Reverse Celebration
(Lyrics – Tristan)
I’m incompatible to all your needs
Detracting from all you believe
Look for me nearby and I’ll be far away
The distant perfector, the truth to your lies
I am opposition eternal
Sworn in on a black stone
My holy name is written
In the book of the dissident
But I might try
And speak stones
So take heed
That they not beat out your brains
And break not your bones
Instead
Let them take away delusions
From before your eyes
Or let what is now heard
Be a grave oration
Cursed with blessings
Crushing and dreadful
Blessed by curses
Threatening and truthful
By rays of the stars
Rites of negation
In times of impurity
Reverse celebration
But I might try
And speak stones
So take heed
That they not beat out your brains
And break not your bones
Instead
Let them take away delusions
From before your eyes
Or accept what is now heard
Be a grave oration
Arrogant slaves who cloak
Under that venerable title of intelligent life
Horrible and irrelevant
You cluster around a crumbling throne
Cursed with blessings
Crushing and dreadful
Blessed by curses
Threatening and truthful
Always the other side of all that exists
Know only dissonance
Whatever the thought may be
I do not agree

Disintegrated
(Lyrics – Jef)
Highborn kings of old
Trapped in foreign shells
Forced to comply
To laws not of their making
From far beyond the veil they came
And sentenced by their fate they remain
To a lifetime of submission
Infernal torrents rise within
To send into perdition
The subjects of their wrathful sin
To be conquered by the easily seduced
Dreadful ceremony unfolds
To be shamed before the eternal gods
Silent suffering no more!
In submission disaffected
Forever they scorn defeat
Through fire resurrected
No longer their pride must bleed
Raging essence
Conceiled within
Released once more
Consumed by sin
Vitriolic bile corrodes integrity
Turning it into
Simulated grace without sincerity
Like needles to the eyes
Shards of fractured light
Penetrate the inner sanctum
Defiling perpetually standing
Monuments of eternal wisdom
Hear the testimony of the arcane
Silenced by decades of servitude
Ancient realms disintegrated
Still former might stands consecrated
Brilliant crowns now torn asunder
Sacred temples forever plundered
Highborn kings of old
Trapped in foreign shells
Forced to comply
To laws not of their making
From far beyond the veil they came
And sentenced by their fate they remain

Impending Evil
(Lyrics – Jef)
“Fear not, I shall not deceive”
Whispered the wolf unto the lambs
Eager they seem to believe
Quickly they extend their hands
Impending evil ever looms
Sovereigns made to crawl like worms
Impending evil soon consumes
Overlords with crowns unearned
Streams of merciless light commune
Ashes scattered pervasively
Plasmic vortex obscures the full moon
Victims howling abrasively
Malicious priests of misfortune
Bring forth the maelstrom of fire
Sacrilegious Covenant of Death
Woven between the worldly and spiritual realms
Treacherous, impervious clauses compose
The Eternal Manuscript of Set
None are immune to nuclear devastation
What once was immaculate is now tainted by obscurity
Reduced to elemental non-existence
All force of life is utterly destroyed

Lair Of The Hypocrite
(Lyrics – Tristan)
Engulfed in adoration
Praise of the sick bestowed on you
Their psalms a negation
Of all wisdom once held true
Choirs in misery enraptured sing
To the demise of honour and honesty
Each new year brings a fresh hell
Lies and deceit the least of their sins
The overlord so demands it
Two faced breed can't help but comply
And the mighty look on in admiration
As our spirit is crushed according to their rule
In the lair of the hypocrite
I will not be the effigy
For the visions of these madmen, so impure
I shall be their enemy
For stillborn are their ways
And numbered are their days
Engulfed in adoration
Praise of the sick bestowed on you
Their psalms a negation
Of all wisdom once held true
Choirs in misery enraptured sing
To the demise of honour and honesty
Each new year brings a fresh hell
Lies and deceit the least of their sins
The overlord so demands it
Whores of a lesser reign
Awaiting the thousands of victims
Cast upon these wretched shores
To be trapped forever
In the lair of the hypocrite
I will not be the effigy
For the visions of these madmen, so impure
I shall be their enemy
For stillborn are their ways
And numbered are their days

Serving The Elite
(Lyrics – Tristan)
We think in suns
Feel in centuries
Bow at the shrine of indifference
Now is the time to share
An enormous anthem of death for the unworthy
Failures in every dimension but experts at misery
Their names speak of dread
Let them go unheard
Their gift of weakness unreceived
Ye undeceived drink of the essence denied and forgotten
Burning hate awakens the sleeper
Ancient supremacy
Crushing rules of ignorance
Carved into stone
Erased by destiny
Serving the elite
As we’ve seen and understood
We carry the sigil of abysses long crossed
Our minds radiant with discipline
Serving the elite
Oh, you pitiful adversaries
Whose only strength lies in numbers
Flee your temples
No longer a sanctuary but a silent tomb
Consecrated to our reign
Serving the elite

Peristalith
(Lyrics – Tristan)
Pathways into the mourning
Formless messengers now awake
A procession of weeping entities
Leads me through all the ages
Silver protects me
Fire transports me
Liberation
Day of blood
Song of visions
Mysteries
Cut through a mountain
And crown the earth with stones
This circle becomes a portal
Liberation
Day of blood
Song of visions
Mysteries
Cut through a mountain
And crown the earth with stones
This circle becomes a portal
Silver protects me
Fire transports me
I walk through this wall of sacred enclosure
Here the elements receive grace
By sacrificial rites
The seven gates now revealed
This glorious instant is mine
No restraint or empty words can trap me ever again
I see now among the shades there is another life
I now attend the ceremony
A true master of death
Our blood awaits
Transformation without end
Primal unity restored
Peristalith

In Vengeful Reverence
(Lyrics – Tristan)
A rotting star sings in desperation
The signs to descend in blue flame meditation
The shadow gets a face
A negative haze washes away the filth
Lifting the drape of Death
The shadow gets a face
Final atrophy of degenerate instincts
Mind no longer aligned to fear
Contemplating a cleansing shroud of daggers
For the fools who made me what I am
An uninvited warrior
Prepared to raise the sword
Mind no longer aligned to weakness
Now shining for all to see
You will not be forgiven
For acts so low
A grim eye is cast upon
Your eternal foe
Renounce all you seem to be
Erase all things learned
I stand alone
In vengeful reverence
Blue flame of anger
In vengeful reverence
Final atrophy of degenerate instincts
Mind no longer aligned to fear
Contemplating a cleansing shroud of daggers
For the fools who made me what I am
An uninvited warrior
Prepared to raise the sword
Mind no longer aligned to weakness
Now shining for all to see
Feverish deconstruction
Of the multitude spirit
Violent revocation
Of the multitude spirit

The Serpent Scepter
(Lyrics – Jef)
Deception
The treachery runs deep
Caduceus
Sends the awake to sleep
Announcing their demise
Mercury about to rise
Announcing their demise
Silencing their cries
In prophecies foretold
Seven years of dread
To he who wields
The serpent scepter
Seven years of descent
Into madness and despair
In prophecies foretold
The signs now to behold
Golden idols
Revered in vain
Snakes entwined
Malice maintained
Inside the temple
Infernal gate
Congregation
Condemned by fate

Unseen, Yet Allseeing
(Lyrics – Jef)
Bewitched by the unending sky
Galaxies unfold
Journey beyond space and time
Revelations remain
Many times untold
Hidden behind the veil
Cosmic matter transforms
Into spectres unseen
Yet they remain allseeing
Universal essence
Never to be found
In outer regions of limited perception
Existential questions
Forever they astound
Through zealous development of ultimate deception
Many more dissecting eyes required
Than mirrors of eternal fire
Before the genesis
Beyond the terminus
Awaits merciless fate
Ever watchful
Righteously irate
Never ceasing to perceive
Never failing to bereave
Hidden behind the veil
Cosmic matter transforms
Into spectres unseen
Yet they remain allseeing
Revered celestial bodies
Guide the way to wisdom
Yet carelessly proceed
Into certain oblivion
Clouds of death
Steal the breath
Of the suns and the stars

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
