COVENANT 1998
Nexus Polaris
The sulphur feast
THIRSTING, WAITING... - I DRANK A SULPHUR FEAST.
THEN, SILENTLY... IN AN INSTANT. YOUR FLESH BECOME ME
...AND I WAS FORLORN.
MY GRAVE ROSE TO THE WEST...
FOR CENTURIES LONG FORGOTTEN,
RELENTLESS AS THE HUNGRY GATES OF DAWN.
AND THERE, AMIDST THE RUBBLE...
OF STONES AND EARTHLY FLESH,
...I LAUGHED AND SERVED A SULPHUR FEAST.
AND STILL IT HAUNTS ME...
DRUNK, WITH POWER...
I STRIKED AT THE SUN,
...ENGULFED, FIERY INSTANT
GOBBLING,GOBBLING...
I DEVOURED THE STARS,
MY UNIVERSE TORN ASUNDER.
THEN, AS DUSK UNRAVELLED...
THE BRITTLE OF MY BONES,
...A SHREDDED MOLD OF OBELISKS GROUTESQUE.
I STIVE BENEATH THE ESSENCE...
DERIVED FROM MORTAL MEN,
...CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO PARALELLS OF DEATH.
THIRSTING, WAITING...- I SAILED A SULPHUR SEA,
...OF PUTRID FURIOUS FLESH - A PARODY OF FEASTING FOOLS...
WHERE PROPHETS AND MADMEN- ...WALK HAND IN HAND.
Bizzare cosmic industries
SO I REACH INSIDE THE RAGING GALAXY
AND GRAB SOME SMALL GLITTERING ODDITY
SUCH A CREATION - SO CRIPPLED AND DERANGED
A TINY FIGURE IN THE BIZZARE COSMIC INDUSTRY
IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THIS CIRCUS MAXIMUS
CAN YOU TRULY SEE BEHIND MY CLOWNS MASK?
SO LIKE A MONSTER JAKE-IN-THE-BOX
ALWAYS IN SEARCH FOR A GREATER GATHERING
UNLEASH THE DUST AND UNITE THE HORRID FLESH
BECOME THE CRAVEN HORNS FOR OTHERS TO SEE
SO I REACH INSIDE THE RAGING GALAXY
AND GRAB SOME SMALL GLITTERING ODDITY
SUCH A CREATION - SO CRIPPLED AND DERANGED
A TINY FIGURE IN THE BIZZARE COSMIC INDUSTRY
IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THIS CIRCUS MAXIMUS
CAN YOU TRULY SEE BEHIND MY CLOWNS MASK?
SO LIKE A MONSTER JACK-IN-THE-BOX
ALWAYS IN SEARCH FOR A GREATER GATHERING
WELCOME TO THE TEMPLE OF FALLEN CLOWNS
WHERE THE MANY COLOURS OF DARKNESS RESIDE
"LIFELESS I SAIL TROUGH THESE IRONIC FASHIONS
DRESSED IN THE FLESH OF THE JOKER'S PASSIONS
ON THE UTTERMOST BRINK OF MADNESS I STROLL
AND THE RISE OF INSANITY - AS MY MOST PRECIOUS GOAL
QUILTED IN FEATHERS, DERANGED AND WORN
I FLY WITH THE FLOCK OF MY VANITY TORN
TRICKING THE TRAIL OF MY LONG LOST OBSCURITY
I GATHER ME INSIDE THE ARTIFICE OF ETERNITY..."
Planetarium
REACH BEYOND THE CONSTELLATIONS
A MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE MONUMENTAL
UNIVERSAL SECRETS - THE COSMIC ERROR
SCULPTURED BY THOSE DYING GENERATIONS
...I DRANK THE PASSIONS OF THOSE LOST IN THE PARADOX...
AS THE STARS TOUCHED MY ESSENCE
THE LAST OF ALL CREATION WEPT
PARALYSED WITH WONDER AND CONFUSION
BLURRED BY THE SERPENTS TEMPTATION
...I DRANK THE PASSIONS OF THOSE LOST IN THE PARADOX...
ENTANGLED IN A SWIRLING BLACK AURA OF UNITED BURNING CHAOS
ANTHEMS TO THE FORGOTTEN MASTERS - A GATHERING EQUILIBRIUM
"REACH BEYOND THE CONSTELLATIONS
A MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE MONUMENTAL
UNIVERSAL SECRETS - THE COSMIC ERROR
SCULPTURED BY THOSE DYING GENERATIONS"
I WONDERED....AS WE BEHELD THE WORLD ABOUT US
I KNEW....AS I BEHELD THE COSMOS ABOUT ME
COMPELLED TOWARDS THE SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIONS AURA
AS I REACHED FOR OUTER DIMENSIONS MY SPIRIT BECAME
COMPLETE....
The last of dragons
THE SHATTERING OF OLD ILLUSIONS - CREATED NEW SURGES OF CHAOS
NO LONGER DRIVEN BY ANCIENT HUNGERS - I GRABBED THE POISENED CHALICE
CLAWING AT THE CHURNING NIGHT - THUS ROSE MY COSMIC AMBITIONS
RIDING THE SNAKE IN DIVINE REBELLION - WANDERING THE NEBULAR CENTURIES
THE PRECIOUS ONES
BROUGHT THE PLANETARY ELEMENTS APART
LEADING THE UNIVERSE
TOWARDS NEW AND POSSESSIVE AEONS
THESE TOUGHS AND EMOTIONS EQUALED THE NIGHT
REVEALED IN THE STARBORN CATACLYSMIC ATTRIBUTES
LIKE MONUMENTS OF UNAGING INTELLECT
SEEKING THE SIGHT - IN SHINING DREAMLIKE PRESENCE
THE SHATTERING OF OLD ILLUSIONS - CREATED NEW SURGES OF CHAOS
NO LONGER DRIVEN BY ANCIENT HUNGERS - I GRABBED THE POISENED CHALICE
"THE PARADOX OF THE PARAGONS ARE MANY,
SIDE BY SIDE....ENTANGLED IN THE COMPLETE"
DANCING ON THE SURFACE OF DEVILISH LAMENTS
I TORE APART THE WORLD'S FABRIC OF RATIONAL BELIEFS
DRAWN INSIDE A MIRAGE IN WICH I WILL DROWN
HOW SIMPLE I ALONE - COULD END ALL THOSE DREAMS
....MAJESTY - THE LAST OF DRAGONS CARRIED MY FAITH....
DANCING ON THE SURFACE OF DEVILISH LAMENTS
I TORE APART THE WORLD'S FABRIC OF RATIONAL BELIEFS
DRAWN INSIDE A MIRAGE IN WICH I MIGHT DROWN
HOW SIMPLE I ALONE - COULD END ALL THOSE DREAMS
Bringer of the sixth sun
I DRANK A GOBLET OF FIRE....
I CUT OUT THE PROPHETS TONGUE...
BUT STILL, THE SUN REFUSE REFUSED TO MOVE.
I TORE A HOLE IN THE WEB OF SANITY...
THE VERY FABRIC OF LIFE ITSELF...
BUT STILL, THIS FLESH REFUSED TO BURN.
"WHAT A HUMBLE VISION!
TO FOREVER DWELL BY THE GRACE OF THE SUN..."
I GATHERED THE MOON AND THE STARS...
IN MY LITTLE POUCH OF PLANETS...
THE RENAISSANCE OF ASTRAL FLESH.
DRIPPING AND DROLLING WITH UNIVERSAL THIRST...
EQUILIBRIUM GOING UNDER...
IN SUCH AN IDLE STATE OF DEATH.
SOWING THE SEEDS OF A NEW DIMENSION...
I AM THE CONQUEROR IN HIS PETTY PARADISE...
SPINNING AROUND IN GARDEN OF LUSH BLOOMING DEATH,
POINT AT THE SUN, AND I WILL BE THERE...
AND THE ANGELS, SCATTERED AND BLEEDING...
WILL BE THE FOUNDATION OF MY EMPIRE...
AND ADMIDST ALL THIS FORLORN BEAUTY...
...I STILL LAUGHED AT THE END.
Dragonheart
WE DEMAND A CHANGE OF SEASONS
AURORA PAINTED BLACK
ELEMENTAL SUBTRACTION
THE PRESENCE LOST IT'S TIME
FOR THOSE YET TO WITNESS
FOR THOSE YET TO SEE
BREATHE AND BATHE IN ANTICIPATION
OF LIFE'S HYPOCRISY
DISTORTED BY THE ESSENCE - COMPLETED BY LIES
DECIEVED BY THE CRYSTAL VOID - CONFIGURATE IN PASSION
SO BOLD IN IT'S DISGUISE - THIS BE THE FATE OF MANKIND
A GREATER COSMIC VISION - LET THE FIRES ROAR!
THE ASTRAL BEWITCHMENT IS AT HAND
THE PLANETARY BLACK ELEMENTS
REVEALS IT'S DRAGONHEART...
WE DEMAND A CHANGE OF EXISTENCE
AND WHO ARE YOU TO DEFY?
IRONIC IS THE WORLDS DISMAY...
WE COMMAND AND YOU OBEY!
DISTORTED BY THE ESSENCE - COMPLETED BY LIES
DECIEVED BY THE CRYSTAL VOID - CONFIGURATE IN PASSION
SO BOLD IN IT'S DISGUISE - THIS BE THE FATE OF MANKIND
A GREATER COSMIC VISION - LET THE FIRES ROAR!
THE ASTRAL BEWITCHMENT IS AT HAND
THE PLANETARY BLACK ELEMENTS
REVEALS IT'S DRAGONHEART...
Planetary black elements
NEXUS POLARIS....A TRUTH CONCEALED
A GAUNT EXPRESSION OF THE END
PROPHECIES REVEALED....DIMENSIONAL CHAOS
IN PERFECT SYMMETRY - A MASK SO DREARY
A TRUTH SO STAINED - A PLANETARY CONFORMATION
A LONG LOST CREATION - A BLACK DOOR DIMENSION
IN SHALLOW MYSTERY
WHAT IS THIS UNIVERSE, BUT A WILL TO EXIST?
FOREVER....IN ALL DIMENSIONS - POLARIS OPENS IT'S EYES
THE NEXUS OF TIME AND SPACE
NEXUS....A PATH REVEALED - A JOYOUS FEAST OF FOLLS
STUPIDITY RENEWED....DIMENSIONAL CHAOS...IN PERFECT HARMONY
POSSESSIVE ILLUSIONS - LIKE A TASTE OF DEFEAT
REGRESS OR RNEGRATE - AND YOUR DOWNFALL IS COMPLETE
ILUSIVE POSSESSIONS - AN IMAGINARY VOID
HURLED TOWARDS CHAOS - TO DESTRUCT OR DESTROY
"WE REACH FOR OUTERDIMENSIONAL PARANOIA
CONCEALED PARALELLS AND HIDDEN TRUTHS....
AND THEN, AS WE GALLANTLY PLUNGE THE BORDERS
OF OUR OWN EXISTENCE...ELEMENTS DISSOLVE
AND MICROCOSMS COLLIDE. THESE ARE THE PLANETARY
BLACK ELEMENTS IN WICH THE FORCE LIES TO A
GREATER COSMIC GLORY...WHEN THE DOORS OF
PERCEPTION ARE CLEANSED...THE NEXUS POLARIS
WILL RISE..."
POSSESSIVE ILLUSIONS - LIKE THE TASTE OF DEFEAT
REGRESS OR REGENERATE - AND YOUR DOWNFALL IS COMPLETE
Chariots of thunder
LIKE CRUSADES ACROSS THE INFINITE
NIGHT SWALLOWED LIGHT
CURSED WERE THE MINIONS REBELLION
AN IMAGE OF THE SERPENT'S CREATION
REVEAL AND ENTER THE PASSAGE
ENTER INTO THE PHANTOM'S FIRE
CONSTELLATION - A UNITY IN CHAOS
THE CHARIOTS OF THUNDER'S ARRIVAL
SENT FRAGMENTS OF MY REFLECTION TO THE VOID AFIRE
BEHOLD THE NEW BREED CREATED IN MY OWN IMAGE
BRIGHTER THESE EYES BURNED WITH WICKED ANTICIPATION
AS THE STRUGGLE FOR THE BLACK ELEMENTS CAME TO AN END
....A PRECIOUS MINGLING OF THE FLESH AND ALIEN FIRE....
HELD DREAMING HANDS BENEATH THE POWER TO UNIVERSAL CREATION
AND BECAME THE UTTER PERFECTION OF TOTAL COMPLETION
BREATHE THE UNTOUCHED MAJESTY OF DARK EMOTIONS
AND FEEL THE POWER...THE BEAUTY OF DOMINATION
....CONQUERING THE WEAVER'S UTOPIA....
TO SEE THEM IN SUCH SWARMS
I WONDERED IF THIS COULD BE PARADISE
A SEED FOR THE FUTURE
THE FIRE OF FATE AND FAITH SET ALIGHT
....BEHOLD THE FAITHLESS AND HIS ANGEL....
