Benediction Transcend the Rubicon 1. Unfound Mortality Normalicy in threat evermore Taken apart within the mental core By ones who walk the wounded land Uncanny destiny so damned Mortal eccentricity Overrule the weird in alacrity Contradiction tragedy pays Immortal, shallow, fearless and empty ways Following a hollow Grail Men from nowhere shall prevail Now oblivion waits Horrendous earth raped eternal Men from nowhere Look through their minds eye What do you see? A rigid life, indefinitely Innumerable victims Cry in vain Disintegrate in residual pain Perished shrouded terror Targets uncertainty Hunt carries on Gains predictability Touched by the dead A pre-determined soul Final abnormality Sounding on in a lifeless death toll Tine's a way for them to waste Our existence bloom Strive for sanity Amentia's doom Normality obscured within Hideous errors rapidly erased New open wound has embowelled Remains enraged No stranger men have walked the earth In such a lucid form Victimise abnomalies And defecating norm Afraid to die a second time So living in fear Enforcing strange supremacy Until their vision's clear Men from nowhere 2. Nightfear There's a disease a wrenching bane Adverse twisted minds Grip of fear within the flesh Is eating you alive Ruins the lives of innocent A fitful waking sleep Sadly the world it shakes it's head And begins to weep And now to sleep perchance to dream But you cannot hear your cries Memories run like rivers flow Blackened waters of the mind Phobias, fear of crypts and caves Oblivion denied All you see such a lie to behold Born through a cradle of time Stomach wrenching, sweat runs cold Pointless nightmares of bizarre and sublime Summon them now, arise your fears Release the pain or drown Acidic noise like knell of doom Darkened passages revealing gloom Nightfear Creeping on the skulls of man Softly at the dawn Sharpened edge of nightfears blade Pray you now for rising morn Divine faith a childish prayer Drilled into you from birth Yet nightfear continues on Returning with a curse Now the fortitudes in light But darkened eve draws near Dawning on a ghoulish thought The night belongs to fear 3. Paradox Alley Thoughts through the window Of my mind's eye Bring another slice of terror Yet away with my fears I cross this pitiful world's end Drawn to the mortification With the creeping of my flesh Arising lair of wounds Inside sentient apostle Pleasured in wreaking gore A stenchland graveyard haunt Amplify my horrors more Cutting me, the fleshless surgeon Drowning in his pain Executed blindfold shroud Senses all that die again Nightmare at every turn Delirious the spirits burn Consuming mind and thought torn raw Deafened by abysmal roar Little sister's razor blades Tear holes across your faith Deafening hymn unholy ghost Supplication to their whetstone host Contradicting avatars stain the embryo unborn Dripping walls, awash in fear I'm dragged along the gallows field Cancer tree is calling me A place of bloated corpses I'm in pain Abducted in a maelstrom No calm before the rage Floating in a sea of filth An undetermined age Carrion for the skinless ones Who trod the paths before Bathing wounds in leprous tears While screaming nevermore The silence consuming Wonders without end 4. I Bow To None I looked within myself and I turned Many laddered mental maze burnt Forever is the time that I walked along Sufferance in silence is my syndrome Take my path - Never last In ruthless pain - I'll always reign Silent sound - Stalking ground Cemetery run - I bow to none Dominating pray is my will A homicidal urgeance to kill Slash and stab the bitches of witchery Deafening the screams of their agony Take my path - Never last In ruthless pain - I'll always reign Silent sound - Stalking ground Cemetery run - I bow to none In my theatre of madness Lone player on the stage Woebegotten my audience Momentary respite is taken from my rage Shuddering in ecstasy At the brutal crimes I've done Your so blind you perfect fool I bow to none Open wounds in arrogant bliss Skillfully remove Innards in a vulgar heap And finally the womb Touch the flesh, desecrate the skin Wading in the gore Like a vulture I feed upon This sacrificial whore Their living bodies leave me so vexed Copulation joyous dead sex Morbid absorbtion in fantasy My auspicious orgasm parody Took my path - Did not last In ruthless pain - I always reigned Silent sound - Stalking ground Cemetery run - I bow to none 5. Painted Skulls From the museum of sleep Unliving eyes see death's subtle jest In my sorrow they mourn the past Yet celebrate their eternal rest Relieving the worlds pain In a church of misery Dampening the lantern flame Upon your bended knee Painted skulls Painted skulls Warm and close the air runs hard Around the loyal gravesite Wailing moon in a putrid sky Hungry and eager tonight Our cries pierce their world An invocation to mourn Celebration, fete for fate Of unearthly dead souls reborn Like a slime trail of a slug Transgress to the husk Unburied souls in restful bliss Bursting forth from crust Stale the stench of arising souls In ritual macabre Drag you down infuse your mind By blade or poisoned barb Painted skulls Painted skulls The festival end now they sleep Shrouds of pain another year Return to their boneyard We surviving ones await in fear Mourning unsurpassed To the bitter end Broken dreams and broken lies Painted skulls, the children cry 6. Violation Domain Crawl on our knees through the gutter From an untimely demise By remission of all sins Forsaking old and wise Violation of domain An area of conquest Which only we have one Don't stagnate within your self Transcend the Rubicon Suffering, torment, anguish, pain At life's shore slowly breaks the waves Turn of the tides, revenance of rage Blistering so were the thoughts When shackled to a wall Flagrant ways of conformation Your death sentence appalled Now plead for a worthless life Deny us for your guilt Escape within the stoney tomb Which you yourself have built Independence of a drug To satisfy the need Orgies filled with travesty To sow all mocking seeds Originality the one Who's screaming at the crime Sinister the ways of wisdom Expand or face the fire Sterile splinter of self doubt Thorn in your boney hide Counterfeit within adept Colossal is the pride Breeding cynicism Grandeur crying in your face Overture derisive laughter Hateful human race Incantation of your thoughts Upon this mortal coil Open wide the jaws of hate Serving them so loyal Reeking contradiction When you're laughing as you fail Believing in your innocence Tells a sorrowed tale Autumn fall upon a life This season at an end Darkened shadows all around And yet without a friend Realisation dawns on you It's time for you to face Hateful human race 7. Face Without Soul Reflected face, dragged from the void without a soul Illusive dream, poisoned with no control Consuming time, condemned arise from glassy sleep A vengeful mind, prowling into dreams it seeps Now it seeps Murdered mirror takes revenge upon the narcissic one A trail of vengeance follows, bleaching bones a bastard son Gaze upon silver coloured soul, bizarre occurs Rapid ageing, growing old, alias the blur Anomalous entity Drawn into your dream Solace ingesting age Is in the way it breeds Bitterness the crying words Corroded affair betrayed Weeping in its futile anguish Leaving its victims shattered and decayed Pause for reflection Screeching, deformed, frozen face Threatening from the unquiet place Stalking beauty to feel such pain A pleasing violence it's so insane So insane In reflection the eyes they glare and gleam Muted howlings from within a victims dream Ferocious are its embroilled cries The mirror never lies 8. Bleakhouse Cut, dissected from within Like clockwork run the cells An unearthly silent din A constant toll of bells Mocking laughter evermore No sight of a refrain Waiting on my lonely quest Asylum of the brain Brain The darkest caverns of my mind Hold terrors so consuming Look within and soon you'll find Your psyche I'm subsuming More than flesh and blood can bear Ensnared within my brain Eyes in fear, eyes in terror Adversity is pain Adversity is pain Pain... Within the faculty of fools Leering warders, intimidation Playing games at all my rules Is feeding their frustration The blood inside my temples pulsing While I'm locked away Thoughts within my head convulsing For the time my captors pay Stop the torment, cut me loose Unbind me from my chains Before my eyes a veil of mist Encompassing and grey Once again Momentarily free of pain Pain... Pain... Pain... Stop the pain and rip me open Tear out my tormentors Release me from agony Blinding my nerve centres Only known emotions Are the anger and the sadness Overshadowed totally by Unrevokable madness Held inside this sterile box My thoughts turn now to charnel Fantasise, yet I remain Still locked inside eternal I'll not escape but I will wait Patience will run true Visitation you will see This madness is in you 9. Blood From Stone Roasted visions unherald the call Pay the piper or face the fall Unpleasant benevolence Undesired, it's your defence Rotting flavoured retribution Burning hotly in your throat Perished antiseptic inner domains Drowning love begins to float The familiar screams aloud Mainline my blackened bones Exaction with a vengeance History consumes its own Wicked voice, a whispering flame Stems from all past foul deeds Telling me that you're to blame Ruled by your bitter creeds An ordered mind, my constitution Left me on my own Aggravating your solution Running blood from stone Bastard wanton act betrayed me Left me all alone Yet I'll survive Honesty a poor mutation An uprising complication Doubtful you will ever change Senility onset of age I'm betrayed Red blood out, the black runs in Spreading wings and claws Flooding me in a sickly grin With sharply smiling jaws Hate... Save me all that humane thought Judge not the moment past Frozen heart, to the last bone Pumping on this blood from stone Wicked voice, a whispering flame Stems from all past foul deeds Telling me that you're to blame Ruled by your bitter creeds An ordered mind, my constitution Left me on my own Aggravating your solution Running blood from stone 10. The Wrong Side Of The Grave [Cover : The Accused, Guest Vocals : Karl Willetts, Jan] [Chris De Koeyer, Macka] 11. Artefacted / Spit Forth [Compilation Of : "Spit Forth The Dead" And "Artefacted] [Irreligion", Both Taken From : "Subconscious Terror"] Contained in blood scrawl, compiled evil artifacts. Insane instigators of ritualistic pacts. Necronomicon, bestial methods, age old torrid acts. If darker side thus beckon, in limbo boundaries must be smas- hed! Released from nether regions, bowels of the earth. Seeping through cracks to foul the air above. A lifeline to those to which sleep is eternal. Concocted since the dawn of time. To now release agonised souls. Spit forth the dead! Spit forth the dead! Carried on the air, purity aiding the filth. Seeking consecrated ground, sensing cemeteries in a blanket of dust. Fertalising the infertile from six feet under. Seeking consecrated ground, sensing cemeteries in a blanket of dust. Fertalising the infertile from six feet under. Intoxicating with false life, coaxing from the brink of decay. Animating the inanimate, from wooden box to light of day. Exodus from the ground, stale forms tasting air. Each united in their cause, yet of it's ground. Ground mates unaware. Now the dead govern the earth. All resistance to them crushed. Life is now minority, the world another hell. Wipeout!
