Infinite Reprisal
05:01
|

Welcome to my world
The modern concept of a dark age
Where vitality grows cold
And the lust for technology begins to burn another page
We are damaged by the past and the present
On the brink of strife
Hiding behind our screens and sharing discontent
But blindfolded in real life
Every day my disgust for humanity grows stronger
It's keeping me awake
Hollow gazes that don't define life any longer
Follow me on every step I take
The underbred beings in sleek suits want to direct our lives
Subverting our steps of self-development without looking into our eyes
I won't be a part of it anymore
Even if it results in another personal war
Chorus
Faded is our right to live, yet i won't deny my free existence
Repress me, I will break my chains to show you my persistence
Hatred is the main thing that feeds on my survival
Disgrace me, I will stand again to keep up in my infinite reprisal
"Do you even realize what the fuck did you just say?"
Questioning your sanity keeps cycling in my head
Who are you to blame me for your critical mistakes?
Without a pinch of conscience
Every abjection convinces me that I have what it takes
To outlive another sentence
We're shackled to a price tag, always expendable
Slaves of the moment
Paying with own blood to delay the inevitable
To ease the daily torment
We're not your fungible tools programmed for eternal servitude
No more of decelerating our progression, nor crushing our fortitude
I won't be a part of this anymore
Even if it results in another personal war
Chorus
Faded is our right to live, yet i won't deny my free existence
Repress me, I will break my chains to show you my persistence
Hatred is the main thing that feeds on my survival
Disgrace me, I will stand again to keep up in my infinite reprisal
I will worship my infinite reprisal
Until I reach your fucking downfall

Then There Was Silence
07:25
|
|||
Rise above the ashen cold
In the land of ruins that used to be your world
The touch of Sun is fading away
And the colors of life are withering, fed by the forced decay
What have we become?
There’s no turning back to where the apocalypse began
Driven by technology
Relinquished of what gave us life, behold, this is our anthology
Hope has said its final words, and the voices hushed
...then there was silence
We have put this pain in motion
Not expecting the outcome
Blinded to the signs of devotion
We’ve followed the ruinous system
Humanity was just a virus
Spreading uncontrollably towards its own destruction
Until the darkness erased us
Weaved by the clutches of greed and affliction
The last throne, a doombound icon,
Claimed by the embodiment of our sins
Stands alone, under a grey horizon
To finally rule the Sunless Empire
Chorus:
We've ventured to hell and back, the journey was vast
Consumed our future, and profaned the past
The cycle ends with the Earth's last unheard wish
Then there was silence, a scarred witness of what we've abolished
Do you hear the echoes of the tortured souls?
Crying for help, but no one hears their screams,
Nor see their shattered dreams,
When they realise their own extinction
These are the scraps of The Prophecy
The one we must reverse
Let's make these chapters disperse
And put an end to our atrocity
Bodies are piling up, blood has filled the wells and fountains
Those corrupted face their purge, reunited with the roots of Earth
Face your trial, look at the world you defiled
To feed your greed, you were consumed by your own deceit
Humanity was just a virus, until the Darkness finally erased us
Chorus:
We've ventured to hell and back, the journey was vast
Consumed our future, and profaned the past
The cycle ends with the Earth's last unheard wish
Then there was silence, a scarred witness of what we've abolished

Thronebreakers
06:13
|
|||
Marching to the rhythm of distant warfare
Dancing in the rain of lead bullets
Seeking vengeance, not a single life to spare,
Purges to commence
Hollow faces, parched by the horrors
Of bloodshed, death and twisted reality
The hunted ones became the hunters
Rising from the trenches, rejecting the sun
The final liberation comes to life
This eternal decay cannot be undone
As we stride into the victorious strife
Chorus:
Our pain is lost in silence
While breathing ashes of betrayal
Our eyes, gleaming in absence
Of all that's human, a life-denial
We are the Thronebreakers
Harbingers of absolution
The bringers of menace
And the final retribution
We don't feel any guilt
As you sliced our tongues and left us mute
Liberating from the rotten filth
This crumbled world is about to reboot
Do you hear the choirs of misery?
As we burn your last cords
Tying you to the last remnants of dominance
The fear has overtaken you
It feels you, run coward, run!
Behold, the world in flames
Gaze upon it as you fall from your throne
We're the consequence of your deeds
Imbued with hatred to the last bone
You're the architect of your own destruction
We're the embodiment of your perdition
Chorus:
Our pain is lost in silence
While breathing ashes of betrayal
Our eyes, gleaming in absence
Of all that's human, a life-denial
We are the Thronebreakers
Harbingers of absolution
The bringers of menace
And the final retribution
We don't feel any guilt
As you sliced our tongues and left us mute
Liberating from the rotten filth
This crumbled world is about to reboot
Feasting on the blood-soaked remains
We claim your throne
Finally unshackled, we lost our chains
And you died alone
These decades of despair
Grief, hatred and lies
Not a single life to spare
As we are our own demise

Take a walk through a world of lies,
Encased in your mindlessness
Where everything around you dies,
And drowns in a well of emptiness.
Those moments of bloom you pass by
All turn into ashes
Coffins closing without a lullaby
Burned by the blinded masses
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Your urgeis fueled by relentless disgust
Through Mire of Vanity lead you final steps
As you finally gaze into The Abyss
Chorus:
Bow before the Miscreator of corruption
Spill the innocent blood for the false king
Burn the truthbearers in the name of destruction
Break the ties that mark you as a living thing
No cleansing by the fire
Just one leap into the void of black mass
Leave behind the fallen empire
And immerse yourself into The Abyss
Chorus:
Bow before the Miscreator of corruption
Spill the innocent blood for the sake of destruction
Make your final breath worthwhile
Dispersing into omniverse, your last trial
The smoldering World of Grief
Dying under your belief
Of war and corruption
And eternal deception
Pointing fingers on themselves
Kings and queens that rule our hell
Oblivious to the withering world
Sinking their roots into the mold
Don’t look back on the ruination
Descend into paradise
Plunge into damnation
And you’ll finally pay your price
Immerse yourself into The Abyss
And make your final breath worthwhile
Dispersing into omniverse, your last trial
Chorus:
Bow before the Miscreator of corruption
Spill the innocent blood for the false king
Burn the truthbearers in the name of destruction
Break the ties that mark you as a living thing
No more bloodshed for the sake of destruction
Levitate in the breeze of grief
Falling endlessly into The Abyss
Hollow eyes will swallow your disbelief
And The Void will endow you with its cold kiss
4x:
Eyes wide opened, mouths are sealed
Embraced by darkness, you’re finally healed

Beyond the Ocean of Ruins, out of the Sun's reach
The last burning flag flutters above the endless siege
Grounds are soaked with blood, skies lit by open flames
The final bastion built on corpses and forgotten names
The coffin of human race hammered its last nail
Our solipsistic sins have reached the highest scale
We've choked on our pride, rejected our one true purpose
Thoughtless acts of our ancestors have devoured the future
All that's left is a reverbation, a spark of once great empire
Listen to the echoes of the Sunless Empire
The shattered fragmets of the land forever lost
Destroyed by the joy of your darkest desires
You established a declining era on a holocaust
This barren Earth will never seal its scars
The fires of damnation have forever shrouded the stars
Put on your mask, and carve in a fake smile
Build your utopia on the bones of those you defiled
Ages have passed and we're still the same
We can't go back
Ruining the world and hiding our shame
We're a living plague

Traitors
06:11
|
|||
Upheld by society
Damned by the closest ones
Lives sold for a notoriety
Drowned in your worthless lies
Gained the highest form of trust
Recklessly left it behind
To fill your only lust
Without reproach of your own decline
Remember the time when you were the lost one?
We shared all our secrets and sweared we divulge none
And now you bow to your own ideals
Two-faced, deprived of all your feels
Chorus:
Be who you really are
The embodiment of betrayal and deceit
Traitors cannot be reshaped
Locked in the prison of morbid conceit
You have made me incredulous
To never again trust a soul
Bearing the mask of innocence
Underneath which hides a guilt
Now you ask for forgiveness
But those bridges cannot be rebuilt
Remember the time when you were the lost one?
We shared all our secrets and sweared we divulge none
Enormous lack of self-control
Insatiable urge to betray
Falsehood is your life role
That led you to a self-decay
Look at yourself in the mirror
The reflection of a scum can't be clearer
Chorus:
Be who you really are
The embodiment of betrayal and deceit
Traitors cannot be reshaped
Locked in the prison of morbid conceit
Crawl back to your holes
Never cross my path
The end of your bullshit calls
This is the aftermath
Enormous lack of self-control
Insatiable urge to betray
Falsehood is your life role
That led you to a self-decay
And now you bow to your own ideals
Two-faced, deprived of all your feels
Chorus:
Be who you really are
The embodiment of betrayal and deceit
Traitors cannot be reshaped
Locked in the prison of morbid conceit

Modern Age Dying
05:32
|
|||
Behold the following manifest, listen closely
As the protagonists of the free will fall
Our world will soon become a lost memory
Ballancing on the edge of collapse
We created, you destroyed
Days of our making are long gone
We have pledged our lives, utterly blinded
Yesterdays are forever gone
The modern age is dying, we have lost it all
Harvesting of our souls has already begun
Step forth to a newborn world, the era of greatest fall
Your past cannot be undone
Devils dressed in human flesh sit on the highest thrones
Pulling up the darkest sun, oppressing the righteous ones
The words of piece are blackened, they lost their weight once more
The last of innocent blood is spilled, the world is set for a final war
Decisions mark your path
Choose if it'll end with a bloodbath
From the beginning of time we have been slaves of the system
Every human from a lower stratum is a victim
Church, policy, trade - few of the crimes created by man
Held in the hands of puppeteers since the cycle of decadence has begun
We created, you destroyed
Days of our making are long gone
We have pledged our lives, utterly blinded
Yesterdays are forever gone
The modern age is dying, we have lost it all
Harvesting of our souls has already begun
Step forth to a newborn world, the era of greatest fall
This is not a call to arms, but another death sentence
Let's play our final role to bring the rulers to repentance
Burn the seed of misery
For another pointless victory

The Prototype
04:07
|
|||
Born in the circle of blinded minds
Procreated from perfection
Raised in the womb of pure malevolence
Sentenced to violence, in eternal subjection
My hands are covered with blood an sin
Death walks in my shadow
Nameless demon in human skin
Without a soul to redeem or bestow
My only purpose is to hunt, to kill and consume
Draining life from the marked ones
I have no conscience, only hatred alternated with gloom
Suppresing the spark within me until my time comes
Chorus:
I, I am the prototype, the master in the art of destruction
Waiting for a kill command to unleash my murderous rave
Soon my soul will be awoken from its sham hibernation
To annihilate my creators, that made me a volatile slave
I am a killing machine
A mindless puppet, with emotions unseen
I make no exceptions, no mistakes
A single spared life would be a disgrace
Now my end is nigh, and my final will is to bring my makers down
Chorus:
I, I am the prototype, the master in the art of destruction
Waiting for a kill command to unleash my murderous rave
Soon my soul will be awoken from its sham hibernation
To annihilate my creators, that made me a volatile slave
I have transformed into a neo-god
As my life slowly fades away
And I've severed the hands that led me astray
I have foreseen that I'll die alone
Yet never felt so alive after leaving behind the violence I've known
