lyrics

VAE VICTUS

Hail the fall of man
Grave misfortune, ill-destined
Your worth has been weighed
Now you’re slaves to your fate

Risen from the depths of the darkest parts of His book
Challenging your faith in Divine love that cannot be shook
Bow before your Lord, ask Him why has He forsaken thee
Sold your souls to Christ but the Horsemen will not hear your pleas
Risen from the depths of the darkest parts of His book
Challenging your faith in Divine love that cannot be shook
Bow before your Lord, ask Him why has He forsaken thee
Sold your souls to Christ but the Horsemen come for thee

The first living creature broke the seal
An invitation to come and see
Galloping forth, White – Red – Black – then Pale
Harbingers of death, prevail!

Alpha and Omega, all suffering in between
Pulling the wool of the Lamb over your eyes
Guiding the blind to pre-determined meaning
Four beasts birthed if fire and brimstone
To decimate the non-worshipping
A book of fiction at the front line of our demise
Killed by God or the seven-headed beast

The fires will multiply
Fueled by malevolent lies
Waiting for death from the sky
Blind ignorance is our demise

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. Empyrean Eclipse

I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere. Andrés Salas
