Death's Head
05:38
|

Reverence the glowering fleshless visage
Scoured white as moonlight
By winds that shriek across chasmic vastness
Bone reflecting light from the other side
Risus sardonicus grinning from the abyss
Orbits vacant yet overflowing with darkness
Defleshed but corporeal, called across unfathomable distance
To appear and trace a dance most macabre
Ossuary lord before whom all must kneel
Femoral scepter, the symbol of thy power
Crowned with a halo of decaying flesh
Thy dominion is everlasting
A shadow cast by the flame of life
A hand reaching out to extinguish the stars
A lord before whom all must kneel

Gloaming
06:00
|
|||
|
Motes of ice swarm across the face of the swollen moon
Wind howls through bare branches
A solitary silhouette framed against the sylvan expanse rears its head in depiction of agony
Invoking ancient rites, the names of deities long dead cross bleeding lips
Within a circle of blood, a lonesome wail is borne upon the frigid wind
From out the endless glacial waste, a mockery of creation strides in blasphemy
Under funereal skies death is born anew
Beneath the bloated face of mother Luna I am transformed
Wolven hunger
Human no longer

Our brotherhood is in and of the dusk
From vast heights we call for the death of the sun
We call the serpent decapitated to descend upon us
And castigate the solar body with moonlight flails
Let the blood of stars drip in exquisite rubies
Let the dome of the heavens shatter
And through the aether let ebon night flow
Inescapable dominion of anti-light
From vast heights we call for the death of the sun

Sealed Sepulchral Vaults
02:41
|
|||
5. |
||||
|
Esoteric whispers from sealed sepulchral vaults
Corpse voice speaking through moldering iron gates
Beckoned deathward, deeper, higher
By black seductive words of luminous grandeur
Cracked and bloodless tongues speaking Death’s Truth
|

Smothering Gloom
04:31
|
|||
|
Perched upon ancient mountain ridge
Lonesome castle, illumined by the moon’s rays
A great skull balanced atop a withering skeleton
Destitute its surroundings, bleak its visage
Those within, enclosed in cadaverous bosom
All without, receding in decay
Its denouement - utter ruin
Its apotheosis - destruction
In a lighting flash of transformation
It slides, slides into the tarn beneath
Falls, falls into the darkness below
A predestined demise, a smothering gloom

Death Comes Ripping
01:50
|
|||
|
Turn the lights down low
And close the door, oh
Future is coming
Future rising up
Shotgun blast, a demon piece of lead
With both eyes open
I wait up for the kill
Feel the evil
Feel the heat as I blast you open
Death comes ripping
And it’s going, death comes ripping
You feel the heat as death comes ripping
Rip your back out
And death comes ripping out
Flesh and blood
Too weak for you
Turning it over
A little too late to penetrate
Death comes ripping
And it’s going, death comes ripping
You feel the heat as death comes ripping
You rip your back out
Death comes ripping
And it’s going, death comes ripping
You feel the heat as death comes ripping
Rip your back out
Death comes ripping
And I know that death comes ripping out

The Oracle Falls Silent
05:59
|
|||
|
With bent knee at the seat of prophecy
We proffer up burnt offerings
Skin, bone, and living flesh rise to heaven as a sacred smoke
Transmutation of the body into flame and air
To see what may be divined in its drifting course
Sacrificial screams entreat the oracle
Begging the Beyond for knowledge of destined death
Beneath an alabaster colonnade
Whispers of the preordained slither
Chilling the hearts of once brave supplicants
Black serpents on walls and ceilings
Bearing knowledge unwelcome
Silencing the oracle’s corpse voice
