The warm veil of innocence
Shattered and broken
In an instant
Burn, Scream
Horrible truth consuming
My sanity
Deep in every man’s heart
Lies unbounded darkness
The seed of corruption present
In both saints and tyrants
A man can build a paradise
Through his brother’s sacrifice
Nothing is ever truly gained
Wealth for karmic debt exchanged
Before the fall
We were one
Boundaries dissolved
Youthful and wise
A perfect balance
Destined for demise
When the harbinger of death has claimed your soul
You’ll be stripped of all you are to pay the toll
Tearing my own flesh down to the bone
Such pain to erase all I’ve ever known
Nothing left of me but a longing for home
I will return by shedding this form

Opulence
04:48
|
|||
|
Ancient creator
Tyrannical mother
Great equalizer
Of birth and death
Each soul granted
Either gift or curse
Favoring the strong
And claiming back the weak
Suffering holds the key to the truth
Will you stand strong
Or beg her to soothe
The unbearable pain
Of Existence
The struggle for survival
So persistent
She will gladly swallow you whole
The moment you admit defeat
For it is her role
To eliminate the meek
Now the victors feast in excess
Consuming her without rest
‘Tis a grave mistake indeed
To reap without sowing seed
When subsistence turns to opulence
The will of nature reverses
Once her children, now invaders
In her eyes ‘tis death we deserve
Will we stop gouging our dying mother?
Or be gluttons with her flesh and blood?

Desolate
07:35

|
Thousands of years ago
My spirit prospered
I waked among Gods
As a mortal
No blood of mine
Belonged to Royalty
I’ve become
Immortal
Thousands of years ago
My spirit prospered
If you want
To test a man’s character
Give him power
They call me the truthful one / Obeyed and Sung (3X)
Seriousness
Diligence
Justice
Will Follow
Time is a master of
Deception
Misfortune
Nobly-born is good fortune
If I will it
I will see thy glory
Seriousness
Diligence
Justice
Will Follow
This divinity will be gory
These screams will echo for eternity
Follow me on this journey
Of the mind and soul
Keeper and destroyer

A Tale of Fire
05:04
|
|||
|
Greed is filled in my veins
I pounce on the smell of mortals
There is no end to my reign
I am drenched in death
No loss of breath
I will destroy
Everything in sight
This is my birthright
I can melt this mountain
I am the last fire-breathing dragon
I kill where I wish
And none dare resist
I will rid this humanity
One breath at a time
This monstrosity
Once ancient, now divine
I am the chosen
I am the last
Fire-breathing dragon
I kill where I wish
And none dare resist

Cosmic Convergence
05:04
|
|||
|
Across the Universe
Beyond Dimensions
Entities Prepare
For the great migration
Consciously Separate
Returning to the source
All barriers fading
Stars consume themselves
Primordial Energy
Tearing the ether
From where life came
There it now returns
Retreating unto itself
Matter converging
Physical bonds break
Planes of existence
Into each other merging
Ethereal Ocean
Souls of ancients
Disintegrating
From where life came
There it now returns
Retreating unto itself
One final cry
Begging not to die
As all we are
Is swallowed by stars
No, I don’t want to die
Please don’t take me from this life
The fire must burn forever
I will resist ‘til the end

Holy Killer
05:06
|
|||
|
I am made of fire and hate
I am desolate
Awake
Ready to detonate
Destroyer, slayer
Rotting away
Like a cup filled with decadence
Tortured Spirit
Filled with resistance
Dismembered
Soul controlled
This glorious nightmare
Is not yours to compare
Birth and born from fear
This Holy Killer
Won’t Disappear
Possessed by anger
The ghost before me
Is forever with me
I am his vessel
Until I see
What afterlife is given to me

Death Be Not Proud
06:32
|
|||
|
Death be not proud
I will scream just as loud
My last breath is yours
Dismembered soul
I take it as mine alone
The mind is the ruler of the soul
I can’t fill this void
Loss of control
My wrath here to unfold
It’s time to go
I know
Breathe on
Breathe on and die
Dead and gone
Floating in the sky
Waiting for something
Anything
Breathe on
Breathe on and die
Dead and gone
This will always be
Nothing more to me
How could this happen
Forbidden, my will
I will die on this hill
Down into
Chaos that awaits
The reaper
No longer waits
Reborn as death and life in one
Completely replaced
Down into
Chaos that awaits
The reaper
No longer waits

Stoned Dragon
07:45
|
|||
|
Deep in a cave
Darkness surrounding
Sitting in silence
Fulminating
Inner fire
Restrained, herbs burning
Thoughts of destruction
Overflowing
Ostracized and driven to hate
For choosing scale over skin
This rejection I cannot tolerate
From those I once called my kin
I’m your protector
Don’t you remember
My former glory
Not draconic
Years erased
The memory
Of sacrificing
My humanity
Ostracized and driven to hate
For choosing scale over skin
This rejection I cannot tolerate
Soon I shall surrender my soul
A lamenting growl pierces the night
Echoes of human cries trailing behind
The stoned dragon finally takes flight
Herb no longer soothing, he will hurt his kind
Soaring through the skies towards death’s embrace
Bringing with him all who owe him life
Inner flame unleashed, blazes rising, people dying
Final moments spent in pure terror, agonizing
Bittersweet revenge, was it worth it?
Tears now flowing, diving in a scream
Meant to be the last
Crying
For his failure
Hating
His weakness
Wishing
For the end to come
Crashing
To his death

Visions of Infinihility

Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet!
