Be safe my foundlings
Stowaway through terrors in the night
Breathe only essentials
You bear a wicked plight
See the carriage and the plumes
A grey cap in the afternoon
Like a drum rows and lines
They always said there would come a time
Oh I wonder why oh why
It’s a case of do or die
Oh I wonder why oh why
Split through the earth and sky
Cataclysmic
Degradation
Useless
Lamentation
They passed it’s only noon
Auxiliaries will be here soon
Ladened fate here’s my brother
Strewn apart like my mother
Bare arms and take the tags
Wrap the wounds in the dirty rags
Take your stand over that crest
Until you take one to the chest
Oh I wonder why oh why
It’s a case of do or die
Oh I wonder why oh why
Split through the earth and sky
Cataclysmic
Degradation
Useless
Lamentation
It hurts to breathe
Quite now
Growing cold
Quiet now

Masking Cloak of Death
Chlorine brings the end
Upright husks of trees
Scoured across the land
Fire in the distance
Machine guns make their sound
The Fog draws ever closer
Stay off the ground
Choke, Choke on Miasma
Feel the Smoke crawl down your lungs
How I ended up here
Ghosts only know
Evil cloud draws nearer
Masks only for show
Cannons make their fire
They march to their drums
Fog upon me now
Acid burns my lungs
Choke, Choke on Miasma
Feel the Smoke dissolve your lungs
Croak, Croak out your asthma
Yellow cloak, scours the land
Choke
Choke
Choke

Hate me
Berate me
Betray me
Denigrate me
Lost in translation
Ever hid underground
And sing my damnation
Whispers without a sound
So come be free
Let your anger control and corrupt you
If you listen to me
You'll get in your own way again
(Hate me) Leave me there to die
(Berate me) Make me wonder why
(Betray me) Hang me out to dry
Denigrate me
Let me breath
Keep your conscience away from me
Accursedly
There's invaders at the gates
Verbal Crime
Out of time
Lead Astray
Cast Away
With another turning of the screw
You are only scorning what you knew
And now you're washed away
In fields of gray
Hate me
Berate me
Betray me
Denigrate me
(Hate me) Leave me there to die
(Berate me) Make me wonder why
(Betray me) Hang me out to dry
Denigrate me

Necromancy

Lurking Aimless
Wandering
Back on this mortal plane again
Feeling painless
Conjuring
Enthralled against my will again
Suffer masters
Suffer fools
Suffer death no more
Rake the body
Rend the flesh
As he takes us to war
Drop your hold on me
Foul necromancy
Drop your hold on me
Force of evil
Conquering
Immortal flesh from a major sin
Storm the village
Invading
Taking wealth from my former kin
Fallen army
Back to life
Dealing death at my hands
I'm a prisoner
Once again
And a scourge on these lands
Drop your hold on me
Foul necromancy
Drop your hold on me
Winged Fire
Burning red in the Sky
Come to take my master's gold
Oh, blessed Fire
Burning bright in the sky
Oh, cleansing Fire, take me home

The Masamune

Breach the pustules and the bark
Haralds horn bellows hark
To the core the beautiful city brings
A testament to the shattering
Oh I wish Alexander was here
A boisterous hero with nothing to fear
In a land where time did discard
We clashed blades and now he's a shard
Snowy caps
These fallen titanous peaks
Are shifting weightlessly
As invisible daggers cut
I've bested bloodied lords
And fallen star held hordes
I've seen failure before
But nothing like what's to come
Avatars guard the glory you have sought
These swift cruel knights of glory and rot
In the palace of blood, the boy lay blistered
Now into the heart to claim the sister
Flowing golden shimmering pollen
lightly grace with a glistening waves
Winged helm water dancing through the flame
Facing master of the stars and his redmanes
In Pestilence
The Flower Blooms
Rotten Beauty
Oh The Masamune
I've brought down the stars see betwixt a crimson skyline
Seeking knowledge of the stones and the cosmic birth
And for what its worth
I have claimed every memory to get to her
This Unalloyed Gold
Blood of Gods
This withered craftsmanship
Creates
Prosthesis
Blindsword Taught
Within the Haeligtree
You Fall
Die

The Flock
02:57

Heed these parables
Wicked viper's tongue
I am your blessed savior
the Trinity has come
Link your mind and flesh
Bloodied eyes attest
Take this sacred rock
Let the smoke do the rest
As your mind's in a shock
Betwixt our flesh
We see Earth rot
Dispatch the rest
We are the Flock
Arms to armor
Sinew puss and bone
None can do us harm
We are not alone
We are legions worth
But we are one
Swallowing the Earth
Enlightening everyone
LUMBERING FLESH OF BONE AND MIND
LINKING THE ETHER THROUGH SPACE AND TIME
ONE BY ONE FLESH GLUED LIKE STONE
ONE ABERRANT MIND TOGETHER AND ALONE
Betwixt our flesh
We see Earth rot
Dispatch the rest
We are the Flock

The River Styx

Meet me down by the riverside
I will show you what you hide
Running away in a nameless fear
Living in a daydream, true intentions unclear
Hunting, writhing, living, dying
I have watched you all make your Sins
Breathing, thriving, breaking, crying,
A list of woes where all of it begins
You can't believe yourself (believe yourself)
You can't escape the reaper
I will be waiting here
Ready to toll the dead
Avarice of many against the needs of the few
Inverted expectations, true delusion calling you.
Seeking resolution for desires unbelieved
Hear the bells are calling, No blood or justice received
Are you Mine?
Valentine?
Or Lost in time?
Limiting, comforting, distancing, with you
All I see, whispering, bleed for me, did you
Eternity, blasphemy, devilry, lies you told
Will you, ever, live again?
See the signs
The great decline
Time to die
oh!
You can't believe yourself (believe yourself)
You can't escape the reaper
I will be waiting here
Ready to toll the dead
