I walk with death Hand in hand A ravenous god of the night Shapeless like a nightmare That would lull you to sleep To feed on the essence of life. Now from a once mundane existence, do I ascend, To haunt the darkness like a wraith You're so like cattle, unsuspecting, ignorant. I quench my thirst upon your kind. A man no more, I transcend Mortality's waiting embrace Apex predation, My hunger is sated In a crimson delirium's grip Until the light returns to put us back to sleep, Until the dawn, we'll feast... By day I sleep... And I dream in shades of red Awaking with a hunger like I've known Now from a once mundane existence, do I ascend, To haunt the darkness like a wraith You're so like cattle, unsuspecting, ignorant. I quench my thirst upon your kind. I've been reborn. Though I'm damned, I've no longer a need for a soul Apex predation With infinite hatred I'll cull from your flock what I need Until the light returns to put us back to sleep, Until the dawn, we feast..

LIES! Tyranny! A thousand angels scream Your stoic savior, silent, perched upon his pole Tortured, butchered, Your sickly scarecrow god Shall be devoured for the glory of the goat. "Pray!" said the martyr, all the way to the end. But... no reprieve... Left to wonder.. "Do I have a plan B?" No? A god of mercy, the architect of hell, you say? The one who said "turn the other cheek"? A god who loves us, but won't so much as speak? LIES! Blasphemy! That's what your priests would say. They dare to speak as if they have moral authority, Seething, needing... For innocence defiled Gods chosen rapists sate their lust upon his precious young... Said the preacher, "You'll be saved in the end" But... Give him praise (and your money) salvation don't come free. Thou shalt not this, thou shalt not that...until we tell you to. The ones who lead you don't seem to be playing by your rules. Knowledge and truth, the greatest enemies of your faith... Oh morning star, Lord Lucifer, Wilt thou alight our way? Our way!

One thousand years, Our war has raged Across this earth Our pious enemies usurped It seems their belief had been misplaced, In a god that chose to never show his face I wonder if he heard their screams Our time has come, so it seems Ye wretched children, Come unto me And without guilt we'll satiate our needs We the unholy, Shall sow our seeds As we create a universe obscene Now swear your fealty to the night, see your oppressors cast aside, BROKEN and disgraced, in their graves And so shall rise our kingdom vile, as none thats ever come before, Our reign of urges now unfettered, Built upon the splinters of a cross Your false prophets fear these words, in vain. "Do as thou wilt" And it remains our only law. Seems that their faith has been misplaced. And their cult of guilt and fear has been erased. Those that remain can only scream "Our time has gone" ....so it seems Ye wretched children, Come unto me And without guilt we'll satiate our needs We the unholy, Shall sow our seeds As we create a universe obscene Now swear your fealty to the night, And you shall see your oppressors cast aside, BROKEN and disgraced, in their graves And so shall rise our kingdom vile, as none thats ever come before, Our reign of urges now unfettered, Built upon the splinters of a cross...

Here in this crypt, I'm happy as a pig in shit I'll never tire of my little graveyard games I dig my fingers into graveworm ridden flesh Rot softened skin gives way to the slightest touch I close my eyes I breathe the acrid stench I penetrate her parchment skin As maggots writhe upon my swollen sin I creep in again I need sweet release Oh, the ecstasy these necrotic pleasures bring And once they die, I push inside They'd say I'm sick If they knew of my predilection Id say they're right, but hey, I guess that's more for me. Congealing liquids pool around my filthy knees As I thrust into this rotten meat, foul object of my needs I close my eyes I breathe the acrid stench I penetrate her parchment skin As maggots writhe upon my swollen sin I creep in again I need sweet release Oh, the ecstasy these necrotic pleasures bring And once they die, I come alive Alive...

The Shroud 02:41
Undeath... They call it a curse... The short-sighted fools... I shall defile this mortal coil, else my knowledge be entombed... I've stolen eternity By my will alone I breathe Dead flesh contains my being Forevermore... I trudge through the centuries wielding my black incantations By vile necromancy I live once more... Returned... Undead... Beyond... The shroud of death I rise...once again, Thoroughly damned The tides of the ages shall bolster my power, Unrestricted by that inevitable hour Powers long forgotten, mine to command An insult to god, the inversion of man I trample the centuries a product of black conjurations By vile necromancy I live once more I am a wound in eternity Unholy experimentation In this foul phylactery My soul endures.... Returned... Undead... Beyond... The shroud of death I rise...once again, Thoroughly damned

Unending cascades of pain swallow souls in fiery waves. This place is real, and it awaits... Waits... Descending, ever downward. See what forever has in store. The screaming shall never cease. Damnation in misery. Created for our master and his foul angels black, by your god of mercy, in his love, infinite? To suffer in this black abyss... In torment you shall remain, repentance a bit too late. This place is real, and it awaits... It waits... Descending, ever downward. See what forever has in store. The screaming shall never cease. Damnation in misery. Abandon all hope now, all ye who enter here. You dwell now, eternal, in this foul kingdom of despair... To suffer in this black abyss...

Marionettes 02:52
What was once called living now is frozen still in time With lacquered flesh and staring eyes I craft these dolls of mine With focus now I break their bones and string them up with glee With movements of my hands now I shall make them dance for me They stare never blinking So still, rotting inside Until master calls them, To dance... Dance my painted puppets see them swaying to the sound Now they shall be forever mine No bodies to be found Dance my sick creations Your beauty on a string Now I've made you my masterpiece Of pure morbidity Depart ye wretched spirits, flee, for I've no need of your soul, to my delight I find thine eyes but hollow empty holes you though once imperfect, flawed in your mortality shall now make my collection one step closer to complete They stare never blinking So still, rotting inside Until master calls them, To dance... Dance my painted puppets see them swaying to the sound Now shall be forever mine No bodies to be found Dance my sick creations Your beauty on a string Now I've made you my masterpiece Of pure morbidity

Inside the circle, I speak the names I utter incantations vile,profane I call on the dark chaos crawling from beyond, The looming shadow on the stars the taint of corruption hangs heavy in the air Run to your priests now and pray to your Christ, But no God can save you from what is to come... Turn your attention to the skies... realities unravel before your eyes, darkening the heavens, with swarming flies I call down horrors... I call down horrors... The book is opened, the pact is made We beckon eldritch beings, vile, profane I call on the dark chaos crawling from beyond, The shadow looming on the stars the taint of corruption hangs heavy in the air Run to your priests now and pray to your Christ, But no God can save you from what is to come... Turn your attention to the skies... realities unravel before your eyes, darkening the heavens, with swarming flies I call down horrors... I call down horrors... Humanity undone Blackening the sun A twilight eternal The deal has been made And we will be their slaves But we shall exist... Turn your attention to the skies... realities unravel before your eyes, darkening the heavens, with swarming flies I call down horrors... I call down horrors...
