Orbit Weaver

Weightless I drift in a sea of dark tranquillity
I drift to the light, a lone lantern in the dead of night
Limitless limbs unfurl before the sun in ecliptic malformation
Appalled and mesmerized by this grotesque garden of eyes
Unable to shut my sight
Fate incarnate weaving the road
Silken tongues creeping down my throat
O' numinous one
The Orbit Weaver
Her sea of strings drags me towards the fire
In destined death
My passage was spun in the stars
Sovereign of spheres
The Orbit Weaver
I plead you to disentangle me from
This constellation
Let my fate be mine
Watching my world entombed in a veil as pale as the infertile moon
Its orbit uncoiled, now wandering the endless void
Boundless amounts of bewailing spirits pulled to their purgatorial rest
In streams of woeful chants, weeping as one in trance
Waves of web flood the cosmos
Enslaving us all in comatose
Blindly we bleed on predestined paths of strings
By this omnipotent god of fate
Is there no escape?
The Orbit Weaver
Her sea of strings drags me towards the fire
In destined death
My passage was spun in the stars
Sovereign of spheres
The Orbit Weaver
I plead you to disentangle me from
This constellation
Let my fate be mine

The Crescent King
06:20
|

|
As the dust sinks to the soil to bury the bones
Those left behind crack their eyes upon this shattered stone
Beholding ashen oceans of holocaust
The meagre minds of men cannot comprehend
Loss in such capacity
The foul truth guts their hearts
Collapsing in the pallid sands of life deceased
Blessed to survive, cursed to be alive
In perpetual perdition till they cease to breathe
Tarnished and torn, they move on
To find another world where they belong
This wilted kin will grow again
Under the guiding light of their Crescent King
So they writhe in their woes, seething in their blight
From the deepest, darkest pits of their wretched souls
A feeble flame endures as they witness pure
Light of golden grace cleaving the sombre skies
A shooting star aligning their common fate
Found in the heart of the crater's fiery depths
Their messiah returned to flesh
Crowned as their saviour
He who defied his fate
Now destined for greater
Their smouldering faith
Now rekindled within
Hail the Crescent King
Stride into the darkness in perpetuity
Dive into the parlous seas of vacuity
Thus, their journey begins
In pilgrimage to their forthcoming promised land
A new dawn at hand
Forsaking their sins and the stories of old
A new tale shall be told as the universe unfolds
Tarnished and torn, they move on
To find another world where they belong
This wilted kin will grow again
Under the guiding light of their Crescent King
This wilted kin will grow again
Under the guiding light of their Crescent King

Maelstrom

A bottomless well, a bottomless sea
Fountain of all there is and can be
A fathomless sense of fathomless awe
As we venture into the maw
Ascend into the maelstrom
Let it carry us to new lands
Forge your nerves with iron
Lest it swallow the remnants of man
Ghastly mists manifest and cloud our eyes
As we traverse these tyrannous tides
Spiraling currents encloses us like whirling walls
Pulling us into the squall
The vortex warps and whirls unending into...
A bottomless well, a bottomless sea
Fountain of all there is and can be
A fathomless sense of fathomless awe
As we venture through the maw
Forward! Straight through the maelstrom
Let it carry us to new lands
Suffocate your solicitudes and bite your tongues
Lest it swallow the remnants of man
The vortex warps and whirls unending into a...
From a moment of storm's reprieve
A bloodcurdling sight greets us with grief
Vestiges of voyages past
Foreboding what will come to pass
A truth I cannot ignore
Though I foresee these golden shores
Awaiting us on the other side
Not all will make it out alive
The maw of the void strikes a thunderous roar
As bolts of blistering light split our fleet
Severed, our vessels plunge into the deep
The vortex warps and whirls into...
A bottomless well, a bottomless sea
Fountain of all there is and can be
A fathomless sense of fathomless awe
For those of us who survived the maw
A bottomless well, a bottomless sea
Embracing of all there is and can be

Usurpers
05:22
|

|
Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued
The morbid usurpation of the throne
Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin
In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades as the bloodshed begins
Spewed out by the swirling abyss
They peered through the windowpanes with bittersweet bliss
Unto a realm unknown
Still the King's path to paradise was filled with loss
Faith yet remained, but who was to bear the cross?
A seed of doubt sown in the least devout
Bathed in black, they converge as darkness falls
In a clandestine congregation
Foul usurpers, all
Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued
The morbid usurpation of the throne
Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin
In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades as the bloodshed begins
It festered midst the colony
A pustule of apostasy
In search of hearth and haven
They scoured this system of solar twins
And the foreign worlds within
Each one bewitching to witness
Yet these lands were not as foretold
A terrifying truth dawned on their souls
Through pyroclastic torrents and lakes of rot
Desolate monolith forests with leviathans ruling the storms above
Planets aplenty in this cursed realm
All unfit for man to dwell
Bathed in black, they converge as darkness falls
In a clandestine congregation
Foul usurpers, all
They trusted in his guiding light
With naught but death to show
Upon this fatal fall of night
His last breath, they shall bestow
Upon this end of eventide a fateful plot ensued
The morbid usurpation of the throne
Silently they slither to commit the grievous sin
In regicidal ritual, they raise their blades to kill the king
Fiercely the daggers descend like guillotines
Drowning the sheets in sanguine streams
Petrified as the chamber abruptly comes alight
They gaze into the martyr's impostrous bloodshot eyes
Forced to their knees
Sentenced to die by the king's decree
Left to suffocate in the cruel vacuum of space

Scourge of the Stars
05:33
|
|||
|
Forlorn we forge on
Through the everlasting night
Mocked by millions of stars
Spurned with cosmic spite
Stranded among fruitless spheres
Hope dwindles by the day
While I quelled the recusant flame of insurrection
The lack of conviction remains
For all to end in such despair
For all to be for naught, such shame I cannot bear
Since the stars won't align to grant us our haven
We'll weave our own into existence
Forefathers, one and all
Bear witness to our ascent
Enthroned forevermore
As I turn the tides of fate again
Grandeur is nigh, this I plight
To deliver us to greater heights
Athwart the universe
I'll paint the planets in our name
My reign will be the birth
Of a deathless dynasty without wane
This I avow, all shall bow
Before the Scourge of the Stars
To reach beyond our mortal coil
We shall unearth and bleed the primordial soil
And tear the celestial bodies limb from limb
Upend the universe from within
Grafting a brave new world
At the centre of everything
The future comes unfurled
In sight is our righteous grail
From our citadel, my kingdom shall expand
To the farthest corner of this otherworldly hell
There's no limit to the lengths I'll go to ensure tomorrow
Swear to me or perish into obscurity
I am the grand inception of a new age
May chaos take the cosmos
Let the natural order melt away
Forefathers, one and all
I'll paint the planets in our name
Enthroned forevermore
In a deathless dynasty without wane
This I avow, all shall bow
Before the Scourge of the Stars
Scourge of the Stars

Harvest
05:25

Foul sounds echo deep within this galaxy
In unison of ceaseless cacophony
Worlds weep as they cave in to feed
Man's grafted monstrosity
Encircled by planets enslaved
A gilded globe, rotten to the core
A testament to their sins of yore
Foul sounds echo deep within this galaxy
In unison of ceaseless cacophony
Worlds weep as they cave in to feed
Man's grafted monstrosity
Encircled by planets enslaved
They cling to life to the point of obsession
Oblivious to their own oblivion
Roots upheaved from earth
Oceans siphoned dry
All soil stripped of worth
Deprived, destroyed, defiled
Under the King's command
His people work or they hang
From lunar colonies to the burrowed bowels below
With polluted breaths and crippled legs in tow
They toil away like ants beneath his heedless feet
Trading their lives for a sunrise, they'll never see
An iron grip held by idle hands
Smothering both world and fellow man
A great galactic harvest athwart the starry sea
Feeding the King's monumental monstrosity
Encircled by planets enslaved
His mind, now a sunless space
Encircled by people enslaved

Historien løber i kreds
Du, som gentager den
Må du aldrig blive tilfreds
Ej heller vil du finde trøst
Hos Dødens kolde bryst

Throne of Cosm
05:44
|
|||
|
I dreamt for so long
For everything to gravitate around me
I dreamt for so long
To be the convergence where all things meet
I dreamt for so long
At last, I reign supreme with every cosm at my feet
This must be how it feels to be a god
I am the sun
I am providence
I am empyreal
Absolute omnipotence
Untouched by the torrents of time
A life to them, to me an hour
The mortals squirm like worms
Below my astral towers
I shaped the heavens they abide
Yet still I'm scorned
Progress demands sacrifice
Suffer in silence or get thee gone
I am the sun
I am providence
I am empyreal
Absolute omnipotence
Some dare call me mad
Fools uttering in ignorance
Yet has a sane mind ever made
Something of true significance?
I gave you the future
And do you bathe me in universal applause?
You are nothing but cogs in my wheelwork
Fuel to further my cause
I gave you the worlds
A kingdom of all that is golden
One day you will see my truth
Your eyes are yet to open
I dreamt for so long
To be the convergence where all things meet
I dreamt for so long
At last, I reign supreme with every cosm at my feet
I am God
Mine eyes flood as I lift their veil
I dreamt for far too long
Now everything's pale
Everything is gone
In these cold planes of endless monochrome
Where paradise once blossomed
Nothing stands but my throne of cosm
Void of former grace and glory, now a towering mockery
As I climb the steps and take my rightful seat
A familiar thread of fate comes to light in the mist of my breath
Dear old friend, please grant me solace in death

Endless Majesty
06:22
|

|
Growth for growth's sake is a cancerous doctrine
Everything touched by man grows so very stale
On his own sits the vainglorious sovereign
Yearning for a fitting end to his tale
To solely serve oneself
Is to rule over none
You had it all
In the palm of your hand
Yet by holding on too tightly
You ended up smothering your land
Bored of your people
You toyed with their lives
Slowly plucking their wings
Like worthless flies
Did you think yourself a god?
Your kind has called me by many a name
Choose your delusion, it's all the same
I am one and all
I gave you life eternal and made you king
To see how far you could fly on borrowed wings
Now you beg for mercy
For your misery to cease
But this is your kingdom come
Forever, where you shall be
Chewed more than you could eat
Your only god is greed
A lord of lifeless lands is no lord at all
Long may he reign in atrophy
Rotting in his endless majesty
Were you the one truly pulling the strings?
Or were you merely a pawn?
Everyone is a slave to something
For the curse of life, is the curse of want
Bled to the bone
In planetary ecocide
Countless worlds collapsed
Feeding the monster, you designed
Thus left with nothing else
Your leech had to feast upon itself
You sentenced your kin to death
When you became their saviour
Now all you have left
Is a microcosm of human failure
From wilderness to wasteland
None are quite like those made by your hand
And for that you shall repent
In the never-ending nightmare of an endless end
On his own sits the vainglorious sovereign
Yearning for a fitting end to his tale
Long may he reign in atrophy
Rotting in his endless majesty
