Stagnation

I wait for you in this accursed pit
In time I will see your purity's eclipse
Rid me of this shell cloaked in dirt excise these cysts from my rind
Remove this filth from my life.
Afflicted by the burden of dejection.
The gears of stagnation are slowly churning
As the last cinder fights to keep burning.
Breath in the ashes of the ruin left behind.
Deaths tendrils penetrate and degrade your sense of security the only thing left in its wake is a marvel of decay.
Rid me of this shell cloaked in dirt
Maggots burrow deeper through this hide
This filth will consume every shred of light
Afflicted by the burden of dejection
The wheels of stagnation are slowly churning.
As the last cinder fights to keep burning.
Breath in the ashes of the ruin you left behind.
Deaths tendrils penetrate and degrade your sense of security the only thing left in my
Wake is a marvel of decay
Drown in a deluge of apathy
Asphyxiate on bile and blood
Until your corpse is bloated
The ceremony has just begun
Rotting from stagnation.

The Abysmal Grip
03:32
|

|
Release me from this earth
The awakening has begun
Drink from our chalice forsaken son
Devouring the bitter pains of a broken yesterday
The eclipse beckons you forth.
The horizon is swallowed by the night
Basking in the receding light
Taken by the shadow of abhorrence
Waiting for deaths sweet caress
Eternities tapestry drapes your decaying face may it disintegrate
Into the flames.
Bury me in a nameless grave
May my identity shatter and fade away
Removing all my shame.
The horizon is swallowed by the night basking in the receding light
Taken by the shadow of abhorrence waiting for deaths sweet carress.
Eternities tapestry drapes my decaying face may it disintegrate
Into the flames.
I'm at the end of my rope
With this knife I offer up myself as a sacrifice
To appease the kings of eternal night
No feeble mortal we will not let you go
Even though your life has subsided
we still reside within you.
Your sorrow will be infinite
Go forth and die satiate our blood lust
You'll never escape the abysmal grip.

Underneath the cracked and weathered floorboards of this infested structure.
Hold a myriad of broken echoes time has misused and disowned.
Pain has stained the walls leaving a residue abuse.
Saturating each breathe with grief the pressure never ceases to ease.
This house is a haunted vessel its hull is host to shambling ghosts.
They refuse to let me go. I feel their grasp tightening. Digging their nails deeper into my skull.
My flesh is the conduit. They speak through me. These malicious entities.
Hidden away in the damp and darkened crawlspace where the neglected corpses lay. A pit emitting a stench so foul filling the air with decay.
The weight of misery is so foreboding it poisons every inch of this space with hate and dismay.
This house is a haunted vessel its hull is host to shambling ghosts.
They refuse to let me go. I feel their grasp tightening digger their nails deeper in my skull.
My flesh is the conduit. They speak through me. These malicious entities.
Oh no I see it. This disfigured spirit. The jaws of life closing. The closer it encroaches.
Never seek what secrets these walls keep. It won’t break its verboten hold until your helpless and alone. Never go and seek what lies beneath the deep.

Fervent Anguish
05:31
|

Be gone from this ravaged decrepit flesh. Vile unwanted guest
Flagitious seed. Unearthly vector of disease. Why do you insist upon subsisting off this marred and maimed psyche?
Breaching the barrier separating you from the living. Persistent sickness. Remorseless and malignant.
The door is opened. What you’ve evoked remains unspoken. Beware the souls of the unwanted. You’ll spoil in the darkness.
They wear our skin, but these are no longer men. They only long to bathe in your fervent anguish.
Forsaken the caress of daylight. To dwell in excess and sinful delights.
Cast aside your humanity only pain is to be received. Suffering for Invoking the spell of the most unclean.
Breaching the barrier. Separating you from the living. Persistent sickness remorseless and malignant. The door is opened. What you’ve evoked remains unspoken. Beware the souls of the unwanted. You’ll spoil in the darkness. They wear our skin, but these are no longer men. They only long to bathe in fervent anguish.
Tonight. They come alive. Permission is granted over our dominion
They wear or skin. But these are no longer men. They only long to bathe in your fervent anguish.
Suffer forever. Your Sorrow brings them pleasure. Suffer forever.

A Culling of Kings
03:28
|
|||
|
Conflict permeates the very air that we breathe
Overburden by the woe imprinted in eternity
I feel the presence of the abandoned among us
Their crying out for retribution
May they guide my blade to the throat of treachery
May the axe fall upon their necks
Bring me the heads of these wretched sycophants
May the dead rise from their graves
This is a call for a culling of kings.
We are men but treated as beasts
So we will stand at the gates with our teeth gnashing
We will dance tonight under the flames
We will feast upon the flesh of our kings
Conflict permeates the very air that we breath
Removing all civility.
Disobedience will set us free
Cull the kings.

Ritual of Heresy
05:20
|
|||
|
Embracing this gift of sin. Purified in the infernal fires of liberation.
Drifting between fragments of dreams. Horrors bleeding into reality.
Devouring endlessly. Transforming into a monstrosity.
Regret shackled me to a well overflowing with death and thoughts of despair
My path was stained with blood that obscured my path.
still I pushed forth with this ghost at my back.
Take me away from this place. I Beg please end this pain.
Tearing at my own flesh just to feel some ease.
Burying my guilt in sadomasochistic ecstasy.
Giving into the evil festering. Bending to this daemon I have kept suppressing.
Submitted to its nefarious will. Devoted to the depraved rites of this ritual.
Soul Disintegration. malevolent transmutation. Ive Taken the forsaken vow of blasphemy.
Regret had shackled me to a well overflowing with death and thoughts of despair my path was stained with blood that obscured my path still I pushed forth with this ghost at my back.
Take me away from this place. I beg please end this pain.
Tearing at my own flesh just to feel some ease.
On this eve I commit the ritual of heresy.
Pulled down by the weight of dread.
Take this skin burn it to ash
Cast it into the wind
This fragile form has no more purpose
I will begin my life again through death.
