"For wide is the Gate and broad is the Road that leads to Destruction"
Matthew 7:13-14
Thematic Lead: Martin Mendelssohn Sparvath
Building to Crisis; a Retreat is no Option
The Plan of Aggression is doomed from its Birth
True to my Oath, I fight to my last Breath
Then you will know that I shall not return
Faces in Blood as the Tale is unfolded
Surrender forbidden; last of my Fiend be killed
The Noose is tightened, my Veins bleeding dry
Oh, God of War; don't leave me here to die
Will you leave me to let me die on my own?
Steal my Thunder and lead me into the Unknown
Left in the Lurch; the Tides are turning
Temperature drops yet still I'm burning
Disease and Despair; the Siege wearing on
My noble Lord; tell me why was I born
Stripped of my Rank; I have failed to conquer
The Kittle will close; increasing Signs of Danger
Starvation begins to reap my Mind and Soul
Failed to assert my vile Authority
Final Triumph, my finest Hour will come
Aim to achieve Salvation from Above
Enduring the Death March
The long Winter Wait
Bombing the Wasteland
Converted to Emptiness
Building a Firewall
Intruders are drawing near
Shelter behind the Faith
In this eternal Tomb
Sectarian Violence
Stemming from Ignorance
Teachings of Wickedness
In this immoral Pool
Controlling the Masses
A System of Fear
Dismissive of Evidence
Taking on the infinite Regress
Lead Guitars: Martin Mendelssohn Sparvath
Full Retreat into the Depths of Hell
Baptized in Blood, there is no Wishing Well
National Mourning; waging War of Attrition
Tattered Collection of walking living Dead
Shrunken Heads of the strangled Remains
Disposal of Bodies; penetrating Reality
Rain turns to Snow; I feel the final Blow
No breaking out; I face eternal Cold
How can I be scared of this Moment of Death?
Staring into the narrow Gates of Emptiness
How can I be scared of this Moment of Death?
When I am staring into the narrow Gates of Emptiness
EMPTINESS
