2.	Break The Palace Gates 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Sleeping Villages Cattle to slaughter They're only peasants Sons and Daughters Seize the heads of the leeching kings End the reign of man, Enter night as beasts The Fog descends bringing plague and disease Our last sunset, Our final feast This is the truth of the conqueror's peace Heads upon spikes upon pyres in the streets Mothers raped while their children hang from trees While kings drink and dine in the warmth of their keeps
3.	Poisoned Depths (Realm of the Serpent KIng) 04:22	lyrics	buy track
The poisoned, sprawling depths Made home by the shunned diseased Left to rot by gods of old Born in the pit of the blighted blood My first breath a noxious fume A life as nothing in the gutters end Cradled in a festering womb Given life in exchange for death Coiled Serpent of mortals bane Strike down the false king of man By thine fanged venom crown Guide us beyond the pale Fog O, shepherd of the sick Bleed us of mortal sin Wash away our hideous life In the blessed venom of thy kiss Drink deep the waters of endless life Be man no more, Rise Sacrifice to the Serpent King To end the mortals reign Throw yourself in the defiled pit Die and live again

5.	First the Peasant, Last The King 04:10	lyrics	buy track
A gasp of blood, The choking stench My struggles end, With my last breath A feeble cough, A feeble wretch It's a cruel fate, A dance with death One way or another the suffering must end Pray away the poison, Pray to end the plights of men They know not the hand that guides them It's twisted machinations They know not the lies of the prophecy The cause of Nature's corruption Uncrowned, dragged in chains Last of my line, End of my reign Bloodthirsty mobs, the headsman swings The King is dead, Long live the King Offer his head to the serpent King...
6.	Deprived 02:49	lyrics	buy track
Left to the wastes Fate has no use for me Death with no face Murder with no meaning If I don't exist You will have never lived If I am no one You are something less Born with no face, with no shame or remorse Wandering naked in fire and dark Cast in the depths where the light cannot reach Plotting my vengeance on humaity I am god's justice Blind with no empathy Sent to pass judgement On worthless human beings Born with nothing Into nothing I am no one You are nothing Returned to the void Corpses piled up in graves No one to mourn No vigils for tortured slaves You don't exist You will have never lived I will go on The deprived always persist I am god's justice Blind with no empathy Sent to pass judgement On worthless human beings I am called Deprived But I am without need Devoid of emotion Without ideology Born with nothing Into nothing I am no one You are nothing

8.	The Healing 07:28	lyrics	buy track
Praise the Plague! All is cleansed On man and beast The Fog descends Praise the Plague! All is pure The human race Can war no more Praise the Plague! All is free The Serpent's Curse The Prophecy Praise the Plague! All is true The disease is cured The disease was you Praise the Plague!
