Terrible darkness descending upon the galaxy
And we shall not see it ended in our lifetimes
A mysterious race of robotic skeletal warriors
Soulless creations and servants of the Star Gods
They have been waiting million of years in their stasis-tombs
To wake up in grim purpose: to stride across the stars once again
Ripe for conquest and the restoration of their empire
They goal: to bring the galaxy under their rule once more
Their technological prowess is unmatched
By anyone in the galaxy
The undying have come to reclaim their lands
And the living shall be swept aside
The unstoppable, undying
Necron legions are rising
Let the galaxy beware
They are coming
Their lost all forms of compassion and empathy
Becoming ruthless, undying killing machines
They shall rule supreme for all eternity
Undying, cruel and utterly implacable

Birth Of The Star Gods
05:24

Just as the stars gave birth
To their children
So the planets of the
Newborn galaxy
Eventually gave birth to lifeforms
Composed of matter which began
The long evolutionary
Climb to self-awareness
The birth of the entities
Known as the Star Gods
Occurred at the same time
As the moment of Creation itself
As they formed from the vast
Insensate energies first unleashed
By that churning mass
Of cataclysmic force
In that anarchic interweaving of matter and energy
The sea of stars began to swirl into existence
Long before the first planets had formed and cooled
The very first truly self-aware beings emerged
Their thoughts encased within the lines of force
Produced by the flares of the stars themselves
Beings of pure energy
They paid no mind
To the hunks of solid matter
They passed in the vacuum of space
The blazing geothermal fires
And weak geomagnetic fields
Of these nascent planets insufficient
To be worth feeding even their ravenous hunger

The War In Heaven
05:13
|
|
||
|
The Necrontyr could never win against the Old Ones
They became exiled and forgotten
Their fury was cooled by their long millennia
Of imprisonment on their homeworld
Slowly transforming into an utter hatred
Towards all other forms of intelligent life
And an implacable determination to avenge themselves
Upon their seemingly invincible enemies
When the Silent King saw what had been done
He knew at last the true nature of the C'tan
And of the doom they had wrought in his name
They came to us as gods and we, like fools, took them at their word
Mephet'ran the Deceiver
Aza'gorod the Nightbringer
Iash'uddra the Endless Swarm
I curse their names
...and the names of all their malevolent brethren
With the C'tan and the Necrons fighting as one
The Old Ones were now doomed to defeat
Planets were razed, suns extinguished
And whole star systems devoured by black holes
Necron legions assailed the Old Ones
In every corner of the galaxy
Harvesting the life force of the defenders
To feed their voracious C'tan masters
The price of the victory was a terrible fate:
Transforming into and undying and soulless race
Szarekh, the last Silent King betrayed the C'tan
Imprisoning them in the arcane extradimensional devices
Necrons continued to extinguish life across the galaxy...

The weak will always be led by the strong
Where the strong see purpose and act, the weak follow
Where the strong cry out against fate
The weak bow their heads and succumb
There are many who are weak
And many are their temptations
Pity them not and scorn their cries of innocence
It is better that one hundred innocently dies
Than one kneels before the Daemon
The Daemon has many forms
You must know them all
You must tell the Daemon from his disguise
And root him out from the hidden places
Trust no-one
Trust not even yourself
It is better to die in vain
Than to live an abomination
And in that time the Great Beasts shall walk the earth
Beneath their tread shall cities become as dust
By their burning breath shall civilisations be as ash
So the End of Days is begun

They are the Emperor's left hand
And stand in judgement over all
They are apart from the rest of Mankind
They are arbiter of absolute truth
They command fear
And respect in equal measure
They are creatures of myth
As much of flesh and blood
Their all-seeing eyes
Condemns or absolves with impunity
Steely gaze - starkest terror
Tales of death and destruction
They do care little for morality
And nothing at all for the laws
Fighting in the darkness for centuries
Hunting down any and all of the myriad threats
Tradition is irrelevant
Decades of blameless
Existence count for nothing
Ignorance matters not one whit
One life is meaningless
When set upon the galactic scale
Global survival is the only goal
They are the heroes their times require

Exterminatus Extremis
04:28

|

Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people
Those who understand know that you have no right to let them live
No sacrifice is too great
No treachery too small
There is no place for the weak-willed or hesitant
Only by firm action and resolute faith will mankind survive
No sacrifice is too great
No treachery too small
Orbital Bombardment
Unleashing of full thermonuclear blasts
Release a special bomb
Known as the Life-Eater Virus
Designed to quickly spread and destroy
All organic cellular structures
Cyclonic Torpedoes
Complete destruction of the planetary biosphere
Its atmosphere burned away into the void
And its oceans boiled to vapor
Leaving behind the barren bedrock of a Dead World

The Purge
04:51
|
|
||
|
A warband dedicated to the Chaos God
Nurgle, the Plague Lord
They despise life in all its forms
And have waged pitiless wars
Having seen first hand the dread threat of Chaos
They believe that the civilisations are hopelessly corrupt
And that the only salvation lies
In the sterility of death
They pray nightly to the God of Plagues
For a mighty pandemic that will destroy every sentient being
When The Purge attack a world
Famine, pestilence and death soon follow
Who witness the pestilence and starvation
They have no illusion to their true allegiance
They are infamous for their conduct of genocidal campaigns
And the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons on every and all
All mortal creatures must die
Only then can the galaxy be reborn anew

The Decline of the Enlightened Gods
by FROZEN DAWN
supported by 4 fans who also own “All Mortal Creatures Must Die”
I really cant pick a favorite track, this whole album kicks so much ass with its intensity and ferocity from beginning to end. Definitely a new favorite artist. Really gives off Necrophobic vibes with the melodies and atmosphere.

With hearts toward none

This is, in my opinion, Mgła's ("Migwah's") best work, projecting a loathing of Life so feverish that it becomes palpable.
