Descendant 07:08
I’m the descendant of mankind risen to unveil the truth I ascend from the deepest seas towards the abyss, I’m dragging you Behind the moonlight shadows an armless monster reveals magmatic waves burning the seamen’s bodies Why can I breathe? why can I survive? why can’t I drawn? why can’t I sink? Oceanic lights, from afar circling around a marine beast stronger than thousand phantoms from our adrift ships No hope for me and all of you only a high tide, the highest tide I’m waiting for the darkest hours to remove the amphora’s lid Why can I breathe? why can I survive? why can’t I drawn? why can’t I sink?

XLVII 08:04
Dark light, fulfill my destiny I’ve been doomed by a cursed number I will quench my blood lust ‘cause I was born to breath, to kill A murderous instinct flows through my veins a bloodthirsty grin covers my face dark skies as presage of rains drag me into a tragic fate Fortyseven lives I will take fortyseven souls as sacrifice fortyseven times I’ll wield my knife fortyseven bodies will be the price I need one last piece to achieve my masterpiece fortysix were the victims of my lord’s will I’ll come full circle with my death tonight I will offer my soul.

The Plague 07:01
Into the cave buried in darkness beyond the gates an unseen suffering Worship, worship of wandering ghosts The timeless fountain sweats bloody faults the obsidian cavern is filled with bones Plagues, plagues consume their flesh A sacred rite an ancient creed the darkness comes with its earthly plagues.
4.
Black clouds collapse passing through lost cities hiding shameful curses covering unholy worlds The highest shaman beholds faithfuls running away away from their violence as well from their existence Droning-horns resound awakening the inhuman being harming their eardrums the mean fate is sealed The cradle of insanity is an unbearable grief the final doom is reached written by its own left hand.
