Return Of The Annunaki
05:45

May the wrath of the heart of my god be pacified!
May the god who is unknown to me be pacified!
The angry lord, hath looked upon me.
The wrathful god hath visited me
I've offended
my mighty gods
A transgression
against my gods I have unwittingly done.
The sin which I commit
I know not
0 Lord, my sins are many,
Ripped from time and
taken from space
brought from their realm
they ravage this place
Ancient magic, blood sacrifice
New world, new time
brought to blight
I am afflicted, I am overcome, I cannot look up.
The Annunaki Come
They hath become
angry with me,
and hath grievously
stricken me.
The unknown gods,
hath straitened me.
The gods hath brought
affliction to me.
Ripped from time and
taken from space
brought from their realm
they ravage this place
Ancient magic, blood sacrifice
New world, new time
brought to blight
I am afflicted, I am overcome, I cannot look up.
The Annunaki come
Minion you have failed
with one misspoken prayer
We'll devastate you here
We feast now on your fear
<Lead: K. Losinske, S. Delorey>
Unto my merciful
god I turn,
I make supplicant
Mankind is perverted
Of men who yet live,
who knows good from bad
Though sins I commit,
spare me in judgment
0 lord, do not cast
aside thy servant!
He's cast into the mire;
take his hand.
The sin which I have sinned,
turn to mercy!
Forgive my sins
I am afflicted, I am overcome, I cannot look up.
The Annunaki come
You have called our name
In blood you will pay
Your sin we take away
You have doomed this day

Unyielding Terror
04:35

Once proud men die
Annunaki came from on high
No freedom left
Our heritage a lie
only they remained
nature reformed in their name
The world went insane
til man's only claim was to
Un---yielding terror
Un--yielding terror
Un---yielding terror
Un--yielding terror
Before the arrival of the Black toxic sludge
there ruled the king, the priest, the sinner, and the judge
And all fought for righteousness, and all fought for a cause
But neither words nor deeds nor threats prepared them for the fall
From space came the conquerors, powerful and fierce
Casting spells so mighty, wracking people with disease
Burning by the millions, a thought beyond belief
As they toppled the king, the judge, the sinner, and the priest and left
Un---yielding terror
A cosmic error
Un--yielding terror
Lasting forever
A viscous looking sky, from which no rain will drop
The land breaks like brittle bones, splitting mountain tops
While people suffer in agony, they breathe the poison air
Wind whips the blood to fever, mind broken beyond repair
Their plan to live forever Using man as a power source
Spread corruption through simple discourse
Consuming our flesh to increase their force
marauding and rampaging and showing no remorse
Un---yielding terror
A cosmic error
Un--yielding terror
Lasting forever
Un---yielding terror
A cosmic error
Un--yielding terror
Lasting forever
Once proud men die
When gods come from the sky
No freedom left
Our heritage a lie
only they remained
nature reformed in their name
The world went insane
til man's only claim was to
A vision of a savior
Stronger than the grave
A Clouddweller of great power
The invaders screaming to be saved from
Unyielding terror
Terror forever
Unyielding terror
Terror forever

The Genetic Crucible
04:46
|
|

The world has been cleansed
We reign with fury
Keeping man alive
As an act of pity
The world is cleansed
Made into our own
But trapped in this tower
Essential power grown
To exist outside these walls
We need living vessels
Human stock inferior
We’ll tame genetic patterns
We’re generators of the genoform
Combine and rearrange
Reject the weakest
Feed them to the waste
Herd them by the hundreds
By force they’ll be led
Start with vivisection
Rip their skin to shreds
Discard useless muscles
Their bones and their hearts
Look deep to the lifespark
Tear their blood apart
Bodies melted down
Into slaves and beasts
We shall be reforged
Ecstatically we create
We’re generators of the genoform
Combine and rearrange
Reject the weakest
Feed them to the waste
THE BIRTH OF NEW HORROR
FOR OUR SINS WE COWER
Out of this labor must come the perfect form
The rest are dismantled, we feast on soul and bone
So many taken, no more to be seen
Madness drove us to seek this dream
Wandering masses, face to face
With strange discarded forms
Crying out from being born
<Lead: K. Losinske>
In the fires of ancient magic
Lit by the power of forces mechanic
<Lead: S. Delorey>
The essence of man becomes a pattern
To be constructed in modern formats
In the crucible, boiled in tears
Harvest of despair
Ground between gears
We…sense a tremor
A notion of might
Some strange new power
Born of genetic spite
Out of the muck and sludge
One still draws breath
A storm roils inside it
Drives it to the edge
Unto the sky it stares
As the darkness swells
It’s strange mind knows
In the clouds it must DWELLLL
IT MUST FALL

Ambivalent creation
Of a divine will
You are the servant of evil
Do not ignore your lust for power
Come now, join us in this slaughter
Defend us,
O creature, this foundling
Naked, thrashing and screaming
This being will guide us to our destiny
Sit upon the horizon
Function according to our design
Concealed thoughtlessness
Constrained callousness
Envision peace in this time
Through blood soaked eyes
Slave to be mastered
Power to be tapped
Grotesquely conjured of lies
Through blood soaked eyes
Our work, our goal
May be completed
We may break the walls
And leave here
If you can accept these curses
Ascend to your ancient timeless purpose
Discarded, desperate
Not one of us
A vile form that disgusts us
Desired only for its potential
Anything less demands we kill
Concealed thoughtlessness
Constrained callousness
Envision peace in this time
Through blood soaked eyes
Slave to be mastered
Power to be tapped
Grotesquely conjured of lies
Through blood soaked eyes
Celestial glory
For the taking
Unleash a storm
Of your making
It looks upon us
Twisted face and hateful scowl
Does it see itself in us
It reaches out as if to call
Aspects of man
In form and stance
Dare we approach
This mournful form
Should we destroy it
Is it one of our own?
Does it seek to learn, or only to grow
Forced evolution in a dripping maw
To be filled with recycled flesh
When there is nothing left, condemn it to death
Or put it to work
It moves mountains by force
through the air it can fly
It can touch the heart of lightning
Can nothing lead it to die?
It belongs in our order
It was only made
Knowledge distressing
Never-born will it believe
That the air is ruled by monsters
That scorch and break the sky
Who boil the sees to poison
Who gorge and bleed the ground
This creature is part of it
Both want it as theirs
Both sides seek dominion
Neither to repair
A greatness I feel inside myself
I could rule from a throne on high
Make the clouds my castle
power tempting, I can't deny
It is out empyrean quest
to make sense of dire chaos
Claim it now, before it's too late
Around your throat tightens
the grip of fate

The wild gives way
At the break of a new day
Stars themselves will change
Lighting the new familiar place
Born of deep darkness
and thrown to the blight
Your arrival has brought hope
To defeat the night
From my clutch, I grant that you exist
You are impossible, but here you are
I've suffered at their hands
so awaken, evolve, make a stand
Off all the voices you hear, I
need you to understand mine
Despite the storm, and in the din
There is precious little time
Unjust arrangements
Force beyond containment
Drags the sun awayyyy
Deranged skies lead and deceive
Time forces these grim destructive ways
They are all strangers to me now
All around infesting
All in the name of greed
They take away, destroy, and leave
The only suffering
Caused by demands for life
Abused and denounced
Left a cold and barren site
My mind, receives your signals
Of your present struggles
I cannot rectify,
My origins with my might
I know only pain
Creation wrought in
the depths of ancient power
constant desire
Contagious arrangements
Force beyond containment
Drags the sun awayyyy
Deranged skies lead and deceive
Time forces these grim destructive ways
<Lead: K.Losinske, S. Delorey, K. Losinske, S. Delorey>
Artificial form
and an inorganic soul
Reaching out,
The promise of growth
Do I acknowledge life?
It means nothing to me
As I hunger for the blight
it's presence torments me
Then embrace me, lonely child, and forget
your origins,
but believe that
from strange conditions
Good could finally come
I can temper all your fury
and show you such wonders
There is no greater prizeeeee
Than the balance of life
Part of you feels their need
For a hopeful consequence
To these lost days,
drenched in blood
And to restore the balance
Can you see, a glorious older time
Before the crawling beasts
until the space-born leach
baptized you in grime
The pain you feel is
only your nature becoming clear
Your rejection from the fold
Does not restrict you
So reach out with your mind
And the barrier you will find
Laden with absurd rewards
Igniting the fires
Of greed and dominance
not meant for such beings
The chance to redeem them
Perhaps to begin again
And that is my purpose
in guarding you now
Your are nourished, your strength is
keen, and your name they will call
How could I deny this right
crafted to destroy
And overcome this gnawing sensation
A hunger for war
To consume, and, expand
To conquer, and, demand
The tokens of a past age I could claim
Ship, shield, steeple built in my name
The labored scream calls to me
Arise!

Clouddweller

Whispers of a dream long past
When the terror ends at last
Risen like the sun
from darkness the hero comes
Born from the pit of the vile ancient minds
Experiment bred with genetics divine
Soul stitched together from slaves and from beasts
Bred to sustain their unending feast
The sky scorching gods, bringers of pain
Thirst quenched by blood and human remains
Earth cracking demons, takers of light
From some far off world, dressed in the night
The world has stopped, and the stars realigned
Send them away, the time has arrived
Fly to our aid, oh Champion most strong
Brings us together to sing forth the song
Of Clouddweller,
the god slayer
chosen by the cosmos to wield
the thunder
Standing warrior
full of grace
Most dismal of the reject race
And so it came to pass
The hero called to us
Stared them in the eye
Shouts raised to the sky
Child of the star kings, his is their might
Discovered power that burns his soul bright
Lighting he sends forth to seer their skin
Walls broken down, the endgame begins
Of Clouddweller,
the god slayer
chosen by the cosmos to wield
the thunder
Standing
warrior
full of grace
Most dismal of the reject race
A great many people
were killed with the breath
which screamed in rage
at their prospect of death
IT survived,
eschewing fate,
Turning in terror,
they make their escape
They see his likeness
in the depth of space
standing warrior
full of grace
Armed with ship,
shield, and face
he avenged the reject race
<Lead: S. Delorey, K. Losinske>

In emptiness there is warmth
Hovering above the cold
Ghosts of battle among the stars fall
Dimly reaching for me
A distant throne, calls my name
Destiny revealed
The powerful demons
My own creators
Crushed beneath my heel
And I see time as it was never
Meant to be seen
A lurking menace amongst the decay
Consumed, betrayed
They have doomed this day
Unwritten conquest
Terrible the cost
To return to former glory
Give back, all that was lost
Upon the raging hordes I see
Fault in deliverance
Repaid with violence
Conflicted
I SCREEEEAAMMMM
INTO THE DARKNESS
NO ONE HEARS THE CRY
THE ENDING OF THE DESOLATION
From my power will flourish new life
In my death the world must thrive
I am the champion born from chaos
Burdened with genetic promise
Called by forces cosmic
Too human, Too Godly
Crowned and killed from birth
Between lord and lamb I am torn
The seed in creation’s soil
Neither slave nor master
Neither king nor beast
Refuse to remain
No will to feast
Born to expand the power
Now I see, the darkness devour
The pattern broken
Grand plans burned away
Blood of slime
A star-forged crown, I claim it as mine
The world’s pain forces my hand
Denied above all
Forgotten and damned
The pulsing heart of true salvation
Suffers and bleeds
Overflowing with the glory
Thus will I end the story
What horror comes next
Will they evoke their own end
NOOOOOO
<Lead: K. Losinske>
THEY WILL NOT, NOR WILL I
ALLOW THE WOUND TO FLOW
Absorb what remains, of the black hopeless days
Remake the world of old
My sacrifice is to the earth
All along, my call from birth
Arise, I say to thee
Arise and thriiive
Arise, old place of life
A-rise, embrace new light
My heart is pacified
