[Intro] (Ambient freezing wind + distant monastic chanting + slow dissonant guitar swells) [Verse 1 – Abyssal growls, short violent imagery] Cities rot in comfort, souls sold for ease Excuses carved in flesh like a terminal disease Weak hands raised in surrender, eyes vacant and blind A generation choking on its own decline [Pre-Chorus – Tormented layered screams with repetition] Lie… lie… another lie… Hide… hide… forever hide… [Chorus – Large memorable phrase, abyssal growls + layered screams] AGE OF LIES! EMPIRE OF THE WEAK! AGE OF LIES! THE STRONG NO LONGER SEEK! AGE OF LIES! CRAWL AND MAKE YOUR PLEA! AGE OF LIES! HUMANITY’S FINAL DECREE! [Verse 2 – Short violent imagery] Virtue signals flicker while the world burns slow Cowards chant their slogans in the dying glow Every chain they worship, every truth they deny A civilization begging just to slowly die [Pre-Chorus] Lie… lie… another lie… Hide… hide… forever hide… [Chorus] AGE OF LIES! EMPIRE OF THE WEAK! AGE OF LIES! THE STRONG NO LONGER SEEK! AGE OF LIES! CRAWL AND MAKE YOUR PLEA! AGE OF LIES! HUMANITY’S FINAL DECREE! [Instrumental Break – 18-22s] (Dissonant tremolo guitar leads over blast beats with monastic chanting layered underneath + crushing bass drops) [Breakdown – Slower crushing line, abyssal growls] This is the age… where excuses reign… Where cowards feast… and heroes are slain… [Final Chorus – Escalation with tormented layered screams + monastic chanting] AGE OF LIES! EMPIRE OF THE WEAK! AGE OF LIES! THE STRONG NO LONGER SEEK! AGE OF LIES! BEG AND KNEEL AND DIE! AGE OF LIES! WATCH THE LAST LIGHT DIE! [Final Instrumental Outro] (Slow crushing riff with fading monastic chanting, freezing wind, and distant tormented screams) [Outro – Deep abyssal whisper] Age of Lies… Nothing remains.
