Beware the terrors.
Lurking beneath the sands
Insatiable hunger
For the flesh of man
Towering obelisk
Their wretched feeding grounds
Littered with corpses
Will never be found
Built in their honor
It claws at the burning sky
Contorted and vile
A hideous sight
Serpents of sand
These deserts they rule
Praising old gods
With gifts of firstborns
They will be our end
Yet here we kneel
Offering souls
To false idols
Free to consume
All who wander
Those who are lost
Will become fodder
A grim reminder
We are mere fools
to think that our gods
would answer our calls
Beware the terrors
Lurking beneath the sands
Insatiable hunger
for the flesh of man

Bloodshed

This is our nightmare, turned reality
The flames of war consume us
Immolating our bodies and our souls
Hide within ourselves
Can’t escape this pain
Songs of perish sung in mournful key
Life is snuffed out like a flame
Burning too bright
This is the morbid truth
No god will save you
As we walk toward our doom
The bullets tear through flesh
Vision begins to fade
Deaths grip is tightening
Hear the vulture's cry
Ravaging a war torn nation
The smoke rising high
As the stench fills the air
There is never a winner
This is the morbid truth
No god will save you
Our cries pierce the heavens
Causing torrential downpours
As the devil beckons
We'll bring this hatred to an end.

Vile

The victims of society
Disgusting use of authority
A common plague surrounds us all
Drown in the blood from our downfall
Rotting the mind of the masses
Consuming what consumes you
Living life without passion
A curse that burns like acid
No righteous, or worthy exist
In this place that we call home
Liars and cheaters persist
These demons are well hidden
Vile are all of you
Dramatic lies are what things have come to
This corruption clouding your view
These divisions are what we will cut through
Fear-mongering, ruining value from all that is tragic
Years go by as you search through the havoc; nothing but static
We’re all out of options
We’ve lost our direction
We’ve lost our conscience
Gaze your eyes to the rhetorician
The demons in your vision
Vile are all of you
Dramatic lies are what things have come to
This corruption clouding your view
These divisions are what we will cut through
This world is polluted
You all are the problem
Spread disease
Stay on your knees
You are all worthless to me

Floating; the tide is rising
Nothing to stop me from disappearing
Fighting my will to live
Stronger than the cold beneath my bones
The pressure is crushing me alive
I cannot wait to see whats on the other side
This alien sensation is clouding up my mind
The stark realization
This is where i die
Water
Fills my lungs
Surrounded by darkness
A sense of euphoria
I'm at peace
The pressure is crushing me alive
I cannot wait to see what's on the other side
This alien sensation brings clarity to my mind
I wash ashore
My skin tattered and worn
As they surround, I start to plea “Help me”
The beings cloaked in darkness
Approaching where I lay
They peer at me with empty eyes
A smile made of decay

You fucking traitor
You've been there all along
Thinking you're big shit now but I'll prove you wrong.
I'll cut your throat and watch you bleed.
You better get low or you'll fuckin' see.
Try to take what's mine.
You fucking snake.
You are everything that I fucking hate!
Fucking snake!
How do you live life in the shadows?
Basking in all the lies, you're so fucking awful
I'll cut your throat and watch you bleed.
You better get low or you'll fucking see you'll be six feet deep!
Your existence is worthless!
You fucking snake!
I thought this was real, I was wrong.
You made me feel like I belonged, you proved me wrong.
I thought this was real I was wrong.
Despite everything that I have done, I was just a pawn.
I thought this was real I was wrong.
I only exist for convenience, I won’t play along.
I thought this was real I was wrong…
The lies which you built must be undone!
This time you’ve gone too far.
This will be your downfall.
Your life must come to a bitter end.
You're a snake!
Try to take what's mine, you fucking snake.
You are everything that I fuckin hate.
You fucking snake!

Blinded by fear
Searching for what may destroy us
Traveling deeper into a black abyss
Throughout the years
We have not known
What creatures feast in the dark
What nightmares will we behold
Is there anything or nothing
Where will you be when darkness consumes you
We try to uncover what we do not understand
Desolate anomalies roam this void
What do you see?
Is it nothing
Where will you be when darkness consumes you?
Lay your claim; take what’s yours
Welcome home
The earths been purged
Intangible grasp
Forcing our hands
We can’t escape
Now us the time
Fight or perish
Fates in your hands
It is too late for man to take a stand
Watching your brothers fall victim to these demons
Humanity will become nothing
Useless and abolished
Peace will return to oblivion

There was a man
In a barren wasteland
Left for dead and forgotten
By our eradicators
Breaking free from the rubble
Blood drips from his brow
Searching in the distance
For a sign of help
There was a singular figure
Looking dead into my eyes
Its mouth drenched in blood
From my fallen allies
There it stands
Advancing toward me
Wearing a hollow gaze
Stepping back, I start to plea
But no god can save me
I won’t let you live
Your life has been condemned
The sand will be your tomb
Your reign will come to an end
The creature digs into me
As I impale my destroyer
Blood drips from its teeth
Truly the end is bleak
As it breaks away, shrieking loudly
Mouth breather!
You can’t stop us for we are one
Mouth breather!
There is nothing for you here, there is nothing left
So look into your future, there is only disaster

Hear the children burning
Feel the embers
People know we're returning
For our blood, they are yearning
Harvesting power of the darkness
We levitate through the trees
The stench of death in the distance
Spreading like disease
The snapped necks echo
Colliding with resounding wails
My head inside the hangman's noose
They wanna see me rot in hell
See their lives pass before you
Embrace the change
On this sabbath so horrid
Villages burned, set aflame
You've become predator
And they the prey
Sense their fear
They will not doubt your power
When they're on their knees
We are purity’s nemesis
We’re born of anti-divine
No trial, no jury
We pass judgement and siphon your life
Retribution
Of most sadistic kind
Endless butchering
No one survives
On this sabbath so horrid
Villages burned, set aflame
You've become predator
And they the prey
Sense their fear
They will not doubt your power
When they're on their knees
Make them suffer!

Tierra Muerta

Writhing corpses gaze upon us, soulless and empty
The plague swarming in, rips us down like the currents of the sea
Our cries fall onto their deaf ears
As they continue to rip and tear
Bloodshot eyes and twisted spines
The army of the rotten grows near
Try to hide, to stay silent
I sense their hunger in the atmosphere
Board the windows and block the doors
It seems like a senseless effort
When all they do is take what we hold dear
Surrender now; the end is here
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
A ghoul infestation
Limits are tested
The bite makes you sick
Body is broken
Say your goodbyes
To the mortal world
Take your last breath
The hunger grows
You're one them
A rotten mind
A ravenous soul
I arise into my new life
And find all that once was has come to an end
There’s blood in my eyes
There’s blood on my hands
The man you once knew is gone
The mind you search for has been lost
I have a thirst that can’t be quenched
An animal instinct that is causing me to do this.
To murder and consume the innocent.

To Elysium

The time has come to be set free my children
For I will help you change the world
Dark days are ahead of us
The earth is a blackened-shell
To cleanse this world we must remove ourselves
Planetary infection called the human race
Restore the nature we’ve torn away with greed
Destroy the monsters we've evolved to be
Infection will reign supreme in this dying resistance
Endeavors will never come to fruition
Demise creeps like a sickness
To cleanse this world we must remove ourselves
Planetary infection called the human race
Bring back the nature we tore away with greed
Destroy the monsters we're made out to be
City by city we watch them fall
Crumbling metropolis, scattered corpses still warm
Family by family share their last meal
Horrid convulsions, our death will lead her to heal
The blisters will burst
Curing the hatred, and eternal war
The winds will rid her of this curse
Oceans will carry away the eyesores
Leaving behind no trace of the monstrosity
Mother Gaia
Infected no more
Left alone to tend to her wounds
We depart our work here is done
To transcend to Elysium
