Feeding Fear 08:45
Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light I’m feeding fear, Now I’ve become Father of Sorrows, a man undone I’m feeding fear Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light In your dark eyes, I see my doom Ghosts of a loss yet to come Haunt your empty room This poison world brings death, swift and relentless No mercy for the young and innocent, swift and relentless No mercy for my love I’m feeding fear… Father of Sorrows This poison world… No mercy Anointed by the tears, trembling and helpless No release from the curse, a lifetime uncertain, trembling and helpless No release from this curse Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light

Damned to the darkness, Shunned and abhorred I’m only what you made me Less a man than a monster, a creature obscene I’m only what you made me I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your gods at your feet Lead you into darkness, Make you like me Are you a man or a monster? I thought you were God Cruel and crippled god that made me I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your love at your feet Leave you in the darkness, Make you like me Through stained glass eyes, what can you see? Your holy lies won’t set you free To the ends of the earth To the very edge of time Standing at the mouth of hell You’ll regret the day you made me Standing at the mouth of hell You’ll regret the day you made me More a god than a man, More monster than god I’m more than what you made me I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your life at your feet Bury you in darkness, Make you like me

Rise, children of the eldritch dawn to a world that's nearly ended cast down your eyes and pray To the lost gods of your doom The depravity tugs at your sanity Tendrils of madness twist around your mind Still you search inside false lights for answer Never realize you’re calling to the void And it’s pulling you in... Apathy belies anxiety The unnamed fear that isolates your heart Still you search for prophets to lead you Never realize you’re calling to the void And it’s pulling you in... In the dizzying darkness of a slow descent You watch the chaos that swirls all around you Insular and isolated You sink deeper into your own... Fall, children of the eldritch dawn For your pain is nearly ended Cast down your eyes and see You’ve created your own doom Cast down your eyes and see You’ve created your own doom

Unheard 04:28
I am destruction The fire ever burning Direct instruction A lesson that needs learning Hear me now... Melt down the monolith Recast it in my shape The dirty thing you hid The bastard born of hate Hear me now... Hide your eyes and clutch your pearls—this is your Screaming child, shitting and squirming while you hide... Your ears can be deaf no longer This hate that you birthed has come home The sound of anguish grows louder This truth you’ve always known: I am the past and the future Your kingdom laid to waste Caged and in darkness no longer Unholy shrines defaced Give the future to chaos Your rule has led to this Give the future to chaos Your rule has led to... This final movement: Death throes of dying worlds I march with violent intent To raise the voice unheard To raise the voice unheard Give the future to chaos I march with violent intent Give the future to chaos Death throes of dying worlds Give the future to chaos To raise the voice unheard Give the future to chaos

“Rein in the dogs, sound the horn to call the hunters home Before the dusk turns to dark on the Mountain of Souls.” “Our dogs are bred for the hunt, and our horses are swift as light. We need have no fear of the dark, or the beasts of the night.” “It’s not the wolves that we fear, boy, for this is the Night of All Souls, And soon, when vespers begin, the Templars’ bell will toll. Haunted, these ruins will come alive tonight.” “Love, I know you must leave here. I would not make you stay, But give a poor boy a token to remember you for all days.” “There, upon the mountain, I left this gift I would give. If you desire remembrance, this scarf you shall retrieve.” “My love, I fear no tales. I will return ere long.” Midnight passes. Bells toll. Doors close. Footsteps echo closer. The morning will bring daylight again, But will everything be all right again? This mountain belongs to Knights Templar They’ll cede it not even in death On the Night of All Souls they rise The Blind Dead, sworn to protect… In the morning, her cold body found, Eyes bulging, lips a frozen scream, Dead from the horror, still clutching bloody shawl, Proof that this nightmare, this nightmare was no dream This nightmare… This nightmare was no dream… Knights Templar Arise…
