Carnivorous Diadem - Deluxe Edition (2023)

6. Mirage of Tyrants

You fucking rats
Disheveled minds combined
Hostages of your own demise slithering side to side
I know where you hide
Violence is what you preach, but we’ve seen who you are
Cowards that lay quiet when met face to face
Hope that you find peace in all of this
You mean nothing and never will

Mental weakness has always been your strength
You get away with fooling them
We hear everything
I will slit your mouths if I hear you again
We know who you really are

I see you twisted manic fucks as you are
You bastards are ego driven imbeciles
You ask for violence
I will find you and separate you from your skin
Strip you of confidence, disrobe you in front of others
I know where you hide
How are you proud of yourselves at all?

Violence
You beg for the violence
You say you bring the violence
You’re choice is to silence
your mouths before we rip them off

Violence
You couldn’t handle violence
A mirage of tyrants
The choice is yours if you want it
You fucking rats

Imagine feeling like a king when you hide behind deceit
You pussies haven’t proven shit

Mirage of tyrants
You are nothing
Imagine feeling like a king when you can’t even succeed
How sweet it is to see you crippled from the thought of us
There is no hope for you

A line was drawn yet you kept on pushing
Your lack of awareness brings you comfort
I feel for you
To be so small in a world of giants and yet you
you see yourself as tyrants
The spears of judgement rain from the heavens
Your lies encompass you
There is no life after this
I will lurk in the corners of your own hell
I’ve never seen such pathetic humans in my whole life

The shadows of your lies encompass you
Waste

The shadows of your lies encompass you
There is no hope for you

7. Versailles

Prison of flesh, repulsion and beauty in one
Looming and slithering, my fears have materialized
From the dirt I will reign
To be remembered in a palace of kings

Slithering through the sands of time
From the dirt, I will reign
Will they remember me?
Omission, my lasting memory
Aching from uncertainty

Fear of empty hopes and dreams
To be laid in a palace with kings
My confinement is elaborate enough to fool the soul
Etching of eminence

A victim of distress, shackled by my own deception
The obsession consumes my life

This doubt inhabits me
Trepidations of a fortune slipping
How can I continue on like this?
From the earth, you will hear me

(Buried, I reign)
Louder than thunder
(Buried, I reign)
Fearing this failure
(Buried, I reign)
Will they remember me
(Buried, I reign)
in the palace of names?

My passion is a veil
Trapped beneath is a soul of uncertainty, begging for happiness

Prison of flesh, repulsion and beauty in one
Looming and slithering, my fears have materialized
From the dirt I will reign
To be remembered in a palace of kings
I will reign forever

Buried
I’ll reign from beneath
This question in my mind
Once I’m gone, what will it all mean?

The perpetual contemplation
I can’t help but feel this sinking feeling
Will I make it?

I have always battled with myself for years
Falling in the depths of doubt, I feel the winds of my chagrin
As the world goes on, I will fade
My stake in this will be my legacy, buried deep with me
From the dirt I will reign

You will remember me
For my voice will sing from the sky
As my soul ascends to the sun
As my chapter ends on this earth
You’ll remember me through these songs
Please remember what I have done
I will reign forever

Carnivorous Diadem (2022)

1. Carnivorous Diadem (ft. Dan Watson of Mire Lore)

A crown of abhorrence
A light shown on the palace of plight
Heir of this insufferable gift
A difference in life enshrined with plaguing misery

Carving a mark of torment
Carnivorous diadem, garb of disfigurement Casting it’s shadow upon a bloodstained symphony of suffering

Such a menacing pain
Succumb to the weight of the crown
Bow, the denouncing of all that you love
Sinking in the lake of apathy, I see the ghosts of my sins to lay my soul six feet deep

I chose this path
I wound up in hell with a broken past
A right of passage to watch my life burn
My demons ravage anyone who gets too close


Millions of cries
All the memories sent to the chains of penitence
I commence my own dissection
Descension of madness siphoned through a lake of anger

A river of confusion leads to the mouth of regrets
Crushing me down
Embracing morbid judgement draped in treachery
An empire of sadness and guilt

Adorning scars shaped as diamonds on the crest of anguish

Carving a mark of torment
Carnivorous diadem, garb of disfigurement Casting it’s shadow upon a bloodstained symphony of suffering

Locked down by these gates of lies
I lead a faithless path of condemnation
I am the lord of misery
To wear the crown means to devour from the inside out

Reign over me king of omission
Gaze of my own defeat
Drowned in abhorrence

All that I touch, all that I love, turns to dust
All that I am
A broken man
What I've become
Harbinger of the damned
All that I touch turns to dust
All that I love accursed to deconstruct
Forever fated to walk alone upon the dunes of their granulized bones

2. Death ov a Sparrow (ft. Devin Duarte of Worm Shepherd & Dan Tucker of Crown Magnetar)

Slaves of wealth, slaves of malignance

Delicate are the winds of change
I feel howling gusts upon this torture and pain
Did everything become a placeholder of the true terror?
Slaves of wealth and ignorance

Defiance
The crucifixion
Cutting my throat, I adorn this affliction
Heavy hands tear me apart and force me to bow
We are the ethos of evisceration, begging for annihilation
Begging to die alone in the haze
The sun sets before the dawn
Slaves of wealth and ignorance

An eruption of chaos
Barren wastelands fester in silence
Slicing through the veil of innocence
Rescind my soul into the abyss of nothingness
Vicious cycles, comfort of thorns and lust
Breaking down every bone
Commanding the knife I once held
Sickening waves come in forms of ignorance and pain
Our shepherds of vile cruelty

Sinking in a sea of lies
Painting suffering, sounds of echoing cries
Clustered morals clash in unison
All we have to feel is the breath of the end
Sinking in a sea of lies
Painting suffering, sounds of echoing cries
With the death of a sparrow, I cry
Our souls are contained and have been left here to die

Without a trace of human nature left inside the web weaved by the chosen watchers
Expect death to crawl and chew upon every soul that dared to seek answers, ask why he's lost control
Feast upon they eyes of the world
As I approach the throne of undead flesh
Instructed to burn I am a slave to you my lord of death
Helpless forever
An underworld over flowing with souls of undeveloped corrupted forms

If I cannot bend the will of heaven, then I shall move hell

Sinking in a sea of lies
Painting suffering, sounds of echoing cries
Clustered morals clash in unison
All we have to feel is the breath of the end
Sinking in a sea of lies
Painting suffering, sounds of echoing cries
With the death of a sparrow, I cry
Our souls are contained and have been left here to die

3. Absolution

Absolution

A tomb, A monument to what was but shouldn’t have been
A force of mistakes that abused the soul of existence with malice
Begging for This Absolution

Blades caress my skin
The only love I’ve ever felt, kissing with each pass
Surrendering is invited

This Absolution I beg for is met with empty eyes
Rivers depleted, this world bares only bones of failed words
Hymns of penitence embrace my ears

This Absolution I beg for is met with a shunning blow from my own hands
I am alone in this
This Absolution I beg for is my damnation
I know what I’ve done
The epitaph of my own self destruction

Absolution

Hopelessly gazing at things I cannot control
Words fail me and my tongue is cut from its shelter
Breathing has become so stale

This Absolution I beg for is met with a shunning blow from my own hands
I am alone in this
This Absolution I beg for is my damnation
I know what I’ve done
The epitaph of my own self destruction

This touch of destiny, painful as it may be, is the only way I feel alive
Fertilized by these failures and lies
I’ve been scarred by plenty

My eyes opened to the face of my failures
I am alone
I’m left in the dark

A tomb, A monument to what was
I’m left in the dark
A force of existence with malice
I am Absolved of Absolution

4. Annihilation (ft. Ronnie Canizaro of Born of Osiris)

A sovereign wasteland seared as the skies erupt in fire and blood
Collapse my world, sever the tongues of sober minds
We will all die as one

Whispering our fate into the ears of the blind
The hunt of flesh and blood
A broken structure of mankind
We will all die as one
A symphony
Harmonic tones of pain and violence

You brought me nothing
Left without remorse
Abandoned, standing alone
Left without remorse
You will never see the light of day
Now we're standing in dissarray

Belligerent disciples of fucking hypocrisy
From depths of despair we carved our place within disaster
Belligerent disciplesYour eyes will open to the abyss of choices made

The hunt of flesh and blood
Suffer annihilation

You brought this guilt upon you
Witness the betrayal
No one is here to save you
Witness the betrayal
Beware they're coming to find you
Witness the betrayal
Tarnished and full of hatred
Witness the betrayal

Pledging the path of mass disruptions in the wake of our progression
Burning and descending
Didactic aggression dividing the masses of mankind
We will all die as one

Polish the tombs of eternal suffering with the tears of our lessons
Hive minded filth
Your eyes will open to the abyss of choices made
An effigy of a system left disemboweled
A broken structure of mankind

5. The Pale Door

A mortician of life
My own two hands placed gently upon your grave
This blade wrapped around my throat
I can not say what I have done
It haunts me, this thought of you wondering where I have gone

This pale door between us

Keeper of sin, I’ve perfected the craft of one’s true darkness
Hidden from the light, devouring
Swarming sadness
Passenger of this cessation
Guided by he who has taken my hand
Trails of destruction laid forth summon the harsh reality of death

You lay there while I dwell in my own madness
The memories invading my head, as I crumble
My Contrition
Absolution, I plea to shield me from this

A coffin of anger bleeding from the center
Story of misery, a tale of betrayal and abandonment
A dark place of contemplation is where I dwell
Years after years I let you down and turned away from you

Sequenced with the pain I feel pairs with remorse
The king of weak souls on a throne of torment
Lifeless gaze
Ritual of repentance
Suffer from these thoughts of your agony

I’m sorry I misplaced my mind
I wish I could touch your soul one last time

My future remains a question
As for you, you will be protected
As for me, Ill continue on with guilt in my life
This Shile of torture
These are my last words to you
Searching for tranquility
I’m in a fog surrounded by my disdain

This pale door between us
Hoisted over the place that you’ll lay
Eulogized in sorrow

Single

Lords of Misery (2022)

1. Lords of Misery

I shield my eyes
Why must the days and nights flow together?
Dancing in the void of morbid rhythm
A eulogy of misery

We have all been deserted, abandoned
Disciples of pain, pure disgrace, and corruption
Bounded by our agony
In dire need of the breath of Ramiel
I call to the luminous light
I’m lost in the dark
Lords of misery

The lords of misery beckon to the abandoned
The harbor of judgment
I shield my eyes

Are we all out done by our pride that we now only fear the thought of death itself?
We do not need validation for living, but acceptance of what is to come
Are we all out done by our pride that we now only fear the delicate touch of our death itself?
A eulogy of misery

We live in fear of darkness
Prophets of death and despair, they hold their weight in the deepest realms of tyranny
Lords of demise
A Diadem of agony

Diadem of agony and misguidance
The mist of despair called and corralled its inhabitants
We haunt this land
Spirits of sorrow, behold, this is the kingdom of anguish

So it is, it seems, the consequence of sin
The harbors of torment
I shield my eyes

Are we all out done by our pride that we now only fear the thought of death itself?
We do not need validation for living, but acceptance of what is to come
Why must the days and nights flow together?
Dancing in the void of morbid rhythm
A eulogy of misery

The lords will reign
Lords of misery
Kings of dissipation

Disillusion (2021)

1. Den of Wolves

Among the serpents are the wolves in the skins of sheep
Hiding intensions of deception
Biding their time for the moment you’re weak
Lifeless spawns descend in the deepest of parts within our minds promoting safeness within yourself
Tearing down your self awareness to the impending act of remorse
Degradations begin to form
With the loss of trust boiling deep down inside, I reject all the light that I have felt

Desolate ingrates
I feel the lack of all remorse
Divisive fucking rats of deception
I try to sympathize, but these questions of your loyalty are flooding in my mind
No one ever sees what I always see;
A clandestine plot to subdue your unease
Carving you up in the blink of an eye
A slave to the words in a delicate mind
These reapers of life can’t wait to destroy your existence
They’re crawling through the weeds
Silently evading the light
Den of wolves, how I detest who you are
Attaching like filthy leeches
The unease merits my perception
Decay
The decay of my relations
Distrust in the ones I’ve grown to hold so close to me

The complications
My frustration
I’ll never know the kind of person you’ll be
I’ll vow to never trust anyone
But the end result will always slay me
The wolves will circle wanting chunks of flesh
They’re so unwavering
My senses are untethering
Open your mind or you’ll be next in line

Den of wolves
Stalking the innocent cunningly
I try to hide from you, you keep coming back
Terrorizing my psyche
I laid my faith in you
You turned yourself away in the blink of an eye
I needed you

You detached your remorse
(Your remorse)

I see them
Lifeless unencumbered life forms chasing after after me
How could you just choose to live a life like you do?
Just a bastard son lying through your teeth

You will target your own, to save your own perception

Den of wolves
(You fucking slay me)
Stalking the innocent cunningly
I try to hide from you, you keep coming back
Terrorizing my psyche
I laid my faith in you
You turned yourself away in the blink of an eye
I needed you
(Turned away when I needed you most)

All these years I was blind to the way that they are
Fucking waste of life, you’ll decay in pain
Craving my soul in spite of being soulless shills
Scheming cowards
I hope you decay in pain
(I hope you decay in pain)

2. Erebus

I’m a waste
I’ve grown to look at myself as just a damaged twisted soul, bound for an empty demise
A vile man with a taste of sin
A bloody pathway to my death
I feel disturbed in my skin
I’m ashamed, jaded
Guiding a tormented agony, seemingly holding a darkness inside of me
Running away is futilely flawed when you look in the mirror

You will fool the whole world down the pathway of life, but your final reward will be the heartaches and tears if you've cheated the man in the mirror

A phantom heart deep within that beats within my own chest
A congregation of this lifeless soul
My whole existence is a sham
Gorging on my own demise
Life hasn’t been what I wanted, and I only have myself to blame
For I am tainted, wretched, filled with petulance
I am damaged
A bitter taste of this morbid headspace
Disgraced

Tears fall from me
Oh, I am my only beast
Why do I pretend that my life is at peace
Realize the fulfillment that this lacks
A clouded mind wakes me up in the night
Searching for my inner peace

Venomous
Venomous, I’m engaged to the darkness

This destruction, this pain
My own fallacy
Distrust in myself
I’ve spent so much time reflecting

I’m in the fight of my life
Carried by this virus of vexation
The unrelenting violence
Just an empty shell

I’m so blind to heed my own words
Desolation

I am so broken
God is a sinner if he thought of me
All these nights left alone with myself
I never thought death would be invigorating

I am so broken
God is a sinner if he thought of me
In my vision I’m the victim of spite, but the devil on my shoulder disagrees with me

3. Disillusion (ft. Tom Barber of Chelsea Grin/Darko)

Self righteous
An Imminent destruction of morals and ethics
A bigoted culture controlling the masses and revoking your lives
Decipher the lies that we lay deep inside us
They lead us to blindness
The truth is behind us
The path to divinity is deceiving
Now what do we do?
Look what we have become

Theses leeches are blindly wielding their crowns
Becoming the magistrates of a putrid world

Disillusion
A dangerous ethos and a sense of uncertainty
Slithering cretans crying in unison
They pray it’s not the end of time
The path to divinity
Deceiving
Now what do we do?
Look what we have become
Graves, lay in your graves and accept hypocrisy
The crippling face of a disillusion

They are not the sovereigns of existence
The pendulum swings in the winds of distress
Behold the coming of age

Viciously sculpting a future so scolding
Their pockets are filling with misery endlessly
Cancerous, spineless, you rejects are blinded
They’re bleeding us dry from what we hope to be

Will we ever do what is right?
Hate is so thick that it blocks out the light
Violence your longing
Blinded by passion
Death the answer
The means of your cancer
(X2)

Disillusion
A dangerous ethos and a sense of uncertainty
Slithering cretans crying in unison
They pray it’s not the end of time
The path to divinity
Deceiving
Now what do we do?
Look what we have become
Graves, lay in your graves and accept hypocrisy
The crippling face of a disillusion

They are not the sovereigns of existence
The pendulum swings in the winds of distress
Behold the coming of age

Disillusion
Deceiving
Now what do we do?
Look what we have become
Graves, lay in your graves and accept hypocrisy
The crippling face of a disillusion

What we tried to leave in the past is a disillusion

5. Embracing Death

This vile construct consumes all I have to give
Through the gaze of annihilation
I’m embracing death
I’m here for the taking

I’m embracing life and death
Free from this endless pit
Free from suffering that bitter one last breath
I’ve come to realize deception that’s instilled in me
Unsheathe my soul, reject the light of this life and this wicked perception

Condemning this mortal life
We decipher the impeccable violence
embrace the fate that they have catalyzed

Though the test of time has yet to materialize in its morbid shell
I’m becoming so uneasy with the thought of life itself

I refuse to live with inner torment
I reject the life that’s bestowed every ounce of pain buried deep inside
Deemed the life to live
But nowhere near a desire
I have accomplished nothing worth to even feed my desires
Bury me beneath the trees
Maybe finally I can find a moment of peace

Torment
Dead and numb
Relinquish my life and extinguish all the misery

Pushing further among this bleak disease
Shrouded anguish

I’ve come to question every step that I take
I’ve exhausted my breath and I cannot hold on any longer
I’m embracing my own death

I refuse to live with inner torment
I reject the life that’s bestowed every ounce of pain buried deep inside
Deemed the life to live
But nowhere near a desire
I have accomplished nothing worth to even feed my desires
Bury me beneath the trees
Maybe finally I can find a moment of peace

I refuse to live with inner torment
I reject the life buried deep inside
I’m embracing death

(I reject the life, I reject the life)

6. Beyond Existence

We are ascending from our uncertainties
The oppression has slowly bled away
Dichotomy will dissipate through the brittle glass of time
Embrace the silence, find solace in the pain

This is the path we chose
A long and desolate road
Traversing mountains of a bleak and desolated facade
My whole life, I’ve prepared for a future that doesn’t exist
Transcending
I’ll never forget the constant feeling of dread
The loss of hope and the derealisation
We are ascending
Apprehension’s faded away

I’ve been lost for far too long
I reserved every ounce of integrity, now it sets me free
Holding still for a reason
A reason left to give

I will conquer

Waste away the vast planes of this hollow place
Look down into the dreaded abyss
Looking back on a life that I suffered through
Embracing a bitter grave
A cold shell trapped inside this realm
There’s something more than this

I’m kneeling down before my own destruction
The hand of Death pulls my head up high
Looking down at the dreaded abyss that awaits me
There is a narrow line between sanity and insanity
Look down at the dreaded abyss

This is the path we chose
A long and desolate road
Traversing mountains of a bleak and desolated facade
My whole life, I’ve prepared for a future that doesn’t exist
Transcending
I’ll never forget the constant feeling of dread
The loss of hope and the derealisation
We are ascending
Apprehension’s faded away

Kneeled down for my own desolate blissful death
I’ve feel so numb and I’m endowed in such a devious dance of flesh

A shrouded mind has overthrown my existence
Reaching out to take control of this life

I’ve been lost for far too long
I reserved every ounce of integrity, now it sets me free
Holding still for a reason
A reason left to give

Transcend beyond existence
To look beyond mortality
To travel the waters of tears of all of those who have come before me
We are immortal when we transcend beyond existence
