Oh my - see us shine ripping deep holes in the concubine
Oh well - so what. If the sun don't shine that's fine.
Undone, come undone - see what lay tossing
Oh well, its hell - oh well
We'll have to find another
Beasts who defile
Destroy them one and all
They're beasts who defile
With no fill - now kill
Ruthless
Empire in pyre a sickness and a cancer
Progress sawing through your trail of death
exploit we're captive in a prison
destroy - destroy - fetid corpse of a dying world
we'll have to find another

Garden of Delight

Gardens botanic
poison curated
A million shades of sleep
of variegated forms
Open portals
blossom and the root
Feeding between -
threshing keep and hold
A tower of ancient stone
azure is the throne
Splendorous and bright
Fountains teeming blood
Bells ringing midnight
Garden of delight
Vipers like branches in cypress sycamore
Crooked fingers fold ribboned sinew, bone
Summon the master cloak fuliginous
A torturer's apprentice plying trade on soul
Pungent fragrance fills suffering to gills

Spiral Eyes

Kindle hallow flame
Ribboned radiance
Through halls and guarded gates
Refreshment
Truth imbued in lies
In night embers shine
We who fall to climb
You build all the gates
Which words open wide
You seal all the gates
Which words defile
A spiral of eyes
Risen of venom
A cure a poison
Righteous in your lake
A fixed point with circumference
Balanced is your step
Action is your might
A crook and flail partake
The house of pleasure gets me
Weapons with blades that let me
Summon the self waging war
A head of state reflected
Dripping with shards and wreckage
All fire shrouded in smoke

Arktos
02:45
|

|
Holy throne of living things
Robed morning dew all glistening
Assemble at the call of your...
Lightning eyes emit exhale
Perspiring a fiery gale
Illuminating all the deathless dead
Who's tending the throne
Who wields the scepter
Spindle crystal poles
Full of fear the people shout;
Arktos!
I built a home inside your skull
With curtained jaws red temporal
Cedar floors where you once wore a tongue
Who shakes the pine at northern points
Raises a spine tendon mortar joint
Behold! She drops the winter shroud
Death is so cold
Hibernate a month or
Awaken by the glow
Crawling from Ursine mouths
Arktos!

One foot into the Fire
03:16
|
|||
|
He can wash it all away
He's the lord of illusion
Treasure chest collects your pain
Your reward scar and bruises
Blood acrid fills the veins
Endless abyss I'm sinking down
I'm going insane
Feel the love now feel the love
One foot into the fire
Of your God
One foot is not enough
For your God
Quartered, drawn by four winds
Body lay in broken ruins
Feel depression sinking in
Is this hell my own choosing
Gone now too far away
Kick down the doors and let me out
All existence is pain
Feel the love descending down from above

The Starry Sea
03:46
|
|||
|
All along the river that splits the sky
Blue jewels glimmer with pearls of white
We'll build a tower and learn to climb
Stairs that spiral up to heights sublime
Swim in electric blue curled fields
In firmament from which worlds congeal
Sapphire waters feed emerald trees
Ruby branched patterns sway amber leaves
On and on you shine fragments
to earth born resplendent
meteors bound to earth
feathers form umbilicus
on and on you starry sea
whence and whither to thee
