A newborn cries out in anguish!
With feverish spasms he tries to withdraw himself
back within himself
Unable to grasp the cruelty of his creators
He bows down his head and begins...
His pilgrimage of misery
A lonely via dolorosa
Paved with pages
Torn out from the book of life
No oasis in sight to still your stagnation
But slow motion decay
On this road to perditon
You are accompanied by...
Oathbreakers, charlatans and liars
Murderers, rapists and thieves
Harlots, gluttons and sodomites
Tell me child
Do you feel the cold grip of death?
Reaching out for your spine, ready to break it on a whim
And all the sacred trees have been uprooted
Still your blood and spirit still crave
That state beyond maimed bodies and crushed wills
Which separates mere beasts from men
And elevates men to gods

Beasts of Eden
03:33
|

We charged forth from Edens bosom
Like rapid hounds, ravenous and wild
With a new sun rising behind us...
We set out to wage war against ourselves
To enslave the globe and to conquer the stars
Bending the cosmic laws beneath our will
And for a moment the gods became flesh
Slowly turning into a morbid parody of themselves
Truly the meek shall enherit the earth
Let them have the ruins and be buried therein
With an old sun setting before them
This burden would be too heavy
Even for Atlas to carry

Savage Dreams

Oh what horror to wake from such savage dream
My fingers still clutched around my brothers throat
Our bodies stained with dirt, blood and excrements
I can still hear our senseless howls linger
On the cavern walls
It was the screeching sound of your fall
That pulled me from slumber
I watched you plunder across the firmament
Burning and brilliant
O most flawless star
Surely the fires which burnt your wings
Will set the world aflame.
Tell me Heosphorus
What was your transgression?
Your crime...
Why were thou cast down from your lofty heights?
To crawl as beast among beasts
In this profane mud
Oh what horror to wake from such tranquil sleep
A searing pain running across my back
My immaculate skin, stained with dirt, blood and excrements
Woe, how rapid and sickening the descent from grace was!

Nyght is Nigh
05:15
|

Is this where the gods come to die?
Where all colours cease to exist
Where there's no air to breath
And no sound can be heard
But a static crackling of entropy
Above a desert of titan bones
Bleached by rays of a lifeless sun
And among the remains
Pale and shivering wretches search
For a meaning
In attempt to fill their inner void
Trying to hide their ugliness with grotesque postures
And self-righteous pride
So bare witness, as your knees break beneath you!
The gore soaked cogs turn
A frenzied finale to the end dance
The nyght is nigh
And we all must pass into it.

Thrice Fallen
05:42
|
|||
A sudden flood of lead.
A wound torn ex nihilo.
In the emptiness luminous ashes fall
Like white phosphorus
Over heavy, sterile water
And like a trail of blood the spirit crept across the filthy cosmic floor
Slowly dripping to this sewers of misery...
As the foremother laid bare
The seed of Adam ran from Her labia onto the dusty ground
And the father proclaimed in defeat:
" All who pass through this gate... Abandon hope".
In this valley behind the back of god
Where shadows grow larger by the moment
Only to hang upon the face of earth
Like a funeral veil
In this valley behind the back of god
Where shadows grow larger by the moment
The Devil tends to His flowers
And we bloom
Flesh swollen with carnal ecstasies and lust
The son stumbled on
And the solarfire within His eyes began to fade.
Reduced to barren vessels full of scorn
To mules riden by impotent impulses
Look upon your visage, weep and despair!
