Illusions of individuality Somehow the black sheep Are thought to stand above the flock Every man for himself To break out of the herd These mindless, droning lemmings Afraid of the absurd Lone wolves, on our own Who blaze a path of sin Lone wolves in a pack Just sheep in wolves' skin Stand out from the masses And think for yourselves for once Nevermind the fact we all act the same Think in one accord and you can be like us Lone wolves, on our own Who blaze a path of sin Lone wolves in a pack Just sheep in wolves' skin... No man is an island A god unto himself Just slaves to other idols The sounds of funeral knells Paint to raise their demons To do the enemy's will So scream, "For we are many," As you rampage off the hill Rise up from the tomb Leave death behind They who none can subdue Imprisoned in the swine "Every man for himself," But facing the same way Black sheep stand above the flock Together, a herd lead astray

Salivate and pine for the chaos we desire Screaming for extinguishing the Light Deaf to sympathy, cast ourselves into the fire Summoning the curse of savage blight Our fathers and our mothers, our sisters and our brothers None will see the coming of the dawn Drowning out their screams with the suffering of others For carnage is a battle never won Give use insurrection, for we crave our brothers’ blood On ourselves and on our children, soak the earth to putrid mud Give us murder give us hate, give disorder as our fate Deliver us unto days before the flood Let us stand upon the highest mountain gazing down below As the screaming echoes louder, and the valleys ring with woe We’re a city on a hill, only shouting louder still That God’s will has brought this judgment on our foes Salivate and pine for the chaos we desire Screaming for extinguishing the Light But with the darkness, we did choose to light the fun’ral pyre And our burning flesh illuminates the night And the rivers fill with blood as the oceans red arise Oh, the flood encroaches nearer on our hill Not of God, but of ourselves, we have conjured our demise As our drowning makes our manic shrieking still

Usurpers 09:11
Ashes from the ancient past The dying blaze of two millenia Sculpts its epitaph into the icy sky And whispers the dirge to anguished winds They mourn the death of light And bow before the darkness enthroned For who can withstand the famine of the cold? And whence comes defiance when God is dead? A storm is raging in the East With pillars of fire to rend the heavens We have been engulfed in flames And willed to burn by the light of our funerals Descending into northern vallies Hearts alight with the glow of vengeance The earth shall bear witness Tonight will be the last of its kind We bear the arms of light and sound With torches in our chest and fury in our throats We lift our voices to the sky To take back what is ours The dark has never seen these flames And silence never heard such wailing For That which absence voiced as dead Emerges from the shadows And emptiness drew back in terror And turned its sword onto itself And gushing from its severed maw: The suicide of void is Being Creatio ex nihilo In saecula saeculorum

Sanctify this seething hate Etch it out in stone May our children learn disgust And fear of the unknown Darker skin and different tongue Banished from the light Which shines upon this idol In blue, and red, and white Blasphemy transmutating From a curse into a way of life Obfuscation of eternity Erased from the hearts of man What becomes of us all When we conflagrate the spirit? When the flesh grows weak in its strength, And we grow rich in death? Cold and lifeless, we rot while still alive And in our emptiness make others hollow too We live in pursuit of death Let us die in pursuit of Life Grown too cold to feel the embers That burn inside you still Numbed from frostbite to the hate You have always called God's will Break Free
