Lyrics
Intro: Phil Tougas
Étant la racine de cette évoquante cime
En état de complète contemplation
Je ne pourrai vivre qu'éphémèrement
Condamné à la loi du plus résistant
L'extériorisation, imparfaite, inconsciente, intolérable
L'intériorisation, l'harmonie en parcimonie
S'effondrant au couvert des mégalomanistes
D'un retournement sans merci, nous nous consumerons
Criant famine
Reclus dans la décroissance
L'exclusion de notre souche en territoire instable
De l'espoir, nous dériverons dans nos torts
Du désespoir, nous ne ferons qu'en revenir plus forts
Je suis et je resterai l'être de cette arborescence
De la descendance des gardiens j'en ferai volte-face vers l'ultime réminiscence
Puis renié, dans cet infâme domaine, dispersé
Survivant de la mise à mort, substitué
Je suis l'épidémie, fauchant la vie des profanateurs
Je suis la mort, survolant les limbes de l'horreur
Ma peau, ravagée, en lambeaux, arrachée
Mes entrailles, explosées
Dévoré et putréfié en toute impunité
D'une irréversible infection
D'une emprise sur mon métabolisme
Un habitat désolé, l'emblème de ce guet-apens
Croulant sous l'emprise de l'hécatombe, m'évadant
Je m'abandonne, sur la piste de l'euphorie
Je m'essouffle sur cette mince ligne en totale léthargie
Je rampe dans le sentier de l'angoisse
Je m'y noie dans l'abîme de l'extase
Tel en phase, m'en extirpant qu'en impasse
L'ennemi aux portes, je bondi
Assailli, je moleste et je blesse
Je tue et je déchiquette
Je trie et je reconstruis
Du grand art, une oeuvre de chair d'êtres
Une oeuvre de remords pour dépêtre
L'apparat d'un quidam, un éloge au miasme déchu
L'habit qu'il me fallu pour redevenir l'être que je fus

Origin: Canada (Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec)
Lyrical theme(s): Society, Rebellion
Album: The Consequences of Silence [2008]
Song: 05 - Plague of Corruption
Lyrics
Controlling the mass
Writing our fate with their sins
Society as a whole
Worthless being
This is the consequence of silence
Sealing our desecration
The more it goes, the more they control
Lets terminate this process
We must unite together and kill the wave
Omnipresent opression that keeps us low
Beneath the surface, plague of corruption
Submission obedience is no solution
Theyve alredy done too mush to get away with this
Dont we deserve any better
Time fir the truth has arrived
Naivety has come to an end
Were on the verge of rebellion
Voluntary omission
Of what we should know
Make them feel superior
Aborted evolution
Of humanity
Only one solution
Today well stop the plague

Lyrics
Im blamed for normal life
I want to get away from shadow and cry
My frozen heart is like a stone
Is like a stone on the depth of lake
Sadness is my normal feeling
Night is a day for me
Im slave of a mortal things
Sacrificed to the northern winds
Dark boat of my sceptic life
Is floating away to a paradise
I talk to myself
I think about the end
Death is my only friend
Evil is my only choice
I stand on the edge
I wait for the end
Deaths my destination
My way is going to hell Sceptic - Sceptic](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o1_zy3dBcIE/mqdefault.jpg)

Song: 03 - Necropolis
Lyrics
To ashes We fall
paralyzed and demoralized
from unhallowed voices upon the wind
breathing in Our damnation
Unleashing the hordes to immolate
and the darkened angels to decimate
the burning within Our chests
all Our futures laid to rest
Necropolis
these hearts of decay
a crown, buried on the heads of the damning Necropolis these hearts of
decay a crown, buried on the heads of the damning
The shadows frenzy around the weak
a light from the blur is dimming bleak
where We face our battles won
wings to ride in the blistered sun
Where the voices are drowning
into a sea of despair
until They rise above
with bloodied fists in the air
Necropolis
these hearts of decay
a crown, buried on the heads of the damning Necropolis these hearts of
decay a crown, buried on the heads of the damning
A march upon perdition
while We storm the gates from hell to heaven This march upon perdition
while We storm the gates from hell to heaven

Lyrics
Nos couleurs étant notre fierté
Notre cri étant invulnérable
Nos héritages étant sacrés
Notre rage étant incurable
Jen serai la pensée déportée
Jinculquerai la force inextricable
Jen verrai la dernière montée
Janéantirai cet ennemi implacable
Nous en verrons la levée, effervescents
De la source de cette épidémie
Nous en deviendrons saturés, omnipotents
De linévitable déclin, de omni re scibili
Telle la lame, infligeant le courroux, irrévocablement
Tel le pacte, remémorant la misère de nos pères
Telles les lamentations, résonnant dans labîme, insatiablement
Tels les parjures, contaminant le domaine de nos terres
Mon frère darmes, forcé dans lenrôlement
Nous serons séparés, dans lironie de notre serment
Engagés dans la bataille de mille ans
Le retrouvant dans le dernier acte de lévènement
Notre conscience par dessus nos actes
Notre existence par dessous notre pacte
Solo 1 : Phil Tougas
En temps de guerre, fécondera leulogie
En tant que frère, jen rependrai lélégie
En tant que gardien, en découlera la catatonie
Tant détats de temps étant si contradictoire
Solo 2 : Vincent Savary
Die Vorbereitende Fundamentalanalyse des Daseins
Nous en verrons la levée, effervescents
Vers la source de cette épidémie
Nous en deviendrons saturés, omnipotents
Vers le déclin, inévitable, de omni re scibili
Telle la lame, infligeant le courroux, irrévocablement
Tel le pacte, remémorant la misère de nos pères
Telles les lamentations, résonantes dans labîme, insatiablement
Tels les parjures, menantes au domaine de limpair
Nos couleurs étant notre fierté
Notre cri étant invulnérable
Nos héritiers étant sacrés
Notre rage étant incurable

Album: My Guardian Anger [1999]
Song: 07 - Library on Fire
Lyrics
Ive walked thousand miles and I didnt move at all
Ive found thousand paths and I never knew where to go
Ive never been allowed to breathe the sweet winds of Carmel
cant you Omniscient One foresee the coming storm?
I spend each hundred years erasing your footsteps
Like a mad architect Ive build the walls out of air
Your wounds were never deep enough
To hide the Question and the Fear
My wounds were always the sacrifice
For the blind Beast of Labyrinth
Forbidden Fruit on Fire
One Name
One God
One Man
this makes me sure
Ialdabaoth
what a painful certainty
Adonai
How safe do you feel hidden behind
letters, ciphers, numbers, names?
Take my vile burnt offering
If there is a death - I am your Death
through this flames I resurrect
spirits injured with ink and paper
Aeons once decapitated
with the scissors of Highest Censor
I set the Library ablaze
I kiss the curse of wisdom goodbye Lux Occulta - Library on Fire](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s-KRXTD3MIA/mqdefault.jpg)
