2.	Manifesting Depravity 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Hacking ties with civility. While he's disassociating from their kind Forging bonds through fucking digestion. Let this ire break free. To dismantle the world he plots relentless death. See this man wither away. Everything around him is sinking. New appreciation for the blood he's been drinking. Left to fucking rot, he truly saw the world. Separated by the creed gone mad. Repugnant thoughts fill his time. Catatonic he sits. Lesser minds undergo obliteration Self entitled to the blessings he's found in his darkened den His creators couldn't see the malevolence locked inside his head Every piece of flesh he digests serves him in his lonesome quest. Every piece of flesh he digests serves him in his lonesome fucking quest. Everything around him is sinking. New appreciation for the blood he's been drinking. Left to fucking rot, he truly saw the world. Separated by the creed gone mad. Caressed in the darkness that once left his mind in splinters He grins in content as his anger grows stronger Grows stronger. See this man wither away.
3.	Carnivore 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Emotionless psychopath. I leave these streets empty bleeding Carnivore of a wretched whore. Everything and one around me fails to breathe. I feel empty. I like to count the lifeless bodies. Snapping necks consumes my hobbies. Every cut is out of malice. Their rotting frame becomes my canvas. Feast. Feast Chopping, slicing, chewing, gorging for this meal i have been searching Chopping, slicing, chewing, gorging for this fucking meal been searching Carve the flesh, Crave the meat Endulge myself because the taste is so sweet. Carnivore of a wretched whore Blasphemy is the only thing that i have left I feel empty I like to count the lifeless bodies. Snapping necks consumes my hobbies. Every cut is out of malice. Their rotting frame becomes my canvas. Feast. Chopping, slicing, chewing, gorging for this fucking meal been searching Bring the fucking death This world is not for me. Cast aside. Escape this sanity Consume these corpses my only therapy And i watch them bleed And I watch them bleed.

Make Make all this misery Fall right in front of thee Let all this heresy bring forth misanthropy Hacking through the skin and bone imbibe the blood I drain Growing stronger I begin my never ending reign. Bringing forth brutality I shall not refrain The human race has failed and lost Now I bring the pain Conquer through the fiery gates Killing sprees, I've earned my place Dark lord I must forsake For the throne is mine to take Make all this misery fall right in front of thee Let all this heresy bring forth misanthropy Bringing sulfur from the depths, begin my seige Death and destruction manifesting from my Hands hack through the putrid army Leading tainted masses to unholy terror The end of all time is fucking neigh Your wasted, pathetic lives are now mine Making bastard children and their moms my fucking slaves Post birth abortions, sating on that which I crave Useless bits of flesh and bone splattered where they lay The human race has failed and lost, Now i bring the pain Conquer through the fiery gates Killing sprees, I've earned my place Dark lord I must forsake For the throne is mine to take
5.	Rameses 03:27	lyrics	buy track
All hail the pharaoh All hail the king Born into existence just to fucking serve Broken backs built upon a life without a worth "Im the god king" he proclaimed sitting upon his writing masses See this man. by the hands of his vengeful slaves Burial rights denied, Maggots turned to flies With hatred they march one by one to an offering for the sun with unmerciful rage for what they despise Fit only for a king's demise Tear down the obelisk built in his name Rip out the flesh from our masters frame. All look to the bitter bastard sons. They will not know my scars They all look to the fallen skies they all must pray to stars The flies shall feast on king Rameses The flies shall feast on king Rameses Hatred they march one by fucking one to an offering for the sun. Burn it down With unmerciful rage for what they despise Fit only for a kings demise I will show you gods can fall too Make them suffer like my brothers I will show you gods can fall too Make them suffer like our brothers Cut his fucking head off

7.	Decomposed And Copulated 03:45	lyrics	buy track
I want to feel the ground betwixt mine fingers Broken soil, steady hands Fulfill mine lust of cold and carnal nature Unearth another decaying goddess Grim coition Ravaged Temple Thine fallen fruit of sacred purity Embrace the void. Withhold fulfillment. This is not my bride. this is not my lust The earth crumbles around me Shattered wood snaps beneath us. This is not the one i crave My confidence betrays me Overwhelming sinful lust hack and maim until she's gone hack and maim until she's gone hack and maim until she's gone Exhuming the bodies by each fortnight Slowly devolving, Ravenous I became Exhuming the bodies by each fortnight Slowly devolving, Ravenous I became Make you wish you had been cremated Make your spirit watch, with glazed eyes peeled back What have I done? What have I done? Overwhelming sinful lust This is my life's work What have I done? What have I done? Overwhelming sinful lust This is my life's work What have I done? What have I done? Overwhelming lust to fuck This is my life's work
8.	Extracting The Parasite 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I have come to save you, weather you like it or not Watch you fucking squirm Fighting for your mind, burrowed deep inside. A disgusting human worm Mothers of corrosive putridity Feticidal surgeon rupturing the sycophantic sickness in the womb Gather all the parasites, throw out the host skin, The rotting husk of human flesh, couldn't recognize their sin Waiting patiently for her to fall into my grasp Can't wait to see it writhe, dig my finger through her fucking flesh All of them die. Forever locked in the morgue They should now know my fears The world should know my fears The world should know my fears These passengers look much like their host, Perhaps a homage to the newly found ghost. They know not what they secrete They know not what they secrete They know not what they secrete passing up on this fallen god Waiting patiently for her to fall into my grasp Can't wait to see it writhe, dig my finger through the bitches flesh Can't fucking wait.

10.	Within Darkness, I Depart 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Cold, Dead pale hands chose to feast on me My brain drowning in atrophy Consuming while pulling at me Into the depths of misery Bitterness, anger and lunacy. After severing ties with life Seven knotted loops in my rope tied tight Stitch myself to the ceiling Before I call it a night After severing ties with life Seven knotted loops in my rope tied tight Stitch myself to the ceiling Before I call it a night Before I call it a night. Within the darkness I depart I want them to see This painful sight of reality Pale limbs shall swing Carbon released by suicide Die.
