Lyrical theme(s): Hatred, death, society
Album: From Your Grave [2005]
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
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 Absence - Necropolis](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pDQEXH2FqX8/mqdefault.jpg)

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
Jen serai la pensée déportée
Jinculquerai la force inextricable
Jen verrai la dernière montée
Janéantirai cet ennemi implacable

Origin: Poland (Dukla (early), Cracow (later))
Lyrical theme(s): Destruction, emotions, armageddon, nihilism
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)

Lyrics
Intro: Mathieu Marcotte
Fragmenté en pièces de pensées
Confiné dans un périple dintemporalité
Dans la gueule de linextinguible domaine
À lappel de la folie
Une beauté meurtrière qui me divise
Revivre auprès de cet piètre emblème qui me méprise
La vengeance en devint mon unique obsession
Aveuglé par sa perfide affliction
Sur terre de cendres
Sur littoral de méandre
Je méchouerai et mabandonnerai
Écroulé en transe exubérante
Vagabondant sur route inexistante
Mon frère inné, mon sauveur brisé
Enfermé dans linhabitat
Rampant, suppliant, pourrissant dans lappauvrissement
Mon esprit mourant entre ciel et dunes
Je renierai, je profanerai, jécorcherai, je dévorerai
Solo 1 : Vincent Savary
Solo 2 : Phil Tougas
La vengeance en devint mon unique obsession
Aveuglé par sa perfide affliction
Sur terre de cendres
Sur littoral de méandre
Et je méchouerai et je mabandonnerai
Le destin dune quête, desservant la bête
Du cri aux rires jusquaux murmures inattendus
Épris dun délire éperdu
Euphorisé par le goût du deuil
Mon frère, je succomberai et embrasserai le seuil
Recroquevillé dans son antre, consumé, un être mutilé
De mes mains souillées, jai vu sa vie glisser
Ingérant la chair de mon congénère
La faim justifie les moyens
Je ne serai quultimement lauteur de sa misérable fin
emîbal snad tnalucsaB
tnaviv érovéD
Ecnaegnev as ed tnemurtsnil euq iares en eJ
Je refis surface en un être consumé, infesté de cette animosité
