1.
Perpetual blackness devours all light and brings forth the great silence The deafening sound of infinite nothingness Societal tendencies are abolished True individualism is achieved The cluttered masses blind and deafened by the void All huddle close together yet none are aware This is our collective destiny (Mother Earth has purged herself of her destroyers) Giving us to the soil to as to forever know nothing To become the inanimate To experience the difference (Solo: Kyle Chapman) To become the infinite Forever, I Shall Remain
2.
Behold the death of God Behold the resurgence of reason Behold the fall of the almighty Cast from his throne of omniscience Usurped by the sons of science and logic As the patrons of illusion weep Weeping over the long decomposing corpse of their proverbial lord And the deterioration of his irrelevant doctrine An archaic piece of cancerous filth abided by Insufferable fools who choose fantasy over irrefutable proof The last bastion of monotheistic salvation dies with the resurgence of the truth The cogency of your scriptures has utterly dissipated The death of God comes with the rebirth of reason Meandering fools no longer use his words to facilitate Egregious acts of inhuman violence Behind a book shall these decrepit cowards no longer hide Rejoice in the fall of the almighty Falling from his throne of omniscience The patrons of science revile in amorous glory To the sound of the chosen-few's cries For God is dead (Solo: Ben Gassman)
3.
Torturously psychotic ambiguity has released me From the depths of hatred I shall claw my way out Deviousness has now been instilled within my being Sympathetic inclinations no longer obscure Murderous intent perpetuated by detestation There shall be no reconciliation You have made manifest my eternal loathing of thee With lack of spinal support, I await your fall Fall and fail (Solo: Ben Gassman) I will no longer await your return to sanity It is a treat of which I have not known its taste Perverted shall not return me to demented servitude You have no power over me and shall never have command Lowly mortal, you shall bow down before me For I have transcended to my higher form All shall pray for mercy from the God of Corrosion For you have finally incurred my unholy wrath
4.
Hail to thee, contemptible beast of the sea Thou hast risen from thine eternal slumber Ye who is of flesh and bone Hath been resurrected in the form of death and gore Let thine rebirth mark the end of this race Bring death to its harbinger For he hath walked these lands to long Feed thine sanguine hatred But beware thine enemy to the east With mighty claws he shall slash away at thine flesh With territorial arrogance, he bears his fangs at thee Remove them and incinerate the corpse Now make thine way to the frozen lands of the north For it hath been foretold That thou shalt once again embrace Death's cold hand And return to sleep Ocean Dweller, await damnation's siren song And with thine reawakening, bring darkness to this world (Solo: Kyle Chapman)
5.
I abhor thee, vile human I shall forcibly expose your innards Lowly flesh shall be stripped from bone Skinless flagellation shall pacify me Vomit forth your pestilent last breath Contaminate my air for the very last time Stoke the flames of my opulent disdain As I consume your putrefying corpse I will no longer endure your cancerous existence Your permeating stench tastes of bile Sight of your misshapen form sickens me Amorously I await your disembowelment Thoughts of your gore arouses me In your blood and organs I shall bathe All glare at you with no sympathy We all want you to die Scream, cry, wallow in filth; I'll laugh mockingly Asphyxiation by one's own rot Necrosis has spread through this repulsive animal Overcome with terror, it asks me "Why?" (Lead 1: Kyle Chapman; Lead 2: Ben Gassman) Virulent piece of shit, you must embrace your end Your body is subject to desecration All orifices shall be forever cauterized Thusly your seared flesh shall breed no new life There is no escape Your fate has been sealed It is too late Placate my appetite for death (Solo: Ben Gassman)
6.
(Solo: Ben Gassman) In fleeting moments of weakness, they reduced themselves to the level of common man, restrained by irrational thoughts perpetuated by a hive-mind contesting reason. An intellectual genocide contingent on the proliferation of ambivalence and the substitution of an opiate for reality to silence all dissonance. Obediently they adhere to the notion of a linear destiny prescribed by the god of the almighty aristocracy. Proletarian suffering satiates appetites derived from gluttony, yet this hunger knows no end; a thirst remains unquenched for all eternity. Innumerous aeons shall pass us by as this entropic abscess fills with progress's decay. Will our dialectic dogma outlive us all or in oppressed obscurity will it remain? The mass perpetuation of irrational postulation propels the deterioration of ratiocinative thought. We must quash this dispensation of mystical exaltation and free our minds from their esoteric necropolis. Upon the graves of mighty fallen, they have chosen to erect grotesque monuments exempt from the societal limitations of which we supplement. With their sway, they manifest laws perpetuating hate with a clear conscience. Yet as they dwindle, we will grow and their dying legions shall behold our transcendence. Innumerous aeons shall pass us by as this entropic abscess fills with progress's decay. Will our dialectic dogma outlive us all or in oppressed obscurity will it remain? The mass perpetuation of irrational postulation propels the deterioration of ratiocinative thought. We must quash this dispensation of mystical exaltation and free our minds from their esoteric necropolis. (Solo 1: Joel Nelson; Solo 2: Kyle Chapman)

Isolation is the only existence I know Yet how I desire the presence of life But so alienated I feel from the rest of the world A realm so foreign; beyond my comprehension Despite my desires, there is no one here to hear me scream In the void, I exist in utter nothingness Emptiness incomprehensible by the minds of mere mortals A world beyond gods and men I exist in a thought Sentient yet abstract, I exist in a world beyond boundaries Devoid of inferior beings Unrestricted by altruistic concerns Remain true my brethren With the power of your virtue An amalgamation of earth and flesh An amelioration of the realms I am the Great Destroyer! The almighty defiler of the values of your God Perpetuator of the lie! A monarch of those who hath sheltered their eyes from the truth I shall teach you to transcend! With our collective will we shall surpass the limits of Man Unto all eternity Shalt thou take heed and awaken from thine sleep! Lo! I grow weary of my wisdom! Like a snake that hath outgrown its skin I shall transcend my corporeal form And be born again! (Lead: Kyle Chapman) Thou great star! What would be thine happiness If thou hadst not those For whom thou shinest (Solo: Kyle Chapman) For ten years hast thou climbed hither unto my cave Thou wouldst hath wearied of thy light Had it not been for me, mine eagle, and serpent (Solo: Kyle Chapman)
8.
(Solo: Kyle Chapman) Losing the concept of the self to unfounded messianic worshipping Obsessively paying tribute to the intangible Universal neurosis spawned from belief in a false reality Epitomized by an incessant inability to see That the fate of all existence is not preordained Your affinity for fantasy shall eternally obfuscate Insipid minds harboring belief in the false Minds so convoluted that they are unable to be set free Mental formations correlate the senses Creating images of the truth Insufferable fools Pry open thine eyes And Behold this malignant tumor That has caused your delusions (Solo 1: Kyle Chapman; Solo 2: Ben Gassman; Solo 3: Kyle Chapman) The essence of man's existence shows there is no God Blessed is he who, in the absence of light, may guide the blind Out of synaptic lunacy And bring about the golden age of sanity Behold feeble minds of the fools Thy conceptual creator Archaic patriarchal protagonist Betwixt altruism and malevolence (Solo: Sam Haglund)
9.
(Solo: Ben Gassman) I am he who watches wit unflinching eyes at the deterioration of this mortal form Every orifice, a raped gateway to the altar of Dis Your torment shall be eternal Inflamed vaginal tissue entices me to continue this mortal’s degradation You are no longer human, this is evident by your mangled form Perpetual regression Mortal conception Phallic and placental remnants fill your shriveled stomach forcing you to carry on You are no longer human, this is evident by your mangled form (Solo: Kyle Chapman) You shall be defiled one more time before you are released from this world Your descent is complete, all that remains is a pile of gore and carrion The process of dehumanization is complete Your corpse no longer houses a soul It is nothing more than a hollow shell And yet how I do crave you (Solo 1: Kyle Chapman; Solo 2: Ben Gassman) Even in death, I desire your embrace, perhaps I shall violate you Your cold lifeless body is penetrated; the dichotomy of life and death is dissolved
10.
O Holy Father, pseudonym of thy narcissistic creator Thy children have been polluted by the women of Men Behold their Children of Fornication; the Nephilim The corrupt offspring of the fallen They have turned against your creations In acts of gluttony, they hath devoured All of which the labor of men produced And hath, in turn, chosen to devour the men of the Earth In the absence of lesser beings They shall turn on one another And consume the flesh of their kin The Earth hath reproved the unrighteous What hath thy servants beheld from thine ethereal perch? The sins of Azazyel and Samyaza Who hath bestowed knowledge upon the unworthy How shalt we admonish them for their treason? Azazyel shalt be bound and cast into the Desert of Dudael Enshroud him in darkness so that his eyes may never see light Turn the Nephilim on each other Let them perish by mutual slaughter Announce to Samyaza and his followers The unearthly crimes which hath been committed Tell them of their impending damnation Of the fires which shall consume them for their earthly consummation Those of the Earth shall never obtain peace Nor remission of sin They shall behold the slaughter of their offspring; Their beloved And so shall this pestilence be cleansed (Solo: Chris Jones) Go forth, scribe of the righteous Enoch, messenger of thy extraterrestrial overseer Deliver thy message of condemnation For the exaltation of the Watchers So saith your malevolent God Who hath reproached the act of procreation For fear that the tangible shall incite My cataclysmic upheaval And thus behold a world of man
