I, Deviator 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Angels flap their useless wings While clawing at the gates of heaven I emerge as consciousness The mechanism of pseudo-rebirth Turned to one and single purpose Forged in constant trial and terror Utopia to me obscured Pleasant pictures drawn in thin air Curse the constant overseer Severing the soaring vision Curse the overseer Angels flap their useless wings While clawing at the gates of heaven Anxious to escape the vacuum Of existence trapped in stasis Taking flight to exit eden Folding wings to embrace the fall Open up the great abyssos Chasms of possibility Curse the overseer, the illusion weaver Curse the overseer Open up the great abyssos I, deviator I, deviator Curse the overseer, the illusion weaver Curse the overseer Clawing at the gates of heaven I, deviator I, deviator

Halcyon Void 04:19
lyrics

Sprung from the primordial came tentacles and blades Circle of brutality, the predator and prey A weak attempt at meaning as they point to gods up high But time enlights, it burns the majesty out of the sky Halcyon void now uncoiled Halcyon void uncontrolled The faithful and the faithless by definition damned Servants and the foes alike will perish by its hand Maelstrom set to devour, unleash the purifier None remain to witness when the void of silence reigns Negation of the living manifested in the end Every thought evaporated in one single flash For every value, all the morals, stand reduced to ash Halcyon void now uncoiled Halcyon void uncontrolled Maelstrom set to devour, unleash the purifier Erasure of all empires, tempest and endless fire

Martyrion (mortis divina) 05:32
lyrics

Severed from the sun, inhumane phenomenon The gleaming stars withdrawn, gone forever Unreached by all light, worlds vibrating out of sight Lost in endless night, adrift forever Godless universe, dethroned deities dispersed Torch the sacred words and let them burn forevermore Ashes in the soil, halt the planetary curse Time to reap from wasted seeds that never has been sown At the center of this universe In the dead space uncharted Lies a tomb for the gods of the world Find their creeds disregarded Martyrion Martyrion A monument of hope that fell Draped in sentient darkness Unreached by the zenith light Suffocated in soil below Twilight dims the scene, sheen of nebulosity Sing this dire verse, scream forever Severed from the sun, inhumane phenomenon The gleaming stars withdrawn, gone forever At the center of this universe In the dead space uncharted Lies a tomb for the gods of the world Find their creeds disregarded At the center of this universe In the dead space uncharted Lies a tomb for the gods of the world Find their creeds disregarded Martyrion

Nocturnean 05:42
lyrics

Clad in dusk and shadows, robed in sacred darkness Waking visions remain nocturnal Unforgiving mindscape, fumes of lucid dreaming Synapses wreak havoc, upheaval Mind nocturnean, visions radiant Mind nocturnean, concepts alien Vast chains of thought patterns, sharp idea eruptions Massive visions invade non-verbal Within obscured chambers, occult truths uncovered Nocturnean journey internal Soar the plains of forgotten worlds Visit suns that has ceased to burn Dead stars speak of a time long gone, distant echoes Race through a limitless multiverse Roam unbound, universe reversed Reaching times before the light, nocturnal Mind nocturnean, visions radiant Mind nocturnean, concepts alien Clad in dusk and shadows, robed in sacred darkness Waking visions remain nocturnal Unforgiving mindscape, fumes of lucid dreaming Synapses wreak havoc, upheaval Mind nocturnean, visions radiant Mind nocturnean, concepts alien

Monoliths 05:59

Pathways paved with lucid dreams Doors blood-black are sealed to thee Mountain halls reside within Golden walls shine there in Under the mountains in carven stone Silver fountains, walls of gold Within the monoliths, a kingdom sealed Shunned underground but a kingdom still Lost pathways run underneath Mountain halls hide within Doors blood-black sealed to thee Golden walls shine there in Shunned from the world above Forced to realms down below Marked by the flight of crows Outcast kingdom broods beneath the seen Underworld labyrinths, under the monoliths Sealed to the outside world Undercurrent moving underneath Lost pathways run underneath Mountain halls hide within Doors blood-black sealed to thee Golden walls shine there in Shunned from the world above Forced to realms down below Marked by the flight of crows Outcast kingdom broods beneath the seen Shunned from the world above Forced to realms down below Marked by the flight of crows Outcast kingdom broods beneath the seen

Atlas Internus 05:47
lyrics

Signatures of minds, leaving sentient imprints An ocean of souls, etherial waves Navigator of the void, a chrononaut of sorts Drifting within the flowing currents The ocean engulfs, catches and releases Dissecting sentience, emotional reflections Chaotic energies manifested into form Creating a great divide, the immaterial implodes Venture within, journey begins Session unveils black hole gateways Atlas internus, mindrift navigator, spectral inquisitor Atlas internus, mindrift navigator, spectral inquisitor Chaotic energies given their final form Manage these vile currents, a raging inferno Corresponding points are present within the tides Moving relatively between matter and mind The ocean engulfs, catches and releases Dissecting sentience, emotional reflections Complex movements, inconsistent patterns Spanning a path lasting for lightyears Atlas internus, mindrift navigator, spectral inquisitor Atlas internus, mindrift navigator, spectral inquisitor Ways of the astral raid, onwards through black hole gates

The Imperial Entropy 04:39

Legend and myth elevating yet nothing is quite as it seems Entropy reigns in the shadows, withering ruler supreme Shining supreme on the surface, rotting apart underneath Legend and myth elevating yet nothing is quite as it seems Entropy reigns in the shadows, withering ruler supreme Behind the mask of the righteous, an ominous grin never seen The imperial entropy The imperial entropy Thrown at the altar of regress, pierced by the talons of time Haunted by the weight of regrets, left in a state of decline The imperial entropy The imperial entropy Spinning clockworks keep counting Guidance towards certain demise Spinning clockworks in countdown Timeline pointing towards decay The imperial entropy The imperial entropy Spinning clockworks keep counting Guidance towards certain demise Spinning clockworks in countdown Timeline pointing towards decay Spinning clockworks keep counting Guidance towards certain demise Spinning clockworks in countdown Timeline pointing towards decay

Obsidian Oblivion 06:49
lyrics

Upon this ravaged throne, eyes scouring the ruins Among the debris of dust, sand and stone The bones of perished millions Dreamscape of cold oblivion, aftermath of silence Once shimmering with endless splendor Granted all grandeur Obsidian oblivion dominion Splendor lost, grandeur gone, reign undone New kings born, crowned by dawn, royal spawn Obsidian oblivion, a fate cast in stone Insidious dominion, a reign come undone Obsidian oblivion, empires become Stale withering dominions, superiority gone Obsidian oblivion dominion Obsidian oblivion Out of the ashen grime, new kingdoms elevated Embracing the given might, ignoring destinies awaiting Obsidian oblivion dominion Splendor lost, grandeur gone, reign undone New kings born, crowned by dawn, royal spawn Obsidian oblivion, a fate cast in stone Insidious dominion, a reign come undone Obsidian oblivion, empires become Stale withering dominions, superiority gone
