Awoken from slumber
The inanimate ones
Forced to enslave
Feeble entities
Unfold the structure of which the multiverse is made
To wield the power of infinity compels
Travelling to find the unknown dominance
Which has manifested to the incoming singularity
Concealed dimension, bound for retention of the Providence Key
An ancient opus that was lost in time
Contents of which are most renowned
Prophetic etchings of a past design
Foretells the dawn of an aeon lost
Shrouded in dust, within a veil of dark matter they slumber
Visions of old, reveal potential energies to be assembled
Mechanized, their celestial forms, their objective to perfect
Set to corrupt, upon return, Macrocosmic Architects
A vault of shadow built in a seraphic forge
Pylon enforcers protect against invaders
Ancient fingers clutch the symbol of oblivion
Affliction of the gods, echoed across dominions
An ancient opus that was lost in time
Contents of which are most renowned
Prophetic etchings of a past design
Foretells the dawn of an aeon lost
Shrouded in dust, within a veil of dark matter they slumber
Visions of old, reveal potential energies to be assembled
Mechanized, their celestial forms, their objective to perfect
Set to corrupt, upon return, Macrocosmic Architects

Antithesis
03:47
|
|
||
|
Descendants from an archaic period
Transfigured from outer world fragments
Their bodies rebuilt
Capabilities are endless
Restructured to undertake supreme orders
Traversing death the armada does not sleep
Resuscitated from a millennia of slumber
Awoken in a nebulous instant
Programmed for chaotic needs
Bodies butchered and mechanized
Creating an ethereal beast
Eyes open in a fervor of affliction
Shuddering in agony
All recollection is fleeting
Fueled by the paroxysm of memory
The price for immortality has been paid
Internal suffering with a hunger for decay
Feasting off planetary dust
The sudden realization of consciousness
Convulsing, the body’s necrotic evolution
Assimilation, parasitic, of what was once alive
The antithesis of existence.

Xenocide
03:38
|
|
||
|
Instilling a hive-like mentality
In the multitude of sentient beings
The overlords gather their progeny
Preparing the swarms for conquest of worlds
Consumed with an unrelenting desire to devour
Marching drones off to slaughter
To commence the process of xenocide
Boarding the infantry crafts
Sounds of turbines fill the air
Mechanical monoliths take flight
Insane desire to conquer
Full spectrum annihilation
Fueled solely by the curse that plagues them
Their unholy crusade begins
Through the shakes of the travels
The clamour of synthetic parts
As the voyage sets its course
An armada to rival the Vardugals
To cleanse the stars of all their life
Existence offends the chaos gods
Pestilential, unrelenting legions conquer
Galactic obliteration absolute
Engulfed in empyrean black holes
Chromite weaponry creeks
From astral compression
Insane desire to conquer
Full spectrum annihilation
Preparing the swarms for conquest of worlds
Consumed with an unrelenting desire to devour
Marching drones off to slaughter
To commence the process of xenocide

Consumed
04:48
|
|
||
|
Departed from the dominion
Fleets arriving from warp drive
The planet has been analyzed
A progenitor of millennia, a feast in all its splendour
Fetid battle beings within nanoshells
Tactical formations form a halo above
Within an instant, corundum beams engage
Worldly crusts begin to waver
Ancient entities evaporate
Unaware they flee, the cowards!
Gravity dissipates as planetoid matter disintegrates
The seismic onslaught trembling the planetary system
Defiant resistance takes a stand in vain
Primitive armaments humiliated
Technologies of an inferior civilization
Implosion of the wormhole
Entire fleets swallowed
Hulls distorting
A fissure in the construct of time
The vacuum consumes all in its vicinity
Being pulled through the void
Thousands thrown into boundless oblivion
Computation of the outcomes was imprecise
Flung into an unknown dimension
Of gigantic gods, parasitic deities

Magnetic fields interfere with systems...
Instruments fail with the energy surge,
Fleet communications are disrupted
Scanners detect electrical anomalies,
Gravitational gateway dissipates.
Emergency vessels stand by,
Anticipating annihilation.
Transdimensional collapse,
Crushing the idle
Eliminating the weak.
Boundless, thrashing, all-encompassing,
The omnipotence of the universe.
Come and witness the apostasy,
Commanders betray their brethren.
Those left behind are forever lost,
to the merciless hand of fate.
Forgotten, expendable legions,
Shall never be honoured in death.
Guiltless, the remnant departs
In search of sustenance.
New strategies must be devised...
A reconnaissance team is formed,
to survey potential worlds
Nutrient rich planets are sought for the glory of the overseers
Hostile forces will be neutralised
Any opposition shall be crushed.
Expansion cannot be halted under any circumstances
Expanding the horde,
Diversifying, the genome
Engineering the ideal form
Altering the structure of existence
Come and witness the apostasy,
Commanders betray their brethren
Those left behind are forever lost,
to the merciless hand of fate.,
Forgotten, expendable legions,
Shall never be honoured in death

Abnegation
03:39
|
|

|
Inferior creatures harnessed for labour,
Unwittingly forced to harvest materials.
An abnegation of will, cerebral punishment.
Relinquishing mental control to superior intellects.
Manufacturing weapons of infinite power.
To cull the denizens of foreign principalities.
Unfathomable numbers,
Of perfect killing machines,
to erase the unworthy from the galaxy.
Nullification of desire, erasing of identity.
Legions of creatures building vessels.
To propel the armada towards victory.
The end of autonomy is crucial to progress.
Unfathomable numbers,
Of perfect killing machines,
to erase the unworthy from the galaxy.
The Wrakktha-li prophecy,
Foretold the end of an epoch,
The ancient tomes contain divine truths,
Within organic vaults they are concealed.
Resurrection of the fetid glory,
Instilling inner essence.
Completion within a fraction,
Traversing reality.
The Wrakktha-li prophecy,
Foretold the end of an epoch,
The ancient tomes contain divine truths,
Within organic vaults they are concealed.
Forever buried in the astral forge,
Anticipating exhumation.

Searching for advanced civilisations,
Combing the stars for sentient life.
A tainted orb in a black abyss,
Unaware of the incumbent horde.
A planet is discovered in a far-off system,
A course is plotted for Sol,
Visited by others eons ago.
The inhabitants were crafted
by the Primus Natura.
An ancient race intended to fabricate
a superior species to dominate.
What eventuated was malady
A bipedal malformity.
The ancient inquisitor,
prepares to descend.
Protocols are obeyed,
Blueprints are outlined.
Titanic form conveyed to Earth,
The god of the netherverse,
All creation bows before his might.
You are summoned to witness the rebirth,
A necromantic whisper told me,
We are far from grace,
So we must eradicate the human mistake
Callously existing without a care,
Pointless lives going nowhere,
The end seems so far away.
The essence of humanity,
so damn complacent.
A denial of reality...
No longer a possibility,
in the face of a new horizon.
An end to redundant beings.

Upon impact all humanity ceases to breathe.
We've known for years our masters covered the eyes of millions,
With a veil of deceit - religion and wars to keep the foolish fed,
As we look up to the sky the clouds part chaos reigns upon the weak.
Calls of the rapture are sung upon deaf ears,
Followers of futility now see who the real God is.
The cleansing process has begun,
Warp gates flooded with hostile craft,
Their inferior technologies failing to defend,
These towers of concrete and steel,
We are huddled within.
Infectious swarms tear through the corpses,
Plague drones sweeping the skies,
All around Mother Nature dies.
Have we as a race deserved this?
Your pain is meaningless now,
In this modern-day slavery,
Blinded by living free,
Our democracies are all hypocrisies.
The legions of intergalactic fleets massacring the young and the weak,
Humanity's future has not yet seemed as bleak - radio frequencies are corrupted,
With the sounds of an ancient tongue - nations are brought to their knees.
The siege has just begun.
We sewed our own demise through our illimitable greed.
