1. Darkest Night 1:26

2. Plaguebearer 4:16

Oppressed and trodden down

Suffering for a foreign crown

Desert air stealing our breath

Only hope for relief is death

Pharaoh, we curse your name

Whips crack our backs

Our pain should be your shame

Let my people go!

Raised as one of your own

Only way you could be overthrown

Saw one of yours beating my kin

And executed him for his sin

Pharaoh, I gave you a choice

Let us go

But you ignored my voice

I am the breaker of chains

I am the freer of slaves

The plaguebearer

Plaguebearer

Plaguebearer

Plaguebearer

First there was blood

Then rushing tides of pests like a flood

Pestilence, disease and storms

Darkness and death of firstborns

Pharaoh, you were warned

Death of your son

Because of the people you scorned

Let my people go

Let my people go!

3. Valley Of Dry Bones 3:47

Dry bones, hear my voice

Laying there is your choice

Get up, with life breathed in

Moved by tendons, sealed by skin

Here in the valley of dry bones

Dead kings lie without their thrones

There's paupers too, having starved to death

But I breathe life, an eternal breath

Dry bones, in the desert sun

Waiting for the one

Here in the valley of dry bones

Dead kings lie without their thrones

There's paupers too, having starved to death

But I breathe life, an eternal breath

Dry bones, of faith so small

Unbeliever - evil's thrall

Serpent, in the dust

Wasted life: a wrongful trust

In the valley of dry bones

Death is echoed by countless groans

4. Legionnaire Of Degradation 3:45

High up on your pedestal of lies

A loveless faith your poor disguise

Perfection is what you strive to reflect

But your heart is derelict

Defilers of faith

Purveyors of hate

You take all that's beautiful about His love

Your self-righteous filth is not from above

Judge not lest you be judged

Judge not lest you be judged as a...

Legionnaire of degradation

5. Akeldama 3:03

Field of blood

There is no absolute truth but meaning inferred

You cannot hang on every word

You cannot say everything is literally true

Or do paradoxes mean nothing to you?

I challenge you to read, to think, to interpret

I challenge you to read, to think, to interpret

Are you a mindless robot

A vacant machine?

The field of blood is where these thoughts began

If it's literal, explain the two deaths of one man

Judas, how did you die?

Judas, how did you die?

I beg you to think

I beg you to question

It's not being faithless, but being mindful

6. No Quarter 3:33

7. Stygian Oppression 3:44

8. Finis Noctis 4:53

As the sun begins to rise

Hope erodes these murderous skies

I know that pain is at an end

Because of the embrace of my best friend

Remove the clouds from my worried soul

Part the oceans and make me whole

Remove the smog from my lonesome soul

Move the mountains and make me whole

I no longer endure the flame

Someone else has donned my shame

A bloodied rag that is made new

A filthy road washed by the dew

Restore my sight

Remove this blight

End of night

Through the Lord of light

A bloodied rag that is made new

Part the oceans

Move the mountains

Part the oceans

Move the mountains

And make me whole

End of night

Through the Lord of light
