Collect my bones in countless shores, Ask the amber, of my name... With these lungs I can breathe black smoke and fire! With this body I can take the pressure of all the seas, Stacked up onto another! I'm the by-product of every failure, Early deaths, unlearned lessons, comprehension errors. One memory, One mind. A myriad, Of wasted lives! Recycled spirit, Disgraced by Gaia! I fly in the winds of chaos! I walk on the waters untamed! I swim within the earth with the dead! I AM THE AMPHIBIAN! In igne ambulat, Ventum spirat, ventum spirat! Aqua factus est, factus est. Intra terram dormit! The infamous selection maker, Corrupted son of the reaper! In secrecy we shaped our own order... To build a resilience, A force, ever determined... Designed to take, The leap of faith!

Let me burden you with a tale, Of a hell, another joke told by life! Born to choose between, Exploitation or extinction! Voidwalkers, dark matter elementals, Toiling like, time ain’t a thing! Once, they had another cause until, Evolution got curious. Now, chaos grows from their trail! Path of black holes, Disrupted energies of old. Ten and a thousand, dying, Abused galaxies! We only take what we need, As our composition feeds. Our nature prevails, Over the ones our ways defeat. We have risen above, We have become god-like creations! Our wisdom obtains, All of the keys to sustain, so shall we! No triumph comes for free! We are keepers of the first algorithm! Our ways were here, Before the ancient laws! Constant ascetic regeneration, At the expense, Of the rest of the living. Banned from serenity! For every action costs an equal exertion! At the dawn of all time, We have heard a call. It was a cry in the void, A request to avoid evanescence. We can live on cosmos, Consider us apex devourers! Our wisdom obtains, All of the keys to sustain, so shall we!

Carpe Noctem 04:27
In the excavation of an arcane nightfall, I absorbed the art of scotopia. Drew my form with an ace of coal, In a tome of ebony vellum! Stories of shadows I tell, Fables the fearful will repel, Favored by the damned, I am... The breaker of day! I am the one who... Weaves the Banshees’ veils, The reaper's cloaks, Wings for the fallen angels, I made. I am... the awakener of wolves, The one, the moon bows to, Nemesis of aurorae's army! Embrace nyctophobia, adopt rare euphoria! Over-dose of tension is the salt on our tongues. Step into forbidden fields, harvest the darkness! Recognize the second side of yourself. Unite with shadows, abandon the reflections! Black sap of lust is the breath in your lungs. Enter inside remote domains, smash the sphere! Open the eyes that slept all these years. Realm of snakes and the owl, Where the blooming sun exists unknown, Hail the dark stag with a stolen crown, The bringer of never-ending autumn! In the raw fire I live, Hearts filled up with a thrill. Praise me! And I shall be... The summoner of your desires! I am the one who... Sews the witches’ clothes, The false gods’ robes, Wings to all the fiends I gave! I am... the awakener of wolves, The one, the moon bows to, Nemesis of aurorae's army! Embrace nyctophobia, adopt rare euphoria! Over-dose of tension is the salt on our tongues. Step into forbidden fields, seize the night! Recognize the second side of yourself. Unite with shadows, abandon the reflections! Black sap of lust is the breath in your lungs. Enter inside remote domains, seize the night! Open the eyes that slept all these years. SEIZE THE NIGHT!

Sun devoured into dying rays, Singing, that shuts down senses. Oh shepherd of dusk, take our days, But please, please... save our children! A human body, In exchange for a flame. A human head, For gods, for a ballgame. Camazotz! Gave us his sight, Camazotz! The dancing gold to guide us in the night. The silver in the sky! And the gold on the ground, Finally we are wealthy, Offspring of the sun abound. He came from beyond the moon! Sang an otherworldly tune, Saw into our souls, Xibalba, his kingdom come! Solar eclipse, Under his rule! Sonar eclipse, A plague-like nocturne! The village that once thrived, Couldn't return the fire. The people; sacrificed, More, than they could afford to suffer. Oh, Camazotz! The silver in the sky! And the gold on the ground, Finally we are wealthy, Offspring of the sun abound. A star-killing screech! An abyss in his wings, The god, in form of the beast, Came, for a feast! Not only their flesh, But he ate their very screams! Tracked down their fear, Like a blood trail in the jungle! Run, run, run, Run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, run, run, run, RUN!

Brumal Feast 05:32
When the reaper can’t find you, The final rest begins to seem delightful, Hell never burned a soul with fire. But with ice… Rimy delusions! (MORS ANIMI) Body turning into black snow! (MORS CORPORIS) Step by step the vision gets more blurred! Step by step, the darkness sets in! (VIVUS DEVORATUS EST) Rewarded by tingling suffering, The mortal forces her way through a snowstorm frozen in time. In lust, with numb heart, she promises herself to Miss Necrosis... It is time to kiss the bride! Eaten alive by an icy cyclone, White lions of gnawing starvation won’t leave a bone. Give the hungry-ones your warmth, Are you responsive enough to this destructive charm? Silvery creatures, spectral fields, (ANOTHER SOUL HAS BEEN LURED TO BE DROWNED) In the oceans of cold; the lost ones are the main course! This curse was born before the stars! (BRUMAL FEAST; THE CONSUMING TRADITION) Look up to the sky and feel the night pour into your eyes! Eaten alive by an icy cyclone, White lions of gnawing starvation won’t leave a bone. Give the hungry-ones your warmth, Are you responsive enough to this destructive charm? Blood trickling skin from the freezing wind, Hear the raven of pendulum zone that never croaks. Mentioned in the mythologies, Shared via rumors, stories and tales... Devour thy hope they say, ingest it piece by piece, That’s how you join the feast! Eaten alive by an icy cyclone, White lions of gnawing starvation won’t leave a bone. Give the hungry-ones your warmth, Are you responsive enough to this destructive charm? Blood trickling skin from the freezing wind, Hear the raven of pendulum zone that never croaks. When the guilt ends, so may the continuum. Until then, the flames of ice, Will be burning blue.
