Blacken the stormy skies As the clouds form overhead No hope will remain Bringing forth the endless rain Rituals of ancient design Blacken the stormy skies Blacken the stormy skies The sky above grows dark The ceremony begins Reaching out Into the shadows Repelling light Suppressing joy And spreading terror Our victory burns Every flame Is extinguished Once and for all The twisting clouds Remain obscuring The vengeful sun As the clouds form overhead No life will sustain Casting down never-ending pain We heed the tempest's fury Blacken the stormy skies Blacken the stormy skies Blacken, blacken, blacken, blacken Blacken, blacken, blacken Blacken the stormy skies Blacken the stormy skies And the demons shall arise (Solo: Nick Stier)

Domain of the Great One 04:17
lyrics

Crawling through the streets We came upon a sprawling chasm Our senses overwhelmed We trudged along into the darkness Catacombs and formations Surrounded us upon descent A terrible grotto opened up And now we're trapped Consciousness slips away The being before us now awake Feels our pain, smells our fear It could tell that our end was near Domain of the Great One The beast above calls our names Domain of the Great One Finally driven insane “Now you mortal fools must heed And obey all of my commands Your mistakes in life have brought you here Until you breathe your last” Its voice echoes through the cavern Biting at our ears A hellish landscape surrounded us Our fate was now too clear A hellish screech The gate was locked Screams of pain Lives are lost A hellish screech The gate was locked Screams of pain Lives are lost Domain of the Great One The beast above calls our names Domain of the Great One Finally driven insane (Solo) Crawling from the depths We find at last a sunlit passage Our senses overwhelmed We grasp our way into the light Catacombs and formations Surrounded us upon ascent Grotto gone, escaped at last Finally free

Alchemy 03:53
lyrics

Once again We discover a life-changing secret As we cast down our eyes upon our teacher's demise Writings inscribed on the wall Guide us To do what must be done Evolution The grand design Perverting nature Scream out in pain as flesh is eaten, torn apart Slaves to the toxins that bind our shapes in one A new being formed, what have we done? What have we done? A twisted creation Our tortured mass contorts to our will As we take to the streets, on helpless people we feast Twisting Crawling Scraping Mauling Ripping Tearing Society Falling Scream out in pain as flesh is eaten, torn apart Slaves to the toxins that bind our shapes in one A new being formed, what have we done? What have we done? Scream out in pain as flesh is eaten, torn apart As our body mutates, our strength begins to rise A new creature now, what will they do? No one knew... "This just in; A large, unidentified creature has been spotted roaming downtown L.A. No one is exactly sure what this thing is, and though I haven't seen it myself, from what I've heard, it... it's killing everyone, and if I'm being completely honest, I don't know what's going to happen. It's just out of control, the streets are just in complete chaos..." Once the feast was finished We returned to the lab Nothing can remain So we hide the evidence and sink into the shadows

Checkmate 04:01
lyrics

(Shane) Watching you from a distance Seeing you squirm Hearing your cry for help You're kicked to the curb Lost now Your life has put you six feet down Helpless All you feel is pain all around Checkmate Checkmate Falling into the darkness Slowly cry for help (Dylan) The end is upon you You will not be saved As the dead lie in their caskets You're close to the grave (Shane) Spirit crushed, a scavenger Of other peoples' pain A deadbeat you have become It seems you've lost the game Checkmate Checkmate Accepting your grisly fate You realize it's not too late The horror that was your life Doesn't have to end in strife Now it's time to fess up And get off your lazy ass Now your mistakes in life Have all come to pass You must heed this warning And you know it to be true Turn your pathetic life around Or you're through Checkmate Checkmate Checkmate Checkmate

Sacrificial Dead 03:03
lyrics

Engorged bodies float lifelessly Along the River of Gore Twisted sacrificial offerings Deceased above to meet deceased below Perverse demise For the most heinous crime Necessary dread Sacrificial dead Your demise is coming soon Close your eyes and you are doomed The ultimate nightmare swimming in my head All my life has led up to this moment I cannot fathom what I see Corpses of countless people Slain for this ghastly ritual Your demise is coming soon Close your eyes and you are doomed The ultimate nightmare swimming in my head Sacrificial dead
