vizviros Such an underrated band first of all! This album was the last that I heard in order. I started with The Eldritch Realm, then Let there be light and last but not least Saturnine. I was not disappointed, in the contrary. Parius for me is one of these few bands that manage to create only fucking A type of albums...nothing less....as always amazing riffs, drumming, solos, vocals, atmosphere and overall incredible musical dexterity, cohesion and love for METAL\\m// Favorite track: Fresh Graves, Old Tombs.

Extraterrestrial Insectoid race from another world We must destroy out of our own ignorance Formics we must destroy them all if we wish to survive Mazer Rackham teach me how to defeat these foes The intensity of my task is slowly wearing me down Molecular disruption device Doctor Doctor Device Use the weapons of destruction I no longer wish to play this game Kill every last one of them xenocide This is no simulation I have been cast out for my brilliance There is no place for me on this earth I will colonize this world Psychic link between the Queen and I Psychic link share with me your thoughts Speaker for the dead I will chronicle all that you have told me I will chronicle all that I have heard Hive Queen and the Hegemon

Chamragnagar is on our heels, we’re running for our lives Through space advance and escape demise We are running out of time We are running out of time He exists in… We see pillars of flame The great burning entity engulfs what he has made Eater of stars, destroyer of worlds Chamragnagar is on our heels, running for our lives Crushing planets to spacial dust Caught in the gravitational pull Inching slowly towards galactic termination Inching slowly towards galactic termination His face appears, we see We see it now (Solo - Rauch) Inching slowly towards galactic termination Inching slowly towards galactic termination Inching slowly towards galactic termination Inching slowly towards galactic termination

What lies in the crypt? Demon’s blood used to write the grimoire of the dead Incantations spoken in satanic dialects The ground, burned, beneath where it lies The text’s cover bound in demon hide Inferno Chaotic swirl Ashes will fly The anger of the firegod The crypt blackened from the ash left in the air Lost in a maze with no way out left to despair Stumbling through dark my hands blackened and burned In complete disarray the tunnel twists and turns Inferno Chaotic swirl Ashes will fly The grave of the firegod Now burn the face of the earth and see it’s all the same Burn the face of the earth, and see that nothing’s changed (Solo - Rauch) Now burn the face of the earth and see it’s all the same Burn the face of the earth, and see that nothing’s changed In the crypt power you sought But in the end for life you fought It held within secrets most dark The grave of the firegod

Marching forward always subservient To the one known as the father One horrific eye place in the forehead Lines cover the bodies of the mannequins Veins pumping with the blood of the innocent Souls used to animate their corpses Mannequin soldiers awaiting their orders Kept a secret for thousands of years One horrific eye place in the forehead Lines cover the bodies of the mannequins Clone upon clone ravaging Manufactured by the military The perfect undying soldier Mannequin soldiers awaiting their orders Kept a secret for thousands of years Bodies sewn by the philosopher Marching forward without any Fear (Solos - Rauch, Fenton) Mannequin soldiers awaiting their orders Kept a secret for thousands of years Bodies sewn by the philosopher Marching forward without any…

A cynical, decrepit, aging man driven to insanity Unable to accept his ever-present fate He knows his time is slipping, falling, diminishing His mind begins to unravel Within the folds is something maniacal Something horrific, grotesque, unthinkable Within his mind, Archaic Diabolical! Plotting underneath the earth Lines begin to connect Something in his mind just went and fucking snapped His eyes begin to redden as his anger explodes His mind begins to unravel Within the folds is something maniacal Something horrific, grotesque, unthinkable Within his mind, Archaic Diabolical! Bloodrage, intense disarray The walls are splattered and stained A work of art, though sickening and dark The knife now placed at his throat (Solo - Rauch) Bloodrage, intense disarray The walls are splattered and stained A work of art, though sickening and dark The knife now placed at his throat Thrust within which quiets the din Of the thoughts bedeviling his mind

Saturnine 02:28
Our faces obscured For those we deem unworthy Below us they strive Waiting for their time of glory But the day shall not be theirs Apostles to oblivion With Saturn on our side Carry his will through the night From him we receive the call We dub thee Those of the Saturnine Guardians of ancient knowledge Prophecies as cryptic as the lies we were told Harness the power of the stars And unleash upon this world Disappear in clouds of blood Children of gloom With Saturn on our side Carry his will through the night From him we receive the call We dub thee Those of the Saturnine In majesty evoke his name In secrecy we leave our mark How does this scum resist our cause We walk among them in plain sight Years have passed inside our promised land Ambrosia, our primal sustenance, keeps us immortal From the parasite, from the parasite Harness the flame, Harness the mist Bow to the Saturnine!

Confined 03:12
We are all destined to leave this earth Nothing left behind but a scar in the dirt The ephemeral nature of all mortal ties The ever-present fear of a sudden demise Ambivalent towards the outcome of life Overwhelmed with the fear that it all won't suffice A shadow looming at the precipice of night It permeates throughout, all succumb to it's might Thoughts that enfeeble, entangle the mind The righteous are scorned as the feeble arise Confined in this maze, where's the path where to go? The light doesn't shine in these depths I'm alone Cast out and broken / Spurned and rejected Razed to the ground / Enslaved and subjugated Show me a sign as I wander this earth A slave to my thoughts, taken at birth (Solo - Rauch) Confined in this maze, where's the path, where to go? The light doesn't shine in these depths I'm alone Ambivalent towards the outcome of life Overwhelmed with the fear that it all won't suffice Confined in this maze, where's the path where to go? The light doesn't shine in these depths I'm alone

Lake Laogai 03:31
(Solo - Fenton) Inside impenetrable walls a secret lies within Facades of great magnitude keep the citizens docile Led to believe, but made only to fear the cloaked ones Disembodied hands extend from outstretched arms Seeking to smother the truth behind the lies Brainwashed minions rise before their masters Lights circle endlessly hypnotizing creatures Atrophy of the servants mind wears away like sand Unable to withstand the questions she’s been asked Cracks appear upon the walls meant to keep us safe Evil works its way inside seeping through the city streets (Solo - Rauch) Lake Laogai the source of mind corruption Lake Laogai the source of mind corruption The vacation you never wanted to take Lake Laogai the source of mind corruption Secret catacombs deep beneath the city streets The cloaked one’s lair - source of malevolence Crystals line the wall leading down the way Agents of the false king aid the hulking beast Fire flows from the beast’s mouth Brother betrays his own kin The fallen prince honor is lost Lighting bursts from the mortal hands Your last trip down to Lake Laogai (Solo - Valera Godin) Disembodied hands extend from outstretched arms Seeking to smother the truth behind the lies Brainwashed minions rise before their masters Lights circle endlessly hypnotizing creatures

Quell an uprising Crush all morale Let no hope shine through murky water Beat them covered in blood and filth Sit upon the throne Progress can only be attained through violence Instill within them fear so they may obey Keep a foot firmly placed upon the head of all who believe they can overthrow my reign My control will carry on though death This throne is mine

Mistress of the sea, her beauty songs she plays Twists the hearts of man She resides upon corpses of the deceased, Escape is futile Condemned to suffer and die Nothing more than a memory Taking everything from you Murdering the ones you love See them die before your eyes There is no hope left for them Drowning just beneath the waves Mistress of the sea, her beauty songs she plays Twists the hearts of man She resides upon corpses of the deceased, escape is futile She’s got her fingers ‘round your throat Her gaze is oh so piercing Nails ripping through the flesh She’ll be the last thing you see She will end you where you stand You will see nothing Drowning just beneath the... (Solos - Rauch, Godin) You will drown You will drown The Silence Of The Sirens

Cries sent from the earth to foster the belief Beyond the veil of mortal ties weeping statues stand in salute They signal arrival of demons that come from inside Life dried up in drought the end of all belief Before the face of spectral might crooked servants suffer They carry the burden of fresh graves and old tombs Like sand through an hourglass, time slips away Like thoughts of affection, that will smolder and fade Standing at the crossroads and I’m telling you now There’s an answer to your questions and that answer's been found Warpath, violence, you stand defiant In world full of friction it all falls silent You owe it nothing, so let it all go Put this rope around your neck What have you got to lose? The aftermath, a sight to behold A gruesome centerfold A masterpiece put on display Of life’s tendency to just give up and wither away

When the sun begins to wane That is when we’ll rise up and track those we seek With undying lust the blood we smell sends us to another world We lust to taste it once again! Beyond this dark horizon, our mark has traveled not far from us, our target lies in utmost still Hiding from us, our rage filled frenzy Approaching now, the one hunted Thrill of the kill never gets old A game of sickening and dark desire Primal instincts kick in, taking over more so beast Than there was ever man Beyond this dark horizon, our mark has traveled Not far from us our target lies in utmost still Hiding from us, our rage filled frenzy Approaching now, the one hunted Pupils widen Blood is pooling Beneath the body (Solos - Mike DeMaria, Rauch, Chris Kelly, Fenton) Beyond Dark Horizons
