Aftermath of Disease Dismantle the laws of humanity Dissipating the hope of a future for man The vitality of life quivers in a distance While an affliction overcomes the nucleus Of a dilapidated empire from the past A memory of existence animates the dying mind The ensuing time ahead is not promised to anyone Take what they want from it and use it to prevail Beyond a recollection of any maladies The mind will collapse And eventually time will lapse A memory of existence animates the dying mind The ensuing time ahead is not promised to anyone The shades of time are all but a memory We only live life once But we still take things for granted The aftermath of disease Compels and surrounds me Always suffocating Drowning in misery Daybreak until nightfall I wonder where life's gone Don't need a shot of heroin to kill disease Don't need a shot of turpentine to bring me to my knees Sometimes immunity is the best medicine of all Always in my heart I surely do feel the tight squeeze Help me to remember what I forget every day Daybreak until nightfall I wonder where life's gone Don't need a shot of heroin to kill disease Don't need a shot of turpentine to bring me to my knees Sometimes immunity is the best medicine of all Always in my heart I surely do feel the tight squeeze Help me to remember what I forget every day The aftermath of disease Compels and surrounds me Always suffocating Drowning in misery The aftermath of disease Compels and surrounds me Always suffocating Drowning in misery

Pestilence of Carnage An epidemic plague enslaves the land Feeble organs are in our hands Nuclear winds forever blowing Dead men to the graveyard going Doctors raving and disputing Doctors raving and disputing Death's pale army still recruiting A sacrifice Of those that are meaningless in the void A sacrifice A cleansing of the useless in the void Nature's poisons here collected Water earth and air infected The plague of the city has been erected This last pandemic was supposed to kill The world would heal if man would only fall This last pandemic was supposed to kill The world would heal if man would only fall A sacrifice Of those that are meaningless in the void A sacrifice A cleansing of the useless in the void Whatever nature throws at us We'll try to do the fucking same The sodomy of all mankind In the making of our eyes Death It is disgusting but we've done it to ourselves The premonition of insanity Doesn't matter because we will go Into the depths of oblivion Whatever nature throws at us We'll try to do the fucking same The sodomy of all mankind In the making of our eyes Whatever nature throws at us We'll try to do the fucking same The sodomy of all mankind In the making of our eyes A depression of all mankind An opression of all the meaningless

Immolation 03:55
Immolation In the shadows of the dark I see a thick haze In the shadows of the night of these memories Are questions of a life These are reasons to hold on In the dark she dances A symbol of perfection I saw the meaning of a change In the light of the moon and earth Was turning in the field of memories Bury me high onto the gallows In a land between the waves Every day you fought the pain once more You tried again but after time it dragged you down Darkness was all around the storm will always pass It won't last forever In the dark she dances A symbol of perfection An angel of disease she always took us there As we followed blindly into the depths of sickness We never knew the way out And this hell the fire that grew between the eyes The depression that loomed between A fascination of the unknown time ahead In the light of a pale blue sky of the moon and earth Was turning in the field of memories Bury me high onto the gallows In a land between the waves Every day you fought the pain once more You tried again but after time it dragged you down Darkness was all around the storm will always pass It won't last forever In the dark she dances A symbol of perfection An angel of disease she always took us there In the dark she dances A symbol of perfection An angel of disease she always took us there

Virulent 04:13
Virulent It can kill this feeling beneath your soul When you've paid your dues It's still death by toll Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep I am the thousand winds that blow I am the glint in the snow Death be not proud Even if you have been called upon Reaper stand clear on this day Embodiment has not called The plague of existence shall continue on this day The crimson sky has fallen on this pale horizon Casting a shadow to the rapture beneath Encasing the ashes of a fallen kingdom Communion with her visible forms she speaks with This one belongs on the list of her own beautiful merits Her sins cannot be erased Sometimes it's death by toll And you have no say in that But if you try to go to hell and back Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep I am the thousand winds that blow I am the glint in the snow Death be not proud Even if you have been called upon Encasing the ashes of a fallen kingdom Communion with her visible forms she speaks with This one belongs on the list of her own beautiful merits Her sins cannot be erased Sometimes it's death by toll And you have no say in that But if you try to go to hell and back To hell and back

Scorched Earth I visualize a silent scream in which the mind will ride Coming from your soul a scream of malice and terror Darkness often speaks what this earth cannot fathom Jaded measures fueled by this desire Comprehension of these things is beyond the mental grasp of most I ingest your screams as if they are my only nourishment Keep screaming and feed the part of me that starves This military strategy that only aims to destroy Anything that might be useful to the enemy serves no benefit Cursed we are in the dying of this light That burns beneath the eyes A salvation encased between the ashes A malocchio that devastates the mind Cursed we are in the dying of this light That burns beneath the eyes A salvation encased between the ashes A malocchio that devastates the mind This lovely color of life will be no longer If we continue this insanity But it doesn't matter what us peasants do This earth will take it's fucking course With no remorse Don't try to provoke just realize death is salvation They don't care that what's happening serves no purpose Except to fulfill their own greed This lovely color of life will be no longer If we continue this insanity But it doesn't matter what us peasants do This earth will take it's fucking course With no remorse Cursed we are in the dying of this light That burns beneath the eyes A salvation encased between the ashes A malocchio that devastates the mind Cursed we are in the dying of this light That burns beneath the eyes A salvation encased between the ashes A malocchio that devastates the mind Don't try to provoke just realize death is salvation They don't care that what's happening serves no purpose Except to fulfill their own greed With no remorse
