Ice Queen 05:16
- Ice Queen - Malum (evil), Oritur (arises) Ex somno pleni (from slumber) A void erupts, from endless solitude A plume of dust, escapes from the rotted tomb The withered corpse, beginning to come alive The gathered crowd, offering a sacrifice Contorted limbs emerging through the haze As blood rushes to its dried up veins A ritual of the obscene Resurrecting the Ice Queen Forgotten ghost in the machine The Resurrected Ice Queen (Solo) Chanting reverberates through the air A morbid vision brought forth from despair Invocation of most dire need Unfold the prophecy and sow the seed The mother of all evil The immortal deceiver Shimmering in the snowfall This wretched shape morphs to an elegant form Seeming to suck the life that surrounds it Born out of darkness it becomes the light Unraveling, this destiny The first step is undoing the past Shattering, infinity Unweaving the folds of time and space Necrotic lust, born from this opened wound Out of disgust, comes the path we must subdue A ritual of the obscene Resurrecting the Ice Queen Forgotten ghost in the machine The Resurrected Ice Queen

- Sands of the Hourglass - From this dream I cannot wake My own thoughts are seeming fake Disillusion is sinking in, alien to my own skin What is the purpose of this goal Another end I can't control Drifting closer to insanity A perfect future I will never see Maybe I die, or at least I try Come what may, sweep me away Take me once more into the fray Pain is all that's left to feel Any solace just seems unreal Fading away I will not last Just like the sands of the hourglass The empty black is swallowing Even numb I feel the sting The bitter truth that fate will bring This endless void of suffering It took resolve to make it through From years of pain I only grew Shedding off this grip of death Taking hold of what was left But now the dirt beneath my feet It blows away like a falling leaf A suttle sign of the coming end One final breath to comprehend Deep within the mirror's lie The rotting soul that dwells inside (dwells inside) A life that means just killing time I waste away as I wait to die As I wait to die... I wait to die The final price (I am) I am out of time (Solo) We stand at the end of it all Face to face with our downfall Who can say if we deserve it or not Either way, is this the karma we wrought? Was it all for naught? (all for naught) After how hard we fought?

- The Devouring Sun - Recite the sacred incantations Invoke this wicked culmination Divine is she, the prophecy Foretelling what would be Recite the mystic conjuration Invoke this wretched vindication Divine is she, monstrosity Enacting what will be The power of the orb, time and space distorts The weapon of the end, apocalypse begins FUsing cosmic alchemy, with volatility Cry out to the skies, it is time to die Embrace the oncoming fright (oncoming fright) The enveloping blinding light A prison of fate born from purest hate Overbearing weight to retaliate Karma comes to collect the price No illusions left of paradise Suicidal in this final fight Armageddon comes with the light (Solo) Solar flares enter the atmosphere In an instant the flames appear A coronal mass ejection Spiritual disconnection Crumbling this fragile existence Swallowing it in an instant The horizon is set on fire No second chance, all life expires All life expires!!! All life expires!!!
4.
- Reflections in a Dirty Mirror - Solitude, the cold grip of doom Beautiful decomposition We are born to disappear Evolution gone in an instant Our demise growing ever nearer Sentiment turns into anger Liberating us from fear Contemplate as I stare at my Reflection in a dirty mirror (Solo) Dust now covers our reality A thick layer shrouding everything Poisoning the very air we breathe We suffer or die Forever severed from the life that we knew A dismal end, we must come to Diabolic premonition Crippling the atmosphere The solution non existent Our demise growing ever nearer Imminent oncoming danger Devastating so severe Contemplate as I stare at my Reflection in a dirty mirror Solitude, the cold grip of doom As the dark it consumes Clawing at the mortal flesh Offering one last caress Death embrace us in the end A sacrifice to live again Bathe me in this agony Caressing hands of misery Seal it with a poison kiss A welcoming to the abyss Blackness fills my eyes Parasitic void of life The place where all hope dies Apocalyptic genocide Genocide!!!
5.
- Moonlight and Frostbite - December winds bring the arctic snow A sea of white burying life below Visions haunting of a trauma passed My reflection blurs as the mirror cracks The cryptic, parasitic, sadistic Voices in my head are endless Horrific, persistent, and twisted Thoughts of death become relentless Severing the human soul, the phantoms now take control Facilitating genocide, hiding in the moonlight Conjuring archaic scrolls, the prophecies now unfold A frothing mouth full of lies, a deadly kiss of frostbite From the all consuming fear, a silhouette appears Under the cloak of moonlit night Penetrating blackened eyes Oh the Blackened eyes, urging me to die (Solo) The cryptic, parasitic, sadistic Voices in my head are endless Horrific, persistent, and twisted Thoughts of death become relentless Severing the human soul, the phantoms now take control Facilitating genocide, hiding in the moonlight Conjuring archaic scrolls, the prophecies now unfold A frothing mouth full of lies, a deadly kiss of frostbite Frostbite!!! Deadly kiss of frostbite!!! Frostbite!!!

- Plague Bringers - Black grins, therein, underneath transparent skin Whirlwinds, of sin, this hell they are drowning in Wicked, abyss, the layer where the viper spits Rancid, and sick, a rotten smelling stench of shit Once it, begins, a plan so malevolent Torment, intent, embodiment of discontent The pests, infest, prodding at the hornets nest One breath, 'til death, left caressing the decaying flesh Unveiling the ravenous horde From hell they are reborn Demented, voracious swarm In the moonlight they transform The portal opens wide There won't be anywhere left to hide The culling must begin Phantoms cloaked in human skin A horrific resonance Narcissistic arrogance A lust for bathing in their blood The fragile mask has come undone Emerging from the depths therein Slimey figures bathed in sin Crooked lips reveal the smile Moonlight welcoming their arrival (Solo) Mesmerizing, fantasizing The lust for death it grows The need is multiplying Terrifying, paralyzing But the past is seeds now sown No fear is left of dying It's not over, it's never over Not until our fate is done Or the planet's overrun It's not over, it's never over Not until we overcome Destiny can't be undone
7.
- An Oath Of Scrying Souls - The vortex emits, an endless abyss Another void swallowing our will to exist Another failure persists How did it ever come down to this The karmic consequence Left seething in a bottomless pit This sarcophagus adrift A floating tomb with our hope in it Dark black eyes hold the sorrow inside Emotion not in their DNA Welcoming this doomsday (doomsday) Pitch black night now consuming their life These are the seeds they have sown Into the unknown Carving out names on their tombstones The future is untold Sometimes you can't control What the fates behold An oath of scrying souls The lacerated will subsides into dust Withered faith rotting to rust (Solo) The future is untold Sometimes you can't control What the fates behold An oath of scrying souls Reaching out from the threshold Breaking through the mold Take back the life they stole Become the scrying souls
8.
- Astral Realms - Thunder echoes, carrying across the snow Black clouds are moving in, swallowing everything within A light appears, so near, summoning your darkest fears The winds now begin to moan, their sullen song in monotone Hooded figures manifest, shape shifted duplicates From within it's haunting skin, swirling voids that beckon in A glowing orb within its hand, the instrument of the final plan The visage of her wretchedness, a portal to undying bliss The queen of death must rise, abomination in disguise A path to the astral realm, the void of eternal hell Seeing through her eyes, seeing our own demise (Solo) This haunted vision remains Burrowing deeper in your puny brains Cut the chord, sever the life it feeds Remnants of a human catastrophe It all was there for the eyes to see It became a lust for mortal need From the deepest pits of carnal sin Through the severed flesh as the blade cuts in The grip of death as you start to choke The flowing blood drained away the hope Parasitic eyes, suck away your life Stripped away, I'm begging to stay But the colors are fading to grey Deep within the tortures eating my mind A nightmare that I can't leave behind Even in death I see her there Her wicked eyes and that haunting stare She pulls me into her astral realm An endless void or an eternal hell
9.
Skinwalker 05:15
- Skinwalker - The downfall is oncoming Our souls are not worth saving The rotten stench of evolution A culling of all that is human (Solo) I am the skinwalker Prophetic voice of vile slaughter Wretched in these final deeds Savage are the sowing seeds I am the skinwalker Betraying thoughts, the mind stalker A shadow in your tortured dreams Urging forth this tragedy Burning deep inside your mind Unending thoughts of suicide It's vile grip so threatening The poison seeps through everything Grasping for the sharpened blade A puppet lead in this masquerade Beneath the fog and glassy eyes The waves of torture multiply A boiling point of mental stress The knife begins to cut the flesh What is to be, was always there to see What is to be, oncoming catastrophe Blood drips down it's freezing skin Slowly, methodically, draining its will to be Blue lips shiver in the snow The last goodbye, and now it dies And now it dies!!!
10.
- Of Death and Decay - Fear not as we take this final path The fallen angel unveils her wrath A spirit born from pure suffering The inner soul is dead and withering Upon the emptiness in her eyes A darkness deep and intertwined She spent a thousand years mummified But now her withered corpse is revived Bringing hateful desire, pouring gas on the fire Breaking bonds that suffocate Erase the past of death and decay Of death and decay Of eternal pain Timore est (terror comes) Reticentur (disguised) Homines in carne (in human flesh) Take hold on this wretched night Apocalypse within our sight Bloodless corpses all around Their bodies frozen on the ground (on the ground) Their shallow screams, take hold of me Just like a lucid dream, bathed in agony All encompassing, abomination obscene This frozen queen, her unholy majesty
11.
- Tomorrow's Lie - Gaze into the eyes of oblivion Suffering a fate so insidious And on this day we vowed to end it all We gave our lives as the cost Our end is finally here We want to disappear All we've ever known is dead and gone (dead and gone) Our last words echoing This mortal tragedy All we've ever wanted was to die (was to die) If we're going down, you're coming with us Everyone will wither to dust The sky glowing bright, the burning sunlight Tomorrow is a lie, we won't survive If we're going down, you're coming with us Everyone will wither to dust The sky glowing bright, the burning sunlight Tomorrow is a lie, we won't survive Bitter is the truth that we must face The gripping hands of death's embrace Unable to shift the turning tides No way to prevent our demise Gaze into the eyes of the abyss The void where reality won't exist And on this day we vowed to end it all We gave our lives as the cost Our end is finally here We want to disappear All we've ever known is dead and gone (dead and gone) Our last words echoing This mortal tragedy All we've ever wanted was to die (was to die) Fuck this earth, it never deserved Just a pile of dirt, and endless hurt It needs to burn, they will never learn It can no longer be of any concern We will never return!!! We will never return!!!

about

Plague Bringers is Bryan's 8th full length release, and is a part 2 to the concept album "Winters Plague (The Final Eclipse)" released in 2018. As that original album detailed an alien invasion of earth by blocking out the sun with a giant ship and freezing the planet, in which humanity inevitably arises to defeat the aliens. This part 2 album details the aftermath in the aliens perspective as they resurrect their long dead queen, clone an army, and escape their dying planet to enter earth once more. Using the power of a magic orb they open a portal through space, then hide in the darkness, manipulating humans minds to force mass suicides in their attempt at revenge. The mission however is in itself a suicide mission without their ship anymore to block out the sun (which is their weakness), they know they will perish along with the humans, leaving earth as a mass grave of emptiness... "Tomorrow is a lie, we won't survive" but revenge is sweet.
