"We chose 'Devotion for Tyranny' as the first single because it's probably the most straightforward and uncompromising song on the album, and it perfectly represents the main themes of the album," Hour Of Penance comments. "This animated video is heavily inspired by the mysterious atmospheres of Soulslike games and the hooded man represents the revolutionary vanguard that overthrows the established order based on wealth and oppression, that has left the Earth a barren and sterile land for a deformed and enslaved humanity to live in. The visual references to the elements of the alchemical process are a metaphor for the transformative power of the human will. It's a dystopic vision of a not-so-distant future and a warning."

► Lyrics:
And as the plague keeps crawling
They eat the innards of the saints
We failed

Drawn to the pit by the smell of the carcass
Mankind is enticed to oppression
Blind and tied then bred to swallow this ill-fated blasphemous creed
Taste the vile golden crown
Forge anew the curse of life
Sworn to obey your masters calling
Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith

Bastards who hail the unseen servitude
To fulfill their need to endure
They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced
May their kin be eradicated to delight in everlasting grace

Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you
Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives

Tyranny - We shall be devoted to centuries of pain
Tyranny - We shall be devoted to slavers of the self

Rabid like dogs, we serve and disgust you
Weaving our self loathe to cling upon our lives

Oh monarch, beseech us to keep upon our necks and feet the gentle chains of higher scorn
Avow the guilt and skin the earth upon which I sacrifice my will and my desire for thee

Fierce is the one who detests his creation
As rot engulfs the ascended
Choice became the mark of the traitors
Hanging down from sacred trees
Spiritual cancer swells
To dissolve our mortal shell
Don’t you see they birthed the culling?
Tyranny is the saviour’s will and faith

Bastards who hail the unseen servitude
To fulfill their need to endure
They cast them in gaols, tortured, skinned, maimed and sliced
May their kin be eradicated to feed the neverending grace of war
