The Reckoning

The reckoning
Reborn the perfect weapon, an instrument of demise
Provider of retribution, guilt personified
Constant menace, just below the surface
like a shark in bloody waters
Wounded sinners, ready for the kill
Meet the redeemer
I am revenge...
Karma's deadly hand
Ghost of the past, haunting the present
Stalking the convicted to avenge the innocent
Ghost of the past, hunting the future
Claiming the soul, through violent departure
Beg for mercy, cry forgiveness
Unable to repent
This benevolent act, angelic mask
Only disguise the deviance
I am revenge
Karma's deadly hand
Redemption through suffering
I, the reckoning
Serve to punish, Bring vengeance for the victims
Judgment to execute, penance for crimes against men
Relive this tragedy, forever feel the agony
Slave to the cycle of terror, a tormented destiny...
I am revenge
Karma's deadly hand
Redemption through suffering
I, the reckoning

UNDER DISORDER
This bastard
Once a king, now a fool \ Master of a regime, so cruel
Abuse the system to corrupt and rule
Dark age among society \ Century of tyranny
Left to starve and perish \ Force-fed misery
Decades of decadence \ Lifetime of malevolence
...Let the chaos reign
Throne crusher \ Hail regicide
Reverse the power, only mayhem decides
Those futile schemes have led the world to demise
Furious revenge \ royal genocide
This bastard
Once a king, now a fool \ Master of a regime, so cruel
Abuse the system to corrupt and rule
Dark age among society \ Century of tyranny
Diminished to nothing \ Forever-fed misery
Let the carnage commence
Comes madness…Anarchy is law
The world bleeds dementia
Where the ruthless survives
Under this order, comes disorder (2x)
Relentless, unpredictable
Maniacal threat to the leaders who oppose
Under this order, comes disorder (2x)
Obey no more, as the rebellion begun
Refuse to follow and comply to the norm

Power to Consume

Power to consume
Empire of demise in search of a savior
Hidden behind their moral flag, a swarm of cowards
modern sense of justice by greed coerced
To protect and favor the elite, exploit the masses
Fire and brimstone
Death rains from above
The final judgement
Wrath of a man-made god
Imperial tower of doom disguised as a refuge
Symbol of strength and virtue, tactical deceit
Religious believes only feeding the corrupt
Create reasons to execute tragedy and witness (the) collapse
Nations unite in front of this terror
In this time of need, demand a new leader
Enters a false prophet, (this) evil messiah arises
Seducing the weak with empty words and promises
Blinded by their fear, bloodlust and ignorance
Freedom disappears, dying with applause and compliance
Calculate and manipulate
Millions of victims to dominate
The power to consume the earth
The future of the world within his grasp
Hypnotized by the trigger
The beauty of the weapon
The temptation to end it all
An urge to become extinction
hellfire unleashed
The sheep follows \ obeys and reveres
The wolf commands \ Slaughters to feast
Upon the waste land \ Marching through ruins
Idolizing a new Eden \ Still searching for a savior...

As we Fall

As we fall
Downfall...
In political rage and religious carnage
Worship in the name of progress
Invisible hand controlling the waves
A digital bliss through media conspiracy
Fake idols followers, cyber-sexual perverts
Artificial greed while the future bleeds...
Spineless breed raised in cowardice
with a selfish need to express prejudice
While the planet fails and the corrupt prevail
Watching the world burn
entertained by the flames
...As we fall
Brainless generation of rats
consuming the poison, seduced by the trap
Endless perpetual void
Humanity's collapse, a pitiful spectacle
A fragile and futile race
Unknown to tragedy, in falsehood security
While society's fate is decided by the mad
Disaster awaits
Distracted by the lies, we fall...
As we fall...

Desolation, DC

Desolation, DC
Rage, rage against the rising tide
A broken vessel ready to decline
Within vision, a gloomy destination
Forgotten city sadly named desolation
All the resources are depleted / the troops are defeated / Forced to retreat…
Fade, fade within the ruins
An old church abandoned and rotten
History of betrayal and deception
Left miserable, memories of extinction
Feed me poison: Become the abomination
Embrace me as your own: A desperate population
Another victim of a failed ambition
Take me, welcome to desolation
A city left to perish \ Plagued by a curse
The great depression \ The final war…??
All the resources are depleted \ the troops are defeated / Forced to retreat…
My courage is depleted \ My will defeated \ I will remain in desolation…

Descent

Descent
Trapped into a shell
A painful cage that slowly decays
Prisoner of the stench
by his own flesh, betrayed
Time, the enemy
Racing against fate
for a place among history
Immortal desire, desperate fantasy
Searching divine
Compulsive dive into futile believes
Fear defeats reason
Arrogant display of ignorance
Truth beyond reach
A world devoid of certitude
Haunted by the questions
Tormented by existential solitude
Into the abyss, we stare
Pretend to know the end
Looking for a purpose
An ideal to make sense
Into the pit, we fall
A dreadful descent
Returning into dust
Living to die alone
Endless tunnel, forever black path
Follow the feeble light
Darkness drowns and suffocate mind
Weighted by remorse / Terrified at the outcome
Into the abyss, we stare
Pretend to know the end
Looking for a purpose
An ideal to make sense
Into the pit, we fall
A dreadful descent
Returning into dust
Living to die together alone

Children of the Gore

Children of the gore
Born in a pile of flesh
baptized in the blood of the elders
the unwanted seed, bathed and cursed
forgotten sin, demons of the past
from the filth of the earth
innocent figures crawling at the surface
a new reign of madness
Sudden distress, enemy of the sane
They are the shadows
like a devil in disguise
they are the future
only misery and death
Fear the malformed, praise the bastard
breed the killers, children of the gore
feel the terror rising from above
witness the horror, children of the gore
sons and daughters
afflicted with the urge to devour
orphans of violence
procreated to murder and evolve...
to murder and evolve
Remorseless cannibal race
devoid of conscience, they feed
through the land, feast upon the living
a desolate mankind left to rot
survive and despair
murder and evolve...
children...children of the gore

Mind Blinder

Mind Blinder
Godlike, a complex above ethics or code
Driven by obsession, morally deranged
Genius, perverse
In the name of science
Obliged to proceed, compelled to fulfill
Confined into a casket box
Strapped, sedated, ready to operate
Tubes and needles carefully inserted
A chemical mixture injected
Painful seizure
strikes the body, claustrophobic rage
Panic and delirium emerges
Through violent ecstasy
An experiment gone rogue
Through visual catastrophe
The project goes on...
Deprived of primary senses
The subject falls into comatose state
Accessing imagination at the core
Monitoring the subconscious
Through memories and trauma
Instincts and desires
Going beyond the persona
Initiate the mind blinder
For a moment, within reach
a divine link appears
A precious goal, his most coveted fantasy revealed
only to disappear...
Cerebral failure
The machine can no longer regulate
The patient can no longer tolerate
Agony in the absence of time and reality
Forever lost
Irreversible process
The conscience fades into the void
A living corpse remains...a living corpse remains...
Identity erased, a living corpse remains...
Like a ghost murdered, a living corpse remains...

Cicatrice

Cicatrice
Forteresse mentale, une facade impénétrable
Derriere le masque se cache le vrai visage du mal
Sans émotions, dépourvu d'empathie
Dégout et mépris ont défini son existence
L'absence de peur, le gout du risque, l'instinct du tueur, la cicatrice...
Danger publique aux intentions machiaveliques
Guidé par la soif, un acte précis et methodique
Insoupconné, anonyme et sans pitié
Libre d'assouvir ses moindres désirs meurtriers
Impitoyable sociopathe
Assasin solitaire
Redoutable, déchainé
Incapable de résister la chair
Obsession et discipline ont forgé ce prédateur
Un regard de glace, génocide pour étouffer la douleur
A l'origine du vice
De cette violence chronique
Un évènement tragique
La cicatrice
Forteresse mentale, une facade impénétrable
Derrière le masque se cache le vrai visage du mal
Sans émotions, dépourvu d'empathie
Dégout et mépris ont défini son existence
L'absence de peur, le gout du risque, l'instinct du tueur, la cicatrice...

From Pain to Fierce
03:02
|
|

From pain to fierce
Years of abuse, reaching a critical point
Dreaming to defuse, boiling vexation
The weight of the past, accumulate failures
Success that never lasts, surrounded by vultures
Hope is fading, sanity is degrading
From pain to fierce: Existence is misery
A life betrayed by love and family
From pain to fierce: slave to the anger
Demonized and tortured, the soul of a destroyer
Dangerous, furious, violent nature
Erratic, vindictive, both victim and aggressor
Hope is gone, shatter the prison
Release the animal upon men
From pain to fierce: experience the suffering / Feel my rage
This cage should have never to been opened
This monster is real (monsters are real)
The darkness finally revealed
Broken shackles
Beware the beast, a demon without hell

Nonsense
02:18

|

NONSENSE
No hope, no future / No victory, only failure
A worthless existence / Obsolete, dead conscience
No love, no virtue / No paradise, no god
Only a zombified life, roaming the earth
Decaying without cause
Before a clouded horizon
The darkness, the madness, the fear
This man-made illusion that slowly disappears
Slave to fatality
Doomed since birth to await the last call
Hypocrite believes to ignore the fall
Unavoidable mortality
Suspended over our heads for eternity
At the end of the road
Lost into doubt, a spiritual suicide
There is no truth \ No higher masterplan to root
There is no goal \ No higher calling to reach…
This is nonsense
To deny the lies is to suffer reality
