The most profane observes the scene from mountains made of bones Words of damnation was uttered forth when the moon was drenched in blood The lifeless knight on a pale horse rides, his crimson cape sweeps across the globe Bearer of dark tidings Harbinger of total death Unseen by the naked eye but its kiss can’t be denied You’re forced to sing in its praise through collapsing lungs of suffering Tenacious and eternal is this multiplying beast Illusive and cunning neither dead nor alive Indiscriminant in its ways to its whims you are bound A stellar blight, a child of night, the reapers familiar Ignite the flame that lies hidden within man To reveal the true nature that dwells inside us all Even God must fall at its feet as faith goes cold Chaos rules in its wake as all we know is gone The wrathful hatred from the vast abyss has materialized in organic form Voices scream inside my head as I am to become one with the bearer of dark tidings

Terminus 03:57
Consummation - Of all the means to a irremeable end Halls of worship - Frantically licked by voracious flames A funeral shroud - Falls heavy on monotheistic faiths Fine hominis - An insufferable path towards the terminus Dead eyes staring - Contemptuously upon the ugly truths Venomous - Is the bite from the subconscious Denunciation - Of the constraints from the holy trinity Terminus - The liberating thermodynamic fire An unbearable plight lies ahead Their pathetic lamentations echoes across the ruins of their former opulence The heavy rain of naught trickles down their brow as they drag Their feet across the shattered remains of prosperity Bound to the cosmic threads that is entangled with the terminus

TON 618 06:06
When a heart holds nothing but contempt for our existence The beats synchronizes with the pulsing current beyond the event horizon When a soul holds nothing but darkness it’s aligned with its furious contortions This most formidable nemesis of the laws of physics All knowledge is contained within yet it’s distorted in ways beyond mortal comprehension The forbidden tree stands tall in the center of its funnel Bleeding its poison to invoke eternal night Ice cold yet burning with majestic flames unseen Gods of rebellion resides in there Fueling the insatiable hunger of this ravening monstrosity It stems from the undawn before time as a final frontier against creation Determined to reverse everything back to naught Immersed so far away yet still so very present; The merciless accuser and unyielding destroyer I seek to be intertwined with the gravitational pull of cosmic damnation Accept my allegiance, I sacrifice myself to your dissolving principles Reshape my soul into a spearhead and place me upon the invisible star on the other side Time becomes distorted No laws in there apply Nothing lives and nothing dies Constantly expanding to consume The remnants of three failed attempts To preserve the ego lurking in there The sworn enemies of the confining light

Apokruptein 04:54
Ominous premonitions as the miasma from coffins breach the soil The obscured constellation aligns, all the seals lies bare and broken Angst, uncertainties, turmoil and premature deaths; It is the writhings of the restless sleep of a serpentine presence hidden in the watery grave of the Earth Behold what the blind reveals, harken as the voiceless speak Mouths filled with worms, vile and horrendous sights from their charred and eyeless sockets The spear that was plunged in their saviours side shall penetrate the bleeding sky And the thorns that pierced his brow shall spread disease in virtuous minds And heaven shall be flayed by the sword of contempt and thee who once fell are now bound to ascend All beauty is just a mirage to hide the foulness that lies within Good deeds fades with time, pure evil is what persists I am of thee, who was never meant to be What might be the next to crawl out of the genetic soup of failure?
5.
Malformed 05:21
Kneeling to receive a poisonous communion Fear is accumulating with the blood-curdling screams Far out in the sea, seven heads emerge Distorting the balance, this storm is a breath from the bringer of light Malformed, everything you touch will be malformed And writhe in the depths of your failure Lethality spikes with the multitudes Perceive this curse through draconian eyes of night An utterly malformed salvation Receive this pestilent gift devoid of light Twisted tongues forming words that essentially holds no value Myriads of chaos in matter mind and soul A great expansion of the void is now inevitable The grandeur of madness is adorned with the afterbirth of the damned To transgress the will of God Is the definition of sovereignty of thy soul I call upon the queen of the desert night To snatch the unborn from the womb, from their wretched wombs!
6.
If your God is the absolute, then explain the absence? I can only smirk at the irony when by his own image he was rendered obsolete They seem to sleep while they’re still awake; who can now tell what is a lucid state? Frozen limbs from a mental rigor mortis stuck in a cycle of existential abhorrence To serve their needs, you’ll burn, you’ll bleed It’s an honor to join the opposing force in the fatal dance in between space and time And to see it all be revealed, that which is the utmost pure is also the most unclean And the fickle swine welters in the man made cesspool of failures And the Devil is laughing as the naive keeps shoveling in desperation and hope In the prosperous fire we’re all burning And when only ashes remain, no one will be left to mourn
7.
In the shadows the serpents lie; the heralds of evil and darkness Pestilent demons spreads a plague to reek havoc across the world False kings will rise to sow deceit and the mother of all abominations Raise the golden chalice of filth and fornication to celebrate the victory of the final war I saw it all unfold in the visions from Megiddo The blinding dark of the inverted sun is present in my frozen heart A pound of flesh from the living God is the magic key To the void and beyond its ancient darkness the I won’t follow Let it all be undone in the raptus of Megiddo! Buried deep in the sand embedded in solid rock Lies the eleven seals etched with the ink from the qliphotic shells The pinnacle of esoteric opposition towering inside her scarlet smoke The upheaval of dogmatic contempt emanates from the bowels of the Earth the sign of total obliteration
8.
Beneath the ashes of time, above the futility of life The pillar of wickedness stands firm and ready to strike Interstellar in its reach, dormant in the unknowing mind Scraping the fabric that holds it all together Firmly placed upon a throne of total vacuum Touched by its gloom It is the constricting pressure on your chest Its voice makes you question reality itself All disasters and suffering is both its gift and punishment for a world in disarray Death is the only constant that keeps it at bay The sum of its work equals zero The universe is hanging by a thread at its fading and unwilling mercy Its pitch black mouth is a gaping void Its eyes radiates the decimation of cosmos The corrector of all the fallacies Made by the hand of narcissistic omnipotence
9.
There is a presence unexplained embedded deep inside the brain It feeds on all the misery and breeds through our connectivity Materialized to desensitize, to much for most to withstand From where does it originate, could it be one of the heads? No way out of this predicament all your truths revealed as false You shall receive not what you’ve preached, an inconceivable death toll From all the fatal errors you now must reap what you have sown The penetrating spikes of judgement shall strike at what you crave the most Going under, the pitch black waters of transitioning To merge with something deeper, something sterile and more refined Now they stand at the brink of falling, the time has come to meet your fate There is no light at the end of this tunnel This darkness is paramount
