Discovery 08:12
Discovery Born in flames A truth encaved Has rendered wonder and provoked acclaim From underneath Risen up from the deep A towering mystery of disbelief I am intrigued In this discovery Breathing energy Bound internally Still and lifeless yet Seeping entropy Haunting mystery Alluring secrecy Keen obscurity Something alive in me (Alive inside) Voices calling from an ancient cave Darkness lit up from a primal flame I feel an essence pull me into the void I’ll follow cautiously, follow senses from my mind There’s something alive inside Breathing energy Bound internally Still and lifeless yet Seeping entropy Haunting mystery Alluring secrecy Keen obscurity Something alive in me (Alive inside) And with virgin eyes, I see triumphs risen from stone Did Foreign beings build temples to rest their souls? Intimidation hides buried deep in my bones Encrypting symbols we may not be here alone Deep inside this temple, we feel the cryptic pain of life, sealed away inside these ruins holding our souls to still burn as we wait to die Enter Follow Discover Unearth Deliver Inside I am alive Underneath this earth I hear them calling me They’re calling me to the depths There’s something there inside those walls There’s something breathing I can hear its call I need to know if we’re not alone I need to discover what’s underneath the stone

Monolith 07:49
Monolith Into the darkness of this cave, I go Onwards to glory, for a chance to prove my name Entering oblivion, welcomed by the obscure Voices calling from the depths an assertion of the dammed Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go To discover the unknown I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears And the ones that I hold dear Tauntingly the whispers echo on walls of stone Hauntingly the body will drift forward on its own Entering this underworld my composure slips away Somethings hiding in the depths waiting for its careless prey Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go To discover the unknown I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears And the ones that I hold dear I’m following onward and into the deep Something I thought my eyes wouldn’t see No one to hold, no one to relieve The fear in my heart I receive Awaken the malice from within An evil forged in vengeance A hatred sealed away by spiteful forces Mend severed nerves Of an ancient mind designed for chaos Restore the power to the kingdom of primordial gods Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go To discover the unknown I’m leaving behind all my doubts all my fears And the ones that I hold dear Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go Deeper and deeper in this temple I’ll go

The Deep 05:24
The Deep Entering in the deep I find myself in awe at what I see Treasure abundant A fortune that will favor every need I know it’s wrong but I see this vision in every dream Destiny beckons I hear it’s voice, I hear it calling me I’ll brush the cobwebs away Taking golden goblets from their place Right next to corpses That are rotting over growing colder This graveyard of souls haunts me I know my intrusion’s cursing me I feel a difference in the air There’s something pulling stronger, pulling me (Whispers beckon the minds of fools) Searching for treasure unfound (They’re lured by wealth to a fate so cruel) Destiny calling aloud (Into the deep of the monolith) Suspicion of deception The temptation overwhelms my sensibility Something doesn’t feel right in my bones I know because I feel it’s presence coming after me And in the cold air, I hear sounds like breathing Somethings coming from the cracks inside the walls I know it might just be my mind After all this time it was me who I heard calling me (Whispers beckon the minds of fools) Searching for treasure unfound (They’re lured by wealth to a fate so cruel) Destiny calling aloud (Into the deep of the monolith) In to the deep, I will go Searching for gold and treasure unfound Discovering tombs and graves of ancients As they guide the way, I’ll follow their maze In to the deep, I will go Searching for gold and treasure unfound Discovering tombs and graves of ancients As they guide the way, I’ll follow their maze Into the deep, I will go searching for gold Into the deep, I will go searching for gold Destiny beckons me Destiny beckons me

Darkness 05:45
Darkness I am lost in this world Lost in the heart lost in the deep lost in the dark Darkness covers all light Shrouded by fear veiled from inside, devoid of all life Into the air it fades away All of my hope, all of my sight All that was bright I am so empty, I suffer alone I’m losing my mind All on my own at the end of my rope Surrounded in shadows I’ll find a back home I am lost in this world Lost in the heart lost in the deep lost in the dark Darkness covers all light Shrouded by fear veiled from inside, devoid of all life Daybreak, inept of change Fades into night Colors, radiance, Fade from sight Daybreak, inept of change Fades into night Colors, radiance, Fade from sight

The Primordials' Gift: Under the final twilight's glow A new dawn A strain to wield a legacy A flight to the blue world Gifted with foresight and a soul Will they thrive or will they drown? Now that their seed has reached our shore We're not alone From Proxima To Sirius forge on A virgin sun So warm Under an alien starlight glow A new dawn So much of life to be consumed A hunger grows inside Staring into the future's eyes Will we lose control of earth? They will lead us to ruin Of our own home A hunger grows Their minds live as one This world is theirs To own To mold Follow Into darkness hold me now Follow Into darkness hold me now Follow Into darkness hold me now Follow (We raise the monolith We raise the monolith) From Proxima To Sirius forge on A virgin sun So warm A hunger grows Their minds live as one This world is theirs To own A hunger grows Their minds live as one This world is theirs To own To mold

Gaze 05:40
Gaze Your aura Speaks volumes. Your air is Impervious. My will to stay is torn by My past errors, My unfit nature. And I’ve been holding on to the Egotistic notions of my mind. Holding you back from the Things you are, the things that keep you alive. (Fatal compromise) And I would throw it all away (Righteous sacrifice) I can feel the harsh disdain When I look into your gaze Internally I hear you Your essence tantalizing My being, my existence feeds Your desire, your affection And I’ve been holding on to the Egotistic notions of my mind. Holding you back from the Things you are, the things that keep you alive. (Fatal compromise) And I would throw it all away (Righteous sacrifice) I can feel the harsh disdain When I look into your gaze Fear me For I have immortality Gaze into The eye inside Release the grip on your life You’re mine And I’ve been holding on to the Egotistic notions of my mind. Holding you back from the Things you are, the things that keep you alive. (Fatal compromise) And I would throw it all away (Righteous sacrifice) I can feel the harsh disdain When I look into your gaze

Wrath 06:21
Wrath Blood seeps Conjured by insolence Tears reign From decrepit minds Engaged in twisted ordinance I’ll break your will inside These walls Are tainted with darkness An essence kept concealed A fire forged from the heartless Will allow your fate to reveal I am I am your suffering I am I am eternity I am I am everything Bow down and face my wrath I am I am your suffering I am I am eternity I am I am your everything Bow down and face my wrath Enter your doom This place your coffin, your tomb Beckoned by those who’ve failed you Feel my anguish and Bask in my disdain I’ll show you agony I’ll show you true pain I am I am your suffering I am I am eternity I am I am everything Bow down and face my wrath I am I am your suffering I am I am eternity I am I am your everything Bow down and face my wrath *An evil force of malice has been awakened from within. This forged vengeance will fester on this earth. Hatred, sealed away, has been mended by feeble scum creating the unity of minds from what once was. Doom dawns on this planet, destroying the future of a tranquil world. Chaos is now rule. Hell has broken loose. The power may now be restored to the primal gods.* *We build the monolith* *I am I am your suffering I am I am eternity I am I am everything Bow down and face my* Enter your doom Escape your privilege Your womb of solace let hatred compel you Feel the fire, the cyclic hand of agony I’ll show your feeble nature I’ll be your hell’s creator Face my wrath Bow down and face my wrath Bow down and face my wrath *we build the monolith*

Escape from Hell Into the fire, You’re falling away from me. Embers transpire, Plunged far into the deep. I swear I’ll find you. I Won’t let you fade away. It may be what your due, But I can’t let you stay. I’ll save your soul. You are my home. I feel the skin on my bones, Corrode and wash away. Your energy like a light, Is worth enduring this pain. The reaper’s scythe is amok, An inferno burning the air. Feel the heat melting your mind, Gaze into Lucifer’s stare. I’ll save your soul. You are my home. You’re my only, Holding on to life, Unholy, Lonely, but still alive. We’ll escape. Leave this place. Run away. Into the fray. Enter into madness. Divert from this deceit. You are mine. Alive. Escape from the past. Block out all their lies. You are mine. Alive. This devil is hungry for your soul, And I won’t stop till I feed. I’ll fight till this place will eat us whole, To me you mean everything. We’ll escape. Leave this place. Run away. Into the fray.

Exiled 13:46
Exiled *Primordials* Enter the end of the world And welcome a prehistoric reign Ravage the offerings To engineer devastation Blood paints a fissured earth Concealing your egotistic existence I am the destroyer of worlds ** Bow down to your new god Your new god Feed your fear to gods immortal Release your soul to me Consume to your despair Feel my fire, taste the power as You claw away, only to delay Your fall into doom *Mayans* Evil surges from my hand Is it all too late, to seal away This essence of maleficence Pained regret fills my soul with the courage to fight for the life of all those that I’ve known Alone and left vacant At the edge of our time I stand reawakened With the light by my side I’ll seal away these vices in Immortal infamy Returned to hell from which they came Exiled from history For us to stay alive, They must die *Primordials* If a war is what you want Then a war is what you’ll get I will feast upon your flesh as this world turns into ashes Reign through the offerings The weakest links provide the best substance Wearing thin your new might will fall The gears of the war turn in favor of the vile The fear of spawn settles in with the bile *Mayans* I won’t lose it all away I’ll fight with all I have *Primordials* Your strength will dissipate *Mayans* Mortal rage flames inside my mind Fueled by a heart of fire *Primordials* Extinguished at my grasp *Mayans* I’ll seal away these vices in Immortal infamy (Immortal infamy) Returned to hell from which they came Exiled from history (Exiles from history) For us to stay alive, They must die *Primordials* Your ego deceives you You’re swallowed in pride You’ve won a battle But now you must Prepare for a war Kneel to the power before you Cede to the haunting doom Return to an old world To be enslaved by the gods *Mayans* Terror reigns This world is breaking apart A withered strain Is infecting the purest of heart I won’t let them fester These vices will heed my name Imprisoned for all time Sent back to Hell by my blade Taken by surprise only to be Dammed to endless time Weakened but alive to rot inside This prison for a mind The end of a kind A survival designed *Primordials* Enter hell Attempts to subdue extinction May suffice to pose a threat In spite of your greatest endeavor I will not leave this earth *Mayans* Seal them away Follow into the fray Break them and Cause them to leave this earth *Primordials* Awakened to be returned to dust The wrath of a god was not enough *Mayans* Enveloped in light This darkness will wither and die A protector of souls and mortality Will write a story of our victory Sealed away and locked up tight An eroding of their minds Our earth restored The ancient era has ended Saving the lives of us all We start anew This plague has ended We’re free from the wrath of a god Our earth restored Our beings mended By man and his will to survive We start anew
