11. Shogun (11:53)
Won't walk the Earth a specter,
won't hold my tongue from lashing out.
This is my writ of honor,
drawn by the blood that I have shed.
The beasts will soon assemble,
conjoining in their putrid flesh.
Their hearts don't beat desire,
they pump violence and poison.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Time will not heal,
all of your pain.
I cannot wait for it all,
to come crashing down.
The monsters walk among us,
leeching the blood out from what's good.
Infecting at transmission,
swallowing innocence from life.
Our time has come to stand forth,
the wretched womb from which they feed.
Behold the loathsome demons,
send them into the Hell they made.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Time will not heal all of your pain.
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing.
Down on your face, ripping your veins out,
your insides win and kill you from within.
And the seas will rise as serpents,
spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface.
Soon the skies will fall fast, burning.
Open wide and eat the suffering!
The pulse is now quickening.
Softly, it's painstaking.
Look within to calm the storm,
raging inside the form.
There's no turning back!
For I'm witness,
to the changing.
Take all you have brought to sacrifice,
for you will lose much more.
If you succeed in this battle,
you still will lose so much more.
The pulse is now quickening.
Softly, it's painstaking.
Look within to calm the storm,
raging inside the form.
There's no turning back!
For I'm witness,
to the changing.
Take all you have brought to sacrifice,
for you will lose much more.
If you succeed in this battle,
you still will lose so much more.
Time has come,
to face all evil.
Now the seas rise up as serpents,
spawned from the mouth of Earth's surface.
As the skies now fall fast, burning.
Open wide and face the suffering.
The inferno spews out Hell's horde,
casting the flames upon our world.
As Death eclipses all the light,
we make our last stand 'til death, flight.
Time will not heal,
all of your pain.
I cannot wait for it all,
to come crashing down.
Time will not heal all of your pain.
I cannot wait for it all to come crashing.
Down on your face, ripping your veins out,
your insides win and kill you from within.
won't hold my tongue from lashing out.
This is my writ of honor,
drawn by the blood that I have shed.
The beasts will soon assemble,
conjoining in their putrid flesh.
Their hearts don't beat desire,
they pump violence and poison.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Flesh opens up,
blood's retreating.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Death's embracing,
all is ending.
Time will not heal,
all of your pain.
I cannot wait for it all,
to come crashing down.

leeching the blood out from what's good.
