Thanatotherion - Alienation Manifesto lyrics



Tracks



01. Red Cathedral

Born of essence fraught and upside-down horizons
That transform horror into ether and tallow into frost
In penance, a pleasure, a dalliance with dread

In pale dungeons of alabaster war
In plagues summoned, of innocence devoured
Corrupter of organs, inherit the shroud
Hang the pariah and drown in white virus

Silent (blood red cathedral) Usurper (piss on the sacrament)
Siphon (alien in animus) The orgone (hoarding to fornicate)

Inverted vestiges of savagery in cradles of ash find serenity
From whence came the bringers of idolatry
In vain passed the epoch of iniquity

Like wind upon the ice, the passer in darkness
In shadows a hunter, in sunlight a ghost
To placate the hatred, to open the vein

In crucibles of chaos and entropy is forged a vile vengeance, misanthropy
Cascade the columns and topple the spires
Crushing the faithful with bile and sores

Echoes (blood red cathedral) Of opulence (piss on the sacrament)
Serpent (alien in animus) Dementia (hoarding to fornicate)

Locust-throated heretic choke upon the nemesis
Crucified in the eyes of reptiles
In the eyes

Mithridatic scavenger / pyroclastic paranoid

Purtenance resplendent upon altars of the sky
Vanish like vapor, like vapor…

02. The Raven And The Box Of Stars

Crack the amethyst and bleed the fever weak and seeping

Shattered teeth of sordid siege / Speak in tongues of the bereaved
Fallow hymns to cosmic sleep (crystallized in rot)
Rise like wisps from valleys smoldering (petrified in ice)

Scything sick and spoiling wheat
Fathoms undreamt in void meridians

Hatred pure and pulsing black / Flows like poison drunk and shivering
Vomit plague and gushing fire (a pox upon their house)
Harvest bone from horde mortality

Gaze into the face of nothingness

A crystal cataclysm shadowed by the might of madness
In dripping viscera the end was from the birth foretold
Shifting apocalypses blissfully in bloom unending

Abandon artifice, implode as all creation ceases
Inverted existence, the raven and the box of stars
A myth born dreaming death, the burning womb inseminated
Truthless cacophony, in chaos wrought the silent poem

This was when the choir of ravens spoke:

There is dignity in anonymity
There is avarice in every fool
There is dignity in anonymity
There is avarice in every fool

Manifest / Unease / Matricide / Disease
Bellicose / Deflowered / Babylon / Devoured

Insectoid arhythmic pulse
Count the hours in suffering

Drown the eye in blood
Purify the unknown orifice
Corvidae corrupt
Stars collapse, erupt unshackled in death

03. Orb

Monuments in dust are born
Skeletons to dust return
Sentience in passing form
Empty altar bleeding stone

04. Wilczyca

Through chasms bleak and weeping
Through blackened azimuths
Of bloodless banshees screeching
In dreamless diatribes

Wearing the skin of sinister ghosts
Slithering sister, mirror divide
Eat of the flesh, a withering host
Flee from the light, a poison inside

Amongst the sheep, of tooth and taloned claw
In shadowed keep, abyssal concealment
A boiling brood, the alchemy of fire
In crimson hues, elixir of ether

Werewoman, seeress beyond sight
Enchanted, charmed levitation
Inversion, predatory curse

In chambers deep and shrouded / Obscured by therianthropy

A bird of prey, a carrier of plague
Of widow’s ways, the weirding enthrallment
To beckon death, upon the quarry cast
Heretic hex of total debasement

Crepuscule, loathing of the light
Occulted alienation
Infection, anathemic oath

In the aftermath, the acquiescent parallax in quantum quietus remains
Entheogen, Apollyonic Pythian
O oracle of ibogaine!

Bleed, avenge seething teeth and rend screaming:

Blind sight, harpies in flight, cast on your enemies boils and blight
Pluck from the sockets their eyes in spite, smother in darkness their breath, benight!
Blind sight, harpies in flight, cast on your enemies boils and blight
Pluck from the sockets their eyes in spite, smother in darkness their breath, benight!

05. Nuclear Womb

(Cyanide) blossoming blind perversity
(Suicide) feast on the child of light, maligned
(Acrid womb) crowning in sickness, gash perineum
(Mystified) hatred and sin, incinerate

Hail Omega chaos union, venerate the inward sun
Fungal clouded crest horizon, violate the sanctity

The creeping vines of dawning holocaust reach for the warmth
Constricting throats in freezing vacuum, backwards cavity
The unburnt hand retracts from that which brings illumination
And nullifies the season, scorch the earth in waves of cosmic doom
Waves of cosmic doom

Bearing sight to the monolith collapsing, a final thrust into the storm’s eye vortices
Birthing Caesar slicing
In blood and ash are written tomes of uroboros riven, wholes made lesser than
Crawling crippled toward the dawn
Crawling toward the dawn

Bearing sight to…

Burn the umbilical, glorified infanticide
Death ritual, cremated neonate

Caress the infinite, sever the never-ending
Open the arteries, they spill out fire and blasphemy
A luminescent spiral sucking down theosophies
Create to uncreate, dissolve the manifesto
Ascended offerings, rising obsolete oblations
In vacant space reverberating howls of prophecy
Howls of prophecy

Giving life to a rising sun that sweeps clean all that lies within its gaze
In broken paragraphs, the poets choke on corpses’ dust and die in obscurity, chapters evaporating
All is meaningless and nothing is all

06. Lament

Lament genesis sequence manifest
Lament genesis sequence manifest
Lament genesis sequence manifest
Lament genesis sequence manifest
Lament genesis sequence manifest
Lament genesis sequence manifest

07. Codex Crepusculum

Coronation of the sickening, that which once reflected purity

In kingdoms lost are epics sought and rubble crushed to gold
Azure hallucinations speak anthropomorphic fire

Byzantine and weak, the empire
Delicate and frail, the king
Omens whisper doomed dominions etherealized

Annihilation summons life inhuman
Disintegration shrieking black forever

In tendrils green and forests lush do flourish life’s decay
A providence does death largesse, pillars of living stone

Epoch of the beast in winter, thundering the dogs of plague
This bitter farce, this fatal comedy
This mockery, oblique grotesque pain
Quintessential sightless genus purified
In deepest soil churns sustenance, vanquished palindrome

Liquid fantasy / Cryptic delusion
Eye within an eye / Man without a soul

Suiciding mass psychosis cadaveric coma regicide

Terminal Pleistocene, as the curtain falls on the quaternary
The phantoms bow as dead roses rain to screeching howls

Verdant foliage / Swallows fortresses
Castles crack and die / Crumbling citadels

Radiating arcane volume, pages open to oblivion:

The toil of beasts is sacred, and the sacrament divine
The meat is parasitic, and the blood is spoilt with wine
Blood is spoilt with wine…

The passing specters feed, the ghost is starving
In desiccated flesh the maggots gorging

Veining splays the deltas of death
Delivering poisons with every breath
Swarm the corpse, the gnashing of teeth
Crushing the suffering husk beneath

Of ash which once was fire, the tome is smoldering
The gloaming twilight peaks, codex crepusculum

In kingdoms lost there blossoms rot in carcasses untold
Silent hallucinations weep, dreamless in slumber lie

Primeval and dead, the empire
Crown upon a skull, the king
Omens whisper doomed dimensions
An eye within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye within an eye within an eye
within an eye
