ULCERATE LYRICS

1. The Lifeless Advance

Scorn concealed within the reviled
Stripped of its frail grasp
To not be absolved
Invoking false deliverance
Crushing rage renders the weak forgotten

Drown in tides gripping the dead
Become what is dictated by oath

Salvage nothing from the ruins

Infernos of blinding hatred
Will shelter the grave malefaction
Cleanse your hands of these wounds
Pierced by fear, with hope now diminished

Concede no pity
The malignant shroud darkens all souls

Strangling the life from scoured skin
Iniquity turns to silence
Only blood of corrosion infects the ascendant

Drained until hollow
Remain empty
Abdicate from final vows

The last rights have been spoken
Isolation swallows everything
Idle as it burns to ember

2. Exhale the Ash

Viral compulsion born of fractured humanity
Blindly advance by pronouncements of all against all
Fragment the reason for being
Consume the vacuous, the disillusion

Lay to waste and relinquish the earth ablaze

Unshackled, go forth with eyes glazed over
Define your purpose as the riches of sin
Bled out from the remnants

Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies
The end has been written
By our ascent

Exalt nothing

Roots torn from beneath all
Adorned with scars of excess
In eulogy we will not be absolved

Retreat from sanctity
Possessors not of time nor hope
Confront extinction
To repent, but not endure

Fallen
All bonds broken
Forged of lies
Entrenched and held within
Relinquish the covenant

The rot cannot be drawn from dead veins
Unremitting in worship of empty gods
Return to the dawn
Before invoking our own suffering

Bear witness to what is before us
Dissolve all the illusions
Be brought back down to ashes

3. Stare into Death and Be Still

At war with no enemy
But the dearth of our will
Far too late to wake from this doubt
Intransigent in the face of the end

Banished to a fate worse than death

No worth remains of this condemned existence
Soon to be annulled

Transpire, from order to chaos
The messiah of alienation
Deliver us to these ends we have dreamt

Where the faintest light is now smothered
Devoured by the grief

Sink deeper into the abyss
Buried under the flaws we disown
Starved of breath
And fearing the detachment from all
Submit to unseen tyranny

We have reached the brink of the terminal world

Stare into death and be still
The darkness ahead mirrors the past of ruin
Barely lived
Every fire exhausted
Awaiting surrender

4. There Is No Horizon

Glares of submission and fear
Cast down on the unknown
Drift beyond obscurity
And become fatal
Silenced by anguish
Carry the burden of the dejected
With blank and hateful eyes
With worn expressions
It cannot prevail

The failing instilled in us
To prophesize a barren hellscape

There is no horizon
No coming of the next light

Enclosing minds
Gripped tight to the only escape
Eroding away

Become lifeless

As we approach total collapse
Raze it to the ground
Under which all will return

Unravel veneration of the infinite
Which stains all in its wake
Elicit meaning
And sever those who reject
There is no horizon
No coming of the next light

Divide and reclaim
Invoke upheaval
Of the insipid and worthless law
That again pulls in the helpless

5. Inversion

Subversion deep within
And across totality
Invert the decaying nature
To renew as affliction
Muted in suffocating pain

Never subside
Never betray

Distant figures
Immersed in their lifeless conception
Becoming the divided, bitter and cold

Never subside
The horror of endless waking

As its shadow
Beholden and enslaved in disdain

Dead obliteration
Veil with misery
Only an imprint on the arid and meaningless

Immolate the tortured cries
Emaciate all
They regress and adhere

The agony draws near
Inside each trace of blood
It withers and dies

6. Visceral Ends

Reaching for the last breath of a dying flame
It slips from fearful clutches
Shattered and lost

The sickening inertia
Inherent, unawakened

Created in the image of death and destruction
Time weighs down on the broken
Tarnished light must fade

Falter at the first obstruction
Cannot subdue that which embodies all

Exist for the visceral ends
No more than dust

7. Drawn into the Next Void

Succumb to total disavowal
The sudden emptiness descends
All that is known is mortality
And guilt crawling beneath the skin

Bow before your doubt
Within the prison of a frail shell
Embrace the condition of hopelessness
From eminence that will never be

Fail to revoke the torment
To abstain from all evil
Forgive us the permanent
Depart from this wretched curse
Fade into the inhuman

There can be no stay of self-execution

Bow before your doubt
Within the prison of a frail shell
Embrace the condition of hopelessness
Beg to conceal and deny

It will not be mistaken
This is the absolute
Inhale deceit of the reckoning

Inhale the deceit
Drawn into the next void

8. Dissolved Orders

Stare down on the defeated
Declare the puritan
Command by doctrine
Feed off the backs of the dismal

Obey contempt
Give in as confines on this loathing fray
Ripped apart
And the aversion will vanish

To be unmasked

Disappear for any hope at redemption
Beset by shame

The scourge left trailing the parasitic
Entire orders eaten away from the inside
Wrung dry and spat out

They would turn in disgust
If there were any will to look back on

Cede to the unyielding
Fed by repulsion granted in shame
Bring an end to the reign of the cursed

The scourge left trailing the parasitic
Entire orders eaten away from the inside
Wrung dry and spat out

No halting the flood's advance
Let it wash over
No halting the flood's advance
See it through to the end
