From Ruins We Rise

Enslaved to the cold earths scorn we lie buried and long forgotten
Once heroes loved by our kingdom we decay in a nameless tomb
For we journeyed forth on a path of empty promises paved by the bones of our predecessors
We gained nothing for what was lost
This throne was left to shatter in this endless frost
Enslaved to the cold earths scorn we lie buried and long forgotten
Once heroes loved by our kingdom we decay in nameless tomb
Our crown has been relinquished, overthrown from the throne
Forgotten as we fade to bone flesh withers beneath unmarked stones
Those who escaped this fate, the very ones we saved
They breathe the air above, as nails seal us in and dirt piles fall upon us
They journey onward as we rot below
How could it end like this?
We sacrificed it all, only to perish, only to fall
Frantic fists strike this casket lid a splintered hand escapes
Blistered claws climb up through hardened soil
Break free the chains of this earth, retribution fuels an unholy rebirth
Break free the chains of this earth for retribution
We rise
We have risen from the grief of the grave
Seeking those who enslaved and the ones that we saved
The tellers of false fortunes shall suffer
This skeletal onslaught rides to reclaim the crown
A path of our journey traced by the bodies of liars
We gained nothing for what was lost
This throne was left to shatter in this endless frost
Limb by limb and piece by piece, bone by bone your life is released
We cleave and we hack and we rip and we tear and we break and we sever
We rise from this burial reborn no longer lost souls to be mourned
Er for human flesh to be torn
An undead army enslaved to bitterness and scorn, we hung

Legacy of Traitors

Legacy of traitors feat Josh Gwisdala of Excoriate - disagreements foretell the future. Blazing embers dive from the sky, and a putrid decaying stench ferments the air. Shadows fill the cracks in my brain and fury pours out of my soul with intent. Enshrouded in flesh dripping armor, I race into a sea of blood. Flaming beams of light attack the ground destroying everything in its path. Darkness fills the eyes of vicious men. Power seeking mortals with apocalyptic dreams. Our own kind destroying every reason to exist. When all is being crushed and humanity is threatened we must fight together as brothers to dispel that which will demolish life as we know it. Nothing can take away my pride as a human being. And I will brutally dismantle the bodies of anyone who stands in my way x2. Our own kind, our rulers, our government x3. Divided we will fail. My opinions may contradict all that you would fight and die for but when all is being crushed and humanity is threatened we must fight together as brothers to dispel that which will demolish life as we know it. Dispel that which will demolish life as we know it. Darkness fills the eyes of vicious men. Power seeking mortals with apocalyptic dreams.

Nails seem to rain from the sky
A curse upon the common man
To be chosen to disrupt this harmony
An honor only to the spiteful
the heartless, and the hate driven
A glimpse into the future
Standing on the edge of the world that has now fallen to an abrupt disorganization
Breathe in the blackened sky
Feel as the insects fill your lungs
Their reproduction
Nails seem to rain from the sky
A curse upon the common man
To be chosen to disrupt this harmony
An honor only to the spiteful
To be chosen to reign, but reign I will

Lifeless torsos decompose hanging from the hooks in the walls
The monotonous sound of dripping blood echoes through the halls
Passing through a candlelit chamber of lies
Wealth can't escape the shrilling screams of undead souls
When the sky freezes over and begins to storm with blood
Would you kill your own kind
Would you honor those that died
When forced into battle morals become obsolete and everyone becomes a nemesis
Slaves of a treacherous beast to capture freedoms of the human mind
But in the dark glow of the moonlight's shadow this creature awaits
Visualizing the nightmares of an eminent future
Spreading fear and hatred through his people
He embarked on a quest to sabotage humanity
A stadium of genocide at his fingertips
The apocalypse is upon us
Horizons fog with greed
No action is taken by the absent militia and the path to devastation remains
Who will escape the blade and begin a new age of revolution?
When the sky freezes over and begins to storm with blood
Would you kill your own kind
Would you honor those that died

Fueled by Genocide
What have we done?! (x2) a devastating plague devours thousands of lives. Bodies lie dead in the streets. Lost spirits haunt the city on a mission for eternal rest. What did the legacy of man do to be dealt this disastrous cycle? And when will the gods cast away this hellspawn contagion? I watch as the sky screams in agony and fire pours from the sun. Bodies melting as if they were wax sculptures (x2). The voice in my head gives me a feeling of accountability. GO! Water fills the city as the earth swallows itself. The deafening screams of lost souls drown my emotions. The emptiest sky. Flooded with darkness. A sea of bodies. Why do we deserve this disastrous cycle? What will become of this deserted planet after all is said and done? In mans last moments of existence all I can wish for is to turn back time. Why couldn't we realize this is all our fault and why was every outspoken voice sentenced to death? Think about what we've done to this planet and how it raged with its revenge. The ground that you walk on and the system that so generously grants us life could also be your worst enemy. Your worst enemy. Your worst enemy.

Improper Burial

Forsaken in past passages
Told through the eyes of legends
The seed of the one who has been cast down
and spawned within this last hope
From this view you can see the ash clouds
and smell the villagers' hair and skin melt away
Follow the gravel road
You can feel it grow within yourself
Feel it spread, thickening
Your clearest thought may betray you
It's your death within a toll
Clear the lands of this darkened shade
Save yourself enriched in the clutched hands
Its darling touch, yes, is very deceiving
Beyond this village a stream to cleanse yourself
But time, it clots your lifespan in every sacred second
Time passes by
Years have seemed not to correspond within their own interval
Deteriorate fine young man
Withered in death's time frame
Capture the descent in departure
You can feel it grow within yourself
Feel it spread, thick

Digging through the yards of bodies, to finally emerge
My hands carry the scent of the soulless, the soul seeking
I hold out my hands using this frame
to seek vengeance upon the living through possession
killing their killers with these hands, my hands
To grant me their visions, their last seconds from the world
it's not dreams I wake from, it's their whispers and their cries
To a child you were their only trust, the only light to be shaped not to decay
Souls were too young to cry out, only left to watch as their protectors become the possessed
Digging through the yards of bodies, to finally emerge
My hands carry the scent of the soulless, the soul seeking
How many of the innocent, the defenseless have to fall from a loved ones hands?
In this life span there will be this revenge which only some may wish for

The endless cycle
A liar, a cheat, and a thief (x2). My bones are becoming frail. This monster deep inside my body rips at the machine that keeps me moving. The machine that keeps me moving. I fight this world in search of an antidote that will soothe my wounds. My wounds. And all it will do is add to my madness. Plague this body with screams, anguish and pain, then rest like you have the power to control your own fate. Control your own fate. My master to live on is my primary objective. THIS IS HELL! But what could become of a life free of poisons? Fear blackens my soul. Evil clouds good intentions and sorrow bleeds from the trees. This is hell. This truly is hell. This is hell. This truly is hell.
Pretend like you feel better and start all over again. You'll only end up where it all began. Where it all began.
A vague memory a council of happiness. (I think? Lol) A devastating blast beneath my feet could cure this anger
Pretend like you feel better and start all over again. You'll only end up where it all began. Where it all began.
Oooooooooooooo 😆
A devastating blast beneath my feet could cure this anger. But then id be left limbless in a pool of my own guilt.

Eternally Gutted

A dark obsession with her frail form, laid upon this table
Eviscerated with surgical precision, lacerated far beyond infinity
A thousand hearts to perish, a million cities to burn
Experience within existence is defined with fate
The blade brushes the surface of her flesh, her skin crawls with apprehension
Realization of her imminent demise
Reflections of horror begin to fill her eyes
In this world, empires rise and fall, ages come and go
In this world, empires rise and fall, ages come and go
The only thing that's certain, everything will someday die
Devour this heart with memories of her
An eternity together, that meant the world to me
When every second was consumed by her apathy
An obsession with the past, unable to accept what is here before me
A thousand hearts to perish, a million cities to burn
Experience within existence is defined with fate
Indulging on her flesh
In this ceremony of butchery
Gazing upon blood stained hands
Insanity overcomes me
Cannibalistic thoughts cloud my tainted mind and I begin to feast

Destroy!
Diseased notions of our society has left heads spinning. One hearts fulfillment crushed by an indestructible blow from the fist of confederacy. Words weren't meant to devour a soul but when authority is involved no other voice is heard. (Uhhhh cant make out this first line.) And your discrimination of color is ignorant.
If ignorance is bliss then keep your eyes closed until we cease to exist. No need to bury pride beneath the ground because dignity can rip through any barricade.
If hanging your insecurities from the end of a noose makes your heart feel pure x2. The feel the wrath of the Legacy of man or throw down your sad excuse for beliefs. What's done isn't always right in this raging battle called life. Together we will stand as the race of humanity to sentence evil men to an eternity of torture x2.
No need to bury pride cause dignity can rip through any barricade. If ignorance is bliss then keep your eyes closed until we cease to exist.

I am now lost, lost in my sins of flesh and blood
Delve deeper into the depths you thought you understood, this is the everlasting scribe of the words of denial, neglect and insanity
I am but a worm, fossilzed in these walls of depravity, redemption long since faded to illusion
Extinguished in the crimson waters of dilution, a pupil penned slaughter wrought of vericose pollution
Intravenous blankets cover me with this false security
Masking the thought of my own self wrought impurity
From a martyr to a masochist I've destroyed my mind
Prisoner made of the escapist, my vessels are dry
Are you still listening? I know my words they sting
And would you care at all,, if I give in and fall?
Is your skin blistering? I know my words they sting
And would you care at all, If I destroyed it all?
I've rejected the signs to embrace the night, my soul is dead before me
For all that its worth, I emerge ablaze dripping in this hazmat birth
Maps of branching scars will show the paths where the blood once flowed, lifelong horrors are sewn
And now I should have known now my like fate, my heart has slowly turned to stone, so as it cracks and then it breaks, I fear its far too late for my salvation
Within these terrifying destitute blackened halls, all about the floor used needles, strewn between blood stained walls
The daylight it fades and the darkness then soon falls, raising the safe net to break my fall
Its here that I found the light I needed to survive, sifting through syringes, somehow I regained my sight
Are you still listening? I know my words they sting
And would you care at all,, if I give in and fall?
Is your skin blistering? I know my words they sting
And would you care at all, If I destroyed it all?
Clenching my fists in pain, I have to break these chains, and kill this beast within and clear my veins of mortal sin

I've only ever known one thing, known only one way for all eternity
Immortal I create yet I lie in wait as its stripped away from me
Another year my limbs stagnate and wither, somehow I survive through another cold winter
Awakened from suffering, my blood flows free uncoagulated
One footstep of thousands, moving forward, crossing mountains
The flesh of my foes, the ones who oppose, shall nourish the circling falcons
Crimson rivers stain my sidewalks and streets as blood fills my fountains
You can't take this away from me, I'll rage against your apathy, I'll bow out from this stage of blasphemy, but mark my words you haven't seen the last of me
My soul is forever cold I've paid my weight in blood and gold, I'll sever the ties of a desolate path and walk this broken road alone
This eternal wasteland is all I know, yet from my endless travels I have nothing to show
I'll make something from nothing, I've done it before and I'll do it again, stand in my way and rest assured you'll be torn to shreds

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
