Prolific Destitution

Iron brought a new age
Convicted of living by kin
They slither they beg for status from fear
From lack of knowing
Their eyes they strain to see that which becomes them
And as they transform proliferation
Iron wrought a new age convicted of living by kin
The cunning man who looks into the eyes of perdition
To sell his own soul to reap no reward
The crazed man who looks into the eyes of his reflection
Reveals a rotting core fallen
For the entity, I would do anything
Slit my mothers throat burning the effigy
For the entity I would do anything
Slit my children's throats burning my soul
Fuck you corporate scum fuck you seller of man
The cunning man who looks into the eyes of perdition
To sell his own soul to reap no reward
The crazed man who looks into the eyes of his reflection
Reveals a rotting core fallen
For the entity, I would do anything
Slit my mothers throat burning the effigy
For the entity I would do anything
Slit my children's throats burning my soul
Fuck you corporate scum fuck you seller of man
Bound by ignorance flayed by greed

Discordian Epitaph

Rain down wrath and furious flame
Burn the church and start again
Rain down wrath and furies flame
Burn the church and start again
Growing aging spawning endless
Burrowing into the holy mans ashes
Feeding the brainworm bits and remnants of character
Numbing inherent human need for the new god
What satisfies lust endless
We shall see ourselves in ashes
Take away mans ability to thrive
Give him faith controlled by the master
Watch him kill to elevate himself
And oppress his equal
Slaves worshipping the golden towers
Bowing down before the fabrication
Defiling the ancient wisdom bestowed
Slaves worshipping emboldened liars
Bowing down before the degradation
Defiling the ancient knowledge bestowed
We fall upon the crumbling alters
Bleeding out onto the devastation
Defiling the ancient wisdom bestowed
We call upon the gods of chaos
Bearing witness to the revelation
Defiling the ancient knowledge bestowed
What satisfies lust endless
We shall see ourselves in ashes
Breeding the mindless
Wrought the preacher of prosperity
Numbing inherent human need for the new god
Growing aging spawning endless
Burrowing into the holy mans ashes
You light the match I'll prep the tinder
To watch it fold into the earth
We'll light the match and prep the tinder
And watch it fold into the earth

Bloodletting

On alter dementia we sharpen the blade
To rip and to shred the sun to reave and to retch
By command of the fallen we must spill the blood
To rip and to shred the sun, To reave and to retch
By cloaken midnight led donning a rusted dagger
Moaning creatures breath and stir in the blackness
On alter dementia we sharpen the blade
To rip and to shred the sun to reave and to retch
By command of the fallen we will spill the blood
To rip and to shred the sun to reave and to retch
Awaken Prophecy encroaching
Awakened prophecy it has begun
Hail Gaia celestial birth
Kneeling on the cold ground my head between my arms
The goblet raised above me metamorphosis
Devouring your energy feeding upon your spirit
Dying to drain your husk metamorphosis
Hail Gaia celestial birth
In Breeze filled midnight air the hooded fiend
Cuts flays enters
Bloodletting

War of the Burning Sands
06:35
|

|
Over and over this brood of waste buried in sand blind
Return war return fear reveal hell denied prayers
Their towers they fall their will it breaks
Our might grows strong as we bathe in their blood
Return war return fear reveal hell denied prayers
The crimson plain and winds of death
Return war return fear reveal hell denied Prayers
Their towers they fall their will it breaks
Our might grows strong as we bathe in their blood
Burning the bodies the stench fills the air
Carcasses eaten we dine on the spoils of war
Burning the bodies the stench fills the air

Deathrite Shaman
07:30

See god is dead and we killed it for our sacrament
When god is dead we secede into the will of man
Self reliance ground in fortitude
but we need each other more than we need the moon
Cosmic chaos so close and yet so far
We need each other more than we need the stars
Love is dead and we killed it for our sacrament
When love is dead we retreat into the minds of men
Now we’re all dead suicide for our sacrament
When we’re all dead we’ll receive deserved punishment
Digging the grave dirt covering heads and mouths of the betrayal
Frost upon limbs of mighty trees towering
Frost upon my lone heart one that speaks unto the ancients
Spilling the blood probing the ether deathrite shaman in exile
Praying the way to abominations unseen
Summoning annihilator
Spreading the plague
Knowing that our time has come
Deathrite Shaman in exile

Fated Ascendance

Oh father who am I why am I to be part of thy kingdom
In darkest reaches and coiling hours
As I wither homeward
Oh mother why was I birthed how am I to remain
part of thy kingdom
Oh father who am I why am I to be part of thy kingdom
In darkest reaches and coiling hours
As I wither homeward
As it is above may it be below
extinguishing my pathways fallen at the gates
As it is above may it be below
In the dirt in the earth
Night falls upon my devoured soul
Attained in deepest dreams my will to breech my existence
Liar deceiver I shall remain part of thy kingdom
My freedom I have found I am immortal
I have cheated death I have cheated death
I have cheated I have cheated nothing
