ENGRAVING THE EPITAPH

Seal your fate
In the crypts of life you'll see
Bridle your lust
At the utter edge you'll be

Elation and pain will cease
From your senses you will hide
At the final step you'll freeze
Your deepest fear inside
To divulge what is beyond
The symbol of your quest
With rightness your are fond
You'll never find your rest

Seal your fate
In the crypts of life you'll see
Bridle your lust
At the utter edge you'll be

The pounding roar of time
The scream is from the past
You seek a perfect chime
To reach your goal at last

Kaleidoscope reflections
Swirling clouds of youth
Lying in defections
Now see the truth

Future starts to blacken
The past no longer is
All that you can reckon;
Here, now and this

Your blood starts to flow
Lies heavy on your brain
The wisdom is too low
Is this in vain

"Redemption from prejudice"
Is what you never thought
"Moral, grace and justice"
The different you have fought
Your goal is too obscure
To fight what's imperfect
To define your hoflow core
To find what is defect

At the answer you now stand
The final view of life
Eternal wisdom at your hand
Your weary eyes you raise
As the truth comes through your soul
Your body starts to convulse
Realize that all is foul
Blood spews with your pulse

This proves that bands who play with conviction will always prevail. The band does nothing new musically, yet the album hits you like a ton of bricks. Ferocious riffing that reminds me of bands like Razor, Exodus, and Kreator. This album is just fucking mean. Highly recommended for fans of 80s extremity. Dark Avenger
