Tetrad (album)

Left: 26 October, 2013, New Life Recordings, Bandcamp

The song "Casualties of the Cosmic War" was originally planned to be a Rotting Serpent song - specifically, the last one ever released under that project name.

1) Oak of Weeping
7:51, lyrics:
A broken wind sighs, and snuffs the candle's light
The wisps of smoke from charring wicks heralds the night
Outside the ghosts of mortals, who have yet to die
Wander through the streets, and openly they hide

From inner pain
Fleeing themselves
But can't escape
The gnawing fear...

Inside this place, a structure yet to be condemned
Where possibly many have died, but not so many lived
Fevered supplications to the Lord, the silence rent
Shrieking prayers of misery that I'm not one of them

My spirit wails
And turns the page
Where Truth is found
And no one seeks...


2) Larvae in the Face of the Moon
4:50, lyrics:
Inter-dimensional vermin cast from Heaven's grace
Seduced the sons of men by glance of evil faith
They lusted for the flesh of women not their own
And left their habitation, and former abode

So they were cast out, from their watching gaze
From before the Throne of the Living God
Deceiving the race of man, through their treachery
And from their daughters, spawned the nephilim

'Til the Day of Judgment comes, in hell they are restrained
Bound for eternity in everlasting chains
Their spirit-children stalk the living through the earth
Taking no rest, but still they hunger and they thirst

So they were cast out, from their watching gaze
From before the Throne of the Living God
Deceiving the race of man, through their treachery
And from their daughters, spawned the nephilim

Someone else is on the moon...


3) Courtiers of Celestial Pestilence
9:39

4) Tetrad
9:19

5) Revocation and Renouncement
11:41

6) Casualties of the Cosmic War
4:43

1) Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail
10:10, lyrics:
Father God, right now in the Name of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth
I take authority over the very atmosphere of this building
In the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
I confess Jesus as Lord over this meeting...
I declare Jesus, you are the Captain of our salvation
And in the Name of Jesus I raise the shield of faith around everyone in this room
Let the light of Jesus expose all darkness in this place, in the Name above every Name
I break the power, and I take the Sword of the Spirit
(now this is a demonstration of a prayer and I want you to understand
the "Sword of the Spirit" is the Word of God)
I take the Sword of the Spirit in my hand right now
And I loose everyone in this room from doubt and unbelief
Loose them in Jesus Name
From fear of religious spirits
I break your power now
Loose them in the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
All spirits of division and strife
Loose them in the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
Every wicked spirit of discord we break your power now
Confusion, perversion, error, passivity, loose them
And let them go right now, in the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
And I bind satan's ability to interfere with any finances of anyone in this room
In the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
Now I seal these prayers, and this spiritual warfare with the blood of the Lamb
In the Name of Jesus, I plead the blood over this meeting
This building, the people, the leadership, and the membership
In the Name above every Name
Father, call us all to be mighty warriors dressed for battle
Teach our hands to war, O God
Put a wall of fire, and a hedge of protection around everyone in this room
And everyone listening to this...
I forbid the retaliation of any wicked spirit against anyone in this room
Or anyone listening to this...
In the Name above every Name, both now and in the future
In the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
I pray that everyone in this room would be zealous, white-hot, fervent
Full of fiery zeal, in the Name of Jesus, the Christ of Nazareth
Now Father, we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
By the word of our testimony, and we love not our lives unto the death
The battle is the Lord's, and the victory is ours
Let the high praises of God be in our mouth
And a two-edged sword in our hand
Now, thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph
In Christ Jesus
Amen, and amen.

Worthy is the Lamb of God to receive all praise
Blessings and all adoration to the Highest Name
He who breaks the seven seals, the time is now unveiled
Jesus Christ, the Living God, for us He was impaled

The Lion of Judah's tribe, He judges and makes war
In righteousness, and from His mouth a sharp two-edged sword
The Word of God, the Prince of Peace, the Master of the hordes
Lord of Hosts, exalted Saviour, and the risen Lord

Master and Commander, I live to extol Your Name
I differentiate betwixt the Holy and profane
Help me be a light to others, as I live my life
So they may turn from sin, and to the Truth of Jesus Christ

Jesus, the Messiah, who delivers Israel
Casts false-prophet, and the beast into the maw of hell
Only Your blood purifies and cleanses me from sin
Bring blessed regeneration, new life now begins

Through You I am justified by faith, now I know
Saved by grace and not of works, lest any man should boast
I carry my cross proclaiming Your unfailing love
While we were in sin, God sent His Son to die for us

Behold the Hand...
Behold the Nail...

Yeshua, the Law fulfilled, who sets His sheep apart
Cornerstone of God's Temple built within my heart
You who lights my path, a lamp unto my feet
Encompass me with fire, and enlarge my steps beneath

You who wash away my tears, the only living God
You who casts away my fears, and brings them all to nought
You are Just and Faithful, Merciful and True
God, you died for me, so I will live for You...


2) Entering into Eternal Rest
5:52, lyrics:
Tell me why the heathen rage, and plot a vainful thing
To overthrow the Lord of Hosts in grim conspiracy
He who sits enthroned in Heaven laughs at their attempt
And in the Day of Reckoning they still will not repent

The blind will lead the blind until they fall into a pit
And he who killeth with the sword, himself is killed therewith
Jesus is the only way to escape from hell
In the end, there's no one else to blame except yourself

Jesus is my Master, and it's Him that I obey
We're living in the latter days, there is no more delay
He took me from the jaws of death, drowning in the black
Repent therefore, the Kingdom is at hand, He's coming back

Holy Spirit guide me to the Truth, and help me see
Help me walk in holiness, I put my trust in Thee

Everyday I take my cross and follow where You lead
Be a doer of the Word, not merely hear decrees

Jesus must be lifted up, myself, I must decrease
I only want to hear You say that You are fully pleased
With my actions as a servant, bow before Your throne
And welcome me into Your Kingdom, my eternal Home

JESUS IS MY MASTER

Jesus is my Master, and it's Him that I obey
We're living in the latter days, there is no more delay
He took me from the jaws of death, drowning in the black
Repent therefore, the Kingdom is at hand, He's coming back


3) Blood upon the Mercy Seat
7:31, lyrics:
He comes in glory, shining brighter than the sun
Victory belongs to Him alone, God's only Son
Burning up the elements all melt with fervent heat
Flowing from the cross, like Blood upon the Mercy Seat

From the Holy City He reigns for a thousand years
Jesus, the Messiah, wash away our every tear
With an iron scepter, His Kingdom shall never end
And the curse upon the earth shall never be again

Purified, some wise will fall so they may be refined
Cleansed, until the end that comes at the appointed time
Blessed is the one who, watchful, vigilant, remains
Reaching one thousand-three-hundred-thirty-five days

The antichrist will persecute and overcome the saints
But we shall overcome him by the Blood that Jesus gave
The word of our testimony of His saving grace
Loving not our lives unto the death into the grave

Praise be to God, my strength and song
Who takes away my sins
Jesus Christ, my Saviour, and my
True and faithful friend
Transgressions are removed farther
Than East is from the West


4) Tears of Wretched Depravity
5:58, lyrics:
Father God, I come before Your throne and seek Your face
Humbling myself before You, I am a disgrace

Begging for Your mercy, for to wash my sins away
Then i turn and wallow in the sins that You forgave
You are just and faithful in Your righteousness so true
I am such a wretched man, I'm nothing without You
O my God, You are the only one who satisfies
The hunger in my soul, O father God, be glorified
Jesus, Your Messiah, was rejected and despised
Crucified, entombed, and then You brought Him back to life

Jesus, I extol You, for You are the risen Lord
Who gave another life to me I never had before
Thank You for the sacrifice you made upon the cross
I put my trust in You because without You I am lost

Begging for Your mercy, for to wash my sins away
Then i turn and wallow in the sins that You forgave
You are just and faithful in Your righteousness so true
I am such a wretched man, I'm nothing without You
O my God, You are the only one who satisfies
The hunger in my soul, O father God, be glorified
Jesus, Your Messiah, was rejected and despised
Crucified, entombed, and then You brought Him back to life


5) Under the Shadow of His Wings
4:45, lyrics:
Jesus, my Saviour
I worship and adore you
Lord, Alpha-Omega
Beginning and the End

For me You were beaten
And nailed to a cross
You shed Your precious blood
To atone for my sins

Passover Lamb, You are worthy of all praise
Slain before the foundation of the world was ever laid
Blotted out my sins by Your sacrificial death
Quickened by the Spirit, my Messiah lives again

You triumphed over sin and death
Your strength will never fail
You crushed the head of satan and
And You mocked the priests of Baal

In the Name of Jesus I will battle for the prize
To You I show allegiance, even if I have to die

I pray that You will keep me in the palm of Your hand
Empower me to preach, and reach as many as I can
Father, my provider, without You I am undone
Victory is Your, yes, the war's already won

Forever You're my fortress, whatever the devil brings
I will trust in You under the shadow of Your wings


6) Victory Belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ
6:53, lyrics:
Snow falls to the frozen ground, the blizzard a cascade
So beautiful, the Lord's creation that His Word has made
From the times in early Spring, which gives the trees rebirth
Even though it lies suffering underneath His curse

Nature longs to be restored by His eternal grace
Ever since our parents came into their fallen state
When Jesus returns, he comes to set the World aright
He will give regeneration, and the tree of life

Built upon the sure foundation of Lord Jesus Christ
His strength will never fail throughout the cold and desperate night
In the storms of persecution, misery, and death
I will praise the God who gives me life, who gave me breath

In all things, Thy Will be done, in Heaven and on earth
My life is Yours, my love for You, because You loved me first
With my sword and armour I wage war against the dark
Empowered, I stand with the Holy Spirit in my heart

Lord, renew my heart and mind, to mount on eagles' wings
melt the winter bitterness, as in the early Spring
Though I walk through tribulation, shadows of the damned
You will keep me as a jewel in Your immortal hand

Nature longs to be restored by His eternal grace
Ever since our parents came into their fallen state
When Jesus returns, he comes to set the World aright
He will give regeneration, and the tree of life

Built upon the sure foundation of Lord Jesus Christ
His strength will never fail throughout the cold and desperate night

23 March, 2019, Blackened Label Records, CD

Guest appearances:
Noizen - Keyboards

Note that on the CD version, track 7 is misspelled "Communion and Apollyon". The correct title is "... and Apolysis" as shown on this page and Bandcamp.

1) Enarxis (Intro)
3:32, instrumental

2) The New Satanic Altar
8:33, lyrics:
I tell you what to think
I show you how to look
I tell you what you have to believe
Nobody gets through a day without me...

I follow you wherever you go
You can find me in every room
Worship before my comforting glow
In the privacy of your own home...

You cannot make a choice, without my commentary
My opinion is the one you uphold...
My birth was the advancement of time
In servitude you will do what you're told... NOW!!

Through me, my minions fall,
At the feet of celebrity...
I tell you what to love and hate
I show you what to be afraid of...

There's no use to resist
Get your chicken-wings and chips
Take your family and kids, and sit...
Before your television sets...

THE NEW SATANIC ALTAR!!

You do not have a voice, your voice is mine
You're so blind you cannot see
That what you think of came from me...

The famous all aligned
Under the All-Seeing-Eye
And I see everything
I now create reality...


3) The Sifting Process
8:20, lyrics:
Judgement begins in the heart of the church
The refining furnace of affliction, we will feel it first
To shake the very foundations of the truth we know
God help us stand firm in faith, even if it's small

Only with You beside us do we have any hope
Please, let Your Spirit guide us to our heavenly home
Priests turn to pedophiles, and preachers molest
Jesus says "Pray, that you may not be put to the test."

There's a sifting process coming to the church
Separation of chaff from wheat and last from first
There's a soul in silence clinging to the Lord
There's a sinner weeping, trying to repent...
God Help Me!!

Christians unite, across denominations
Now is the time to hold one another in love
Jesus transcends the boundaries we've set up between us
If you believe, then you're my brother, and that's all that's needed!

Catholic and Baptist may be killed by the same enemy
The armies of evil don't care about your different theologies
Judge nothing before the time, even yourself, leave it to Christ.
Placing our trust in Him, the Bishop of our souls...

There's a sifting process coming to the church
Separation of chaff from wheat and last from first
There's a soul in silence clinging to the Lord
There's a sinner weeping, trying to repent...
God Help Me!!
Before I die without you!!


4) Depersonalization
4:52, lyrics:
The rain is falling like tears from my eyes
Have I gone too far to come back, or is there time?
My God, I've been such a fool, in my life
My only hope is You, I cannot trust myself

I'm staring at the walls, Isolated from my peers
God, can you hear my calls?
I'm surrounded by my fears...

I can see inside your heart
Inside... your silent screaming
I can see inside your heart
In silence... I see when you're alone...

I can see myself and everything I've ever done
And I can't stop sinning, I hate what I've become
Lord Jesus, You're my only hope, You're precious blood wash over me
My flesh it rots away...

I can see inside your heart
Inside... your silent screaming
I can see inside your heart
In silence... I see when you're alone...


5) Mortuary Light
7:14, lyrics:
Dusk falls inside the mortuary
Mortician works behind the drapes
Embalming fluid coursing through my veins
The corpse is laid to rest...

But is this the end?
Just a pile of bones put in the ground?
That is all that they said
How could they know?
Now it's me that is finding out...

Now the spirit awakes...
Disembodied, I walk around...
In this, my in-between state
Can I go to the light, or am I damned
To the fires below...?

Now the spirit awakes...
Disembodied, I walk around...
In this, my in-between state
Can I go to the light, or am I damned
To the fires below...?

The judgement seat of Christ awaits
I give account of my life...
So much bad, little good I've done, worthless...
I bow my head in remorse..

He shows me a day when I was a kid
I gave my life unto Him...
So many years have passed since
"But, I still see you as that little child..."

I lay my head on His side...
Into the place of the light...

Now the spirit awakes...
Disembodied, I walk around...
In this, my in-between state
Can I go to the light, or am I damned
To the fires below...?


6) My Angels, Lucifer and Phosphorus
4:15, lyrics:
I called you "Lucifer" because you brought me so much light
Shining, you brightened up the darkest days of my life

Over the years I've watched you grow, I've seen from far away
I will always love you though you cannot hear me say...

I love you....

Mercy my angels, on blessed wings
You fly so up high...
Prayer to my God, He answered my call
But hasn't wiped the tears....

From my eyes

I called you "Phosphorus" because you lighten up the night
Burning brightly in the dark, of this, my darkest night

Over the years I've watched you grow, I've seen from far away
I will always love you though you cannot see me say....

I love you...

Mercy my angels, on blessed wings
You fly so up high...
Prayer to my God, He answered my call
But hasn't wiped the tears....

Bless you. my angels, on silver wings
Together you will shine...
Never forget, your every breath
Alone can dry my tears...
