1. ...In Your Kingdom 1:20

Agní Parthéne Déspina, Áhrante Theotóke

Hére Nímfi Anímfefte

The time has come

This is Nepsis 2025

Bringing you the good news of the risen Christ

Prepare the way

Make straight his path

Every knee shall bow

And every tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is the King of Kings

Storm the gates

Reclaim your freedom

Lord remember me

In your kingdom

Dominate

2. Heretic 1:38

Heretic

Why must you spit on his name

Why must you lead them astray

Spreading your hate

Drive them away

Go on and keep it up

Then no one will be saved

Heretic

I am so sick of it

Heretic

No one is safe

The false light the way

Preach with a forked tongue

Spreading decay

Feeding the narrative

So prideful and sensitive

Running your mouth

Letting us down

There will be hell to pay

So bring it down

Bring it down

Heretic

3. Regicide 3:19

I will destroy the world in chaos with my dirty teeth

You speak of regicide

As though you sit so high

But you know not what you're up against

So do you really wanna take the chance?

Go

Fight God

Fight God

You just wanna fight God

Living like a big dawg

'Til your, 'til your heart stops

Brain rot

Brain rot

Sucking in the brain rot

Systematic dopa-manic

Never mind the damage caused

What happens when your soul departs from skin and bone?

Will you be willing to reap what your seeds have sown?

No peace of mind for you, always unsatisfied

Self serving greed is voluntary suicide

Wrath

Greed

Lust

Sloth

Pride

Envy

Gluttony

Loss

Wrath

Greed

Lust

Sloth

Pride

Envy

Gluttony

Loss

Is this what you live for?

Work and breathe and die for?

Is this what you live for?

Strive for?

Bleed for?

Die for?

You speak of regicide

As though you sit so high

Looking love right in the eye

And you just twist the knife

Oh

What have we done

What have we done

Fate we can never outrun

He is the only way out

He is the only way out

Go ahead and spit in his face you cowards, but when the heavens split open you won't be laughing in the end

You will be naught but a soul floating in the endless abyss yearning for your vices, but with no physical reality to satiate yourself

Lost

In

Nothing

4. Self Help 2:17

Wake up

Feel the pain, hear the noise

Live in a world

Dominated by choice

Focused on illusion

Living in a fantasy

All that you desire

Somehow always out of reach

Before you self-destruct

You think you've had enough?

Time to refine your edge

Take back the life you've been given

What kind of man are you

It's time to choose, so will you

Waste away in shame?

Or bring back honor to your father's name

Go

(God speaks in shoulds and the devil speaks in wants)

Free yourself

(Each time you give in to your wants the devil's voice gets louder)

Be yourself

(We are God that is stuck in this human animal)

Free yourself

(We must kill off the human animal and rise up)

Cast aside your self-made chains

Stop acting like a victim you coward

And take some responsibility for your life

Nobody is coming to save you

You are the determining factor

So start acting like it

Or you will surely drown

Get off of your ass and push harder

Regain control

And so it's fascinating that that happens because you, as human, have God in you my friend, and you can either listen to the voice of God, or you can choose to listen to the voice of your inner bitch, the devil

5. Prodigal 2:39

Feels like I lost the plot

Somewhere along the way

I left myself to rot

Instead of facing pain

Unfathomable cost

Living in denial

Of the endless vicious cycle

All out war just for survival

How could I ever be enough?

Left in the ashes spitting blood

I carve my name into my grave

Spit on your love so

I am not worthy

To be called your son

(Called your son)

Yet with open arms

To me you run

What have I done

To deserve your love?

(Deserve your love)

Yet by your death and grave

You erased my stain

Every promise I betrayed

Buried under my decay

Oh Father, I've got nothing left

But these broken hands

And a hollow chest

Father, why have you forsaken me?

I lay in the dust of death

My tongue cleaves to my jaws

Forgive me father

How am I worthy?

How am I worthy?

My strength has all but vanished

Please help me

Bury me alive

In the tomb I built

Digging with these hands

Covered up in filth

Grace like a fire

Tears through my veins

I am washed in the blood

I'll never be the same

Discography:

Oracles Of Devastation (album)

January 2, 2026, Vision Of God Records (CD, Digital)

January 2, 2026, Independent (Digital)

1. Until The Desolation 1:22

...Until the cities are desolate

Without inhabitants

Houses, without people

And the land is a desolate waste...

2. A Curse Devours The Earth 3:28

The earth mourns and fades

The world languishes

Both heaven and earth languish

The earth is polluted because of its inhabitants

For they have transgressed laws

Broken the ancient covenant

Therefore they who dwell on earth have dwindled

Only a few are left

Nothing remains but desolation

See! The Lord is about to empty the earth and lay it waste

He will twist its surface, and scatter its inhabitants

The earth shall be utterly laid waste

Utterly stripped

Therefore a curse devours the earth

And its inhabitants pay for their guilt

For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth

Among the peoples...

From the end of the earth

We hear songs

But I said, "I am wasted, wasted away"

Woe is me!

The traitors betray...

Therefore a curse devours the earth

And its inhabitants pay for their guilt

For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth

Among the peoples...

3. Shades That Cannot Rise 4:09

My soul yearns for you at night

Yes, my spirit within me

Seeks you at dawn

When your judgment comes upon the earth

Dead they are, they cannot live

Shades that cannot rise

Indeed, you have punished

And destroyed them

And wiped out all memory of them

The wicked, when spared

Do not learn justice

In an upright land they act perversely

And do not see the majesty

Of the Lord

Dead they are, they cannot live

Shades that cannot rise

Indeed, you have punished them!

Lord, oppressed by your punishment

We cried out in anguish under your discipline

As a woman about to give birth

Writhes and cries out in pain

We conceived and writhed in pain

Giving birth only to wind

But your dead shall live

Their corpses shall rise!

Awake and sing, you who lie in the dust!

For your dew is a dew of light

And you cause the land of shades to give birth

Dead they are, they cannot live

Shades that cannot rise

Indeed, you have punished them!

4. Celestial Hosts Will Rot 4:47

He has placed them under the ban

Given them up to slaughter

Their slain shall be cast out

Their corpses shall send up a stench

The mountains shall run with their blood

The heavens shall be

Rolled up like a scroll

All their host shall wither away

Its land shall become burning pitch

Its soil into sulfur

Night and day it shall not be quenched

Its smoke shall rise forever

From generation to generation it shall lie waste

Never again shall anyone pass through it

Its castles shall be overgrown with thorns

Its fortresses with thistles and briers

It shall become an abode for jackals

A haunt for ostriches

Satyrs shall call

The lilith repose

And find herself

A place to rest

For the mouth of the Lord has ordered it

And his spirit gathers them there

It is he who casts the lot for them

His hand measures of their portions

They shall possess it forever

When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens

It shall come down for judgment

Upon a people under my ban

A great slaughter in the land

All the host of heaven shall rot

All their host shall wither away

5. Darkness And Woe 4:22

He forms the light, and create the darkness

He makes weal and creates woe

Woe to anyone who contends with their Maker

A potsherd among potsherds of the earth!

Woe to anyone who asks a father, "What are you begetting?"

So that all may know, from the rising of the sun

To its setting, that there is none besides him

He will go before you

And level the mountains

Bronze doors he will shatter

He will give you treasures of darkness

Riches hidden away

They are

Put to shame

And disgrace, all of them

They go

In disgrace

It is he who arms you, though you do not know him

He has not spoken in secret

From some place in the land of darkness

So that all may know, from the rising of the sun

To its setting, that there is none besides him

To him every knee shall bend

By him every tongue shall swear

He forms the light, and creates the darkness

He makes weal and creates woe

Woe to anyone who contends with their Maker

A potsherd among potsherds of the earth!

6. You Who Immolate 0:56

Burn with lust among the oaks

Under every green tree

You who immolate children in the wadies

Among the clefts of the rocks

Whom did you dread and fear

That you told lies

And me you did not remember

Nor take to heart?

When you cry out

Let your collection of idols save you

All these the wind shall carry off

A mere breath shall bear them away

7. Cast Without Burial 3:22

How the oppressor has come to an end!

How the turmoil has ended!

The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked

The staff of the tyrants

That struck the peoples in wrath

With relentless blows

Below, Sheol is all astir

Preparing for your coming

Awakening the shades to greet you

The lord has broken the rod of the wicked

The staff of the tyrants

That struck the peoples in wrath

With relentless blows

How you have fallen from the heavens

O Morning Star, son of the dawn!

How you have been cut down to the earth

You who conquered nations!

But you are cast forth

Without burial

Like loathsome carrion

A trampled corpse

But you are cast forth

Without burial

Like loathsome carrion

A trampled corpse

8. Crushed By Eons Of Inequity 5:58

He was spurned and avoided by men

A man of suffering, knowing pain

Like one from whom you turn your face

Spurned, and we held him in no esteem

Yet it was our pain that he bore

Our sufferings he endured

We thought of him as stricken

Struck down by God and afflicted

We had all gone astray like sheep

All following our own way

But the Lord laid upon him

The guilt of us all

He was given a grave among the wicked

A burial place with evildoers

Though harshly treated, he submitted

And did not open his mouth

Like a lamb led to slaughter

Or a sheep silent before shearers

But he was pierced for our sins

Crushed for our iniquity

He bore the punishment that makes us whole

By his wounds we were healed

Seized and condemned

He was taken away

Who would have thought any more

Of his destiny?

But it was the Lord's will to crush him with pain

By making his life as a reparation offering

And the Lord's will shall be

Accomplished through him

9. Abhorrence To All Flesh 1:34

They shall go out and see the corpses

Of the people who rebelled against him

For their worm shall not die

And they shall be an abhorrence

To all flesh

1. The World Is A Temptress 3:24

Snarling

Painted, red lips

Painted smile she's

Beckoning me to death

Seducing me to die

Senses exploited, over-stimulation

To overcome desensitization

Come eat me, I ask, I ask nothing in return

Come use me, I ask nothing, nothing in return

But your soul

Red lips, red badges, red, red, red

Seducing me to die

Weaponized psychology

Put to use commercially

With neurological stimuli

Selling the lie

Their tightly wrapped flesh, commercialized

Hiding their pain, perception sterilized

Blinding me for their greed, hunger, coveting

These sirens, these temptresses

These wretched succubi, seducing me to die

These sirens, these temptresses

These succubi, paint their careless castles in the sky

Glamorous, their wickedness

Carefully deconstructing my transcedence

Encaging, enraging

I pray I'll commence my disengaging

Tear me loose

Hold me close

Break my heart

For the things that break Yours

Tear me loose

Hold me close

Break my heart

For the things that break Yours

Snarling temptress

Painted, red lips

Painted smile

She's beckoning me to death

Seducing me to die

2. Indefatigability 4:45

Evolve

Expand

Indefatigable

Limitless

Entropy

Sweet melody

Plays incessantly

Reaching equilibrium

Emerging

And converging

Cell proliferation

Microcosmic feat of creation

Strings, membranes, folding dimensions

Giving rise to waves and particles

Matter, energy, time, information

Atoms, molecules, cells into organs

Layers and layers and layers of existence

Bearing a signature driving

Limitless expansion

Infinite universe

Creatio ex nihilo

From Planck to Avogadro

Creator bestowing creation

With the power to create

To create

Create

Infinitesimal to the infinite

Indefatiguable expansion that will never end

Quantum, atom, molecule

Organelle, cell, tissue, organ

Organismal system to organism

Group, population, community, ecosystem

Biosphere, planet to solar system

Galaxy, and clusters of galaxies

Limitless expansion

Infinite universe

3. Carnation 4:39

We're trembling

In the wind

We are flowers of God

We are flowers of God

Flesh-colored and fragile

Adorning idlewild

Amidst the chaos turmoil

He planted seeds in fertile soil

Seeds in fertile soil

Now, petals floating through the fresh spring air

Flowers blooming and the Gardener smiles

Sprinkling water with gentle care

Now, beams of sunlight penetrate the air

Robed in intrinsic beauty

Entwined phylogeny in all splendor

Realization

Leads to devotion

In Elysium

Let Your Kingdom come

Let Your Will be done

Realization

Leads to devotion

In Elysium

We are Carnation

We are Carnation

We are Carnation

We are Carnation

We are Carnation

We are flowers of God

4. Regula Insanus 5:10

Insanity reigns supreme

Fascination with obscene

Truth hurts so we install lies

Wickedness in disguise

Systematic oppression

Leading to possession

Of your inner being

Blinding all, determining what you're seeing

Superficial materialism

Magnified through a prism

All your thoughts, all your focus

All your cravings and all your vision

Systematic negation

Of your foundation

Of your inner being

Your psychological core

Welcome to this world

Where nothing is what it seems

We penetrate your wildest dreams

Fountains of youth at all cost

Stimulate perfection for the lost

Societal imprinting starts at birth

Others' weaknesses determining your worth

Welcome to this world

Where nothing's what it seems

We penetrate your wildest dreams

Tell me your wildest dreams and I'll

Make them come true

Elevate your status

Self-worth depends on others

Conspiracy theorists they

Ride the gravy train of madness

Worship pseudoscience

Forming their alliance

Welcome to this world

Where nothing is what it seems

And you will be

Utterly amaze

Welcome to this world

Where nothing's what it seems

Welcome to this world

We will penetrate all your wildest dreams

Insanity reigns supreme

Fascination with the obscene

Truth hurts so we install lies

Wickedness in disguise

Systematic oppression

Leading to possession

Of your inner being

Blinding all, determining what you're seeing

Welcome to this world

Systematic negation

Of your foundation

Turn your inner blind eye

Revel in the agnostic lie

5. The Sins Of The Fathers 3:27

I look into your eyes

And I see your desperation

I look into the sky

And I raise my hands in frustration

The sins lay down your intricate foundation

Personalities shaped by means of mindless imitation

(Why)

Echoes

(Do I)

Reverberate

(Comply)

And form

This wretched pattern

(I)

Chords of

(Will try)

Past sins

(To untie)

Knotted into this

Web of violence

Childhood impressions of the guilty

Inevitably shape the innocent

Delicate psyches corrupted

During early development

Unavoidable influence

Tainting the mind

The sins of the father

Thus shaping mankind

(Why)

Echoes

(Do I)

Reverberate

(Comply)

And form

This wretched pattern

(I)

Chords of

(Will try)

Past sins

(To untie)

Knotted into this

Web of violence

(Why)

Echoes

(Do I)

Reverberate

(Comply)

And form

This wretched pattern

(I)

Chords of

(Will try)

Past sins

6. This Is Our Revolution 6:05

We have been waiting on our King for centuries

Who will vanquish our oppressor

He will destroy their rule

He will establish our eternal kingdom

Rise up!

Rise!

This is our revolution

Moment we've all been waiting for

Finally our time has come

This is the time of victory

Raise up a banner for the nations

Finally we will be free

Rise!

We will no longer be ruled by the oppressor of the city of Edom

We will not bow down to its tyrant's puppets

Our Messiah will lead our revolt

Don your weaponry

Don your armor

Made of leather and plated steel

Rise!

Our revolution starts... now

This is our revolution

Moment we've all been waiting for

Finally our time has come

This is the time of victory

Raise up a banner for the nations

Finally we will be free

Nigh! Is the kingdom that will last forever

Why! Is our sword made of Spirit

And does our enemy live inside of us

Rise!

Rise!

Nigh! Is the kingdom that will last forever

Why! Is our sword made of Spirit

Weaponry of God

1. Laniakea 4:20

Laniakea

Work of art

Endless Heavens

Humble my heart

Love letter written

Across the skies

Reverence and awe

It inspires

Endless cycle of infinity spawning

Humility, now dawning

Sense of belonging

In this current universe

Predestined in quantum fields

Now across the great divide

Primum Movens reaching out to mankind

Incarnated into one man

Kingdom among us

Kingdom has arrived

Endless Heavens

Humble my heart

Laniakea

Such a marvelous work of love

Laniakea

Endless Heavens

Laniakea

Work of art, work of love

The greatest commandment

His Spirit instilled in us

Her gentle, powerful work

Love's empire being built

With hammer and nail

Forgiveness and love

With spirit and fire

So below, as above

Kingdom is here

With hammer and nail

Forgiveness and love

With spirit and fire

So below, as above

Kingdom among us

The heaven of heavens descending towards us

Love letter written

Across the skies
