Ancestors 03:08
Our ancestors chased the sun north No moonlight would touch their skin We follow their paths and chase our herds north But now our herd trips the bones of giants Break their legs and die Our herd gets trapped in wire Bleed out and die The dead fish rise to the surface Their flesh rotten and tasting of death The water from the lake is tainted We fall sick after quenching our thirst
2.
The sun can split stone And shift the earth beneath Till it forces up its ancient dead And the demons held within I watch them stride across the tundra Walking dead, a pestilent horde That carry ancient plagues Within their aching bodies We devour them Till they infest our very being. Lesioned skin and ulcer lungs That can’t gasp for air I watch them stride across the tundra Walking dead, a pestilent horde That carry ancient plagues Within their aching bodies Mans harbinger walks on cloven hooves

Pathologic 06:54
We lie here in agony Our butchers are masked No tainted blood can touch Their skin or fill their lungs A pillar of smoke on the horizon Ancient demons burn in the fire A column of fire on the horizon Hells fire brings damnation We lie here in agony Our butchers stride past Across the steppe of murderous spectres The bone-child in pestilent flame The poison blood-faced sunset Chars the ashen plain Pestilent death Sloughed yellow skin The plagued reach to the sky Amidst diseased kin Father, hear our death-prayer Dispel this baneful hell Let this plagued soil Burn itself within me alone They pull their herd aside Cast in pits, hearts alive Liquid flame sticks to skin Rotten filth burned of sin Beneath the astral pyre Lies the tundra ablaze Our bodies stacked In flaming orgy Our hands claw to the sky Burning black smoke fills Each gasp of air A pointless struggle to the surface And drowning in a sea of flame
4.
My master calls me forward, A servant bent and bowed. My faith has yielded worth And I inherit from my lord The realm beneath his own This earth is mine I am lord of all that is under heaven Cleanse all with fire. All that exists here is my dominion. Let the surface of the earth Be scorched forevermore Birthright, entitled, infallible I am heir to the throne. My flames will purify all You’ll suffer and bleed under me I’ll make you dig your graves deeper Guide me to my home I thread across the great white north Its mountains fall before me I crack the earth below And gods holy flames burst forth No trees, no life, no hope This is what the good lord gives to me A desolate hell of my design All trembles before me Till I come to the plain And I watch the tundra ablaze

The Thaw 05:30
The thaw brings ancient beings you cannot fathom You think that ancient worms cannot trouble you But underneath the ice are creatures more ancient than man When your body falls Decaying nematodes will feast The ash to which we return Is the ash that will kill us When your body falls Decaying nematodes will feast The ash to which we return Is the ash that will kill us

Lá na fola 05:47
Corrú ithreach thíos, Tréigim do Dhia, mar a d'fhág do Dhía mé. An domhain á dhó, Dó domhain, Beirt deamhan, Deamhain á ndó Lá na fola Mo dheora fola Lá na fola Mo dheora fola Bhur nDia Fola, Tá an domhain dóite

Astral Pyre 05:22
A single man crosses the plain. Dragging a sled covered in Kindling and oil canisters, His body draped in oilskins Eventually he comes across A carcass. A dead reindeer. He wastes no time. He plugs the orifices and Builds a funeral pyre and Ties a thick canvass bag over The animals head He covers the pyre In fuel And lights it either side It burns for what feels like days Him constantly adding kindling To fuel the immolation. In the end there is only ash He douses the ash in liquid, Packs up the sled and begins Moving across the plain, Struggling in the sweltering heat
