Negasus 05:27
Look into the sky at night, and surely nothing you will see, my hooves tread ethereal strides, Nothing is the master of me. Constellations crumble, as my wings beat, soaring through the cosmos, space deeper than deep. I don’t Exist, of Pure Darkness, my Name: Negasus. Galaxies are but a glimmer, stardust upon my mane; Nebulas are but steps along my way, in my wake, nothing remains. The Universe trembles, should I speak, Supernovas light my path, my presence is omnipotent, I have no sorrow, I have no wrath. I’m not Real, Time is False, my Name: Negasus. See what I see, the other side, Sit upon my back, let’s take a ride. I don’t Exist, of Pure Darkness, my Name: Negasus. I’m not Real, Time is False, my Name: Negasus.

Atlantis in Ruins, a culture lost, Athens is next to be forgot. They took my brother, They killed my wife, even my daughter, Thus I’ll crush their lives. Let Fury be the first, to fall to my vengeful thirst; the Giant stands not in my way, a hundred broken hands bloody this day. The god of War, he will come next, Mortal or not, I’ll snap his neck. Wisdom thereafter, just more godly trash; She’ll follow her city to ash. Look in these eyes, what do you see? I’m just a man, who wished to be free. Now the blood of Immortals, stain my beaten hands, I will have my revenge, dismantle a thousand lands. Now tell me again, Is this what you wanted? To bring the end? At your feet roll your children’s heads, Has the message not been sent? Eradicate Olympus, Decimate the gods; only my vengeance, may calm these thoughts. Witness Desolation, leave not one life, Seas of Blood, Shattered Skies, Salt the Earth and Die.

Stagnant 03:51
Meaningless condensation, just dew on the grass of a mountain. Stuck in the tides of this evolution, a geocidal pollution. Forgiving the gunman, shake hands with the ammo; join the planetary warpath, leave behind your soul; so cold. Waking up in Hell, a pleasantry you’ll be spared: If only you knew, if only you cared. Trample the carcass of creation, smile from sedation; who needs sight with technology? Toss aside constellations. Break the pillars of society, bow down to the media god; fledglings of notoriety, television never lied to me! Waking up in Hell, a pleasantry you’ll be spared: If only you knew, if only you cared. But who are we, to claim to see, lost generations, intellectual negation: close your eyes, stagnitize.

The Sands foretold of skies flushed Red; of infernal rain, and rise of the dead. “God-kings” convinced they cannot be touched, Names be Eternal, flesh becomes dust. AWAKEN! APOPHIS! The stars erupt, flames engulf the air, god of Golden Phallus, your legacy is ne’er! Rupture the Earth, the time has come; Protector no more, slay the Artificial son. BETRAYAL! SETESH! Enter Duat, weigh your Heart; teeth of the Beast, tear you apart. Shattered obelisks, no Ankhs this day, the Earth his Throne, Let Chaos Reign.

Enter the forest, the trees begin to melt- I can’t seem to find myself, and the cards have all been dealt. Nonchalantly trippin’ out, So lost in this self doubt… Or is it joy? I can’t tell- I need some more, let’s raise some hell! Need some more! Oh God! I need some more! Stumble upon a stream, maybe it was all just a dream? Gazing into the water, I come apart at the seams. Take a dive, I’m somewhere else, the moon is red, and I hear bells! Need to run, need to fuckin’ leave- the whole damn forest is comin’ for me! Here comes the sky, where are my eyes? Where am I? Oh God, I’m so fucking high! The wind tells lies- begin to rise, need to learn to fly, or I’m gonna die! Welcome to my domain, to survive: surrender Sane. Endless screams, fortified in dreams. Inverse occlusion, sanguine delusions. Become the beast, the purest curse- relive it all in the next universe.

The Culling 04:56
Spread the blood of the Wild god, open up the gates, to the Necromancer’s Abyss, to meet My Fate. As the Shadows engulf Me, My virtues decompose, I was once a holy man, now I’m just a fiendish soul. Kick down the doors of Death, Purest Intent. They will come to fear my name, Darker than Hell begets. Grasp the Devil by the throat, I am the true Forsaken One, no room for three to rule, let their kingdoms come undone! As the Shadows engulf me, My virtues decompose, I was once a holy man, now I’m just a wretched soul. RISE! Beyond repentance! BY MY HAND! The end of the Existence! DIE! Shells of broken kings! I! Bring the Culling! RISE! Beyond repentance! BY MY HAND! The end of Existence! DIE! Shells of broken kings! I! Bring the Culling! As the Shadows engulf Me, My virtues decompose. I was once a holy man, now I am the Darkest Soul.

Unholy 06:06
Raindrops feel like acid, the winds strip my flesh. Born not of this world, cosmically rejected, a divine trainwreck. Through the pain, I gaze into the sky, and I see my enemy; coagulated, twisted hate: in existing, I oppose thee. Through aeons, I’ve walked alone, Crawling up these temple stairs. A crumbling heap of mass regret, intoxicating the very air. Yet my stride never falters, I challenge Eternity. No pride lingers inside, without will, I oppose thee. I am the Peace Forsaken. I am Continual. I am Death Forgotten. I am Perpetual. I seek no followers, I need no friends. Every single breath I take, is a step towards the end. Eyes rolling back, the skin peels away, my joints all release, yet I feel no pain. Bones become ash, my blood is now sod, humanity beneath me, My Mind becomes “God.”
