Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ravaged are the heavens
Seven angels are deployed
The seals delivered
To return us to the void
[Verse 2]
And waiting on the cusp of many dusks of man
He watches as the masses seek a fake salvation
As He breeds annihilation
[Verse 3]
Now death is law
Venom dripping from the mouth of madness
Incites the rites of war
[Verse 4]
Prepare the heights of Empire for the agonising fall
The beast is rising
Enwreathed in flame
The soundtrack bleeds insanity
His theme, the screaming End Of Days
[Verse 5]
Come
Crawling King Chaos, come
[Verse 6]
Sing his name in rapture, wormwood bitter, spat in tongues
Of ancient Pandemonia for the ghosts all shall become
Returning to the churning of primordial seas
The Order Of Disorder restored through tribulation
Through this bred annihilation
[Verse 7]
The whole world is his church now
A seismic paradigm shift to chaos
[Verse 8]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Seize the Goddess
[Verse 9]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Seize the Goddess
[Verse 10]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Be the prophetʼs propaganda
[Verse 11]
The beast is rising
A cancer at the core
Of everything accelerating
To Deathʼs apathetic maw
[Verse 12]
The beast is rising
Underlit by gore
Stone tablets crack, humanity
Is doomed to looming horror score
[Verse 13]
Scatter brittle insects, fate is heard
In the necrotic birth
Of the terminus plague
Satan has fallen
Midst dark waters of the Earth
[Verse 14]
Come
Crawling King Chaos, come
[Verse 15]
Mountains heave great murmurs
Fires raze the forests black
As billions flee the horsemen
Creation, wounded, staggers back
[Verse 16]
To expire in the mire, wiped from all of time
It will be eternally that we never existed
By this bred annihilation
[Verse 17]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Seize the Goddess
[Verse 18]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Seize the Goddess
[Verse 19]
Apophis
Reach dark office
Apophis
Be the prophetʼs propaganda
[Verse 20]
The beast has risen
Behind the sun
The least unleashed is Armageddon
For everything and everyone
[Verse 21]
The beast has risen
Tearing wide the door
For our burning footprint
On a cindered world, sinning no more
[Verse 22]
A cindered world, sinning no more
