2. Imperium Simulacra
All consuming totality
Surrounded in a domain of visceral green
A wraith above every cliff side
Standing fast a beast with a million eyes
Far below the glass is chaos
Forces wielding destruction lie in wait
Threat of the hydric hammer
Keeping titan, slinger of death at bay
Storm surge forth
Submerged beneath the surface
A conflict of ages to set forth
Straining boiling hostility
Giving rise to a rabid cruel assault
An eternal machination
Agency of impending casualty
Rusted crown of extinction
Is bestowed upon a fool forever charged
CHORUS:
Nightmare Warning Envisioned
Burning through the dark
Inner reflection
Ominous vengeance rise
Nightmare envisioned
Burning through the dark
Inner reflection
Ominous vengeance rise
Engine of annihilation
Spread malevolence over all that is
Blight of putrid infection
All that's left of a harvest sickening
An obstructed enigma
Retribution disguised as sacrifice
Prey upon loyal masses
As the martyrs lose sight of destination
