Lyrics:

We desecrate everything we love
Until the only word we know is lust
Despise, disguise my wretched lies
Of feeling I’m too young to die

Alone I’m told she’s watching me
Alone I’m cold – stop killing me
Her wretchedness, his holocaust
Won’t get back all the lives we fucking lost

Denied immortality
Thrown to the depths for his belief
Scars of an existence bringing heaven to her knees

Compelling creation without a cause
Crushing the altars of Gods

War God
My wretched disguise
War God
Athanasia denied

We are told to run and hide
Cut off my head to stay alive
Assuming my perfection 
May we die

Words as symbols are obsolete
Killing death in pure belief
Reflections of my ascendency

War God 
My wretched disguise
War God
Athanasia denied

Compelling creation without a cause
Crushing the altars of Gods

War God.

Lyrics:

*Intro by Mia Sawicki. Excerpt from Emerson's essay Experience*

No reality will recreate divinity
Faced with the consequences for
Every night that I have sang
My odes to wonder
Where time capsizes
In fear we wander
In flames

A war is coming home
All the world a horror show
Destiny you’re dead to me
Such prophetic poetry

Die
With nothing in your hands
Open the box of regret
As we ascend
Towards nothing
Marked by our Gods
For a trivial destiny

Feast your eyes upon this creature’s face
Oh the horror, the humanity!

Watch it perform 
“Do you like the way I sing?”
Oh it’s lovely my dear, could you please die for me?

I am desire full of disease
I am a liar if you believe
Drowning in water of conformity
But I’ll make you martyr 
So you’ll love me anyway

Die
With nothing in your hands
But your tragic box
Full of regret
As we ascend
Towards nothing
Marked by our Gods
For our fate

Die
With your own blood on your hands
And your destiny written in sand
As we ascend
Towards nothing
Marked by our Gods
For a trivial destiny




Trivial Destiny

Lyrics: 

I am cold 
There's no place for me to go
Then angels come to drag me out of the shade 
But when I die
This deed will not survive
If not for you where would I be today?

I’ve become
Death and time are one
Burn my body but speak my name not 
Could I be, seduced by apathy?
No! - Tell me I’m a king
Tell me I’m a God...

The sands of time are calling me 
Bring it on death
You can't stop me

The essence of divinity
dying right in front of me
My muses commit suicide -
Tell me what it’s like to die
I have a mind of hate
Don’t say it again that you love me
Your tears of love cannot put out 
this fire that rages in my heart

With all that I live for,
And all that I despise
I can't see you anymore
Through my ever-darkening eyes

The sands of time are calling me 
Bring it on death,
You can't stop me
My soul is ever darkening
But my heart pounds with hate

Ever Darkening (2016)

Lyrics:

Oh child look upon me
with precious eyes filled with tears.
This is the path of fire.
Wait and see for many years; 

You are an animal,
bred for war without a heart.

I am the tragic, pathetic
sculptor of an evil art.

So unleash your demons,
your muses - they sing:
"Kill the child,
Kill the king"

Kill the boy
Kill the...

Rage, Goddess, may muses bring
pieces of your charred remains.
I fear the end of things,
I lust for immortality.

You always needed me 
to be a tragedy
as if you never knew
that I’m an emperor
with leather wings
cursed to rule the world.

So become an animal
of wisdom from hell.
Kill your God,
Kill your Self

Kill the boy
Kill the boy

So make no apology
for that which you were born to be.
Let your conscience be destroyed.

So unleash your demons,
your muses - they sing:
"You’re alone in this world 
so be a fucking king"

Kill the boy
Kill the boy


Thanks for listening :)
