1. Dream Eater (Intro Vocal) Dancing in the wind, everything begins, Dreams will try to live, catch them if you can Heads are in the sand, reaching out my hand, This is where it ends, this is where I stand Hate, Fate, Prolong the Change, Wait, or waste, what do you say? Oh, our valor shall not truly fall, instead we shall make our last wall This place is sacred from those who have defended it The plains call, call to me upon a bleeding wind, Never question the bond of kin Die, inside of battle Corrupted, by the conflict Bleed Drop like a rag doll, now there is peace Earth and sky betray this day my foe is alive and well to stay Die, inside of battle Corrupted, by the conflict Bleed Drop like a rag doll, now there is peace Earth and sky betray this day my foe is alive and well to stay In my dream
2.	Ancient Rite 02:22	lyrics	buy track
2. Ancient Rite I’m drawn to the stones, to commit my soul A shrine to the ancients that’s centuries old Then their faces appear, to attend this rite They’re feeding off fear, and evading the light Now bend down and pray, as thee ancients arrive They’re stealing your soul, whilst you’re still alive Let the horrors of the flames, come out and celebrate They have a taste for your flesh with glee As they hang from the trees Malleus Maleficarum states that these witches are The devil’s lower ranks, may the living smell the stenches of hell And let them kiss the snake The noose is tied tight, with the finest of knots To hang a heretic, and take away their voice faces appear, to attend this rite They’re feeding off fear, and evading the light Now bend down and pray, as thee ancients arrive They’re stealing your soul, whilst you’re still alive I will, make you say, say your prayers now I will, make you say, say a deathwish The sacrifice ripe for the gods to accept With the heart ripped out and the ribcage split The restless dead will not stop till they seize this world Once again And the devil will lead this final conquest I will make you say I will make you say Say a Deathwish
3.	Crushed to Death 02:02	lyrics	buy track
3. Crushed to death Giles Corey, we have accused you, of pacts with the devil, And witchcraft, Be punished Will you not speak in front of us now? You do not kneel and you do not bow? You disrespect the court, and you disavow the crown And you look like fresh meat to the whole of this crowd What form of man could Giles Corey be? Is he silent to be stubborn or is it to be free? A matter so absurd that he disrespects god When we find him guilty he’ll be more than flogged Sentence him to death, Sentence him to Death He’ll be Crushed to death, Sentence him to death Sentence him to death Lay him on the board with the sternum up put a stone on his chest with another thrust do his soul all the best with what’s yet to come What a feast for the eyes when there’s none from the tongue The devil in his ear with the hymn he sung Now his soul is his when it leaves his lungs Infinitely in time after the corpse is crushed Hellfire be his fate till the ashes are dust Pressed by stones, haunted soul Crushed to death with broken bones Pressed by stones haunted soul Crushed to death with broken bones, Yea

4. Darkened Euphoria Always consuming you say why, copious amounts Slow internal suicide, it’s my favorite fucking way to die Fill me with toxins, so that vomit will now flow Increase my intake rapidly, forever sickness grows Words begin to slur, vision is but a blur Always consuming you say why, copious amounts Slow internal suicide, it’s my favorite fucking way to die Fill me with toxins, so that vomit will now flow Increase my intake rapidly, forever sickness grows Words begin to slur, vision is but a blur

5. Lizzie borden (rhyme): Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother forty whacks When she saw what she had done, gave her father forty-one Lizzie Borden took an axe… Family has been unwritten for this was the final act Something grips me but is hidden, forcing me to find an axe Father sees our love forbidden, mother always holds us back Blackest soul and reddest vision, shadows tell me to, Attack To attack, Yea Tonight, I’ll grab the axe And I’ll strike their bodies Countless times With him, in my mind They knew it wasn’t me by the look in my eyes Shameless not feeling sick, I feel no remorse for what I did Vicious were the final hits, the will is done may the family arise Disgraced and fucked up, Execute them all Organs ripped out atop a dining table, a grim and sickly scene Lawmen come to take me away, to leave me rotting in prison Tonight, I’ll grab the axe And I’ll strike their bodies Countless times With him, in my mind They knew it wasn’t me by the look in my eyes Shameless not feeling sick, I feel no remorse for what I did Vicious were the final hits, the will is done may the family arise

6. Red Rivers Go Weak ones are weaponizing, product so tantalizing Whilst their all mesmerizing, keeping us hypnotized The taste of sea, the smell of sand It’s so serene it draws my hands But imbalance it draws me near The river flows red with fear With fear, with fear, fear Oh, Weak ones are weaponizing, product so tantalizing Whilst their all mesmerizing, keeping us hypnotized Edge of annihilation, edge of oblivion Edge of annihilation, edge of oblivion The taste of sea, the smell of sand It’s so serene it draws my hands But imbalance it draws me near The river flows red with fear The river flows red with fear The river flows red with fear, Yea

7. Scorn Enter this crypt, this is your home now you must stay here Broken ear to ear, this is a workshop for the dark one Spoke of he appears, embalming your organs whilst he cheers Here is home. Underneath the loam The soulless catacombs, sepulcher of scorn Here is home. Underneath the loam The soulless catacombs, sepulcher of scorn Welcome back To this crypt, this is your home now you must stay here Broken ear to ear, this is a workshop for the dark one Spoke of he appears, embalming your organs whilst he cheers Torture, escape just will be met with Failure, captured and so instilled with My fears, escape is only temporary Here is home. Underneath the loam The soulless catacombs, sepulcher of scorn Here is home. Underneath the loam The soulless catacombs, sepulcher of scorn Mangled and maimed by the process handling Had to be met with restrictions Tangled and chained down to the table Making the right incisions

8. Hope Will Not Remain Yea Wait I can see you there crawling in shadows again Just stay and sing, stay and sing like we always did A straying path, it begs me to follow Oh you at last, but your face is hollow There is, no remnants That can be, recovered Descendants, resemblance It can’t be found There is, no remnants That can be, recovered Descendants, resemblance It can’t be found, Yea Wait I can see you there crawling in shadows again Just stay and sing, stay and sing like we always did A straying path, it begs me to follow Oh you at last, but your face is hollow There is, no remnants That can be, recovered Descendants, resemblance It can’t be found There is, no remnants That can be, recovered Descendants, resemblance It can’t be found, Yea Highest peaks shall hit the ground, when mountains fall They crumble down, and from the ashes the phoenix rises From the ashes the phoenix Rises Yea A straying path, it begs me to follow Oh you at last, but this time hope will not remain

9. Shard of Broken Glass (This song is Dedicated to all lost friends and loved ones) I’m staring into a shard of broken glass I’m looking into the darkest parts of the past I see your face still sharing time with me Now that you’re gone I know that you are free Look what you gave us before you were swept away In the reflections I can see you’re here to stay I can’t let go of the questions left in me Now that you’re gone I know that you are free Be free You’ve become free from the boundaries that this world has I see you looking back as I stare into this piece of glass I won’t forget you till the last breath is left in me We’ll meet again in the end even if it’s an eternity Be Free I’m staring into a shard of broken glass I’m looking into the darkest parts of the past I see your face still sharing time with me Now that you’re gone I know that you are free Be Free Be Free Be Free

10. Shameless Misanthropy Oh nothing could foresee, the splendid display of hatred The bloodbath the orgy, Diseased of human flesh The laughter, disrupting, the slaughter The kindred all meshed Now after, cruel bastards Disgusting, their lives are all spent Never touched on such a sleekness Never smelled a scent so foul Never tasted such a sweetness Never taken such a gouge I can feel the apathy, the feeling is misanthropy I can feel the apathy, the feeling is misanthropy I can feel the apathy, the feeling is misanthropy I can feel the apathy, the feeling is misanthropy I can feel the apathy, the feeling is misanthropy Shitstained, bludgeoned, wet, corpses Flesh rots, with the stenches, much fouler than the sin

11. Lady Of The Dunes Left now only to the night realm Speech foul captured by the spite spell Take heed to dodge all the blight fel Searching the darkest of forests Child sick with my new nightmare So soft, I think we’ve found her This glow is the source of youth The source of all youth Keep still hun, there’s time here I won’t neglect those fine tears Pursued by my compelling To wind up with a tracheal tear My blood satyr, my lust free Equipped Spaded, to end the story But first savor, these tender moments Through white cedar, followed endless My plan clear, delimb decapitate I am the master now Heaving in discourse Leaving a brisk corpse Only a torso Beeched on the dune front bare
