Tracklist

1. Letum – 01:01

2. Impending Peril – 06:34 >

Aeons ago, a shadow fell upon this planet Seemingly devoured by darkness Horror drifting aimlessly through time Gorging on everything on its path Someone or something has ceased to exist All memories of their existence erased forever Endless ravines engulfed shrieks That have no worldly likeness And realising the impending peril Tranquillity, is no more Neverending ceasely agony The forlorn past remains now as a blemish The infinite universe which now empties Purport and ends this disillusion of an eternity Exalted seperation from existence Unfathomable ceaseless orbic atrophy Standing in ave Beholding this sight of pure despondency This loathing creation Buried in a welter of its blood Imposed impurity... Granted death Commenced the longful passing Apprehension of what lies behond Ever since... Long lost and forgotten Aeons ago, a shadow fell Devoured by darkness Gorging its way thru time Endless ravines engulfing in shrieks No worldly likeness impending peril Someone or something has ceased to exist All memories of their existence, erased forever Tormented in the howling gorged below And embraced the silence that followed

3. Thrive in Upheaval – 03:54 >

Starving blades to cleave drain And penetrate the earthly womb Stride onwards to the deadness drum Reveal Unveil Arise Nothingness Thrive Thrive Thrive in upheaval It sweeps wide in turmoil Rapt in the unhollow grasp of Deaths trance Come forth exorbitant upheaval From fathomless depths unfolds Somber death Endless thriving death

4. Ocular Blackness – 04:43 >

The black day that's been promised Now takes its overwhelming ominous shape As the world are cloaked in shadows Like leeches it will now vacate Prefidious forsworn this former age There can be no other means to an end Visions above and beyond all earthly powers Lays the key for decimation to implent Commenced execution Impentation of death Cruelty crushed, slain Abject lifeless being Through these eyes - shallow emptiness, appears Through these eyes - change is to come Through these eyes - illusions implodes With ocular blackness may all hope be gone Extricated grandious iniquity Resonating ethereal lamentation A dimnished senescence Marks a preposterous damnation Through these eyes - shallow emptiness, appears Through these eyes - change is to come Through these eyes - illusions implodes With ocular blackness may all hope be gone As the world froze all stillness Vanished as it was never there The soothing feeling of empty hollowness As life goes blind to a vast of Nothingness

5. A Manifest of Trepidation – 05:12 >

Transcend into the hollow Were decadence reigns evermore Invidious gospel prays for sorrow A manifest of trepidation Stand exposed before blight Numb as perdition uncoil Ageless mouth craves blood forlorn Now unraveled, the ravenous thirst Upon dying eden Coarced to kneel before twilight Hymns from valleys of desolation Fallen ensemble cries their lament Uncelestial sword now forged To reign in misery evermore Charnel storm spread salvation A manifest of trepidation Embrace malicious blight As perdition uncoil Faceless jaws craves blood forlorn Ravenous thirst Upon dying eden Coarced to kneel before twilight Hymns from valleys of desolation Fallen ensemble cries their lament Ravenous thirst Ravenous thirst out from thy mist A breath of trance Now to bloom and to divulge Its blackened glance Ravenous thirst out from thy mist A breath of trance Now to bloom and Transcend into the hollow And reign in decadence Charnel storm spread salvation A manifest of trepidation Ravenous thirst

6. Dysfori – 02:06

7. Insidious Gyres – 05:11 >

Call of perpetual damnation Pandemonium awakened Its exorbitant hunger Reaps in the name of death A vicious temptation Drenched in savagery Voices from oblivion Awakes our lust for thee Into the void we swirl Upon shattering shadows The trembling madness Swallow us A vicious temptation Drenched in savagery Voices from oblivion Awakes our lust for thee Thy blackened stream So wanton, so fierce Lead us from this mortal soil Gnawing madness, trembling darkness Form insidious gyres Thy blackened stream Lead us from this mortal soil From shackles of flesh now free On feeble hopes and dreams it feed In wayward haze, heavens fall Voices of death, death, death Thy blackened stream So wanton, so fierce Lead us from this mortal soil Thy blackened stream So wanton, so fierce Lead us from this mortal soil From shackles of flesh now free On feeble hopes and dreams it feed In death Gnawing madness, trembling darkness Form insidious gyres

8. Livores – 06:06 >

A daunting dwell now erupted And throwned down by terror The prevailing darkness Blackened out every last hope Lost in the wheel of confusion A symptom of this falling universe The hands that have formed it Will now perish It unveils as it fades, livores Serenity, found on the otherside Obscurity, longed and ever sought for Look at those untamed features Shadows in abstract forms reviles Listen to what's being whispered to you You're only living on borrowed time From your fate Livores Transcending Let us slip into the oblivion that has Been denied us Let us slip in at last

9. Obitum – 01:11
