1.	Porphyric Hemophilia 06:09	lyrics	buy track
"A vast stillness enveloped me, as though all the world were asleep or dead--only broken by the low panting as of some animal close to me. I felt a warm rasping at my throat, then came a consciousness of the awful truth which chilled me to the heart and sent the blood surging up through my brain."
2.	Iridescent Resurgence 05:03	lyrics	buy track
"Woe betide those who awaken the sleeping venom spewers of the Dragon Isle, lest the iridescent spires rise again to afflict the populace with mellifluous poison!"
3.	Foray into Utter Darkness 08:37	lyrics	buy track
"Before us, a vast cavern, its walls and slick with the blood of foolhardy interlopers and the slime of shamblers from beyond the stars. Though our souls were gripped by the icy talons of mortal terror, we sallied forth into the environs of Those Who Dwell Below."
4.	Necrotic Colossus 06:11	lyrics	buy track
"A shower of sparks! A miasma of rust! Plasma drawn from flesh vats was fed to its artificial brain through plastic tubes. The biomechanical abomination clattered to life, driven by the command of those long dead to punish all those who disturbed its slumber."
5.	Sky Burial 05:12	lyrics	buy track
"Lammergeiers wheel overhead in the azure kettle of sky as the corpse is prepared for easier consumption."
6.	Imperium! 04:32	lyrics	buy track
"Ius esse belli ut qui vicissent iis quos vicissent quem ad modum vellent imperarent. Item populum Romanum victis non ad alterius praescriptum, sed ad suum arbitrium imperare consuesse." "The right of war was, that they who had conquered should govern those whom they had conquered, in what manner they pleased; that in that way the Roman people were wont to govern the nations which they had conquered, not according to the dictation of any other, but according to their own discretion."

about

"As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians - I command you, the Zaporozhian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks."

-- Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV

"O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.

Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother!

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!"

-- Koshovyi otaman Ivan Sirko, with the whole Zaporozhian Host
