Roots of Steel

This fucking destruction
The world that's meant to be
I'll show you redemption
Lies you need to see
Falsehoods of the earth united
I am the seventh sign
You calm your worthless offspring
My word of kingdom come
Roots of Steel
The sky in iron
Marble and glass
You dare not mourn
Desecrating your hate
Raping your lifeblood
Endlessly tortures
For your inner sight
War
Murder
Cardinal Sin
Rape
Virtue
Primeval Men
Trust the words
Of the ancient ignorance
Their hatred for life
is invincible glory
Follow their cry
Follow their call
Their idiotic calling
Under their tired banner
They seek to steal the sky
They seek to kill the mind
They huddle in their cathedral
Stupid and cruel
Their wish for self destruction
Their hatred for their own construction
Do they know
their fallacy?

Kingdom
03:58
|

A body of souls
The public at large
Collective in whole
Singular in past
Lost of the memories
Accept the blasphemies
The monstrous formless veil
The cancerous weightless death
Rise up
and show me your kingdom
Rise up
and show me your killing hand
You can't
your trial is worthless
My strength
Invincible Mind
Deception
My mortal power
You betray yourself
To my unseen motive
You can't deny me
When my reason is naught
you can't defy me
When I can destroy you
Failure
is my call
Weakness
is my strength
Enlightenment
The passion of the ages
Throw it away, we know
the truth
Life is just a game
A prize to the lowest bidder
Ignore the rules of reason
Play for all you're worth
Now, see
What we have become
The void of strength
Isn't it beautiful?

Forgiveness
04:18
|
|||
|
You beg, you scream
Criminally complacent
You live, you breathe
Defacing memory
Do you mind, if I take
This last moment to make
A pact with all
the vice you have shown
Forgiveness
Eternal dread
Forgiveness
For your dead
Forgiveness
Eternal strife
Forgiveness
For your life
Despite infinite sin, your freedom awaits
How convenient, that life has no meaning
Wonder not the meaning of your fates
The answer: the choices you make while living
A shining beacon of good
A terrible visage of evil
Wipe the slate clean...
to reward the monster?
Live with honor
Live with guilt
Live with sin
I'm opting out
Life is a wonder
You choose to desecrate
The love of what exists
Destroys that which doesn't
You know your enemy
The mass tyranny
Forever under cover
Forever undermined
Genius of man's sight
Genius of man's creation
The god of yesterday
the tyrant of tomorrow
Forgiveness
Eternal Life
Forgiveness
For your dead
Forgiveness
Eternal strife
Forgiveness
For you there is none

Omnicide
05:01
|

Behold the beauty which your eyes can't see
Behold the terror that you are bound to be
Do you know the fate of your essence?
The primacy of your matter
You elect to instill a sense of morality
You detect that still your mind is brutality
But never do you question, a hidden corruption
Drawing first a blank and then a gun
Force is the only language you speak
Scream out against progress, lest the light blinds your eyes
And if you so desire, you may rot in the past
But don't you dare take us with you
Righteous evil, complacent in squalor
Fit not for us, but for the beasts
We are humanity, the pinnacle of life
And you disgrace our potential
Enslaved by primal masters
Your god is a weapon to intimidate
The counsel will bring armageddon
The end of the world, the final goal
And though you kill in the name of life
And though you live so as to die
And though your morality is base propogation
You crown yourselves as the holiest ideal
But no, you have just a phantom of virtue
Even now, you champion your ignorance
Hoping that none question your innocence
Your vanity is omnicide

Monolithic
04:10
|
|||
|
Approach the vast wasteland
Appreciate the mindless stretch
Know the conquered souls
That struggle to remain
See the valleys
The brilliant mountain peaks
Know the wonder
Of the mind that built this land
Infinite fertility
The womb of all life
Before you lies
The nature of creation
Rising above
In earth's lost glory
the virtue that created
The monument to life
The power of man
To create and destroy
Infinitely Monolithic
To love and to hate
The enemy of life
The mistress of strife
The torrential betrayal
Of laziness and pain
Give in to weakness
Give in to flaws
Reaping the crops
Of self-immolation
Bring in the hatred
Bring in the love
For all those now
Who prefer the dead
The power of man
To create and destroy
Infinitely Monolithic
To love and to hate

Dream Disciple
04:17
|

|
This cult of murder drove me to insanity
Insomia takes me to the demons playground
Feasting upon the fears of tonight
Gorging upon the years of regret
Tearing apart, what you left of me
Sweet death as I lie dreaming
Blood flowing, sins of my mind
crimen somnium
I can only hope to wake
Hellish torments await me
Devils I have awoken
Demons I have to conquer
Is there hope for me?
I call on my will
My redemption rests
In my mortal knowledge
I have but to free my mind
I have but to free my soul
I am not a prisoner here
You can't tie me down
You can't escape from I,
t hat haunts you
The dreams that beg for yesterday
a chance to relive the mistake you made
Dream Disciple
Your mind is haunted
You can't lift this deadly torture
Somiocide est vestri terminus
Tossing Turning
Midnight Burning
Dreams are purifying me
Limpid ferrum tractus vena
Set me free

Life
06:07
|
|||
|
I breathe you in to my pumping lungs,
the frost becoming one with me
I take you in to my beating heart,
accepting the fuel that carries me
You caress my skin with your freezing embrace,
taking from me the life that I forge
Impossible barriers torment this mind
And in defiance of you, I live
Your spirit, oppression, sapping my strength
Your terror, death, drains my courage
I bring my trusted senses to bear
And level my sights upon your fear
I steal from you power, your might becomes mine
I soar on your wings, your laws uphold me
You try to slay me, your daggers of ice
But instead, I thrive
Against your strength, I steal my intellect
Against your cold, I burn with passion
Against your torrent, I stand my shield
And I will fight forever
For life
And though my hated burns with the might of the sun
This material frailty betrays my spectral intention
The framework collapses, bequeathing my mind
And I give myself to eternity

Defeat
08:26
|
|||
|
Move your limbs, struggle in vain
Tears shall flow as I am the wall
Desecration, intoxication
Humilation, your destination
Coming for you inevitably
achievement is not yours to know
Breaking down, your strength vanishing
And I emerge victorious
Screaming out, you try to slay me
Screaming out with righteous vengeance
Screaming out, you become your weakness
Giving out becomes your only hope
I am inconquerable
I am the only invincible
I am the final destination
I am the grace of life departed
I am defeat: The god, the infin ite
I am defeat: The king of everything
I am defeat: The hope of fearlessness?
I am defeat: The fear of hopelessness!
I am defeat: the truth, the absolute
I am defeat: here your struggle ends
I am defeat, the destiny of entropy
I am defeat, I am defeat, I am defeat
Struggle, Pain, Torment, Despair
And more, shall I deliver to you
Gnashing your teeth in defiance of me
Yet you know my power is undying
Determination is fuel to burn
Wasting away, insanity corruption
Baring your heart with titanic effort
Don't you know it will all be dust?
Don't you know the futility of life?
Don't you know the worth of struggle?
A century's passing will find your bones
Millenia have passed and still I my reign
All the glory of mankind's creation
By my hand, become rubble and rust
All the glory of your life's elation
By my hand, betraying your trust
