Lyrics:

SOLILOQUIES OF THE WAR MACHINE

Emerging from skeletal canopies
Mask lit embers peering through the carves
Rusted fingers begin to purge
Through the silhouettes of ether
Crafting an end to the elements
Sawing the branches to dust
Speaking a beginning to empires
Grasping upwards their geometry
Encompassing a snarl of tapestries
Here is a machine that toils its rapture

Mounting its abrasions on the corpse of humanity
Iron sided tears feed its mask of skeletal masterpieces

It rips to pieces all it touches
And so it feeds on all that spills
It is the force of all that plunders
A heaving city forged of steel

Wreaking its havoc upon the burial ground
That soaks away the fumes of life

The machine grinds away
Destroying as a means to an end
Ripping away light that snaps apart like bright ligaments
Once attached to the body of reason

This is a city thats feeds upon
The sunrise leaking clawline to the
Forest grasping at its tracts
To suckle its bile flacking auras
It hungers in darkness for those who lapse into its frenzy
Draining horizons of catching spectacle
And shoving them full of its choking exhale

Curses that claw at the cradles of nurture
Camouflaged to pierce the armor of nature
As the chains of disgust hang from its iron viscera
Hemorrhaging eyes rolling back words in orgiastic havoc
It welled tears of acid rain and Malevolex lurched to comfort
As it spoke from sewer grated eyelids casting at its yellowed pupils
In the way of a quest existential

The machine grinds away
Destroying as a means to an end
Ripping away light that snaps apart like bright ligaments
Once attached to the body of reason

The slave to all war and consequence rolled its tongue beneath the sun
It slid bolt carved teeth into conversation
"We are all chained from underneath those within the shadowsphere,
They will drag us through gilded flames of greed and fear"
"Your flesh reads this tragedy and you wear it like the walls they build
Break them down, and through destruction brings creation's will"

This is either the wrong song, or iTunes has it mixed up!! In iTunes this song is called Blade Grasp Priesthood!

[linedude]

in my opinion even better. the last song on metamorphignition, Opus Brahmanic is in my opinion one of the most technical songs of this year (drum wise).

[CHNOfya]

Damn this shit is sick! Production on it is clean as fuck too.

I still got two Arkaik high school demos from 2005. Quite an amazing progression you dudes have gone through in just 7 years. Keep up the good work!

[crucifuck]

They are definitely heavy on the Suffocation, not to diminish how awesome they sound though. This entire album is awesome in its own right.

[Aeternusx]

Absolutely sick, can't wait for October to roll around.

[CorpseCook]

[jonathanbenaroche]

[ezzy]

"Once attached to the body of reason" sheesh, that's deep

[TyrannyEnthroned]

I like the feel of this track. A bit less tech and focusing more on pure brutality. Great Job guys!!! Love the diversity in the music!!

[FeedTheTeethMachine]

That giant creature looks like something an artist would draw on a MTG card. Unrelated, but gnarly.

[bobvanka]

Now just imagine....Just imagine if Necrophagist released their album in October! How does that sound my friend?

[linedude]

fucking masterpiece it is. just got it in the mail today and went and listened to it. OH MY FUCK, this is some of the best technical death metal ive heard in a long ass time. something i love about arkaik is that you can hear how influenced they are by deeds of flesh. definitely in my top 10 releases for 2012. my favorite tracks are Sirens In Electric Veils part 1-2, The Omnipus and Opus Brahmanic. buy this fucking album now if you havent already

[vulgarscreams]

Cheers! that is some fucking brutal artwork! the music is sick!
