The sleeper awakens
To an estranged abode Aeons ensconced in Cimmerian shade A cherub defrocked unearths true grace Shield my eyes from the light Innocent retinas deserve no such torture It derives from hominid hands The greatest sin of all; a ruse for feeble minds We are the Philosophers of Grime Sovereigns of creation, Eternity ornate Tending threads with the Fates Fuck all the angels Heaven torn down By frail convictions Mercy begged through twisted benedictions Not indiscriminate malevolence But reason's new dawn Stripped of ancient sins We flirt with the shroud of infinity Tempting utopia We bend not but with the cosmic winds We are sons of the stars To each, divinity; unfathomable acuity The only darkness, a freedom from malicious light Oracles of the vermillion sunrise 02. Weeping Relic
Mausoleum Mind
Fear Divine Fatal dance with space and time A Breeding ground Where demons and deities multiply Oppressed by hollow threats That tongues of flame lick the jaws of death A Judas Kiss With fire and brimstone on its breath Bow to the holy one Benevolence bleeding from his eyes Teach me how to suffer Teach me how to die I'll slough off my skin Let slavery absolve me of my sin Relinquish my thoughts in the eyes of the night Fill me with your burning light Consume my mind Cleanse me Make me divine I feel the devil inside Immolate me I'm purified Haunted by the holy ghost Bastard son Unholy host Asphyxia in incense smoke A feast for the damned Feel the blood drip down your throat Weeping Relic Pleading Death Father Holy terror Endless suffering 03. Heaven's Deceit
Rise
The whispering winds, they bear secrets, and deep in our veins we grieve The days are delusion, the nights stretch into abyss And sometimes, I feel I can hear? From behind a curtain of velvet, draped in smoke, whispers demand: "Let it be done" Decrees from furtive gods, history defeated, the trembling of earth: "Let it be done" Bred like beasts, we may not ascend, captive cognition Deus ex machina, the slyest interference All they ask is unwavering ignorance, a sacrifice to dominance We cry to our savior, as fate seals with wax: "Samael, open your book" But the marionette cannot stir alone And so it goes The meek and the strong meet the same fate, all is forgotten and their words become flesh Their sun remains atop the sky eternally; it shall never set upon the necromancion age 04. Resonator
I do not fear death
Inverted reality; backwards birth A mirror world hidden from view Antithesis of real My body atrophies Blood, broth of bone Sadistic. Nihilistic. Euphoria. Antitheist. Omnipotent. Intoxication. Sinew drips from foundation Condensation into orbit Distorted windows Labyrinthine dreams Swept by winds Coagulations and collisions with stars Passage of time To dust; we are angels Resonating exaltation of woe Celestial sorrows obey So amuses the great tyrant Time laughs 06. Nepenthe
It's a blinding, pervasive light
Today the sunrise is vermillion I will drink the tears of the stars Fill me with flames, shortcircuit my neurons I probe the intangible spectra Whisper truths to the ones who can't speak Climb out from the stifling void Emerge the rising sons of neptune But the path is perilous Beware the siren's call, it churns and swells A respite to distract from the trail, but... The nepenthe...it kills Cast it aside It allures, but the concoction is sinister You shall not trespass at the gates of gods Avert our wanton eyes, preclude our inquiries With hollow stimulation and promises of eternity Reject the nepenthe Follow the serpentine vermillion to the brink of existence 07. Monarch
When the darkness has swallowed the light
And the hour of the witch is at hand When my sigil streaks across the sky By the light of the moon, I'll descend to the throne and take my command Never deign to bow Deities and decrees I Disavow I lay down my soul at the altar of sin I won't fail I am my own God Eternity prevailed Disappear through the dark... Monarch at the gates of hell All hail the usurper Demons greet me A swirling cacophony Beat infernal wings Princess of hell Obsequious offerings Writhe in ecstasy A choir of the damned Chant my name Hymns rise upon the flames In ancient tongues With strength I burn Extinguish the sun Awaken dormant seed Prophetic mystery Summon powers unto me The monarch I rise To shake the mantle of heaven 09. Pavor Nocturnus
Starless void
Eternal night Pierce the shroud of space and time Voyagers Oneiric lands Tip the hourglass again To be adrift in the astral sea Sub-atomic dis-assembly Scatter me Consciousness evolved Inter-stellar entity Event Horizon Re-absorbed into the black Kaleidoscopic light Universal collapse A cosmic gestation Ego disintegration The senses awaken Child of the stars Astral projection Synaptic connection A state of perfection Orgastic oblivion Our universe, a grain of sand A blood borne cell In capillarian networks Feeding the all We are conduits of experience Extensions of thought From cosmic minds Uncover the essence of life We fade away Dissolve into dust Galactic detritus Frozen in time Ashes in the wind A memory forgotten Bursts of light Blinded by sight We are nothing We are Nothing 10. Titan
Ascending his tower
Adorned in terminal necklace Tattered fibers A most prized jewel Dominion over my body Sovereignty Release me from this weary vessel Carry me home Lull me to sleep Grant me reprieve As the sun sets A tainted moon riseth Gleaming on stone Asphyxiated angel Titan's winds blow Swept away... |
