The Purge

More and more, growing and growing
Spreading and spreading, taking and ruining
The cancer is growing, the cancer is spreading

Purge the world, remove them all
Purge the world, remove them all
Reaching out further, absorbing the earth
Ever expanding, never stop breeding
No room to move, no room to breath

Human scourge
Consuming it all
Filing ourselves
Soon there will be nothing left

Wipe us all out, it's what we deserve
Cleansing this planet from our disease
The world we've created is choking us all
Unchecked and rampant, wicked and vile

Purge the world...of our curse
Purge the land...of our mess
Take us out...with one swift blow
Take us down...with crushing force

Purge the world, remove us all
Purge the world, remove them all
Purge the world

A Token Of Malice

Rank with hubris, scar the world
Watch the helpless weep and run in fear

Cast the fire, scorch the earth
Punish them and rip the ground away

Storm with vengeance, leveled plains
Leave them nothing and lay the land to waste

Force them out, a drastic act
Executing all even if their own will suffer

Winds of terror will crush their world
Flames of hatred shall shake their souls

We liken ourselves to Gods
Leaving lifeless regions of ruin
Generations before it all heals
We serve our time in hell

Majesty And Decay

A plague of madness will change the world
A gripping siege brings down the land
Worn away by years of conflict
Endless plains of crumbled stone

A vile disturbance will move us all
Its will is iron, a blackened soul
Innocent blood will fill its need
Watch you faith turn and flee

The rousing of giants, the suppressing of spirit
Majestic in presence, a guise to betray
Loosening the noose while tightening the chains
A race for victory, erase humanity

All you have is all you've taken
Crushed and silenced a people are broken
Maniacal vision is brought to life
March for victory, the beginning of the end

Mortal element corrodes
Thrown into the fires

Banners of hate for all to see
Massing hordes, command by fear
Menacing decree, inhuman state
Towering sorrow, choking every soul

 

---

Divine Code

Like venom it surges through heart and soul
Driven and guided by the fears of men
A product of worlds so far apart
A destiny failure, a kingdom of ghosts

No emotions, no though, no fear
Into the darkness with fanatical lust

Raised for dying, a martyr's path
Eyes are open but never see
Filled with contempt for all the world
Daggers of tyranny to the throat of mankind

Twisted beliefs, numbed by lies
A radical hatred consumes and devours
A God of love, a God of war
The Gods will tear us down
Passions flow, released in fury
Diabolical plans unfold
Expendable lives, forfeit their souls
Thrown into the storm

A rise to glory, rapturous pride
A fall from grace, into the abyss

In Human Form

Evolve from beasts, yet beasts we are
A Trial of will, to force restrain
All the rage, locked inside
Struggle on in human form

Hate overflows
It crawls its way, beneath our skin
Its curse is strong, enslaves our thoughts
Ignore the signs, unlock its fury
Feel its power, indulge its tough

Hate overflows
This violent, primal rage

A rage inside the soul now burns
Reach the point of no return
Internal fire that sears the flesh
Melt away my human form

Pure poison, potent and true
Silencing the voice of reason
On the edge, fighting for balance
I plunge into my darkest depths
The anger and menace, of this burdened soul
Breaks the surface, free and wild
Becoming the beast, to kill the fear
Warped and twisted, vicious and savage

A rage inside the soul now burns
Reach the point of no return
Might fires that sear the flesh
Melt away our human form

A Glorious Epoch

Hear millions cry
The darkness falls
Echoing the past
Bleed the world dry

Our threatened kingdoms
The world is divided
Trample ourselves
While we claw for the prize

The schemes of men have failed us all
Strife with no end, our actions will betray us

Battles will rage
Violence will flow
Repeating the past
A tragic path once more

Making our mark while leaving our stain
Our legacy of arrogance will wither with the day

Oppression and fear
Our weapons of choice
Always playing God
It's never enough
Our coveted conquests
At such a great cost
More suffering and loss
A glorious epoch

A Thunderous Consequence

A massive force cuts through the land
Hopes of victory as failure looms
The pressure is building as spirits die
The great Crusade to clean the world

Step out of consciousness and move with instinct
Mortal men with heavy hearts
The Devil's game is played for keeps
Pave the way for years to come

Inevitable course upon death's path
March toward the horizon's end
Conviction and strength will carry them through
To last another day
Raging fires and chunks of earth
Will throw them off their path
The wailing sounds of comrades lost
They'll carry to their graves
End this war... bring them homes... bring them back... alive
Take control... force the end... overwhelm them... with might
The onslaught... the carnage... will scar them... for life
Their innocence... their youth... was lost... forever
Acres of death, oceans of blood
Onward mercilessly, to triumph or failure

The Rapture Of Ghosts

Trudging forward, across the barrens
A life long lost, where has it gone
Right through my hands, now I am here
A walking shell, already dead

Show me the meaning of pain...
Tempt me with the promise of death
Cold winds from their icy hearts... turn us all to dust

Will breaker, courage taker
Leading us on, leading us nowhere
Taking its toll, the weak ones fall
Boundless journey, boundless nightmare

Can not find the light
Can not find the way
Humanity has left us
Abandoned us to fate

Can not move... can not breathe
Smell the death... see the horror
In front of me... the massacre of thousands
The mind can't erase, what the soul can't embrace

Dragging us into the dirt
Soaking the ground with our blood
Like beasts to the slaughter
We'll never leave here alive

Starved, stabbed, degraded and tortured
Crawling, gasping, there's nothing left
Drained and beaten, slipping downward
Fading fast, death has finally come

Power And Shame

So much wealth, so much to say
So man lives, are kept at bay

Your hold is tight upon the weak and dispossessed
Centuries of our enslavement have enabled you to flourish
Your influence is selfish as you line your halls in fold
With regal houses more of greed than of God your truth is shown

So much fire, so much zeal
So much opulence, that you can't feel

The apathy you've shown the world as you hide behind your "Son"
You show a face of great concern while you look the other way
The foundations you were built upon are nothing more than lies
The remnants of your glory days, now just markers for your grave

Watch them all die for you
Skin them alive with passion
Take all their lives for you
Raping the world forever

Ignore the cries, ignore the pleas
What's good for you is not for them
Let them suffer, let them die
There's always souls you'll need to save

The Comfort Of Cowards

The words of fools
Echo in your head
Reverberating...endlessly
Beliefs are thicker than blood
Tearing us all apart
Too many lives, too many dead

Solutions of fantasy
In an age of truth
Abundant yet... impotent
Taken as gospel
To comfort the cowards
And silence the followers

No intelligence in your design,
Watch your faith start to decline
I accept all, but you won't
I see clearly, but you don't

In a world of flesh and fear
Men are dying for their Gods
People killing for their Gods
The world is crying for your Gods

A blindness is upon you
One of the unshakable potency
Though the sun burns your skin
You deny its power and heat

Fight free of your possession
Or die alone in darkness
Will you reach out with final desperation
For the soothing lies and comfort of cowards
