The Orphan

Orphan destined
Born alone
Prone, his
Fragile infant bones
He shivered in
Embalmers palms
Frigid in her
Corpses womb
Ever so
He would remain
Forever cold
Unthawed through
The spring of youth,
Lingers still
Misfortunes chill
Undaunted by
The solstice
His heart like ice
Frozen through
Withering
No love to blossom
No blood to run
No thawing brought
By Augusts Sun.
'Neath the heat
Of summers lust
Still His sadness
Powdered dust
A shifting drift
A snowy dune
An ebb
That never flows
His life's winter
Never passes
And with him always
Orphans hunger,
The yearning
Gnawing emptiness
The hard caress
Of loneliness
The mother's milk
Of hopelessness
Starvation
Overtakes him
In loves stead
His void grows
This abyss
Blackened and bleak
From the heart

The Cronos frozen
Timbers creaking
Pressured by
White ice Chasm
Daylight holds us
Blizzard blind
Thundering peal
Cannonade
Howls through the mist
The ashes mix
Atop the frozen
Ocean snow
Specter
Frostbit
Stars and swords
The bars that mark
Our worthless ranks
Parchment and quill
Morals and will
Such useless things
Illusions used
Our lies to
Shield us from The Fate
That waits for men
Who vainly seek truth in the dark
Specter
Frostbit
We Vanish
I burn our useless charts
By stars, I navigate
This fable Of my fall
Now undeniable
We vanish
Specter
Frostbit

The Surgeon

|
|

|
The Id evolved
Transcendence In reverse
Equations writ In hunger's blood
Butcher surgeon
Science refined
Dismembered limbs
I lecture
As I work
To victims
Deaf and dead
My genius lost to
Lifeless eyes
What once was me
Has lived to see
The flexibility of sanity
We finally see
Our inner beasts
Once hidden oh so well
Walled up behind
The pointless morals
We've absorbed
We draw one
Perfect breath at birth
Exhale it and become enslaved
Captives of a world
We never helped to shape
Some choose
Do we join the sheep?
Accept the creature comforts of submission?
Pressure and Time
Hubris and pride
To hold the weight
To lend the strength
My burden to bear
Evolved and aware
Thirst for fresh flesh
To feed my despair

The Mutiny

When terror is your life
You push your heart aside
You leave the man behind
So the animal inside you can survive
And those still left alive;
Sailors grown gaunt and lean
So bright, their murd'rous eyes
Every day every night always watching me
3 hungry years
Frozen with our fears
Locked in the ice
No course to steer
So it went
Our slow descent
Chaos crept in
With cruel dissent
When terror is your life
You push your heart aside
You leave the man behind
So the animal inside you can survive
And those still left alive;
Sailors grown gaunt and lean
So bright, their murd'rous eyes
Every day every night always watching me
So it went
Our dark descent
Chaos crushing
With malicious intent
The dead lament
Demons hell sent
Swords in our backs
Let the blood ferment
Demons hell sent
Smell the blood ferment
When terror is your life
You push your heart aside
You leave the man behind
So the animal inside you can survive

The Cannibal

Calm, Calm
The Cannibals Song
His sermon of death fills the air
Saw, Saw
Through body and bone
The captain you caught in your snare
Abattoir of ice and stone
Lined with human skin
Strewn among assorted bones
His instruments of sin
Lanterns light him at his work
Seen through morphine's haze
Bent to task his practiced hands
Peel the flesh he flays
He lurched on prosthetic legs
Their make, his own design
His frightful ingenuity
No sane man could define
Calm, Calm
The Cannibals Song
His sermon of death fills the air
Saw, Saw
Through body and bone
The captain you caught in your snare
The rancid reek of despair
Amputated ears and lips
He ate them to survive
His manhood made a meal
sheer will kept him alive
Senses clear, I moved to flee
My legs, I realized
Sawn-off above the knee
Clean and cauterized
Awoken from the fog
His sedatives caused
His back to me, I saw my chance
Striking without pause
He struggled but I held him fast
And drove him to the ground
I beat him til his cursed mouth
No longer formed sound
My teeth I clamped around his throat
forced them through his skin
And as his blood sprayed from his neck
I felt the warmth within
Calm, Calm
The Cannibals Song
My sermon of death fills the air
Saw, Saw
Through body and bone
The surgeon I've caught in my snare

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now.
