The Chthonian Principle
05:58

I awake Burning Hate, headless angels congregate
Fester, drown, a failed clown
Ever downward – open arms
Skinless, soulless, laid bare - stripped and left bleeding
Hail Mary the God spawned whore, her memory lost – forever
Show me a different view, throw me a rope
Pull at my chains, be a saviour to me
Wake me from my sleep and tell me I'm alive
There is no….. light here; it’s far from the truth
The door is locked tight and I have no key
There’s no sound here you can’t hear my screams
Light the way with your deceit, your frozen flame in me
A guiding hand outstretched or is it around my neck?
Safe in my darkness-withered and worn
Unable to grow-unknowing, unborn
Skeletal features-sore covered skin
Fading to nothing-this hell that I'm in
Inhale your truth and hold it down
Take a step back, see yourself from another’s eyes

Cold Dead Soul
05:35
|
|||
My corrosive heart, un-beating, passionless
Winter clasps her hands around my throat
A statute of ice all see through me
But pass me by, forgotten and alone
A heart of ice
A Deadened soul
Your words float past me as snow on a breeze
Lost in a storm of empty thought, time slides away, my fear is frozen
Blackened skies signal my end
It is my fate, the only way, face it in fear, my end is here
Deeper into winter, eternal time awaits
Helpless now in its grip
I try to scream but my frozen tongue won’t move
Unending winter my home, eternal frost
Winters laments
Summers long past
A heart of ice
Through eyes of Glass
Once as a child – summer fields my home
Lost in dreams - safe and warm
Autumns approach - signals a change
Dying leaves fall - like my hopes
Please Just let me be
Chained and never free
Falling Endlessly
Time my Enemy
I’m Alone with my Cold Dead Soul
A chill in the air, ice crystals form in the blood
My Time has Gone
Deeper into winter, eternal time awaits
Helpless now in its grip

Scorched Earth
06:03
|
|||
Dark clouds overhead, oppressive atmosphere, the calm before the storm
A distant overture, thunder from the north, mobilizing now
Swarms of grey mist - covers the land - darkness descends
A barrage of rain - unending for days - turns earth into clay
A chill in the air - frost on the wind - rain turns to hail
Oceans freeze hard - rivers of ice - unstoppable force
Stormfront advance, spearhead of cold, deadening lands
Dust clouds will choke – dead lungs of earth, attack from all sides
Lightning strikes burn the earth, a storm of light
Chaos takes hold, psychotic skies – obliterate all
Scorched earth – all is dead – elemental armies march
Storm and rain – needles of ice – electrical discharge
Tidal assault - batters the shore – leave all stripped bare
Columns of wind - rip trees from earth – all is in fear
None shall survive – maelstrom consume
Humanity dies – all hell is loose
Fallen at last – our time has come
Man is no more - The cleansing has begun
Black clouds overhead, a killing atmosphere, a raging storm of hate
A deafening overture, fire from the sky, burning all to ash
Fire unleashed, cracks in the earth, life is its fuel
Mountains of ash consumed in flame, twisted and charred
Pincer movement – fire and ice – united in pact
Death from all sides - fury of her - cleansing the earth
Stormfront advance - spearhead of cold - deadening lands
Dust clouds will choke – dead lungs of earth - attack from all sides
Lightning strikes burn the earth, a storm of light
Chaos takes hold, psychotic skies – obliterate all
Nothing is left, the earth laid bare, a blank canvas to start again

Iconoclast

The Gods:
In my world – you’ll never speak a word
In my world – you’ll crawl in rabid filth
Man:
We built a cage and called it home
Broke down existence stone by stone
A Prison of our own design
Confined by iron minds
Invented reasons to prove us right
Marched into chaos – Eternal Night
The Voice of Reason:
A new world is what we need – time has come
Ego dead – stamp it out
All as one - gods killed by our own hand – slit their throats
Man must die to survive
A new way will come
Man:
So here I am – alone again
Adrift on the wreckage of hope
Greetings Death, you tolerate me – faceless Shroud
Unborn King, aborted Now
The Gods:
I’ll make you pay
I’ll make you pay
Humanity
Driven unknowing, insolent fucking child
In my world – you’ll be driven into the earth
In my world – you’ll be caged and beaten
The Voice of Reason:
We rise up – can take no more – destroy your world
The cleansing flame - consumes all
no mercy here
You fall as leaves – our whirlwind strikes – to your knees
Our iron fist – strikes you down – and knocks you out

Mouth Sewn Shut
04:21
|

A distant light – A far off hope
Out of reach – ‘turn away’
The others say – ‘it will never be’
But they are dead, their dreams were murdered long ago
Live in half life – until the end – until the end
Sucking breath through a mouth sewn shut
They stare at you with long dead eyes
They hope you fail – They hope you fail
It will prove them right and you will join them
In eternal night – forever more
Turn your back and walk away – leave them dead
Fix your eyes on the light and take a step
Move!
Push on through now and forge ahead
The light grows brighter and the distance less
Your iron will - will see you through
Unbending in the storm
The sea will part – show you the way
Through a valley of dead you walk alone
Walls closing in but still march on
Eyes fixed, head down – Grit your teeth
Live in half life – until the end – until the end
Sucking breath through a mouth sewn shut
They stare at you with cold dead eyes
They hope you fail – They hope you fail
It will prove them right and you will join them
In eternal night – forever more
A few more steps now – one last push
Reach out towards us

Falling
05:15
|

I stood alone upon the highest mountain
Above me blood red storm clouds chocked the sky
Far below a black mass of heaving bodies
Marching slowly into blackened waters
I turn my face toward the ashen sky
The iron rain stabs and blinds my eyes
Thunder drowns my bitter cries of why – is this my life?
My burning throat is so full of crawling lice
I walk alone with both my shadows
They seem to move even when I am still
These twisted thoughts are they my own
I know my name, I’m sure – I think it’s yours
Falling into shadow, swallowed in abyss
As the nameless eat their young
They know it’s far too late - to stop us
Falling into what?
For the reapers sky will tell – the soul
Drawing near the edge, I can hear their call – now
Understand that we where never meant to be this way
A sick child adrift on a sinking hope
A house of cards in a coming storm
A wondrous place where there is no sun
I walk alone with both my shadows
They seem to move even when I am still
These twisted thoughts are they my own
I know my name, I’m sure – I think its God

Frozen
05:19
|
|||
You cannot see though your eyes are wide
Your arms outstretched in the dark
Stumbling blind one step at a time
Lost in a void senseless and dying
Pale sallow skin – an absence of light
Your ashen soul – is too weak to move
Torment and pain are one step behind
Laughing at you they whisper your name
Frozen inside, frozen from fear
Join the line of deathless ones
Unsilent screams form in your head
Enough is enough – onward to war!
Fuck this place and all that’s in it
Its my time now – you will move out of my way
I can see all now – I’ve opened my eyes
No longer a child hiding from shadows
What was I scared of? They are all weak
They are all children – afraid of the dark
They hide behind their lies and hope that you don’t see
Clutching at straws, still suckling on their mothers milk
They are all frozen, fear is their friend
Most never break free from its grip
But I am its master no longer in fear
I’ll smile at its threat and walk over it
No – More!
Frozen inside, frozen from fear
Join the line of deathless ones
Unsilent screams form in your head
Enough is enough – onward to war!

Coronal Mass Ejection

Coronal mass ejection
God of the sky
Thrusting your golden spears
Through the endless dark
War cry - riding the wolf through the endless sky
Staring at all through eternity
Open eye- blinding your enemies mercilessly
Tearing the skin from the bones of creation
Mind crushing power
Reveal the void endless and silent
Father of all
Your all knowing presence, unshakable will
Your burning core, creator, destroyer
Coronal mass ejection
Coronal mass ejection
Breath of the dragon, liquid fire
The screaming voices of a thousand angels
Arcing into infinity, sculptures of light arc through the sky
Cascading protons dancing across the sky
Messengers old, a time before time
Arcing into infinity, sculptures of light arc through the sky
Coronal mass ejection
Coronal mass ejection
Mind crushing power
Reveal the void endless and silent
Your burning core, creator, destroyer

A time before life
Spheres colliding a celestial battleground
Creation in chaos
Forcing the elements into a breeding ground
10,000 years
Smashing - destroying - a sphere of molten rock
Behemoth keeps growing
Eating the universe one piece at a time
For a thousand ages - The late heavy bombardment
Building a world - before there was thought
Eons unwind the great cooling begins
Hardening - Cracking
The birth of a planet
Rain for a million years
Filling the oceans - defining the mountains
The origins of life - proteins dividing - creating the slime
Creating mankind
The horror unfolding
A terminal cancer
Pray now for the second bombing
For a thousand ages the late heavy bombardment
For a thousand more ages the late heavy bombardment
Behemoth keeps growing eating the universe one piece at a time
Eons unwind - proteins dividing creating the slime

Dead Again
04:42
|
|||
Once I was nothing no knowledge or thought
Formless and empty – dead and unborn
Unknowing of all – eternally black
Lifeless and still – a vessel of glass
Lost in the void – a drifting soul
Naked and blind - nothing is all
Forced into life, no will of my own
This is no life – what is this place?
Like a shot to the head – I’ll wake from this hell
Is it an illusion? – and I am still nothing?
Brought into this world by selfish desire
Pulled kicking and screaming into this hell
Like a shot to the head – I’ll wake from this hell
Is it an illusion? – and am i still nothing?
For if it is not and I am alive
Then what is the point of being dead again?
It’s not to breed & put them through this shit
That is the ultimate joke
All here are cursed to walk this dead earth
We are walking a circular path
We should all lie down and wither away
This place would be better for that
