The end of days A horn sounds Blood is running on the wind On a hill my Master stands Terminal destruction In His hands, the world falls down Scarlet beasts drop to their knees The slender Ibis bends her head As He snaps her neck In the Abyss, into the Non Where everything and nothing exists Shades await birth or consumption Standing baffled, the penitent cry While the unrepentant take up swords While over all, He prevails Here I stand Gore-clothed and grinning wide My fists are clenched with the lust for annihilation When I sprang from the forehead of your whimpering god The earth did crack and seas did run with blood In the Abyss, into the Non Where everything and nothing exists Shades await birth or consumption Standing baffled, the penitent cry While the unrepentant take up swords Over all, He prevails Stand! Extrinsic Pathway Shed! Extrinsic Pathway

Antithetical 03:58
Oh Samael, Take me into your fire, Burn me with your elemental gaze Evaporate my wickedness, Consume my ragged soul Lion-headed snake of a thousand fangs Clutching the scaled and slippery mane Suppurate blindly in lust Every inch a gleaming, staring eye As sky becomes the underworld While inside is turned into out Through deification, I seek the lie Come to me, Samael Bringer of death antithetical Come to me, Samael Destroyer of worlds Come to me! Samael Oh multiwinged Metatron the sage Warns of horrors now found striding forth On eye bound feet, but seeing none The blind god is on the rampage This manifestation of a deformed birth The King of the Watchers steps aside From this visage perverse and befouled Collecting the souls of all the tempted dead I see his light, desynthesis Rotting me from the within Awaiting rebirth with festering monstrous dread Come to me, Samael Bringer of death antithetical Come to me, Samael Destroyer of worlds Come to me! Samael Holy god antithetical Come to me! Antithetical

In the snowfield, blind from the white The breath of the prey is a cloud Of smooth mist vapor and shambling gait Observed from beneath a cold shroud Still is the terror that lies in the ice Of muscle, of brass and of bone Awaiting the moment of absolute calm His focus, the quarry, alone All fear the White Death! The last moments, dead in the sights The prey turns his face to the sky Sensing the danger, but blind to it all A shot between heartbeats as time freezes still Then he dies... All fear the White Death Certain as the winter’s breath

Desperation, suffocating breeze Withered grasses of mechanical disease One hundred thousand soldiers choking on their tongues Convulsing end of horror worse than from the guns Ferrous germination Iron seeds of death Unseen creeping promise War’s tortured breath Four generations later, rotting in the ground The woods of Belgium, an unholy burial mound Chlorine and phosphate and the cloying Yperite Till your fields in a game of dark roulette Hellbound harvest Unwanted fear If silence is golden The rainbow ends here Twisted bodies Blue and dead Foul gaseous ravage The streams run red Hidden in beauty The cancer grows Autumn revealing The choking grove
6.
Oh the pain, it boils Burning in my brain The weight, it pulls Drags me down again Your faith, I see Is only made of lies Which do not matter to me I am the All Black unholy brand Your flesh, so weak Victorious we stand The price I pay To live within this Death So take me down to your grave Through this surge Slickened by your tears We break the backs Consummate your fears Above, below Deep within your heart We chew like rats to the core Expose, unlight Haemorrhaging wounds The End is near Celebrate the doom Kneeling beneath the ebon headed goat Anoint me in blood and bile Grave of Lies
7.
I sense a timeless pain Where every greeting is a death The slow panic of ticking clocks Thy eyes, dark with fire What are the mysteries of thy mind Drifting aimless between the dunes My demons hide in the sand Yet on my breast I wear them proud I know of no other way Creeping horror too great to bear I see thy shades, they speak to mine Brother Chemosh, enlighten me Ah these scars They are my god So at last we are constrained To struggle madly against the odds Our burning darkness the only light So I stand in the stinging wind The gates before me, an open maw Brother Chemosh, enlighten me
