Ashes
09:06
|
|||
A breach beyond the cloak of midnight
A solitary sun
A chaos in a halo
A void consuming light and dark
A mind enraptured in the solitude
A memory of pain
Fading into entropy
Awash upon the shores like rain
The swirling heart of memory
Is an open wound
And I beneath the stars
Here in my open tomb remain
The flowers wilt
And scatter over my grave
As the sun of midnight fades away again
My petition calls the world forth to the dawn
I cut away the bandage and the cloth
In a memory beholden to the clots
A witness to the end
Awakened sleep
Yet still I dream
Awakened sleep
Yet still I breath
What lies beyond
What lifts our strength to the sun
Recollect
What lies beyond
What brings us up from the mud
Recollect

Solar Avarice
05:12
|
|||
The solar avarice, the fallen god
To stoke the fire pits, to face the Lord
My soul is sick of it, the death of words
This be a chrysalis, this be a scourge
Lightless fall through a pit of swords
The fire inside a burning forge
The severed chains, the tolling bell
A throne to seat the lord of Hell
Transformation into force
Forests burned and iron scorched

Inscriptions
04:26
|
|||
A spear of light to span the break
A searing edge, serrated, the lightest touch draws blood
A notch in time
Liminal, and void beyond
My holy scaffold
Inscriptions in the flesh of sky
I reach beyond the pattern
Falling deep
Inscriptions in the icy dark
I reach beyond my vision
Inscriptions in the welts of time
I build a thousand bridges
to the sun
Peripheral shadows at the breach
I invoke the trenchant solitude
The limit impressed upon my eyes
Nightmare, madness, laughter at the glare
This transformation
Soul deforms and shatters bone
Forbidden pleasures
I subsume the far beyond

Umbrae vulneris
07:15
|
|||
Tenebrous bleak form
The shadows of the mind
Inveterate as chaos storm
Illumined threads unwined
A bleak feast of bones and dust
The serpent's tail consumed
An open door, a window shut
A house of broken looms
The empty spaces call the eyes
The phosphenes thick within like flies

Severed Wings
07:34
|
|||
Rabid the faithless elect, chosen of God, heart of the flame
Soldiers of emptiness flee from the light, enter the blaze
Empty of thought, empty of promise, empty of name
Empty of knowledge, formless and shapeless, offering praise
An offering of flesh to a worthless god
Savage and rapt, ravaging teeth
Knowledge for blood, severed unclean
An idol under Aaron's rod
Gathering up, clamoring down
Crosses erect, dissidents drowned
Propagation, this flight of severed wings
Veneration of whom the angels sing
Devastation; this blight to them we bring
(Your temple below calls the soul into splendor)
Nucleation; renew the final things
(Your venomous heart bleeds a poison horrendous)
Flesh is the weapon, soul is the spark
Tenebrous trembling, bestial mark
Flesh is the holy, soul is the lame
Venomous worship, truth is disclaimed
Twelve black hearts in the temple of God
Gathering up with centripetal force
Twelve black lanterns hung in the morgue
Never to hallow always to mourn
The dust a last remnant of the holy places within our minds and hearts, we rebuild, towering scaffolds hung with skulls and viscera, their shadows sprawl in perverse shapes, grotesque and pungent, trembling at the peal of the bells, ringing to the depths, calling the world to evil.
Rest assured that you yet remain of some worth to them. Put your back into it and bend your knees for the copper.
And when the last light is finally gone, we tread on ice towards God, hoping to revive what's lost.
