Lunar Madness
06:12
|
|
||
Spiralling, descending the great tower
To the hidden vaults below
Deep within the heart of the tomb lie secrets of great power
Or grand illusions, despair
What do they seek down there?
Night stained red
Born of suffering - they march forth
With mortal wounds - they shall endure…
Visions… swarm through shallow pools
Along eternal corridors, deep below
Lanterns burn, they light a path for fools
Pious minds ensnared
As night screams from her lair
Through catacombs, stalking endlessly
Primordial prey, a pact of secrecy revealed
Heir to a great deceit
I burned at the feast
You, wholly corrupted
You, servant of perdition
With jagged teeth gleaming
From gardens of nocturne he’ll take flight
Black winged delirium, coalesce with the night
Come forth, succumb, submerge
In the stagnant waters of salvation
A spark was ignited deep inside
They built great walls to hold back the tide
Though some ventured through cracks in the rocks
With a key with which to unlock…
Chaos! Ancient infernal rites
From deep foundations below, to glittering towers on high
And the dull flame of desire was engulfed by perennial fire
Wretched, unnamed
Crawl back from whence you came
They begged the mountains to fall
To hide them from him
The one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb!
Repent, for the day of wrath has come
Voices in the gloom speak of secrets interred…
Deep within the heart of the woods…
An ancient presence blooms
Lunar madness invoked under twilight cloak
Over the hillside, black winged command
For the day has come
And who is able to stand?

Serpent's Coil
05:09
|
|

Mesmerised by fevers of madness
The congregation writhe in pain and fall to their knees
Hearts swell, an unending vastness
While voices cry out from the crypt down below
In terror!
A manic priest garbed in filthy robes
The altar concealed by a sanguine shadow
Primal spark, glint of the knife
As lightning licks the vault, the inferno comes to life
For we shall burn
Bastard sons of damnation
As the smoke clears away
Pass through fires of redemption
Sing a song of the ancient earth
Dark skies speak of lunar rebirth
And the fires that fence in the world rage forth, break free and unfurl
From creation’s eye to the cremation pyre
Gehennah unbound
Feel the serpent’s coil - Ouroboros around your spine
Twisting, constricting, suffocate
This cycle must end, as all things in time
From the Gods, through the depths, to the edge of night
Bloodlust, conflagrate
Fire of the mind, darkness of the soul
The inexorable tide blazing below…
And above life and death shall converge as one
A somnial prophecy, sanctified in flame
At the hour of judgement, the righteous the damned - each of them shall remain
Faith is denial, hail the new flesh
A hellfire odyssey, now let loose those raging arrows of death
Half our soul is madness, by creations decree, thy will be done
And half of heaven is lit up by a black sun
We found Katechon in the catacombs
Now illume those shades of death and light us to the tomb

Fire in the Hills
06:48

|

An awakening, a stirring from the deepest sleep
His journey begins, through barren field, over hanging bridge
He’ll leave no trace, forever is nothing in this place
And the world opens up, as the heavens bay for blood
From howling hills - an unearthly glare
Of furnace flames - sulphur fills the air
Pierce their night - hear the tolling bell
Ashes fall - as the terror music swells
Feel Summer’s fading breath at the crossroads of life and death
We are the voice at the coming of the dawn
We are everything and nothing at all
Fire in the hills shall beckon the fall
Through the mists of time, echoes entwined, you’ll hear our call
Though burning winds won’t linger long
Our hearts ablaze with wicked song
She calls to him, o angel of despair
Goddess of treachery
From caves and shadows and through nightmares
Infernal serpents weave
Terror… as the masses writhe beneath
Chained upon the face of time, bound to wickedness
Devoid of form, thoughts spiral into nothingness
Tethered to the four corners of this world, defy the holy writ
Begin your slow ascent up the hillside to the mouth of the pit…
Of condemnation
Silence in the house of dawn
Glorification
The tombs they shudder as the trumpets roar!
We are the voice at the coming of the dawn
We are everything and nothing at all
Fire in the hills shall beckon the fall
Through the mists of time, echoes entwined, you’ll hear our call
For he is crowned at the feast of devotion
Kingdom below
The end is written and the past shall be undone
Revelations in the abyss

Sulphuric Glow
04:43
|
|
||
Fleeing, deceiving, awaiting the rapture to come
Within the sanctuary, all life has ceased
A poisoned torrent flows
Among the rushes, pitch black disease
Cascading through the coiled depths
Now venture further, behold the gift
Of what he stole from the abyss
The gates of dawn, rusted and deformed
Under a sickle sun
With malice and spite you will succumb to the night
Bleeding the shadows, tormenting the saints
The earthly remains
And buried hearts yearn, while the black tower burns
Onward and downward, with each aching breath
Into the vale of death
Descend through the lower depths of the decayed
Strange yet familiar, a vile masquerade
Words shall form flesh in the grace of seven seals
The illusion of death soon to be revealed
Now the infirm shall be renewed
Black candles light a path for you
Where alleys form a labyrinth
A burning river flows underneath
Cold fingers trace patterns across walls laced with veins
The Holy Ghost, the apostate, the sacred and profane
Voices in the distance - a funerary choir
Orating from the precipice above the endless mire
Of mockery and infamy, o Morning Star, return to thee
A new world is dawning, the old world must end
Horrid manifestations await around the bend
Fever and folly, the cloak of the knave
Drowning in the catacombs amongst the ancient graves
The hallways of the always speak in tongues of blue fire
A sermon for the wretched son, secret of man’s desire
The doorway looms with yearning teeth
A hidden world pulsates beneath
Subterranean undertow - a feverish sulphuric glow
They dance with nefarious purpose
And mad convulsive zeal
The illusion of death shall now be revealed

Vanish Beneath
06:24
|
|
||
Violet rays of a buried sun
These horrors dwell in the mind
Defiled by human hate
They manifest, take flesh
At twilight they pass through the gate
In the realm of a shadow sun
Dark work has just begun
A place between life and death
A nightmare resurrection
Those scorned, enslaved
Supernal law, abysmal fate
They own the night
They do not sleep
A presence pulls you under
To vanish in the deep
Psychedelic malediction
Poisoned conscious bound and chained
Strange lights cast ghoulish visions
And illuminate the grave mounds
Among saturnine depths
Life melts away - as above, so below
Stars hang, chained around your neck
The noose remains
Blood to fire - Flesh to earth
Skin to water - Sepulchral rebirth
Passing through tunnels among the insane
They swarm together, like rats down a drain
The belly of the beast groans with expectant pleasure
Bowels of the earth - machinery is multiplied
A furnace looms and feasts upon infernal treasure
As chimneys spew black ink into the stony sky above
Haunted, hunted forever
Stalking through the kingdom of the damned
Vanished, banished, forgotten
Deliverance by your own hand
A thousand eyes, spinning wild, penetrate
Burning hook, molten blade, lacerate
Jacob’s Ladder, now a spinal column
Transform, mutate, opposites reversed
They fall from the rungs to the gaping maw below
As sanity slips away, descend into shadow, beneath the rot
Return and turn to clay
In fire of fever you waste away
Stillness of the tomb
Lost rivers flow beyond the gloom
This world lumbers on in defiance of its nature
Invoke the end
Strike a nail through the heart of the future

When fumes engulf the night sky
And strange beasts roam the hillside - feral!
Through the glare of blazing dreams
In the streams of rapture! Enraptured!
An ugliness unfurled in the moonlight
Led through the valley of secret midnight - vile hands!
You journey through this hollow land
Enter the house of rapture! Enraptured!
Saviour with a halo of flies
Wretched hellscape arise
Hallowed fane, poisoned womb
Gloomy horrors of the tomb
The promise of a waiting world
Eternity lies beyond or below
As earth shifts - reverberates
The Gallows God decides our fate
Folly is an endless maze
Tangled roots perplex her ways
Diseased and doomed to fall
Death walks behind you down the hall
The Great Serpent slithers higher and higher
He who dwells in the flaming fire
In the shadow of the monolith
Chained in night, corrupted soul
Vivid colours shall turn negative
Stranger wonders you’ll behold
Funeral bells echo below
The alabaster tombs conceal an ancient dread
Earthly realms reversed, collapse
As chariots plow over the bones of the dead
Above the lofty peaks
Black leather wings unfurl
Born from the sleeping pit
The awful darkness inside the world
Alchemy, the fate of all things
Crowning rays of a coming dawn
Flagellate the martyred saints
Enraptured in their wake, by the tide
Transmogrified
Orpheus, Eurydice - Keepers of the flame
Theseus, Ariadne - Psyche’s coiled maze
Phlegethon, Acheron - Surge through the underland
Unearthed & unearthly - Communion with the damned
That the earth from sleep
Grave the sentence deep
Culverted starless rivers seep through rocks and ruins
Toward the sea of uncreation
From funeral pyres foul abominations rise
With tongue of fire and halo of dark matter
The seventh seal is shattered
