Worm Tongue 03:00
A promise made by forked tongues A promise laced in lies, then laced in sin No escape no love no glory Stop talking Stop lying Worm tongue The cycle never ending Worm tongue Another broken mind unmending Worm tongue Prey on the worthless with nothing to lose Worm tongue In your ivory tower with nothing to prove I've made my own worst enemy He speaks in whispers He speaks in riddles that crawl through your ears A forked tongue hidden behind a smile Another victim of constant denial Fulfil their purpose Expendable and worthless Pretend that it's not hopeless You paint yourself so selfless Oh, holy holy paint yourself so divine The paint has dried and cracked Reveal your insides Reveal the rot Your lies and cowardice reflect your insides We kneel before the throne unaware that it was built on lies Every waking moment a bit more of your spirit dies

The cold dark Surrounding the pale moon A delegating faceless evil One more King among the rot Another ritual to suffer Show me to the council A higher power of flesh and bile Force worship Gain power You can't stand on splintered heels A thousand eyes are staring Watching when you think you're alone Your god shrouded in darkness You cannot see that which has no form Underneath the unrelenting pressure Bones crack and hope loses Bow to your god Hands bound in constant prayer Mouth sewn shut Hear nothing say nothing Do as your told Drilled in and taken root Do as your told Do as your told Servant of holiness Do as your told while you're blind to the truth Oh god What have I become?

No Solace 02:53
Whispers in tongues Concerned you're never gonna break them The waning sun Gaze upon watch the darkness engulf them The bell has rung See them bow see them pray stand above them None dare to run Scared by all of the false truths you've told them No weakness no regret A watchful gaze cast over You see only enemies Your mind becomes a prison No mortal can escape By your hand these walls cave in These walls cave in Everything is closing in You preach you're holier than thou Just one more tally to the list A scared boy hiding behind a mask Cracks in the porcelain show The face, revealing It's lonely at the top Concealing The need to cover it up Your mind Grows vacant Consumed by all of the hate You harbour It festers Consuming all you see in darkness Consuming all you see in dark No amount of fear can hold us together Kings on thrones of rot

Sermon 03:38
I can't I can't I can't contest I bow before a god of flesh And so you give your service Sacrifice pick the flesh off the bone Fall to your knees and pray for instruction A god made of flesh stands before you And it hungers only for power Oh merciful god How you fell so unjustly to grace us all My body, willing My body, broken Blood sacrifice Been chosen Another pawn can't make moves on your own Strings tighten You puppet Human sacrifice, beg to atone With one hand make us think you give freely With the other you taketh away My faith dried up, I'm empty and aching I'm barely bleeding through this carapace of stone And as I lay under the sky (Tomentum Aeternum) The stars grow dark (Tomentum Aeternum) And life starts to fade Cut open, gutted (Tomentum Aeternum) Eviscerated Color slips from vibrant to grey (Tomentum Aeternum) Not like you Beaten Broken Under a cloudless sky Beaten Broken Left in the dirt to die Tomentum Aeternum Tomentum Aeternum

Proselytist 03:55
And so your past has made a sudden appearance Suppress the fear and keep it locked up inside Decisions made with the lack of a conscience Stand on the corpses of your fractured mind Turn back the clocks And reset the timer Stay here watch it all over again Live your life in a loop Disciples recycled Once blind pretend to let them in You are both everything and nothing Cloak and dagger take the knife from my back Cast them out Drag them back in again Spin a web of lies to keep them keen Another servant Another vessel Another forced to their knees made to pray False god False prophet With words like poison make them think what they're doing is right Under the mask A serpentine face concealed A silent voice screaming to the void Don't lift the veil Don't let them see Don't let them in Proselytist You spread your will like disease Pray on the broken and lure them in A toothless husk barely holding together Under their feet the ice slowly wearing thin Ice cracks, it breaks Another person dragged down to the darkness Such pain, it takes Lost to the void and spat back here among us A soulless shape Beyond the pale of the person who raised us Take their mind Take their mind and surely their body will follow Another slave to your will another drone on their knees Repeat the cycle Repeat the cycle Proselytist
