Track Name: The Empyrean Heroine of Despondency and Tribulation: Summoned from the blackened
Blazing clouds snuff
My breath lost in the quasar
Of negation, chosen for death

Death is lurking in hunger
Must quench its thirst
For human flesh, devoured
By the order of the heroine
Sentenced to a violent home

Death

Lust takes over
Addicted to the touch
Sharp nails leave bloody marks
Lacerated infatuation

Grotesque at heart
But so beautiful
Impossible to resist
Falling victim to charm

Knives of deception
Fall from the sky
My Queen has risen
Humanity's time to die

Summoned from the blackened
Blazing clouds snuff
My breath lost in the quasar
Of negation, chosen for death
Track Name: Blasphemic: By the blood of the raven I will have eternal life
You ask yourself why would I endure existence of strife?
Is it not better than everlasting night?

I plan to see centuries spread out before my eyes
Do not live my life

Who will deny me?
In Heaven, on sand?
You won’t deny me!
God or man!

Inside pentagrams I have met with devils and ghosts
Ever being the most worthy of hosts

This black hole
Is getting closer to my heart
Sucking away all that was left
Only emptiness has my mind and soul

I have grown in power, such ruthlessness and guile
I have slaughtered so many, guilt I no longer feel

Who will deny me?
In Heaven, on sand?
You won’t deny me!
God or man!
Track Name: Reverence for Cruelty (Part I): As i watch
My breath freeze
In front of
my overexposed eyes
I wish
For the eternal storm
To grasp me
And all the frail souls

God looks in my eyes
Crawling through the snow
No longer idolized

Brutally distorted creation
Of this world I wasn't
Meant to be born
Banish God for this fallacy

A catastrophic storm
The ice pierces through me

Angels wing's painted black and red
Provoked by Satan

God looks in my eyes
Crawling through the snow
No longer idolized
Track Name: Reverence for Cruelty (Part II): As the human race
Bows in reverence for cruelty
The messiah has been
Defeated once again
