Baptized in sacred waters of meaning
Purpose bestowed upon angelic wings
Shining rays of the heavens caress my soul
Carry me down hallowed halls in ecstasy
Destined for lands where time never ends
Shall I transcend the gates?
Idle amidst barren profane soil
A gauntlet of my faith
Heavens loom foreboding and silent
Are my prayers in vain?
Impurity courses through my veins
Human weakness shall forever fail to obey thy commands
Thrust unto perdition's grasp
Tormented unto what end?
In this fatalistic game we are created
And subject to eternal agony in vain
Torturing children preordained
To feast upon sin in lands profane
Banish us from all light
The naive souls, born only to suffer the serpent’s bite
In their undoing does thy heart delight?
Of a pure spirit this earth shall blight
Tyrant of the aether
The perfection thou seek to obey thy commands
This feeble race cannot withstand
Our hopes are nothing but severed strands...of fate
Empty are these impious days as all before
Scrying on the crepuscular fringe of a dying faith
Vanity’s black smoke enshrouds divinity in irreverence
Forsaken, I crawl into the abyss of apostasy

Chambers of the Deceived
05:49
|

How faint, the beams of luminance which pierce the retinas
Permeating this cold sanctuary of ruminations
Bloodshot eyes gaze into the void beneath the stone
Transcending the barricade of physicality
The darkness encompasses as an omnipresent mirror
Afflictions of visions cascade through this warped mind
Tendrils of thought convulse, entwined psychosis
Existential bane rooted in the chambers of the deceived
How the frigid fingers of lament wrap around the skull
Imparting an aura of futility upon this cage of flesh
How the winds howl through resilient folds of earth
Buffeting unfeeling skin as consciousness is consumed
Writhing serpentine mind
Poisoned inner corridors
Fangs of ageless impiety
Drip venom of deliverance
Banish the liberator
Shed the living flesh
Hark not to the earth
Shed the living flesh
As thy ego hangs from the gallows
Shed the living flesh
Behold the cosmic gateway
Triumph over death
All senses retract into an eclipse of oblivion
Trembling subsides in the stasis of rapture
Catatonic limbo beneath malodorous guise
Of enlightenment, forthwith devouring
Grime and blood pressed against moss-covered stone
Wasting away in a trance wrought from devotion
The elements shall peel away this flesh
My thoughts seamlessly meld into the soil

Tendrils of the Blind
06:22
|
|||
|
Languid choirs chant faint murmurs in the void
Blind tendrils uphold chambers of deceit
Within these mental caverns, an aggregate devout
Asphyxiates in maddening drones of piety
Confined within these walls, art thou mind not as but a shrine to his holy will?
Servus sanctum!
Infectious holy entity breathes through the mouth of clairvoyance
Worthless bodies dismantled in vain to taste eternity
A spiritual dagger pressed against the throat
Bleeding forth terror of maleficent plains
Languishing in the seduction of transcendence
Awaiting in morbid elation, a fated judgement
A cripple’s shield is raised, a wingless bird straining towards the heavens
Neglected subjugation, ethereal temptation
Ordained in dementia
Hallowed be the servant
Eternal in his glory
Praised be the strings

Entranced in lunar skies
Amidst shadows encroaching
Spires caressed with flame
Nebulous yet approaching
Arrival, bloodstained temple stone
Vanquished, all that I’ve known
Desecrated, is God’s domain
Powerless, shalt his voice remain? No!
Carven saints grimace upon battered portal gates
Shards of shattered glass, a stained Christ awaits
Charred symbols of my faith, in silent descent
Unto this heinous ruin, how doth my lord consent?
Crumble to the ground, before a god dethroned
Flames lick my robes, vale of tears I’ve disowned
Guide me my Lord, beyond the shining gateway
Hungry are the flames, I am the entrée
