Crawling the walls through every crack and crevice
Teems blackness washing over the windowpanes painting the buildings in between Creeping down the alley ways consuming every street Soundless swarm of nothingness sure to doom us all Pulling screaming earthlings into its toothless jaws Endlessly beginning spreading with no sign of stop Horror of horrors truly maddening in size Running just prolongs the end inevitably it strides Where has it come from? how can it be stopped? So quickly we're to meet our end our empire we have lost Karmatic Armageddon no religion could foresee A planet once forsaken not even a memory Streetlights bend into the void cars enveloped whole Darkness deeper than a blind man's sleep soon to paint the world Insatiable its hunger it drinks the sea without a belch Stretching to the other side where it is sure to meet itself Unearthly vacuum devouring the hourglass now empty Its time to say goodbye watching your life flash before mortal eyes Terror fills your heart screams of anguish greet your ears Living death voracious insidious impervious to damage we are slaughtered as if lambs. 02. What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
This twisted wretched place shadowed by the utmost darks of hell
In dreams of black beyond the bounds of a withered witch's spell Where the doors surely are locked when the sun threatens to wane Where shamblers dwell in dim moon light beyond the warmth of day Liars line the roads at dawn Watchful eyes are upon you held Sacred weapons to the sacred revealed to be unleashed upon the council of hell Blood flows down the streets at night where wolves cry out for flesh Where a horrible curse taints the woodlands nearby with the forms of the walking dead Unholy inversion of hope twisting the faith of the meek into hate Driven insane by the dark one to bring fourth the foul biddings he speaks The undead are among us 'till they shrink back to their silken beds They dance by night and drink the blood of a child's broken neck His spires are growing taller still shadows spreading throughout the land freeing the evils That sleep within the weaker minds of man [Solo] Into the tower never go the horrors multiply The gears can mince the strongest ones leaving heroes paralyzed The rivers flow with poison The sands swallow you whole The ghouls that roam this darkened wood are thirsting for your throat Unholy inversion of hope twisting the faith of the meek into hate Driven insane by the dark one to bring forth the foul biddings he speaks The undead are among us 'till they shrink back to their silken beds They dance by night and drink the blood of a child's broken neck His spires are growing taller still shadows spreading throughout the land freeing the evils That sleep within the weaker minds of man 03. Virally Yours
The sound of vomiting
To my ears like singing Now im beginning to become erect With illness im obsessed In the beds of the fallen i rest Fixation amplified the smell here is what i like best Feverishly combing the buckets of waste Wrapping myself in the filth-ridden sheets Raping the shells of the comatose to fulfill my needs Photographing bedsores cultured by my sick neglect Its more then a job, its a love for me To walk this close with death When you hear a flat line you know surely i'll be near To when the reapers sickle is drawn i am ever aware I wish i could pull these strings In death there are finer things Malpractice forever be my bitter name How quickly life does fade away But one flip of the rivers man coin Could send you screaming to your grave [Solo] Grief stricken family watches on ceaseless prayers for an only son "Im afraid that nothing can be done" the moment has finally come The wrath of a god exemplified to the pearly gates he'll soon arrive To leave here his husk in this room of white im quivering at thought Pull the plug I'm begging you Take the ride To the cold and blue The reapers yellowed lichen finger aims ever so true The origins of disease I have witnessed in my dreams The flooding of the blackest blood to quench my fetid needs I wish i could pull these strings In death there are finer things Malpractice forever be my bitter name I wish i could pull these strings In death there are finer things 04. I Worship Only What You Bleed
Oh, it's flowing through me, combusting with contempt.
Rationality abandoning, chemically led astray. Stepping outside the confines of the circle. Bane of society become. I'm about to cross the line and take a life. Nothing can stop me now. Murderous functioning, the animal within me speaks. Nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs. I am your master, superior I reign. Poised just above you on this death-distorted chain. [Solo] The need to kill transcends temptation. I'm sick and in need of blood. Withdrawals haunt me, taunt me, sickly baiting. My needs can never be undone. Murderous functioning, the animal within me speaks. Nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs. I am your shepherd cloaked in obscenity. Heed these sickening words: I worship only what you bleed. I am your master, superior I reign. Poised just above you on this death-distorted chain. 05. Nocturnal
Between the lies
Our dead language tongues Before the dawns Our hearts they shall hunt The smell of blood excites the nostrils at first cut The sanguinary worship of red spraying punctures a sight so divine clutching her carcass face Frozen in time A distorted dialect for the draining of veins To the flooding of bed sheets with sick crimson rain A warped diction of scriptures befould Traditions steeped within disgraces reviled Father unholy one to your night realm we bow Nocturnal majesty sworn to black we'll always be Damnation's diction a deadly disclosure Our poisons in their goblets drip how perfectly Hideous so eloquently scribed each scripture so skillfully sick parchments scabbed over with Plasmatic prose Prophesize permanent night The words of sheer blackness paint ebony my soul and bestow me with infernal might A warped diction of scriptures befouled Traditions steeped within disgraces reviled Father unholy one to your night realm we bow Nocturnal majesty sworn to black we'll always be Hatred and persistence destined to see A complete eclipse Of that hated sphere the sun [Solo] By the light unspoken This language of brutality Enraptured i have become Unholy nights arms welcome me Nocturnal majesty sworn to black we'll always be Hatred and persistence destined to see A complete eclipse Of that hated sphere the sun 06. Deathmask Divine
Removal of the eyes gives my heart a saddened chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde to gaze upon at will How their greenish flecks befell me that starlit winter's night I lost all that I ever was while locked within their sight Before you sits a broken man, your fragile pinkish heart in hand Peculiar how it can hurt so bad while love is only in the mind I sew the gaping chest wound, each thread is made with love The bosom where I would rest my face is covered in your blood No This is not the end, You'll live on eternally Oh Lord it's not the end, My secret you'll forever be I interrupt this transformation, A familiar lust swelling in me A long and soulful kiss, the shades are drawn, the living world can't see The coil of entrails, how curious the smell, so pungent to my eager nostrils Hands further compelled No It's not the end Forever you'll be in my arms. I could never let you go My darling, cold and blue I wonder are you dreaming still Spread eagled, blood removed I weave the sucking trocar beneath your bruising skin tonight I'll lay beside you darling In necromantic sin [Solo] Pinned to the bed sheets like a priceless butterfly you're mine I hear your voice, so precious, echoing deeply inside I did my best to love you while you did live and breathe This tender taxidermy trophy of the bereaved. I could never let you go My darling, cold and blue I wonder are you dreaming still Spread eagled, blood removed I weave the sucking trocar beneath your bruising skin tonight I'll lay beside you darling In necromantic sin 07. Of Darkness Spawned
(Pretenders to the throne) Kneel before him, appalling wretched demon king.
Praise be to us, his children, spawns of evil's reckoning. Doomed from inception, claiming fire as our home. Licked by flames our steel grows stronger to be forged in hate forevermore. A hellish scorn quickly approaches violent climax. Infernal legions, the time nears when we'll strike. The shadows serving to enshroud us, our blackened hearts. Those forgotten looming just beyond their sight. The blood of pariahs through our veins. Sin and Hell our mainstay, forever to remain. O' to ye wicked ones, an ode of blood, a reaper's song, Demons born of man's sickest desire, those of the darkness spawned. Fires of Hell, I stroke thee high through the open gates ever so wide, bury me in sin. The daggers have been raised, now let's begin. The margins of sanity blur into night. As one we'll move beyond the light, murder effortlessly without a tear, Our motives to them never clear. Damn this liar's world, we are the truth you've all awaited, impaling holy fallacy, The filthy blood of Christian seed. Akin to the looming serpent we've patiently anticipated. The time to rise is upon us. My lord, I kneel before you, now paint me bloody red. Bathing in blasphemy, I beat the path that's traveled less. The forgotten, your minions, our souls are black. We are the thousands in the darkness awaiting to attack. [Solo] Infernal legions, their heads shall be your prize, Trophies to our dominion of conquests only fantasized. O' to ye wicked ones, an ode of blood, a reaper's song, Demons born of man's sickest desire, those of the darkness spawned. Fires of Hell, I stroke thee high through the open gates ever so wide, bury me in sin. The daggers have been raised. Oh the dance of death, she's a sweet one. To our victory we will drink 08. Climactic Degradation
Devastate,
Leave them weeping in your wake A family's broken dreams with gloved hand I separate Mutilate them, carve them up, bring them to their knees The powers of the knife at hand, if it breathes it fucking bleeds Mankind end time disgusted with this race I pluck them from the universe pawns of my favourite game Cut them all down, completely randomized Never a clue nor trace is left identity disguised I measure joy in suffering, with a rope and blade I maim Humiliate these fallen souls, this earth of sick disgrace Climactic degradation, Rapture in blood achieved Suffocate them, Rip them, Rape them, Make them fucking scream Orgasmic mutilation, On terror I do feed Annihilate this bastard race, I'll make them bleed for me (Solo) I'm taking you down with me into this hell of hells Stabbed in the throat, sputtering blood, my need is never quelled You must stand here before me, my judgement ends in death I tower over your broken bodies, face speckeled in red How sweet it is to revel in your flesh, I won't stop until the last is dead Climactic degradation, Rapture in blood achieved Suffocate them, Rip them, Rape them, Make them fucking scream Orgasmic mutilation, On terror I do feed Annihilate this bastard race, I'll make them bleed for me 09. To A Breathless Oblivion
The chairs been kicked a rope tied to the rafters
Blue-faced and broken necked I die Relieving my vision from that sick fucking stare Of that hated sun burning the sky Slumped like a headless scarecrow, cold and limp against the wall Blood paints a pattern of Rorschach's design Thawing the winter that burdens this heart Shit stained and shameful, an exit in disgrace Not a splash but just a ripple left I end in this life in vain, in vain [Solo] In the dead of the darkness, I breach the still lake Toward the reflection of the moon The night colored liquids arresting my lungs Finally at peace in this watery tomb Destroy this fragile body to be gorged upon by worms Not a splash but just a ripple is left in the wake of merciless scorn Beyond those cursed stars above, lies the answer that I seek On the backs of bullets rides my name, longing to kiss my cheek Resentfully decline, retire this hated life Without guilt I break these veins, carved with salvation's knife [Solo] Turn not away, avert not your face; this is how it was meant to be In silence found hanging there, 'bove a pool of waste The beauteous workings of mortality No one can truly, touch another parallel never to cross Pointless, fumbling, sad mistake; only capable of pain Beyond those cursed stars above, lies the answer that I seek On the backs of bullets rides my name, longing to kiss my cheek Resentfully decline, retire this hated life Without guilt I break these veins, carved with salvation's knife 10. Warborn
Amidst a swirling din of smoke and screaming on the battlefield,
Born reared on the teat of y dear mother war. Hardened to stone through abuse, mocked, beaten, And scorned a bayonet severed umbilical cord. The wind sings its sad lullaby through a blackened and hollowed ribcage. I'm to die in battle, divine with the flames as my grave. This realm of inhuman carnage where the blood eternally rains. To my brothers who've fallen before me, I will walk with you again. [Solo] This, my demented playground, the horizon is howling ablaze. A skeletal village illuminates the sky as fire consumes their grains. With glee I rape and torture, my pleasure is inflicting pain. With a vigor unholy, I'll fight to my doom 'til I've vanquished the Christian god's ways. Oh it must be such a different world to which those on the outside exist. At least I know who loves me here, no delusions, all weakness dismissed. An era of inhuman tragedy to be ushered by my iron hand. The oven's bellowed to crematory high to dispose of the god-fearing man. The wind sings its sad lullaby through a blackened and hollowed ribcage. I'm to die in battle, divine with the flames as my grave. This realm of inhuman carnage where the blood eternally rains. To my brothers who've fallen before me, I will walk with you again |
