Infernal Incarnation On the mistveiled peak of the Sentinel Hill Among scattered remains of the past An unholy vow has been pledged To the ancient evil that dwells in the dust The coven has gathered to follow the call The secret rites have been done Joyously initiating man's fall For the last time to witness the eclipse of the sun The uttermost abomination The infernal incarnation Manifested in a turmoil of restless limbs And uncountable greedy jaws The horrid body rises above Armed with tentacles and poisonous claws As well as beast so be as god A living symbol of disgust Evoking a tempest of tortured souls Cancerous rising as a tumour of guts Chaos opens its fevering eye Dwelling in flames of putrefaction The inbred darkness, gruesome divine The infernal incarnation That is not dead which can eternal lie And in strange aeons even death may die Invading the womb of the sacrificed virgin The whore begets the heir The black goat of the woods with a thousand young Contaminates the pulsating air It calls from the nightside The god with the blinded sight Like wolves crushing into a flock of sheep Settled down for an unhallowed feast Death appears more gracious than life Their unquenchable thirst seals the end of peace Longing for an unspeakable thrill Man has broken the seal of salvation Purging the world from the plague itself Becoming the infernal incarnation That is not dead which can eternal lie And in strange aeons even death may die

Victims Of Depravity Conform with your society Simply follow the mass Retell its imbecility While despair will everlast It’s always man’s fault Gain brought forth this A slowly dying world The dead revel in bliss Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men Abandon, deprave, leading into grave Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads Explode, shred, bodies tear apart Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts Obey, subject, victims of depravity Into the circles of hell The doomed legions march Do you hear the death knell As weapons get recharged? Morbid duty is the law On ruthless killing’s command In their regime’s iron claw They crush this profaned land Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men Abandon, deprave, leading into grave Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads Explode, shred, bodies tear apart Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts Obey, subject, victims of depravity A ceremony of ripping flesh The path of struggle and strain Their shrouds will turn to ashes To relief thy earth from pain Drowning in blood and gore This battle can’t be won Realizing the extent of war They’re falling one by one Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men Abandon, deprave, leading into grave Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads Explode, shred, bodies tear apart Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts Obey, subject, victims of depravity

Apocalypsis Laocoontis Seine Hände sind gebunden Ihm obliegt die Wahl zu hassen Oder Aufwendung hiesiger Kraft Gestaltung letzter lebenswerter Tage All die glücklichen Erinnerungen Woran er sich lechzend klammert Geben ein erfülltes Leben Unerträglich Abschied zu nehmen Dem Tumor entwächst Zweifel am Sinn des Daseins Reiz am geistigen Verkümmern Bedingt durch Gleichgültigkeit Die süße Sehnsucht nach Leben Erkaltet am stählernen Gitter Gefangen im eigenen Käfig Verzweifelt an Wut und Trauer Die schwindende Zukunft zeigt Den letzten Hauch einzufangen Das dämmernde Schicksal anzunehmen Nicht dem Leid mehr Raum zu geben Der Gedanke an das Ende Der Versuch es zu ändern, vergebens Bis das widerspenstige Geschwür Schließlich seinen Geist zerfrisst « [...] Der Tod ist groß. Wir sind alle die Seinen. Die Flüsse fließen alle ohne uns. Die Zeit verrinnt. Und sehen Sie hinaus. Die Sterne treiben uns verwirrt entgegen. Nur der Tod ist grausam gewiss. Sterben ist Grausamkeit einer Ahnungslosen. Aber der Tod ist nicht alles. [...] » Herzog, Werner: Nosferatu - Phantom der Nacht, 1979 Es droht der Wille zu brechen Noch nährt ihn sein Lebensdurst Bis zuletzt, wo der Tod Erlösung bringt Dem alten Mann die Augen schließt Erneut die Augen geöffnet Mit Blick auf den Horizont Bewusstsein des eigenen Glücks Endlich dieser Welt entrissen

Celestial Sign The run of time Creates and destroys Drowns the world For bringing new dawn The perennial process Continuous decay Causes sprouting life Deep within me Mother nature Father time Transcendental Celestial sign Dreamless in space Thrown down to earth Born into body Exist in period Reflect your lifetime Perish in flames Witness mortality As the spirit fades Mother nature Father time Fathomless Am I blind? Show me the reason of my existence The cosmic outset where my soul has been bound to this transient flesh The purpose why I am here What leads me to eternity or will I be reborn again? The run of time Creates and destroys Drowns the world For bringing new dawn The perennial process Continuous decay Causes sprouting life Deep within me Mother nature Father time Transcendental Celestial sign

Surreal Existence Asking for the origin The appearance of I Alienation of my own Is how to classify? Disturbed by the sickness My awful screams so loud Voices from the abyss Predict to leave this shroud Life is just an illusion Accept the growing distance Death will mark the end Of my surreal existence Slowly fading consciousness Within a rotting mind Numb and disillusioned I am following the blind A unique disease implied This pain ain‘t even real My scorching spirit inside The only I can feel Life is just an illusion Accept the growing distance Death will mark the end Of my surreal existence Feel the great emptiness I am all at sea A veil lies on my face Tormented by agony Nihilistic thoughts destroy the days Traumatic dreams hunt my nights Release myself in sadistic ways Self-disemboweled I will ignite Life is just an illusion Accept the growing distance Death will mark the end Of my surreal existence

On the Shores of Chronos Embarking on a journey To reveal my longing for tranquility Far away from the dominion Of the clamorous humanity It‘s strange and it‘s distant Which is never to achieve A journey without return Is the price of more than dreams On the shores of Chronos Beholding the stream of time Filling up emptiness With my fading life On the Shores of Chronos Where a beating heart turns blur At the end of the river That’s where I meet you The breathing fades in the wind Where ashes decline to dust I bury the grain Where all hope is lost Unconscious and timeless Without fertile sentiment Lost within myself I stroll the lifeless sand From morning’s kiss til darkness Until the endless march repeats The flood grants me reason While the ebb leaves nothing but void for me The freedom of dreams The light of your grace Prepare thy farewell Dwelling in memories Thinking of myself Lonesome but complete Recognising the voice That silently speaks through me On the shores of Chronos Beholding the stream of time Filling up emptiness With my fading life On the Shores of Chronos Where a beating heart turns blur At the end of the river That’s where I meet you
