Cancer Of Blades

The madness festers, more potent than ever before
Ancestors, those I once adored, bear witness to their sons
The blasphemies I beheld; the soil in which I dwell
The cradle burns as tinder to this hell and still they are blind to what they have done
Once my fecundity was wisdom
But soon only tears filled my glade
Serenity no longer binds me
I've sprouted a cancer of blades
Too long I have slept, dreaming of better days
Too long I have wept, while the world fell to decay
The blasphemies I behold; false gods poised to consume
An ocean of frozen souls; an eldritch doom
Once my fecundity was wisdom
But soon only tears filled my glade
Serenity no longer binds me
I've sprouted a cancer of blades
The earth pines for a panacea to its misery
All mortals must perish before the old ones come to be
This is your fate
This is your fate
This is your fate
This is your fate
This is your fate
This is your fate
This is your fate

Flowers To The Furnace
05:03
|
|||
|
The fires of the civilized world sparkle in the evening shade
The comforts warm the creatures She made
Leeches form the webs that provide their peace
Cities born of desires and caprice
Like flowers to the furnace, beauty ebbs away
Wonders put aside, thrown to yesterday
I remember when times of better men
Paradise denied, never to return again
The modern world no longer has life or death, only addiction
And the fevered dreams of a purpose to fulfill
It must be what they've always wanted; to surrender their will
And keep the world so still, so still
(Immolation)
Burning the cradle of the earth helps them fall asleep
Burying themselves in falsehoods too deep
Progress is the call that has led to this
Forgetting who they were in the name of bliss
Like flowers to the furnace, consuming everyone
Nothing ever grows, nothing can be won
I remember when, before they drank the chemicals
So long ago, now forever condemned
The modern world no longer has life or death, only addiction
And the fevered dreams of a purpose to fulfill
It must be what they've always wanted; to surrender their will
And kill the world; kill, kill

Famine Storm
04:18
|
|||
|
Darkness descends from the firmament
Shredding winds sever the lifelines
Unbound in torment, these victims of sentience
They mourn the scattered fragments of their designs
These are the remnants of a fragile civilization
Terror takes the reins in the fate of the storm's manifestation
Oh, see them wither in the wake of a carrion rain
Worms erupt from the soil to lay claim to the grains
Corrosive waters fall to drown the vermin
Mortals perish alone in rusted enclosures
Sinking, the undertow begins
Such fallible creatures cannot hope to endure
These are the remnants of a fragile civilization
Terror takes the reins in the fate of the storm's manifestation
Oh, see them wither in the wake of a carrion rain
Worms erupt from the soil to lay claim to the grains
The stentorian call of thunder
Awakens me to the true nightmare
Cyclones harrow through the headstones
Sundered cityscapes in despair
Long ago, they prayed to Her
To guard crops from malignant swarms
Now wreathed in a cloud of locusts
I watch the defilers waste away in the famine storm
The famine storm

Demeter's Reckoning
04:33
|

|
Once upon a time, when I seeped with wisdom
Nestled deep in your earth, nurturing mankind from its birth
Your weeds have borne steel and I weep for your hunger
As your forces grow stronger it is I who remember your crimes
Ignorant to the blasted fields and wilted air
Complacent to a fallen future and a fate laid bare
And you would gouge your own mother from within to beget dust and skeletons
I watch you betray yourselves and she is too withered to care
Once upon a time, they beseeched me for guidance
Groveled on their knees for the wisdom of the trees
Now I reap their disease, their pitiful defiance
These dregs of science in sorrow and hatred entwined
Decrepit crops unsought by mankind
Scarecrows laid bare for the starving soil
You would choke willingly upon your mother's ashes
And rue in millenia of reckoning

Ocean Scorn
03:25
|

|
Bathed in brine, drowned by time
A place where the titans submerged
Downtrodden seas, home to scores of debris
Where Mother's nightmares converged
Choked upon salt, embalmed in silt
Erosion gnaws at the shores
A maelstrom of tears where all hope disappears
Horrors from the gulfs below
Sediment in the wind, corruption within
Vessels will sail to their deaths
Painted by oil, the wellspring despoiled
Devouring denizens of the depths
When the waters reject your tongues
The famine will be complete
I will drink your remorse as your bones feed the shores
To nourish my cancerous roots and replenish the seed

Willow's Edge

Surely they must know that the end is near
The locusts breed, infesting eyes and ears
Civilization lies in ruin beneath a cold sun
The tempest has torn through the world, and my harvest time has come
Starvation is your fate
Your ignorance prevailed and now it's too late
One last sacrifice for a withered womb
Her body shall be your tomb
Extinction is on the rise
An offering before the whole world dies
One last genocide upon the willow's edge
Upon the willow's edge
Come ever closer and be purified
Absolution is obtained through suicide
Expiation to feed the fields
Coffins forged in factories of steel; senses too deadened to feel the pain I feel
Starvation is your fate
Your ignorance prevailed and now it's too late
One last sacrifice for a withered womb
Her body shall be your tomb
Extinction is on the rise
An offering before the whole world dies
One last genocide upon the willow's edge
Upon the willow's edge
My harvest time has come
The world will come undone
The reaping has begun
One last offering; let it be done
So alone, in my bleak eternity
So alone, I must find serenity
It's the end of all their dreams
They never heard their mother's screams
I bring an exit from this world so obscene
As I reap this sorrow seed
I grant the release from their suffering
The suffering of ignorance
I bring them back to the soil
Back to innocence
So alone, in my bleak eternity
So alone, there is no serenity

Reaping Requiem
11:10
|
|||
|
(Part I: Violent Fecundity)
A gift for humanity
My violent fecundity
The harvest time has come to be; I lay the world to rest
Mortals pleading for release; it's all for the best
Castigate the foul flesh of a despotic race
War; feel the blade's embrace
There is no love that remains
For this unworthy disgrace
No, there is no future anymore
You are but husks of what you were before
In my shadow a procession falls
To nevermore
Grown is the sorrow seed; requiem resounding as they bleed
Mortals pleading for release; the reaping must proceed
Suffer for the transgressions and neglect
A pestilence of voracious insects
The salt in the earth objects
You shall never resurrect
Failures in the eyes of all creation
Cenobites of a profane invasion
There is no salvation
Humanity has chosen extermination
(Part II: Glamour (The Others))
Illusions once pacified men into reverence
When the gentry protected the forests; how I miss the voices of the others
The victims of spiritual severence; banality, now doomed to rest
Once upon a forgotten time
Men feared to tread in the dark
Their laws meant nothing to the others
Now reason is their crime
And they have left their mark
The glamour is shed to reveal the world's ugliness to be all that is real
I call upon the thorns of the hedge to join me in mourning and slaughter
By the grace of the willow's edge
(Part III: Silent Slaughter - Instrumental)
(Part IV: Heralds Of Ash)
So, her blades will till the wasteland; hatred tends the flames
New life is nourished by the blood, burgeoning from the slain
We are the Heralds of Ash; into blackness let this world be cast
Annihilation of the weak to grant them the solace they seek
The sands of time have fallen and the chaos is crawling
This is all that remains; fettered roots as my veins, the world is mine to reign
We are the Heralds of Ash; into blackness let this world be cast
Annihilation of the weak to grant them the solace they seek
(Part V: Respite)
And so, as the cradle comforts the bones, I stand alone
This guardian can finally fade away
Know that even as my colors fade to gray
I am filled with respite to share this wedding grave
