my nemesis

Defiants 02:37
Take heed – They call They take to the brain like ants They feed – They crawl They nest in the head They sleep upon the shores of neverness With the keeper of the horde in heavenly seats Elevated to see surrendered antennas of freedom Still they creep upon the pores of reverence Where the sequence of their calls can never be seen Salivation misleads; mandibles… wait Separation of a wavelength Fixed position; hold transmission till informed This opened vision will be an invitation to be born Relinquished of this penetrating torment They play upon a tone set to beacon beasts Saint mastication; are they destined to be taken to his teeth? Electro magnetic pulse; elevate their being So the effigy can lament his feed Still they pulsate a malevolent beat A revolution in function Assimilation of ordinance ANTS ANTS ANTS Weak creatures Invest in infrasonic vibration Adlib upon its waves Nest revolution be slain Take heed – They call They take to the brain like ants They feed – They crawl They nest in the head

Purpose 01:21
They assume a different shape as they become aware of the cancer that eats at their flesh. A revelation of death and life becomes more than just the pieces of dreams that it was in the beginning of this faceless creation. An anemone breathing; a cancerous wound. Tasteless in form yet faithful to all that it tastes; it remains though it remains insatiable. Wasting its form on the flavourless aura of hatred; born and bred in the incessant cesspool of neverness; it never preyed before it preyed on them. And though it hates them… It will remember them.

Willow 01:09
Why fight the branch that brings life? Are you too weak to feed? Old maple Taste of the trees Their fucking leaves are falling The seeds are forming the blood-sores on their knees When will your punnets reveal the secrets of salvation? Witch fruits; baring bitterness and wine Dissipation of growth stimulation They feed the cancer upon their leaves De-evolution through hope inhalation Now give them the answer they need Look past the war They have burned this place Burned this pattern With this breathing sword They have earned their fate Earned their battle

Oracle 02:49
Who said it would take so many heathens to make a candle? Just so they could see the flame; make its way down a severed spine Swine. Be terror with a razor implanted sideways in that slit terrorist And just wait until you see the darkness; under the diamond Invent an island and see whether it sinks on a bed of fire Isolate the waves and be remade into another’s saviour Death is impenetrable poison; sewn onto the inside of the eyeball Now that’s incentive I’ve always been excited at why so many humans can be Contaminated by another’s nightmare Is that still providence or is this bitch just industry Bleet Bleet The sheep sleep peacefully in their character corrective posture Solemnly blamed but still honoured Within and without my knowledge Now wasn’t that a simple symbolic gesture of sanity? They’re all innocent and lame But when they summon the snake; all their heads shall be taken Fiends; excited by violence the aliens reanimate their kings “And this is why I’ve decided to make waffles, in favour of participating in civilization.” If only they could see what I see

Leech 02:26
Listen to the pulse of the microscopic generation History is repulsed as they commemorate incarceration They’ll get blisters on their knees when contamination breeds Let them preach what they eat as they speak through malevolent teeth Await the leech To be freed from the dreaming deep Evidently neverness lakes leaking Listen to the bold as they coordinate initiation Vestibular assault on the microcosmic instigation An elevation of the war with eviscerated forms Let them fall with their swords as they taunt with malevolent force Await the leech To be freed from the dreaming deep Evidently neverness lakes leaking Empty Feel the deep Its sub-continentally drifting Kneel now; the ordered salvation awaits Free the leech He’s extraordinarily gifted See how the Goddess delays Hearts ablast in his magnificent malevolence Rivers are red, so take the Goddess apart Heathen’s beasts in their manipulative deliverance Goddess fillet only minutes away Ogdru Jahad – Wait for the moment See how the Goddess obeys Azhi Dahaka – Break the world open Seize while the parlour awaits… be fed

Have they surrendered their feet? Have they surrendered their thinking? Have they surrendered their speech? Have they surrendered their being to me? So that they can descend; on the bricks they formed Invasive teachings – Reaching; falling I’ll release their secrets; on the pits they warmed So that they can descend I wonder for the plight of the mortal creatures Evidently damned on the march they lead Never is the saint of these lawful preachers Summoning remand but the brakes are bleeding I wonder what they’ll write with the answer keeling I wonder what they’ll fight when their hands are raw Destination to be scorned I wonder where they’ll sign when they ransom feeling Where will they sleep when their dreams are given life? Have they surrendered everything to me? Have they surrendered to weakness?

Invader 02:46
Bleed for the maggot inside them He is their lie He is breathless bestial enchantment They are the walking prison of angels Shall they continue to seek passage to a modern life? Shall they continue to speak until one of us lacerates their wings? We are the indigo beast An anamorphic calibration of black magick Light ingested, night desensitized He is sentimental waste In the middle of a wasted century He is the sentimental wasteland Obsolete foundation His invasion will awaken To release their sacred secret light Dream to dismember his lies So they can seek Heaven The sacred seat of never Shall they continue to seek passage to a modern life?

Agony 02:16
She parts with the finger-licked lesion Breaking the sheathing with ease Demanding the semen of legions Take rest in the recess beneath Fertilization of demons Ornamentative rape Ovulation preceding to pain The wasted become her waist Celebration of leeches They lay blessed as she came On a blanket of heathens Masturbating Vicoden eyes Spawned from the desolate trench of the uterus line Lysogent raping pathogen child Heartless face adorned Darkness laced with open sores Bastard race befall Dark embrace the never born Her pain forever feeds the deep whenever she breeds Her seed shall leave disease wherever they bleed
