    The Devourer of All, originally was the idea of having one song taken from every release recorded as one album. It was the live show setlist with a new song which is a hidden track.
    This hidden track has a recording of a preacher that can be heard throughout, due from a freak chance of radio interference when Darren was recording the vocals.. This has become a real part of the songs dynamics, which almost narrates itself with the preachers words.

    The only version of this album remains this Promotional version of 'The Devourer of All', pressed CD and inlay in a plastic sleeve. Includes lyrics.

War 06:33
War Evocations of the blind hollow out the space, emptiness stirs to vent the deathly forms that wake, when the light is dim, creatures in will take its place, summers fertile dream succumb to winters stillborn fate. No recollection of being alive, I hang my head at rest, so that you may now possess. With death unmasked, with freedom at last to burden these cursed lands, uniting ancient pathways deep inside the Necromanteion. Reaching into the night, black plague of war unfurled, there are ghosts in the mist from the old world. Apparitions exhale the cold, darkest dreams indulged... for damnation 'rules the light'. Devils bestowed forever caged below, release the essence of your state, overwhelm them to the grave. To thee all who await the dawn... Swallowed by the darkness, she has gone. The throes of death, the last caress, and those who met still sway in wails of song. All life is enslaved Time enshadows truth, in the burning glare of destiny, afraid of death, afraid of life, afraid of what's between. What god will shine a path for you... When the flesh decays, eager to display its masterpiece of ruin. Movements of black, course around the spires, new horizons underline the stars. A twilight tempest broods from the past. The monolithic crown of thorns, Hot needles forced into the eyes, self-righteous delusions of grandeur, a graveyard for the architects of lies. Scaling the walls, chaos enters grim, resurrections from the pit festering within. Etched into the flesh, the wretched pouring in, the open mass grave yawns disfigured to the brim. Weak and cursed, perverse, pulled under. All paths cross - All life lost Death unmasks, awoken at last, the maelstrom seething so vast, unfathomable ancient forces, breach the Necromanteion. Lurching into the sight, manifestations bright, ghosts in the mist from the old world. Apparitions exhale the cold, darkest dreams indulged, For damnation 'rules the light'.

Alone by the Black Lake Alone by the black lake, still and calm elixir of fates. One thousand thrine weighs down upon the shining. The final conjunction… to see no eyes are left, obsidian cursing endless depths. Alive but dead I watch and wait, alive the light awakes lost threads… Of spells, of dreams, of fire, of reborn hatred. Ageless memories are raging, The doomsday of all creation. Shards of dark light touch like poison, shards of dark light pour deep through my mind. As worlds collapse I dissolve into the power, a secret path, to view disaster, beside the voids of war. I can see the doors to one thousand rooms of hell, alone in the gardens of grief, …Alive am I! In this new world, new dawn of time, in this new world, I live again.

Beautiful Ashes Is this a trick, is this deceit? Into your eyes, into the river so cold and deep. Through the veils of your spirit old, I see... the face that haunts, the poisoned ocean all around me. So wicked, so free, in life, in Death, in your world of ebony. Lost am I – but so alive forever more, I now see my own magnificent ending. Enlightenment held, the graven eve, your presence leaves my eyes wide open. Come for me, a spectre through the trees, aghast the forest heaves. All magic's invested now confess, this is not a time of blindness. If I could hear your voice one more time, I would kill that creature twisting writhing, that left you dying, I would hunt it down and cut it open, 'til my hands are scarlet glowing "stop it growing". 'Til the wind sets free your beautiful ashes. I can see your face so clear, I can feel you watching from the darkness. It's far too late to live again with this obsession. (In the blink of an eye) It has only just begun…

Night Awaits 07:06
Night Awaits There is a quiet place within all this distortion, muted cries as this lullaby slows the execution. Clambering towards the time to die, true absolution, beside reality's broken shell, its hauntings foul are beyond all illusion. “Thus I remain, just another day, I brace myself, break the spells, evoke the change. Tortured deranged, longing for the embrace”. Emptiness caressed exhumed possessed, a beating heart trapped inside a tomb. And as I laugh, with the last beats of my heart, the full moon wanes and the terror of night awaits you.

The Witching Hour Beckoning thunderstorms, cloud the light of the last day dawning. Chanting, escaping flames enslave, and she has risen, Damnation roaring. Temptress luring as the dancing inferno, beneath the moon's incandescent drapes. Yearning for the secrets, the forest at nightfall. And in turn consume as one. I take her hand, and reap mortality, binding the whispers to channel sorcery. And congeal the pace, of preying timely sands, dancing with the shadows, in celestial command. Command Mystical eve, and she of raven craft, majestic in your prowess and scarlet aftermath. Your enticing melodies, have wandered into my dreams, evoking my spirit, now I am joined with thee. Baying wolves, nocturnal savagery, blazing emerald eyes, one thousand silent wings. These are the secrets, all seasons I have searched. The will to be - You are in my blood Within enslavement to the flesh, I venture – escaping mortal death. Into eternal darkness seeking, to inspire – to animate eternal rest. I shall take as mine, wallowing, drenched in all I find. The malevolent tearing that greets, shall wed you to your sleep. To strip you of all pride, as first born and innocence blind. From creator to creation, and the loss that bleeds for all time. The sickening overtures, the infernal pulse that spills so faint. Roses at the altar, and your fallacy of a 'god', slaughtered for the rape.

Through Ominous Gates Everything is now, ordained in black. Dark creatures lurch at me, between the echoes of sound. Unforeseen something reaching staring back, outlined by light, from the dark lands of Hades. Through ominous gates, that keep the open spaces. Each step as fast as the last I trade, until I reach the end of breath. Tormented by the ones, who gouge out the life and lead thee back. To encircling wolves awaiting, kaleidoscopic madness racing, awaking. Earth torn hands but no man stares back. In the myriad of hell born dreams, abandoned womb of black. Decaying deeper, elusive close encounters. Forgotten paths the cursed take, ill fated stars, the omens, they call my fate. When this world, this life, ends tomorrow, thrust upon the sword, the throne. Enslaved so pure, deluded? Will I see much more, than this destitution… in the rebirth. From chaos seeds were sown, fractured, nurtured and still they grow. To own the air, the light, the water, the earth below. Resistance futile I felt my blood slowing, as I sat and watched the crimson ocean flow. Beautiful patterns, existence slips away through fields of grey, toward the light of the old world, The landscape vast, bleak and dead, across haunted planes, now the same as I, the Darkness awaiting.
