Nine 01:21
Let's play a game and light the sage, I'll fetch the cup, sharpen the blade. Mark the spot by candle flame, Unearth the soil that surrounds the grave. Shut your eyes and count to nine, Manifest mortal sin, Conjugate spirit and mind. For these tales are a sign of the times. On this cold eve, winter crept. Like a sly fiend posed as a friend. With these dull, rusted knives, Buried deep in my back. Watch the purveyors of wisdom, Iniquity throughout life.

No love for a celestial symbol, Only worship of an auric clad imperial, Ordained with the toils of one thousand men, ‘’In the name of their salvation This greed it brings the end.’’ Why deny such a high state of life, The wolves are clawing at the door, The rats are watching from the walls, The falsities of a rotting mind, with his sanity aligned, A molten crown of gold it was mine. Luminescent, reflecting cruelly, It haunts him to a maddened twitch, A scratch that can’t be itched, buried so deep within his thoughts, ‘’A king should never feel this way, But riches wine & gold they did pave’’, I feel these walls come down, All around, Paved in gold. Is my soul. It is all I’ve ever known, In the shadow of my greed. Is this the end for me? From the poor. Lock my door. Thou shalt never take what’s yours. All of this he knows to fucking well. As he slowly drowns in his own personal hell, Like drinking water from the ocean, A thirst unquenchable, With every sip to every swallow I bid thee now. Welcome to eternal Judication, A life in exile a martyred proclamation To turn before the nights as black as coal, A face peers through the dark a wraith now sent, to reap & steal you his soul. Clutched in these dead hands, I wished to die with my greed, With nothing else left to gain, Only possessions to lose, All that has ever been, going to, ever will Atop this throne I’d sit and I’d wonder why In greed I survive, Like rats in the pipes This avarice nullified sleeping at night Like King Midas rich forever Id count each piece by piece Paved in gold, Is my soul, It is all I’ve ever known. Seeds of greed planted deep beneath a shattered throne From them a golden tree of hatred it does grow Around his throat it's thorns begin to cling To the branches from where henceforth He will eternally swing

Putrid and abhorrent, You’re nihilistic nature, Exposes your weaknesses. Escaping fleshy coils In visceral display of blood , bone and offal A putrid change begins. In packs they rape they ravage They feed on the dead. My necromantic spawn reign Billions made carrion so trillions may carry on My vile mission. Bring me the still beating heart Of every bastard child on the virgin earth It’s what I long for I do not care what it costs Or who it hurts, Just bring me the tribute, The fucking, sacrifice. Dear father do not forgive them for they know what they do, They have sold their souls to the demon king below. I will not live nor will I die, Eternity in the blink of an eye, Unto the depth I commit thee. I pray my days release me from my soul. And I feed on the lonely and the diseased I will not watch nor will I look away. Bring me the still beating heart Of every bastard child on the virgin earth It’s what I long for. I do not care what it costs Or who it hurts Just bring me the tribute the sacrifice, I do not care what it costs Or who it hurts Just bring me the tribute the sacrifice. All I need is a moon and a vestige To spread my influence. I pray my days release me from my soul. And I feed on the lonely and the diseased I do not watch nor do i look away (Dear father please do not forgive them for they know what they have done. As I cast an empowering gaze, I look away.) As I cast down an empowering gaze I look I look away A vile rage from a sordid place. I relinquish all control and truly, Wreathe in the ecstasy of your suffering. (I live my life blackheartedly. Enamoured by thy moonlit fantasy. ) I live my life black hearted, Enamoured by the moonlight breaking the passage of the trees Wreathing in the primal carnal ecstasy The pack descends upon thee It descends upon thee I pray my days release me from my soul. And I feed on the lonely and the diseased I do not watch nor do I look away (Breaking through the passage of the trees, breathing a carnal ecstasy. As I cast an empowering gaze, I look away.) As I cast down an empowering gaze I look I look away

Umbra Mortis 04:24
Now die filth Then bend the knee I will bind your essence to this corpse Your prime directive ; to serve me My child, so violent yet sweet. I plan to polymerise your flesh and bone With fire and void to best serve me. My goal is to dominate, Infecting all sovereignty and then liquidate Relinquish all control to me An unto me Your fealty will hence create Putrescent storms of sinew and fury By means you will not foresee, Your death the catalyst for greater change, An inherent disease In your frame I shall negate With greater men, Amalgamate Dreams they haunt me Limp lily white neck of the dead And the limbs of a crim will do nicely. Through my failings I've wrought A sickly sight, A ghastly blight But this night a stitch in time Would desecrate not save nine Sewn limb from limb At one free from sin Encapsulated my vision Though these torturous figures Now haunt my volition I dare not deny the artist in inside Though acting out god was the sum of my life My offerings done, Lump of flesh now a son I stitched betwixt dusk & dominion of night If I cannot inspire love i’ll cause fear. There is something at work in my soul Which I’ve cannot hear. Now I’ve breathed life to your carcass You’ll act on your will, But you’ll enforce your fathers law, All hail Ava Satanas Now guided by the defilers hand His blackened speech will scribe our fates in blood ‘’Its alive’’ As the screams of anguish echoed forth, In torment, life extinguished Cracks of thunder split the sky as timber flamed so high above ‘’Lightning licks the finger tips of pointed spires scraping the Sky tops’’ Afflicted, yet conflicted, With this heinous task at hand Forever in the dark, I honed my craft to exceed My blackest desires Is my spawn to proceed And drown this wretched earth in fire Driven by his love for me , A beast that won’t relent or ever tire Now crawl Through this Foul metropolis A pen for cattle dressed as a dystopian maze. The avatar of Sodom incarnate, An ode to the ending of days. Dreams they haunt me Limp lily white neck of the dead And the limbs of a crim will do nicely. Through my failings I've wrought This sickly sight, a ghastly blight This night, A stitch in time, Would desecrate not save nine Sewn limb from limb At one free from sin Encapsulated my vision Though these torturous figures now haunt my volition I dare not deny the artist in inside Though acting out god was the sum of my life My offerings done Lump of flesh now a son I stitched betwixt dusk & dominion of night Now that We're bound By our hearts, I’ve stitched our sins And our hopes and flaws together We are but one and the same We are but one and the same We are but one and the same If I cannot inspire love I'll cause fear There is something at work in my soul which I cannot hear Now I’ve breathe life to your carcass You’ll act on your will, But you’ll enforce our fathers law, All hail Ava Satanas Now guided by the defilers hand His blackened speech will scribe our fates in blood.

Eulogy 05:03
Now in these fateful hours A weakened stalk supports a weightless flower A ghost roaming to this day To wish for death Irony unjust in the end A wicked joke at expense of the dead For reasons far beyond my knowledge You wished for a home Though the feelings that shook your bones Were just a failsafe so you weren’t alone I fell into a darkness That plagued both of our minds As the gardens wilt and decay I wish once more to change that night I cant forgot those years Exempted as a comfort Your voice a distant thought Exactly what I needed most I’d try to treasure all life The sense of dread it hangs high like the scythe Lying there on that square Gasping for air I heard it every night How could I know? How could I care? That my sudden lapse of judgement Had dealt this hand And now the seeds were sewn I stood beside you once Empty of all comfort Except now to say that your love Is smashed and gashes at your veins I felt your pain & in those throbbing nights I see Those broken edges in my Sunken, hallowed, doubtful dreams The lone wolf who cried wolf Never to grow were these orchards A vein collapsed In front of my eyes A death of mottled colour Yellowed, purple in demise Reminisce & relinquish all thought and just let it go And cut away the guilt They say the blood of the covenant is thicker Than the water of the womb I’d sit & count the days Kept composed as i held my poise I forgot the sound of your voice And the dulcet sound of your music choice I fell into a darkness That plagued both of our minds as our gardens wilt and decay I wish once more to change If I could say good bye Just one last time I’d make you take back Each time you wished to die This pain resides If only you knew you Were loved so dearly from start I fell into a darkness That plagued both of our minds As the gardens wilt and decay I wish once more to change Though you’re no longer with us Just please know that we’ll meet again someday

A man who god forgot Indifferent to the populace’s rot In secrecy a thrall To his compulsive ways of sloth He hoarded the poppies tears It strangles the ache His mind was numbed For countless years He dare not care for others fates “Please appease this lifes abundant entropy Let its seed burn black my my veins A life devoid of dread and pain On & on this torture presides Over this sanctimonious way of wretched life.” In misery for eternity A mere rush of sweet amphetamine Seems the only cure for me I’d hoard it, die for it And though this pile of corpses Grows & grows each passing day I’d live this life to numb the pain I’d have to line these halls Shamed by their faces Staring back so vacant Im repulsed by my actions And though their blood is on my hands I still crave that very cure that fixes all for me And naught for them Heart ablaze, Light the fire Ignite this pyre Cleanse the soul of desire As the flames go higher I’d see their hallowed faces peer betwixt the walls Sleep became a distant dream after their fall Usurp fealty to a wicked god Devoid of warmth or love My given right just to get off I’m haunted by their familiar faces Though I’ve been such a disgrace I’ve took solace in that blaspheming god. Blaspheme the gods For the abundance of a fix to get me off I’ve dug this grave And now I lay with thee who rot They sing to me Dissonantly, infecting my mind, So callously clinging to life But if I should die tonight, I’d be relinquished of this cursed plight Defiling just for the thrill No need to swindle, Burn on this corpse pile Sit and swill, At behest of my own rot. I cannot fathom a mere shred of self awareness I’d have to line these halls Shamed by their faces Staring back so vacant Im repulsed by my actions And though their blood is on my hands I still crave that very cure that fixes all for me and naught for them Heart ablaze light the fire Ignite this pyre Cleanse the soul of desire As the flames go higher I believe the pain won’t set you free You’re spiralling into madness Into madness Submerged in deep blue ecstasy Finally mustered a mere semblance of guilt Purged himself, a cowards destiny Crash beneath the waves below Assigned to hell eternally

Incantation 04:55
This is the corpse I’ve been waiting for Unshackled and uncaged, unburned I remain Such ecstasy from your death I gain As you vomit forth your last words Lament my fucking name Obsession eternal, Her crux the first born Envy of lovers, Oh the boy he was scorned The radix of her bloom Was his presence profound Such a sight to behold, So in envy she was crowned Twelve years in the dark A nightmare matriarch Locked in a dimly lit room with this crone All alone And now branded with marks The most calloused of souls, Decrepit spawn, The most icy of hearts ‘But I never asked to be your spawn’ Dehumanised and shaped into your guise of selfish worth (This time) I’ll not fall prey to your deceit I exist to serve a truer cause than living as a fountain to drink free I can feel vigour exit my lungs Posthumously vomit, Most twisted of tricks I’d die for your life but my love made you sick As death whispers softly, I adhere Pulling strings like a mad puppeteer (so I cling to a semblance of youth) I feel this guilt fade, I pre dug my grave with no space for a soul to erase Sinking deeper and deeper once more Claim this life as a sacrifice Bastardised syllables of an ancient tongue fall from a shattered maw, Entwining words of wisdom To quell the lie that you thought you saw In these incantations I have sought To harness the power of loss To bind this shattered earth to me Through the blackened smog and salted earth I express my need dominate Suffer me and unto to me alone Will go the spoils of your evisceration Anointed in your bile Become the avatar Of twisted remains racked with pain Reconstituted for the purpose of your selfish gain As death whispers softly, I adhere Pulling strings like a mad puppeteer (so I cling to a semblance of youth) I feel this guilt fade, I pre dug my grave with no space for a soul to erase Sinking deeper and deeper once more Claim this life as a sacrifice If all this time I’d know that I’d lived such a fictitious lie The pain would subside But In life I could not truly hide Engulfed by your envy your anger ensued Consumed by the most hallowed of ghosts If I’d known all along how you’d betray your blood I’d of left you to rot a millennium ago I’d of left you to rot a millennium ago I’d of left you to rot And as I grasp your still lurching lung in my clawed hand I feel your final breath slip through my fingertips Entwining pain and torture To help pass unto the blackened depths A cleansing of sorts Re arranging all of your chakras To better accommodate all the agony and anguish that will ensue With a crooked smile curled all seems at peace the walls they seem to hum Immorte ipsium

So what if I’m half alive for just one night If my heart could beat it would To echo through these hollow halls & haunted courts Yet reignited by a spark of life That dimmed eons back on moonlit nights Pools of life in a deathless stare Revealing secrets of your frailty so unaware Emanating the warmth of flesh Creeping down the wick To melt this pallid wax of mine A forbidden dance, a crimson vortex Of glamoured tides on marbled doorsteps A euphoric masquerade, to be Repeated At dusk she finds me so willing To give in blindly, forgiving Affliction bound by addiction Yet so inviting I pity thee for thou cannot see The torture and treachery that you deliver Hypocrisy and lies entwined If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation. Pledged upon an altar of stone Swearing fealty to lust and carnal pleasure alone Exile any single mere shred of hope And cut your jagged teeth on bone Incubas incarnated in flesh Succubus in life & longing presiding over death Either side of the spectrum collide, No consequence to even be considered, If there is not a true end to life. Blame me of your sins and I shall share your guilt Bite at my lips and grasp at my flesh, Seek pleasure as, I cradle thee into the deep. An ode to bleaker times In the shade of the macabre Fixate on a frame of mind Why fate has dealt these cards Hanging from the gallows noose or petrified to stone, why choose? Its so peculiar how someone can lose a heart whilst being seduced I pity thee for thou cannot see The torture and treachery that you deliver Hypocrisy and lies entwined If my body is a sin.. Freedom of will Over blind faith Let me Be free Of the Mortal Desire Let me float face down dead in the mire A horror in symphony Take this body It means naught to me Sin deep Shed my skin as an Apogee So sublime Ascended madness My final taste of life, A pulse that beckons me no more. From a pitch, to a tone, then a musical note Its sounds oh so inviting I pity thee for thou cannot see The torture and treachery that you deliver Hypocrisy and lies entwined If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation

The Serpent 03:56
Endless and seeking My life lacks all meaning Cursed to live another day Constant yet fleeting a cycle Repeating I fear I’ll do this until the end of days I ushered in fire, fed from the heard gave birth to desires Salt the soul with the blood of the unworthy Their whispering forked tongues feed the fetid soil and the mangled roots If you chop off the serpents head The body writhes and squirms but the bastard snake will remain dead Now empowered I scour your eyes for greed or lust The stench of lies has now become your putrid musk I have found profound differences between us The grounds we share is blackened now Returned to Dust Seeding your willows root of lies whilst you rashly wrought this treason Deprived of your sense of sight, A heinous fate for a life Rending flesh and bone and tendon alike Conceited liar, contempt inspired To suffer those whom do possess, the slightest ounce of ignorance I’d purge the tongue of treachery with fire To rid salaciousness Necrotic, Demonic, An effigy to perjure catatonic A falsifier of flesh branded I have seen you lie, deceive, falsify Conceited vermin filth Just a twisted liar A sick defiler I have no need to suffer this, No patience left for Ignorance Face down an exaltation proclaimed as my right Base forms in the moonless night I proceed to perceive a million synchronicities between a demon and a servant of divinity I have commingled with demons consorted with contorted souls Arise, my morning star Languish in this hell, Ive wrought Defiling all your private thoughts Weaving a widows web of lies whilst exhuming thought and reason You’d thrive at home in the ninth, flayed and branded for life This wretched curse now proclaimed as your rite Falsifier, a sick desire. To suffer those whom do possess, the slightest ounce Of Ignorance I’d purge the tongue of treachery with fire To rid salaciousness Necrotic, Demonic, An effigy to perjure catatonic A falsifier of flesh branded An abhorrent and vile degradation of health You cheapen your morals and values just to prove your fucking yourself Dead on the ground Sever the spine, Deceiver
