1.	Assyrian Wrath 05:59	lyrics
Destroy opposition Slaughter population without hestitation. Betray government. Regeim deconstrution Decay of a nation Ruler of Oppression Armies upon there walls Burning civilization Holy revolution Condemn liberation Ending dynasty. Terrorize the unsuspecting We will rise. Reduced to nothing. Burning what once prospered Hunger for the slaughter For them, no safe haven Carnage in the house of God Destroy all their temples Deface all their idols Rape and defile all who oppose Assyrian Wrath Lead armies into death. Arrows blackening the sky Siege, conquer all. Leaving none alive. Cry tears of pain. Your home is laid to waste. I am the end. Bring humanity down to it's knees.
2.	Empire of Ruin 06:28	lyrics	buy track
Dismantled reign, toppled by the slain. Forever in pieces, the ruins of an empire. The pestilence and disease, no one to light the pyre. City of lights now a kingdom forgotten. Lo' and behold! A society rotten. Turned from stone to dust. Fallen is the empire. Remains of a once great nation. Armageddon came as foretold. The results of a thousand years of debauchery. Now they are ended like sodom Annihilated by God Holy genocide Destroying what they once knew. Fallen is the empire. Heretics of a modern age. Pessimist's war, terrorism plagued. A priceless whore, corporate enslaved. America the great, now the ruins of an empire. Fallen is the empire. Ending is the dynasty.
3.	Imprint 05:50	lyrics	buy track
Lost, I can't find my way toward you. Left the Earthly realm for this hell. Two faces tell me of a serpentine tale, of an incestuous parasite. Our past haunts us. We can't escape. Spirits of lost souls toll. Your love is gone, there's no way out. I can't bring her back. Long, long ago in a broken home. Mother and father are sinners in sin. Bastard corpses flow where the drink runs dry. Pictures in blood depicting hell. Incest, Madness, Murder, Door to hell. Hung by a rope, suspended by the feet. Needles under nails, her fingers bleed. Vanity cost your lover's life. Can you trust a whore to pull the trigger and end them both. I loved you. I waited for you. Murdered out of vanity. Alone I am, I deserve this hell. I can never come back.
4.	Tempest 08:52	lyrics	buy track
Her cold eyes (motionless) gaze one more time at the sight (murderous) of my knife. Her last words (callousness) a breathless wind. So beautiful (radiance) after death. Fair was her hair in the wind. God absolve me of my sin. How can he forgive what I've done? What will I be with her gone? Never has this pain been worse, than when I first felt remorse. Moving through what can't be reversed. Now I must live with this curse. Now I see their souls burning. Buried in the ground with their lies. Here in the end, wither again. Lying in the grave, love betrays. Death the only way to escape a fate worse than hell, go on living. When all that is left is an empty shell and I shall dwell on these words; goddamn her soul.

about

WrätH San Francisco, California

In April of 2010, 4 students attending balboa high school started rehearsing at lunch time in the band room, spontaneously writing what would become the first original songs. After playing a few shows and a two year hiatus, the band's current line up formed out of the separation of another band. In late 2014, the band recorded their first EP, Empire of Ruin. ... more
