Lyrics:
Death silently stalks
A sigh upon the wind

With hunger boundless
Beckoned by the hunt
Incessant longing for the sweet taste of fear

Cold and calculated
Fixed in death's gaze
Unknown terrors, insurmountable pain

Defenseless victim
Frozen with fear
Piercing darkness veils the night

Pernicious eyes
Lurking in shadows
The hand of death steadies to smite

Mist of blood chokes the air
Another life laid upon the altar of necessity
Broken is the promise of life everlasting

A slow descent
Expire in torment
Hollow eyes gaze into the void

Flesh ripped from bone
Languid acceptance
Walk towards the darkness alone

Embrace of death
No place for sorrow And only silence follows

Consumed in twilight
A gruesome scene
Lite only thrives alongside violence obscene

Morality only a privilege
When life hangs in the balance of your nightly kill
