Citadel 06:15
CITADEL Resigned to walk, condemned to never sleep No one spared, all of you I reap I lead mankind beyond the desolate sight Away from Eden, garden of my plight I kill to quench my endless thirst - to bleed the fucking lot of you. Disease and pestilence I bring! In the name of hell and tyranny. Shall I entrance you now and conjure visions of forgotten lace, In your weakest moment of delusion shred you with my naked Hands, or would you rather that I gouge your eyes and tear Your face, condemn you to the desert to drown in fucking sand! One look out of my dead eyes and hollow soul will decimate the lands. Scarred and torn, my face an image of my wrath. And the last sight you'll see upon this god forsaken world, Is the abyss I've granted thee… In spite of all the dreams you hoped would come to pass. No one comes to save you. Tearing out the seams, annihilating man, Desecrating, butchering, killing field horizons. Citadel of pain brings bitter holocaust, Mushroom clouds of burning flesh. Apocalyptic sun is rising once again, Ending love and ending hate, seething darkness I create. Leading man beyond the desolate sight To hell and chaos, into fucking night

Solution 04:39
SOLUTION Poverty stricken, people are dying, Not of starvation, but (of) plagues running free. Strains of diseases bloom out of nothing and Take little children in painful release. Death rate and birth rate pulsing together, Graveyards are covering dry arid land. Organs are failing, skin decomposing, Monotone signal, the end is at hand Nature's solution to our domination is Death to us vermin, forcing her hand. Eight billion people consuming and breeding, Judgment is coming, God's fighting back. Researchers spending the government money, Working and toiling for global relief. Virus is spreading, death toll is rising, No one can save us from our destiny. Biology's clever, pretend we can beat it, Our cures will be endless, needles and pills. Natural predators, we have defeated, so Look in the mirror to see who to kill. Top of the food chain, the view here is lovely, and We've got the science to outlive it all. Then why are we blind to the fucking solution? Genocide beckons, let's heed the call. Pillage and plunder, rape, hate, and torture. Roll out the nukes in the name of our lord, Wars were the answer for culling our culture. Let's have us a party with gangrenous sores.

DESTINY IN FLESH Effigy, tied to stake for Fatal claim, doomed to find Endless waste in rotting minds, His dreams see eternal cries. Leaders and victims, festering symmetry, Contagion of serpentine nature proposed. Corpulent weakness in apotheosis by Flesh torn asunder, cadavers disposed. Waking dead! All misled! Cursed by fate! Far too late! A forgery interred, desperate need. Mutilated scowl of a dying breed. Look in the mirror, drown out the sight, The face looking back shall not live out the night. Fermented sadism behind those grey eyes, Disemboweled legacy, searing your lies. Sculpted demise, brought by legions undead. Destiny in flesh, endless bloodshed you dread. Drums pounding violently, the dance has begun. We are the eclipse silencing rays of the sun. Sharpen our daggers, destroy the enemy. Laughter of the soulless condemns him with glee. Leaders and victims, festering symmetry, Contagion of serpentine nature proposed. Corpulent weakness in apotheosis by Flesh torn asunder, cadavers disposed.

HALOED THORNS Dogma blinds and masses rise, Candles lit for eternal prize. Needs of spirit have comfort here, Book of death, hold it near. Sacrifice long ago, needless torture, blow by blow, Punished son, beaten, torn, see him there, dying slow Nature's gift in angel born, viral plague through haloed thorns. Breeding death from war and scorn, faith will perish in this storm. Human nature, human kind, Can we see or are we blind? Life is never black or white, See the grays and gain your sight Stand up in your churches, Singing empty hymns, Passing the collection plate, Fill it to the brim. Money funds the massacres, Graves filled with the dead, Keep reciting verses while Priests do things unsaid. Icons stand for morals, Don’t stray into sin. Satan comes to take you, Can’t you see him grin? Remember all the people, Bombs strapped to their chests? You are not so far from them, One more crusader blessed. Check those holy symbols, Do they really shine? Censor one more art form and I'll break your fucking spine.

Aspiration 03:46
ASPIRATION Losing your skill, day by day: Unending work has made plain Tired of life, pittance made. This spark fades away Chalkboards raised you, bar code painted, Sharpened wit with scribbled grades. Grown man ready, view untainted, Human weakness ends today. Endless days spent breaking nature, Toxic fumes turned into toys, Shiny plastic, greasy fingers, Ears go deaf from endless noise. Planning a holocaust, dark mutilation. Venting your anger to forget the frustration. Inevitability weakens their lies, Hammer of justice crushes their cries. Revenge is your horror, the silence your friend. Let go of compassion, no more you'll pretend. After you're finished, they'll cease to exist, The demons you'll torture, dead of your fists. Locked away in utter darkness, Far away from happy skies Howling madly, laughing deeply, Sharpened nails rip out your eyes.

Undeceiver 06:45
UNDECEIVER Black and white exchanged... Anger a virtue Lust betrayed Left alone to wander. Bear disease, On wings of a phoenix… No decisions left No compromise to plunder. Contradict all that you have said, As the blood runs cold in your heart of lead. A hollow wraith is what you've become, To my endless hate will your soul succumb. Retribution awaits. Design your tomb Engulf the mind. Cease the beating of my heart. Condemn betrayal as thy crime. No decisions left No compromise to plunder. Grim descent, stained in bile. Consuming passion unto me. Reconcile this death, immolate me. Judge my transgression Destroy this shell Devour me. Penchant for lies, forgive me not. Blind me with myself Caress this broken shattered form. Drown it all and come out laughing.

about

www.facebook.com/pages/Inquest/107716819307686

Inquest is a death metal band started in 2005 by Timbus and Paul Chakerian. Eventually, the lineup stabilized with Paul (vocals), Timbus (guitars), Chris Farwell (guitars), and Alex Duddy (drums). After recording a full length called "Scalped Alive!!!" in 2006 and playing many local shows, the members of Inquest ended up focusing on other things and the band went on indefinite hiatus. Since this hiatus has become permanent, I (Timbus) have decided to release a partially re-recorded and remastered version of our album and hopefully let our friends and fans of our current projects have a glimpse of what we were like in the past

This album was originally recorded between June and October 2005. Timbus remixed/re-recorded/remastered it between February 2009 and October 2010 (along with new vocals by Alex Alereza).
