Misery Conquers All
10:43

King of cold in a land of hopelessness
Slaves serve in miserable depths
A sound echoing across the caverns
For thousands of years
Stars in the sky
Form a door
"May I pass?
I shall become"
Asks the peasant
Crying toward the holy one above
Must not say its name
You are its next offering
Guilty of blasphemy
Perform, conform
Gloom
I shall serve
A sentence
Uncontrollably numb
To the chalice
I crawl, in agony
In its presence
Misery conquers all
Love lies beneath the ground
Stars in the sky
Form a door
"May I pass?
I shall become"
Asks the peasant
Crying toward the holy one above
I shall become, I shall become, I will be numb
I shall become, I shall become, I will be numb
Must not say its name
You are its next offering
Guilty of blasphemy
Perform, conform

A Torchlit Passage

The flame, the flame, it burns in my eyes
I witness, I witness a crack in the sky
Within the blaze, I see my demise
I gaze, I gaze, dead inside
Something is turning
Cold and burning
Faster than pestilence
Takes over divine
But why, but why,
Do we suffer this?
A blaze in a catacomb lights no path
I die, I die
Tomorrow we will see baphomet arise!
Something is turning
Cold and burning
Faster than pestilence
Takes over divine
I wait- for nothing
Suffer- for nothing
Give in only to death
Give in to death
The flame, the flame, it burns in my eyes
I witness, I witness a crack in the sky
Within the blaze, I see my demise
I gaze, I gaze, dead inside
Something is turning
Cold and burning
Faster than pestilence
Takes over divine
But why, but why,
Do we suffer this?
A blaze in a catacomb lights no path
I die, I die
Tomorrow we will see baphomet arise!
Something is turning
Cold and burning
Faster than pestilence
Takes over divine

The Portal

I have seen
The portal open
It reminds me of your eyes
The expanding of the black hole iris
Small light flares die
Burnt out
Skin exposed
In the humid night
Like water touching fire
Darkness eats the light
Fire light
Surprised by a fine candlelit ritual
Eyes inside the mouth
Swallow with passion
Knife into the bread
Eat the lord in fashion
Funeral for fire
Black hole in the eyes
Darkened soul

Wizardry Washed Lands
14:42
|

Who stands above all
In the clouds of medieval
Wizardry across
Fields of flowers and distraught
Fear- Wrath
The mesmerizing sun
Vanishes from
The atmosphere around
No light above
Hope- Existence
I am the magic being
Embrace my wrath
The land you’ve slipped into
Is filled with hope and misery
Colors in the sky without lux
Hope in all of us
Beaming from above
Wizardry washed lands
Forsaken
Colors in the sky without lux
Hope in all of us
Beaming from above
Wizardry washed lands
Village in storms of snow
White lands in dying autumn
As fear rises
Emperor in grief
A miserable kingdom
Represented by starving sheep
Depressed species
In spring’s mouth
Happy by the night
The fire burns out- Ruin- Misery
Falling clouds- Make fog
Darkest days in history
Winters of tarnish
Season of despondency
Wrath forsaken
Wrath
Depressed species
In spring’s mouth
Happy by the night
The fire burns out

Celestial Envy
09:07
|

|
Smoke from the pyre
Still blackens the atmosphere
No one left to mourn
Sacred hearts are torn
Beware, the depths bring danger
Giants in the north
Greatness and anger
Hiding depression in chambers
Within the heart of gold
There is a forbidden path
The ancient ones are not very old
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
(Hiding depression in chambers
Within the heart of gold)
(Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines)
Heart without a population
Celestial envy and devastation
Forgotten, never seen again
Heart without a population
Celestial envy and devastation
Forgotten, never seen again
Hiding depression in chambers
Within the heart of gold
There is a forbidden path
The ancient ones are not very old
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
Sing to the ones
Ending their lives
Buried, entombed
In stones, in shrines
No longer a memory
