In the infinite depths of the long forgotten abyss of space
Lies a giant of destruction; a mouth with no face.
At the bottom he waits for the end of the world to arrive.
By the grace of his power, no one will be left alive.
And as we carry on with our goal-less lives
Our time reaches its fair end, cut by the dull knives
Of our blind devotion to the hollow prize
That taints our hearts; decomposes our eyes.
He awakens at last, preying on the souls of the weak of mind.
What he seeks in our earth he shall find.
And the frail will be consumed by the void of his eye!
The strong stand unfazed by the blackness of the sky.
And as we carry on with our goal-less lives
Our time reaches its fair end, cut by the dull knives
Of our blind devotion to the hollow prize
That taints our hearts; decomposes our eyes.
Devouring our land, the monster follows his unholy path.
Driven by the omnipotence of his endless wrath
And the end is now near for the hollows that refused to be free.
Death was their own choice, such is the sad reality.

Curse

I invoke the powers of the earth and the spirits of evil to assist me
In tonight's spiritual, dark ritual, so I can get my revenge
From the ones who betrayed me, but failed to make any harm.
They will pay for their intentions, and they will learn the price of failure.
My curse
Will fall upon you!
My curse!
In my hands your destiny is. I will make sure you go through hell!
Retribution, fair trade. It's time for you to give me your share.
Souls are aligned, the sacred rite is ready there's nowhere to hide.
You're now doomed, you can now cry. For your fate it's futile to fight.
My curse
Will fall upon you!
My curse!

Sin

The very first lie
That mankind once told:
"A god in the sky,
Great power to hold!"
Chosen for domination;
Elected to rule;
Sacred governed nation;
Divine tool!
Stupidity, monstrosity,
That brought mankind to it's knees.
Stupidity, the tragedy,
That won't allow us to be free.
In plastic faces
We saw perfection;
In barren places
Civilizations!
Modify for convenience;
Idolize pretenders;
Ignore sentience;
Silence offenders!
Stupidity, monstrosity,
That brought mankind to it's knees.
Stupidity, the tragedy,
That won't allow us to be free!
Following the herd
Down the abyss;
They repeat the same words:
Ignorance is bliss!
Contemplate illusion;
Ignore consequences;
Adore confusion;
Deny your senses!
Stupidity, monstrosity,
That brought mankind to it's knees.
Stupidity, the tragedy,
That won't allow us to be free.
Stupidity, regrettably,
Rule number one of society
Stupidity, with certainty,
Must be man’s biggest Sin.

Supernova

Once upon a Galactic Era,
When Stars had no planets to shine on,
There was a giant of fire;
Pale skin turned red as he grew more.
Its guts bloated with power:
Nuclear synthesis at its core.
Its flares bloomed like a flower,
Until it couldn't handle it anymore.
Its guts bloated with power:
Nuclear synthesis at its core.
Its flares bloomed like a flower,
Until it couldn't handle it anymore.
It exploded in a flash of stellar mass!
The nebula spread light years away!
Supernova, our death forecasts!
We feel its ripples still today...

We Are The Prophets

We are the prophets...
We're here to bring you a message of doom.
Take my promise...
We’re here to warn you of the danger that looms!
When you look upon yourself
Do you see the future of mankind itself?
When you look upon your soul
Do you see a feast for the black hole?
Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!
Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!
You are the prey
Of the wolves that lurk in the dark.
It’s time to pray...
Nothing but bait for a shark!
When you look upon yourself
Do you see the future of mankind itself?
When you look upon your soul
Do you see a feast for the black hole?
Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!
Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!
You see, my friend,
To avoid a death so absurd...
You’ll have to transcend:
Break your mind away from the herd!
When you look upon yourself
Do you see the future of mankind itself?
When you look upon your soul
Do you see a feast for the black hole?
Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!
Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls! Souls for the Black Hole!

The Crow
06:01

You flew like an angel
Dark Wings spread across
As the black sky fell
Today
Disembodied is your voice
Lost but not forgotten
All we hear is the noise
Today
We saw the crow
We saw the crow falling down.
We saw crow lose his crown.
The murder you created
In a world you hated
Continues to live on
Today
The music you left us
Spawned so much fuss
Until that dreaded day
Today.
We saw the crow
We saw the crow falling down
We saw crow lose his crown.
The legend of your dawn
Now that you’re gone
Will fly beyond
Today
And the new melody
That’ll carry your legacy
Shall be heard
Today
We saw the crow
We saw the crow falling down
We saw crow lose his crown.

Event Horizon
07:17
|
|

There is a place for those who easily cower;
Those who lack strength and power.
Just at the edge of the monstrous face
Lays a blade where everything is erased.
All your dreams, consumed!
Commune with the insides of your soul
If once again you seek to be whole.
Don’t let fear command your actions,
And beware of black hole distractions!
All your dreams consumed!
Beyond the Event Horizon!

Markarian Poitiers, France
"As the weak are devoured by his eye, the strong shall sit atop pillars of power. They gaze into the infinite darkness, lost
in its mystery, while all else is consumed."
- Prophet Zerhathos -
When the Prophet heard the great void awaken, he knew it was his duty to carry on the message of magnificent destruction. He called upon devils of sound and noise to assist him in this ultimate ritual.
