Μνημοσύνης καὶ Ζηνὸς ἐριγδούποιο θύγατρες, Μοῦσαι Πιερίδες μεγαλώνυμοι, ἀγλαόφημοι, θνητοῖς, οἷς κε παρῆτε, ποθεινόταται, πολύμορφοι, πάσης παιδείης ἀρετὴν γεννῶσαι ἄμεμπτον· θρέπτειραι ψυχῆς, διανοίας ὀρθοδότειραι, καὶ νόου εὐδυνάτοιο καθηγήτειραι ἄνασσαι, αἳ τελετὰς θνητοῖς ἀνεδείξατε μυστιπολεύτους, Κλειώ τ’, Εὐτέρπη τε, Θάλειά τε, Μελπομένη τε, Τερψιχόρη τ’, Ἐρατώ τε, Πολύμνιά τ’, Οὐρανίη τε, Καλλιόπῃ σὺν μητρὶ, μάλ’ εὐδύνάτοι θεαὶ ἁγναί. ἀλλὰ μόλοιτε, θεαί, μύσταις, πολυποίκιλοι, ἁγναί, εὔκλειαν ζῆλόν τ’ ἐρατὸν πολύυμνον ἄγουσαι.
2.	Humwawa Of The South Winds 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Creature of darkness, by the works of darkness! Creature of hatred, by the words of hatred! Creature of the wastes, by the rites of the waste! Creature of pain, by the words and rites of pain! Thine corpse shall arise When Tiamat rests not When mighty Kutulu shakes beneath the earth When the great bear hangs And Enki is afraid Through the thickest of doors like a snake thou slide Great Ancient One, through the bolts like winds thou blow Lord of all things dead, thou art the burning pain That presseth itself on the back of all men As all things come to the time of their decay Thy features are a mass of entrails of men Just a gaze into thy face shows the future The future of all that goes upon the earth Creature of darkness, by the works of darkness! Creature of hatred, by the words of hatred! Creature of the wastes, by the rites of the waste! Creature of pain, by the words and rites of pain! Thy horrid perfume is the odour of death A warning of the doom to come: thy presence Leap forth unto this world O evil demon Evil god, evil genius, evil devil Lord of abominations, great Humwawa of the South Winds Dark angel of all that is excreted and of all that sours Cause the dead to rise and devour the living May they outnumber the ones of this world Creature of darkness, by the works of darkness! Creature of hatred, by the words of hatred! Creature of the wastes, by the rites of the waste! Creature of pain, by the words and rites of pain! Creature of evil, by the works of evil! Creature of misery, by the words of misery! Creature of blasphemy, by the rites of blasphemy! Creature of sin, by the words and rites of sin!

Illi spectri nequeunt, at illi sunt vivi Illi sentiri nequeunt, at illi profundo scindunt Illi audiri nequeunt, at illi feroce fremunt Illi intellegi nequeunt, at illi sublime vagantur Illi intra ardent et audientur Illi sunt unus, illi sunt omnis Illi sunt Discordia, illi sunt Vastatio Illi sunt Dementia, illi sunt Veritas Illi sunt impigri, illi sunt perpetuus Illi sunt vacuitas, illi sunt pleni Befouling shrieks are heard in the wind Befouling shrieks behind the shrines of woe Befouling shrieks and tears of Themis Befouling shrieks of what's to come They dwell in broken customs and words forgotten Within the hidden claws and weeping flames They shall burn beneath the skin for all to kneel For they cannot be moulded or changed The end of times is nigh For the befouling shrieks roar strong And once they are heard Triumph and loss shall be the same They dwell in the depths of the mind Within antimony and a million blinded thoughts They shall crush all life for centuries to come For they cannot be moulded or changed
4.	Eternally Incarnate 08:42	lyrics	buy track
Έγώ άθάνατος βίου πῦροις εἰμί Έγώ πᾶς εἰμί καί μονός βαίνω Once again I ascend as a blind eidolon Beyond a shapeless void where none dwell Crafting beyond the grasp of knowledge A voiceless cry finds its voice A repressed might finds its vessel A blackened figure finds its light I shall forge my skin from crystal horror I shall forge my heart from bleeding dread I shall forge my eyes from shrouded fear And I shall forge my sins from blighted angst An ouroboric cycle once again complete The paradigm of life as shown once more A new beginning towards the same end And when I die again I shall return I am eternal in thy mind For I rule thy every thought I am eternal in thy soul For I rule the shadows of thy self I am eternal in thy world For all thou gaze upon is I I am eternal in thy flesh For I am eternally incarnate in mortality Έγώ άθάνατος βίου πῦροις εἰμί Έγώ πᾶς εἰμί καί μονός βαίνω
5.	The Fathomless Dusk 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Inter frustrationis fluentes fluvios Supra venti involutos susurros Intra ipsius vitae sanguinem mittentem cor Ad mentis ululantem nihil A darkness that shrouds all beauty Marches restless to the very essence of one Deafening everything it touches Until dusk befalls the whole world The befoulment of all creation The weaver of blindness A shapeless, ruthless fog Enthroned at the end of time Is advesperacit qui comprehendi non potest Erit omnis quod nos convertebamus Cum dii occidant et triumphans chaos regnet Nam ego sum ipsius vitae advesperacit qui comprehendi non potest Et Discordia est meus nomen I am the befoulment of all creation The weaver of blindness The shapeless, ruthless fog enthroned at the end of time Et Peccatum est meus nomen

Lucifuge Rofocale! Furvi sideris filie Tricorne diabolice dynaste Satharielis grandis gubernator Lucifuge, Saturnius domine! Historia te non memoras Enim digna tui imperii non est Solum tuum imperium timet Lucifuge Rofocale! Furvi sideris filie Tricorne diabolice dynaste Satharielis grandis gubernator Da omnem mihi quod cupiam Nam hoc officium est quod te iubeam Lucis portatoris tenebrose gemine Tuum imperio aveo De undecim archi-demonie obscurissime Temporis abscondite Lucis portatoris obscure gemine Lucifuge Rofocale! Furvi sideris filie Tricorne diabolice dynaste Satharielis grandis gubernator Lucifuge Rofocale! Nigrae stellae filie Tricorne diabolice dynaste Satharielis grandis gubernator Nigrum tus, imple aera, imple meum cor Procul fer me, ad inanitatem, ad profunda Ultra hoc mundum, harum debilium mentium Infra fer me, ad Inferos, ad voraginem Nam in Inferis nostra natio est una in odio et in lascivia Itaque ementiti dei lux nos hic non consequetur Lucifuge Rofocale! Furvi sideris filie Tricorne diabolice dynaste Satharielis grandis gubernator Tua facta ab humanitate non narrantia sunt Itaque verum imperium et regnum nota ab nobis mortalibus non egent esse
7.	A Sisyphean Task 05:06	lyrics	buy track
No hope is left for the ones who die And yet they keep on fighting Until the serpent's firstborn enslaves their kin And they live in cities that bear his name Waiting for a plague to cleanse For discord to fill the halls... And so eternity ominously awaits With vultures flying upon each carcass A torture deserved merely for existing Why must our life not be eternal? Before my very eyes mountains tremble in fear A new revolt has arisen against the gods As if Typhon's defeat was forgotten As if the Aloads had not died in youth Why must we not accept the reaper's scythe? Why must we want to rise as eagles, When we are merely their prey? No hope is left for the ones who die And yet they keep on fighting Until ash and dust is all they become As they eternally burn in mighty Phlegethon And they decay into oblivion These withered wretches can only wait Wait for this aeon to finish For Icarus' secret to be revealed...
8.	The Veil Of Condescension 05:02	lyrics	buy track
The veil of condescension is all-enshrouding It's a frigid caress of spite On the robes of the ungallant swain And on the burgeoning gloom of the graceful concubine Layers upon layers of disdain Meek coated in fake innocence The unascended crawl maculating what's sacred Only the lacerating blade of a divine detractor May pierce this cursed veil No mind sees the wretched deeds that are done Yet their derision shall meet reprise A retaliation of the gods with no space for aporia Supra non sponte occidati eorum cadavera Ei infra suum mortam carnem repent Dum sui exsibilati sint quod sui eiulati erant Serpentes inter sui eiusdem fausti corruptionis Marcescentem terram surrepunt Ubi sui hominum vultus suos conspectus cruciant And their shining armours shall break down With the merciless march of time As thought brings war to the masses Yet mankind shall never rise above...
