Lamia

Beneath that angelic peel
lies a lewd minx
gazing into your gaze
with those sky blue eyes
Your soul screams
being ripped free
in severe agony
gripping life from thee
Spirit swirling over shattered dreams
soul rotting into debris
being stabbed furiously
bleeding hearts cease
scarred-chested you see
the face of death in felicity
gripping your life with frenzy
damning you for eternity
now you lay in this valley of desolation
your eyes drip crimson creeks
like a siren, hauling you into her habitation
and cleaves your spine, that inhuman beast

Nascency
03:50
|

As you take your last breath
red circles cover your eyes
slowly descending into the abyss
belial hovers over your head
welcoming you into his dwelling
A Goat's head hanging from the ceiling
Rivers of blood flowing beside you
A Brittle Bone bridge plotted infront of you
you get this weird feeling
Serpants dig deep into your skin
Inoculating you with toxic fluids
Deformed bodies with their heads in their hands
chewing their tongues, swallowing their nails
gathering around you, hollering "Welcome Home"
Into the cove you march
Hair slips from your head
eyeballs twirl into the back of your mind
skin slowly flakes away from your bones
six six six (666) engraved into your scalp
As you become Lucifer's Child.
Serpants dig deep into your skin
Inoculating you with toxic fluids
Deformed bodies with their heads in their hands
chewing their tongues, swallowing their nails
gathering around you, hollering "Welcome Home"

Apocalypse
04:00
|
|
||
Dragging your blistered-swollen feet
the blaze punctures your eyes
your flesh grips flare
black carbon emerges from your lungs
as the sun touches the dust
in the shadow of a million suns
making haste towards the shade
you realise its all in vain
giving it everything you can
failure lurks amongst us
The earth roasts red
Mountains bleed boulders
Trees drop dead
the world is on your shoulders
as the stars slap the turf
bewildered and confused you stand
as the hand of god strikes the land
The hour has come to lament
To drain your soul from guilt
you see the angels descend
gathering around the lord, they bend
The earth roasts red
Mountains bleed boulders
Trees drop dead
the world is on your shoulders
as the stars slap the turf

Purgatory
04:30
|
|
||
You arise from your dream
your palms hammered to the walls
you hear their squeals
you see them hanged from their balls
broad chains run from your heels
your eyelids nailed to your eyebrows
helplessly standing on the boiling field
anxiously awaiting your destiny
like rats, imprisoned into cages
becoming weak, exposed to lurking sickness
voices inside your head whispering senseless
poisoning your brain, driving you insane
barbwire covered bodies
scattered on the ground
between scylla and charybdis
you hold without a sound
fear fills the void
shivering currents roll
Just like the story
that has been foretold
like rats, imprisoned into cages
becoming weak, exposed to lurking sickness
voices inside your head whispering senseless
poisoning your brain, driving you insane

Martyring Of An Angel
04:36
|
|
||
Out of the twilight she rises
carrier of sin awaiting her demise
begging for mercy
with blood on her hands
white wings turn black
being ripped from her back
tears of blood
race down her grimace
her cold body stripped to the glitter
clenched fists anchored to pillars
showers of fire
sear her dermis
keen blades penetrate her flesh
puncturing her lungs, the organs shed
terrorised, the others stand with hubris
watch her life detach from (her) corpse
high on the altar, left to decompose
an ultimate example for her species
keen blades penetrate her flesh
puncturing her lungs, the organs shed
terrorised, the others stand with hubris

Death Of The Sun
05:38
|
|||
the heart of life
slowly fades away
giving birth to death
across the galaxy
engulfing night eclipsing day
swallowing earth inconsistently
concluding an era
leaving us in misery
shivering cold is cast upon us
oceans and seas freeze to land
and now the gods have failed us
we don't really understand
hope is slipped from our hands
burrowing crypts for ourselves
inevitable oblivion
something we can't withstand
luminous moon turns opaque
gently blends into shady sky
driving the universe black
we ask ourselves why
the heart of life
slowly fades away
giving birth to death
across the galaxy
engulfing night eclipsing day
swallowing earth inconsistently
concluding an era
leaving us in misery

an angel once of great might
no longer resides in the light
for commanded was he by divinity
to bow to adam, like the prophecy
with hubris welded in his core
denying orders of the lord
turning his back on them all
without resembling any fear at all
lord of fire hear my cry
for this is my last good bye
condemned me to this bottomless mine
and damned for eternity am i
of smokeless fire i abide
to poison the hearts of mankind
amid the end of time
for vengeance will be mine
my white wings turned to black
as gradually i fell
descending into this abyss
now in darkness i dwell
for centuries i reside beneath
my powers swell
for that is how i became
the emperor of hell
lord of fire hear my cry
for this is my last good bye
condemned me to this bottomless mine
and damned for eternity am i
of smokeless fire i abide
to poison the hearts of mankind
amid the end of time
for vengeance will be mine

Birthing Of A Bastard
04:58
|
|
||
Radiant moon surfaces shady skies
Kindling the horizon where wickedness thrives
The mongrel is crowning towards his demise
conceived into this filthy sphere of lies
Feeding from a bosom full of filth
in the arms of a wretch so vile
wrapped and ready for relinquishment
on the church's doorstep so anile
tears of remorse trickle from her eye
parting with her heart and saying goodbye
pinch of anguish rushes down her spine
abandoning her shrouded divine
In the house of god, the bastard remains
unaware of the sinner, Lucifer's slave
worshipping the one who mother betrays
Becomes closer to god does the knave
Ironic as it may seem to be
The way of the lord is kind to thee
reaping what she sow, the mother weeps
regretful and ashamed, craving for mercy
tears of remorse trickle from her eye
parting with her heart and saying goodbye
pinch of anguish rushes down her spine
abandoning her shrouded divine
