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!"
1:25, 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
