1.	Horns of the Goat 01:20	lyrics
From their leviathan cities beyond our annihilation was forth spawned! in the night of it's first act, the wisemen could never've foretold the attack. centuries of prosperity razed to the ground in a maelstrom of fire and the shellings impact. They told us the end of our days, would be warm in the hands of our lord, but when bombs blast overhead and our children lie dead what power could be trusted to lead us ahead?
2.	Sowing Carnage Through the Fabrics of Time 04:14	lyrics
The fabrics of time, felled to mine grasp I ride through the celestial bodies Winds at my back Scourge of life, from birth to death You now serve my hand in aeternum The hellhounds I command Craving throats of the pious Their heads I demand I tear the fabrics of time Twisting reality to my… Own Desires The screams of man calling out The pleas and begging are… unheard! The hellhounds I command Have brought me the heads of the dead Their Souls I crave and consume! I tear the fabrics of time Twisting reality to my… Own Desires The screams of man calling out The pleas and begging are… unheard! The universe is in ruins No man shall stand to lay claim I reign eternal!
3.	Hymn of Cosmos 01:58
4.	Veiled One 04:51	lyrics
Wintered Winds blow Invoking an ancient ritual To call upon thee, Cailleach! Reign your undying wintered winds Upon These Lands Our immortal Cailleach, ….Rise! Ice cracks earth as you wake from slumber This mortal world, torn asunder Hammer of winter Strikes iron of land Cailleach… We summon you To invoke war among gods Solve Et Coagula Veiled one bring all hell upon this earth Strike ice into hearts of all Summoning total destruction Showing mercy to none Veiled one bring all hell upon this earth Strike with ice into hearts of all Cailleach! Master of Winter’s cold! Reign your undying wintered winds Upon These Lands Our immortal Cailleach, ….Rise! Ice cracks earth as you wake from slumber This mortal world, ice and cold Hammer of winter Strikes iron of land Cailleach… We summon you To invoke war among gods Solve Et Coagula Veiled one bring all hell upon this earth Strike ice into hearts of all Summoning total destruction Showing mercy to none Veiled one bring all hell upon this earth Strike with ice into hearts of all Cailleach! Master of Winter’s cold!
5.	Forging the Sparth 02:54	lyrics
The hammer strikes the steel I'm ready for the kill The heat of the forge The sweat on my brow In your skull, I form a gorge Meet your end from the Sparth The blade rips through Tearing your flesh My sparth is forged This weapon is my life With it I claim yours And take all that is yours The forge burns brighter In your skull, I form a gorge Meet your end from the Sparth The blade rips through Tearing your flesh My sparth is forged Embrace your new found darkness Close your eyes and feel the strike
6.	The Fallen Star 05:07	lyrics
A Fallen Star, from which all come To which all shall return The Fallen Star, to one The void calls out, and life fades away This world, the universe, fades to none.
