GRAVE
Befouled grounds, funerary plot
Awaits this debt to claim
Last rights confined
Burn my memory, you’re dead to me
Removing the poison thorns
Savor the symptom that eats you alive
Drown in despair, consequences forewarn
Yet, the filth still churns
Rusted gears still grind,
Far worse will come, as we’re digging through time
A toast to your demise,
As you rot in your grave
Behold your reward
Free from your misery, guilt and deceit
The poison has run its course
Cold hands of fate, feel my thorns as you wake
Now that the worm has turned
The bleeding knees and soured prayers
Help not, Thy will be gone
To the grave take your shame
Inescapable fate
Fresh dirt on the grave, borne to the bloody earth
Rot in your grave
Condemned to cold earth and exile
Unfit to exist
Moist soil will share our crime
This night by nail and plight
Misery interred, screaming inside, a feast for the worms
A toast to your demise,
Embittered victory’s release
One final sordid night,
Kicking inside,you rot - rot in your grave
Behold your reward
The worm, the worm has turned
Panic raping your mind
Lungs stagnate with greed
Choke on your self-pity grief
Petty wretch depart in shame
With your last dying breath
Meet dreamless sleep

EMPYREAN ECLIPSE
Unending misery, mankind destroying itself
Looking to the skies to save us all, “big god’ sends no help
Unknown to us a battle rages on, light fading from the holy sun
Mankind blissfully indifferent, epoch of darkness has begun
A choir of angels singing
As darkness fills the sky
A total eclipse in the heavens
Vast nothingness consumes all light
Chaos erupting
As above so below
The age of man in violent conclusion
Into the night we must go
Unending misery, mankind destroying itself
Looking to the skies to save us all, “big god’ sends no help
Unknown to us a battle rages on, light fading from the holy sun
Mankind blissfully indifferent, epoch of darkness has begun
Dark clouds billowing high
The thunder rolls
Lightning blindingly bright
The flames of the end ignited
Go into the night (4x)
A choir of angels singing
As darkness fills the sky
A total eclipse in the heavens
Vast nothingness consumes all light
Chaos erupting
As above so below
The age of man in violent conclusion
Into the night we must go

Scream Inside Your Heart
A plague upon all your houses
Thus spoke Zarathustra
Plant yourselves upon your couches
Ingest endless media
Rapidly devolve
unintelligent lifeforms
Quick to judge yet slow to care
Hypocrisy’s the new norm
Now!
Watching everything we know and love
Fall apart before our eyes (x4)
Enter a world of fiery torment
The blood, it flows with death
Everyone is losing their minds
Breeding itself over and over
Hatred, anger-fueled contempt
Dissention within the highest
ranks of leadership
We are all doomed
Continued isolation
The world has been shut down
Survive a plague still want to die
Is there no alternative?
Scream inside your heart!
Scream inside your heart!
And die!
This is what we do now
Sitting in our room
Staring out the window
This is what we do!
Open roads nowhere to go
Many struggle to see the ‘why’
Hopelessness and fear abound
Take your seat then end your life
Walls close in I’m coming undone
You cannot control the rage
Building up continuously eternal
My home is my cage

INFERNO
Flesh burning in darkness
Desolation bellows
Treacherous blessings clenching teeth, sinking deep
Every last vestige bleeds it’s innocence free
A dire expense for seeking warmth in the ash
Bleeding an epitaph
Incendiary breath on my neck
Nigh on kindled tinder
Kiss the embers, numb to the cold
Smoldering bones, stoke disinterred coals
Loyal misery, sears the tarnish clean
Forged in immolation, it sears the tarnish clean
Rites burning in darkness
Desolation bellows
Sacrifice melded for burnt offering’s dress
Immaculate carcass, rotten excess
Virgin snow in frosted elegance glow
Corrupt of its own damp and cold
Vomit agony - A vulgar altar soon availed
Kiss the embers, numb to the cold
Smoldering bones, stoke disinterred coals
Loyal misery, sears the tarnish clean
Forged in immolation, it sears the tarnish clean
Some embers never die
Some ashes hold their fires
Ignite in fury, aspire to infamy
All Hell’s fire
In death
Some embers never die
Some ashes hold their fires
Ignite in fury, aspire to infamy
Some embers never die
Some embers never die
Some ashes hold their fires
Ignite in fury, aspire infamy
All Hell’s fire
All Hell’s fire
All Hell’s fire, sentries aghast
All Hell’s fire

LATHE
Wrought an August eve ‘neath London’s dripping eaves
A modern gothic promise of disease
Night held rains scent in you, and haven bare
Awaiting the grand despair
Devil rains wash these burning hands
Lest these dirty cuts decree
‘Til fate holds me chaste and numb
Bloody tongues won’t cleanse our wounds
Come lay in mordant rest, our secrecy to death
Tress-silhouetted wet corset, contouring eager breasts
Virtuous cerements abdicate their laces fare
Décolletage in ruptured skies’ prayers
Devil rains wash these burning hands
Warm scarlet throat agape
Empty hands chaste
Bloody tongues seal your fate
Wash these burning hands
Warm scarlet throat agape
Empty hands chaste
Bloody tongues seal your fate
Cut the poison out
Dead hope, I always knew
Bleed the burning poison out
Sleep will come
I always knew
Pure Angelique, diabolical fiend
Illusion of hope, in veiled devilry
Wicked Angelique, wistful of thee
Queen of my darkness, and disparate beauty
Cruel Angelique, diabolical fiend
Blood painted angel
Wicked Angelique, my lathe, corrupt unto thee
In blackened spirit, soulless beauty
Bleed the burning poison out
Sleep will come, I always knew
Wrought an August eve ‘neath London’s dripping eaves
A modern gothic promise of disease
Night held rains scent in you, and haven bare
Awaiting...

The evolution of these guys' sound over the past decade is nothing short of inspiring. This album has groove, melody, and tech aspects that really do make it stand out. I dig. A lot.
