Powerful grimoire to unlock my form Omnipotent I shall become Decimate opponents with well placed strategy Puppets of mine, eviscerate I have ascended from human form to Demon of demons to rule you all None are worth more than a fraction of my power Gensokyo, prepare to be dominated Denial of my crown forfeits your Vitality, through slow torture Until you bleed crimson rivers Then we'll see if you still rebel I may have been human once before But now I am a god Prostrate your knee before me Weakling slaves, or face early fate manifest Merciless, sadistic, I am now known as Masterpiece of makai cannot be subdued My iron fist shall grip this Eastern Wonderland and corner its denizens With marionettes, this realm will transform Into an Eastern slaughterland High on the mountains and low in the fields This land called Gensokyo must now burn What is this? A dissenter? Clad in blood red and snow white No matter how powerful she is I shall strike her down with ease Maiden of the shrine, you dare wield your gohei Against the strong will of me once again? Be wary, for I may turn the residents of your land To oppose you for the sake of revenge Return Inanimate, inanimate spell Hanged Hourai Dolls, go and fight my war Sacrifice, Suicide Pact Evil Light, Devilry Light Ray Defeated despite my rainbow garb And my newfound power Must I concede before you, novice Priestess to a dying god? Very well, my empire has crumbled Before it began I will not seek vengeance for this Loss, lest I be exterminated

A bastard race proclaiming peace within our territory Zebesians, we must insist upon the pilfering of their Goods that they've mined and lives they value so little K-2L's ours now There must be not a soul to survive from this battle Today, we slaughter them with disregard, like cattle We wish upon the human race to feel the death rattle March forward, space pirates! Attack! Feel the blade that cuts you Down into pieces and Slits your throat, guts you like A fucking pig to die Bleed them out, disassemble them, and shred their brains that they do not use Sodomize, then you vaporize, leave not a trace of the filthy slime Desecrate, eviscerate, and destroy who lie and disseminate Torch and blaze what we cannot use, show the Federation we don't take abuse We've annexed this planet as Our own, deemed it as Useless, so we glassed it All to the core, naught left

What is this divinity A blessing or a curse? Disavowed mortal coil As time erases and erodes Attachments to life Intangible and inconsequential Am I too weak to turn the hands of time? Abandoned I am by the tides of eternity Where is my salvation from this temporal torment Eroded are emotions in enduring life Flames of perdition reject my hollowed soul Millenia will pass ignoring my sins Creation of sin upon sin all in vain Repudiate myself from this mortiferous kind My serenity can only be found In indiscriminate death Disregard for the irrelevance Of relinquished human life Can you see voids in my eyes? Reflecting the thoughts that only blood fills Desolation of my mind Purgatory, the price that I pay Artful Sacrifice Abjuration of vitality Artful Sacrifice Barren existence

The dream of two generations before me Mired down by falling ill But, fear not, my dearest grandfather For evil shan't have the chance to live again Vile red bile spilled by my hands Vengeance for this reality Not enough, I must spread my light further With my sisters, forged not by What runs through our veins But through the pain we bear together With eyes as cold as corpses I peer into the opaque fog Searching for the answers Of how to rid the world of evil gone rampant Through elegance and beauty There's brutality and cruelty No mercy for the wicked For the blood of evil shall be frozen Cursed forever by this passed down hatred With every shadow purged by the light of justice, The ebony of spite consumes me more The noire of my ice emulates my black heart Blinded are these blue eyes as cold as corpses Hypocrisy is invisible to me with eyes as cold as corpses With eyes as cold as corpses I lead my sisters on the path of the shinobi, leaving trails of gore in our wake There is no other solution but to raze the reprobate in this world and all those who stand in our way Just as our grandfather dreamed and fought for long ago, we strive for a more perfect world You're either beside us or against us! Those who stand idly by while the maleficent thrive are just as evil as them! Oh, grandfather, forgive us for our sins! We have failed you, as temptation has overcome us But one cannot be without the other (as we've come to learn) Just as order cannot be without chaos Our murders of the sinners are just that, murders As just as we tried to make them, no murder is right No murder is right! Destroyed illusions of truth, left to define on our own A fork in the road to shinobi, we cast off the chains of abhorrence Denial of fate bestowed upon us, we forge on this path all anew To seek our own truths, define our justice true, and sojourn to the path of the Kagura Through elegance and beauty There's misery and agony No mercy for the wicked For malevolent flesh never rots Cursed no more by this passed down hatred I stand by shadows who show me more than one view Yet, I shall stick to the true path of light The noire of my ice echoes my somber past I look to the future with eyes as cold as corpses With eyes as cold as corpses

Pregnant with the salt of melancholy Until rivers exude towards jigoku when The time of abandonment arrives Whilst being watched by the epitome of chaos Why must I serve a deity so cruel, To have taken you both away from my life? Conscripted into carrying On your duties to a powerless God To cast away the pride of the Hakurei clan Is to reflect the demonic barbarism of this Mountain range so tainted by the sins of man Identity stripped of me before I can forge my own I am the shrine maiden who protects dreams and traditions Who's fantasy of a conventional life has been corroded Bleed for me Oh mother, learning of your demise by battle So bittersweet is the glory you've obtained Oh father, how I yearn for power and for peace Until one day, we shall meet again In Bhava-Agra or Hakugyokurou You shall see that I have done so well To quell the wars waged in Gensokyo And carried on the legacy tied to our name Tied to our name! Corroded Fantasy Corroded Fantasy Corroded Fantasy Corroded Fantasy My rage and sorrow shall extend Into the extermination Of demons and wraiths As I wield this gohei

I've lived too long in this dismal night Luminated by the glow of blossoms' flight Gathering a fell gale most foul Cloaking them in death's black cowl Intricate and elegant is she Noble daughter bleeds regal blood, you see Alabaster skin so heavenly Fairest daughter of the Saigyouji Family My kingdom for a funeral Hardened heart as Ayakashi stands tall The right to life, stripped like a whore What princess am I, so decayed at the core Cessation of this burden, come to me forthwith Retrograde this evil at last, ceasing its Wicked plague of bereavement in my kingdom Cessation of this burden cannot come swift enough I've lived too long in this dismal night My kingdom for a funeral rite Oh, fate, oh death, I beg of thee Rescind this lowly flesh from me Blood will giveth voice to wish, to will Sealed away forever, Ayakashi will be Blossoms wilt and die, reflection of its past life Descend, princess, for now you reign in the netherworld No longer, she lives in a dismal night Luminated her skin by death's pale light The fell gale most foul has lost its might Trading her kingdom away for a funeral rite

I, standing at a funeral, Mourn the loss of my fallen kin Atramentous clouds hang over Symbolizing our grief Fell tempests doth blow Followed by demonic image The casket with my kin Forcibly relinquished from this ceremony A kasha arrives in a feline's form Equipped with a cart to act as the dead's dorm Taken away in a provisional palanquin The most fearful of horrors that I have seen (x2) Fueling the pyres of former hell Another tale of woe your soul will tell Holy retribution for the depths you fell I arrive at the toll of the bell I carry the corpses for My master, and for the Fires that will otherwise Die just like its kindling (x2) A kasha arrives in a feline's form Equipped with a cart to act as the dead's dorm Taken away in a provisional palanquin The most fearful of horrors that I have seen (x2) We grieve two losses, one passing One of body, and one of soul Are we fated never to see him again? Left to wander Gensokyo for eternity Bereft of fulfillment in solitude Truly, a fate worse than what jigoku offers I kneel and bow to pray to Bhava-Agra Spare him of this destiny of emptiness Oh, Kasha, please, spare him this grievance The gods will not answer my pleas I offer my cadaver to your Possession so I may join my kin So I may join my kin!

Migrating to a world where us obsolete gods Can hide from those who spite us and destroy themselves Safe from the scorn, cursing and needless bloodshed Beyond a barrier, there is only the same in medieval form Breaking prostrated knees that kneel before selfish gods Cast down heretical deities from youkai mountains Save these meager souls from the same fate that lies with Those outside these invisible walls that hide us here I ask of you, humans who reside Within this barbaric acreage To put your faith not in these demons But within yourselves and true reason Together, with Suwako, the mishaguji and Sanae I shall advance us all to a higher state of being But this will come to conclude that all the selfish celestials Shall be eliminated if they refuse to join us on our quest This perennial advancement shall mean the absolute desecration of all heretical deities

Artificial organism Invincible predator Your life force is just nourishment Attack so swift, defense is too late Naught but dust (x4) Syphoning your energy Within seconds, dead, you'll be No mere power can set you free From the metroid's grasp, you cannot flee Naught but dust (x4) Imperfect still are these creatures With ice, they will shatter and break But can you freeze them before it's too late? Undeniable bioweapon Naught but dust (x8)

Standing at the Sanzu River, Shinigami lie in wait Aiding wandering, bewildered souls, ferrying to shores of Higan At the culmination of the journey, Yama abides for you Rod of Remorse in her right hand, cleansed crystal mirror in the left So, you partake in earthly pleasures? Judgment Harbinger, I plead for mercy Leading your life in such iniquity This rod of mine is growing heavy I promise I will lead my life correctly Reincarnation is no longer an option for you My mirror reflects your true nature Prostrating before you, the almighty You're unable to lie about your evil No matter how hard you grovel to me Spare me of this judgment, I beseech thee Your fate is decided, and you shall now be sent down to Hell Immoral filth cannot not be spared As they soil the ground of Higan With the weight of your sins behind it You'll be beaten and broken with this rod (x2) Not a single soul has passed through her judgment without castigation The width of the Sanzu is merely foreshadowing your final fate Unclear line between good and evil is made visible by the Yama's skill Unbiased, but her words are cold, No appeals when your destiny's been told So, you partake in earthly pleasures? Judgment Harbinger, I plead for mercy Leading your life in such iniquity This rod of mine is growing heavy I promise I will lead my life correctly Reincarnation is no longer an option for you My mirror reflects your true nature Prostrating before you, the almighty You're unable to lie about your evil No matter how hard you grovel to me Spare me of this judgment, I beseech thee Your fate is decided, and you shall now be sent down to Fires of Enma consume wicked spirits in Hell Or isolation and gray in the Netherworld The lights of the sun or heaven are in obscurity Perhaps you'll ascend with the gods in the next life Ethereal punishment (x4) So, you partake in earthly pleasures? Judgment Harbinger, I plead for mercy Leading your life in such iniquity This rod of mine is growing heavy I promise I will lead my life correctly Reincarnation is no longer an option for you My mirror reflects your true nature Prostrating before you, the almighty You're unable to lie about your evil No matter how hard you grovel to me Spare me of this judgment, I beseech thee Your fate is decided, and you shall now be sent down to Hell

From across the sea I have come to seek asylum But with these others so weak Appears the opportunity to rule Humans and demons alike, behold my ultimate power Witness the scarlet mist that christens the ending of your own free will Blotting out the damned sun, as I curse its name and light No longer shall I be relegated to the obsidian of freezing celestial bodies Scarlet Devil Mansion I am not alone in my efforts Servants bound to me infinitely Shall end the lives that dissent Deathless maid, archaic mage Keeper of the gate shall defend me and my race here Hunter in the night, banisher of light Cower before my might, gaze upon the crimson sky Humans and demons alike, behold my ultimate power Witness the scarlet mist that christens the ending of your own free will Blotting out the damned sun, as I curse its name and light No longer shall I be relegated to the obsidian of freezing celestial bodies Vampirical conquest No gods, not even a god can save you Manifest destiny I have this mountain side in my clawed grasp Impregnable fortress My lakeside manor is described as such Only one threat remains Vassal of a god who is but a myth What a lovely night to have a lunar eclipse But a bloodied sky stains the soil with shadows I must return Gensokyo as it once was On my honor as the Hakurei shrine maiden Attack, my loyal drudges, no survivors! As a part of the duty I uphold, Congeal her blood for my nourishment Abolishment of this annexation If she won't disavow her obligations, What's left of our natural sanctuary Then the pain inflicted upon her will prove unrelenting May wither away and pass on She shan't bring ruin upon my nocturnal haven With its inhabitants included For my will and those who serve it are powerful I mustn't lose against you In the end, whether she forfeits or is subdued My bloodline culminates down to our battle In reverence, she shall speak my name In reverence, she shall speak my name Vampirical conquest If the others fail, I have my gungnir Manifest destiny I have victory within my clawed grasp Impregnable fortress Is no longer a label to be used Only one threat remains Vassal named Hakurei which is to be feared Your strength is no fluke For now you stand before me There is no forgiveness or mercy Once you've incurred my wrath Come forth my blazing halberd to Deliver this priestess to the Shigan shores With the sun blotted from the sky, I am invincible, incapable of defeat

about

The debut album of Illusionary Funeral, written, performed, recorded, mixed and released by Austin "Gutwrencher" Krahl, formerly of Eminent Terror. After musical differences had Gutwrencher leave Eminent Terror, he decided to create music the way he wanted to in the only way he knew how to do so unhindered: on his own. A far departure from the hydrogrind technical deathcore that he came from, this Blackened Melodic Death Metal project is the result of over a year of hard labor.
