"Ghouls Around the Blade" With chants of ghouls Around the blade Throughout the town The bells have sounded Execute the heretic! We shall not suffer The unrepentant! Hallowed be thy name Our lord and savior Who died upon the cross Then arose from the tomb Blessing all mankind With chants of ghouls Around the blade Throughout the town The bells have sounded Execute the heretic! We shall not suffer The unrepentant! By the grace of God be sent To the place of Flames and torment By decree we slaughter thee Then rejoice in celebration Hallowed be thy name Our lord and savior Who died upon the cross Then arose from the tomb Blessing all mankind With blood to wash the sins Away...resides our loving god In the hearts of men Never to be found Unless you're on your knees Praying to the carcass On the cross Hold the cross! Kiss the corpse! This is the story we're told This is the fable bestowed (Solo) Hold the cross! Kiss the corpse! This is the story we're told This is the fable bestowed (Solo) With chants of ghouls Around the blade Throughout the town The bells have sounded Execute the heretic! We shall not suffer The unrepentant! By the grace of God be sent To the place of Flames and torment By decree we slaughter thee Then rejoice in celebration

"I of the Storm" Prodigious - the stillness The chaos - the unborn dream Dynamic fire of icy reign Limited by the nature of design Yet vast in the scope of designation I of the storm Meting out the discipline I of the storm Beating out the innocence I of the storm Gathering the miscreants I of the storm Destruction then replenishment Prodigious - the stillness The chaos - the unborn dream Dynamic fire of icy reign Limited by the nature of design Yet vast in the scope of designation I of the storm Meting out the discipline I of the storm Beating out the innocence I of the storm Gathering the miscreants I of the storm Destruction then replenishment (Solos) I of the storm Meting out the discipline I of the storm Beating out the innocence I of the storm Gathering the miscreants I of the storm Destruction then replenishment

"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

"Adorned Without Ceremony" Adorned without ceremony Crowned before a cold sojourn The air is thick with sovereign ashes Tears are wept from sorrow's thorns The wrenching grief The unquenched mourning Ageless wrath of regrets sewn The tapestry - a strangling harness Death becomes the only hope Forever haunted - forever hunted Like wolves at the womb Tearing out the innocence Left in ruins The godless heathens The chosen few Feeding hunger with starvation Adorned without ceremony Crowned before a cold sojourn The air is thick with sovereign ashes Tears are wept from sorrow's thorns The wrenching grief The unquenched mourning Ageless wrath of regrets sewn The tapestry - a strangling harness Death becomes the only hope Forever haunted - forever hunted Like wolves at the womb Tearing out the innocence Left in ruins The godless heathens The chosen few Feeding hunger with starvation Death honors no one! No one knows this more than The dying! Death honors no one! What's worse than death Is not knowing the beauty You've destroyed! (Solos) Death honors no one! No one knows this more than The dying! Death honors no one! What's worse than death Is not knowing the beauty You've destroyed! (Solo) Adorned without ceremony Crowned before a cold sojourn The air is thick with sovereign ashes Tears are wept from sorrow's thorns The wrenching grief The unquenched mourning Ageless wrath of regrets sewn The tapestry - a strangling harness Death becomes the only hope

"Scourge of Vicissitude" Life! Death! Death in life! Life in death! Aggravation Deep frustration Agonizing pain Mind is racing Constant aching Reaching out though all I do Is push away Caught within this Burning chaos Razor blades won't Cut the chains Temperance through suffering Find solace in the Scourge of Vicissitude! (Solo) Agitation from stagnation Make it through another day Growing weary of this fury Change is only shades of dismay The heart has sunk The blood grows black The eyes see only grey I'll finalize my exit plan And destroy all in my way! (Solo) Scourge of Vicissitude All is seen as life's abuse The struggle only kills you! There's no escape There is no end Constant suicide Aggravation Deep frustration Agonizing pain Mind is racing Constant aching Reaching out though all I do Is push away Caught within this Burning chaos Razor blades won't Cut the chains Temperance through suffering Find solace in the Scourge of Vicissitude! Agitation from stagnation Make it through another day Growing weary of this fury Change is only shades of dismay The heart has sunk The blood grows black The eyes see only grey I'll finalize my exit plan And destroy all in my way!

Kill in the name of righteous goals Deceive the weak - the enemy Divide then conquer - guaranteed At hand - victory! They're dead - shown no mercy Lifeless fallen soldiers At Peace With War! (Solo) At hand - victory! They're dead - shown no mercy Lifeless fallen soldiers At Peace With War! (Solo) At Peace with War! (8x) (Solo) At Peace with War! (8x) At Peace With War! (4x) At hand - victory! They're dead - shown no mercy Lifeless fallen soldiers At Peace With War!
