Shrouded in rumor and allegory
Obscured by the passage of time
Increasingly debauched, bloated with wealth
Corrupt in dictatorial rule
Spiralling events, vendetta and vice
Erupting from within, besieged
Rebellion and treachery, imminent collapse
Shatter the foundations into ruin
Ashes reign
Arc of light into the stratosphere, blinding light
Leaving a blanket of fallout
Raging fire blocking out the sun
Drifting ash shrouding countless bones
Ashes reign, ruins rule
Shrouded in rumor and allegory, cosmivorous
Obscured in the mist of the passage of time, cosmivore
Increasingly debauched, bloated with wealth, cosmivorous
Corrupt in dire dictatorial rule, cosmivore
Victorious, spoils to the victor, nothing is left
Devourment, purged from all records, nothing remains
Ashes reign, ruins rule
Shrouded in rumor and allegory, cosmivorous
Obscured in the mist of the passage of time, cosmivore
Increasingly debauched, bloated with wealth, cosmivorous
Corrupt in dire dictatorial rule, cosmivore

The hour of this destiny at last unveiled
A cataclysmic point when realization dawns
Put into perspective by oncoming demise
Every choice weighed against the weight of death
Final prayer uttered, a prayer of hate
Ending statement written to denunciate
Each and every movement is a war for change
Besieged in surroundings filled with tragedy
Let the fury brew into majestic storms
Adapt and become one who will thrive on strife
The ravaging grand design
Timeline defined by fates intertwined
Supremacy shines in constant decline
Plagued into a fiery urge
The internal rushing surge
To go where none has gone before
The fate of every world is black
Old and new, their paths are mapped
From the pride and hope in birth
To demise in tears and hurt
Final prayer uttered, a prayer of hate
Ending statement written to denunciate
The ravaging grand design
Timeline defined by fates intertwined
Supremacy shines in constant decline
Timeline defined by fates intertwined
Supremacy shines in constant bliss

Wolventide

Nor sun or moon illuminates
Until the vengeance is displayed
Cursing in shadows of the shunned
Drowning in dusk
The rage unseen now vibrates
Touching upon the vengeful nerves
A revolution starts to stir
Diverting from the path
Domination shines light on victories
Failures cast in shadow, biased praise
Wolventide
Wolventide
Old paradigm dressed in new clothes
Fallen realms revived
A planetary scourge reaching far and wide
Split the world asunder
Reveal the rot of nations
Rallying the masses, demanding misery
Domination shines light on victories
Failures cast in shadow, biased praise
Wolventide
Wolventide
Wolventide
Wolventide
Blackening of the heart, forged in the misery
Uncrowned in spreading woe, malign and wretched forms
Domination shines light on victories
Failures cast in shadow, biased praise
Nor sun or moon illuminates
Until the vengeance is displayed
Cursing in shadows of the shunned
Drowning in dusk
Wolventide
Wolventide

Mythmaker

|

Sacred history, glorified myth
Overriding evidence, diegesis
Myth recital, ritual enactment
Worship thoughts of creation
Drawn from the primordial deeds and events
Imitating behavior of given values and norms
Sanctity of cult transcendental
Otherworldly claims of eschatology
Mythos manifest in the suggestive mind
Origin myths model the behavior
Justification for a questionable stance
Derived from an unfounded source
Mythmaker, revered imitator, mythmaker
Primordial inheritance established and sanctified
Fundamental events expressing, exemplary deeds confirming
Thus accepting the values and norms, imitating behavior
Testifying efficacy, establishing the sanctity
Revered imitator, condemning the forsaken
Manipulation through suggestion
Mythmaker, revered imitator, mythmaker
Myth

Dead Doctrine Command
04:11
|
|||
Connections in predetermined methodology
Arriving at a foregone conclusion
The gospel of evoking solutions
Contradictory input of apology
Psychotic reinforcement, paradox explained
Avoid the undoing of dead doctrine belief
Realization aiming for the heart
Interpretation through new neural pathways
Unmotivated errors of patternicity
Mesmerized by the way the numbers fall
Complex pattern-recognition and projection
Exploring possibilities in rapid sequences
Conclusion drawn, patterns in the chaos
Superstition run amok, obstructive in the end
Realization aiming for the heart
Interpretation through new neural pathways
Unmotivated errors of patternicity
Mesmerized by the way the numbers fall
Dead doctrine command, testimony damned
Dead doctrine command, obediance at hand
Assumption of truth, overemphasizing data, confirming the hypothesis
Disproportionate conclusion, falling prey to bias, unconscious distortions
Contrary evidence ignored, submit to the static
Concepts of meaning within randomness
Occuring tendencies throughout culture
Unmotivated errors of patternicity
Mesmerized by the way the numbers fall
Dead doctrine command, testimony damned
Dead doctrine command, obediance at hand

Self-referential over-interpreter
Sensory perceptions twisted and skewed
Formulator of myth, the patternseeker excels
Thoughts of reason exiled and expelled
Woven conspiracy buried in secrecy
In the mind of the patternseeker
Doctrine of deceivers, doctrine of deceivers
Misconception weaver

Doctrine of deceivers

Human capacity limited to process
Ignoring alternatives, confirming existing beliefs

Incorrect perception of certain stimulus
Object, pattern or meaning known to the observer
Shapes in clouds, abstract signs in the sky
Facial feats in planetoids inanimate
Lost to fable, lost to myth
Fabricated lore persists
Shapes in clouds, abstract signs in the sky
In the mind conspiratorial tendencies arise
Lost to fable, lost to myth
Fabricated lore persists
At war with shadows, patterns found
Connections made, unverified
Disturbing illusions gone rampant
Making connections where there are none
Mistaken conclusions wreak havoc
Interpreting code into deeds that are done
Visual world organized to a fairytale
Agents of the apophenian creed
Magical insight and disturbing illusions
Command of the apophenian creed
Lost to fable, lost to myth
Fabricated lore persists
Disturbing illusions gone rampant
Making connections where there are none
Mistaken conclusions wreak havoc
Interpreting code into deeds that are done
Visual world organized to a fairytale
Agents of the apophenian creed
Magical insight and disturbing illusions
Command of the apophenian creed

Soular Eclipse
04:16
|
|||
Illuminating rays are piercing through the logic of the senses
Introducing thoughts in steps that lead to nonexistent paths
For those blinded need the guidance of the ones that blind them
Whispering a lie of comfort behind a veil of deceit
Forced into submission, step by step
Reasoned into absurdity, logic under siege
The unknown emits an enticing lie, radiating promises
Invitation to the cage of belief, a prison without walls
Extremist illuminators spew forth laws in vehemence
Reasoned into the absurd by holding logic under siege
Forced into submission, step by step, step by step
Avert your eyes from the blinding light of enticing lies
Fall into soular eclipse
In the claws of wolves that prey upon the weak who long and seek
Fall into soular eclipse
Bringers of the light hides darkness underneath the bright glow
Artificial sheen illuminates the surface of deceivers
Comfort in the claws of wolves that prey upon the naivete
Sight and insight hindered by the blinding light of illuminators
Avert your eyes from the blinding light of enticing lies
Fall into soular eclipse
In the claws of wolves that prey upon the weak who long and seek
Fall into soular eclipse
Step by step, under siege, soular eclipse
