Dawn 01:52
Hatred is where you turn when you can't face your grief There's anger there's grief and then comes hatred Born from the torment of my experience Unparalleled brutality Make way for the restoration Lifeless one impaled the Dragon Slayer Suffering at the blast of hell I will struggle on This is a manifestation of everything I don't want to be I don't want to be This is a manifestation of everything I don't want to be There is Anger and hate There is A choice I have to make There is Anger and hate Why the fuck does it have to be this way? Why does it have to be this way?

Demon King 03:55
I control the largest territory in the world that I have conquered Even if it's blood-smeared and defiled (This world) This world belongs to me This world belongs to me For I've taken everything This world belongs to me I am the demon king Life in this world it's all darkness I will reign over this unclean world I will ascend Survival is based on my devotion I will depend on none other than myself I will instill fear in the masses So begins the reign of the demon king The great emperor with viperine composure Cultivated through the slaying of my enemies Even when they dare follow the hawk of light They will have no choice but to submit (I have) I have brought this to fruition With my own two hands, I'll make this world a prison I will ascend Survival is based on my devotion I will depend on none other than myself I will instill fear in the masses So begins the reign of the demon king What are the chances I break? (That I break) Come to my senses or annihilate? I've gained the power of the God Hand So what am I so afraid of? What is this raw energy? I won't survive this My mind is deceived Decimate every deity I have transcended I have depended on myself alone (Breathe) I am losing my mind I've lost everything I will ascend Survival is based on my devotion I will depend on none other than myself I will instill fear in the masses Or has my reign come to an end? I will ascend Survival is based on my devotion I will depend on none other than myself I will instill fear in the masses So begins the reign of the demon king

Animal 04:04
Wrath and bloodlust Born from the trauma and experience An amalgamation of hate and malice The beast within longs for carnage To set its teeth in flesh endlessly An amalgamation of hate and malice May it run rampant with a hatred and a wild joy Don't let go of what's left of your humanity Blood must flow I will not allow myself to be an animal All I know is I must subdue the beast Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release Why am I subject to torment? Was it not enough for me to bleed? (To bleed?) I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me (By me) I will stand and I will not concede I will not falter and I won't retreat I will not fall to a world that's up against me Desperate men do desperate things Disrupted vision creates a reflection of only darkness I hear them calling The ones who long for death They gave into desire and now they have nothing left (They have nothing left) Now is this the fate that has chosen for me? So don't let go of what's left of your humanity Blood must flow I will not allow myself to be an animal All I know is I must subdue the beast Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release Why am I subject to torment? Was it not enough for me to bleed? (To bleed?) I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me (By me) I will stand and I will not concede I will not falter and I won't retreat I will not fall to a world that's up against me When I'm done they will fear me forever This is the cleansing, this is the purge I will stand, I will not concede I will not falter and I will not retreat This is my struggle This is the fate of the branded one (The branded one) I will stand and I will not concede I will not falter and I will not retreat I won't fall to a world that's up against me This is the fate of the branded one

Altered Eyes 03:54
You're calling out Paralyzed from the neck down I hear your screams but I cannot break free Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out Imprison me in this realm This is my eternal hell I'll never be the same Imprisoned by the brand they gave to me I can't sleep, I can't eat Endless torment, endless pain These demons, they break me down Left devoid of sanity Hate is the answer that I've found Relinquish fear Or you will not move on Retribution is near I can feel it setting in I can feel it setting in Relinquish fear Or you will not Or you will not move on Relinquish fear But you must not forget where you came from You're calling out Paralyzed from the neck down I hear your screams but I cannot break free Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out Imprison me in this realm This is my eternal hell The abyss The deepest depths I have felt and I have witnessed the darkest shade of black (Of black) The acquisition is complete (Complete) Recovery is now an impossibility This is not where we're meant to be (To be) This is not where we're meant to be Where we're meant to be You're calling out Paralyzed from the neck down I hear your screams but I cannot break free Cut off my limbs, tear my eyes out Imprison me in this realm This is my eternal hell This is my eternal hell I can no longer recognize myself This is my eternal hell This is not where I'm meant to be I'd rather fight for my life I'd rather fight for my life than be living it (Than be living it) I'd rather fight for my life than be living it A red river of death A chosen destiny A lover's altered eyes to fulfill the prophecy Innocence buried within this child She’s locked away all the terror Locked away all the horror Now is the time to relinquish fear Locked away all the terror Locked away the horror Now is the time to relinquish fear

My dream is smeared in blood I don't feel guilty I don't regret or mourn the lost Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering Suffer Suffering Some see nothing more than life and death For they are dead They have nothing of substance So they lost themselves following another man's dream A necessary action to unite the new world under one banner This is the world I built This is my dynasty My dream is smeared in blood I don't feel guilty I don't regret or mourn the lost Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering (Fate is beyond human understanding) We will never be equals (Equals) Predestined by the hand of god To assert my dominance in a world that's lost Reached my final form for all to see So lower your head and bow before me Tainted red these sacrifices lay to rest Now my wings spread To blanket the earth in darkness I’ve gained my true power I’ll see my dream through I’ll take hold of everything My dream is smeared in blood I don't feel guilty I don't regret or mourn the lost Dreams breathe life into men or it can cage them in suffering I am the exalted one I was broken and ravaged but I chose to overcome My dream gave life to me This is my kingdom This is my dynasty All rise up I am the chosen one Chosen one My reign is absolute I will bow down to no one No one

Like a stream, the blood begins flowing from me I have started to abandon rationality I have let the animal free Its murderous intent is suffocating I am the master you're the puppet My only purpose is to consume and destroy I'm stepping outside the confines of my perception I'm about to cross the line I will not let it have domain over me Functioning without restraint has become costly I have everything to lose but it has so much to gain It's temptation I must refuse For I must preserve my being Desecrate, leave them weeping Now I must humiliate them and enjoy their suffering Enjoy their suffering We have the right to exist Haunted by these sickening words it constantly repeats Advising me of its every intention I can silence it but that will not mean that it won't show its face When I am weak again This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent I can't control its hunger I must bury it within Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place Fueled by my hate and rage I'll never be the same I will not survive another close encounter Cause this vessel is what it's after Sacrificing morality Inner darkness manifests itself externally Insidious one so malevolent Nothing but blood will satisfy its endless hunger Lay to waste the human race and devour any semblance of hope that remains Insignificant, weak, and disposable Get out of my mind This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent I can't control its hunger I must bury it within Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place Fueled by my hate and rage I'll never be the same This is my darkest hour plagued with murderous intent I can't control its hunger I must bury it within Born from my suffering, the canine takes my place Fueled by my hate and rage I'll never be the same I'll never be the same Lay to waste the human race Insignificant, disposable Filthy, disgusting Worship me or I'll make you bleed You never felt this type of torture You never felt this type of torture Lay to waste the human race I am eternal Your mind and body are my vessels Don't resist it's futile For soon they'll be nothing left of you I am eternal Your mind and body are my vessels Don't resist it's futile For soon they'll be nothing left of you I am eternal Your mind and body are my vessels Don't resist it's futile For soon they'll be nothing left of you

I am the foe I am the foe of the inhuman I'll never rest until the hawk is overthrown I am the foe I am the foe of the inhuman Alone I stand in life as death I've seen societies reduced to dust Disgusting beings destroy and enslave For I have seen it time and time again For thousands of years (For thousands of years) Guided by the law of causality To take a step into this world Between the living and the dead You must be brave or really mad You will not survive the interstice This is a nightmare incarnate Plagued by vermin and horrific monstrosities This is the home of the demonic There will be no human survivors Unless we intervene Waging war Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity For I am not enslaved I will not bow down For I am not enslaved I will not bow down You cannot surpass humanity without abandoning all that you used to be I will not become a prisoner I'll be the cause of their dissent There is no afterlife for those who prey on humankind Mortal and fragile but even if their tortured they'll survive Waging war against those who wanted more The fetid creatures are really cowards that lost control Now they must suffer Waging war Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity For I am not enslaved I will not bow down For I am not enslaved I will not bow down Fading light (Not losing sanity) Losing sight (Of the apostles) But I am not enslaved I will not bow down But I am not enslaved I will not bow down I will not bow down This is my destiny I will make them beg for mercy (Beg for mercy) They’re begging for mercy I will not abandon my call (I will not) There’s no one left But those who will always uphold their code They were have never been enslaved I am the foe I am the foe of the inhuman I'll never rest until the hawk is overthrown I am the foe I am the foe of the inhuman I will stand until the end Waging war Against the vile ones who wanted more than mere humanity For I am not enslaved I will not bow down For I am not enslaved I will not bow down Fading light (Not losing sanity) Losing sight (Of the apostles) But I am not enslaved I will not bow down But I am not enslaved I will not bow down I will not bow down

Vicious revenge Feel its strain Ingrained forever within my brain Never revered Never pure Only one thing to strive for A plague with no antidote Deep-seated in animosity All too blinded with hatred to see What I've got right in front of me Will vengeance set me free? Cause they've taken everything Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile But my hatred enslaves and its walls are growing higher No honour here to gain (They've taken everything, they've taken everything) My heart remains enslaved (By the hatred that plagues my brain) All the things I didn't do I was frail, I was weak No strength to defend you Aggravated agony and the lust for indemnity Humiliation inside but I can't hide Because I must dispose of the one who violated you Tear him down from the throne Now I claim the right You'll receive your judgement I sentence you, I sentence you to death You will feel my deepest rage The wrath of my blade No honour here to gain (They've taken everything, they've taken everything) My heart remains enslaved (By the hatred that plagues my brain) Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile (My hatred enslaves and its walls are growing higher) My heart remains enslaved Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher Imprisoned by hate its walls are growing higher All I want is an end to this fucking storm I can't see any sense in this Am I lost in this delusion? Imprisoned (Imprisoned by my hate) Imprisoned These words they say, they fill my brain Deliver me to a vicious state (Vicious state) Anger, delusion, no honour Is there a chance that I will never recover? No honour here to gain (They've taken everything, they've taken everything) My heart remains enslaved (By the hatred that plagues my brain) Weary heart, hollow, longing to reconcile (My hatred enslaves and its walls are growing higher) My heart remains enslaved

Do not look into your dreams Red skies form a memory of your screeching agony Do not look into your fragile mind It will not deliver you in this collapsing time (In this collapsing time) Mental pictures of the one you put your trust in Left with only death and destruction (Destruction) They're primitive beings Repugnant fiends Their eyes can tear down worlds A perverse view of beauty So many prayers never unanswered Cause' death is everywhere Take a look inside but don’t be ignorant about what you find Suffocate You can't catch your breath Panicking, grasping at your chest Afraid of everything that is near In this new world, there's nothing for you here There's nothing for you here There's nothing for you here Ruin Ruination Ruin Ruination The greatest misfortune of all Was losing your soul to the white hawk But you will overcome I refuse to admit that you are gone I will venture far and wide To restore the woman inside And whatever this world brings me My blade will cut through everything And I will not hesitate Exterminate, eradicate Exterminate, eradicate You will feel the cold steel puncture your skin This is the last night that you'll be living Eradicate the filth There is no mercy This beautiful world is a facade Ruin, ruination There is nothing left for us Ruin, ruination Covered in the blood of innocence We are not the only ones who've suffered Ruin, ruination We are not the only ones

Lifeblood 04:17
Left to drown here Left to drown This our eternal sentence Our descent and our fall This is our destruction and our hell Left to drown Driven out from bliss Condemned to boundless misery Can we not be healed? Desperate for revenge in its purest form No longer lingering in the shadows This is an open war Rise up Now time to rise from the ashes Rise up This is the signal to ascend There must be blood to move us forward Rise up This is your signal Rise up Almighty I will stand (I will stand) Swing my blade and demoralize the god hand Feel my wrath abhorrent ones They will fall I will be left as one Now anger and vengeance Has caused a perpetual fire within Unholy ones This will be your extinction Desperate for revenge in its purest form No longer lingering in the shadows I must arise or spill my lifeblood (Lifeblood) I must arise For I am determined Rise up Now time to rise from the ashes Rise up This is the signal to ascend There must be blood to move us forward Rise up This is your signal Rise up There is no time for despair I've tried reason I've tried to believe That my victory ensures you're no longer suffering (I will see this through) You are my lifeblood You are my lifeblood Rise up Now time to rise from ashes Rise up This is the signal to ascend Lifeblood You are my lifeblood Rise up Now time to rise from ashes Rise up This is the signal to ascend
