lyrics

Falling into orbit and raiding a new planet
Wage war with all dominant beings
Destroy the ozone and let the global warming take over
With squids from our solar system

We come to cause destruction
Inferior alien species— your life is mine
Taking down your planets natural shield
Watch your home temperature rise

Fire rains from the skies
This is a slower way to die
Heat the planet thousands of degrees
Watching your eyes boil and melt out of their sockets

Your green alien skin begins to bubble and warp
Your blue blood is boiling in your veins
Stay away from salvation because there is none to be found
Bend over and hand me the crown
I'm the emperor of the universe

The tyrant of all of skies alike
Spontaneous combustion of the land
Like a modern day pilgrim
Trails of tears between the planets
An easy trial to follow
Don't look back because I'm right here
Disassemble your limbs
Rip out the unfamiliar organs

Create jewelry from your body parts as a trophy
A prize for every race that has fallen
A jar filled with what was once your land

A pit stop between earth and my next destination
Stabbing stratospheres is the easiest way for mass murder
A pit stop between earth and my next destination
Stabbing stratospheres

Fire rains from the skies
This is a slower way to die
Heat the planet thousands of degrees
Watching your eyes boil

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
