The shadow of pestilence invades my every thought  I against I as my soul stands in purgatory  One step from hell  A promise writtin in my own blood  Is my only salvation  Tempting are the hollow shells of the apocalypse  As they revel in their deviance and corruption  The disciples of ancient cities fallen and forged  Anew beckon me, but I have chosen  This life of struggle, a nihilistic world, my enemy  A hardlin that cannot be broken  A new world vision  Suicide, suicide before betrayal  I will not serve this world of abominations  A clandestine evolution  Instead of a pawn you've created a prophet  And I prophesize the destruction of your world
