Ylem A spell to free all matter Folding time and gravity A universe to shatter Conjuring black holography Unraveling the ether Rending screeching molecules Severing the elements Ripping core from core Sorcery's caustic breath Fills the void between the spheres The archetypes are gathering At the other end of genesis Ylem Rise from oblivion Initiate the grand corrosion Ylem Awaken, demand omega The web constricts around quivering hearts Spectres swell From my hands I feel my mind vibrating Virulent black odic force Bleeding into every cell Ripe with mortality A breathless world is shaking A cosmic avalanche is waking All shall die Rise from oblivion Initiate the great corrosion Awaken, demand omega The atoms shall remember Scourge the moribund Initiate the great corrosion Consume me, primordial fire All atoms shall remember thee Engulf me Illuminate my flesh With sacred necrosis Ylem I summon thee From primeval chaos soar Devour this misguided spacetime From the earth From the heavens From the emptiness rise Ylem From the pores of trembling skin From the depths of every soul come forth From the darkness at the heart of everything Unraveling the maelstrom Bending screaming galaxies Severing the constellations Tearing matters shell 2. As The World Keels Over Awaken Dispel the dream of soul The swarm must have taken you Surrender Look around you The aeons are caving in Ghosts of longing fade The emptiness draws crimson dew Abandoned lie the heavens The aeons are caving in What happened? Deserted flesh, in havoc draped Pantheons clotted rusty residue Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The seams are caving in All is silent The razor's medium Behold surprisingly complete overcoming Only putrefaction Remains to tell the tale Of how the death never rose from their graves When, like choking flesh Embalmed by the reek of odium The last mouths have stopped flapping Then we must be through Man falls as the world keels over Sprayed into a sanguinary fog Count your blessings Time has crumbled The aeons are caving in A ceremony of subsiding penitence A silent epitaph for a fevered vacuum 3. Osiris From the shadows From the pit From the chasm I call to thee Exiled from Eden Left for dead A spurred phantasm In barren reverie Osiris Drowned in lies Betrayed by blood In scorned baptized I am one with you In vengeance and despair Redeem me from this torment This empty prayer These hateful blades Rusting inside of me For all the rape and anguish We suffer night by night This cruel mirage can only languish For all this plight is but illusion The veil shall be torn Lust shall resurrect us A god shall be born From beyond me shall bring retribution I adjure all pain Commit myself to heresy Quit waiting for the angels To come and make amends I hail all death Reject all tortured saints philosophy Every wretched living thing knows this must end 4. Silence Scorched by time and death And a bloated sun long since shriveled The waste lies cold before me God's creation ground to a shroud that stretches From horizon to horizon When all are dead And all is gone Not a breath stirs the air The faded moon finds only dust Crowded in the grip of a celestial wrath Forever drifting through infinite frozen void I exalt, alone at last Behold my kingdom From horizon to horizon When all are gone At last descends the silence Wide awake to receive this bliss Free of hate, free of pain, free of the need to escape Everflowing, everglowing abyss Drink my spirit, beget new shape For even ruins shall reminisce In powdered bone the lark of djinns and jinxes And from afar the story hiss And lucid moans of copulating sphinxes 5. Evenfall With the dawn Comes the loathing With the morning Comes the fall With the qualm Come the vermin Come to spawn From the sun they crawl With the night Dies the calm With revulsion Comes the spite With the light Come the lightmares Waking Moloch Comes with the fall Succumb With draw your soul from this fallacy This infamy is not for us With the night Comes deliverance Comes the spark That sets us alight With the dark Comes remembrance Comes the halo Comes the flight And the ground takes a fall Torn upon winds of witchery Resplendent wings unfold Reveling in lucid lechery We invoke what no eye can behold Azure, her gaping portal I blaze in ecstasy The goddess calls, immortal Shrugs off all treachery Stay down Wait for evenfall For the night to embrace us again Wait for evenfall Deep now Wait for evenfall For the abyss will set us free Wait for evenfall 6. Redivider An ash painted chamber where death has been A song of entrails strung upon a violin On the brow, blood and sperm, with bile thinned And sealed with the Hecate's nightshade kiss Five live cats, into a pentagram pinned To fuel their yowls, be they partly skinned A will to call the reaper to seal the abyss Where the half-eaten faces of coranthon grin And the deluge begins As a wail runs into course Defeat devours defiance Life congeals, unhallowed Stench billows Raped into compliance The strong force yields To the redivider Altars bleed their rotting sanctity Aborted selves convulse Retch momentity avulsed from bliss The walls give way To a trembling pandemonium Nightmares flood the dying soul's septic vision Decrepit screams, extraneous and obitual Gnosis through unbearability, psychosis by volition This is not a happy ritual Triumphantly Entropy parades its mandibles Tendons snap, bone rips from bone Atrocity transfigures overthrown humanity A scythed obscene apparition stands alone Praise the descending dark Praise limbo's dripping vulva Praise the perishing spark That takes with it eternal life Iginum imus nocte et canoumimus igni The acolytes shed blood devoutly Dying slowly where they kneel The figure reaches out His clutches grab an easy meal But as the fiend unvigilant, Turns to feed, the master draws Upon his chest a vigil and Invents death and the devil's laws Iginum imus nocte et canoumimus igni Vigna te, vigma temere me tangis et angis Forta faterno culto mulli claudaris lament Immare irate, in subata procella Invoco te, marstra occulta stella For when you Even death will die We spin around the night Consumed by the fire Cross thyself, you plague And vex me without need Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night In seas of wrath and sudden storms I invoke thee We spin around the night Consumed by the fire For when you should have danced Even death will die Even though consumed by fire We spin around the night 7. Satan Bled 8. Hirudineans Somewhere down the line Man created god in his image Inadequacy on a pedestal A basin for a lake of tears to drown in And here we go again Where there's blood there's hirudineans Crawling from every hole, blotting blindly A brainless mob on the prowl Sycophants cough their amen Follow the light at the end of the auricle Egos inflate as the bugs migrate Every blurp a revelation, an oracle Fall, fall, fall, like flies from the heavens The leeches slide from their slippy throne Suck, suck, suck, till we drown in their muck Still quetching away, splitting heads with their drone I will not waste my time I will not waste my anger Trying to find the head on a worm With a rectum on either end A lie in a frame is still a profanity A ghoul with a crown can never be king Even crap will succumb to vanity its own stench the measure of all things Fall, fall, fall, like drunks from a tight rope Nothing but a skidmark in history Suck, suck, suck, empty heads run amok Choking on self-digesting misery Eyes will open Only when the ass starts burning Atrophied tentacles start groping Always loping, never learning Deeper and deeper Into the swamp you sing with every word To rot on its bottom Until the stink heralds the next outpour of turds 9. Nemesis Thronged Herded as cattle, and so unsuspecting Yet volatile Blind and deluded you prattle Calling forth the demon Summon your king A horror on wings Primed for the slaughter Oh, how you toil While precious walls are breaking Your lies unspoiled Your souls mine for the taking And while you grope in the dark I will walk in your midst Poisoned sting at the ready And there will be no awakening Rise, minions From venom reborn Shed your innocence Let the massacre commence A simple ascent Luring in the hapless to turn on themselves Death in the air You fall Like raving fiends, you murder your own Humans will be humans When caught in my mare But the worst is yet to come As your mindless spree continues I prepare to deliver the master stroke Your gods, your progenies Your guardian angels unguarded As I approach the inner sanctum In treachery cloaked Unseeing offspring of sanctimonious bigotry Here is my gift to you My procreation in visceral blasphemy Receive my seed Slowly to incubate Deep gorging into oblivion As your doom is plunged into your flesh As they trickle down Drip, drip, drip, one by one A living, breathing feast awaits my spawn The longer you live The stronger they'll become inside you Ah, look at them writhe, my little ones And you will call me your god Begging me to deliverance from your sins And you won't even know Until they eat through your skin 10. The Valley Another promise broken Another falsehood thrown to the dogs Time and time again we swallow Our throats torn by the barbed fruit of iniquity On our knees we wither Starving on a hollow phantom Discarded playthings, we crave in vain For the benign almighty lie Fools that we are Even as our star goes under We cling to the noose that will break our necks To the benighted psalms of priests drunk with conceit Like in the valley of linnom Murdered by divinity Our grievance shades the mountains Our gifted souls became a pyre The day the heavens part God shall perish in our fire When the final perfidy Bleeds from the skies Our abject eyes will see the truth Death Death from above Forsaken lepers rot away Away 11. Wraith A specter writhes Too faint for mortal eyes A mere ululation A deathless witness Lurid in demise Spawned from pain and tribulation Unsound Undead Evanescing An orphaned want, marooned In disembodied mayhem, howling Just a shadow Waning with the moon Ever yearning, ever prowling Doomed to linger, a wraith in a withered world You will never sleep again Lifeless eyes, forever haunted by the void Gage upon the tomb of man Cold and dried up The ravaged plains lie dead Buried ruins sing of the end Faces fade away Frozen in convulsion In broken temples, gods quietly die And gales roam unrestrained Lick the horror from revulsion Beneath the weeping scars in the sky
