Darkness
This lack of light
This void of life
All cold and dead
As seas run red
Blackened ash
Forgotten past
This is the cost
Our planet
Lost
Ignite flesh the fallen rise
Life from Breath
Lightning in their eyes
Wield my will my avatar
Arise
My chosen survivor
Arise
Oh new messiah
Arise
Exhaled savior
Arise
Hear your Creator
Hellstorms
Have crushed my people
Many have chosen evil
An evil fate
A world of hate
You are but one
My chosen son
You see my light
I beg thee
Fight
Rose from death
Fallen flesh complies
From burning earth flare and fire
our skies
The wars of gods and men
Arise
My chosen survivor
Arise
Oh new messiah
Arise
Exhaled savior
Arise
Hear your creator
Scorched this planet’s face
With evil wind
Crushed this mortal race
New war begins
Divine this light I lend
For you to see
Walk this righteous path
And follow me
Your eyes reveal the fear
You hold within
Arise shed not a tear
You’ll right this sin
Beyond this barren waste
And boiled sea
Lies a newfound fate
Your destiny
Arise
My chosen survivor
Arise
Oh new messiah
Arise
Exhaled savior
Arise
Hear your creator

Army From Ash
05:22
|
|||
Arise my son
Hear now what must be done
Betrayed was I
Our world in ruin ‘doth lie
A wasted land
Scorched earth and blood soaked sand
Your task at hand
An army from the ash of man
And now you will see through me
My eyes reveal your destiny
The truth is that in dreams you will see
Two gods truce is smashed
Eons of peace now passed
Create for me at last
An army from ash
Walls of flame
Acrid air and acid rain
I’m blind with pain
You’ll suffer not in vain
My quest unfolds
Fast fulfilled from fates foretold
From shattered lives, behold
Is an army of your control
And now you will see through me
My eyes reveal your destiny
The truth is that in dreams you will see
Two gods truce is smashed
Eons of peace now passed
Create for me at last
An army from ash
As soars the smoke from charring fire
So outpours all my desire
With the whole of soul of mind and heart
I’ll see your enemies torn apart
So hear the predicts of this mirrored glass
That like the phoenix they shall rise from ash
Before you lies
The re-forging of scattered lives
Pledged to you they’ll die
An army from ash did rise
And now you will see through me
My eyes reveal your destiny
The truth is that in dreams you will see
Two gods truce is smashed
Eons of peace now passed
Create for me at last
An army from ash
Army from ash
Army from ash
Army from ash
An army from ash

The Mirror Calls
08:30
|
|||
Exalted souls we now extoll
Are banded into one
Tell me Greadon
of my next charge
For I feel my task is not yet done
How wise i see you are
My arisen avatar
But first and explanation
Must be given
A rapacious lust did break a trust
And turn a truce to blood
So crushed is a once balanced power
And i fear it has not just begun
So these lives of those before you
Which have now been torn apart
Must learn these mystic magiks
And be taught these ancient arts
Confusion
I can not see
What you ask of me
Disillusion
How am I to show
So many fallen souls
What would take a lifetime to learn
This task that you now ask
To teach them through this glass could leave them
Dead and their souls be left to burn
Fear not ‘oh chosen great one
For learned they shall be
And your words will be reflections
Of things once said by me
Listen listen as the mirror calls
Show show them all these miracles
Knowledge knowledge gained through past reflections
Crush crush all those with evil intentions
The mirror calls
My misbegotten people
For war we must prepare
And this veil of black before you
I shall lift do not despair
Through this mirror's glass
See futures through our past
And with these new learned arts
Burn their souls to blackened ash
Follow me young fallen fledglings
Glean these arts of time since past
All our eyes upon the mirror
"Rise again” our god now asks
Listen, listen as the mirror calls
Show, show them all these miracles
Knowledge, knowledge gained through past reflections
Crush, crush all those with evil intentions
Engage the battle
Before it is too late
With bravery and courage
Shake this hand of fate
Broadened now
Our once closed minds
And seeing things
We could not find
An admiration of life and sense of hope
And yet a willingness to use the gallows rope
To condemn those who have
Now done thee wrong
And to deal justice which
Has been avoided far too long
The brave of brave
i have now gave
These arts of eons past
Wails of woe have now been cried
For those of you who did not last
The forgotten ways
Of forgotten days
Have since found a new life
Within those with new insight
The last of this new formed army
Have been shown the ways of past
Each enlightened their own being
And arose armies from ash
Take the mirrors teachings
Of sword and spell and heart
And take yours foes most cruel self
And rip and tear apart

A Futile Crusade
08:40
|
|||
From a throne of bone I sit
I watch the foolhardy and laugh
For I am Deamous, he who festers in lies
My armies shall bury Greadon's one to arise
Darkened druid are my minions
Who mass ‘neath midnight skies
A hymn to me they sing
As flames burn in their eyes
Thirteen it takes to lead
These thirteen thousand more
Who plead to me, a need to be
Lead now into war
Come with me new soldiers
The mirror has taught you well
March towards this fight, with god felt might
Hear not their wicked knell
This battle is fought by righteous
For the righteous who once fell
Let truth now show, It’s this we know
To war we now shall go
To war we now shall go
It once was said that pages read
Men stood from shore to shore
Lest it was a shame that this fought in vain
Would be deemed as the “Great War”
Thousands did span the coastline
Soon blood would quench the land
Each man blind that all his time
Was puppeteered by two gods hands
Each man blind that all his time’s
Been puppeteered by two gods hands
The clash would last eternity
Yet never would be won
This battle to make history
Yet history never comes
For within the midst of deluge will be born a sacred son
Who will be exalted and then sacrificed
When evils work is done
Who would be exalted and then sacrificed
When evils work is done
Soon to come a newborn male
Who shall falter and then prevail
Spawned by hatred and wicked ways
His fate this night was no more days
The Thirteen within their circle
Return from their battle won
Sing out in thanks to lord Deamous
And soon give up their unborn son

Lament Of The Fallen
06:18
|
|||
Father I stare into a sackcloth sky
And watch this moon drip tears of blood
And father
My battered body cries
For the grievance
Of a thousand tortured souls
My lord my God
I’ve failed thee
Yet my disciples and I did try
And within the bounds
Of this most sacred ground
It is here we all shall die
The ageless goddess that is my soul
Helps me pierce this veil of lies
I transcend above And watch below
As My body burns and dies
Flesh cremate
My soul escape
I ignite in effigy
Merge into collective thought
Matter becomes energy
I am the grand architect
Of this universe
I lead you through this
Weft and weave and
Filaments You now traverse
There is truth in what they say
But truth is veiled in lie
These deities deception
Has caused this world to die
I am the grand architect
A new son must soon rise
Your energy turns back to matter
As the phoenix you'll arise
Are you so narrow minded
That you cannot forsee the truth
That these pains of war
Shall be lessened
By your enemy’s
Unborn youth
So I gaze into
These lifeless holes
That once were called
Your eyes
And breath this breath of life back in thee
So you may once again arise

Th13teen Within A Circle
05:45
|

Rejoice for he has come
Our bastard son
He is the one
Born upon this night
Our perfect sacrifice
Hold him high, for all to see
Strip him down, his destiny
Upon this night, our master shall be pleased
For on this night, upon his body we shall feed
Close the circle, hand in hand
Incantations now began
13 shadows bathed in light
13 shadows act this rite
Hear his whimpers, pierce the night scape
From this altar, can be no escape
Anoint bare flesh as we consecrate
His body we shall desecrate
Brothers sister, play your part
Terror grips his, tiny heart
Blade and oil, to flay and burn
Blasphemic tongues, to spite and spurn
Pledge to him, for we have vowed
With new born blood, power endowed
This gift of flesh, will make it whole
To feast upon his sacred soul
I am he high priest of hate
With twelve disciples bound to this fate
This infant child our dark conflate
That my vile seed did procreate
His body lies naked and prone
Atop our alter of frigid stone
Ancient glyphs a deep etched rune
Unmask his fate, reveal his doom
My hands aloft raised to the night
With ancestral tools shall i thieve this light
Speak ancient tongues from forbidden scrolls
We un-flesh his body, and you eat his soul
Near is your end now
Fear all you’ve known
The incubus that cums this night
Shall thieve you of your life and light
This demons lust knows no control
His brutal theft shall take its toll
His treasure trove is not of gold
As he rapes the light
That is your soul

An Ancient Art
06:55
|
|||
From Forrest fiend and fate rescued was he
By healing hands of hope he has been freed
Entered passed and raised Fraternally
From this night forth was divined his destiny
Raised in light of sanctuary
Knowledge passed eternally
Hand to hand mouth to ear
Strength of soul a mind so clear
From the dark into the light
to the light
A righteous spark to burn the night
burn the night
You have now gleaned from me
All I could give to thee
My son you'll realize
My son you will arise
Spell and steel prevailed
In his heart
Deep in hope and faith,
Craft and art
An Ancient mystic magic
He would wield
As Sinew Stretched and flexed
With tempered steel
Under sacred step and sign
Step and sign
To hold fast do guard the line
Guard the line
Level and square what's right
Through steel scroll prayer And might
And move from darkness
Ever up towards the light
Destined he as both
Sword and shield
To lead as lord and liege
On battle field
To free forlorn souls
From purgatory
A god from a man has become
His destiny
For their blood flowed thick from the start
And their screams blind and deafen our hearts
For their blood flowed thick from the start
And their screams blind and deafen our hearts
Follow
In front of mirrors glass your destiny
Reflections of her prophecy
An oracle of sublime divinity
Inside your depth of soul revealed in she
Mount your ride with scroll and steel
Use this glass and in truth reveal
Bring to light your destiny
Crushing these false deities

Predestined
05:04
|
|||
Born, Ye child that should not have been
Conceived, you offspring of chance
Cast out by those who brought the breath of life into your body
Listen now and hear their evil chants
And now that tale begins of the boy that you had been
Your first day was to be your last
And your parents went and told them
You were to be brought before the coven
Striped down naked and your blood would cleanse their hands
Oh but little did they know
Of their fate which to unfold
Would leave them dead
And their souls be left to burn
Burn
It Was Predestined
Ripped apart when you were first born, born to die you bastard son
And your body to be mangled, bludgeoned and torn
I see the anger in your eyes you were an infant born to die
Now go and crush those who only brought you scorn
Now look long and hard my friend
At your fate which might have been
A newborn sacrifice left to bleed upon an altar
Now you know what you must do choose a path and do not falter
For your destiny will arrive soon
Oh but little did they know
Of their fate which to unfold
Would leave them dead
And their souls be left to burn
Burn
So we look back upon your past
Your time has come it’s here at last
And your destiny has arrived soon
And with sword and glass in hand
make mans final stand
And seal these gods within a mirrored tomb
Oh but little did they know
Of their fate which to unfold
Would leave them dead
And their souls be left to burn
Burn
It Was Predestined

SonRise reveal their sinful guise
Light our darkened skies
Your spirir gives rise
I’ve traveled so far
With hate deep inside
And now at the edge
Where gods will collide
Revealed is the wedge
That brought divine to divide
SonRise
The fire in your eyes
Burns through this veil of lies
Now you’ll find
That the truth lies deep in your mind
Harken souls that fell
In wars since past
Call forth ancient arts
And now hold fast
To your strength your heart
Your soul your mind
Evoke your gift to
Peer through space and time
Unshackle mental blinds
Reveal to all mankind
Unveil what’s kept them blind
Betrayed was all mankind
Twisted fates and poisoned minds
As hands were forced
And sides were drawn
As lines were crossed
And souls forlorn
In truth these gods
Were always one
Their lie now clear
To you our son
For swords and scrolls
Their time has past
Your weapon now
This mirrored glass
I am she who shatters dark
I am she the righteous spark
I am light I am the one
I give my light to you our son
The ebb and flow
Of light and shade
Return to one the two he made
Show them both their time has passed
Entrap them in this mirrored glass
Not sword nor scroll not light nor shade
All I have wrought cant be unmade
Gaze on me your time has passed
Your fail complete this mirrored glass
Razors edge resolve
Brought me to this place
These blood soaked shores
Where a balance displaced
These gods endgame
Threatened our whole mortal race
God and demon destroyed
My mirrors fate they shall face
SonRise reveal their sinful guise
Light our darkened skies
Your spirit gives rise
The whole of my strife
Predestined through time
My soul and my life
Are destined to sublime
Coalesce into one
This mirror and me
No less than a son
Of god I shall be
SonRise
The fire in your eyes
Burns through this veil of lies
Now you’ll find
That the truth lies deep in your mind
Make your stand
To avenge sins of the past
Take in hand this
sacred mirrored glass
Rays of light
Reveal and purify
Second sight
Reveals the truth in lie
Entrap their souls in glass
Fuse one soul that’s halved
Neither god shall last
Finally
The master stroke is here
A vortex of souls
Shields you from every fear
Transient threads tear through the tropsosphere
Bring to light
All that was unclear
In you all shall cohere
For you shall persevere
Shed all your doubt and fear
Take to air
On wings of destiny
Traverse this plane
As ethereal energy
Shattered shards in hand
You’ll set them free
Failed gods
Bound into this glass
Now smash this shard in half
Mankind is free at last
For these gods time has passed
This tale shall live on
Archived in infamy
Throughout all of time
‘cross myth and history
A balance now restored
A billion souls set free
The truth that’s now beheld
God is within we
God is inside me
This has set us free
God is within we
God is within we
Gods and men now see
God is all of we
God is all of we
God is all of we
Gods and Men
