Cenotaph

Cenotaph Alone you stand - The final parody Destined to silence - A memorial to mortality Carved in stone - A tribute to the dead For nameless victims - Whose litany is unread Never forgotten - Wars memory lingers on A dark reminder - To mankind's oblivion This solemn image - Constructed with resolution A monument - To wars terminal conclusion Cenotaph

You never thought life could come to this Man reborn to die upon the altar of war And now we stand, to face the truth This world now enslaved, bound by hate In fear of life, now that the mindless control As the flame of hope for mankind now burns away For now you stand alone to die Whilst visions of horror infest your mind Destructive - Man's lust for power Infinity - A lifetime of war Destroying your world, again and again Suffering in torment, through agonising pain Killing for pleasure, only the strong shall remain An arising slaughter, as hatred and terror now reigns Destructive - The world now ripped apart Infinity - A never ending fear

Look to the sky the time has come Stand and be brave you body feels numb Face the atrocity at what you have become Twisting your mind it's only just begun Fear of religion, war, insanity This decision - die for my deity Power to those who question destiny Man destroys untamed animosity Blood - the taste of death is sweet Death - my victory is complete Devour - your soul now we're as one Mercy - in this world I give you none I am the carrion lord Bow to me and give my praise Sacrifice the blood of a thousand souls Only then your life I will save You're my living warrior My strength shall be my revenge You shall have no remorse As you slay for my right To control the downfall of man Fear of religion, war, insanity This decision - die for my deity Power to those who question destiny Man destroys untamed animosity Blood - the taste of death is sweet Death - my victory is complete Devour - your soul now we're as one Mercy - in this world I give you none Only the insane have the strength to prosper And only those that prosper truly judge what is sane

Enter the realm of chaos, your nightmare has just begun You may wake up screaming, but there's no place left to run The ancient prophecy of dominant supremacy Find strength through your salvation, the need for domination Past life you deplore, present life abhor Future life is so unreal, intense despair now you feel Mutated creatures round you stare, at your limbs they all tear It's too late now to say a prayer, for your gods have no care Welcome incursions of chaos, you know you cannot resist To serve, worship, obey them - in the only way to exist Your foretold destiny of perpetual lunacy The final requisition is no longer your decision The obscure depravity blinds you, now you cannot see What they've made of your world as your blood is turning cold Now it's time to pay your price - the ultimate sacrifice Gasp at your final breath - cleansed now in your death Your death
