They lie Propped upon piles of contorted corpses Black hole hunger growing more Rampant with every world consumed Their eyes Unseeing yet frozen wide in terror Cursed to see horrors that not even their death can stop them from repeating Loathsome lord of the mire Self-anointed and all-consuming Foetid fiend of the mire Red-blurred visions is all they see Devouring Don't you hear them? Agony, a soundlеss symphony Worms pulled from a black earth Oblivion I am the obsidian bladе Draconian Fuck rising from ashes dwell in the flame Reign of fire devouring everything Serpentine, time-wound chaos Incarnate crown of madness My scepter, Masamune These worlds shall suffer eternally Late Too late to meet my maker anyway Lost his way, couldn't look me in the face And you'll face the same end as All who hear my name Cause by then you know it's Too late for you to stop the killing Still couldn't quit if I was willing No face, no name for you to jump at Can't hide no place for you to crawl Mortal worms Plucked from lamenting soul All shall fear The reign of obsidian blade The reign of obsidian blade

Surveillance task force Field log I have arrived on Hyperion to conduct a recovery operation There are no signs of any survivors The temperature of the moon's core is observed to have frozen Signs of damage onworld are uniquely consistent with classified case code name: Obsidian There is no doubt in my mind that after 32 years of hibernation... It has returned

As we all wait here Lurking with the shadows In this dead atmosphere Watching blood form frost We left in search of answers How did we become so lost? All we have is this fight against the wind and fire in our bones (Bones) Now it seems that with darker days before us Through terror We carry on, carry on Another daybreak Another night awake Too horrified to move But unable to remain in this place I take a moment to collect myself Before my heart succumbs to this hate Each step treading a blanket of bones Nothing more than the shards of a dire past Each day threading a new needle Stitching up visions of the curses we cast All we have is this fight against the wind and fire in our bones (Bones) Now it seems that with darker days before us Through terror We carry on, carry on Growing numb from standing in the sun To fight against the shadow You sacrifice the light from your heart Now it seems that with darker days before us Through terror We carry on, carry on All these years spiraling Spent tempering vengeance with insanity All these years spiraling Spent tempering vengeance with insanity Oh, a birthright of fire Wrung from the land that time had forgot Oh, a deep-seated terror The road to oblivion is paved with those lost All we have is this fight against the wind and fire in our bones (Our bones) Now it seems that with darker days before us Through terror We carry on, carry on We carry on, we carry on, we carry on Growing numb from standing in the sun To fight against the shadow You sacrifice the light from your heart Now it seems that with darker days before us Through terror We carry on, carry on Our birthright is fire Doomed to wander the land that time had forgot Existence is terror A road to oblivion paved with the lost

This comes once in a lifetime A chance to set in stone It's time to settle the score This comes once in a lifetime A chance to set in stone A settled score and vengeance for all the lives it stole The forsaken sight of the lifeless eyes In the end will be met with cinders in mine By the old gods and nеw From now until eternity I swear to you Mark down this oath Coward Your rеign ends at my hand I see the light (I'll wear your hide) Hiding behind your eyes I'll steal the light (I'll wear your hide) Devour you from inside Murderer It's not over While our sun still burns I'll hunt you 'til the end Rat bastard I'll kill you where you stand I'll kill you where you stand This comes once in a lifetime A chance to set in stone A settled score and vengeance for all the lives it stole The forsaken sight of the lifeless eyes In the end will be met with cinders in My (I feel my) Time (Slip past like) An hourglass that's leaking fast And I Try (I have to try) To slow the sand that's falling through my hands This comes once in a lifetime A chance to set in stone A settled score and vengeance for all the lives it stole The forsaken sight of the lifeless eyes No longer bound to the light Settle the score You're no shadow Just a coward in the dark Better hide well Cause I'm bringing down hell I will rain upon you the very same hell you left for me On a frozen plain you laid to waste Where my heart used to be To finally kill a shadow you must give in to the dark I don't mind My light died When you trampled my spark You are not a shadow You're just a bitch in the dark I don't mind losing lives Just to tear yours apart

Shadow of a man Broken pedestal stand Stuck carving out time and these lines in the sand Blood and bone-cut knife in my hand But I can't find any more strength to keep it up So now it's you up against all this hate in me I thrive in the pain You think there's something left to kill inside of me Just know I left my frail humanity With the dead buried in the frost And I will pile bodies into this hole Until they stack so high that I can fight you eye-to-eye so tell me Don't you know? My frozen blood won't mind a little cold It won't be long now I've caught your scent I'm closing in Gnash your teeth Until they crumble from your skull Totems clawed From the malintent of bornless bastards Rotted gods Looking down from where they perch Sitting in insidious cities Dancing like autumn leaves Clinging to dying trees Dancing like autumn leaves Clinging to dying trees If it's do or die Then I might turn a blind eye Just so I can be there when you fall down from the sky I don't mind scorching skylines Don't step up if you're not ready for the kickback So now it's you up against all this hate in me I thrive in pain You think there's something left to kill inside of me Primal bloodstain So pull me Into a death that we deserve The dying leaves Falling to earth I lift my eyes up to a mourning sky (Mourning sky) That's not good enough That's just not good enough A million angels weep blood for my crimes (For my crimes) That's not good enough It's just not good enough I'm sorry past the feeble power of my final words I understood enough, but that's not good enough A thousand centuries I've prayed you might return But that's not enough It's never good enough

I'm lowering the floor From digging to find more Until I rest my head on bedrock bottom Life has taken everything Never given in return But I miss caring at all cause I'd love to feel it burn But now the shadows freely roam Most days I feel so numb Losing sight of what I've been running from, oh No sense of what's to come I'm heading nowhere fast but it's all too slow It's all I've known It's all I've known Nothing feels right to me The world I thought I'd see Was always a mirage just passing through me I would have given anything Never been so sure Now I miss the clarity as I'm drifting through a blur But now the shadows freely roam But now the shadows freely roam Most days I feel so numb Losing sight of what I've been running from, oh No sense of what's to come I'm hеading nowhere fast but it's all too slow It's all I've known Now I'm losing hopе No sun can comfort me yet Unsure where to go To fill this hole that you left Most days I feel so numb Losing sight of what I've been running from, oh No sense of what's to come I'm heading nowhere fast but it's all too slow It's all I've known What I've been running from Unsure of where to go (It's all I've known) I know that there's no more hope It's all I've known It's all I've known
