Cenotaph
Alone you stand - The final parody
Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality
Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead
For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread
Never forgotten - Wars memory lingers on
A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion
This solemn image - Constructed with resolution
A monument - To wars terminal conclusion
Cenotaph

| Destructive Infinity | |
|
You never thought life could come to this
Man reborn to die upon the altar of war
And now we stand, to face the truth
This world now enslaved, bound by hate
In fear of life, now that the mindless control
As the flame of hope for mankind now burns away
For now you stand alone to die
Whilst visions of horror infest your mind
Destructive - Man's lust for power
Infinity - A lifetime of war
Destroying your world, again and again
Suffering in torment, through agonising pain
Killing for pleasure, only the strong shall remain
An arising slaughter, as hatred and terror now reigns
Destructive - The world now ripped apart
Infinity - A never ending fear

| Prophet Of Hatred | |
|
Constructed with vengeful hate
The extinction of life, man's final plight
We strive until the end
Though none shall be taken alive
A killing machine, programmed for death
To destroy all that comes within his sight
Mindless, created insane
Mankind shall never survive
Never survive
Strength becoming weaker, as fear grows within
Faced with eternal damnation, the end shall now begin
Profane creation, the dawn of a new age
Technology's progression, over man machines reign
Enslaved without compassion, new masters of the earth we dwell
Human life is worthless, in this automated living hell
In the quest for perfection, life becomes obsolete
Humanity faces deletion, this nightmare world is complete
As we wait for execution, in silence we stand in line
The total extinction of the existence of mankind
Our futile life's now ended, free from the suffering and pain
Our systems now are loaded, we have been created profane
Profane creation, the dawn of a new age
Technology's progression, over man machines reign
Enslaved without compassion, new masters of the earth we dwell
Human life is worthless, in this automated living hell
In the quest for perfection, life becomes obsolete
Humanity faces deletion, this nightmare world is complete
As we wait for execution, silent we stand in line
The total extinction of the existence of mankind

| Realm Of Chaos (Live) | |
|
Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun
You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run
The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy
Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination
Past life you deplore, present life abhor
Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel
Mutated creature round you stare, at your limbs they all tear
It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care
Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist
To serve, worship, obey them - Is the only way to exist
Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy
The final requisition, is no longer your decision
The obscure depravity blinds you, now you cannot see
What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold
Now it's time to pay your price - The ultimate sacrifice
Gasp at your final breath - Cleansed now in your death
Your death
