lyrics

Shadows arise on our final morning
To bleed us of our sight
Our ears struck deaf by the contagion
Swarming to usher in the night
Insidious is this corruption
And piercing as a blade
Despoiling all that falls before it
And leaving a garden where the dead are laid

Rivers run dry
The plague begins
His robes unfurling, the morbid reaper grins
Smoke fills the sky
Bishop takes king
As rapture falters,
And falls to suffering

From the crest
To the (earth)
Look upon
A sundered creation

As ghosts of dawn
Breathe dying air
And senseless, wander
Into the creature’s lair
The sceptre and the crown
Fall on unheeding ground
Subjugate life to despair

The tapestries of our grand illusion
Now hanging in disgrace
The seas may boil as the earth it chokes
Left in a vigil for a failed race
I, the scion of a desolate sun
When the ash blots out the sky
I, the figure that in judgment will sit
And proclaim the end as nigh

Death is struck, and nature quakes
As the end times come upon us
And the stone of ages breaks
Quid sum miser, tunc dicturus?

Fall! Wail!
In your halls of pestilence and greed
Kneel! Pray!
To your gods of law and deceit
Draw knives
Across your silver tongues
Repent
As you feel the ash in your lungs

(your time is now)
Breathe deep and die

Brutality. Refined.

For ASCARIS, this is more than just an empty maxim. It is a statement of intent, and the foundation upon which their unique style of Extreme Metal is built. Uncompromising in both vision and vitriol, only the finest will suffice for this UK trio. ... more
