Wings Forged From Hate
04:02
|
|||
|
In a crater I lay
My skin black and charred
Twisted beyond recognition
Surrounded by feathers
Blood on my shoulders
Where my wings had been before
A name that will live forever
Though it is no longer mine
Escaped from the maze
On my father's wings
That I dared to make my own
Screams fill the air
As features are melting
Oceans are sprinkled with ash
A tale to be used as caution
For those who would dare to rebel
Chorus:
I see the sun as it shines in the sky
Watching me now as it had in its flight
Helios' breath will flicker in my grip
All hail the destroyer of light
Old warnings return
And promptly ignored
For I am immune to the flame
I'll fly even higher
Than I did before
On new wings forged from hate
What words will my father cry out
As I dive headlong into the eye
Chorus

Hiding from Human Eyes
06:25
|
|||
|
Hiding from the eyes of humans
In a world past comprehension
The gods thought supernatural
Take refuge in rivers and forests
The beings that they had created
And left to fend for their survival
Now building temples to themselves
Unknowingly exchanging sacrifices
Now mortal man is deified
Claiming the name of the old spirit
While ignorant of his great power
Taking prayers from his lost masses
And he in turn offers a plea
To the gods that were abandoned
Blind to the fact that they are weakened
As another set of woods is cleared
Bridge:
Cursed is the flame that buries me
Hot are the eyes of those that gaze
This process will make me a god
This process will make me a god
Gouging out the eyes of those
Who they claim are gods no more
New deities so supernatural
Expanding the reaches of their cities
And they too create their own beings
To compensate for those deserted
Will they leave man in solitude
Abandoned and someday hunted down

Time for Slaughter
06:15
|
|||
|
Listen to me all of you rich
Misery is impending
Weep and wail as your treasures rot
Gold and silver corrode
They will testify against you
And feast on your flesh as the flames
Behold the debts that go unpaid
No longer held back by fraud
Those who had labored under your reign
Come to collect their wage
Soon the Lord of Harvests will arrive
An example to be made
Living on earth in luxury
In self indulgence you are condemned
Fatten yourselves with innocents
Now it is time to be slaughtered
Cries of the righteous
Will spread to every ear
Those who had been waiting
Will find the time is here

Unseen Vigil
03:46
|
|||
|
Who keeps the vigil
At your sickbed
Oblivious to others yet
Visible to you
A crackling whisper
From your throat
Incoherence marked by
Recognizing fear
Chorus:
Death is patient though also persistent
It knows what it wants what time decides
Though always close it never is greedy
It takes what it needs though only it knows why
Specters from beyond
Ghosts of those alive
Do they beckon you
To begin your journey
Do the discussions
That you will have
Frighten you more than
Where you will go
Chorus
Slumber will take you
'til time is ready
Dreams are the shield that
Begats the tomb
The company before (beside) you
Merely manifesting
The slow suffocation
Trapped inside your mind

Where Failure Dies
07:05
|
|||
|
Unable to fight the emptiness
No one is listening
A galaxy of voids
Born from collective screams
Fears of dying alone
Turn into longing prayers
Let me be forgotten
Let them only see my grave
Cannibalize the ego
Encompass indifference
Absorbed into nothingness
Where even failure dies

A Fate Decided
07:43
|
|||
|
Rivers flow through grey caverns
Waters black and opaque
One drink gives the cleansing
Memories washed from the soul
Immersed in the depths
Stinging fills its throat
Unable to remember
Unable to drown
Chorus:
Pushed and pulled by the tides
To wherever fate decides
Arms stretched out for reasons unknown
Weighed down by forgotten sin
Eyes gaze but can't comprehend
Open mouth tasting the black
A fate has been decided
No escape or reprieve
Floating for eternity
Where time does not exist
Chorus

Purification stand tall, a towering statue in the temple, as one of the finest DOOM acts today. A masterwork strikes in the dark of night! As others note, a distinct Type O-ish gothy vibe adds interesting new flavor to the band’s palate while the base is still 100% Purification. Rips from the rhythms, to the keys, to the sax, to the vocals, everything coming together under the dominion of THE meanest riffs you have heard in an eon of the Earth. Just stupidly delicious, thick, lush musicality.
