1.	Omen of Vultures 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Underneath a moonlit sky omen of vultures gathers for the feast Ceremonial devourement for the vulture god of death Resurrect formerly devoured to take part in the feast Once more Undead moans and pleas for mercy their skin is torn and shredded Hail gods of death Hail vulture god For thee I pile high the corpses And as the corpses pile The vultures gather

3.	Wastelands 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Here I sit trapped inside my mind, in the rigid landscape and endless fields of frozen sorrow. Why am I here? Why am I the one to be excluded and punished? Alone I sit, in this old cabin of rotting wood, to avoid the icy winds breezing through the plains. Who they are I know not, but they come to torment and feed to me the thoughts of death. At night i hear their ghostly voices, inaudible chants of mystery, misery, and emptiness. How i weep for them to cease, how i cry out for these endless thoughts of death to end. Snow falls forever, the frozen winds keep my frozen sorrow cold. Am i here trapped forever? Even after death will i be stuck in this barren wasteland, wandering without a purpose? Frozen in the core is light and happiness. But shall I ever break it free? I only descend deeper into the cold dark prison of my mind. Forever alone I will wander, forever alone i will sit, in this rotting log cabin. Forever more will I suffer and cry sorrowful tears in this barren frozen wasteland, the wasteland of despondency
4.	Zolarentis 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Night of Astrualr magic In dull star light Ritual of creation For horrid aberration Fire lit, chants begin, Blood given, thrown in flames Sacrifice lamb cut off its head Slay the lion, take its maw Sacrifice a man, take his torso Kill the wolf, claim its claws All these parts thrown in the flames, Infernal womb for prince of abyss The birth of a demon His name is Zolarentis Lord of the chimeras of hell
