The Temple
04:39
|
|||
|
Hallowed halls, lost in time
Hidden from the minds of men
Summoning and sacrifice
To see the rite performed
Zealous energy, rapturous might
Brought to the place and time
Trembling excitment, unrestrained
In the ancient pyramid
Swallowed by the aeons
Enveloped by the ages
The Temple feels fresh blood
Spilled for The Coming Call
Uncovering secrets lost to man
Unearthing the focal point
Lost in the dark and twisted wilds
Slicing through the jungle growth
Protected by Black Tourmaline
By turquoise and by jade
The ancients delved and laid the plans
Leading to this moment
Swallowed by the aeons
Enveloped by the ages
The Temple feels fresh blood
Spilled for The Coming Call
Blinding flashes flay the dark
With colors uncomprehendable
Voices rise in chanting praise
The moment drawing near
The rite disrupted by The Silent Ones
The trap, it goes un-noticed
Their minds corrupted, shown the truth
The Temple, the time is come
Swallowed by the aeons
Enveloped by the ages
The Temple feels fresh blood
Spilled for The Coming Call

Truth
05:14
|
|||
|
In the abyss of ancient echoes, she listens,
To languages, whispered by the void, glistening.
Scriptures of chaos, written in celestial scars,
She reads the terrible truths hidden in the stars.
In the realms of the unknown, she seeks to understand,
Dancing with the shadows, she extends a trembling hand.
But the veil, once lifted, reveals the monstrous sight,
Of realities incomprehensible, drowning her in fright.
Through the corridors of madness, she treads lightly,
Where the walls whisper secrets, sinuously, slightly.
Babbling words of lunacy, a symphony of despair,
She’s entrapped in the melody, lost in the snare.
In the realms of the unknown, she seeks to understand,
Dancing with the shadows, she extends a trembling hand.
But the veil, once lifted, reveals the monstrous sight,
Of realities incomprehensible, drowning her in fright.
A seeker, she was, of the truths mankind should flee,
Now a harbinger of doom, she whispers what should not be.
In her eyes, the abyss gazes back, endlessly deep,
As she mutters the dark secrets that she’s sworn to keep.
The world transforms around her, a grotesque metamorphosis,
As she becomes the conduit of an eldritch apocalypse.
The stars align in patterns of malevolent design,
As she surrenders to the madness, their fates entwine.
In the realms of the unknown, she sought to understand,
Dancing with the shadows, she extended a trembling hand.
But the veil, once lifted, revealed the monstrous sight,
Of realities incomprehensible, drowning us in fright.
In the echoes of her madness, we hear the distant cries,
Of worlds beyond our comprehension, under alien skies.
She has become the key, the gateway to the abyss,
And through her, the eldritch horrors slither into our midst.

Together
04:07
|
|||
|
The world tilts towards the edge
Of the path we will
Secrets lost to time and reclaimed
Burn within our minds
Together we raze the future
Together we raise the end
Together our plans solidify
Together our spite is fed
Since our meeting nothing blocks
The path we will
Knowledge gained in blood and darkness
Burns within our minds
Together we raze the world
Together we raise the veil
Together our plans progress
Together our laughter screams
Hearts of molten brimstone cry
For the path we will
Smiting unreality dashes forth and
Burns within our minds
Together we raze mankind
Together we raise the blade
Together our plans coalesce
Together, our madness ascends

Planning The Final Act
04:24
|
|||
|
Sealed with the sacrifice
Of personal worth
Forged for the path
El Camino Oscuro
The motion eclipses
The need for all else
Fanatical elation rises
With the moment drawing near
Signs point towards the task
To be completed by The True
Melding the minds together
For the coming of The New Star's dawn
The molding of reality
Into the formless shapes
Irrationality splays the tendrils
Towards the coming age
Thoughts to materialize
Planning the final act
Whispers from the beyond
Tease them from their slumber
Signs point towards the task
To be completed by The True
Melding the minds together
For the coming of The New Star's dawn
Manipulation of their acts
Consternation in their hearts
Puzzle pieces fall into place
A destiny of cataclysmic change

Awaiting The Moments
04:13
|
|||
|
Shepherding the flowing tangle
Of actions that antedate the rite
That fills the devoted heart
The Road fully unobscured
Implicit movements of the acts
The surging of The Will
The knot of chaos intensifies
With anticipation
She breathes, awaiting the moments
She screams into the night
Fiery blood cascades in her veins
Her path our Darkened Road
Secluded in the deathly quiet
Hidden from the light
Frozen in the moment
By a voice beyond our world
Stillness in the bedlam
While raging in the storm
Bringing the conclusion to the fore
Guiding us on The Path
She breathes, awaiting the moments
She sings into the night
Fiery blood cascades in her veins
Her path our Darkened Road
Serpentine and alluring
Horrific and appealing
Terrifying and seductive
Empowering and Destructive
Laughing at the nightmares
Of those about to dream
Knowing the final moments
For what they are to be
Knowledge and madness meld
Into a perfect, eldritch mind
In her smile lies the end of man
In beauteous perfect form
She breathes, awaiting the moments
She laughs into the night
Fiery blood cascades in her veins
Her path our Darkened Road

Obscuring The Road
05:26
|
|||
|
In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
"The Hidden Road" does lie.
With starlit eyes, beneath the skies,
Their chants ascend on high.
Through twisted gate, they weave their fate,
In silence, schemes take wing.
No mortal knows, where darkness flows,
Nor of the dread they bring.
"Obscuring the Road",
In whispers and codes.
A world unaware,
In the cultists' lair.
"Obscuring the Road",
Where dark dreams are sowed.
The cosmos will bend,
At their journey's end.
In halls of stone, with minds overthrown,
Their thralls in masks, enslaved.
With every breath, they court their death,
In depths of night, depraved.
They seek the arts, of blackened hearts,
To beckon gods unseen.
In shadows' thrall, they work the fall,
Of realms that might have been.
"Obscuring the Road",
In whispers and codes.
A world unaware,
In the cultists' lair.
"Obscuring the Road",
Where dark dreams are sowed.
The cosmos will bend,
At their journey's end.
Beneath the moon's pale, sickly swoon,
Their rituals unfold.
With words unsaid, and symbols dread,
A sinister plot they mold.
Through politics, and dagger tricks,
They plot their silent war.
With each life taken, foundations shaken,
They open the forbidden door.
In rituals old, with fervor bold,
They chant to rend the veil.
In cosmic dance, they seek the chance,
To let their gods prevail.
"Obscuring the Road",
In whispers and codes.
A world unaware,
In the cultists' lair.
"Obscuring the Road",
Where dark dreams are sowed.
The cosmos will bend,
At their journey's end.

Descending into the depths
The waves rage above, unheard
The light seeps down, obscured
The moment of The Call approaches
Allies sally forth, intent
The sacrifices put in place
The words of summoning prepared
The devoted ready the rite
The Silent approach the breach
Toys for our manipulation
The path they walk, unbreakable
The path we walk, predestined
Humoured by their attempts
Their unintended works, inept
Their frustrated failure, maledroit
We guide them on The Road
Their allies our malleable puppets
Our allies our tools, unbeknownst
Their minds are frayed, uncomprehending
We steer them towards The Darkness
The Silent approach the breach
Toys for our manipulation
The path they walk, unbreakable
The path we walk, predestined
Guided to The Darkened Road
Unaware that they are the key
In the depths the call has been silenced
Before it can be cast to The Maelstrom

The Laughing Gods Erupt
04:45
|
|||
|
Trembling lips, a righteous rage
A scream into the night
Echoes from an unseen mind
Measuring the words and worth
The eyes of the harrowed stare
A road paved with manic hate
Feel the thoughts careen
Into your withered soul
The power of the aetheric tides
Spelling doom to the world
The laughing gods erupt
Upon the landscape of our dying world
Minds align in focused thought
Combining the energies
To bring forth the endless night
Towering nightmares pulled, screaming
into our reality
An end... and a beginning
Feel the thoughts careen
Into your withered soul
The power of the aetheric tides
Spelling doom to the world
The laughing gods erupt
Upon the landscape of our dying world
Maddened urges, tempestuous needs
A call into the maelstrom
Echoes from an unhinged mind
Words and worth, and blood and fire
Gleaming of the zealous stare
Opening of the door
Feel the thoughts careen
Into your withered soul
The power of the aetheric tides
Spelling doom to the world
The laughing gods erupt
Upon the landscape of our dying world

A sound beyond the realm of death,
Reverberations against the walls
Of the thin, pale lines drawn
In the mapping of the Maelstrom
Turbulent wafting of the feelings
That surround the livid wound
Seeks to open unto the Rational
Depriving it of reason
Struggles against the madness
Thrown from the fetid thoughts
The minds of those that hear bleed
Sibilant Whispers in the Void
The sacred anguish justifies
The felling of the masses
Careening through the chaos
The Designates lost
Further treachery and Divergence
Mix into the battlefield
The dead condemned to die again
The sentries extinguished
Struggles against the inevitable
Thrown into the fetid silence
The minds of those that hear bleed
Sibilant Whispers in the Void
Struggles against the madness
Thrown from the fetid thoughts
The minds of those that hear bleed
Sibilant Whispers in the Void
Falling off the edge
Into the endless emptiness
They know defeat
Within their being
Close the doors
To the last semblance of order
The Ordinal Stone
Corrupted

An End To The Conundrum?
04:51
|
|||
|
The befouled eye falls upon the world
A baleful sign of more to come
Lost in horrors, unknowable
Hiding, hopeless, terrified
Pockets of sanity
Strewn amongst the dying light
Hiding the ones that resist
The coming of Lamentation
Profane forms of nightmares feed
Upon the last left alive
Minds corrupted and transformed
Chaos forever to prevail
Dedicated to the reversal
Of the cataclysmic end
The few that press forward into
The morass of eternity
Powers beyond the reach of thought
Grip the world, unending
Hope fades to a whisp of smoke
Within a raging storm
Profane forms of nightmares feed
Upon the last to try
Minds corrupted and released
Chaos forever to reign
Profane forms of nightmares feed
Upon the last, struggling breath
Minds corrupted and destroyed
An end to the Conundrum?
