Bury me with your eyes Call me a fool Tell me the tales I've heard a thousand times before I've made up my mind Your words, your lies won't stop me anymore Endless knowledge of the dark Entombed and sealed a thousand kings ago Three cheers for dishonesty My eyes still see right through you and you know Wisdom as old as time A fantasy Evoked in prose so many times before In this city buried deep Revealed at last and known forevermore Endless knowledge of the dark Entombed and sealed a thousand kings ago Three cheers for dishonesty My eyes still see right through you and you know As I read My sight fades and pressure builds inside my head When a bolt of sharp pain splits my skull in two I scream my fucking throat to shreds Endless knowledge of the dark Entombed and sealed a thousand kings ago Three cheers for dishonesty My eyes still see right through you and you know

Rides through the storm in mountain shadows Not knowing death walks beside him Sees through his eyes and only He knows Spreading Slowly An antidote to sanity Walk to your grave, join the ranks of The legion of the damned Arrives in town thinking he may be Safe at last after his brushes with death Sealing their fate with every gaze he Dooms them Slowly An antidote to sanity Look in his eyes, see the madness partake of the antidote to sanity Walk to your grave, join the ranks The legion of the damned An antidote to sanity Look in his eyes, see the madness partake of the antidote to sanity Walk to your grave, join the ranks The legion of the damned Fragments of dreams All that I see, dead and gone A black tomb in a mountain I know what needs to be done

They lay me down on a gloomy night Pass through the gates once more Don’t let the pain be your guiding light I’ll reach the shore Pace through the cemetery A final prayer in the rain Beneath the weight you carry Find a way to kill the pain And if they go they’ll discover Tell them they’ll know the way And on the day that they find me Lead me away Pace through the cemetery A final prayer in the rain Beneath the weight you carry Find a way to kill the pain Pace through the cemetery A final prayer in the rain Beneath the weight you carry Find a way to kill the pain
4.
A sense of desperation rips through our addled minds The light of day so distant We walk in circles paranoid To be destroyed Our duty by the wayside As the truth gets harder to avoid Still like a cemetery The city in the mountain I see our steps repeating As they disintegrate the stone We're alone No soul has seen this city Since before man made this world his own A monolith arises The scene burns in our eyes The screaming in our heads Intensifies in terror lost in sight Black as night This ancient mausoleum Grips the soul and tears away the light More hostile every second Feeds like a parasite This city pulls us under There is no hope of being saved We're enslaved With weary resignation We recognize this city as our grave
5.
A Book of Death opens in the night Trying to find answers in it’s black pages Attention drawn by a ghostly light So far away And yet I feel like it’s calling to me I can’t believe my eyes, no Is this where my destiny lies A dream so deep, blackened from afar Slow to awaken and piece it together A prophecy written in the stars It’s all so clear My dream was destiny calling for me I can’t believe my eyes, oh Is this where my destiny lies One by one they followed the path to their destiny They were never heard from again
6.
Tension evergrowing An evil presence is walking beside me A war of attrition With my immortal enemy Annihilation A love of the violence Eternal chaos Destroying the silence We’ll break the tension, this empire of madness shall fall Once and for all Anger blurs my vision As the thought of revenge has me spellbound I’ll spread my wings of fire And I’ll burn it to the ground Annihilation A love of the violence Eternal chaos Destroying the silence We’ll break the tension, this empire of madness shall fall Once and for all Screaming bloody murder In the chaos the warnings go unseen When the blood is flowing it’s hard to keep the fighting clean And in the heat of the fight all the senses dull We were dead the moment we entered But in the face of this all I will promise you I will die before I let you take control

Death March 03:34
Walked for ages but there is no end in sight The moon and stars all hang unmoving in the sky Tell me where this path is leading to I see you dying and I hope I'm dying too Eternities have passed, I don't seem to decay And powerless I watch you all just fall away Tell me where this path is leading to I see you dying and I hope I'm dying too Unfathomably ancient, ruling in his deathlike state The master keeps us close An infinite death march devoid of hope, as he reigns in repose
8.
Peaceful and still like a wake or the calm before a storm Crows flying up from the palace roof Everyone tries to ignore it, they're trying to conform But I notice the fear seeping through Notice the world falling away The silent agony that’s spreading like a plague I close my eyes and I still see the chaos from before Skulls smashed on stone, frantic misery Blood running down marble steps leading to the palace door Masses pray for these blind men to see Notice the world falling away The silent agony that’s spreading like a plague Today Do you best to try and carry on Though deep inside you know you can't depend on anything It echoes through the world Hear the proclamation for yourself "The king is dead, long live the king" All sacrifices in vain, all our martyrs laid to rest Signal the start of an age of strife Don't let the sunshine deceive you, a storm is coming fast And it will last for the rest of your life Notice the world falling away The silent agony spreading like a plague Today Do you best to try and carry on Though deep inside you know you can't depend on anything Hear the proclamation for yourself It echoes through the world "The king is dead, long live the king"

Well it’s knives out for the last time Now that the sky’s gone out Now that you realize Think you know what it’s about But soon you’ll see with your own eyes Find a way to believe and to pretend Every day getting closer to the end You prepare as best you can Not realizing how Far this is beyond you Gleaming steel won’t save you now You don’t know it’s inside you too Find a way to believe and to pretend Every day getting closer to the end See your fate, see it bring you to your knees As you wait for the merciful release Independent from the Master, his corruption spreads and subjugates. From the depths of the ancient city to the farthest reaches of the land Not knowing their fate is already sealed, people prepare to fight This will be their final stand. An ephemeral gesture of defiance to be forever lost in time Now that you're facing the end And see you lost long ago Your enemy, he doesn’t know That he reigns in repose You fall into line And disappear into the dark as well Find a way to believe and to pretend Every hour getting closer to the end See your fate, see it bring you to your knees As you wait for the merciful release

The reflection disappears End the misery, that’s leading me there Is there nothing you can do for me Here in nowhere DEATH Falling over me STILL All that I can see REIGNS All I know, and all I feel, and all I'll ever be There’s no air for me to breathe No escape from what is inside my head Way too strong for me to fight alone Out of breath DEATH Falling over me STILL All that I can see REIGNS All I know, and all I feel, and all I'll ever be Give yourself some honesty In the short time ‘til your mind starts to go To reflect on what you have become Me and you both DEATH Falling over me STILL All that I can see REIGNS All I know, and all I feel, and all I'll ever be DEATH Falling over me STILL All that I can see REIGNS All I know, and all I feel, and all I'll ever be

"Time has smiled upon the likes of Legendarium who have gotten exponentially better for their upcoming offering. (...) You simply need to hear it for yourself."

- Head-Banger Reviews

"Legendarium plays good ol' heavy metal with a healthy tinge of jubilant punky bounce (...) Reign in Repose is a highly melodic affair, with an emphasis on fun riffage, triumphant solos, and narrative cohesion."

- Sleeping Village Reviews

"Reign In Repose is a forty minute ride of bloody battle and gothic horror. The style harks back to the early to mid 1980's where metal, punk, horror and hardcore stood hand in hand to produce music that was raw, aggresive and pure." - 4/5 stars
