Eruption
03:30
|
|||
|
Upon the slopes of the great Mount Etna
They gathered from all corners of the Earth
Drawn by an ancient mystic yearning
To witness the Earth’s grand rebirth
Suddenly the ground started trembling
Like the beating of an ominous drum
Clouds of ash came spurting out
Heralding the change that is to come
Eruption… Eruption…

Black Stone Church
04:02
|
|||
|
There is anger
Violent storms of revolution
Something’s rumbling
The world’s perpetual evolution
Molten rock
Reforming what always seemed eternal
Bursting out
Venting the fury of forces infernal
Rising up from the core of the earth
Black Stone Church
Spurting forth remnants of a lost world
Black Stone Church
To End the last with the Dawn of the first
Gaia’s rebirth
Through petrous reanimation
As the earth
Reforms to regain its domination
Rising up from the core of the earth
Black Stone Church
Spurting forth pieces of a new world
Black Stone Church
Fire brings change
In perpetual growth
Descendants of chaos
Take the oath
Progression and change
The will to reform
Millennia pass
As the world is reborn

The Prophecy
04:25
|
|||
|
As we gathered and beheld the eruption
A deeper sense of purpose was clear to all of us
An atrocity that can't go unpunished
Man was born from nature but has turned treasonous
The time we've spent crowding the earth
Is merely a second of her whole existence
Now that second is soon to be over
And to that end we offer our assistance
We pray at the black stone church
Our mission is clear
The prophecy must be fulfilled
The hour is near
The age of man - is coming to an end
The tides are turning
The age of man - is coming to an end
We keep the fires burning
For we are the Descendants of Chaos
Furthering the progress of the masterplan
We will usher in a new golden era
Free from the folly and wickedness of man

Infiltration
03:26
|
|||
|
Spread the word
Our church must grow
To infiltrate
And take control
Even though
They won't understand
They can carry out
What we plan
Infiltrate – infiltrate
Subjugate and dominate
Infiltrate – infiltrate
Infiltration!
Create a trend
For the sheep to follow
They won't see
That it's false and hollow
Mindless humans
Are easy prey
What they want to hear
Is what we'll say

Deconstructing Humanity
03:57
|
|||
|
Step by step
we've taken control
Yet no one suspects
what's going on
Subconsciously they play the part –
just like we planned
We control your destiny
Deconstructing humanity
No more of this travesty
This one's for posterity
Here ends your society
The next step
watch it unfold
As we infect
everyone
Elimination of the human race
to cleanse the land
Use the skills we've developed by nature
to terminate our own existence
With everyone following our command
There will be no risk of resistance
Infection – we bring the cure
No one knows they’re heading for disaster
Perfection – make the world pure
In this age of silent masters
Perfection – make the world pure
In this age of silent masters

The Second Strain
03:26
|
|||
|
Petri-dishes filled to the brim
Wickedness lurks within
A virus engineered by hate
To finally seal mankind's fate
Incubation of five years
Yet no symptoms shall appear
Aerosols spread the plague
They'll know nothing 'til it's too late
The first strain - terminated all life
Too powerful, we must restrict its might
Specified for humans alone
Thus we created…
The Second Strain - mutated to perfection
The Second Strain - ready for infection
The Second Strain - recognize human distinction
The Second Strain - optimised for mass extinction
Spread it through the channels we have
Our followers will be the prime carriers
In time it will have spread ‘cross the earth
To all populations and through all barriers
Infection!

Five Year Piece
04:30
|
|||
|
Days turn into months and months turn into years
We watch the virus spread to bring the coming end
Obtaining blood samples from hospitals around the world
To track the infection and where it extends
To the furthest settlements
Delegates are sent
Ensuring world infection
Aligned with our intent
Nine male members of the church are kept in quarantine
Safe to make sure that all goes according to plan
When the time comes and humans are extinct
By swallowing a vial of poison, they’ll die by their own hand
Five years after we unleashed
The virus upon this world
The first deaths are recorded
Of a disease yet unheard
Scientists have identified the incurable lethal strain
And the news of it is broadcast far and wide
But to the world’s dismay, all of mankind seems infected
Knowing the end is near, many commit suicide
And now we see the effect
As people start to die
Whole nations are wiped out
Total annihilation is nigh

Tomb of Man
03:56
|
|||
|
Desolation
As far as the eye can see
The once busy cities
Now bathed in tranquillity
Decay is taking over
Soon only ruins remain
With the fall of man
The world can breathe again
Mankind dies
Yet the world keeps turning
We realize
That our world keeps turning
The ever-changing mass
The future becomes the past
What was once “our” land
Is now the Tomb of Man
For the first time
in a thousand years
The night is black
No light appears
Scattered bodies
Now decomposing
Or feeding others
In symbiosis
The Tomb of Man
The Tomb of Man

The Last Vial
04:11
|
|||
|
Atop of this mountain
I watch the world below
Horizon to horizon
Bathed in sunlight’s glow
The silence is deafening
It’s the calm after the storm
With the end of civilisation
A new world is born
Where this journey once began
Alone I stand to watch its end
A final step to seal the tomb of man
The culmination of the trial
The bitter taste of man’s denial
With these words, I drink The Last Vial
I am the last here alive
Yet I still speak out loud
But now my time has come
Solemnly I take my bow
How could it go so far?
Yet what happened had to be
No one will ever mourn
Humanity

The Lighthouse
by EYE OF PURGATORY

i saw a movie with a crazy creature coming out of the ocean like this, but, instead of a lighthouse illuminating it, people were throwing matches and yelling obscenities. It seemed to have the same effect - none
