about
An Aristea's End was first conceived in the last months of Winter 2006 by Daniel Saunders. The song was completed and committed to digital record in the Summer of the following year. At the time it was called 'The Pyromaniac', and featured different lyrics written by then guitarist Ethan King.
It remains the first ever song Dan wrote and set the standard for Phyrexia material thereafter.
lyrics
Lyrics written and arranged by Elliot Beaver
The world has bowed, Beneath my sword
Hewn and destroyed, Legions of Bodies
lie at my feet, All cut down
A crimson lake, Reflects my face
God of destruction,
Ancient terror
Final empty victory
No mercy for the weak, Fleeing for life,
Living on battlefields, Like cattle to slaughter,
They fall on my blade, Sacrificed
To the god that dwells within my blood
And so the fight becomes meaningless,
A pointless struggle, No honour, no glory
In this end the only battle
Left to fight, Towards suicide
