Nomad

I search the land for shelter I must seek
These raging winds will strip you of your faith
To hold the line no failure or defeat
Do not give in, this future is not for me
The candles out I’m laughing in the dark
You’re lashing out, grasping at the throne
Feel your morality slip
A hunger you’ve never known
You claim this world as if it is your own
Only the stars remain, to guide me to my home.
The candles out I’m laughing in the dark
The endless years
The candles out I’m laughing in the dark
The endless years

Last God
05:00
|
|

Ethereal world last one abandoned
A lifetime of pain to rot in the void
Damnation in chains, master of vengeance
No will to refrain from sparing this world
Last God
Enslaved
Sacrifice
In his name
Calling the damned, summons the generals
This world is at hand, releasing the horsed
A vile scene of death, thousands dismembered
The earth turned to red, the sky grey and torn
Last God
Enslaved
Sacrifice
In his name
His kingdom aflame, wielding the sword of ascension
Bowed down in shame from angels dethroning their king
March to the gates, demanding the head of the father
Burn it away, we reach for the heavens to burn them down
DOWN!
Last God
Enslaved
Sacrifice
In his name

The Calling
04:41
|
|
||
Through the rain and thunder
Feel the wicked wind
On his knees to suffer
All within contempt
Bleed the innocents
Of his wicked ways
Struggle to repent
No return for them
Recalled to endless darkness
In the underworld
Hear the arbiter
Calling them home
Eclipse in eminent
Rife with endless hate
See the price unfold
Through the endless haze
The wolf and the witch
The wolf and the witch
All he knows and all he hears
Is her calling out his name
All he knows and all he fears
Is her calling out in vain

Shadows
06:25

|

Tell you the tale of a wicked one
Sent to earth the ungodly son
There is evil that is on the rise
Untimely death comes as no surprise
Hear the cries of the raging wars
Rivers of blood and the blowing horns
See the shadow cast from the light
As the demon comes into your sight
Cast away and left to burn
Sent from unholy ground
Their banners flew in the midday sun
Spreading fear on those who did not run
Ash and smoke spread throughout the land
The death of angels and their one last stand
The only son of the morning star
A sacrifice for the growing horde
See the shadow cast from light
As the demon comes into your sight

Maze
04:59
|
|
||
The emptiness and clarity of mind
I struggle to maintain this, all the time
I’m carving out thoughts that gone astray
On my knees without, no god to pray
The harbinger of evil deep inside
Is clawing at all, I keep alive
And I’m screaming out a pressure so insane
I hope one day I’ll crawl out of this maze
I’m crawling out
I’m crawling out
In a rotting hole…. So, prophetic
In a rotting hole…. So, pathetic
In a rotting hole…. So, prophetic
In a rotting hole…. So, poetic

Faultline
03:39
|
|
||
The comet on a bright red sky
Revealing its existence and the billions that will die
The bells are ringing on the time that’s left
Extinction our existence with a final death knell
It’s counting out our names
In the final hours
You see it burn the sky
The shockwave will collapse the crust
Boiling of the oceans, rain of fire and dust
It burns everything within its path
The grail of existence ends with this burning world
It’s counting out our names
In the final hours
You see it burn the sky
I’m standing in this graveyard now
Fighting all this evil with the grace of the world
The time of living on the world that’s left
Standing on the precipice of the great faultline

Bonefire
05:49
|
|

The wind is blowing
The earth stands still
An age will end now
Like it always will
We chose our ending
A prize to steal
The oath that binds us
Mixed with hopeless fear
My eyes grow darker
As the end draws near
To cleanse my soul now
As the shadow appears
I was chosen
My life fulfilled
The path is clearer
As the fire is lit
We burned away and cast to hell
Nothing left but ashes and our bones
IN FIRE
The wind is blowing
A frostbit chill
An age has ended
Like it always will

In Misery
02:37
|
|
||
Dark pretender cast upon the world
Never ending suffering that unfurls
Washed away
See the ending come
Alone
In misery
Alone
Eternity
Washed away
See the ending come

Red Usurper Saint John, New Brunswick
Red Usurper combines many disparate influences into a furious sound that defies rigid classification. Blending elements of sludge, doom and groove, they craft a unique style that is both crushingly heavy and delicately nuanced. They play loudly and passionately using themes of destruction, ruin and redemption to examine the darkness that exists within us and beyond. ... more
