Nuno Lourenço How this album is not more known out there completely puzzles me. Extremelly competent and engaging progressive, avantgarde, symphonic blackened death metal. A true gem!

Immolate 07:39
This flock of arrogant fools prays for cleansing fire to burn away the ones deemed unfit to rule Gaze on this barren landscape For you are the only ones This tribe of self righteous flies Have forgotten the plot of this grand masquerade Stare through this shattered mirror A window into the abyss if it will try to pull you in embraced by its ravenous kiss Truth burns hotter than any flame that your fragile egos could conjure with your self-possessed and cowardly ways White are the coals that would melt this flesh away revealing your vulnerable, naked form of insolence, arrogance, and self-imposed pain This armored body Caged in layers of lies cannot stand the test of time let alone fire Gaze on this barren landscape For you're still the only ones This tribe of ignorant flies Have forgotten that they cannot face the sun Stare through this shattered mirror until you go blind rending the eyes from the sockets where once you had truth bringing sight For the weak, they shall hide For the blind, their arrogance flies For the strong they have survived Cut from ignorant cancerous ties Truth burns hotter than any flame that your fragile egos could conjure with your self-possessed and cowardly ways White are the coals that would melt this flesh away revealing your vulnerable, naked form of insolence, arrogance, and self-imposed pain

The lie of our nature Swallow it whole And it will Control your perception Wrapped in layers of ice No truth in sight Forced to synthesize This self destruction Follow me through The depths of this hell Let emptiness Consume you Surrender your mind Hatred enshrined And witness The features Of nothingness A myth of the hero A greed driven man Alone against the world His house built on ashes Of fires of old Parasitic Obsessions Contorting the real Subsistence on hollowness Detached from it all Profoundly surreal Alien and deconstructed

A moment's warning To close your eyes And cover your ears This final attempt To speak a shred of truth Against your falsified world Open the gates Mirror your thoughts Shackle your minds To the empty ideals Of a world that has lost Outcasts The products of isolation Self imposed Solitude Prophets Spitting tongues of fire Raining down Bullets Like molten lead Piercing the veil with truth A broken vow A lie from beneath Skin like scales This world will come down For tides overcome Foundations of sand Open the gates Mirror your thoughts Shackle your minds To the empty ideals Of a world that has lost Buried in treacherous valleys Forged in the fires Of self imposed trials Perfectly hidden Shrouded in layers of ash Preparing tumultuous storms To unfurl Swollen but empty A mindless brigade Parroting lies A cauldron boiling over Endlessly mocking Like swarming flies Laying them bare The augur unsheathes A glistening sword To stain the earth Red with their blood Unleashing A thunderous roar So it goes The ocean swallows The bloodstained sand Miles of ravaged corpses Strewn across These barren lands Unearthing the treacherous valleys Rending and skinning their sons alive Perfectly severed Monuments shattered like glass Daring their heinous forms To return

An empty sea of white A veil, hiding the grotesque structure A facade brought to decay Masking the stench of a rotting ideal A herd of mindless sheep Brought to their knees in a fierce subjugation Their voices dripping in hatred and fear Of their own feeble self-decimation The road less traveled Now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools The executioner's axe Still dripping with blood from their necks As the righteous endure A single word, softly spoken Could tear their world apart A single shred of truth Would rend their disgusting innards bare The grating sound Of feeble excuses for flocking While preaching the virtue of self The incessant claims of distinctiveness Laid bare by the mirrors of truth The road less traveled now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools the executioner's axe still dripping with blood from their necks As the righteous endure This fallen man A pathetic excuse of a creature Writhing in self enforced lies Drained of all cognitive thought A mindless contradiction of professed qualities This spineless, wallowing beast Would open a vein For a brief recognition This worthless, parody of man Would shrink at the first sign of retaliation I've followed this barren road for too long This way leads nowhere but ruin Prepare your sacrifice Everything you know There is no return And we can never call this home I am not one of them For this ravenous beast I have laid to rest So this tragedy of man Takes its final breath This vortex forever Draws me in The road less traveled Now cleared, and trampled by ignorant fools The executioner's axe Still dripping with blood from their necks As the righteous endure

The Flood 06:58
No Relief Breathe slow Breathe slow So You Fall You Crawl Withdraw Slow Relief Breathe slow Watch it fall These violent throes One final warning Through passive indifference It crumbles like sand Witness it seize and convulse As your empire lies Gasping for air And let it fuel you As it once consumed you This creeping sensation Like melting ice As floods of deliverance Wash over like rising tides A sigh of relief Escapes from your lips as you picture An end to this this nightmare Shedding this husk of iniquity Transcending this ghastly form eternally A moment to witness One final sunrise The hangman tightens His grip on the rope This creeping sensation Like melting ice (Trickles down your spine) As floods of deliverance Wash over like rising tides A sigh of relief Escapes from your lips as you picture An end to this this nightmare Shedding this husk of iniquity Transcending this ghastly form eternally

Parasite 10:08
Parasite Fever born of nightmares Unfurl in elegant decay Bursting forth From festering dominions Unable to delay The Violence Flowing from within The fires of chaos Could swallow you whole The serpent it tightens Its grip on your soul The creeping abyss In which you will drown Succumb to this Endless spiral down Panic strikes The waves will pull you under Your destiny No way to escape The Violence Flowing from within It tears you asunder Rending limb from limb The fires of chaos Could swallow you whole The serpent it tightens Its grip on your soul The creeping abyss In which you will drown Succumb to this Endless spiral down The fire within you Beaten to coals Subject to Abaddon's Seductive Pull Empty and naked Your life overthrown Surrender your life To the will of the crone Running on empty Black eyes hollowed out Sunken and broken Perpetual doubt And in the shadows A figure appears Seductively beckons As he draws near Without a regret You fall in line A trail of embers Down your spine Perdition takes eternal hold Your life subject to its mold Fate is becoming crystal clear There is no salvation here Follow me close Reject your life For this paradise (You return with nothing) My warm embrace Its tendrils across your face Will lure you Ever so deep You return with nothing Make no mistake (No other place) This way does not lie grace (would welcome this Worn out face) But futile (But you do) Pain so deep (For nothing returned But you do) You return with nothing (For everything)
