David Fischer Great album. One of the first (and still of the best) symphonic deathcore albums I've ever heard. Features are great, music hits like a truck. Vocals and instrumentation are fucking turbo, especially considering that this is a 1-man project. Favorite track: Bereft of Life.

kadarin187 That these things have to always come together. Dark Souls is an incredible game, "Before the Decay of Time" is an incredible album themed around Dark Souls. Favorite track: Countdown to Extinction.

Darksylum I have followed until we die for about 2 years now. I picked up the demo and the first EP and I was hooked. I was more than glad to buy this full release album. for a 1 man show this is simply amazing. you have reached Abigail Williams status when it comes to being a 1 man band. I love the melodic undertone of this album. it brings out the death core and black metal sides of me. \m/ Favorite track: Countdown to Extinction.

Is this the same world that it used to be? There is hope for us I know the darkness is consuming me, but the light is stronger I know the light is stronger The strangers said they could save us all, but in the end we were meant to fall As we hit the ground we were lost inside of the darkness and I knew it when hope was promised to the weak, but it was not received Those people now just speak about how the light turns into darkness Did I lose everything I had? What's happening to me? I'm beginning to feel betrayed and after all the things I've seen I know that it won't change I'm struggling to keep the light inside so I run through the gates I'm moving forward The darkness follows right behind Once a man, now a god or a demon Everyone I knew has become a traitor so is it right if I leave tonight to become the monster hidden inside of me? Try to find my body - it's lost inside this hell I am just another soul that lost its shell I won't be the victim I cannot promise that I'll win this fight for the lost and the broken because I don't know who I am anymore Oh for heaven's sake why have I become numb to all this pain? I'm asking myself why do I still believe that we can be saved A tragedy unfolds and darkness awaits..

I've been away for a long time Trapped in another world A place so cold where no sun could ever burn They say the light will fade away They say the sun won't shine again I will rise up to save the sun I will fight while the angels sing In the prophecies the darkness can't win While humanity is bathing in sin Trapped inside this world I realize that I'm alone There's no one alive that still has a soul Before the decay of time I will be victorious I feel the black mist consuming my soul I will rise up to save the sun I will fight while the angels sing In the prophecies the darkness can't win While humanity is bathing in sin I will climb up to save the sun I will fight while the angels sing In the prophecies the darkness might win While humanity's bathing in sin Falling away from grace My saddened heart won't beat again I see my destiny crumbling right in front of my eyes Before the sunset Before the darkness has finally won Before the chains unleash the beast inside of me I will triumph And the demons are taking my soul away so I'm dragging down the sun x 2 I will rise up to save the sun I will fight while the angels sing In the prophecies the darkness can't win While humanity is bathing in sin I will climb up to save the sun I will fight while the angels sing In the prophecies the darkness will win While humanity's bathing in sin

Enter the kingdom of the undead lords Too many lives are lost Below the demons laugh In hell is where they wait for me Forever I'll be caught inside this burning world The end is inescapable my friend Let's find a place where we can rest our souls forever now My last words I have written in the ashes of our families This was my only destiny Soon we will all be burning in the shadow of our fates Darling forgive me I never wanted to give in, but now I have no other choice than sacrificing myself for them I know that I have said I will return, but how am I supposed to walk with broken legs? My bitter end is near I was so wrong fucking come back to me again I was so wrong fucking come back to me Now I walk this burning pathway all by myself with no one by my side Now everything is crumbling I live on eternally my only destiny Nobody here to hear me now Alone I am, I won't be found This nightmare will never be over Darkness come and take my soul away I have lost everything I held close Say goodbye to the things that were with you I am left alone in this world "This might be the last time that I'm going to be with you" - these were her words before the plague came over this land If I had known that she was right this time I could have saved her from the darkness..

Worthless Defeater, a holy soldier chosen by the demon king Another forsaken victim crushed inside of my own fist This world will be my new home and I will capture it tonight My fellow companion follows as we march into the fight Destroyer, unholy soldier chosen by the king Obliterated they lie before me as I tear their skin apart They're screaming, but I won't stop until the bastards shut their mouths Forever I will obey him 'til my flesh turns into dust No forgiveness, no mercy and no regret is shown by them Dan Watson: I descend upon the world, overcasting destruction I am the king of decay You are the worthless prey You all will be devoured Niko: Try to get up but you can't make a move Your body's shaking as I stand before you This world will be mine For all the pain this planet had to suffer from - the human race will be erased by the conquerors Forget your name, forget your friends, forget your family because you will be reduced to mere ashes We will conquer this world Mark my words Humanity will fall This is your destiny x 2 Unholy one Let darkness come I have defeated the mortals on earth The Conquerors of thy earth Dan Watson: Clasped inside my hands I drain the blood from your bloated corpse I twist your flesh I grind your bones, then toss it with the rest My throne of putridity is reborn x 2 I inherit the wasteland An ocean of blood, your flesh as the sand Your skulls are crowned upon my head

You will see black skies They shall fear my name I'm lurking in the shadows of the fallen souls that are caught in this world "We were never meant to be" - your voices won't be heard Go ahead and tell me that you want to live a normal life inside your broken world when everybody wants to die just like me and I remember the truth I try to forget but I'm caught in the memories of my distorted past This life is fucking useless Inside a world in a giant unknown universe You live and work, then die These are the last moments before the decay of time Filthy worthless human life You will obey the ones that will conquer this world Is there anything that you're supposed to do in this world? There's gotta be a reason why you're here Or is everything just a big test? I know that you won't like the answer I know things that you wouldn't even dare to think about All the hatred is flowing through my veins Remembering the day that I was born The darkness was surrounding everything in this world Now you've seen black skies and they fear my name No longer hiding in the darkness It is time to decide whether to live or to die I will not spare a soul, no matter what they say You're nothing but a failure in my eyes You'll fade away before the decay of time

The beauty of this planet will fade away I am slowly losing my vision day by day I have to find a way to cure my blinding eyes, but without the help of sunlight I won't be healed He should have saved the sun Guillaume Villeneuve: The light is fading away Distortion, mental decay Forsaken on an endless pathway Vision blurry but I have to resist the thought of killing myself Niko: The beauty of this planet will fade away I'm slowly losing my vision day by day Forget that I have said that I will be the one to save us all The distorting of perception will be the end As I try to find myself I realize that it's too late again Oh, he should have saved the sun but there was no other option than dragging it down Now everything is crumbling We're lost inside this hell Like many others before us we will meet our end here The shadows are surrounding us Everyone fades away Distorting of Perception taking our light away

Still sleeping I feel the rising of my pulse Tonight I'll find a way to end it all Still breathing Collecting thoughts inside my head I don't know what the fuck is going on I always act like I'm okay, but now I cannot wait to find a way outside I thought I'd live another day Forever I'll be caught inside this painful lie As nights go by so divine I realize that I'll be plagued by my own demons (I am caught by my own demons) Forever living a lie I'm not free Endless suffering I feel the pain because I cannot close my eyes Tonight I'll watch myself die again I know that I am just spiraling away from reality Drowning in the sorrow of the shadows of the night There is no cure for me I'll watch myself waste away A broken entity I'm just a memory that's why there is no cure for me and I'm trying to forget the fact that everybody wants to watch me burn Amongst this mess I was a normal person just like everybody else, but I've changed for the worse I have changed for the worse I'll never be the same man again I have lost the fight Another day, another night, another week, another fucking life There is no cure for me I'll watch myself waste away A broken entity I'm just a memory that's why there is no cure for me and I'm trying to forget the fact that everybody wants to watch me burn Amongst this mess I was a normal person just like everybody else, but I've changed for the worse Still sleeping I feel the rising of my pulse Tonight I'll find a way to end it all Still breathing Collecting thoughts inside my head I don't know what the fuck is going on I always act like I'm okay, but now I cannot wait to find a way outside I thought I'd live another day Forever I'll be caught inside this painful lie

It was a declaration of war Their only goal was to rule the world Even Armageddon would have been another failure for the holy one above in the eyes of the king and humanity has failed to prove their right to live Telling everybody that they'll fail to exist Disobey and disrespect Everyone feels like a king in this world, but I will prove them wrong The time has come to show them the real power of evil My life has begun and so has yours The enemies collapse under my mighty sword Forsake the Fallen Forsake the Fallen Death is your destiny You will not be remembered My wrath will be your end Forsake the fallen Stepping over bones inside of ashes were the cities burned The people who survived are being tracked down to be eliminated Every single person has to die, unless they're worthy for a new era of the king All the other men shall kneel before me as I rule over them all I am a king I am a god I will not stop I will not fall, so take your weapons and destroy the ones who show their fear of death because they are just a waste of space Every single coward will be forsaken here Their families, their friends will fall in front of me Damnation is upon us This time I know for sure that I will be the one to cleanse this world x 2

What's the point of living for creatures that destroy everything they see on their own planet? When will they stop being such fools in the midst of their own tragedy? They cannot be saved There is only one solution for this problem: the eradication of every life form begins The crows start whispering to the dead: "the king is coming back and everything will end." As I feel the precious souls of once wise men in my hands I risk a glimpse into the abyss from where i ascended and I know that this is the right way to end this fucking lie I finally found a reason to destroy human life Falling through the cracks of every soul I remember that I have to return into my hole This place My life A lie Inside I cry Tonight I'll fall into my grave I will kill everyone who comes across My mission has begun I will give my best to collect their souls Tonight I will take your live away Decide who shall be the next to die

Forsaken Forgotten I was left alone on purpose The hourglass holds my soul locked inside forever Into the deepest shades of black I transform The overwhelming feelings - all long gone until I finally become the one everyone has feared for so long Arise my fellow friend Let me hold your hand I will show you the key to immortality Arise! Rok+Niko: Hear me (hear me) Fear me (fear me) Deep inside I know that I have lost control so now hear me (hear me) Fear me (fear me) I am the one who was left alone Am I really supposed to believe that this darkness is a sign to show the relief of my madness? This silence will be my deathbed x 2 Silence in solitude x 2 Rok Rupnik: Destruction of all life Is the only solution The only way to bring balance to our human race Now kill them all Kill them all Arise my fellow friend Let me hold your hand I will show you the key to immortality Arise! Rok+Niko: Hear me (hear me) Fear me (fear me) Deep inside I know that I have lost control so now hear me (hear me) Fear me (fear me) I am the one who was left alone

This world is mine for the taking I can finally be free again All the pain and suffering I've caused now pay off for the first time I know the reasons why this world was so fucked up All this time they we're just caring for themselves All the things you've ever loved are burning in my paradise Before the darkness finally devours everything i will make sure that everybody who survived will be destroyed by my own hands I will triumph inside this lost and broken world I'm looking for a place where I can finally get some rest Now that I have destroyed them all I know that I will be okay This world is mine for the taking I can finally be free again All the pain and suffering I've caused now pay off for the first time I know the reasons why this world was so fucked up All this time they we're just caring for themselves Failure Humanity is nothing but a failure I knew it all along x 2

The cries of the living ones surrounding me are the only thing that I can hear They live their lives in fear When my chaos will unfold there will be nothing left of this bastard race that calls itself humanity Fall Fall to the ground You can't escape my wrath ´cause it's already too late You'll never see my true face again What is happening to me? This is not what you were expecting, but I was never free There is a demon inside of me My life is over, but so is yours Darkness surrounds the things we loved and now the ending is upon us all Try to fight the hordes of chaos You'll fail and everyone you loved will dance on your grave My servants rip the bodies open to make sure that no one will survive When the time has come and the world is freed from life, the sound of my cheering slaves will let the world shake Spread the fear my subordinates Let them know that we'll kill them all Water is rising Dead bodies float across the lands Stop screaming There's no escape
