Metathronon

I am the one for perceiving the soul
I am the most high
Protecting the realms of all of the earth
come here when you die
Chorus:
Producing a new race from dust
reducing the fallen to ash
Seven pillars of unholy wings
tremble before me in fear
glowing white eyes too see through your soul
the hour of doom draws near
Holding the blueprint for all creation
governing all of life
creator/destroyer master dethroner
he who brings light

Radical Schism
04:57
|
|||
Cause and effect
Saviors in their own minds Violence on violence
Working to a mad extreme We have our next war
The neo-men and sons of Allah One that he powers that be
United in chaos Will make it critical to fight for
Spreading war worldwide
An enemy that never existed Leadings us to die
A threat that we created In a tied of our own blood
Fighting to be gods chosen cause Freedom rung anew
Innocence in the crossfire Deception is the rule
Reaching for a phantom conclusion
Drag us all into a bloodstained labyrinth
A screen of values in place
Total revolution An invisible threat at the door
Ignore the consequence Political turmoil domestic chaos
All roads lead to tyranny Echoes of a lunatic
A fanatic’s mentality Filling an ocean of desperate ears
Chorus:
Locked in a radical schism
Leaving the world behind
Contrast in perception
Foundations untwine
Don’t trust reality
A reckoning is nigh
Sacrifice the ethos
For the flag and god almighty
Weakness to destroy
Strength to employ
Freedom and revolution
Epidemic corruption
American justice for Arab blood
Islamic glory with American lives
They see a worldwide condition
An apocalyptic infection
Failed revolutions
Utopian deaths
A grave in Manhattan
The scars of Afghanistan
A chokehold on the earth
Diabolic strategy
To write the pages of history

Hand of Mercy
04:05
|
|||
I'm here to take your pain away
it is my only calling
inject relief into your veins
the guide to the other side
On a morbid mission
driven by insane conviction
apply twisted medicine
begin this morbid repetition
Take my hand of mercy
out of this shell of life
the cold effect of my empathy
take my hand of mercy
you have no choice
the self appointed reaper
one body after another
the calculated murder
An arsenic prescription
the hidden poison
Injected and ingested
suffocated in their beds
an act of grace in my head
Take my hand of mercy
out of this shell of life
the cold effect of my empathy
take my hand of mercy
you have no choice
Hiding in the system for years
Cyanide flowing free
Praying on the weak and sick
healing with a tainted medicine
Driven by untold urges
with so many bodies left behind
I'm a man of compassion
compulsively playing god
Take my hand of mercy
out of this shell of life
the cold effect of my empathy
take my hand of mercy
you have no choice

Green inferno
Beyond the modern world
Primitive Destination
Exploitation to be sold
Nothing is impossible
No act of cruelty
Obscene spectacle
Blatant inhumanity
On a journey to find sensation
With savage intent
Relentless violation, unforgivable transgression
No one leaves the same, swelling bloodstains
Bodies on their spikes
Rotting with the insects
Burial in a drooling mouth
Taste a primal conquest
Castrated decapitated
Digested in the arms of nature
Ripped to bloody shreds
Scream with your final breath
On a journey to find sensation
With savage intent
Mindless denigration, cultural invasion
No one leaves the same, terror burned in the brain
Society forgotten
Stepping back in time
A hunger for the profane
Sacrifices will be made
In arrogance they kill
In agony they die
Contest of malice
The savage way and the savage mind
On a journey to find sensation
With savage intent
Modern abomination, ruthless elimination
No one leaves the same, echoes of pain

Binary Swipe
03:40
|
|||
I can no longer function inside these walls
Fuelled by your corruption my sanity takes its toll
Chorus:
Dead in a house of ashes
brains on autopilot
Binary Swipe lack of life
out to buy no reason why
onto death to the last breath
Gone is my perception of time
going full stride a figure now surrounds me
trust me you'll be fine
I can no longer function inside these walls
A swipe of ones and zeros to make you feel absolved

Sour Diesel Ride
04:14
|
|||
It came from the earth
to be bestowed upon mankind
teteahydracannibinal
it is the only way
Chorus:
Will you have the genius to grow
or shall you be left behind
in the sour diesel ride
A monolithic terror
standing 100 feet tall
devour all in its path
rise the end
epic failure of genius
watch oh so closely
breed the final strain

Carnage Beacon
05:26
|
|||
July 1943 Operation Citadel
On the fields of the eastern front
A major German offence
Waiting and then striking east again
Pincer movement North and South
Surround the Kursk salient
Send the panzers and infantry through
Destroy all Soviet resistance
Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless
Behind miles of trenches wires and mines
The red army prepares and waits
Artillery awakens hell in the dawn of July 5th
Army Groups 5 and 9, Assault Zhukov's lines
Caught in a fortified web.
Bleeding out over the days.
Attrition back and forth.
Fighting for all their worth.
Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless
At Prokhorovka
A massive armored clash
Black smoke fills the sky
No sight of a winning side
Emotionless weapons, the world at war
The burning carcasses of iron beasts
Shock action, Steel melee
Ignite the fire of the carnage beacon
The world is lost in the blaze
Onward through the smoke and dust
The mechanized ranks are thrust
Roar of guns endless
Grind of treads relentless
After 8 days of fighting.
The offence has been spent
Tanks by the thousands.
Lie wasted in the fields.
Thousands dead in a doomed gamble
The motherland has again endued
The Reich's downfall has begun

Commanded by Fate
04:51

On the pacific ocean during the second world war
The Allies land in the Philippines
The last stand of the Japanese Imperial Navy, all forces committed
Operation Sho-1, their massive plan
To smash the invading fleet
Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death
Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames
Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths
Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight
The American Admiral Oldendorf
Must defend the invasion force.
With 6 battleships, savaged from Pearl Harbor
Low on ammo with no air cover
The ships begin patrols, Waiting for their enemy.
Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death
Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames
Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths
Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight
Counting on divine assistance to their cause
The Imperial navy sails on in the dead of night
Torpedo runs by PT Boats and Destroyers
Sink the battleship Fuso
spotlights search for targets, radar screens glowing bright
onward they press exchanging fire on dark waters,
At the edge of Leyte Gulf
The T is crossed, on the Allied battle line
All guns brought to bear, full broadside firing
Erupting on the ocean they rip the night apart
Rails of lethal light, the shells collide
Men vaporized on impact
An era on the sea has ended
The overpowered Admiral Nishimura could not retreat
Down with his flagship dead in defeat
Burning outlines of their vessels
Oil and bodies filling the ocean
Fatal
Mission
To meet their honor in death
Roaring
Guns
Ships ignited in flames
Their war
Is over
Sinking to the ocean depths
Commanded
By Fate
Up the Surigao Straight

Perfect Aura
05:05
|
|||
To keep away all of the fear
All trust is born blind and fanaticism grows fast.
My eyes have seen the madness and the coming of our fall
Deception, deception, halleluiah! all truths are marching on.
Walking graves in lock step enamored with a persona
Death squad with a school yard crush
As Above As Below As Before As it Will
We cannot think when they speak
We don't want to ruin the dream
Emotion in a chokehold
Strike the doubt away kid
its time to "hope" again
National figure with a ringer
Surrounded with a perfect aura
Streaming live and worldwide
high definition interpretation
controlling the world with a face
neutralize your suspicion
between celebrity and reality
needing a mountain of salt
to believe it all again.
As Above As Below As Before As it Will
We hear what we want to hear
Emotion in a chokehold
Strike the doubt away kid
Its time to "hope" again
National figure with a ringer
Surrounded with a perfect aura
Living beyond all contempt
They rule with less
Screaming crowds and confetti clouds
full press obedience
on podiums and stages
nailing slogans to your mind
from political movements to product lines
As Above As Below As Before As it Will
Adonis, Venus
Put a spin on Narcissus
Emotion in a chokehold
Strike the doubt away kid
its time to "hope" again
National figure with a ringer
Surrounded with a perfect aura

The Only Secretion
05:37
|
|||
Psychoactive chemical, pervasive in nature
Dimethyltryptamine
South American origins
Indescribable visual hallucinations
The most potent psychedelic on earth
Frozen Mimosa Hostillis
Placed in a water vinegar solution
Mixed with Sodium Hydroxide
Conversion of the Alkaloids to salts
Filtered, measured then soluble
Signature of a synthetic smell
The edge of the human experience
End of time, end of space
The only secretion, removes reality
You cannot endure this
A yellow crystalline form
A homemade portal to see the immortal
Create the next evolution
Or a fool's illusion
Serve yourself to an unbelievable power
animated feelings of a spoken reality
senses placed in limbo
While you change impossibility
But it could all be simple insanity
Oral application
Enhanced by Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
Strong dose over 30 milligrams
Preceded by a 24 hour fast
Beware of volatile circumstance
Full intoxication
Effective in seconds with frightening strength
Physiological Russian roulette
The business mans trip
Spiritual or sacrificial
The edge of the human experience
End of time, end of space
The only secretion, removes reality
You cannot endure this
Drastic symptoms of the drug
Muscle spasms, psychotic upheaval
Full dilation of the pupils
Increase in blood pressure
Chance of madness to manifest
Believed to show the face of god
With neo chemical mechanisms
A dream of discarnate entities and creatures
Sacrament of the Santo Daime
Can be transformed into poison
The edge of the human experience
End of time, end of space
The only secretion, removes reality
You cannot endure this

To Die at the Wall
08:11
|
|||
Under cruel gods and frozen skies
Ancient terrors prepare to strike
Keeping our watch for the long night
Where malevolent winds blow
The truth is that winter has returned
While wars destroy the realm
Our massive barrier of blood and ice
Built to last for all time
Knights, heroes and lords
With no wives or lovers
Rapists, thieves and traitors
No longer who they were
Oaths taken before all gods
No crowns, titles or thrones
A solemn duty, defend the realm
Only in death may your watch end.
Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.
Our ranks have thinned, our task is great
But in this frozen waste we stand
Under the crumbling towers of castle black
Guarding the edge of our land
To our people our deaths be gifts
None will morn our lives
Tales we take to our forgotten graves
Where the stranger waits for us
Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.
Wilding raids and a turncoat king
Ungodly blizzards ripping our flesh
Elements that have killed before
Hopeless soldiers in an eternal war
Out beyond the reach of the seven
Evil rises once more
Ruthless and inhuman
The others, the while walkers
Frozen hearts and frozen disgrace
Riding in this snowbound waste
In a land of wild cries
Where no tale of joy may rise
3 blasts of the horn
Bloody fields and flashing blades
Arrows fly and men scream
Dead again by dragon glass and valerian steel
They from parts beyond us
The embers in their eyes
With the fires of seven hells
Glowing blades in cold grips
Dark omens arrive on dark wings
Under the snow old legends stir again
We wait for what trials the gods bring
The song of Ice and Fire plays on
From Eastwatch by the Sea
To the Shadow Tower
On the border of westeros
Nights Watch, Swords in the dark
Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.
