Peaks
04:17

winds howl below the summit
the chill within the skin precedes the ramparts collapsing
lungs burn, senses failing
is what propels you on a drive, or a need, or fear?
run
run through the open fields
run for your life
before the lines are breached
you've seen the scores of dead piled high
a totem raised to ruin
bloodbath at first light
(hell yawns)
the ambience of flies
the imperceptible percussion of decay
beats like war drums
like the hell that closes on your heels
burn
burn them from the fields
drive them from the peaks
or they'll see you snuffed out
{chorus}
the mountain casts a small shadow
but shade beneath it you must
and burrow down into the dirt
cocooned and foetal
but are you deep enough to be out of danger?
*******
once you fought tooth and nail to get out from under
but now the only way is down
bone golem, entombed in dirt kingdom
numb to the bone
but you must claw, you must dig to get under
atone
assimilation forever
rest, deeper in shades
rise, the horror will follow
{chorus}
the mountain casts a small shadow
but shade beneath it you must
and bury down into the dirt
cocooned and foetal
but are you deep enough to be out of danger?
*******
down into the black earth
dig down into the black earth

Blind Leading ...
03:52
|
|||
|
blind the watcher
bite the hand that feeds
tear through the citadel
a crimson harvest you reap
nihilistic beacon staining the cloth
while the only thing that burns is your world
distress
{chorus}
let's just kill them all
let them rot where they fall
let the bugs crawl inside the mouths
you think it's real but it's all in your mind
through tears of anger
you stoke the flames but your fire's gone out
and as you stand, you wonder if the bugs that crawl don't crawl in your mind
*******
hindsight is fractured like stained glass windows to your shattered core
can't tell what's blackened more your heart or your soul
reveling in the void
catastrophe
your misery and shame are manning the oars
distress, for you
{chorus}
*******
this time
make sure none survive
cut your own throat and join the rest on the pile
leave none alive, isn't it this for which you strive?
you speak of judgement
but it's all in your mind
rot...
{chorus}
so now you've killed them all
to usher the fall
but you understand
it's all in your mind

Altar
03:23
|
|||
|
on this altar
in your crippled hands
broken fingers cradle an offering
your palms bear the marks of the damned
head turned skywards
ash enters your mouth
it's bitter and burns
the taste of life has soured and burns
{chorus}
bruised
blessed
from bones to ash
aeons carved into the stone
sacrifice of all you've known
*******
eyes open wide on the altar
smile carved on your face
can't see the sky
blades rising
carve through ages
{chorus}
bruised
blessed
from bones to ash
aeons carved into the stone
sacrifice of all you've known
bruised
blessed
from bones to ash
palm to palm
pierce the heart
seal the sands within
carve your name into the stone
sacrifice is all you know
*******
eyes open wide
bone strung from the trees
limbs circle the altar
life fades away
sanguine cistern
life fades

Buried in Light
05:25
|

|
~~~~~~~
beside me
bedlam stationed
surrounds me
graves overflow
~~~~~~~
lights
light disappears but the grey remains
out from the cracks
blankets the sprawl
last rites
last light you saw
speaking in tongues with your last breath
~~~~~~~
our downfall
as fear takes control
wanderers labour
be all/end all
is this not what you wanted?
a fear of control
eyes can't look haunted if sockets are hollow
~~~~~~~
the caskets open
the hunted turn
and from this city the wretched churn
naked in this dead space
a space bereft of light
blissfull, self destructive hues
~~~~~~~
prostrate at the feet of the lord of unlight
smiles, his tusk are cruel and magnificent to behold
his radiance a black pit, endless and seemingly breathing
this dread monarch speaks through your tongue
~~~~~~~
fault lines
immaculate flaws
crumbling foundations
cave in
slabs flow
so here's what you wanted
the light smothers all
hope shall pass
as now breaks the dawn
~~~~~~~
betide them
their fate outshone
those grim tusks tear us from our thrones

Raised By Wolves
05:42
|
|||
|
gaze through another's eyes
tread grace and nullify
wade through the phantoms
kneel in the shallows
is it inside, does it bare its teeth?
spits fire when you turn the other cheek
now at a crossroads: the fist or the shade
in perpetuity, weather seas of...
{chorus}
dreams
dreams of one's decay
dreams of phantoms
keeping the dogs at bay
thorns that sleep never rested
only i wake in the nite
following screams back home
*******
now we shall see in the darkness
tongue over teeth
no clean lines on the frayed horizon
see
embrace it
the call and the quake
~~~~~~~
moonlight and sovereignty
bares tooth and buries me
deep down in the shallows
to hold it inside is to bless the marrow
to make the mire a womb, serene amongst the sediment
disregard sun bleached and barren shores
in awe, the dreamer dies
weaves dissent and...
{chorus}
*******
hand over mouth
~~~~~~~
the dreamer is over
but as the dreamer reaches
recoils in fear
life decays
self decay
consume
swallowed whole
life decays

Pyre
04:09
|
|||
|
rest, stay
turn this page
whisper rains down
feeling frantic
in doubt
succumbing to the dread
no tears will be shed
when everything is dried up and drained
so now hold your breath until the end
until the days strip it down and leave you for dead
blood spilled
battling uphill
to leave paradise a slaugherhouse
(corruption feeds)
{chorus}
i'll keep the skies lit for when you crawl out of the abyss
i'll keep these fires lit for when you reach the bottom
i'll raise you up on a pyre when you fall down
********
(corruption grows)
how the skies fall
twists me into the ground
while from chasms you climb
subterfuge
this dying memory of rapture
a recollection of a life that has never known pain
a lifetime you've never lived
and now a death worth nothing more than the words you'll never hear in the grave
(corruption blooms)
{chorus}
*******
seeds sown from the malicious hand
spring malintent, eager and unbound
forces the beaten back down
