about

A narrator emerges, scrambling for sanity and order in the chaos. He finds the next best thing.

lyrics

Savage rebirth
Purest anarchy
Choose to run or fight
Fight and you shall die

Vast expanse of steel
And stone
Human need to feed
Cull the weakest ones

Regenesis in the wastes of human conquest
The children of despair stalk these ruins
Enthroned on the aftermath of human decadence
The wolves of chaos rule the plains of the overworld

Left among the ashes
Abandoned here to die
Friendless in an evil land
My end is surely nigh

Despair entrenched, I can’t go on
Wish I could end my life
A species mired in holocausts
What drives my will to survive?

Marauders in the distance
Shake me from my thoughts
I have my chance to die here
But my instincts force me on
And I run for my life

I don’t want to die in this place
My starving body near collapsing
I reach the river fouled with human wreckage
Hunters closing in
I brave the toxic wastes

Feral grip of madness
Has taken the entire human race

Neck deep in filth
I struggle across
Reluctant men behind me
The chase is called off
Gasping for life
I choke down stale air
A tunnel looms before me
Will the hunt follow me there?

Regenesis in the wastes of human conquest
The children of despair stalk these ruins
Enthroned on the aftermath of human decadence
The wolves of chaos rule the plains of the overworld

Yet somehow I cling to hope
Must be something more
Find myself in the catacombs
The last sane man, alone

Strangers creep out of shadows
Unlike the madmen above
Bound together, all for one

They eye me with fervent curiosity
Guardians emerge from the darkness
I am thrown to the ground
Cold blades thrust against my skin
Strong voice stays the slaughter
I look up into the eyes of a leader

Join us, we offer you the light
Abandon the prison of the fearful
Join the ranks of the just
United, the nightmare we will conquer
Slaying the tyrants in our way

Soon enough we’ll reclaim the light of day
To this oath your life will be bound:

We many are one, and loyal
Justice through strength and force of will
No mercy for those who’d stand against us

We are the light
We are the light against the darkness
The darkness of fear
I am home, euphoria
Savage rebirth
Necessary evil
Choose to run or fight
Resist and you shall die

Vast expanse of steel and stone
Human need to feed
Cull the weakest ones
In time we’ll rise to conquer all
From nothing, deliverance
In shadows reborn
From shadows, we strike out
Avengers in the night

From hunted, to hunters
The lifeline of our tribe
The hunted, our lifeblood
For us they die
Survival drives our savagery,
We prey on the feared and the fearful
Nocturnal wraiths, harvesting the blood

My struggle, is this right?
To kill and eat my fellow man
No time for dilemmas
I’m lucky to be alive
Wretched times, wretched deeds
No other source on which to feed
Establish our order
At any cost

Closing in
On our prey
Time has come
I must be blooded

I advance in cold blood
Axe in hand against an unarmed man
No time now, to falter
I sweep my weapon down
In moments, he lies dead
His blood upon my hands
My comrades rejoicing
Celebrate my first kill
They rush in to butcher
Divide the carcass
It stuns me, how quickly
A man becomes a meal
Dismembered, carved into
One hundred pounds of flesh
A feast for the order
I earn my keep

Surfacing from the shadows
Cleansed of fear and doubt
Certain, strong, and deadly
Set to cast them out
We scorn the rule of terror
We’ll end the anarchy
One great man to guide us
A new society

Many from the few
United by our hopes
To rid these lands of madness
And save humanity
No mercy for the wretched ones
Who stand in our way
Lone wolves to the slaughter
The flock will have its day

Storming through the streets
We swarm the leaderless horde
See their kind fall before us
We’ll feast on their remains
The sweetness of our vengeance
The hope for humankind
We’ll purge the world of chaos
And rebuild with our minds

Hunt with me my brothers
Victory is at hand
Spill the blood of tyrants
Reclaim the promised land
We liberate this sacred realm and drag our corrupted race
Back from the brink of annihilation
Back from Hell
