Tracklist: 01. X [Instrumental] 02. In The Court Of The Dragon In the court of the dragon Death of gods and world In the court of the dragon You will know your worth Hammer clenched Open mouth Living 'neath the tides of pain Surely any man would drown Horrid king Cries unheard Bathed in blood You'll get what you deserved Burning home Only child Hidden from the deadly ones Hunted far but never found Nightmare past Haunting him Bides his time Sinks into the sea In the court of the dragon Death of gods and world In the court of the dragon You will know your worth Final clash Beast and man Rising from the violent waves With the bloodied head in hand Open mouth Swallowing the king Gods devoured whole Light extinguishing No more Will the sun look down to illuminate the world? In spite of all the hate behind these eyes I've seen that only one of us survives I'm here to destroy you, I'm here to avenge In the court of the dragon, I descend The stars have died And the heavens go up in flames Earth Sinks The stars have died And the heavens go up in flames Earth Sinks The stars have died And the heavens go up in flames Earth Sinks The stars have died And the heavens go up in flames In spite of all the hate behind these eyes I've seen that only one of us survives I'm here to destroy you, I'm here to avenge In the court of the dragon, I descend In spite of all the hate behind these eyes I've seen that only one of us survives I'm here to destroy you, I'm here to avenge In the court of the dragon, I descend In the court of the dragon Death of gods and world In the court of the dragon You will know your worth 03. Like A Sword Over Damocles Dark winter Necrotic Seems this will never end Transgressions My burdens are forever Denial Holding on It's grip, it chokes the life Of what was and will be The Eternal present Who of you will dare to sit in the throne Who of you will dare You keep hanging this over me Like a sword over Damocles My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway Like a sword over Damocles Declension This poison The power killing me Detachment Who am I? What have I done? The violence Full of hate The habit of our sins Atonement buried in an unmarked grave Who of you will dare to sit in the throne Who of you will dare You keep hanging this over me Like a sword over Damocles My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway Like a sword over Damocles Is it all you hoped for Is it all that you dreamed Is it all you hoped for Feel the weight being king Is it all you hoped for Feel the weight being king Who of you will dare to sit in the throne Who of you will dare You keep hanging this over me Like a sword over Damocles My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway Like a sword over Damocles You keep hanging this over me Like a sword over Damocles My life held by a thread and it's starting to sway Like a sword over Damocles 04. Feast Of Fire Churning through the miseries I find a tear unshed This emptiness inside of me It brings me out for dead Compulsiveness for self destruction Impulse led by entropy I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down, keep sinking down I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down until these feelings begin to blur Sunlight falters As we wait the world goes up in flames I know we will be the ones To fill up all these graves Compulsiveness for self destruction Impulse led by entropy I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down, keep sinking down I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down until these feelings begin to blur It was all a blur and then it was nothing It was all a blur and then it was nothing Churning through the miseries I find a tear unshed This emptiness inside of me It brings me out for dead Sunlight falters As we wait the world goes up in flames I know we will be the ones To fill up all these graves I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down, keep sinking down I'm crawling Crawling through the feast of fire Burning Sinking down until these feelings begin to blur It was all a blur and then it was nothing It was all a blur and then it was nothing Nothing 05. A Crisis Of Revelation Banished immortal Deformed out of recognition Everything believed in was dead Floundered in the void Suffering the constant scourge Cursed to walk alone amongst the stars A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun Time will betray (Take me) Under skies that we age (Betray me) I lie and wait for them to open the gates Take me Old ones now emerge Evil beyond comprehension Bringing forth the ending of all man Captive in their stare Deafening, their voices heard Anomie, broken by their words A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun Time will betray (Take me) Under skies that we age (Betray me) I lie and wait for them to the open gates Take me Waiting for all of it to fall Waiting for all of it to fall Waiting for all of it to fall Waiting for all of it to fall Banished immortal Deformed out of recognition Everything believed in was dead Floundered in the void Suffering the constant scourge Cursed to walk alone amongst the stars A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun A crisis of revelation A dawn without a sun Time will betray (Take me) Under skies that we age (Betray me) I lie and wait for them to open the gates Take me Time will betray (Take me) Under skies that we age (Betray me) I lie and wait for them to open the gates Take me 06. The Shadow Of The Abattoir Snow covers every path Stumbling, no turning back Pushing further till I fall Looking up, I hear him call What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way No cover from the sun Crumbling, fall one by one Look in envy at the dead They took pity as they said What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Black waters in our wake Sinking, await our fate Our dead future has arrived Dark refrain, we can't deny What's known is now lost forever Endless shadows lead the way Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the ground to the sky From the depths I will rise From the depths I will rise Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Don't go searching for the battle You won't find any beasts to slay You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir Snow covers every path Stumbling, no turning back You'll rip yourself to pieces You'll drive yourself insane In the shadow of the abattoir 07. No Way Back Just Through I am the blight, I am the emptiness I am the night that comes for you You can't escape 'cause I am everywhere My immanence surrounding you (Going nowhere) You're falling further (Falling further) You're falling further down (Going nowhere) You're falling further (Falling further) You're falling further down (Divine permeation of everything you think you are) (There's no way back, no way back, just through) There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through I am the curse, I am the ambience The sacred sounds that call for you There is no peace, this is a reckoning Your ignorance destroying you (Going nowhere) You're falling further (Falling further) You're falling further down (Going nowhere) You're falling further (Falling further) You're falling further down (Divine permeation of everything you think you are) (There's no way back, no way back, just through) There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through I will not live to see the final justice But I'll be the one that comes for you I am the blight, I am the emptiness I am the night that comes for you You can't escape 'cause I am everywhere My immanence surrounding you There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through There's no way back, no way back No way back, just through (No way back, just through) No way back, just through No way back 08. Fall Into Your Hands Destined to burn Those words carved into their heads Fearful they won't say his name, they gaze Off afar, in mute dismay Nothing left sacred We are the ones who burn it all to the ground As we say our prayers We are the ones who burn it all to the ground As we say our prayers We must admit Our punishment is deserved Callous to those that surround us all Reaping in service of self Fruit from a dying womb We are the ones who burn it all to the ground As we say our prayers We are the ones who burn it all to the ground As we say our prayers So we fall (Fall!) Fall into your hands So we fall (Fall!) Fall into your hands So we fall Fall into your hands Fall (Fall!) Fall into your hands Go! Sanctioned to serve Brought to your knees Lost inside my head Freedom to bleed Summoned from the depths (Summoned from the depths) Crawl towards the sky A fleeting light breaks through The dark and bitter sky Sanctioned to serve Brought to your knees Lost inside my head Freedom to bleed Summoned from the depths Crawl towards the sky A fleeting light breaks through The dark and bitter sky What if we were meant to fail? What if we were meant to die? What if we were meant to fail? Running for our whole lives Destined to burn Those words carved into their heads Fearful they won't say his name, they gaze Off afar, in mute dismay Nothing left sacred We are the ones who burn it all to the ground As we say our prayers So we fall (Fall!) Fall into your hands So we fall (Fall!) Fall into your hands So we fall Fall into your hands Fall Fall into your hands Fall 09.

The Phalanx Within the thrill, amidst the kill One against all, soon blood will spill We cannot wait to make your pain We are the burn inside your brain Herding the weak to fire Scorching the fleeing liars Witness the dying saboteurs Carcasses washed upon the shores Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars Burn the bridge Take the ash Scatter deceptiveness We are the ones who led the way This path to hell and misery An endless war, a hollow cause When we all die, we'll see no gods Herding the weak to fire Scorching the fleeing liars Witness the dying saboteurs Carcasses washed upon the shores Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars Burn the bridge Take the ash Scatter deceptiveness I'm the source Of your hate Only yourself to blame Dying Dying once seemed so heroic to me Giving this body for a people in need Now I realize there is nothing to see Nothing but dirt and decay Decay Decay Dying Dying once seemed so heroic to me Giving this body for a people in need Now I realize there is nothing to see Nothing but dirt and decay Decay Decay Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars If they should take me Then may they break me Kill me, burn me But I'll stay torched into the heart Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars Don't let this take me Split me wide open Rip me from the stars If they should take me Then may they break me Kill me, burn me But I'll stay torched into the heart
