Death and reprisal
We put our god on trial
For a murder so vile
It defies all understanding
Such are the ways of men
I couldn't do a goddamn thing
As we watched you die
Senseless destruction
A young life interrupted
A victim of corruption, bred by greed
In this cold room we all stand and mourn
A crowd of mutes come to sing our silent song
We're all here to watch the dead perform
An explosion of hysterics
At your final curtain call
If I could climb my way to heaven
I know that I would hear him say
"My brother I did not die for nothing
I'm with you always"
In the darkest of seasons
I've searched for a reason
A lesson learned in this life lost
Another martyr to the frost
Another brethren laid to rest
Another debt repaid to death
The final chapter doth now close
In this anthology of woes
Life of confusion
A young man disillusioned
The answer and the ending were the same
Oftentimes
I wonder why
Things had to be this way
Through the dark and the light
We march on
Through ashes of extinguished flame
And I know you are gone
So long
I guess some things we cannot change
Tread forth with your head held high (x2)
Through the dark and the light
In trying times, I'm with you always

Birthed of the darkness
Born of the dead
Oh, the rivers, they shall run red
I found you steeped in your own blood
Innocence lay dead and lifeless
Lamentations of a love lost
But I could never leave you
So I call forth the great deceiver
Oh Satan! Hear my call!
And in the night I search the dark
To find the blood to feed my queen
My love
Undead, reawakened by the beast
Betrothed to death
Eternally
My valentine unhallowed
Oh, dark prophet
Return her from the gates of hell
As I lay you down
On this altar
My paramour cloaked in sanguine serenity
Imbued with necromantic life
Unholy theogeny
Ho, behold reanimation
The demonic serum reignites your sutured form
Injected of the essence
Of a thousand darkly blessings
In this vessel you are reborn
Forever my undead confidante
My virulent animus
Quarter the carcass
Cascading blood
Atrocious murder my labor of love
It's all for you
Through this dark ritual
The girl had escaped death
Once again to walk the earth
No heartbeat in her chest
And this new life of sin
It shall never end
For when the sun sets she
Must feed on flesh again
I would give you everything
My one true love

Death's Design
04:24

It's all come down to this
Your crutch has become a burden
Your sail has become an anchor
This pasttime has become a dark possession
Your last moments paralyzed by fear
It's only a matter of time
The final comedown
The devil has found you
Right where you rest your head
And now you are lost with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No second chance as you drift away
Crushed, entombed
This room is but a casket
This divinely inspired death will be yours alone
And from the depths, the beast shall rise
We ride on the backs of the fallen
We are the end
It's only a matter of time
In this final hour is the dying of the light
Beckoned in by the siren's song
This is Death's Design
From the depths ride forth the horsemen
We shall rise

Dark Compulsions

Charge upon their barracks
The onslaught of the phalanx
Eternal carnage, so vividly ingrained
Naught are the survivors
Revelations homicidal
Revel in the violence epic
Drench the earth in the blood of your enemies
Desolation is cursed upon
He who begets the mass grave
Long after the armistice
Combat calls my name
This thirst for death is satiated
With every corpse left mutilated
But the deceased oh how their eyes haunt me still
Trample forth with fervent hostility
Ares I am your servant
I am overwhelmed with bliss as I watch the blood pour from your throat
And your face turn blue
I feel this darkness washing over me
Soldier of the blood red moon
These trenches are my hallowed ground
Combat my endless waltz
Cries for absolution
The cadences to this song
Militant formations masquerade
On this death-laden promenade
I can't just walk away, it's all I know
The dogs of war are on the loose
This thirst for carnage
Born of war, internalized
My Dark Compulsions grow
No longer a soldier but,
A killer indiscriminate
This killing spree is now my war at home...
