"Dragging the Corpse" Born unto this world The treachery of drudgery To drag the corpse through The miserable repose Forced to serve the cold Evergreen agony Ashen grey sovereignty Pallid way to face the grave With the only hope of A light aflame Is with a pyre or cremation! Born unto this world The treachery of drudgery To drag the corpse through The miserable repose Forced to serve the cold Chains - the clamouring chains Walk into the wind With dust blown in your eyes To breathe When breath is choked away Deep within the night As sleep becomes a spite Evergreen agony Ashen grey sovereignty Pallid way to face the grave With the only hope of A light aflame Is with a pyre or cremation! Slow climb Uphill striving Ever onward Toward oblivion Top of the mountain Cliffside view achieved Pinnacle - monumental Downcast Cast down Breathe - Be Earth

"Fit for the Undertaker" Born with a thorn in my side Adorned with a thirst unquenched - called pride Never to discover all the wonders beyond me Living in the mirror That's plush with tragedy Coiffed for the trough I'm dressed to kill Pretty! Oh! So pretty! Esteem! I seek! Reveal! Lipstick on thick The blush unreal I'm going out on the town To get my fill Prey! Oh! Such prey! Gleam! Knife! Glamour! Scream! Pierced! Silence! Body! Dragged! Into darkness! Fit for the Undertaker! (Solos) Fit for the Undertaker! Fit for the Undertaker Healthy living Yoga stretched Vitality A waste of flesh A waste of time A waste of every Curse and rhyme Typical stench Of second glance Grabbed - fucked Dumped like trash (Solos) Born with a thorn in my side Adorned with a thirst unquenched - called pride Never to discover all the wonders beyond me Living in the mirror That's plush with tragedy Coifed for the trough I'm dressed to kill Fit for the Undertaker! Fit for the Undertaker Healthy living Yoga stretched Vitality A waste of flesh A waste of time A waste of every Curse and rhyme Typical stench Of second glance Grabbed - fucked Dumped like trash

"Strewn Before Vultures" Among the heaps With wickedness binds A merciless onslaught Without confines A declaration from a Profanation cult Destroying all who Stand in their way One, two - murder a few! Three, four - kill some more! Five, six - slaughter...transfix! Seven, eight - slay with hate! Among the heaps With wickedness binds A merciless onslaught Without confines A declaration from a Profanation cult Destroying all who Stand in their way One, two - murder a few! Three, four - kill some more! Five, six - slaughter...transfix! Seven, eight - slay with hate! (Solos) With heads on pikes And dreams on the altar Sacrifice before the gods To feast on the blood and the fire Called upon to berth the storm A vortex of suffering Echoes through with chaos to spare Disseminate the miserable torture The agony becomes so clear (Solos) With heads on pikes And dreams on the altar Sacrifice before the gods To feast on the blood and the fire Called upon to berth the storm A vortex of suffering Echoes through with chaos to spare Disseminate the miserable torture The agony becomes so clear To cast aspersions unto the wind Elevate the victory with the last grin Censure the enemies Don't let them fade Into the darkness Strewn before the vultures Make them suffer For all eternity Forgive them not for All their travesties To cast aspersions unto the wind Elevate the victory with the last grin Censure the enemies Don't let them fade Into the darkness Strewn before the vultures Make them pay For all eternity Forgive them not for All their travesties

"Guardian of the Other World" Here I sit All alone! There's something drifting in I'm not alone, I'm NOT ALONE! There's a dreadful Buzzing sound Of evil wings It's dancing all around It stares at me With eyes ablaze It stands two towers tall! Swirling all about It has no mouth Yet whispers fears That makes me cringe And cower down Help me! I'm frozen and frail Caught in its trance How will I avail? Psychological warfare The smoke within my mind I've come to greet my ally But now I meet and only find... (Solo) Psychological warfare The smoke within my mind I've come to greet my ally But now I meet and only find the... Guardian of the Other World! Guardian of the Other World!

"Soulless Solace" Spouting off of history Disregard of mystery The waters of creation Ethers of clandestine treaties Reigning while it's raining The gullible drink while they drown In sadness as it's pouring Reaping of the weeping Soulless Solace No light, no heart Cut off, twisted Warped beyond creative thought Parasite - thwarting Manipulate to dominate Infesting the auric fields Tampering with tendrils creeping Artificial intelligence Inorganic confluence Supplication transformation Modification - assimilate! Soulless Solace No light, no heart Cut off, twisted Warped beyond creative thought Parasite - thwarting Manipulate to dominate Infesting the auric fields Tampering with tendrils creeping Creeping!

Artificial intelligence Inorganic confluence Supplication transformation Modification - assimilate! Spouting off of history Disregard of mystery The waters of creation Ethers of clandestine treaties Reigning while it's raining The gullible drink while they drown In sadness as it's pouring Reaping of the weeping

"Arbiter of the Abattoir" With the glint of steel And steel eyed glare The arbiter exhibits A devotion to exterminate As a flesh carver extraordinaire There's no casual casualties For the... Arbiter of the Abattoir! Arbiter of the Abattoir!! Reckless abandon To relish the hellish Free form execution Mindlessly killing While searching for the soul A bag of tricks To castigate the insurmountable Atheistic fascination Fascist inclinations Rebuking life No value in Unquantifiable prose The poetry of nature Even less than So, now orchestrate The delightful butchery (Solo) Reckless abandon To relish the hellish Free form execution Mindlessly killing While searching for the soul A bag of tricks To castigate the insurmountable Atheistic fascination Fascist inclinations Rebuking life No value in Unquantifiable prose The poetry of nature Even less than So, now orchestrate The delightful butchery (Solo) Hunger of the hunter Striking with the hammer Smashing down! Lightning bolts and thunder Quick as a flash It's showered down A god of his own making! There's not ever any questioning! Absolute power - absolute deception The irony of ironies The blood within the veins There's no words to express The music - music of the singing blade Slicing as the gushing gashes Spill a sprawling serenade There's a hint of deep Ambrosia wafting in the orgone air A fragrance of such eloquence Eliciting a stirring...

"Grinding the Wind" Wake up in the morning Truly it's a mourning I fucking suck at living I'm good at dying Every fucking day I wish I wasn't alive Sick of all this bullshit Yet I can't quit Paradise lies out the windows All we do is march in circles Shackled to this wheel of torture Punishment for crimes are rendered Wake up in the morning Truly it's a mourning I fucking suck at living I'm good at dying Every fucking day I wish I wasn't alive Sick of all this bullshit Yet I can't quit Busy treading water Drowning in the shallows Demons in the sky Are howling louder Driving me insane With their taunting Callous screams My life goes down the drain As I'm grinding the wind Paradise lies out the windows All we do is march in circles Shackled to this wheel of torture Punishment for crimes are rendered Paradise lies out the windows All we do is march in circles Shackled to this wheel of torture Punishment is grinding the wind! (Solos) Wake up in the morning Truly it's a mourning I fucking suck at living I'm good at dying Every fucking day I wish I wasn't alive Sick of all this bullshit Yet I can't quit Busy treading water Drowning in the shallows Demons in the sky Are howling louder Driving me insane With their taunting Callous screams My life goes down the drain As I'm grinding the wind

"Night Falls Fast" Life without you is unbearable All I can see is you fading away Murdered before my eyes - the tragedy Slowly your soul couldn't take anymore Countless the hours I spent with you Never for granted - I cherished you always Time will not heal this eternal wound No joy in my heart as your ashes bring Oceans of tears (Solo) Countless the hours I think of you From I miss you already to I'll miss you forever Time will not heal this eternal wound No joy in my heart Only grief from the innocence Lost! Night Falls Fast! Every day I die with you Still alive I die with you Drifting off with memories of life with you You're always in my mind Your absence bleeding through Night Falls Fast! (Solo) Every day I die with you Still alive I die with you Drifting off with memories of life with you You're always in my mind Your absence bleeding through No comfort in life No solace in death Your vibrance extinguished My life left bereft The sun shall never shine again! Fuck this fucking life The endless pain and sacrifice Fuck this fucking life When there's nothing to hold There's no hope to be had The sun shall never shine again! Life without you is unbearable All I can see is you fading away Murdered before my eyes - the tragedy Slowly your soul couldn't take anymore Countless the hours I think of you From I miss you already to I'll miss you forever Time will not heal this eternal wound No joy in my heart Only grief from the innocence Lost! Night Falls Fast! Night Falls Fast!
