The Apotheosis of Death

by Exordium Mors

1.
Satan....Master.. Rejoice in Blasphemy
2.
Slumbering in the abyss, murky visions of death Gasping for air, inhaling my last breath Crucified to the earth, by the sign of the Goat The cold steel chain, gripped tight around my throat Lucid I awake, no longer a nightmare The black monks expressionless, as I am made brutally aware The startling revelation, that I am but carrion To the birds above, a cruel death for a barbarian Begging to the gods, for their holy mercy But for my blasphemy, they forbade me Torment and torture, beyond belief I scream out in vain, for my release I shall become, their unholy feast To those foul, crooked, feathered beasts Awaiting the true horror, no longer can I pretend Still alive, as the vultures descend Pre-Chorus: (You will fall!) Down towards an impious earth of unspeakable blasphemy (There you will see!) Unimaginable despair and cruelty beyond corporeal suffering (One will stand!) Upon the precipice of life and death, a revenant will rise in doom (The Cosmos shall burn!) Sentenced the traitorous swine to endless darkness and gloom Chorus: You will never see, the burning darkness that devours, an inverted Jacob’s Ladder for the Apotheosis of Death The Sol Invictus devoid, slitting his throat triumphantly, bereft of life, suffocating on his last blood-curdled breath In all its blasphemy, nothing will be left save ash, in the cosmos created by the Apotheosis of Death Upon the throne of victory, those who are too weak, shall eternally bleed in torment in Hades beneath Staring out, with vacant eyes My spirit wretched, from my flesh Solemnly the black monks, stare jeeringly Excruciatingly, as the shedding of skin begins atrociously Beyond all hope, my life extinguished As my bones are naught but the birds’ excrement Seeking solstice, in the reign of the vultures descent Upon Jacob’s Ladder, I shall ascend Pre-Chorus: (You will fall!) Down towards an impious earth of unspeakable blasphemy (There you will see!) Unimaginable despair and cruelty beyond corporeal suffering (One will stand!) Upon the precipice of life and death, a revenant will rise in doom (The Cosmos shall burn!) Sentenced the traitorous swine to endless darkness and gloom Chorus: You will never see, the burning darkness that devours, an inverted Jacob’s Ladder for the Apotheosis of Death The Sol Invictus devoid, slitting his throat triumphantly, bereft of life, suffocating on his last blood-curdled breath In all its blasphemy, nothing will be left save ash, in the cosmos created by the Apotheosis of Death Upon the throne of victory, those who are too weak, shall eternally bleed in torment in Hades beneath Demonic laughter, at my own insanity At the total absurdity of my life draining before me Spitting catatonic, upon the crooked face of death Lungs collapsing, I shall become one with violence I shall become, the hammer of doom Damn mankind, like a stillborn in the womb The despair of humanity, the bane of existence Vultures descend, I shall become one with violence Wielding black death, the downfall of hypocrisy The torrential waters, of Acheron shall flow within me The black monks, established weakness Embodying the rage, I shall become one with violence Smite the disease of spirit, by becoming one with death The disembodied souls, deceived into shacklement The cosmos must burn, manically, I must transcend Upon the inverted Jacob’s Ladder, I descend...

Whispers of my enemies long dead echo around me I beg not for forgiveness or their venomous mercy My mortal coil crushed into pieces like my broken bones The conquering spirit ignited in its destructive glory "Through Emaciated Flesh, I arise..." Forsaken and alone, (I gaze upon) the emptiness of space The stars in their wickedness taunting me like my enemies I shall drink from their skulls and destroy their legacy Transmutation through flesh, let this wolf of Romulus ascend I am a sworn enemy of all that is holy My legacy will be my immortality.......arise the Ouroboros in Flames x2 As the swarm of vultures pursues Rapidly my life is consumed...... arise the Ouroboros in Flames x2 Upon the Precipice of Life and Death, I rise in this accursed ground To the bonded chains of flesh, I am no longer bound I was born of this earth and soon this torment will end A revenant beyond flesh, this wolf of Romulus shall ascend Crawling back from the depths (ON WINGS OF DEATH) An agonising rebirth as I climb the Jacob's Ladder All of my mortal fibre seek out the will to power! Let this wolf of Romulus descend In vengeance, I arise through vanquished flesh None shall mourn for the disgraced dead Let this wolf of Romulus descend The Ouroboros will arise in flames (ON WINGS OF DEATH) Entombed in Ashes this world shall be Transmutated through flesh (ON WINGS OF DEATH) Sacrifice, perish and demise am I Viciously the vultures tear at my broken flesh Bow down to the Apotheosis of Death Let this wolf of Romulus descend My half-eaten carcass a sacrifice to the earth Bear witness to this glorious rebirth Let this wolf of Romulus descend The slaves shall echo my ethos (ON WINGS OF DEATH) Let this wolf of Romulus descend...(UNTO THEIR FLESH) x2 "Through Emaciated Flesh, I arise." "Through Vanquished Flesh, I arise."

Conqueror of Death....no longer bound to the flesh I seek out those traitors....spineless idolatries Their sacrificial blood smeared... a weak cult unrevered The Earth is my altar...the weak consumed in slaughter Chorus: Salvation! Achieved through attrition, the mortal coils...scattered like ashes Transgression! This plight of man, is trampled upon...like weak lambs Execution! Venomous vermin is driven upon... their blood smears the skies Procession! The Mars Invictus alight in victory as the corpse of your divinity now burns In the cries of the condemned...through sacrifice I ascend Consume thy mortal coils...through eternal struggle and toil Ravaged the feeble flesh... the pious put to death Out of the chaos born....a new age of strength dawns Chorus Death I have overcome and a glorious standard I shall forever be Extinguishing the holy flame of their theology, of their hypocrisy Through violence I was born, through their deaths I ascend. As worms writhing in the invincible sun, disillusioned in their miasma The suffering of fools shackled to their idiot disease, put to the hammer! Traitors shall be nothing but dust beneath my feet The mockery of your constitutions Paupers spit on your forsaken ethos As your marble temples burn In defiance I reign supreme As vultures descend on carrion As wolves devour the weak The worms will never ascend Flesh burns against the conquering spirit Ecce Homo Superior Through the miasma A new dawn awakens Upon the Spirit of Man Ouroborus ever consuming the eternal flames of your divinity Drenched in thine enemies blood, proclaiming our victory Lepers of spirit - put to the flame Slitting the Sol Invictus' throat, plunging the world into a new enlightenment The Death of the Gods, the Death of Man's depravement A barbarian once was I, a conqueror of gods and men now stands before you!

Riding forth on wings of death Vengeance consumes my very breath Iconoclast of weakness Unto the Lightning Swords of Conquest Chorus: Rejoice in blasphemy As we ascend through conquered flesh And the traitors are put to the flame The Mars Invictus stands unconquered Sacrifice, perish and demise Your divinity stripped from your flesh Within the twilight of humanity Lightning swords usher the new age Cleansed in blood and iron Worship Mars Invictus! Brothers! Unite yourselves in fire Test your might upon the funeral pyre Scorn thine eyes of deceit Broken thy shackles of defeat Lead the weak to the furnace Thy will be merciless An epitaph of destruction and unrest Arise! Lightning Swords of Conquest Chorus Let's set the fucking night on fire! Let's make the fucking heavens bleed! Let's bring this fucking universe to its knees! Behold! The flames of indignation burn eternal Behold! The Chaos Dragon giving birth to Order Behold! The doctrines of old condemned in fire Behold! Iconoclasm cleansed in molten steel Grief-stricken mothers shall weep, forsaken eternal Through this age of steel and blood for blood These corrupt and bloated Elysian Fields must burn Drink from the cup of chaos and taste triumphant victory Behold! The lightning swords of conquest Behold! The dawn of man's awakening Behold! This pact of steel made flesh Behold! Humanity's triumph in fire The old men speak of peace, but peace is for the dead One whom seeks immortality, must never strive for peace Smash the holy tablets of this accursed faith, reclaim our fate An Apotheosis towards Mars Invictus is to conquer death itself As we stand Upon the Precipice Of Life and Death Exalted are we Crowned infinity Our Apotheosis A triumphant victory

Will languish no longer The winds of war are calling To subjugate, to conquer To bring an end to Man's suffering As feathered serpents We come to raze these temples Set alight these places of worship In strife and discord we are born Slit the throats of those whom pray Condemn their bodies to a shallow grave Drag their shameful corpses beneath our heels In contemptuous pride Chorus: Strike the flesh! Heed thy call! Chaos rising! Heed thy call! I go cold turkey on the masses' opiate And I will not submit I give no quarter to these domesticated dogs Salivating at the taste of their own shit Destroy their bloodlines, smash them against the rocks Wrought terrible retribution This grand descent of flames The wailing of the women The execution of slaves Glorious exaltation of ravaged flesh The winds of war are calling me Beckoning towards conquest and glory Chorus Within the flames of battle We are born triumphant Strike the flesh! Chaos rising! In your transect Venus grant me power To become the Chaos star The star of mourning The impregnable fortress The iconoclastic flame To strike as a serpent A soul made of molten iron Warriors of tempestuous steel Arisen through smoke and ash Within the flames of battle We are born triumphant Arise! O'Warriors of the Flame My brothers of smoke and ash Plunderers and Marauders Victorious....mighty! Let the iniquitous blood flow Rain terror upon our enemies In unholy retribution and chaos We are one Your tyranny has given birth to a Chaos star Legions have heeded the call And through everlasting suffering We are born in fire and triumph We are born... In fire and triumph... Fire Fire Fire Triumph The inner wolf has been caged for far too long In ash and embers, one must become the strong Witnessing the destruction of an epoch gone wrong... Bear witness to a smouldering Chaos star Boundless this anthem shall be heard afar And through everlasting suffering, We are.... (We are...) FIRE AND TRIUMPH!

Abandon All Hope "Through me you pass into the city of woe... Through me you pass into eternal pain... Through me you go amongst the lost people... Eternal, and eternal I shall endure... Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes!" Chorus: ABANDON ALL HOPE (x2) Bow before us in violent supplication ABANDON ALL HOPE (x2) For you have entered a realm of no remorse ABANDON ALL HOPE (x2) Your soul enthralled in exalted conflagration ABANDON ALL HOPE (X2) Strike your flesh until it bears the mark of Exordium Mors Devoutly the masses enter Cursed, damned wraiths devoid of life Bloodshed about to ignite Sanctified ground made holy no more Chorus In libation, our blood is spilt Mercilessly the wraiths devour Enraptured by our unholy power Violence enthroned in chaos supreme "Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes!" Servants of the sanguinary Dominated by our incendiary Suffer the barbaric onslaught This vile, wretched horde The enfeebled are consumed Condemned into servitude Flesh scourged bearing the sign of Exordium Mors... Violence consecrated upon flesh Demonic devotion given breath Baptised in Phelegethon Hailing To Mega Therion Our pestilent horde extricated The bloodletting venerated Undying breath forever hailing Exordium Mors... From the dead marshes of the Underworld This legion of destruction shall engulf the living A Phalanx of death and decay unfurled With the fervour of battle, we wield our axes high All Pantheons, all structures shall be razed A scorched earth left in its wake No women, no child, no priest shall be saved And all that shall remain is the bloody sign of Exordium Mors Suffocating death and darkness spread across the land The stench of death and decay, running through our veins Kings and emperors shall perish by our hands As they fall beneath our bloodied blades No mercy, no atonement, no remorse Just mangled corpses upon mountains of decomposing flesh Be forewarned for when you see Exordium Mors Abandon all fucking hope!

"Et tu, Brutus..." Face me coward This is my declaration of war The die hath being cast The Gates of Janus split open The Ides of March Forsaken and bloody Sink the blade into your tyranny Cut out your sanctimonious heart I may be condemned For all eternity Banished for treachery The burden of your existence I will usher in a new age At the destruction of my own Branded and accursed These temples must burn I am the vengeance Amongst opposition I remain steadfast Unwavering disposition Penetrate the flesh Retribution in hate No words of mercy Shall halt your fate I am a traitor To life's existence Hear now these words Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis' Chorus: For I am He.... Blade of Brutus (x2) In arrogant pride I relish the deed Dignity denied I piss upon your grave Prostrate before me And submit to your death Now the world will see That a god still bleeds I am a traitor To life's existence Here now these words Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis' Chorus The glory of your kingdom Crestfallen and defeated as your withered body 23 wounds of cold animosity With this I submit your life disgorged and disembodied And I will submit to no god No man, no master from this wretched existence Deny you existence 23 bloody curses Discord amongst the senate Destruction of the righteous An undignified death Summons you to your grave Adversarial Your life held in contempt Denied a burial No tears shall be wept (Blade, Blade, Blade of Brutus) If this divinity means life Then cast me an apostate Brand me the conspirator An enemy of the state Forsaken actions But I bear no shame Unhallowed words I spit upon your name The masses may sing About your graces Those that presume their king Shall die by my hand Although my life Is soon to end I remain the knife That ends all sacrosanct Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis' I'll carry this to my grave Extinguish now my existence With this accursed blade At the cost of my own life And the destruction of an era No more words can you offer To stop the wheels of fate History forever changed As the plebs cry out in vain Doomed sceleratus Set their temples aflame The die hath being cast I stand by my convictions And if I must stand alone Then I shall prosper in their hatred One will rise again To sink the blade Amongst the dying flames Of another era condemned to death My life now forfeit As I submit to death I remain a traitor To all of life's existence A traitor to life's existence... (Sworn 'sic semper tyrannis'...)
