"For wide is the Gate and broad is the Road that leads to Destruction" Matthew 7:13-14
Thematic Lead: Martin Mendelssohn Sparvath
Building to Crisis; a Retreat is no Option The Plan of Aggression is doomed from its Birth True to my Oath, I fight to my last Breath Then you will know that I shall not return
Faces in Blood as the Tale is unfolded Surrender forbidden; last of my Fiend be killed The Noose is tightened, my Veins bleeding dry Oh, God of War; don't leave me here to die
Will you leave me to let me die on my own? Steal my Thunder and lead me into the Unknown
Left in the Lurch; the Tides are turning Temperature drops yet still I'm burning Disease and Despair; the Siege wearing on My noble Lord; tell me why was I born
Stripped of my Rank; I have failed to conquer The Kittle will close; increasing Signs of Danger Starvation begins to reap my Mind and Soul Failed to assert my vile Authority
Final Triumph, my finest Hour will come Aim to achieve Salvation from Above
Enduring the Death March The long Winter Wait Bombing the Wasteland Converted to Emptiness
Building a Firewall Intruders are drawing near Shelter behind the Faith In this eternal Tomb
Sectarian Violence Stemming from Ignorance Teachings of Wickedness In this immoral Pool
Controlling the Masses A System of Fear Dismissive of Evidence Taking on the infinite Regress
Lead Guitars: Martin Mendelssohn Sparvath
Full Retreat into the Depths of Hell Baptized in Blood, there is no Wishing Well National Mourning; waging War of Attrition Tattered Collection of walking living Dead
Shrunken Heads of the strangled Remains Disposal of Bodies; penetrating Reality Rain turns to Snow; I feel the final Blow No breaking out; I face eternal Cold
How can I be scared of this Moment of Death? Staring into the narrow Gates of Emptiness How can I be scared of this Moment of Death? When I am staring into the narrow Gates of Emptiness
