Originally planned to be an EP but ended up being a full album.
"Aoratos strateia" (αόρατος στρατεία) means "unseen war" in Greek.

Immortal Martyr writes the following on Bandcamp about the album:
"Aoratos Strateia is Greek and means "Unseen Warfare" and this is multidimensional in application. The artwork is this: The man in the cage represents a life without Christ enslaved in the fallen nature of the flesh, demonized, tormented by addiction. The unseen war we must face every day against the fallen flesh nature and all of it's carnal desires that lead to physical and spiritual death. The warfare of the angels against the demons is the unseen warfare that is spiritual Ephesians 6:12 We do not wrestle and battle against flesh and blood (Humans) but with unclean spirits (Disembodied Nephilim spirits), principalities (High ranking evil spirits such as Jezebel, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Abaddon, etc), against powers (Governmental authority influenced by Evil), against the world's rulers of the Darkness of this age (Luciferian occultic groups that obey Satan and serve him), and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the Heavenly realms (Fallen angels, very subtle and deceptive beings that want to see us destroyed because of Jealousy, Pride, and Hatred because we are image bearers of God, (Father, Son, Holy Spirit - 3 In 1), (we are Spirit, Soul, and Body - 3 in 1)) Apart from Christ we are dead in our sins and transgressions and powerless to break free. Each of these songs addresses specific things we battle in the unseen warfare every day, from addictions, to battling the powers of Hell themselves.... But Christ set's us free and gives us the victory by empowering us through His Holy Spirit to live in FREEDOM! Jesus set me free from depression, drug and alcohol addiction, lust and pornography, shame and self hatred, and so much more! He offers freedom to ANY who believe so message us if you need prayer because we love you all and are here for you all! God bless you all in Jesus name!"

1) Parabellum
1:25, lyrics:
*Shofar blast*

Enoch 2:1 Behold He comes with ten thousands of His saints
To execute judgment upon them and destroy the wicked
and reprove the carnal
For everything which the sinful and ungodly have done and committed against Him
AMEN


2) Aoratos Strateia
4:26, lyrics:
[Verse 1]

Unholy corpses strewn across the wasteland
Venomous tongues torn out from their skulls
Angelic forces bring the devastation
Deceptive beings drug across scalding coals

[Chorus] x2

Aoratos Strateia
Ethereal Armageddon
Aoratos Strateia
Empyreal Demonicide

[Bridge 1]

Holy, Holy, Holy, massacre
Holy, Holy, Holy, massacre

[Verse 2]

Hallowed blades wreak an invisible bloodbath
Indignation against their wretched pride
Seraphim breathe an unstoppable warpath
Demonic torsos crawl away to survive

[Verse 3]

Behold the twisted carnage of a dying evil
A fallen breed condemned to suffering
Diabolical leader impaled on the steeple
Exiled entities damned to agony

[Slam Bridge]

Perfect archers raining flaming arrows
Divine razors spilling blood and marrow
Futile hatred building feeble strongholds
Slaughtering the wicked creatures of old

Grinding bones to dust of the Aphotic
Ordered pious exsanguination
Not one spirit unmaimed final carnage
Bask in soothing extirpation
Anointed Weapons thirsting for hellion blood
Holocaustic ruination

Trembling evil rulers beg for mercy
Now they must face their extinction

[Bridge 2]

You're Holy
You're coming back
With your hosts of Angels
To execute judgment
Obliterate the kingdom of darkness

[Outro]

Unseen Warfare
Spiritual warfare
Extinction
All Evil eradicated
Desolation


3) The Wolf You Feed
7:05, lyrics:
[Intro] IM

Heed these words
Receive wisdom
Lest you taste damnation

Understand
Take my hand
Follow me to the war

Raise your blades and proclaim that this is the end

[Bridge 1] IM

This is the end
This is the end
Raise your blades
And proclaim
This is the end of death

[Pre-Chorus 1] IM

Deep within us all
The war wages on
Divinity or Hell

[Chorus] IM

Only one survives
Choose to live or die
Deception clawing through your skin

Return to Holy design
Or gnash your teeth and cry
As you consume yourself

[Verse 2] IM

Buffet of grotesque delicacies
Gorging the butcher in me
Gluttonous feasting on vanity
I partook of Gehenna's beauty

[Bridge 2] IM

Digging the grave
For all that's vain
I crushed
The serpents skull
Beneath a bloodied cross

[Pre-Chorus 2] IM

Through flames I'm reborn
In righteousness adorned
My corpse on the floor bleeding out

[Verse 3] AB

Feeding the wolf that is eating away my humanity from this dead existence
It was no longer a fight I gave in
There was no more of a resistance
Beat the flesh into submission
But I couldn't tame it without the Holy Spirit
Look at what I would have become
Without His will I took a peak in the mirror

[Bridge 3] AB

Look at me
What do you see
What I seen was not the real me
Was a lover of pleasure rather than truth until He abided in me
God has shown me mercy
His love is everlasting
Thank you Jesus
Making a way still you never passed me

[Pre-Chorus 3] AB

I felt death gripping slowly
Had no rest I was wicked
Major destruction to my flesh
And you still never forsaken me

[Bridge] IM

Closing in now
Weakened by lust
Emaciated bones exposed
The scent of blood
Is infatuating

A single moment
As life ebbs away,
one vanishes away
Outer darkness devours the light
Of day Eviscerated
You are cast into the void
Forevermore

[Bridge 4] IM

A Crimson moon appears in the sky
Hear the oceans of souls deny
See the grand execution of time
One final chance to receive Christ

[Slamming Bridge] IM

No-one will be left
Turn the final page
At the Kings behest
Bow before His name
Underneath the Earth
Chained and dragged away
No hope left
Dig your grave

[Verse 4] JO

Take my possessions
Steal my time
Have at this flesh
But good luck taking my soul

Listen carefully and
Hear the chariots
As they stampede

There are many with you but
there are more with us
Whom shall I fear
For I'm no longer a captive
Held down by
the temptation

My savior has broken these chains
That once held me enslaved
I had to
face the Goliath
but rest assured
I was not alone

[Bridge 5] JO

Fighting gives me a reason
to have faith
using The sword of God

Attacking
Hell's gates
I have no regrets of
who I was

[Pre-Chorus 4] JO

He deserves all praises
This is called true discipleship
Crucified my flesh to the Cross
Now I have been reborn


4) Commercialized Debauchery
6:41, lyrics:
My eyes fixated on vanity as I drown!!
The depths of my soul in poison daily!!
With no wavering I consume my devastation!!
Ravenously until I black out in depravity!!

Devouring spirit and soul
Giving up all control
All sound judgment must go
You are mine now

Puppets of Al-Khul
Made out to be a fool
No need to heed the rules
Self destruction

Homosexually molested at the age of 12
And this made the essence of my life a living Hell
Deep self hatred brewed within the veins of my cell
Sincerely desiring to kill myself

Crippling depression had become my greatest friend
My spirit and hope crushed beneath the weight of sin
I sought new medicine making horror commence
I locked the prison gate of my hollow skin

Leave me alone and let me drown
Leave me alone and let me drown
Isolated within in my own sorrow
I could care less about my tomorrow

Aimlessly wandering through the halls of intoxication
Seeking to numb the pain of condemnation
Slowly ripping open my wounds of self affliction
Begging to crawl from the liquid tomb of my addiction

All consuming Inferno of unholy wrath
Devouring completely all life in my path
Mercilessly eaten alive by my past
Violently shattering my mind like glass

Agonizing shame stabbed me straight through the heart
Pain forced me to hide in the dark
I cried out, will some relief start
I must be damned and fallen too far

Leave me alone and let me drown
Leave me alone and let me drown
Isolated within in my own sorrow
I could care less about my tomorrow

Aimlessly wandering through the halls of intoxication
Seeking to numb the pain of condemnation
Slowly ripping open my wounds of self affliction
Begging to crawl from the liquid tomb of my addiction

Siding in communion with the cancer of the Earth
Joining the confusion of the prodigals from birth
Bars full of the lost ones with no self worth
Swept away in the current of descending flesh curse

Millions seeking true identity in their pain
Blindly I will follow the masses to early graves
Eat away at my judgment to partake in lawlessness
Accept the ruin and surrender to the wickedness

Drop, by, drop, demons pour in
Dying by thirst of ice cold idols
Brick, by, brick, temples torn down
Knock back another fresh shot of death

[Solo]

Leave me alone and let me drown
Leave me alone and let me drown
Isolated within in my own sorrow
I could care less about my tomorrow

Aimlessly wandering through the halls of intoxication
Seeking to numb the pain of condemnation
Slowly ripping open my wounds of self affliction
Begging to crawl from the liquid tomb of my addiction

My eyes fixated on vanity as I drown!!
The depths of my soul in poison daily!!
With no wavering I consume my devastation!!
Ravenously until I black out in depravity!!

Contemplating my own murder
I decided to go further
End it all cuz I deserve it
Gaping wounds, love can't preserve them
Nothing left but to surrender
To Hell and grave's true ascender
In an instant I repented
Given life through divine embers
My sins and shame not remembered
Ripped from the grip of tormentor
I was shielded by defender
Welcomed home by my deliverer


5) Portal of Abysmal Lust
6:35, lyrics:
[Intro]

Blood dripping
From their teeth
Prey they seek to devour

Ancient beasts
Unseen
Long to feast on your soul

Serpentine
Eyes gazing
Into thy destiny

Horrid fate
Burning hate
Consuming flesh and bones

Progenies
Of disease
Reckoning of thy accursed tree

[Verse 1]

One at a time
Moves down the line
Approaching you silently waiting

Iniquity
Aim to deceive
Just take a peak and behold beauty

Perversity
Explicit scenes
Carrying streams of evil beings

The ecstasy
Rebellion
Dynasty of immoral severance

[Chorus]

Rivers of filth flowing
From the portal of Abysmal Lust

Porneia birthing desolation
From the portal of Abysmal Lust

[Bridge 1]

Neural decay
Degenerate
Night and day
Your brain wastes away

Rewired pathways
Abnormal state
Breeding dismay
No sense of identity

[Verse 2] IM & AB

Ejaculate
Try to escape
Pleasure won't save
From your reality

Coursing through veins
Wholly depraved
Covetous slave
To Carnality

Hundreds becoming one flesh
Fractured personality
Forgotten within climax
Torturous mass of avidity

None left without STDs
Souls lost in tragedy
By suicide and HIV
Death displayed on their funeral screens

Their families are mourning
Sons and Daughters are betrayed
By the enemy
Of their immortal souls

[Statistics/Scripture Bridge]

A porn industry survivor stated that 100% of other porn industry survivors she knew had attempted suicide and suffered from severe depression, mental disorders, alcohol, and drug addiction, and most she knew were dead. In fact many of the popular pornstars viewed online today are currently dead.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but following Holy Spirit brings life and peace.

[Verse 3]

Think you're alone
Hidden within
The veil of darkness

Beware of the Nachash
Prowling
In your bedrooms

Seeking prey to devour
Sexual demons of the night

Incubus
Succubus
Sleep paralysis

[Outro Pt 1]

Proclaiming freedom
While wearing the shackles of lust

Billions worldwide partake
In illusions hypnotized

Addicted to their own destruction
Feeding the rotting grotesque machine of the beast

Losing blood forsaken by normality
Crawling limbless through the labyrinth of horrors

[Outro Pt 2]

Lusting for the dead and dying
Empire of corpses
Accursed vile industry
Generational curses

(Exodus 34:6-7)

Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers onto the children of the third and fourth generation.”

But the blessing of the Lord endures forever.


6) Incendium Ex Miseria
4:26, lyrics:
[Verse 1]

I see armies enslaved in suffering
A damned militia of fools in scalding chains
I witness defleshed souls stacked towering
Blinded Multitudes in flames wandering

[Bridge]

Gnashing of teeth
Gouging of eyes
Infernal priests
Breathing forth lies

[Chorus] x2

Incendium Ex Miseria
Incendium Ex Miseria

[Verse 2]

Death will be the final sovereignty
Hate will reign through your tears of pain
Futile prayers are screamed in vanity
Hope is now your bleak disdain

[Verse 3]

Enslaved by the Falsehoods of worthless filth
Your puppet shepherd decapitated
Doctrines of vile prophecies are fulfilled
Your delusional king wears a rotten crown

[Scripture Bridge]

If anyone doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth for all eternity.

Descending
Descending

[Outro]

Descend into the lair of Baphomet
Limb by limb slaughtering the Nephilim
Demon Lords begging to cease agony
No escape from this brutal massacre

(Scripture ref. John 15:6 & Matthew 13:42)


7) Maveth Naw-Dakh
5:10, lyrics:
[Intro]

Lucifer
Bearer of light
Consumed
With fear and pride
A wicked quest
To rule the skies
Banished and damned
Godhood denied

[Verse 1]

Samael planted the tree
Perverting His story
Taste and recognize the black sea
Of the iniquity
The serpent spilled out filth and lies
Blinding creations eyes
Adam ate of the forbidden curse
Birthing the fall of the perfect Earth

[Chorus 1]

Maveth Naw-Dakh
Death is Banished
Maveth Naw-Dakh
This is Resurrection

[Chorus 2]

If anyone is in Christ
He is a New Creation
The old has passed away
The new has come

[Verse 2]

Merciful judge of eternal affection
Intent on granting supreme election
Through blameless immaculate conception
Elohim clothed in mortal perfection
The only breath of sovereign reflection
Obedient through all my afflictions
Bearing symptoms of sins infection
Destined to exile my rejection

[Verse 3]

Pilate spake who do you desire
The people chant give us Barabbas
The Lamb slaughtered in our place
Unrecognizable and gushing blood
Divinity crushed by the wicked state
The crown of thorns their fatal mistake
Christ was crucified for humanities sake
Tetelestai the Holy Messiah spake

[Bridge]

Yeshua felt all the agony
Intended for my eternity
Holy wrath of indignation poured out
Upon the flesh of iniquity

[Verse 4]

Glorified King entered evil's domain
Crushing the head of the vile snake
With one step He dethroned the grave
The keys of death and Hell wholly enslaved
The veil torn, Heaven rained invisible flames
All the wicked can now stand without blame
Eternally defeating our sin and shame
All shall bow to the name above all names

[Outro]

Whoever believes in me
will not perish but have eternal life
I did not come to condemn the world
But through me it might be saved

"Forgive me of all my sins I repent of all my rebellion
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit Baptize me in Fire"

It is no longer you who lives But Christ who lives through you
You must never return To your former way of life

YOU MUST NEVER RETURN TO YOUR FORMER WAY OF LIFE

8) Ruinous Carnal Seduction
5:49, lyrics:
[Verse 1]

Dragged away clawing by an unholy whore
Yet still you come calling and asking for more
Godless desires breed untimely death
Pernicious charming by lies of Lillith

Ensnared by harlotry and lust of the eyes
Partake in debauchery and face your demise
Enticed by adultery the fallen design
Woeful allurement as beauty disguised

[Chorus]

Ruinous carnal seduction
Taste her flesh before your destruction
Ruinous Carnal Seduction
Draped in sin, mortiferous judgement

[Verse 2]

Lips dripping honey all over the floor
Hexed by enthrallment walk into her door
Sorcery and perfume her bedspread adorned
Ecstasy euphoria eternally scorned

Legions of demons latch on to your soul
Torment and misery and pain overflows
Trapped and enchanted impaled by the bliss
Agony damnation from one lethal kiss

[Bridge]

Love has become Decay
You sought identity in lust's grave
Morbid fantasies of hate
The bloodied Embodiment of shame

[Verse 3]

Rampant illicit sex birthing disease
Virulent bacteria spreads through the blood stream
Throbbing inflammation in joints and the bones
Pain never-ending embrace your sorrow

Boundless lamenting Affliction within
Insidious parasites devour the skin
Mephitic syphilis and cancer abound
Ceaseless miasmic plague leaves you underground

[Outro]

The Rotting organs bringing forth internal collapse
The Putrid sickness putrid sickness infernal synapse
Fatal virus eaten by the rats
Fatal virus eaten by the rats
Constantly wailing constantly wailing malignant climax


9) Insanity's Grasp
5:07, lyrics:
[Intro]

Light up and take a puff of infernal smoke
Blinded bloodshot eyes set ablaze with no hope
Trying to numb the worst pain makes it only grow
Feeling depression entangling your calloused soul

[Verse 1]

Delving into a false reality
Twisting perverting what is true
Pleasure amazing brings fatality
Let deadly apathy become you
Motionless suspended in time deceased
Searing lungs and organs from within
Scorching cells in cranial cavity
Burning destroying common sense

[Chorus] x2

Insanity grasped around your throat
This forsaken prison is your home
Inanity drowns the life you know
This immortal torture is your own

[Bridge]

Do you understand that you have lost everything
Goals and aspirations die in passivity
Can't you taste the panic seeping into your heart
Flaming subjugation tearing down all you love

[Verse 2]

Invincibility worth nothing for mortals
Rage and hatred flowing through veins
Initiating self destruction euphoria
Angel dust brings a Hellish fate

Adrenaline racing power so divine
Bullets piercing flesh postponing death
Thoughts catastrophic of impending doom
Delusions of grandeur wandering in the sewer

[Verse 3]

Injecting a horrid tragedy
overtaking normality
Consuming all rationality
Intravenous peril increase
Worsening the pure Insomnia
As the days and nights rot away
Trapped and bewitched in fake ecstasy
barren endless like quicksand

[Verse 4]

Perception deteriorates and confusion creeps in
Screaming at nothing in terror of the unseen
Laughing maniacally at your own demise
Descending into dreams and never to wake again

[Outro]

Clawing away mutilation of thoughts
Locked inside a decaying mind
Evisceration of mental balance
Lunacy pollutes the psyche
Delirium reigning on eternal throne
Senselessness feeding neurosis
Swimming in oceans of aberration
Psychopathic hysteria

Welcome to your own Hell


10) Unholy Asylum
4:26, lyrics:
[Verse 1]

My veins are hallways plagued with screams of the dead
My mind is Ravaged as the demons they spread
My soul wants life but it's rotting instead
My cries echo off the walls in my head

[Pre-Chorus] x2

Lost
Enslaved
Wandering in skin
Lost
Enslaved
Wandering in skin

[Verse 2]

My thoughts are a labyrinth of horrors
My words are vain hollow noise
My acts are of the Destroyer
My ears drown in his dark voice

[Bridge]

Staring through the bars of my eyes
Yearning to escape my design
Clawing tallies in my flesh cage
Climbing out of my living grave

[Chorus] x2

My flesh is an unholy asylum
My flesh is an unholy asylum

[Verse 3]

My conscience bathing in the pools of despair
My spirit sinking in the lake of terror
My pain exceeding beyond what I can bear
My fate's consumed when I look in the mirror

[Outro]

Reanimate my fallen corpse
Tear this sin from my bones
Regenerate my life as Yours
Rend the skies, call me home


11) Nemesis of Immortality
7:00, lyrics:
[Intro]

From the dawn of time
I became wholly evil
Deifyed in Eden
I beguiled all God's creation
Entombed within a stone heart of decaying flesh
I am leeching life force from you till nothing is left

[Verse 1]

Pumping stolen mortal blood
through the obsolete
Pneuma finite winter swirling within
Lawless heartless calloused
mind will and emotions
Believe nothing I have spoken or will ever say

[Chorus]

I am the omni-deceiving one
I am the nemesis of Yahweh's Son
I make my carnal abode within
A shallow grave is my closest friend

[Verse 2]

Carnal malice rotten solace are emanating
Bereft cancer deadly trances these flow from me
Lost in violence constant fighting none control me
Lust for beauty no loyalty satisfying me

[Verse 3]

Poison good deeds false charity motivating me
No unity fallow mercy so captivating
Fallen nature fatal danger coursing through me
Conceit ruling haughty prideful crown me as king

[Scripture Bridge] (Matthew

The words you speak flow from me that is what defiles you and makes you unclean

For out of my abundance your mouth speaks

For Yahweh the Triune Godhead has put eternity within me

[Bridge 2]

I plant hatred in your mind
Until the end of all time on this Earth
Predator of the divine
Thirsting to feast on the carcasses of angels

Thoughts enslaved in lawlessness
Until you take your final breath you are mine
Enemy of victory
Learn to relish in defeat I must bring

[Bridge 3]

Throne of sins indwelling
All peoples, tongues, and tribes
must wear my chains
Wear my chains

[Chorus Pt 2]

I'll keep your soul writhing in my chains
Blissfully you're following my name
My iniquity knows no bounds
My aspirations drag you into the ground

[Outro]

I am he, festering, I can't speak, you must listen
I love death, I steal your breath, perpetually

1) King of Immense Glory
4:32, lyrics:
Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

Despite all the bad
what we do to the Earth
he continues to love us
he also tests us

What we can do
in exchange for him
is to glorify him
forever and for Always

Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

If we pray
he already knows what we are asking
he prepares the way for us
he is our shepherd

I pray the Father
the Son and the Holy Spirit
the Trinity protects us
my soul hopes in his word

Oh King of immense Glory
your house is built
on the rock
nothing can break it down
not even the rain
not even the strong wind

The tolling of the bell
mark the hours of the Lord
he created time
he reigns over it and over us

Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory
Oh King of immense Glory


2) Saint Michael and the Dragon
3:43, lyrics:
Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.

We must defeat all the evil
as Archangel Michael defeat the Dragon
the warrior, Prince of God
we invoke against evil

St. Archangel Michael
You lead the army of God
against the eternal adversary,
light against darkness

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in the struggle,
through your beneficial protection,
we are free from all our spiritual enemies.

We cast out Satan from us,
let's not be fooled,
but in the Lord we put our faith,
he leads us on the right path

I was once a sinner too,
I wandered and turned God away from me,
but then Jesus came to see me,
and now it lives in me

I will no longer fall into temptation,
I will not be fooled,
every day I pray to Michael the archangel,
and all the angelic choirs

Together we will crush Satan
We will destroy it forever
He and his demons be damned
We will stab him with the sword

It will not be able to reach the sky
He will perish under divine goodness
And so finally
It will be the kingdom of God

The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.

We must defeat all the evil
as Archangel Michael defeat the Dragon
the warrior, Prince of God
we invoke against evil

St. Archangel Michael
You lead the army of God
against the eternal adversary,
light against darkness

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in the struggle,
through your beneficial protection,
we are free from all our spiritual enemies.

We cast out Satan from us,
let's not be fooled,
but in the Lord we put our faith,
he leads us on the right path

I was once a sinner too,
I wandered and turned God away from me,
but then Jesus came to see me,
and now it lives in me...


3) In the Depths of Hearts
3:49, lyrics:
A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of Hearts
faith and hope awaken

With humility, and love
everything can only get better
with charity and positivity
we help ourselves and others

He decided to walk among us,
to abide within us
in whoever has faith in him
because we are his temple

He died for us,
we must be grateful to him
he revealed his heart to us
because we are his flock

His is the sea, he made it,
his hands shaped the earth
let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
Let us draw near to him to give him thanks

We have to be better people
learn from his son
Imitate him in everything
and follow his teachings

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

When night falls
I'm no longer afraid,
because you are with me
I trust in you

Always be praised
Always be magnified
You will defeat the eternal adversary
Only the Lamb will remain

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

Lord our God,
Protect us from temptation,
Make that only faith in you
fill our heart

The Holy Trinity
It will give us strength.
We will not stop before our enemies,
We will turn the other cheek

Glory be to the father and the son
and to the holy spirit,
glory be to the Virgin Mary
and to the holy Church

Glory to the angelic choirs
to all the saints and blessed
to those who have fallen asleep
in the hope of resurrection

A new dawn rises
when the Holy Spirit descends in me
In the depths of  Hearts
faith and hope awaken

In the Depths of Hearts
In the Depths of Hearts


4) Psalm 149
3:57, lyrics:
Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise his name with dancing
  and make music to him with timbrel and harp
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
 he crowns the humble with victory.

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations
 and punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings with fetters
their nobles with shackles of iron,

to carry out the sentence written against them
 this is the glory of all his faithful people.

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

Let them praise his name with dancing
 and make music to him with timbrel and harp
For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.

Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,

to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings with fetters
 their nobles with shackles of iron,

Sing a new song to the Lord;
praise of him in the assembly of the faithful.


5) Way to Calvary
4:04, lyrics:
Everyone carries his cross
Like Christ towards Calvary
But he knew he had to do it
He did it for us

He asked God to forgive them
because they did not know what they were doing
He endured evil man made

He endured the oppression
and humiliation
he died for us

And he has risen for us
in spite of everything
we must be like him
endure not just expect something

So many people make mistakes,
not believing in him they are wrong
But in the end
we will all be judged

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching

Jesus, shouting with a loud voice, said:
"Father, into your hands
I commit my spirit."
Having said this, he died.

Everyone carries his cross
Like Christ towards Calvary
But he knew he had to do it
He did it for us

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching

On the way to Calvary
On the way to Calvary

On the way to Calvary,
Christ suffered but continued
he died for us
this is the greatest teaching.


6) Heaven Is Here on Earth
3:58, lyrics:
Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

Once man lived in Eden
Then we let ourselves go
to forbidden temptations
And we were cast out

This means that if we want
We can go back there
just abandon the wrong path
To return to that place

That place of peace,
where we have everything we need
where the Lord lives with us
and we lack nothing

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

We work hard to appear,
to enjoy, to get more
when we should only
rely on him

God is our Father,
he never deceives us
he alone can judge us
and forgive us

Therefore we must honor him
and don't forget about him
this life is a breath
death is eternal

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

For those who live without faith
and does not rely on God
eternity does not wait for him,
but the eternal punishment

we must pray
and we must live each day with faith
we will feel better
and we will treat others better

Because Heaven is here
the earth is God's garden
where his feet rest
as he sits on the Holy Throne

Anger, envy and arrogance
let them go
Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth

Once man lived in Eden
Then we let ourselves go
to forbidden temptations
And we were cast out

This means that if we want
We can go back there
just abandon the wrong path
To return to that place

That place of peace,
where we have everything we need
where the Lord lives with us
and we lack nothing

Even if we don't see it
Heaven is here on Earth (x4)


7) Learn to Let It Go
3:32, lyrics:
It happens in life
of having too many attachments
we get distracted
for useless things

We no longer distinguish
the true from the false
and more we have
we want more

But we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
he does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

Let's not get attached
to vices and objects,
those will end
instead God is eternal

When we lose
something
we shouldn't be angry
but we should think about eternity

As Jesus taught
"follow me
and leave the dead
bury their dead"

That is, let it go
the material
to follow him
in all.

But we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
he does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

We should learn from people
like St. Francis,
he had it all
but he gave up by vocation

If we dedicate ourselves
totally to God
life will be more beautiful
and less painful

Otherwise
if we think only of us
or what we have
it will be eternal damnation

We don't realize
how lucky we are
to be able to praise God
to have received his teachings

Because we have the Lord
he stays with us
if we want it
does not abandon us

He will judge us
for how we have lived
whoever lives in his name
will be rewarded

Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go

Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go
Learn to let it go, learn to let it go

1) Death Is Just the Beginning
2:50, lyrics:
All pain is nothing more here
Completely suffocate your breath
Lamenting yourself forever
Never forget this
Death is just the beginning

Immaculate soul
Separate of yours estimated sons
Those who follow your law
And demonstrate loyalty, slavery
By the sin and the flesh

Death, you don't know what is this
Your suffer is nothing to compare near to my Lord
Die and die again
Is so little for your and thou rotten god

Blasphemical lifes infesting with sin
Ways and beliefs of true and respect
Empty corpses without life and charity
Rotten scum of creation
Death is just the beginning

Death, you don't know what is this
Your suffer is nothing to compare near to my Lord
Die and die again
Is so little for your and thou rotten god

For you and your acts of confuse creed
Your dementia is a crazy opportunity
Deny thou ways and skills of putrefy
Get loose your spirit for the purity
Deny yourself and to be free

Many gods desires your soul
And for whom you will give is your question
Eternal lamentation and suffering for your flesh
Or all that thou heart crave for all life

Receive Jesus or must to die
Receive Jesus or must to die
But death is just the beginning.

Guest appearance:
Docile Servant - Drums (tracks 1+2)

The cassette is single-sided.

1) The True Art of Isolation
3:42, lyrics:
To exclude the mind from needs and lust
To drive away the illusions of pleasure
The items that bring no peace nor mental treasure
To deny the true human nature
To push aside the snakes and it's whispers
In hopes to one day be free from ego
And all its desires
To walk the path imperfect, perfectly
I'll notice my mistakes and repent the taste
My will
Be strong with God


2) Seraphim
2:35, lyrics:
Angels of highest grace
Mysterious in all holy ways
Divine purity is your state
Along God's throne you wait
Watching the universe
Making sure all is in place
Angels of highest grace
Your essence blinds the wicked
Devils to ash
Evil is cast
Seraphim a holy majesty


3) Chaos of My Wicked Ways
6:26, lyrics:
My mind wonders back to my wicked ways
All the pain I inflicted onto the ones who showed me love
Blasphimised Christ in all devilish ways
I destroyed my relationship with fate
I am haunted
For I was once corrupt
My soul filled with sulfur
Hate, lust and pain was what I craved
Though Christ has found me
The demons still laugh
masquerading as suicide within mind
O how they dance
O God Father please hear me
Even if my past sins lead me to Hell
I'm still proud to serve thee

2) Inhaling Dust
4:14, lyrics:
I fall apart as I pray for the ones on Earth
I inhale dust as I try to repeat the prayer without ceasing
Tears of blood for they lack the Trinity
Tears of blood as they are blinded by oblivion
They seek to be free
Giving into what the body needs
Man lacks the spirit
His soul lacks the spirit


3) To Deny the New Church Order
5:42, lyrics:
I will not subject to the new church order
I will not pray to the chapel of leftist corruption
I will not partake in the ritual of abortion
I will not accept trans body distortion
They fill the mind with lies
The corrupt children lives
The Evil one behind everything you believe is right
Reptile demons slithering through the night
Who do you pray to?
The pagan gods that choked on the dust of time?
Who do you pray to?
The government and its social lies?
Execute me as I pray to the Lord
Execute me as I speak of the Trinity
EXECUTE me for speaking the truth

Psalm 50 (single, 31 March, 2022, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
 
Written on Bandcamp:
All sales will be donated to the nonprofit Punks and Monks linktr.ee/punksandmonks
From there the founds will go to help the Chapel at Holy Trinity Monastery In Akhalkalaki, Georgia
punksandmonks.com/the-chapel-at-holy-trinity-monastery-in-akhalkalaki-georgia/
 
This psalm is numbered 51 in the Masoretic, and 50 in the Septuagint.
The lyrics don't line up with any translation I can find. It seems to mostly be adapted from "Brenton's Septuagint Translation" yet it's not 100% the same.

1) Psalm 50
5:54, lyrics:
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy great mercy: according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out mine iniquity. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge mine iniquity: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy words, and prevail when Thou art judged. For behold, I was shapened in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me. For behold, Thou hast loved truth: the unclear and hidden things of Thy wisdom Thou hast made clear to me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me to hear joy and gladness: the bones which Thou hast broken shall rejoice. Turn away Thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation: and steady me with a guiding Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways: and the impious shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips: and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For if hadst Thou desired sacrifice, I would have given it Thee: Thou delightest not in burnt offerings. Sacrifices to God are a contrite spirit: a contrite and humble heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Thy good will unto Sion: that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole-burnt offerings: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.

1) In Light of the Shadow Moon
1:51, instrumental

2) Sacred Rites of the Unrighteous and Depraved
5:16, lyrics:
Hahn!
Unrighteous and depraved;
a purgatory expedite;
To unwind the chalice of the end;
Soothe and a cully brood;

Terratory co-ensign;
Forward to the battle of the AEON!
May their baskin be unsewn;
For fear of a heinous dark;

Look down, for there's nothing to regain!
As they fall from infiniti's;
Unbenevel their bosom reich;

So they fall thoust fire from below;

Entranced to an upward scale;
They fool to light that they missed;
Never to be thought again;

Thout hatred preaches the darkest!

Hahn!

Nebulous and illgotten gain;
Suffer the spiral graft;
(To die in the Rich;)
And shattered to utter oblivion;
There is no shelter;
There was no saviour;
To hear your cries;
And heed you to the grace of divinity;
No more fools look upward;
To ingrace the skyne;
Do not cry out;
And do not prayt;
Your Rites are dead ;
And Left Depravity;
That has flamed you to death!
And burn you in the deep!


3) Vow of the Undying
7:21, lyrics:
Bite the hand that feeds;
A sword now often drawn;
Don't sing the sorrows of a nebulous reign;
Or repent the sins of a thousand Chapter!
In darkness suffer the deep! (deep!)
For there's no light to find ye hither!
No soul to soothe ye dying;
Only a vow that dies in pain;
Sway to the south and east;
For your kings have fallen the sun;
And darken the sun;
And perish unto oblivion!

Hahn!

Vow of the Undying;

Bite the hand that feeds;
A sword now often drawn;
Don't sing the sorrows of a nebulous reign;
Or repent the sins of a thousand Chapter!
In darkness suffer the deep! (deep!)
For there's no light to find ye hither!
To the darkest sun;
Perish unto oblivion!


4) Battle for Zion
9:12, lyrics:
Lords of the Realm; grant us ascension;
Grant us the armor; defending Zion;
Out from the skies;
Temples oblivion; and the Aeon ends;
Armours clash; and demons are fallen;
Towards the abyss;

Hahn!

Lords of the Realm; grant us reprieve
Repise of patrons; defending Zion
Out from the skies;
Temples oblivion; and the Aeon ends;
Demons descend; and demons are fallen;
Toward the abyss;

The battle for Zion; and Aeons end;
The plaguers of a Gracion; put to an blayde;
Nations of judgement; put to a rein;
Neglect the ledgers; to rid us of spite;

O' a battle for worthy; a battle for Source;
kill the heathen chaplet; and Dayguard the sun;
For there is oblivion; and there is destruction;
For those of fear and in faith;
Among the chapters of faith; Distinguish evil;
And hinder darkness;

O' a battle for worthy; a battle for Source;
kill the heathen chaplet; and Dayguard the sun;

Hahn!

O' a battle for worthy; a battle for Source;
kill the heathen chaplet; and Dayguard the sun;
For there is oblivion; and there is destruction;
For those of fear and in faith;
Among the chapters of faith; Distinguish evil;
And hinder darkness;

For there is oblivion; and there is destruction;
For those of fear and in faith;
Among the chapters of faith; Distinguish evil;
And hinder darkness;

The battle for Zion; and Aeons end;
The plaguers of a Gracion; put to an blayde;
Nations of judgement; put to a rein;
Neglect the ledgers; to rid us of spite;

While I Suffer (album, 11 March, 2021, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

"Depicted on the album cover is Therese Neumann (1898-1962), a German Catholic mystic, stigmatic, and victim-soul."

Lyrics all taken verbatim from the KJV Bible.

1) Nigh unto the Grave
4:06, lyrics:
(Psalm 88:1-5a)

O Lord
God of my salvation
I have cried
Day and night before Thee

Let my prayer
Come before thee
Incline thine ear
Unto my cry...

For my soul
Is full of troubles
And my life draweth nigh
Unto the grave

I am counted with them
That go down to the pit
I am as a man
That hath no strength

Free among the dead
Like the slain
That lie in the grave...


2) Waves of Affliction
5:23, lyrics:
(Psalm 88:5b-7)

Whom Thou
Rememberest no more
And they are cut off
From Thy hand

Thou hast laid me
In the lowest pit
In darkness
In the deeps

Thy wrath
Lieth hard upon me
And Thou hast afflicted me
With all thy waves...

Whom Thou
Rememberest no more
And they are cut off
From Thy hand

Thou hast laid me
In the lowest pit
In darkness
In the deeps

Thy wrath
Lieth hard upon me
And Thou hast afflicted me
With all thy waves...


3) Morning Prayer
6:00, lyrics:
(Psalm 88:8-14)

Thou
Hast put away
Mine acquaintance
Far from me

Thou hast made me
An abomination unto them

I am shut up
And I cannot come forth

Mine eye mourneth
By reason of my affliction

Lord, I have called
Daily upon me
I have stretched out my hands
Undo Thee

Wilt Thou shew wonders
To the dead?
Shall the dead
Arise and praise Thee?

Shall Thy lovingkindness
Be declared in the grave?
Or Thy faithfulness
In destruction?

Shall Thy wonders
Be known in the dark?
And Thy righteousness
In the land of forgetfullness?

But unto Thee
Have I cried, O Lord..

And in the morning
Shall my prayer prevent Thee

Lord, why castest Thou off my soul?
Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?


4) While I Suffer
7:43, lyrics:
(Psalm 88:15-18)

I am afflicted
And ready to die
From my youth up

While I suffer
Thy terrors
I am distracted

Thy fierce wrath
Goeth over me...
Thy terrors
Have cut me off...

They came round about me daily
Like water

They compassed me
About together

Lover and friend
Hast thou put far from me
And mine acquaintance
Into darkness...

I am afflicted
And ready to die
From my youth up

While I suffer
Thy terrors
I am distracted

Thy fierce wrath
Goeth over me...
Thy terrors
Have cut me off...

They came round about me daily
Like water

They compassed me
About together

Lover and friend
Hast thou put far from me
And mine acquaintance
Into darkness...


5) Sinking
4:51, lyrics:
(Psalm 69:1-5)

Save me, O God
For the waters
Are come in
Unto my neck

I sink in deep mire
Where there is no standing
I am come into deep waters
Where the floods overflow me

I am weary of my crying
My throat is dried
Mine eyes fail
While I wait for my God

They that hate me without cause
Are more than the hairs of my head

They that would destroy me
Being mine enemies wronfully
Are mighty
Then I restored
That which I took not away...

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness
And my sins are not hidden from Thee


6) Sanctification - In the Multitude of Thy Mercies
8:52, lyrics:
(Psalm 69:5-14a1)

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness
And my sins are not hid from Thee

Let not them that wait on thee
O Lord God of hosts,
Be ashamed for my sake

Let not those that seek Thee
Be confounded for my sake
O God of Israel

Because for thy sake
I have borne reproach
Shame hath covered my face

I am become a stranger
Unto my brethren
An an alien
Unto my mother's children

For the zeal of Thine House
Hath eaten me up
And the reproaches of them that reproached thee
Are fallen upon me...

When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting
That was to my reproach...

I made sackcloth also my garment
And I became a proverb to them...

They that sit in the gate
Speak against me
And I was the song
Of drunkards...

But as for me, my prayer is unto Thee O Lord
In an acceptable time, O God
In the multitude of Thy mercy
Hear me
In the truth of Thy salvation

Deliver me...

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness
And my sins are not hid from Thee

Let not them that wait on thee
O Lord God of hosts,
Be ashamed for my sake

Let not those that seek Thee
Be confounded for my sake
O God of Israel

Because for thy sake
