I have to tell them
I know the truth
I have to warn them
The world is ending soon
They must believe it
I've seen the end
I have to trust in
This voice I'm hearing in my head
I've tried to reason
With everyone
I've tried to instill
*In them the fear of gods
They will not hear me
They're all condemned
I have foreseen it
Destruction, lamentation, death
They will not listen
I'm called a fool
They will all perish
Or live a life too cruel
They will not listen
I can't go on
I have to leave them
I won't be tormented no more
The voice has told me
Of this world's fall
The voice has shown me
I've lived it all
I have foreseen it
destruction, death
I have foreseen it
destruction, lamentation, death

A sudden gleam across the darkness
Falling from the sky
It came down quickly from the mountains
Quiet as a sigh
It slithered down into the valley
Moving like a wave
Arriving with the purpose
Our sins to lave
Relieving
Subduing
The sweetest lie
Comforting
And soothing
A soft-sung lullaby
It diffused into the cities
All across the land
And struck hard with resolution
With a godly hand
Grim, towering piles of bodies
Like we'd never seen
The corpses looked contented
Peaceful and serene
Around us
Inside us
It's everywhere
It's taking
And wasting
Our final breath of air
Diseased and rotting bodies
Lying on the ground
Death throes and ghastly torment
A horrifying sound
A grotesque, repugnant image
A macabre dance
The Hex has overwhelmed us
Leaving us no chance
It burned us
and wrecked us
Razed us to the ground
It drowned us
Consumed us
No hope was to be found
This unrelenting thrashing
Was the end of life
Close behind it surely followed
Despondency and strife
An endless tomb of anguish
Is our world become
Morbid wails climb to the heavens
The vacant skies above
Around us
Inside us
It's everywhere
It's taking
And wasting
Our final breath of air

At the dawn of tomorrow
Filled with pain and sorrow
They're facing war and famine
The end of days is coming
Slaughter,devastation
Total desolation
Human obliteration
A state of mass annihilation
In a state of contrition
Basking in self attrition
Drifting through the night
Hazy dark delight
I hear their screams of pain
Crawling up my veins
I’m on a messed up trip
Smile high and take another hit

The eyes of gods
Watching me
Visions of hell
Ηaunting me
The woe of Men
Takes its toll
The throes of death
They have pierced my soul
I must endure
Must resist
I must ensure
We persist
Their blood will be
On my hands
The gruelling guilt
Rips my heart apart
Feverish thoughts of wretchedness (Cogita miseriam)
Hammering my mind (Malleo tuam mentem)
They have all rejected me (Omni te pernegaverunt)
How could I be so blind (Tam caeca eras)
The gods they have forsaken me (Dei te derelinquerunt)
Should it be that I (Tempus est ut)
Shall wallow in my selfishness (Cogites te ipsum)
Abandon them and leave them all to die? (Relinquas eos et ei moriantur)

The Redeemer

Hear me all ye hopeless
Sons and daughters of this Earth
Thou who kept on living
While your world was swept away
I am the undying mankind
I am the unending race
I'll guide you through all this darkness
This prophet will raise the dead
Flock your bairns around me
Grab ahold of my blessed hand
I'll build an ark to save thee
And sail to the promised land
I am the undying mankind
I am the unending race
I'll guide you through all this darkness
This prophet will raise the dead
Through the destruction, the suff'ring and pain
My glorious mercy, it will shatter your chains
You shall not perish, those who heed my call
You'll live forever with me as your lord
Hear me all ye hopeless
Sons and daughters of this Earth
Thou who kept on living
Under bodies of the damned
Flock your bairns around me
Relish all my blessed hand
My ark shall end your anguish
And bring you with me to the promised land
From this unwavering nightmare
To heaven together we'll rise
I shall bring light to the darkness
I shall bring truth to the lies
I shall absolve you of honour
I shall get under your skin
I shall baptise in corruption
And marry your virtue to sin

Refuge of Impiety

Spent and screaming at the foot of my bed
They moan in a euphoric state
Survivors in my house of vices
They revel in what I create
The end of days has brought you to my door
Once you're inside i promise you won't fly, you'll soar
The world outside is decimated
But we spit in the face of death
No laws, no gods, no retribution
Forever on this toxic Earth
The end of days has brought you to my door
Embrace your deepest sins and let me hear you roar
The price you pay for your salvation
Is only that you must let go
Give in wholly to your sweet perversion
Yeah
I have saved you from annihilation
And inside this ark I am the law
Give in wholly to your sweet perversion
Yeah
