Stygian Whispers
04:12
|
|
||
Convulsing in death throes
Psychic fragmentation and decay
A soul torn asunder, ripped from its womb
Restless cries in agony
Cursed and broken
A withered ghost
Is gripped by the hand
Of a profane wind
Stygian whispers
Iniquitous prophecies
Farsight from beyond the Timeless
Glimpses of truth from the Ageless
Bestowed with ancient wisdom and fire
Given power and purpose through darkness
Renewed and arisen
A spectral force
Is called by the voice
Of a profane wind
Stygian whispers
Iniquitous prophecies

Ia!
Ia!
Vomited forth from the lifeless
Sea of black space, consumed
Coronal mass ejection
Gamma ray burst, beyond
Disgorged
Erased
Confined
Encased
A Shade from a darkly past
Gifted with new life, returns
Screaming from the dead zone
Parallax space-time, warp
Disgorged
Erased
Confined
Encased
Swallowed in ectoplasmic slime
Phantasmagoric corruption inside
Afflicted with maddening psychosis
Granted eyes to see, within
Twisted by the touch of emptiness
Between the frozen stars of X
Disgorged
Erased
Confined
Encased

Umbral Altar
06:27
|
|
||
Unbroken dusk
Obscures a mist veiled apparition
Kneel before
The shrine of unfettered shadows
Prostrate thyself beneath the idol (enthralled)
Obeisant to unseen gnosis (spellbound)
Enchanted lust
Bewitched by the weaving legs of the Spider
Concealed door
Revealed through the blazing eyes of a dead god
Entrapping webs
The anchor between one world and the next
Lattice of lies
Body, mind and spirit; light, space and time
Prostrate thyself beneath the idol (enthralled)
Obeisant to unseen gnosis (spellbound)
Avatar of pain, altar of desire
Lightless transcendence, bathed in ebon fire
Champion of death, sanctum in nightfall
Reborn with breath, fevre dreams exalt

Dread infested
Hostile phantasm
Piercing gaze
Stabbing stare
Terrors in the dark
Yawning void-chasm

Painted deception--blood rite sacrifice
A maze of anguish; a scrying device
Torn from perdition
Thrown into violence
The crawling chaos
Behind a tortured mind
Eruption from depths unbound
Metaphysical phobia
Adversarial upheaval
Chaos/Order inverse counterbalance
Hyperbatic reversal
Mechanistic survival

Piercing gaze
Stabbing stare
Terrors in the dark
Yawning void-chasm
Drilling brains
Discovering fear
Fathomless serpentine abyssal vaults
Pulsing with primal xeno-psychic energy
Descend infinite spirals
Trapped in liquid mercury
A hideous fiendish visage
Emerges from boiling silver
Formation by the fusion
Constrained souls in the hive
Eldritch chaotic synthesis

Aphotic Abnegation
08:08
|
|
||
Bathed in tenebrous, lightless aether
Dismal field of doubt and obscurity
Saturation in sunless desolation
Lifeless husks bound to the weaver's web
Self-extracting soul, vacant I
Oath of mind erasure, ego death
Cryptic mysticism, dawn of renewal
Esoteric oath bound by blood
Overwhelming darkness, barren field of dreams
Enigmatic transmigration purging of the skin
Sacramental oblations in the name of the Spider
Spirit severed from the strands of the spiral
Bathed in tenebrous, lightless aether
Hidden space of empty promises
Saturation in sunless desolation
Hollow shell, aphotic abnegation

The Ghost:
I kneel before you on this ashen ground
Consecrated and barren as the essence of my being
Pale starlight flickers in the firmament
Between the opalescent glass moons of X
The Void:
Debased noctambulance and pernicious insomnia
Within the darkest corners of your toxic soul
Ushers in this grand moment of sombre truth;
A castigation for the sin of self ignorance
The Ghost:
Chained to a monolithic obelisk of obliteration
I surrender my anima in totality
Shedding the skin and dissolving the soul
Consigned to die beneath ghastly sunless skies
The Spider:
Before the shell is desiccated and drained
I shall drink my fill and slake my thirst
Your cursed heart is pierced without reprieve
Ensnared in the strands that I spin and weave
The Void:
This one belongs to the space betwixt the stars
Retreat, vile beast of the sprawling demonwebs
The architects of annihilation emerge to seize their claim
To sever the silver cord from this world and the next
The Spider:
I am the oracle of lies, the dark spiral spinner
No prey escapes my eternal vampiric grasp
Bound by metaphysical chains and confined in blood
The infinite threads of creation all return to me
The Ghost:
These hollow haunting tones
Ringing from deathly bells
Enraptured by the quintessence
Of existential obsolescence
Yet torn between two realms
Desolate void/crystal web
I remain forever shackled in time
to the zenith of uncreation
