Tracklist

1. Cosmic Chasm (Intro) – 01:40

2. Illusive Divinity – 04:09 >

[Verse 1]
Lords we call to thee
Praise beyond our rising sun
All from land to sea
Hail to thee Almighty Ones
Reign upon your throne
Under false salvation
Blind with faith we follow
To our own extermination

[Verse 2]
Lords not of this earth
We serve to you
Enslaved at birth
Deceive with honor and grace
True intentions to kill human race
Take hold our body and soul
For you ancient ones
All life forms controlled

[Chorus]
Sacrifice and decimate for pleasure
Mutilate and torture to an extreme measure

[Post-Chorus]
Illusive divinity

[Bridge]
Beings divine control the mind
Harvesters of all
Powerless we fall

[Verse 3]
Lords not of this earth
We serve to you
Enslaved at birth
Deceive with honor and grace
True intentions to kill human race
Take hold our body and soul
For you ancient ones
All life forms controlled
Fallen what have we become?
Illusive divinity, evolution undone

[Chorus]
Sacrifice and decimate for pleasure
Mutilate and torture to an extreme measure

3. Congregation of Flesh – 04:52 >

[Verse]
Dismember, devour, digest
I choke on my blood while they tear through my chest
Gnawing away at my limbs
Slowly they gorge on my flesh
My eyes, eaten one at a time
Reduced to a foul gruesome mess
Ravenous vermin infest
Consuming all, leaving nothing left

[Pre-Chorus]
Wretched they crawl
Diseased they maul
Wretched they crawl
Diseased they maul

[Chorus 1]
Ravenous
Muscles and veins torn far out of place
Ravenous
Numbers unknown consuming my face
Ravenous
My screams of pain call more to the feast
Ravenous
Malicious they congregate forming one beast

[Chorus 2]
Stench revealed from bowels exhumed
A nauseating wretched fume
Separating skull from brain
Scene of death without remains

[Guitar solo: Mike De La O]

[Verse]
Dismember, devour, digest
I choke on my blood while they tear through my chest
Gnawing away at my limbs
Slowly they gorge on my flesh
Endless feast, torn to pieces
Guts and blood, breathing decreases
Ravenous vermin infest
Consuming all, they leave nothing left

[Guitar solo: Chris Monroy]

[Pre-Chorus]
Wretched they crawl
Diseased they maul
Wretched they crawl
Diseased they maul

[Chorus 1]
Ravenous
Muscles and veins torn far out of place
Ravenous
Numbers unknown consuming my face
Ravenous
My screams of pain call more to the feast
Ravenous
Malicious they congregate forming one beast

[Bridge]
Congregration of flesh
Congregration of flesh

[Chorus 2]
Stench revealed from bowels exhumed
A nauseating wretched fume
Separating skull from brain
Scene of death without remains

4. Synthetic Impulse – 04:44 >

[Verse 1]
Hatred of ones self longing for death, a synthetic cure
Distort reality, visions unfold, pushed to insanity
Addiction contorting the mind
The injecting of impurity
Dormant awakening, bestial aggression
Macabre reality

[Verse 2]
Decrepit fiend, tap into vein
Feeling of pleasure
Dependent of chemical lust
Inject impurity
Social pariah, dwell in your filth
Scum of the earth, ghoulish reflection
Putrid and frail mortal resentment
Vile creation, mindless and weak
Toxic anatomy

[Chorus]
Drug-induced psychosis
Violent hallucinations
Rage filled shapeless voices
Paranoid destructive nature
Murderous reaction
Bloodlust chaotic butchery
Stab wounds fill their corpses
Irresistible compulsion to kill
Kill, kill, kill

[Verse 3]
Grim execution, carcass collector
Manic illusion, sever and torture
Chemical lust, inject impurity
Social pariah, dwell in your filth
Scum of the earth, ghoulish reflection
Putrid and frail mortal resentment
Vile creation, mindless and weak
Synthetic impulse, toxic anatomy

[Bridge]
Mental erosion, poisoned decay
Medicinal atrophy, drifting away
Revel in madness, dosage increased
Twisting the mind, fulfilling your need

Sociopathic
Multiple victims
Sublime catastrophe
Morbid existence
Drug fueled behavior
Atrocious killing spree

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Drug-induced psychosis
Violent hallucinations
Rage filled shapeless voices
Paranoid destructive nature
Murderous reaction
Bloodlust chaotic butchery
Stab wounds fill their corpses
Irresistible compulsion to kill
Kill

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Addiction contorting the mind
The injecting of impurity
Dormant awakening, bestial aggression
Macabre reality

5. Tombs of Chaos – 05:55 >

[Verse 1]
Consumed by mass hysteria
Chaos with no end in sight
Rage inducing depravity
Like a plague, ignorance infests
Desperation feeds their impulse
Of paranoia and disarray
Survival of the weakest
An epidemic of fear
Left to live in isolation
Sanity begins to fail
Claustrophobic lunacy
Shrieks of madness and misery
Devour all, leave none behind
Infect the frail and the youth
Knowing only destruction you feed
Annihilate the all we see

[Refrain]
Entombed in chaos
Entombed in chaos

[Verse 2]
Dismantled, chaos overrun
Paranoia of death has begun
Disease plagues all of population
Lose all breath, die of suffocation

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
The dying rot in isolation
Deprived of life, soon to waste away
There is no help or cure
Come to accept this is their fate
Devour all, leave none behind
Infect the frail and the youth
Knowing only destruction you feed
Annihilation of the weak

[Bridge]
Extinction
Resource drained
Depletion
Plagued by greed

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Desperation
Death toll raised
Cancellation
Of human race

[Guitar solo]

6. Enshrined in Agony – 01:55

7. Dissectasy – 04:23 >

[Verse 1]
Tossing and turning, devoid of sleep
The depths of my obsession finally breached
An urge to look within
To lacerate this mortal skin
Regression, an unstable mind
Obsession, takes form over time
Progression beyond insanity
Dissection becomes divinity
An urge to look within
To lacerate this mortal skin
Progression beyond insanity
Dissection becomes divinity

[Verse 2]
Grotesque examination
Catalog of entrails
Surgical abomination
Putrid discharge permeation
Grotesque examination
Catalog of entrails
Surgical abomination
Putrid discharge permeation

[Refrain]
Dissectasy
Dissectasy

[Verse 3]
Pinning back my flesh
Result of scalpel mutilation
Nerves and ligaments
Bliss beyond ejaculation
Pinning back my flesh
Result of scalpel mutilation
Nerves and ligaments
Bliss beyond ejaculation

[Refrain]
Dissectasy
Dissectasy

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge 1]
Pain so unbearable
Time left eroding thin
Insanity now incomparable
I must complete my anatomic list

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge 2]
Hemorrhage draining out
Reserving of my lifeblood
Frantic determination
Cause of death, exsanguination

[Verse 4]
Tossing and turning, devoid of sleep
The depths of my obsession finally breached
An urge to look within
To lacerate this mortal skin
Regression, an unstable mind
Obsession, takes form over time
Progression beyond insanity
Dissection becomes divinity

8. Torturous Ways to Obliteration – 04:33 >

[Verse 1]
Suffer, crimes of humanity
My body withered
Nothing left but insanity
My mind shattered
Must I endure this atrocity?
Tortured, dismembered
Nightmare made to reality
Relentlessly slaughtered

[Chorus 1]
Under ruler
Controlled numbers
Burn, burn
Desecrate my remains
Hundreds more led to flames
Dying light in their eyes
Forever heard are their cries

[Verse 2]
Countless more shall feel their rage
Tortured souls to rot encaged
Bloodlines cursed to inherit pain
Condemned for your family name

[Chorus 2]
Under ruler
Controlled numbers
Desecrate my remains
Hundreds more led to flames
Fill the room with fumes of dread
Closing in, I'll soon be dead
Take me now, free my soul
Fading out, embrace the cold

[Bridge]
Putrified corpses remain
Suicide, freed from their pain

[Bridge]
Putrified corpses remain
Suicide, freed from their pain
Purified, their one true goal
Genocide of families whole

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Suffer, crimes of humanity
My body withered
Nothing left but insanity
My mind shattered
Must I endure this atrocity?
Tortured, dismembered
Nightmare made to reality
Relentlessly slaughtered

[Chorus 2]
Under ruler
Controlled numbers
Desecrate my remains
Hundreds more led to flames
Fill the room with fumes of dread
Closing in, I'll soon be dead
Take me now, free my soul
Fading out, embrace the cold

9. Eternal Hatred – 06:02 >

[Verse 1]
I am empowered by your disdain
This path of lies you've chosen
Will consume your cowardice ways
Twisted is your mind
Believe the tales in which you preach
Hatred controls you
Your strongest trait is human leech

[Verse 2]
Below me
All you seek is the acceptance of the weak
Deceiving
Thriving off your delusional fantasy
Unworthy
The only threat you pose is upon yourself
Above all, I will remain
Your withered ego you shall retain

[Chorus]
And now your world is falling
Swallowed by your worthless ignorant ways
Through the looking glass, you see yourself astray
In eternal hatred you'll remain

[Verse 3]
Bow down and beg before me
Destroying all your worth
I've lost all sympathy
I feel nothing
No pain nor sorrow impeding me
Your lack of self-awareness
Fueled by your useless greed

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
As you fall, now a shell of ones self
(Eternal hatred)
I turn my back to thee
(Eternal hatred)
Deprived of the life you once possessed
(Eternal hatred)
Destroyed by your own greed

[Chorus]
And now your world is falling
Swallowed by your worthless ignorant ways
Through the looking glass, you see yourself astray
In eternal hatred you'll remain

[Outro]
I am empowered by your disdain
This path of lies you've chosen
Will consume your cowardice ways
You are nothing but a feeble mind of insecurities
Weakness betrays you, ignorant to your own hypocrisy

10. Unfurling the Casket – 05:09 >

[Verse 1]
Trapped in a stranglehold
So cold my desire, though forged in fire
Deprived of the cure, now seething
Consumed by a lust for flesh un-breathing
No longer can I hide my ways
Frantic compulsion has led me to stalking their graves
Too long has it haunted dreams
The pale of their face, the lack of their screams

[Chorus]
Expelling the soil that's kept me longing
A manic rush, a trembling state
As I see the moonlight grace her coffin
A strike from my axe, unfurling the casket
Unleashing a stench, vomit induced
I writhe in fierce satisfaction

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
My gaze fixed upon her
A withering corpse
Overrun by freezing sweat
Within, I must explore
So cold my desire though forged in fire
The pale of their face, the euphoria I chase

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Expelling the soil that's kept me longing
A manic rush, a trembling state
As I see the moonlight grace her coffin
A strike from my axe, unfurling the casket
Unleashing a stench, vomit induced
I writhe in fierce satisfaction
Forcing my entry, I feel alive
Though she's cold and empty
In agony enshrined

[Verse 3]
No longer can I hide my ways
Frantic compulsion has led me to stalking their graves
Too long has it haunted dreams
The pale of their face, the lack of their screams
It's only the start, I've yet to begin
Spreading my terror, perfecting my sin
Lewd degradation, post mortem copulation
Deflower their soul, necrophoria in control

11. Stench of Paradise Burning (Disincarnate cover) – 04:47 >

[Verse 1]
Horrid life of cruelty strips the soul away
Evil lies revealed, its presence undenied
Crumbling morality infects the swarming race
Flames of the unfettered, a fate beyond redemption

[Bridge]
Cleansing fire, all consuming
Idyllic dream, lost in chaos
Suffer

[Chorus 1]
Procession into darkness
Descent to degradation
Contemptuous of impurity
Inferno of extinction

[Chorus 2]
Drowning in a sea of fire
The rapture of cremation
Entranced by lucid visions
Of paradise in flames

[Verse 2]
Writhing pit of misery from which there's no escape
Doomed before inception to end in suffering
Groveling in decadence, in fear of retribution
Blackened corpse of paradise scorched and turned to ash

[Chorus 1]
Procession into darkness
Descent to degradation
Contemptuous of impurity
Inferno of extinction

[Bridge]
Cleansing fire, all consuming
Idyllic dream, lost in chaos

[Chorus 2]
Drowning in a sea of flame
The rapture of cremation
Only death remains
And the stench of paradise burning
