Willing vessel, filled with the cosmos
Unveiling power, living resource fused
Rediscovered
Alone in the shadows, while connected to a deeper well
Interlaced with the ancient
Final fate, third trial
Win or lose, Once and for all
Anchored to the unity
That is found at the end of time
Keys to a future of reason denied
Backed in a corner, animal trapped, eyes wild
Opened the mind
To fill the voids at all states of being
and all levels of existence
With an Expansion from Perceived Reality
Into the wide certainty of truth
Befallen by a vacuum of lies
Now fighting blind, as if held down while the enemy flies
Overwhelmed by not just evil but an ancient crime
Expansion from Perceived Reality
Strength of nature, Saviour/destruction combined
Between life and death, As waning grains of sand

Blackened Chaos Horizon

into the maelstrom, turbulence given form
tragic outlook, blackened chaos horizon
Child of forgotten holocaust
Alien blood spilled, while memories lost
On the altar of oppressing the other
Inherit Darane svatura
Thrown to the wolves
Victim of betrayal
My people suffered
The blight of extreme prejudice
Blackened chaos horizon
Facing extinction
By the devouring
Living Armaya
All I have ever known
Chovexani learned the craft
Enhanced potency by darker arts
Pact was made with celestial beings
Beyond our meager understanding
Vision to come shaped it so
Damning risk born from desperation
Into the maelstrom, turbulence given form
Tragic outlook, blackened chaos horizon

Berlin Falling
07:36
|
|||
|
Broken defences at Seelow Heights
Encircled by impending doom
Three front attack across the Oder-Neisse line
was the beginning of the end
Call for a final stand, of defiance
To stop the red horde at the walls
Fuhrer, coward, unwilling to face justice
Intent on death, it is too sweet a reward
Berlin falling, Third Reich crumbling
Even though the head was cut from the beast
Relentless shelling had brought the city to its knees
No escape from brutal conquerors
That like to call themselves liberators
Defenders had fled
With the hope of safe surrender
Shock fighters work their way street to street
Only delaying certain defeat
Clash of merciless ideologies
That stand not so far apart
But only one can win this day
And hoist the flag to declare victory
When Exchanging for a new totalitarian rule
Then who it is makes no difference to you

Zentrum der neuen Welt
05:41

Assault on the fortress heart
Ancestral home of the crooked cross
Symbolized by a black sun
Heinrich's crypt burst open
Zentrum der neuen Welt
You are no sorcerer king
To frayed strands of sanity you cling
Hollow earth theory proven a false thing
Yet a hollow universe is found in your ideals
and in the death's head is finally revealed
How the mind works beneath an esoteric enemy
scientific perversion spawned this lawless entity
Battle at the center of a world pushed off its axis
Choosing the right moment to engage cataclysmic nexus
Taking the fight into the pit
Where evil dwells in twisted light
Surrounded in nature's corruption
Rationality gone, long overtaken
Blessed by Gaia's child, channeling hyperion
Escaping mutual ruin, Third eye open wide
Zentrum der neuen Welt, destroyed

Introspective journey
In the colours of a subconscious tower
Seeing through a grim kaleidoscope of untapped power
Science and myth collide
Reaching out for maternal advice
Calm that would never last
Enlightenment comes at an unexpected price
Pillar supports the weight of heavens
The more you search, the less you find
Residing on a forbidden shelf
Severing the Last Strands of Self
As are dreams formed in fertile ground
Emerge from the flatland to extended perspective

The Long War
13:06
|
|||
|
Enemy, on a mission of last resort
Weaponised in greatest secrecy
Faithless charge toward binding destiny
Willing to lose everything... forever
in the wake of escaping, submarine tracing
Only standing party of the Tripartite Pact
Delivering the spear of the gods to unit 731
Delve into darkness for the final act
Underground storm, seek out and destroy
with a kempeitai escort
the lone wolf awaits, willing to die
and collapsing the world on itself
Unconditional surrender ignored
Killed by silence
Prompt and utter destruction
Would follow soon enough
A covert plan to force the rising sun to set
Culpable Emperor
Prime mover, who yet may die in peace
Not descended from Amaterasu
A mere symptom of the long war
...against nature
In a rare moment of peace
Granted a welcome reprieve
To count the cost of all we lost
Through sacrifice, preserve a legacy
Return this tired vessel to the deep
Dared to hope before a cruel new dawn
Superfortress in the skies overhead
A silver lined tomb delivering
A thankless hero’s doom
Realise the scale of betrayal
Too dangerous to contain
And so the creature must be slain
Neutralised
Rendered
Undone
Harnessing the weight of the gods
In the hands of a few, unworthy men
Conscience dispersed
Sunken cities, hidden, remain
Latent might, dormant once again
for Petrus T. Steele
