Threshold to Oblivion
Altar of Oblivion Lyrics

Means to an end, that's what we are
We are merely a means to an end, with our purpose being to serve a greater goal.

Try to please them, but they don't care
Despite our efforts to please those who have control over us, they show no interest or concern for our well-being.

Punch through the halo of make belief
We must break through the illusion of false beliefs to see the truth and overcome obstacles.

Make or break is the root of it all
Success or failure, victory or defeat, determine the foundation of everything we do.

Under the pretence of humanity
We act as if we are compassionate and understanding, yet our actions and decisions are often driven by selfish motives.

We fight for freedom, sovereignty
In the name of freedom and independence, we engage in battles and conflicts that result in devastating losses and sacrifices.

Heavy casualties, there's no free will
Countless lives are lost in the pursuit of freedom, but in reality, no one truly has free will over their fate and destiny.

Final glory and satisfaction
Despite the heavy tolls and sacrifices, the ultimate reward is the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that comes with victory.

Heavy rain of red tears turns my road into seas of sludge,
The never-ending flow of bloodshed and violence can make even the easiest journey more difficult and treacherous.

We're dancing on a hellish minefield
Every step we take could potentially lead to disaster or harm, and we must navigate through the dangers with utmost caution and vigilance.

Corpses, crawling forwards through the mire
The remnants of those who have already fallen continue to haunt us and affect our every move as we trudge through the mud and filth of war and conflict.

Playing tricks on my desire
We are often led astray by our own desires and inner demons, which can cloud our judgment and lead us down a dangerous path.

And you know that we shall all burst into flames
In the end, our own destruction is inevitable, and we will all suffer the same fate.

Strain on me, on the verge of demise
We are constantly under immense pressure and stress, and it feels like our physical and mental health are on the brink of collapse.

Seraph of triumph has abandoned me
Even with our best efforts and intentions, sometimes victory and success are out of our control and we are left feeling abandoned and defeated.

No peace from strangers, hallmark of death
When outsiders or unfamiliar forces are involved, it is nearly impossible to achieve any semblance of peace or cooperation, which only leads to death and chaos.

Launched assault on my confidence
Our own doubts and insecurities can be just as harmful and debilitating as any external threat or obstacle.

Batter my way into the fortress of lies
We must aggressively challenge and expose the falsehoods and deception that surround us, even if it means facing resistance and danger.

Determination increasing my skill
Through sheer willpower and persistence, we can improve our abilities and become more skilled at overcoming challenges.

Join me on my notorious campaign
We must band together in our fight against oppression and tyranny, even if it means earning a reputation for being rebellious or defiant.

Feel my power grow within the hour
As we gain momentum and support, our own strength and resolve will continue to strengthen and grow, driving us closer to victory.

(Strangers), creating universal grief, for the foe within us all
Even those who are seemingly different or unfamiliar can share our struggles and suffering, as we are all fighting against the same internal demons and shortcomings.

We're grinding to a halt in this hellhole
Despite our efforts to keep moving forward, the harsh realities and challenges we face can bring us to a standstill and make us feel hopeless and trapped.

Yield, to the forces of the Damned
Sometimes it is better to surrender and accept our fate, rather than continuing to fight and suffer in vain against overpowering opposition.

Torches for the High Command
The powerful and influential leaders who control our fate and destiny also symbolize the dark and destructive forces that have led us to this point.

And you know that we shall all burst into flames
Once again, the inevitable destruction that awaits all of us hangs heavily over our heads, no matter how hard we try to escape it or deny its reality.

Come and let me show you the way into my wrecked mind
Through my own struggles and suffering, I can offer a unique perspective and insight into the dark and chaotic recesses of the human psyche.

You will see my ship on the bottom of the restless sea
Evidence of my own personal failures and defeats will be on full display, highlighting the harsh and unforgiving nature of the world we live in.

Bodies tear their way through my mind like in a firestorm
The memories and traumas of violent and destructive events continue to ravage and torment me, leaving me feeling broken and alone.

Fear is rising, hope is fading as the whirlwind breaks loose
The intense emotions and tensions that come with conflict and struggle can quickly spiral out of control, leaving us feeling helpless and lost.
