The Awakening
04:19

Time stood still to embrace this masterpiece
It erased my past, all it left was this beauty
A creation unfathomable to the human eye
Strip away from your soul and you will see it
Producing a self efficient being
A foundation to stand upon, and look down at the world
Look beneath your feet and feel the earth move
This era will not withstand this grace of life
No clocks no more time
No conception of reality any more
This sphere is a figment, it's just a scratch
At the surface of this plain known as what is real
WAKE UP before it's too late
WAKE UP before the end is nigh
WAKE UP before it's all gone
WAKE UP or else we all die
Our ancestors survived without annihilation
Open your eyes and witness mass destruction
This thing of beauty we call home won't survive much longer
Repair and Rebuild
Mindless intelligence, slumber awoken
This reality was stripped away as time stood still
I wondered and gazed at this world
Survival is key, to save humanity
Changes must be made
Producing a self efficient being
A foundation to stand upon
And look down at the world
Look beneath your feet and feel the earth
Survival is key, to save humanity
Changes must be made
Changes must be made

Healer / Deceiver
03:47
|
|

Trained for all his life to save the sick and diseased
His mask will keep him free from plagues
But how long can he save himself for?
The brink of madness is never far out of reach
Compiling sadness until feeling incomplete
Standing on the edge of reality
Waiting for the end to insanity
Sustained his life, with sacrifice of thousands of souls
He hangs his head, remembers the dead
No shame for self gain
No shame for self gain
Increasing the levels of evil inside, a good man no longer resides
These sacrifices are evil
The greed for knowledge is no excuse
They're evil
Although he devoted his life to saving lives, he took more than he can count
This changes a man deep down inside
The beast will release this shell of a man crumbles
A healer of great renown
The Fascination of life conquering secrets
The desire for immortal life
Maddening, experimenting
His soul tampered, watching him struggle, urging the cravings
An immortal body with a sullied soul
The greed for knowledge no longer hidden
Releasing the killer
The greed for knowledge no longer hidden
Release the killer
Starving for more, the hunger never ends
The greed for knowledge, it never ends

Celestial Being

Emersion to save this dying world
Please lift all these curses, fix all our faults
The wrong in our lives brought to a halt
The saviour, celestial being
New messiah born amongst abyss
New realms wow opened to us
We can end our search, the answer’s right here
You can mend our scars, please end this suffering
Pure joy fills our hearts, you're saving this world that we hold dear
I am thankful for your creation
These realms we've accessed have saved our home
No more pain and no more fights
Undoing avarice
Scared to death
I thought we were goners
That absurd feeling of being sick to my stomach
No longer do we need to pay off these villains
These criminals that we used call saviours
This celestial being has changed this world
Opened the door to make things anew
I was sick of watching my home fall to pieces
But now we'll repair and we'll rebuild this earth
Repair and rebuild this earth
No more sick and no more poor
Return to the depths
Our gratitude of the highest form for our saviour

Compelled To Suffer
04:07
|
|
||
|
Do you know who you are anymore?
The mind becomes numb from your addiction that you must feed before it feeds on you and leaves an empty shell
Lifeless, No chance of escaping now
Self induced coma
Compelled to suffer
You went way too far but you chose this life
Compelled to suffer by your own hands
You chose this life
Combining substance to bring your end
And when it doesn't work?
Try again
It's a daily repeat
You should look back, on all you've done
All you've wasted
You won't believe the price of addiction
You have wasted your precious life, and what for?
A temporary high?
You have wasted what could have been something better
Just something else
Anything but this
You could have been something better
Anything but this
It doesn't stop there
Between the drugs you fuel yourself
With cigarettes and beer to lower your life levels to the lowest point
Wake up and take a look at yourself
You are a waste of space
Reconsider your life choices
Before it's too late

The Dance Of Species
03:13
|
|

|
Beneath the planet’s core lays waste to all that was
Millions of years passed by in the blink of an eye
So much progress in so little time
Eradication of all that could not survive
Evolution was rebuilding life
It's succession will be its undoing when the time comes
The creation of humanity, thought to be “God’s” greatest gift
A beautiful planet to reside on, a place to call home
Left unattended and built to destroy
Never be repaired, cos we're pushing to the end
Of our own time, we've only got this fucking life
Don't rely on God to fix this mess
He's just made up
It's up to us or else there's nothing left
Is this what you want?! I don't think so
No place to call your home any-fucking-more
I can't stand this thing called humanity
Trafficking children into the arms of debauchery
Time moved on but there's still slavery
Government stealing all our money
while people pray to nothing
Killing animals by the billions,
dumping plastic in our oceans
It's time to wake up because overpopulation has strived to birth a new breed of filth
I want to eradicate all of you
I will never turn a blind eye
I will never turn a blind eye
I will never turn a blind eye to scum like you
I fucking hate everything that you do
Who knew that our world could be this fucked up?
Eradicate, Educate and start anew

Descendants
03:02

|

Our descendants dedication
Their names unknown
Inquire as you please
You shall not hear them if you ever read their tale
You'll ask more questions than they'll care to answer
An ancestor values a secret for itself
The congenial exercise of keeping it
These engaging images will meddle with your dreams
What was once sadness is now a pleasant reminder
As the sun shines down upon the summit of the hills
Here begins your story of many adventures to come as time goes by...
As time goes by you'll become this callous being that you once questioned
For someone who craved these things
You thought you would be different but the journey changes you
To become one the same
You emit sorrow upon your departure
They can reminisce all of the laughter and the good times as you now lose it all
Becoming so indifferent
To come from a background much resilient
Now they unbosom their curious minds to you
You turn a blind eye
Just as you witnessed in the past
They'll show animosity and endure
You will object that you are innocent
For what is a brief transition to the depth
No room for remorse in the darkness of hell

The Fear Of Sorrow
04:45
|
|
||
|
I can't stand this any more
Purest misery, this agony inside of me
Hiding how you truly feel to those you love, to those you hate
Builds up inside needing to release
Repent these feelings, great amounts of regret
Your past is the past, for you are yourself because of it
We're all surrounded by our demons, they have control
They destroy our minds but not our hearts
We must escape from it
We’re all surrounded
A true beauty hidden from ourselves
It's not in our nature to move on but you must because...
It feeds on this fear, the fear of sorrow
Leading to regret
Consuming all you hold dear
Consuming all
Hiding’s all we've ever known and every person is each to their own
But no one will open up
Express feelings
We've all made mistakes
There's no fixing this by yourself
Will I ever be myself again?
I am a shell filled with remorse
I am a vessel mourning each day intervene
These demons are holding me against my will
A true beauty hidden from ourselves
It's not in our nature to move on but you must because
It feeds on this fear, the fear of sorrow
Leading to regret
Consuming all you hold dear
Consuming all

Desperation Dear
04:04
|
|
||
|
Leaders of the world have you lost your minds?
For what you’ve done, there’ll be no forgiveness this time
Don’t you think that the people have been through enough?
Where is your limit? Where is your end?
They try to express how they feel, and you ignore
Stand your ground, show them what you’re good for
As futile as it may seem we are all condemned to this misery
Desperation dear
Grip me tightly, never let me go
Grasping for breath. I take my last
Hiding in the dark
Cannot hold back
Your tendency to leave while others reconcile
They’re fixing the world's problems while you sit there scared
You’re all alone
Desperation dear
Grip me tightly, never let me go
This time there's no forgiveness for what you’ve done
Leaving this war to innocent people
Fix this fucking mess
How can you expect to fight demons, when you can’t even fight your own?
It’s not just a battle, this situation
It’s a war that has no end
Breathe it in
The stench of death, it fills your lungs, your corpse decays
There’s no messiah to fix this mess
Idealistic idiots, open your eyes
This day has dawned, the earth still spins
But for how much longer?

Covetous Hearts
05:08
|
|
||
|
Starting something which will be misled
To be for the greater good
Instead it places you on piles of riches
With hidden secrets that could save lives
Dishonesty has its source in the covetousness of the human heart
Greed consumes us all
Those destined will surely fall
Grasping and Longing these covetous hearts
These covetous hearts
A charity that promises to save lives
That false hope of hoping to find a cure
Why release a cure for something that creates millions
The mass loss of families
They could have saved their lives, they could have saved sanity
They’ll save those that they choose
Keeping this hidden is a public execution
The top dogs, best known for their facade
Millions in their pocket, and own expensive cars
You donate your hard earned money
You are deceived, you pay their wages
Pray the day never comes, you beg for the cure
You'll be taken in, your hair will thin
And you'll be fed, lie after lie until you die
Deception, ascendancy.
A life of larceny
These falsifiers are living a life of wealth for the cost of your health
Their fortune will be your misfortune
Greed consumes us all
Those destined will surely fall
Grasping and Longing these covetous hearts
I'm longing for my covetous heart

The Cleansing
03:04
|
|
||
|
Dirty, shameless and no remorse
Ruin the innocent, take them all for yourself
The worst ones savour it, or end up killing them
The courts are too blind to this crime
Let off with a warning to commit again and again
I'll take action with my bare hands and every one of their miserable lives
Some of them try to repent
Some of them await death row
Some of them castrate themselves
But none of them deserve to live
You could have chose a normal life
Instead preyed on the innocent, tied up and sexually abused
Filling hard drives with hundreds of nudes
Of something so shameful, it's time to repent for all you have done in your lifetime
Let’s shorten that life, the life you don't deserve
Stop breathing this air that I breathe
I'll make you suffer for all eternity
You make me fucking sick don't act so high and mighty
I'll fucking end your life
AND GET AWAY WITH IT
Mother fucker
No one will miss your pathetic excuse for an existence
Another number on the chart
Another lifeless corpse on the pile
One of the worst of all walks a free man
I'll slit his ankles to change this situation
Take enjoyment from watching him suffer
Like his victims who suffer daily
Geoffrey you're a dead man
No more proud paedophiles
Their bodies will lie in my wake

Death Pending
04:02
|
|

Twelve dreams for the Red Queen under the crown of stone
Eight voracious beasts born from eight restless nights
Four nails piercing the flesh of the sinner
One prayer for summoned called by this song
A righteous snare to keep mankind from ascending to the stars
Mortality was believed to be god's punishment
Since the apple was plucked from the sacred tree
They were all wrong
Death is not a wicked thing
Is this her inhabitants last dance?
Alone to face death and pestilence
Confronted by the eerie and unknown
Mortals became desperate for answers
A flocks flight makes for an omen
The falling of a star
A dire presage turning to priests for interpretation
When religion failed men turn to science
I saw them build such vain cities, crafting machines made for endless war
New questions flourished as old answers withered
What is darkness but lurking sun?
What is wall but enslaved stone?
What is glass but tortured sand?
What is song but a call to arms?
What is hate but jilted love?
What is life but death pending?
Life is just death pending
A righteous snare to keep mankind from ascending to the stars
Mortality was believed to be god's punishment
Since the apple was plucked from the sacred tree
They were all wrong
Death is not a wicked thing
Nor some holy retribution
A true punishment would be to never know
It's sweet kiss, awake from the harshness and be born once more.

The Red Flower
04:58
|
|
||
|
The fall, it's the last thing I remember
Memories tear apart my soul
Consumed by the endless burning fire my body turns again to ashes
Revealing ruined bones, I'm falling to the darkest place
Where light causes pain, and darkness brings solace into a place which deprives one of faith
Erases memories which leads to madness and effaces the boundary between people and beasts.
The Red Goddess
Her shrine shrouds all the memories
She is the key to the gate of unending Agony
She is the answer!
The Red Goddess
The road that I must follow, the path that I must take
The trail of the red flower
What challenge will subdue my mistake?
A foul stench resides from deep down inside
The petals of the flower blood ridden as dye
Whose aroma is deadly to all living beings
Your five senses removed until you are shroud in nothingness
The Red Goddess claims her temporary vessel
Down here you are nothing but a pawn
A resting place, a feeding place, for her mighty goddess
Once she has you there's no returning
She'll leave you lifeless, but you'll never rot
This is eternity
This is true suffering

HARBINGER London, UK
Underpinning righteous fury with thick, groove-laden riffs, anthemic choruses and shredding guitar solos, Harbinger package high-minded concepts and techniques with primitive savagery and raw heaviness. Backed by big riffs, untamed heaviness and technicality, Harbinger are pushing the boundaries of modern metal, but with a lot of consideration and respect for the foundations and roots of the genre ... more

Vale Of Pnath are outstanding. I immediately bought the rest of their discography available on bandcamp. I'm extremely looking forward to their new one. They alone managed to rekindle my flame for (blackened) tech death. Thanks a lot, Vale Of Pnath.
