Casting the Sigil

Obscured
The magic
Siphoning your essence
Draining, using, dehydrated soul
Fueling occult powers that control
The monoliths shine
Engorged with inhumane despair
Pulsing, bleeding, power leaks through pores
Herded like cattle, abused like whores
(Solo: Woody)
Chorus
Casting the sigil
Speak the words that bind
Cast the spell which enslaves
Species of the blind
Esoteric initiation
Hidden manipulation
Black moon rises in the night
Doomed to lives of horror
Incubated sleep
Existential disease
Plugged in, shut out, turned off
Reprogrammed to obey
Accept the role as slaves
(Solo:Tyler)
The rings of Saturn glow
Siphoning power to the throne
A black light pulsates
Casting shadows on mankind
For most shall not see
The harvest of the energy
Tethered to the dark god
Bow down before the order
Chorus
Casting the sigil
Speak the words that bind
Cast the spell which enslaves
Species of the blind
Esoteric initiation
Hidden manipulation
Black moon rises in the dead of the night
Doomed to lives of horror
Saturnian
Squashing of the
Eternal Awareness
Asunder
Our souls are severed
From the eternal
Automatons forever
The sigil is cast
Behold

Mountain Machines

Metal
Biology of gods
Replication
Slaves to our own creation
Specters
Roaming the earth
Harvesting flesh
Bursting through your chest
Tendrils
Penetrate the source
Feeding off human force
Deformed existence
Controlled and being farmed
Cybernetic entities
Unrelenting swarm
(Solo: Woody)
We fucking built them
And now they rise
Hail the cybernetic kings
Worship the machines
As tall as the mountains
They fill up the sky
Machines as gods
Creation is flawed
Emerge
From the cocoon
Gaze at your metal tomb
Organic Being
Bane of the machine
Descendant of the stars
Magic unseen
Passed down
Self-destructive nature
From the great creator
Life destroys life
Machinations dwindle
Algorithms, DNA, flame of life rekindled
We fucking built them
And now they rise
Hail the cybernetic kings
Worship the machines
As tall as the mountains
They fill up the sky
Machines as gods
Creation is flawed

Back To The Jungle
05:05
|

|
Reset
Return to primitive nature
Demolish
All that we have made
Cyclical
Patterns of destruction
Halt all progress
Back to the jungle
Destroy
Extinction level event
Pyrocaustic purge
Poison ash
Vesuvian mnemonics
Charring from the sky
The timeline is done
Damnation has come
Instincts leading the way
Nothing will last
Sent back to the past
Time to hunt or be prey
Those who survive
Will fight for their lives
Filled with terror, drenched in gore
Sharpen your spears
Conquer your fears
Back to the jungle once more
Awaken from dark dreams
Now I see
I’ve gone back to the jungle
Heed the prophecy of recurse
Going back to the jungle
Primal awakening
The savage spirit guides us
Barbaric we’ve become
Embrace the ways of ancient man
Exposed beneath the sun
Forced
To hunt to survive
Animalistic instincts
Overriding intellect
Burning cortex
Loss of reason
Welcome to the hunting season
The timeline is done
Damnation has come
Instincts leading the way
Nothing will last
Sent back to the past
Time to hunt or be prey
Those who survive
Will fight for their lives
Filled with terror, drenched in gore
Sharpen your spears
Conquer your fears
Back to the jungle once more

Unseen Abductor
04:57
|

|
Blood disease, immense wealth
Laboratories operate in stealth
Experiments for the holy grail
Darkened caverns where the tortured wail
Scientific torture rack
Dispose remains charred black
Cryptic desire to live forever
Unexplained disappearances
Vanishing within the mist
Deep inside the cave
Shackled down like slaves
DNA extract
Chromosomes attacked
Science and sacrifice
Both combine tonight
Spliced and split until
You’re an empty shell
Passing into death
Tossed out like the rest
Remains placed
Impossible odds
Alien technology masked in fog
Manipulation for a future war
Clothes displayed where they weren't before
Victims
Return with no memory
Holographic mind control
Implemented on their souls
Feel the creature’s breath
As it breathes down your neck
Unseen by human eye
Abduction into the sky
Smell the creature’s stench
Drawing close, feel the clench
Snatched with no trace or sign
Missing for the rest of time
(Solo:Tyler)
(Solo: Woody)
Feel the creature’s breath
As it breathes down your neck
Unseen by human eye
Abduction into the sky
Smell the creature’s stench
Drawing close, feel the clench
Snatched with no trace or sign

Haruspex
04:23
|

Our Gods could see what we would not
Fields have turned, bodies burned
Souls released by iron wrought
Through their eyes we tried to peer
Gods and men alike
To make the path of victory clear
It was hubris bore our knife
We tore his heart from his chest
Between the bones a truth is told
No crown that your sons will bear
From your daughters come no heir
Saw the bones, shred the flesh
Future foretold, the haruspex
A sacrifice reveals
Our peoples fate, our end is sealed,
Upon this date, upon this field
The doom the blood contained congealed
They show our end, they show our doom
A child ripped from Danu’s womb
Our stories have been told
We kneel before the Phantom Queen
Consumed by rot, consumed by mold
The first illuminates the truth
His sinew and guts shape the day
The ocher tinge that stains the woad
The augur’s bones long foretold
The die is cast, our journey’s at its end
No solace from the red blade
No visions did it rend
Ten thousand dead upon the ground
Merlin’s curse can still be found
Tribes and clans
Unto the Earth
Of us nothing
Empty dearth
Legions take our kindred
Roman lust for greed
Though we saw the future
Centurions spread their seed
The Eagle’s talons tear
The harbinger takes her flight
Her omens come to pass
On this very night
(Solo: Tyler)
(Solo: Woody)
We tore his heart from his chest
Between the bones a truth is told
No crown that your sons will bear
From your daughters come no heir
Saw the bones, shred the flesh
Future foretold, the haruspex
A sacrifice reveals
Our peoples fate, our end is sealed,
Upon this date, upon this field
The doom the blood contained congealed
They show our end, they show our doom
A child ripped from Danu’s womb
Our stories have been told
We kneel before the Phantom Queen
Consumed by rot, consumed by mold

Plague Revival 20XX
05:26
|

|
Frozen under the snow
An ancient dormant disease
Cryogenic containment
For millions of years
Mutatious Pandemic Awaits
Pathogenic Prophecy
Foretold in the ice
Bacterium wrought apocalypse
Rises from, the darkest depths
Blood fills with viruses
Gangrene, rotting flesh
Innards deteriorate to slime
Infect, Decay
Ancient Curse
Oozing from the sores
Delirious madness taking hold
Societal collapse
Bloated corpses
Fuming pungent stench
Mass Graves, burning bodies, plague unleashed at last
Trapped beneath the ice
The outbreak has come from below
The plague has been revived
Terrible death has come from the snow
Festering patiently
Biding its time
Awaiting exhumation
Merciless, Stygian
Ebolic demise
Witness mass extinction
Darkest sides of man arise in its decline
Mass orgies
Syphilitic abyss
Hollow shells of once great monuments
Empty necropolis
Mourn the life you had
Necrotized nostalgia
No future
Suicide
Aeons of torment
No possibility of a cure
Extinction
(Solo: Woody)
Trapped beneath the ice
Vengeance has come from below
Trapped beneath the ice
gargantuan viruses emerge from the snow
Trapped beneath the ice
Bubonic malevolence lies
The plague has been revived
The temple of man has now been excised
Behold
Disease
Blasted
Existence

The Ghost Hand of God
03:46
|

|
Voyage to the black of space
Seek creator of the human race
A quest to see the divine
Metaphysical warping of the mind
Cryogenically enforced sleep
Horrific visions
Sanity reaped
Searching
Celestial Origins
Sothis
Osiris
A damning knowledge
The source of madness
We were not meant to know
A place where no man should go
Primitive consciousness clawed
By The ghostly hands of God
(Solo: Woody)
We sought the higher beings
Only found terrible things
Exoteric Ancestors
Creators and oppressors
Tendrils in your mind
Eldritch visions drive you blind
Neurons split, your brain leaks
Punished for what you shouldn’t seek
(Solo: Tyler)
Searching
Celestial Origins
Sothis
Osiris
A damning knowledge
The source of madness
We were not meant to know
A place where no man should go
Primitive consciousness clawed

Melted Face of the Soul
06:43
|
|||
|
Unseen greatness
Through the ether
Witness the splendor
Of the speaker
Beaming through you
Pierces your soul
Disintegrating atoms
Beyond a black hole
Peel away layers
Reveal what's not to be seen
Unfathomable sights
Awesome realms of reality
Open the ark of the universe
What you see will melt your face off
Spectral slime is what you’ve become
Freed from the burden of human scum
Raptured by a sign
Left without a face
Spectral visage lost
Drifting into space
(Solo: Tyler)
(Solo: Woody)
Last time I saw you
Your face was still there
Now it’s a liquid goo of despair
Into the heavens
Your soul it dissolves
One with the cosmos
You have evolved
Shred mortality
Now you are free
Into the cosmos
Achieved ascendancy
All but light now
Pulsing vibration
Ringing like music
Divine adorations
