Infernal Ascent
03:07
|
|
||
Blackened night stretches out before me
Blistered feet and blackened hands reach for nothing
I gaze upon a dark forest and pass through the seven
My entry to hell, my pittance to the boatman
Now I am lost with no path to find
All future fades away as I reach toward the black
What lies ahead is more than death, but less than life
There will be no crusade for me,
No longer speak my name

Shores of Acheron
02:14
|
|
||
Board upon this ship to hell, a river to cleanse me of my sins
Charon shall carry my burden well, that which has been willed against
The line of souls stretches to eternity
Their faceless bodies purged of remorse
There is no time for that anymore
Cliffs ascend above me, with scaled eyes peering down
Dripping anticipation, longing to tear me apart
My sins are my own and soon I will pay
I depart from the shores of Acheron
There is no hope, it has been abandoned.

Hall of Kings
02:16
|
|
||
Pagans blood paints the walls
Their souls remain unclaimed
Frozen in time, an eternity unbound
There will be no reward for the pacifist
No salvation for those who dwell in purgatory
Not scholars or kings shall be divine
Pass through the seven gates before you
Look forward to the fledgling men who burn all the same
Say farewell to Saladin,
But do not embrace his crusade.
No pride in finding death
Nothing more fleeting than life

The Beasts
01:52
|
|
||
How much torment can I endure
My sins are paid for in suffering
The serpent and the worm
The beasts of hell who tarnish my flesh
A ceaseless storm of putrefaction
Fill his mouth with mud and trudge past the wind
Yet, I fell as a dead body falls
There is no end to this suffering
My mind is tired and my body is broken
But my journey it continues
|

Phlegethon
02:59
|
|
||
As my torments amassed, I could know no greater
Until I gazed upon the Phlegethon
It’s boiling blood crashed upon shores
The stench of tyrants flesh filled the air
Nessus has abandoned me.
The distant woods grow closer now Reveal the winged claw and beak
To rip the flesh where trees did speak
Broken and bleeding.
The shards will remain for eternity. Hatred has soaked the earth beneath the hanging dead.
Boiling overflow stains the sands and burns the sky.
Violence overcomes.

Traitors In Ice
03:06
|
|
||
Betrayal is found at the bottom
Fiery pits behind, absence of hope ahead
The remorseless dead are removed from the light
Nothing but heartless cowards in my gaze
Pathetic souls find there way here
The city of Dis has stricken thee
While the three faces look upon me.
His six wings cast shadow.
Gnashed teeth and hell below.
Eyes weep with blood.
Traitors reside in the mouth of the beast.
Grind and smash their bones do crack
Paying for their sins eternally.
