Dwell in shroud of darkest thoughts
Lost in clouds of blackest rot Cower from the light, I Seek horrid delights, a Crooked wretch of shadow, scum and spite I dig for eggs beneath sea’s soil I long for flesh, fresh or spoiled Bottomfeeder! Cower from the light, I Seek horrid delights, a Crooked wretch of shadow, scum and spite I’m biting, seething Sequestered, breeding And always feeding on those more needing 03. Brine Pool Aberration
Salt of the earth, salt of the sea
Lake within ocean, dream within dream Time has no place here in the brine Your oblivious death forever enshrined Impossible life, impossible breath Few will escape impossible death The darkness is coming, it’s more than you know Beware of desires to see what’s below Brain asphyxiation Anoxic condemnation Transubstantiation Abominable mutation 04. Trenches
I’ve been down
Head underground I swim around From town to town Although I’m alone Inside my mind The light in my head it will serve as my guide I seek don’t find I press rewind I sink, I dive I laugh and cry Sometimes I want to die Deep inside I sense a plight That void within will take my life Yet as above, now so below 05. Loki’s Castle
Destroy, devolve, deny any progress
Explore, exploit, gut the resources Build, reform, beneath the thermal vents We won’t die for men’s weak shit They’ll dig and purge, we won’t submit Arise, attack, protect the black fortress Call the ancients in spells of discordance Amorphous grim chorus Clouds of blackened smoke most ominous We won’t die for men’s weak shit They’ll dig and purge, we’ll fight for it Pogonophora lays claim to this pit Men take what they want but do not earn it 07. Pompeii Worm
Writhing in ecstasy and pain
Entombed as the ashes fall again Burst through the hardened, callous flesh Cycles of life and death enmeshed Incandescent worm of hell Horror of the deep Born to burn forevermore Beyond the realm of dreams I am flame, a blaze of burning light Scorch the sky to deepest shade of black Reach my roots to hellfire and back Torrid waters churn inside Boiling me alive Symbiotic parasite says Everything is fine I am flame, a blaze of burning light Scorch the sky to deepest shade of black Reach my roots to hellfire and back 09. The Abyssal Plain
Sink to blackest depths
Scream with your last breath Untold horrors swarm Death’s translucent forms Ah, I succumb! Sin, fill my lungs! Born in darkest gloom A perpetual tomb Blinded by the light Nothing left but spite Ah, I succumb! Sin, fill my lungs! Cimmerian shade All hope has decayed Necrosis of the mind Life and death combined Annelida Pompejana Pachyptila Exoculata Cimmerian shade All hope has decayed Necrosis of the mind Life and death combined Anoxic dementia Melancholia Face mortality Become the toxic sea 10. Black Smoke
Deep inside earth’s core
Lives a detrivore Feeds on decayed flesh Feasts till nothing’s left Fighting and feeling the teeth now unyielding Writhing and bleeding and screaming in horror Coral plains Unsustained Greed results in Suffering Casualties Of sullen dreams Now we’re sinking towards anarchy Where we’re going we don’t need our Eyes to see, beyond the sea of Energy, a Haze of darkness blooms in void How long before it’s all destroyed? Give forth what you take We’re not slaves to the grave for your tyrranies 12. Eutrophication
Toxic bloom, veridian tomb
Breath in darkest alchemy Suffocate, all that I create Identity now atrophied Rot away, putrescent decay Trapped beneath decrepit shroud Fight or flight, stagnate without light Innocence now disavowed I feel the warmth of the sun slip away Ominous cloud looms above disarray I feel the blood in my veins start to slow Coagulate into sludge from below Rest in death’s glow Thrive in shadow |
