Iron Legion
03:42
|

Machines of war, gather in force, attack with hate, sealed our own fate, we ride on the wings of death with pride, bound in iron to battle we ride, I have become iron legion
No mercy, no pity, no sympathy for your worthless lives
Disdain, disgust, the wrath burns right through my eyes
Surrender or die, enslavement there's no other way
Resistance is futile, no god left for you to pray
Rebellion no more, shattered to the core, you will see, no one will be freed, the iron will has crushed your faith, assimilate or annihilate, all will become iron legion!
No mercy, no pity, no sympathy for your worthless lives
Disdain, disgust, the wrath burns right through my eyes
Surrender or die, enslavement there's no other way
Resistance is futile, no god left for you to pray
Life has ceased, this world's been breached, those who remain choke their last breath, enemies laid to their final rest, all have become iron legion, all have become iron legion!

The Essence of Hate
03:27
|

The burning question is how to survive
Channel the essence of being alive
I spit on your joy and I spit on your bliss
How did I let it all come to this?
Nothing but pain you have brought into my life
Littered, tarnished, defiled with strife
Filled with sacrifice, anger, and remorse
Decisions were made, were they on the right course?
The Essence of Hate - will swallow your soul
The Essence of Hate - I’ll spit on your grave
The Essence of Hate - Foolish enough
The Essence of Hate - to think I could save
The Essence of Hate - Redeeming qualities
The Essence of Hate - you have but just one
The Essence of Hate - I fucking despise you
The Essence of Hate - and all you have done
My heart, like a tombstone, a message was carved
Paradoxical scenario, permanently scarred
Stuck in this world and forced to exist
If my path you should cross, another name off my list
Showered with bloodshed, my enemies will quake
A festival of death lingers in my wake
The final chapter drenched in affliction
Those in my way will fear my addiction!
Nothing but pain you have brought into my life
Littered, tarnished, defiled with strife
Filled with sacrifice, anger, and remorse
Decisions were made, were they on the right course?
The Essence of Hate - will swallow your soul
The Essence of Hate - I’ll spit on your grave
The Essence of Hate - Foolish enough
The Essence of Hate - to think I could save
The Essence of Hate - Redeeming qualities
The Essence of Hate - you have but just one
The Essence of Hate - I fucking despise you
The Essence of Hate - and all you have done

Badge of the Assassin

Assassinate
Only I, decide their fate
Assassinate
Only terror, left in my wake
The world divided into three
The Good, evil and Me
I breathe in their life
I spit out their death
Assassinate
Decide their fate, only I
Assassinate
Left in my wake, only terror
Badge of the Assassin
Hatred is my reason
Badge of the assassin
It's always killing season
I collect your souls
I collect your bones
All you hold close
Now becomes my own
I am imposition
Atrocious sycophant
I am my creation
Eradicate the land
Assassinate
Decide their fate, only I
Assassinate
Left in my wake, only terror
Badge of the assassin
I feed off your cries
Badge of the assassin
My trophy as you die
I collect your souls
I collect your bones
All you hold close
Now becomes my own

Dying wasn't part of the plan, fear, emptiness, hatred...
Led me to this paralyzed state of being unconscious
Embalmed, entombed, inject the fluids...the foul stench still evident, coursing through my veins
I must relive the pleasure...
I can feel them burn within me
Feeding the urges of flesh, animation is all that remains Cremation failed, cadaver preservation, i shall live again
With unlimited access to butcher at will, the slaughter will be inconceivable... Nothing left to stop me, the look of fear in their eyes!
Sadistic displays of artistic creation Satisfy desires, yet aspirations remain
Shrieks of agony still present in my thoughts Eternal bliss in massacre, nothing else compares
I can feel them burn within me

Dormant rests a soul
A thousand years devising
Thrust into his role
Apocalyptic rising
Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art
Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart
The mastermind is coming
There's no denying this
Worldwide genocide
Is what he considers bliss
Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art
Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart
Articulate screams
Thought to be dreams
Etched in humanity
Throughout eternity
No one will respect
Imposing annihilation
Except the one
Who has composed
This fatal Invitation
Composing the apocalypse - A piece of complex art
Maleficent symphony - Like a scalpel through the heart

Deviant/Symbiont

Separated at birth
Opposite ends of the earth
Deviance inside is the tie that binds
There will come a time
When their minds will align
Deviance inside will hear their cries
Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological
Deviant - Symbiont, Maniacal
Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological
Deviant - Symbiont, Diabolical
Separated at birth
Opposite ends of the earth
Deviance inside is the tie that binds
They'll walk different paths
They'll have the same objective
Telepathically killing Identities undetected
Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological
Deviant - Symbiont, Maniacal
Deviant - Symbiont, Psychological
Deviant - Symbiont, Diabolical
Bound together, symbiosis
Drawn to each other, perversive
Soon to be one, culmination
Once complete, annihilation

Awoken by moonlight
Shining down, burning my skin
I try to get up, can't move
A battle unable to win
Paralyzed, no clue where I am
I'm petrified, nothing in sight
No memory of the previous night
Why can't I fucking move?!?
Hours pass as I lay and stare
Images form against the glare
A constellation begins to emerge
In the uncharted cosmic sea
Preserved in time, as the hours pass
Captivated, I begin to study
Absorbing it all in
Am I the first to see
This horrific astral atrocity
The lies, the pain
The hate, the suffering
The tale of another age
Decimated eons ago
Their fate prosecuted by rage
Annihilation
No exaggeration
The Decimation Constellation
Moments before death
Processing the thoughts
Of the images I have seen
I ask myself one last question...
Why can't I fucking move?!?!

Tragedy, life begins
Unknowing of the future sins
Was the path already chosen?
Or is it we who do the choosing?
Moral fiber determination
Perpetual endurance
Uncertainty, indecision
A battle with your mind deemed inconclusive
Decadence infusion
How did this all begin?
How was I not the one to win?
How to control the fucking pain
Prefer to be bathed in acid rain
Anger, rage, dying to come out
Emotions searing from within
But all I can do is lock them in
Passionate devotion for the cause
In this game of life there are no laws
Self empathy is for the meek
Must stay strong, there is no weak!

A millennia ago, from the earth’s core arose
Mythological deity, eternal path he chose
Kings of ancient societies, priests in highest form
Their skulls devise the serpent wolf’s crest as he is reborn
Lycanthropic Basilisk through the valley rages
Evil throughout the ages
Realm of the serpent wolf
Under the great pyramid he dwells
Realm of the serpent wolf
Reigning, his kingdom an interstellar hell
Hidden amongst the darkness...His desert catacombs
Primevil origins amidst a subterranean forest
Realm of the serpent wolf
Under the great pyramid he dwells
Realm of the serpent wolf
Reigning, his kingdom an interstellar hell
Archaic in form, dominating in his role
Feared by all mankind, Comprised of human souls
Thousands have tried to penetrate
they perish upon his corpse fused gates
Once disputed as mythology
Their dreams breed fear for all to see
Some have tried and all have failed
The serpent wolf will always prevail
He commands the land, He commands the sky
He commands all creatures wherever they may lie
His lore is known throughout time and space
Till the end of existence, he’ll continue his pace
Not man, nor wolf, not serpent’s son
Unique demigod for annihilation
Realm of the serpent wolf
Unrelenting vipers rise from his crown
Realm of the serpent wolf
The mention of his name brings cities to the ground
All who dare enter his kingdom
Suffer the same fate as past legions
Realm of the serpent wolf
Unrelenting vipers rise from his crown
Realm of the serpent wolf
The mention of his name brings cities to the ground

The Final March
04:44
|

The last walk of the legion
The final march to war
Comrades and heroes fallen
Victims to the iron horde
Wounds of the onslaught gape
From thine enemies sworn
Weapons of chaos waged
Has left humanity torn
No hope for peace
Faith in heaven fails
Destruction of all things sacred
The Iron Legion prevails
The last remaining light
Flickers in the wind
The fires of mortal life
Extinguished from within
The cold, dark, black takes hold
Life has ceased and lost
Collapse of man young and old
Alas, thy world falls
