Mastery and dominion
What see you on the astral plain
Desire sealed in blood and fire
Thoughts grow darker by the day
As you begin the impure ways
Envoys sent
Qliphothic wretch
Mastery
Dominion

EVERYTHING ROTS
Developing a wasteland to become a habitat
A land of scum and filth for all to live on
Extracting nutrients we cannot put back
As clouds of acid rain gather above
As a race we have infected the earth
Stripped it of its dew
Multiplied and sucked up all the life
Desaturated hues
Everything rots as we watch the mother spew
Everything rots as we reap what we are due
Choking on the fumes of the burning embers
Sticking to the skin like napalm
Engulfing all horizons with a blackened smog
Singing all the fibres of the earth's palm
As a race we have infected the earth
Stripped it of its dew
Multiplied and sucked up all the life
Desaturated hues
Everything rots as we watch the mother spew
Everything rots as we reap what we are due
The skies open - Acid rain strips our skin
The surface of the earth breathes the poison in
As flowers wilt the trees begin to drop their limbs
Everything rots as life is washed away
We lie lifeless under dissipating atmosphere
Layers of protection no longer there
As ecosystems crumble, Our factories still stand
A globalised depletion of the imperative
A bleak look for the world
Scattered bodies on its surface tell the story well
We now pray for the end
Everything rots - We lament what we became
Everything rots

Undivine effigy, an impure ikon
Desanctify me, Master!
Dreeping with foetal debris, 'neath the shrine I seek my fortune
so repugnant
Cloaked in morbid misery
My mouth is weeping in bliss,
frothing from the evident insence of entrails
Caressed with lips lacerated, smearing the fluids of a lost generation
In unity with the profane
Mesmerized by the forbidden kisses
Tongues slithering on my skin
Intrigued by the dissolution of the mind
Submerged into void
Creeping further towards my Master
A sinister shiver passes through me as he places a shushing finger
against my lips and in an instant,
I have become the son of Nil
Anoxia
Dissolution of the consciousness
Hollow minded
Enlightened by the presence of death
Pure futility exists
Dreary eyes expand as I'm carried down a torch-lit staircase
Before me walks my Master
crowned with the funereal essence of Death's dominion
I'm exiled into oblivion
Cloaked in morbid misery but suddenly torn from the purity of naught
as a faint light appears and a woman is cast down,
bleeding

My minions,
Bow before thy king
You have come to witness true power.
The holy are washed away,
Under the waves of my rise.
ALL HAIL!
Watch as I drain what is left,
Of the hope they held dear.
Shrieks sharper than a banshees wail,
From tormeted homunculi.
Left in the ruins of their homes,
Nowhere to run and hide.
You cannot save them,
We have suffocated the future,
Dead in the delivery rooms.
The beacon in the nightsky,
Extinguished with the final breath
Of a saviors infant form.
Watch as they squirm,
Filthy worms in the dirt,
Feasted upon by the ravens.
Leave nothing of their cities,
Salt the wounds of survivors,
Savor the powers granted,
By sacred runes.
Go forth our army,
And show the power of my reign.
I am the god king,
The face of Choronzon,
A mask of a deity,
The wolf in sheeps clothing,
Groomed from birth,
To be the leader of death,
The prodical son,
Behold your shepherd

Oceans of blood churn violently beneath a storm of panic
Gore avalanches, tectonic plates of flesh collide, loose the bodyslide
Onward to your doom, go forth and suffer
Resistance leads to broken vertebrae, electric prods in your eye
Egotism and traditional ignorance have somehow justified
There's just no other way, you'll have to suffer
Chains round your leg begin to hoist
No, this is not your ascension
Tell me, how do you like your new perspective?
Upside down, face and eyes swollen, reddened
Now know the knife, as all you ever were is drained from your body
Bleed, bleed dry
You were made to die
For greed, for feed
In postmortem bliss you dance, dead nerves fire their last, carotid spray turns the world red
The blade, like karma, comes full circle, pierce the roots and remove the head
I take my prize from 'neath your hide, fruits of your youth torn at their ripest from your bones
Dismembered as you're transformed from sentient being into product
Feel the pain, know only pain
As I lay everlasting waste to your race
When death fetches the highest price
Totally missed the meanings of life
Forgiveness runs dry, what is dealt comes back twice
Cognitive dissonance, murderous device
Onward to your doom, go forth and suffer
What better reason than destructive nature and insatiable appetites?
There's just no other way, you'll have to suffer

Insecurity runs deep
Take more than what's ever known
Craving self reassurance
It's a drug of choice
Capture the image
A portrait of deception
Capture the image
Covered in shame
Coward, you hide the truth
Show us what is kept away
Keep up illusions that take the eye
Thinking this life is real when it is but a lie
Real self has faded away, true mindless insanity, captured by vanity
Liar, the time has come, reveal the truth
No more will you hide away
Thinking this life is real, it is a God damn lie
The images; all that remains when all is stripped away
Capture the image
A portrait of deception
Capture the image
Covered in shame

This world! For naught. Your altars of depravity, endorsing your own tragedy, this end is what you sought. I adorn my mantle, the Undertaker for this world. Decrepit earthen coffin. Sealed. Lost to the cold. Strip from me, my memories, adjourn me from humanity, May the Winds speak not what I’ve done. Cherished only by insomnia, the sleepless world may rest again, from fever dreams nightmares are spun. Malefic was the prophecy, and prolific their disease, ebbing life from the land we share. I was the vanquisher, nemesis, conqueror, tormentor. Destruction’s doctrinaire. This world will rot. Your altars of depravity, endorsing your own tragedy, this end is what you sought. The lifeless embrace of silence haunts me from here to the void. This heart still beats, this mind remains. Destroyed. Strip from me, my memories, adjourn me from humanity, May the Winds speak not of what I’ve done. This peaceful earth will regain all that was lost to her as your altars burn I fade away. Silence.

Once, Upon a craft, a cargo full of souls
Their vitality, ready to be sold
All seemed well, not a single sign of hell
When the tide came rippling through, the skies were bleak
Underneath there dwelled, we should’ve turned around, but we were too compelled to see what lies in the deep
Enveloped in flames,
Drowning in their sin,
Bleeding from within,
To never breath again
Stranded in the sea,
Dying to be free,
Liquid, burning torture
Captive forever
Hopeless endeavor,
Their throats, severed
Liquid, burning torture
Captive forever
Sent to the beast below,
Their bodies have become hollow
Burned and chard carcass
Belonging to The Prince of Darkness
Endless amounts of suffering
Damned for all of eternity
Wasting away, day by day
Smothered in decay
Suffocate, they will never stay awake
Crimson liquid on it’s blade
Never ending stagnant pain
Into the void they shall suffer
From the flame that beholds
The souls of the depraved
