CUBA Thomas- BlackDeathArt®️ Such an amazing album, start to finish. Blistering leads n solos, and beyond awesome vocals. Ron Iglesias is bursting with talent. Good thing is he plays with PARALYSIS on guitar and TOXIK on vocals. Too bad XENOPHILE called it quits, such promise and talent. At least we’ve got this gem.

Gouged at the eyes by security of God Filling the void from the empty days of Sod Eating from a plate of lies to satisfy your need Your self-assuring double talking Bible sounds a good read Glass half empty or glass half full You suck the arid tit when push come to pull Effectively you render those around you ill Your motivation burning conscience to satisfy sadistic will Filled with ecstasy heated by fervor Controlling sheep never required anyone clever Further stimulate deviant feelings of desire With all options in this world let you beware buyer Assimilation soon takes its hold And leeches at your soul Slowly physical and mental changes take the stage The sight of which fills me with an awesome rage Systematic Enslavement of Consciousness Codified to begin the mind-rape with precision Inhibiting you from your freedom of decision Forming and breeding humanity’s abscess Parasitic hypocrites crusading to infest Distorting innocence sense of morality Serfdom in exchange for immortality Crippling youthful minds, scripture’s indoctrination Fire from the preacher’s mouth, weaponized damnation Filled with ecstasy heated by fervor Controlling sheep never required anyone clever Further stimulate deviant feelings of desire With all options in this world let you beware buyer Assimilation soon takes its hold And leeches at your soul Slowly physical and mental changes take the stage The sight of which fills me with an awesome rage Your filth raining down from a tarnished sky Opportunists and thieves suck our essence dry Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Fabricated prophecies infecting all the nations The scathe of hell’s flames, your tool of subjugation Lands soaked in the blood of infidelic heathens Virus of belief, spread through wars against reason Soldiers of God bear the cross as their sword Genocide in the name of a benevolent lord Ancient fables, an excuse for modern hatred Inerrant dogma pervading souls unabated Filled with ecstasy heated by fervor Controlling sheep never required anyone clever Further stimulate deviant feelings of desire With all options in this world let you beware buyer Assimilation soon takes its hold And leeches at your soul Slowly physical and mental changes take the stage The sight of which fills me with an awesome rage Systematic Enslavement of Consciousness

Absolution 05:28
Brought to their knees Absolution For life they plead Absolution Visions of war and screams from battle Left with nightmares and despair Relinquished pride with regret Reduced to sorrow and lament Conflicting voices from inside The truth of his sins cut through his hide Brought to their knees Absolution For life they plead Absolution Bloodlust he feeds Absolution Parading for the glory of slaughter Obedient slaves surrender virgin daughters Celebration met with apathy His mind is a maelstrom of insanity Brought to their knees Absolution For life they plead Absolution Bloodlust he feeds Absolution Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Brought to their knees Absolution For life they plead Absolution Bloodlust he feeds Absolution

In the forest of freezing scorn, I lament Insidious burning whispers fill my mind Cast me out, with no chance to repent Now, in my rage, I’m redefined Soul of an exile Now will defile Merging with the ancient one The blood of whom burns As the sun Ancient beast, dormant malice reawakens Foul, ominous essence fills the air On the wings of death they are taken Fire’s incarnation breeds despair Soul of an exile Now will defile Merging with the ancient one The blood of whom burns Driven to scorch the skies Vengeance fills my eyes Driven to scorch the skies Devours lives, no one left to die (Scorching the skies) Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli Unnatural transformation takes its toll Death and ash, a consequence of pride Evil conjured spirit assumes control The eminent dragon now presides Driven to scorch the skies Vengeance fills my eyes Driven to scorch the skies Devours lives, no one left to die (Scorching the skies)

Doomed to face a slated path No legacy from moment’s past Nothing to show at the end of the line Blown away by the sands of time Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Armed with pointless knowledge of life Unaware of your inevitable strife Lacking any shred of hindsight Lost to wander in eternal night Illusions of choice staring at my memory Securing ties with those who hold the keys Forced to accept the hand that’s dealt to me Onward to a faceless destiny Enraptured by my last dying breath My body seized by the cold hand of death Trapped in this nightmare never to awake Deaf to the call for your own sake Armed with pointless knowledge of life Unaware of your inevitable strife Lacking any shred of hindsight Lost to wander in eternal night Illusions of choice staring at my memory Securing ties with those who hold the keys Illusions of choice staring at my memory Securing ties with those who hold the keys Forced to accept the hand that’s dealt to me Onward to a faceless destiny Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli No joy left to see Surrounded by unrelenting misery Forced to accept the hand that’s dealt to me Onward to a faceless destiny Illusions of choice staring at my memory Securing ties with those who hold the keys Illusions of choice staring at my memory Securing ties with those who hold the keys Forced to accept the hand that’s dealt to me Onward to a faceless destiny

Brought under control Volunteer for conquest Dogs of war disembowel Supremacist destiny manifests Weapons of extermination Depraved regime inspired Disease exposed population Annihilation of proud empires Rain of endless death and fire Tears of innocence betrayed Sea of bodies beneath your feet A merciless crusade Infecting minds with corruption Soon they’ll claim your blood Unending cascade of violence Melting your soul away Swift subjugation Fatal infection further weakens Bolster aggressor’s organization Defilement in its advent Cultures and values raped and replaced Forcing kin to separate Taking them all as prisoners and slaves Destroying resistance, they can’t be saved Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Anthony Bianco Blood will be spilled Breaking their will Cultures and values raped and replaced Forcing kin to separate Taking them all as prisoners and slaves Destroying resistance, they can’t be saved Rain of endless death and fire Tears of innocence betrayed Sea of bodies beneath your feet A merciless crusade Mercenaries of death conquering further With violent, brutal warfare Soldiers committing rape and murder The entire population dies Face of a buried race Militant dominance was the case Downtrodden lives lost Victims of a forgotten holocaust

Heretic 04:53
A vengeful god old in his time His divine design undermined Forgotten souls breeding decadence Insatiable lust for violence All these mortals Bleeding arrogance I will not bow Heretic My creation Out of control A bastard form Heretic A plague upon this earth Heretic Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Mutilates the soul, this material race The consequence of desire, a serpent you must face The demi-urge enslaves the creation Malevolent forces are the emanation All these mortals Bleeding arrogance I will not bow Heretic My creation Out of control A bastard form Heretic A plague upon this earth Heretic Descending from his throne perverse The slaughter of souls his final curse Vengeance is swift and absolute As life on earth is rendered mute Pleasure has become pain The ignorant no longer reign Glaring insolence gone unchecked Shattered paradise, the end you elect Face eternity in pain and anguish In your fate I shall relish! Reclaiming lives abused From your gifts misused Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias All these mortals Bleeding arrogance I will not bow Heretic My creation Out of control A bastard form Heretic A plague upon this earth Heretic

Fate Denied 06:42
Breaking down the lines Treading a path through industrial design Shredding skin and bone Perseverance, the only virtue I’ve sewn Pressure within, seeking you out Failure is giving in to doubt Will I achieve, or am I blind? or is this dream trapped in my mind? Suppressor of progress Your malcontent fiends for company For others you care less Dragging your soul into misery Denying our fate (Seething with rage) Obscurity (Suppressing the sage) Looming at the gates (Perdition’s true form) Impurity (Flagrant grandeur) Facing a sea, beneath towers of defeat Unsure of which path leads to the elite Does destiny call or am I insane? Does this road lead to nothing but flames? Pressure within, seeking you out Failure is giving in to doubt Will I achieve, or am I blind? or is the dream trapped in my mind? Suffocating light A star that once burned bright Charred desire now surrounds A heart, whose truth might not be found Denying our fate (Seething with rage) Obscurity (Suppressing the sage) Looming at the gates (Perdition’s true form) Impurity (Flagrant Grandeur) Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Breaking down the lines Treading a path through industrial design Shredding skin and bone Perseverance, the only virtue I’ve sewn Denying our fate (Seething with rage) Obscurity (Suppressing the sage) Looming at the gates (Perdition’s true form) Impurity (Flagrant Grandeur)

Enslaved, the day, our future is ingrained Can't be changed, marred or maimed, command of sisters' three Ordained, assured, impervious to the horde Iron dreams, fate foreseen, dictate what is to be "Destined to fail, to the cross you will be nailed squandered time, ignore the signs, stifle petty whines!" Kill, deface, death your last embrace Decimate, capitulate, supremacy is mine Rapture Collapse Slaughter Infinite Spend your life to get ahead Fulfill neurotic need You have no fucking sense of self No better than you seem Giving rise to thoughtless words Bullshit spewed incessantly Falsehood becomes perception based Blurring the lines as a saving grace A meaningless life appearing ordered Straining comfort, unclear borders Rapture Collapse Slaughter Infinite Through lifeless eyes Thine will, divine Suffer unto me, The whores of your creed Realms of darkness, the night is my domain Choke the light, unending fight, suppress their right to be Drowned in flames, the myths of man erased A thousand screams, torn at the seams, illusion is undone A tormented mind is a cruel place Filled with hatred and malice Keep my true nature hidden by face Never knowing a person so callous Rapture Collapse Slaughter Infinite Through lifeless eyes Thine will, divine Suffer unto me, The whores of your creed A veil of bliss keeps you blind Kept from a truth they’ll never find Cattle sent to the slaughter Will they wake from this horror? Anger so strong it seals my fate Locked behind life's cold gate They will never see the light of day As I continue to prey Rapture Collapse Slaughter Infinite Through lifeless eyes Thine will, divine Suffer unto me, The whores of your creed

Track you down By whatever means Thrash you to the ground Torment you in your dreams Twist your daily fears Into a paranoid obsession Terrorize you to tears Despair without question Becoming a human deformity Twisted to a ruinous figure Payment for arrogant conformity My wrath you effectively trigger Before your end you’ll know pain By these means your life I will drain Feeling reality distorted and warped ‘Till you are left nothing but a hollowed out corpse No one to console you Your justice is now due No pride to cling to Your ruse we see through Anxiety bearing down You’re breaking a cold sweat Sanity slowly slipping On your demise you can surely bet Becoming a human deformity Twisted to a ruinous figure Payment for arrogant conformity My wrath you effectively trigger Before your end you’ll know pain By these means your life I will drain Feeling reality distorted and warped ‘Till you are left nothing but a hollowed out corpse Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli Before your end you’ll know pain By these means your life I will drain Feeling reality distorted a warped ‘Till you are left nothing but a hollowed out corpse Retribution for my grievance Two wrongs making now right I make my advance To end your pitiful plight Your punishment now fulfilled You pay the ultimate penalty It is yourself that you have now killed For I was the cause of your misery Solo: Anthony Bianco

In The Ruins 09:03
As the sun hides under our lies Time stands still while we await Our last words appear distant From what we feel Not many of us left There's nothing left for us Lifeless approach Emptier than a ghost In the ruins where time ends Like rain in a desert You never seem to make your way As I await... Divine pathway in the sky Please tell me why, oh tell me why The past just won’t fade inside my head Don't want all these memories Failed to see what was right in front of me Can't seem to see past flames Lifeless approach Emptier than a ghost In the ruins where time ends Like rain in a desert You never seem to make your way As I await... for the storm Searching for our last escape Here we are beyond boundaries As night sets on us Fade to the light of dawn No worries for the lost Won’t let no one stop us from obtaining our lives back No we won’t Reap the thoughts of payback from Everyone you have agonized Thoughts raining down Shook the hand of hatred leading To our downfall regress now Made Collapsing walls surrounding me Fate just won’t let me be Take action past the flames And maybe my soul to be free To be free Reigning torture in the hollow of your sleep Lullaby of death Nightmares turn to the signs of what is to come In the future Wake me up Searching for our last escape Here we are beyond boundaries As night sets on us Fade to the light of dawn As you wash away in your defeat The tides take over drowning your sins Awaken to see blood on your hands Your end is now and we'll be crowned Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Solo: Leart Begolli Solo: Ron Iglesias Searching for our last escape Here we are beyond boundaries As night sets on us Fade to the light of dawn
