“Suit up for battle
o’ Talons take flight
With the black diamond
We’ll bring endless night”
Bring endless night
This moment we’ve waited for
Bring endless night
The final storm delivers the night!
Bring endless night
We’re one with the talons,
Anaxarchus’ Might
Entrusted to destroy
All remnants of light
Fight fire with darkness, extinguish the flame
Seed the end in Absu’s omnipotent name
Our entropic destiny scours the light
We bring the endless night

A quintet against 5 billion foes
And even then it’s never close
From their pathetic pleas to their dying screams
Dust to dust then dust to nothingness (or just nothing)
Absu's Talons devour all the light
Powered by deaths of stars
They hunt life through endless night
Her dragon's claws, her icy breath
Prostrate before her
Postpone your coming death
If this fleet exists it’s no longer known
The stars they guard are no more
The life they gave couldn’t keep them safe
We soar on, devouring
Endless Night
Endless night
Their lives were made for ending,
The talons made their stars as weak.
Away and toward the last light
The final battle is in sight
This star we terminate
The end is drawing nigh
show us the way.
O' Serpent of the Void
They've launched their fighters
To defend themselves they fly
Scramble the Talons
Fly to die. Aces high

Well done
My charge
It’s almost the end of all time
Absu
Delights
In the fragrant cessation of life
A familiar sense of foreboding,
Not felt since before we became
Talons in service to Absu
To Absu- all we give
Onward
You go
A light still plagues our eyes
Erase
Snuff out
This will be the last fight
Anaxarchus’- destruction’s at hand
Anaxarchus’- will is our prime directive
A familiar sense of foreboding,
not felt since before we became
Talons in service to Absu
To Absu- all we gave
Onward
We Go
This will be the last fight

Frozen in their orbits
Ancient battles forgotten
The vultures they descend
Hunting for technology
To outfit their patchwork ships
They shall discover her
In cryo stasis
Shes slept for centuries
The bane of the void
Now she awakens
In her mind is the key
To Anaxarchus destroyed

The Omega Day

Broadcast the code that contains the hook
That worms its way into the minds of the Squadron of the Void
And shows them only truth
And frees them no longer
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
O Voidsbane grant us the gift
Of Enki, Of Marduk, Of Cosmic Mystics out of phase
With the cold
With the darkness, They shall awaken
A sword of lazer cuts blackest night
As squadrons they dive through hail of light they fly
A fighter hit, eject or die
Instead they fly, into the eye
A noble sacrifice
A useful end
Huddled in rusted homes
The fear it overwhelms
No hope
No means to fight
Existence set ablaze
Yet upward they all gaze
Resolved to witness the last daylight

Pay heed the codex
Internalize
the knowledge she provides
Ascend beyond the Talons
To stop a fleet
To turn the tide
Its our time
To know our place
Our one true fate
For Absu no longer
We've now our own minds
But only time
To represent everything
The last resistance that they have
All 5 as one
To combat nothing we combine
Invoking the demiurge to save all life - Low Growl Backup
The fleet now wavers
Without the Talons
Their assault has been dulled
The nothing breaks
The Talons combined
is just
too much
for the night
Between the bodies and debris
This vacuum hides
a small
glim-mer
of
Hope

Go...
By dragon wing
Breathe
a cosmic fire
Slay
The last remnant
Rejoice as the heat death begiiiiiiiiiins
A looming Form
attacks with a fury never felt before
Her icy breath reaches through
Ships begin to die
Those trapped inside
Still alive, have a frontrow to impending doom
The squadron is their last hope
This star is their last home
(His) revenge is truth
Vengeance is cruel
And Tiamet
has come to bathe you in the black
Her mighty claws
Tear through, encompass, the star
With malice, and purpose,
it's smothered and crushed
Mouths gasp in horror
They thought they'd never see the day
Their last star, their last home's
Fire quenched fore'er
Pray to the dragon
Lend her our strength
With combined power
Open the gate (yaaaa)

The Darkness
06:36
|

|
Enveloping freeze
God's failure manifest
Endless night has arrived
In it there's no light at all
Realized fates
All that's left to do is die
There's no escape
There is only the void
In vain
You prayed
That this wouldn't be the end
Darkness
Has come
Anaxarchus' final gift
The voidsbane turned talons and gave light a chance
The prophet Anaxarchus used his diamond
Summoned the dragon to bring his revenge,
Delivered the endless night
The endless night
Lives are fading
There's no hope left
Just the embrace
Of nothingness
Every beating heart ceased
Every story erased
Somewhere in the void
It all starts again oh!
When on high the heaven had not been named,
Firm ground below had not been called by name,
Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter,
(And) Mummu*–Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a single body;
No reed hut had been matted, no marsh land had appeared,
When no gods whatever had been brought into being,
Uncalled by name, their destinies undetermined—
Then it was that the gods were formed within them.

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.

These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip.
