1.	Conquests of the Insatiable 06:20	lyrics	buy track
King Valinguard: Eureka, all thee hearken! I’ve conceived a course of action I shall do what no mortal man has dared tried before! Gaze your eyes into the distance, that untapped land glowing green! That is the ticket to our limitless prosperity! For battles shall rage, the sound of war cries fills the air An era of glory is upon us! Cheers shout my name! Our feasts will be boundless, Once we conquer the darkened land! I decry the ancestors; I denounce the deities! My legacy shall be my immortality! My animus brings healing, to this expanse so cursed! I shall transcend the gods, then they shall worship me! For battles shall rage, the sound of war cries fills the air An era of glory is upon us! Cheers shout my name! Our feasts will be boundless, Once we conquer the darkened land!
2.	The Curse of Anathemia 05:09	lyrics	buy track
Talamalchus: Your highness, your attention I demand! The night before whilst scrying the fire; terror I perceived firsthand! Betwixt the cities darkness brews, flooding all the land Carcasses entangled like a mire, the casualties were grand Plaguing ruination, I foresee the end of days! Malicious sights from divination are much to my dismay! Everything we've known and loved shall be snuffed of its flame! Never had I a vision so clear! It's The Curse of Anathemia! King Valinguard: So you tell me I can't complete my quest? Your foolish fake magic won't give me unrest! Valinguard means valient, onward I shall press Visions are just visions, they are not a behest Talamalchus: Plaguing ruination, I foresee the end of days! Malicious sights from divination are much to my dismay! Everything we've known and loved shall be snuffed of its flame! Never had I a vision so clear! It's The Curse of Anathemia! Talamalchus: Your belligerence was foretold, your machinations won't be extolled King Valinguard: I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED! Talamalchus: Bear ye the burden of what unfolds!
3.	Consuming Chaos 04:58	lyrics	buy track
Scyon: I see the shore approaching, arms at the ready Uncertainty running through our veins Is it for glory? Riches and fame? Or notoriety of conquesting this land? Racing thoughts pass through my mind as if we're left to die in this vile land that devours us! If we don't leave here alive, know our names will survive Victims of the consuming chaos! Storming the beach front, the eerie silence permeates our ears as we question this calm Vigilant yet looking at this rotting wasteland, Something is amiss about this place Turning around we are completely ambushed! What are these creatures that have encircled us? Demon-like repulsive monstrosities with oozing flesh singe our noses with nauseating scents Our army has been slaughtered; corpses littered on the ground Anathemia, you wretched expanse-- in our own blood we've been drowned! Racing thoughts pass through my mind as if we're left to die in this vile land that devours us! If we don't leave here alive, know our names will survive Victims of the consuming chaos!
4.	The Lost Legions 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Scyon: Ascend! Gather your clout! Don't amuse doubt! Forthwith dawning new aeons! Strike! All whet your blades! Blood shall cascade, baptising our new rising! Assault! String up their frames! Cries shall exclaim, it's too late for absolution! Slay! Poison their will! All shall be killed, we strive for retribution! Deliver us a new aeon; whence from we shall burn their Eden So tis the day they'll remember our names Sear our guises in their eyes! (They’ll be) Kneeling before unrelinquishing might, smear their blood across the skies! Never did I depict this day coming Long thought I would succumb to this land Retribution, I have fixated over! Now I can taste it's sweet nectar! Now lost we are not, once left to rot, vindication is ours Forward we advance, this is our chance, legions we shall be to the end they shall now face, kill without grace, for their betrayal they shall pay the price with death, take their last breath, this is our final conquest Deliver us a new aeon; whence from we shall burn their Eden So tis the day they'll remember our names Sear our guises in their eyes! (They’ll be) Kneeling before unrelinquishing might, smear their blood across the skies!
5.	The Trojan Heart 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Amalya: Somewhere in the hinterlands, past the sands, near the fringe of Anathemia O'er the horizon, shadows looms, quickly nearing towards our fortress walls Suddenly I'm feeling faint, from the sight, of a twisted yet familiar face is it really him? Ne'ertheless, I'm trapped under his obfuscating gaze A shell of what was, do mine eyes deceive me? A flicker of hope, a thought once fleeting My brother, is that you? A mirage turned reality Alas, 'twas not! It was the Trojan Heart! The taste of iron burns my senses, its fogs my vision and scalds my skin! Nobleman: Do you not heed my warning? this beast is not of your blood! stupefaction possessing, are your emotions all gone? Don't you see that our kingdom is falling, there are people dying in droves! come back to reality, i beseech of thee! This unbridled evil will be the end of all we know! Amalya, dying: I once knew you as my kin, corrupt you are with sin A trojan horse that's lined with pestilence insane, A plague of flies and pain; human holocaust shall reign! On the last day, our blood will fill the skies! A shell of what was, do mine eyes deceive me? A flicker of hope, a thought once fleeting My brother, is that you? A mirage turned reality Alas, 'twas not! It was the Trojan Heart
6.	Beneath the Blood Red Sky 06:05	lyrics	buy track
King Valinguard: Flanked at every angle, we await our demise This curse leaving us strangled, in our-own-blood to-be baptized Was it out of vengeance? Or something much more grim Our questions will be answered when we're lying in our graves Our own kin poise for checkmate, defenseless, we can only stand and wait I see the lines Break, the Lost have now won Our homes Begin to crumble, the Empire now falls To the ones we left to die, Beneath the Blood Red Sky The Battle is over, our warriors broken Legions of the lost, You Have forsaken us To the ones we left to die, Beneath the Blood Red Sky The fortress is now taking fire, I see the legions inching near This situation is much to dire, the end is seeming clear A moment waste not on denial, the only exit is my own death I take a sip out of the vial, as I inhale my last breath I see the lines Break, the Lost have now won Our homes Begin to crumble, the Empire now falls To the ones we left to die, Beneath the Blood Red Sky The Battle is over, our warriors broken Legions of the lost, you Have forsaken us To the ones we left to die, Beneath the Blood Red Sky Ben Rose – songwriting, bass Dan Massey—songwriting, drums Martin Bowman—songwriting, guitar

about

The year is 427 CD, 427 years after the Cataclysm, in which the Allied American Forces and United States of Soviet Europe nearly destroyed the Earth. Rendering most of the world uninhabitable, the few remaining areas are controlled by small monarchic nation-states that constantly war over Earth’s dwindling resources. As Europe was destroyed by the war, many Europeans took refuge in migrating south towards Africa, away from the intensely spreading radiation. Our story begins in Osiradin, a land before the Cataclysm was once known as Egypt.
