Vita Detestabilis

With waning desire
We’ve welcomed a liar
Stocked up the pyre
This empire of bones
Smell the smoke and follow the flame
Condemn the children that carry no name
One for all and all for none
Assets to extract
The favours have been stacked
Brace for the impact
Of impending doom
The palace crumbles in the shroud of a mist
Enter the shadows
Embrace the abyss
One for all and all for none
Greed, lust, selfish vice
Disgraceful excuse for life
Feed off of fear, it’s fight or flight
Drained by this bloodlined parasite
Stand as one or all shall fall
Bring death to all

Hangman's Marionette
04:37

What can you do when you’ve got no control?
Left you suspended, expected to crawl
The lawful defender’s thoughts free from remorse
Intentions become clear in all their due course
(Been proven wrong)
Been proven wrong
(Your time has come)
Your time has
Come to pay your fine
For you’ve crossed the line
Crushed by the hands of time
The hunt is over
No time for closure
The hangman’s marionette you are
Being torn apart from all that you’ve done
Left by the neck, you should’ve been hung
Yet you still play hero with no one the wiser
Shielding your shame, the mask of a liar
Your time has
Come to pay your fine
For you’ve crossed the line
Crushed by the hands of time
The hunt is over
No time for closure
The hangman’s marionette you are
Come to pay your fine
For you’ve crossed the line
Crushed by the hands of time
The hunt is over
No time for closure
The hangman’s marionette, you are
Hang ‘em
Hang ‘em
Come to pay your fine
For you’ve crossed the line
Crushed by the hands of time
The hunt is over
No time for closure
The hangman’s marionette you are
Come to pay your fine
For you’ve crossed the line
Crushed by the hands of time
The hunt is over
No time for closure
The hangman’s marionette, you are
Hang ‘em
Hang ‘em
HANG ‘EM!

Runaways
05:46

For what you’ve done there’s no resolution
Step down and accept your fate
Don’t you pull for fuckin’ sympathy
For what you’ve done, you’ll be found guilty
All the Lies will come back to you
Nowhere to hide, it’s time for the truth
The truth
Rot in jail for all that you’ve done
Cursed judgment, perverted lust
What kind of sick and twisted thought entered your mind that you could take advantage of their trust?
You're done
Put up you guard and try to
Run away
Just know you will be found, and if you
Choose to stay
You’ll be broken, beat and ground
If you just knew your place
There’d be no reason to fight
You’ll rue the day
Runaways
Run away
Just know you will be found, and if you
Choose to stay
You’ll be broken, beat and ground
If you just knew your place
There’d be no reason to fight
You’ll rue the day
Runaways
Runaways

Unceremonial Slaughter

Opened up, rebirth of the dead
Robbing flesh, thieving from the bled
A face to make my own
Laid to rest, my cemetery grows
Graft the skin and raise again the blade
Wasted beauty, decorum for a grave
Creating heinous imagery
House of horrors, murdered artistry
I will never let death keep us apart
I’ll take your cotton flesh and turn you to art
A wicked creature crawling under your skin
Now join me forever, you’ve drawn
Your last breath
Skeletons, from the closet to my walls
Human skulls, fashioned into service
Tombs grant no sanctity
Release the beast, necrophile running free
Inside my mind - not fine, not at peace
Corrupted dead insufficient for a showpiece
Autopsy of humanity
Only living flesh is fit for my display
Cannot be sated
Fulfill my fantasy
Can’t stop this savage craving
Until your life drains unto me
I will never let death keep us apart
I’ll take your rotten flesh and turn you to art
A wicked creature crawling under your skin
Now join me forever, you’ve drawn
Your last breath
Go
You’ve been chosen
For my killing
Mask of skin is
So inviting
Act of murder
Act of (pleasure)
Live forever
Inside your remains
EEYAAAAH!
Mummify, death eternalized
Psychopath born, grief redefined
We all go mad sometimes
Clawing closer to the ones long left behind
In silent sanctum
Create such masterpiece
Past immortalized
Macabre catastrophe
Cannot be sated
Fulfill my fantasy
Can’t stop this savage craving
Until your life drains unto me
I will never let death keep us apart
I’ll take your pulsing flesh and turn you to art
A wicked creature crawling under your skin
Want so now I kill
Become a part of me!
BECOMING ONE WITH ME
Become one

Greater Than God
05:45

Probably thought you’d get away
Thought you wouldn’t have to pay
The price for what you did today
You thought wrong
Had to have it your way
Don’t want no one else to play
Said that you could have it fixed
Thought that you could handle this
We don’t wanna do this shit
We know that you just don’t fit
So fuckin’ quit
Just a liar and a fake
And we’re getting sick of it
Bitch we don’t buy it
You think you’re greater than God?
I’d love to prove you wrong
You think you’re larger than life?
Well who gives you the right!
I’ll kick you off your throne
You’ve done this all you own
And when you’re dying alone (TELL ME)
Are you still greater than God?
Thought you had it figured out
Thought that you could cast us out
We’ve had enough of your plot
You’re just a harlot
Had to have your way with us
Playing like a succubus
Nothing left in you to trust
No point putting up a fuss
You can’t use us as a crutch
More worthless than kicked up dust
Traded love for lust
Filled with pain and agony
Try to let your demons be
It’s too late, can’t you see?
That you’re way too dead inside
No matter how hard you try
Nothing more will satisfy
Your lust for power
You try to be an immortal
But you’re too material
With little things like gems. And. Pearls.
You think you’re greater than God?
I’d love to prove you wrong
You think you’re larger than life?
Well who gives you the right!
I’ll kick you off your throne
You’ve done this all your own
And when you’re dying alone (TELL ME)
Are you still greater than God?
YOU THINK YOU’RE GREATER THAN GOD?
You think you’re larger than life?
Well who gives you the right!
I’ll kick you off your throne
You’ve done this all your own
And now you’re dying alone
Go and try to prove your worth
Placed high upon your perch
But you’ve got nothing left
You’ve failed your quest
There’s nothing more for you here
Go on and disappear
Alone in purgatory
The end of your story
Not just a man
Much, much greater than
You feel greater than God
