Overlord 1. Cenotaph Alone you stand - The final parody Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread Never Forgotten - War's memory lingers on A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion This solemn image - Constructed with resolution A monument - To war's terminal conclusion Cenotaph 2. Destructive Infinity You never thought life could come to this Man reborn to die upon the altar of war And now we stand, to face the truth This world now enslaved, bound by hate In fear of life now that the mindless control As the flame of hope for mankind now burns away For now you stand alone to die Whilst visions of horror infest your mind Destructive - Man's lust for power Infinity - A lifetime of war Destroying your world, again and again Suffering in torment, through agonizing pain Killing for pleasure, only the strong shall remain An arising slaughter, as hatred and terror now reigns Now reigns Destructive - The world ripped apart Infinity - A never ending fear 3. Prophet Of Hatred Restless sky the time has come Turn up your brain you body feels numb Messed(?) in uncerainty what you have become Twisting your mind it's only just begun .... Resistence... from fatality ...of your Destiny ... Lost... tasted sweet Terror my hatred is complete Devour, your soul now he has won ...begun ...you can... ... Sacrifice the blood of a thousands souls ...the life I will save As death shall be what remains You shall have my remorse ... To control the downfall of man ...insane ... ...what is saved 4. Realm Of Chaos Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination Past life you deplore, present life abhor Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel Mutated creatures round you stare, at your limbs they all tear It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist To serve, worship, obey them - in the only way to exist Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy The final requisition is no longer your decision The obscure deprivity blinds you, now you cannot see What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold Now it's time to pay your pirce - the ultimate sacrifice Gasp at your final breath - cleansed now in your death Your death 5. Spearhead Spearhead marching onwards, Take my soul sacrificial offering. Your initial strike taken by surprise, Now left alone, condemned by my pride, Drained of all emotion - body now an empty shell, There's nothing left - you've taken all away Adrenaline flows, Now filled with anger, Just what will be the outcome, Mass confusion tears my mind. Spearhead - No victory sublime, Another fallen victim - I will not beg to you, Spearhead - to which I cannot hold With clear perception my destiny unfolds. I look to the refection, fail to recognise what's seen A figure closed in hatred, I pray that this cannot be, Faced by this total stranger - aware of your creation No vision of the formed self - Controlled by your instruction, Onward you advance, left in a mindless trance, Hypnotised by your will, desire is now instilled, Now string face to face, your eyes failed with with hate, Held by your contempt, bought by weakness and by strength. 6. Crown Of Life Rising - From mundane existence A new world - Seen through your eyes To deception - Give no resistance All your hopes and dreams are now sanctified Blind to the hypocrisy Goodness is all that you see Your past life - Is cast aside In false truths - You now confide Pledged to a life of divinity Superior through your own piety Holier than thou - Alone you wear the crown In your private asylum Look to what you have become Condemned to misery and strive Alone you wear the crown of life The crown of life 7. Dying Creed Falling are the people of a decaying race, Now proclaim the legacy inherited too late - too late, Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance an greed, On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs. A path of self destruction they cannot see, Regarding their only interest in profitability - They cannot see, Open up your mind before its too late, Unlock the chains of confinement that we create. Grasping all that you can-overloaded capacity, Nothing can conceal instinctive rapacity. A movement to disaster could this be the final plan, Blinded by our avarice, the closing chapter, extinction of man. Mankind - The dying creed, Reared on ignorance an greed, On suffering we feed devouring all beyond our needs. 8. Lament The time has come to leave this place - Never to return Nothing's left but ashes - My body now is spurned Your sorrow will subside in time - My one, true, only friend There is one thing we can do - To avert this bitter end Up amongst the stars I dwell - Tranquillity is found I look upon the earth - To which all human life is bound Alone I wander aimlessly - For now my spirit's free My soul exists within you as I guide your destiny The tears of grief you weep for me - Through uncontrolled emotion You have given me your all - A life time of devotion So come my friend take my hand - Together we shall see The pathways through the darkness - For all eternity Eternity 9. World Eater As silence roars through gathered masses You stared waiting eagerly Approaching darkness decreasing your life expectancy The tension is now rising The calm before the storm See your life flash before you Will you live to see the dawn? The enemy is now approaching With bloodlust in their eyes Intense fear is overcoming For now death - you will defy As the battle raged all dead and wounded Bodies, carnage all you see The white hot blast - melting flesh The screaming pain in agony You stand alone The final parody As you realise - your mortality For you cannot change your destiny To die at the hands - of the unknown enemy Your death - you can't deter As the silence - returns World-eater 10. Overlord A time for peace, a time for war Time moving onwards forever more A time to live, a time to die Hypocrisy, now denied Life (?) Blood flows cold Contempt overruns the soul draining deep inside The litany abide Embraced by terror No place to hide Face the final judgement Compassion now slowly dies Stripped of all sanity Installed a new reality Overlord supremacy Vengeance now implied Embraced by terror No place to hide Face the final judgement Compassion now slowly dies Now free from strain Existence drains away Fallen as the rain To be lost in life's pain Now... Can comprehension fit in? You stretched beyond capacity(?) Vengeance shall be mine
