Saille Irreversible Decay 1. Nomen [Instrumental] 2. Passages Of The Nemesis Fragments of seconds are eternal to last No past – No present – No future Time becomes an empty content in a context none will understand Like sparkles in a sea of fire Awaiting for hope to pass by Chances are it never will And still we wait without result Falling stars ablaze a trail Out there, debris will rain Marking a path of cosmic death Crack, swish and hiss are introducing physical vibrations and electromagnetic impulses Passages of the solar companion star Nemesis through the Oorth cometh cloud will trigger again A grand impact – One massive collision All leading to what happened sixty-six million years ago A sudden drop of temperatures An arctic era… A glacial epoch is to come Extinction becomes inevitable Many are there sleeping in earth-crossing orbits And it’s too late when they are seen… Temperatures drop suddenly Hypothermia shivers through The inevitable is happening Global extinction is next… 3. Overdose Of Gray Fallout Black dust pollutes the earth Its foul contamination spreads Endless half-life No unspoiled land remains Harvest equals sickness Food’s defiled Search all day To defeat Hunger Water’s foul Still we drink Gathering Toxins Internal and external exposure to gamma radiation has altered cellular structures. Due to the constant low-dose exposure the cell’s repairing processes stop gradually. An increased developpement of cancers threatens the entire population. You’re defiled Radiate Solitude’s My faith On my own Rotting slow Nuclear Torment Tornment Tornment Fallout Still remains A lost line of infertiles are the last rememberers of birth a high form of enlightenment has been reached self destruction of all – an overdose of gray a high form of enlightenment has unconsciously been reached self destruction of all – an overdose of gray 4. Plaigh Allais History repeats Through sudden apprehension Cold pain, biting sweat Without an indication Pandemia proceeds firmly Slowly delirium spreads Everyone contagious The fourth plague has begun The double helix entwined Cells decay from inside Recovery absent The big sleep almost instant “Float to the light” “Detach yourself” “Be the light” “Be the light” “My time has come” “Let me be” “Lock me up” “Leave me behind” “I am useless” History repeats Through sudden apprehension Cold pain, biting sweat Without an indication The population decimated Mass graves bulging Doomed perspectives Of a sudden end “Civilisation should start again” “We’ll never succeed” “We always will” “The plague will return” “We’ll be immune” “We never will” 5. The Orion Prophecy I am Alpha and Omega The beginning and the ending They have spotted a stellar flare on a nearby star So powerful that had it been from our sun It would have triggered mass extinction So did it happen, before gods walked the earth And before then even one time more Another sunspot peak is already set The earth axis will be disrupted… All will be subject of catastrophic downfall… Priests entwined their knowledge in religion But with passage of time that knowledge was lost Evolution will slip quickly downwards Fourteen thousand years ago priests deciphered the secrets of polar reversals At present nothing is left, past messages are neglected Foretold prophecies are set for the magic year A spiritual golden age will be on the rise again For those who survive and want to live for forty years in darkness “Of all the changes that take place in the sky This reversal is the biggest and the most complete” 6. Revelations “And the same hour was there a great earthquake, And the tenth part of the city fell, And in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand And the remnant were affrighted, And gave glory to the God of heaven” And hell where revolution unties The shattered sound of golden trumpets Glorify the coming of war In the name of the Lord we seek repentance And strife for our word to be the truest A crusade against the unworthy Preaching death above life Throughout ages men is known For his craving for power And will to be the only one We’re all equally less And mean nothing in this vast world 7. Maere Hidden signs were everywhere Ill presages of doom Messengers of peril Which malice was to come ? Ravens descended To proof the left-hand path The presence of a smokeless spark The age of Erebos ! Slowly light fades Our minds are choked by endless fog We tried to prevent this coming The bear has been buried All rituals performed But all what’s left is despair An eerie gloom remained Our lives are choked by endless fog Apatic and undone S e seo an oidhche thug dhuinn ar dòchas, seo an oidhche mun cluinn gach deòraidh, Oidhch’ thug teàrnadh o bhàs bu beò dhuinn Ravens descended in the west To proof the left-hand path The presence of a smokeless spark The age of Erebos ! Slowly light began to fade Only an endless night remained A cloak of warm empathic shade 8. Tephra The heaven erupts and vapors iginite Black rain falls down Covering the shortcomings of our doomed mankind Dark clasts rain down Silencing the voices of a global failed sect Clastic clouds rage down from the summit A hazardous flow, evolutions surge Into ash, mud and rock Broken by fire Descend into darkness Expanding for more than thousand miles While droplets obscure the light of the sun A never-ending volcanic winter Cold will conquer us all An unusual climate aberration Results into famine, death and despair Eighteen hundred and froze to death And brown snow will fall Obscuring the new summers No one stays behind in this new aged world Tephra! Salvation from the earth! 9. Tremendous They form a cluster ! A swarm of harmonic destruction caused by earth’s core The endless waves of surface reshape the crust and will – de – stroy every resistance We’re in the seismic shade There’s time to rest Living in constant fear The fear of death Fear Earth’s Rage Brace yourself For the next collision Of inner plates Everything has been fragmented to its essence, its core foundation Only some winged survived Scavengers flourished Feasting on spread remains Awaiting their mythic kindred To summon all before the throne Gert Monden — Drums Jonathan Vanderwal — Vocals, Guitars Dries Gaerdelen — Keyboards, Vocals Yves Callaert — Guitars Reinier Schenk — Bass, Guitars (lead) (track 9)
