Ylem
Dark Fortress Lyrics

A spell to free all matter
Using magic to liberate all forms of physical existence

Folding time and gravity
Manipulating the fundamental forces of the universe to bend and twist it in new ways

A universe to shatter
Destroying the fabric of existence as we know it

Conjuring black holography
Creating an illusion of darkness and emptiness that consumes everything it touches

Unraveling the ether
Untying the knots that hold together the very fabric of spacetime

Rending screeching molecules
Tearing apart the building blocks of matter that make up everything we see

Severing the elements
Breaking apart the basic components of existence

Ripping core from core
Tearing apart the very essence of everything that exists

Sorcery's caustic breath
The destructive power of magic

Fills the void between the spheres
Expanding the destruction to fill the empty spaces between the stars and planets

The archetypes are gathering
The basic building blocks of the universe are coming together to witness this destruction

At the other end of genesis
At the very beginning of creation, where everything started

Ylem
The primal substance that existed before the universe began

Rise from oblivion
Emerging from the void of non-existence

Initiate the grand corrosion
Starting the process of decay and destruction on a massive scale

Awaken, demant omega
Bring forth the end of the universe, the ultimate and final death

The web constricts around quivering hearts
The all-encompassing destruction consumes everything, even the most profound emotions

Spectres swell
Ghostly figures grow in size and power

From my hands
The magic originates from the caster's hands

I feel my mind vibrating
The caster is overwhelmed by the intense power of the spell

Virulent black odic force
A destructive and unstoppable energy that spreads like a disease

Bleeding into every cell
The power of the magic penetrates every living thing, causing widespread destruction

Ripe with mortality
The universe is on the brink of death and destruction

A breathless world is shaking
The universe is quivering with the power of the coming destruction

A cosmic avalanche is waking
A massive and unstoppable force of destruction is awakening

All shall die
The end of everything is near, and everything will be destroyed

The atoms shall remember
Even in death and destruction, the building blocks of existence will never forget what has happened

Scourge the moribund
Cleaning out everything that is old and dying

Consume me, primordial fire
Being consumed by the ancient and all-consuming flames of destruction

Engulf me
Being surrounded and taken over by the destructive force

Illuminate my flesh
Letting the power of the destruction shine through the physical form

With sacred necrosis
The holy power of death and decay

I summon thee
Calling upon the ancient and terrible power of Ylem

From primeval chaos soar
Emerging from the darkness that existed before the universe began

Devour this misguided spacetime
Consuming the very space and time that hold everything together

From the earth
Rising from the ground itself

From the heavens
Descending from the sky and beyond

From the emptiness rise
Coming forth from the nothingness that surrounds everything

From the pores of trembling skin
Emerging from deep within every living thing

From the depths of every soul come forth
Drawing forth the power that exists within every being

From the darkness at the heart of everything
Rising from the very essence of existence - the darkness that exists at the core of all things

Unraveling the maelstrom
Breaking apart and destroying the swirling chaos that makes up the universe

Bending screaming galaxies
Twisting and pulling apart entire galaxies in the grip of destruction

Severing the constellations
Breaking apart the star formations that make up the patterns of the universe

Tearing matters shell
Destroying the physical world, and bringing everything back to the void
