THE SERPENT
NINE
Let's play a game and light the sage,
I'll fetch the cup, sharpen the blade.
Mark the spot by candle flame,
Unearth the soil that surrounds the grave.
Shut your eyes and count to nine,
Manifest mortal sin,
Conjugate spirit and mind.
For these tales are a sign of the times.
On this cold eve, winter crept.
Like a sly fiend posed as a friend.
With these dull, rusted knives,
Buried deep in my back.
Watch the purveyors of wisdom,
Iniquity throughout life.
THE RATS IN THE WALLS
No love for a celestial symbol,
Only worship of an auric clad imperial,
Ordained with the toils of one thousand men,
‘’In the name of their salvation This greed it brings the end.’’
Why deny such a high state of life,
The wolves are clawing at the door,
The rats are watching from the walls,
The falsities of a rotting mind,
with his sanity aligned,
A molten crown of gold it was mine.
Luminescent,
reflecting cruelly,
It haunts him to a maddened twitch,
A scratch that can’t be itched,
buried so deep within his thoughts,
‘’A king should never feel this way,
But riches wine & gold they did pave’’,
I feel these walls come down, All around,
Paved in gold. Is my soul.
It is all I’ve ever known,
In the shadow of my greed.
Is this the end for me?
From the poor.
Lock my door.
Thou shalt never take what’s yours.
All of this he knows to fucking well.
As he slowly drowns in his own personal hell,
Like drinking water from the ocean,
A thirst unquenchable,
With every sip to every swallow I bid thee now.
Welcome to eternal Judication,
A life in exile a martyred proclamation
To turn before the nights as black as coal,
A face peers through the dark a wraith now sent,
to reap & steal you his soul.
Clutched in these dead hands,
I wished to die with my greed,
With nothing else left to gain,
Only possessions to lose,
All that has ever been,
going to, ever will
Atop this throne
I’d sit and I’d wonder why
In greed I survive,
Like rats in the pipes
This avarice nullified sleeping at night
Like King Midas rich forever
Id count each piece by piece
Paved in gold,
Is my soul,
It is all I’ve ever known.
Seeds of greed planted deep beneath a shattered throne
From them a golden tree of hatred it does grow
Around his throat it's thorns begin to cling
To the branches from where henceforth
He will eternally swing
OF BLOOD & BONE
Putrid and abhorrent,
You’re nihilistic nature,
Exposes your weaknesses.
Escaping fleshy coils
In visceral display of blood , bone and offal
A putrid change begins.
In packs they rape they ravage
They feed on the dead.
My necromantic spawn reign
Billions made carrion so trillions may carry on
My vile mission.
Bring me the still beating heart
Of every bastard child on the virgin earth
It’s what I long for
I do not care what it costs
Or who it hurts,
Just bring me the tribute,
The fucking, sacrifice.
Dear father do not forgive them for they know what they do, They have sold their souls to the demon king below.
I will not live nor will I die,
Eternity in the blink of an eye,
Unto the depth I commit thee.
I pray my days release me from my soul.
And I feed on the lonely and the diseased
I will not watch nor will I look away.
Bring me the still beating heart
Of every bastard child on the virgin earth
It’s what I long for.
I do not care what it costs
Or who it hurts
Just bring me the tribute the sacrifice,
I do not care what it costs
Or who it hurts
Just bring me the tribute the sacrifice.
All I need is a moon and a vestige
To spread my influence.
I pray my days release me from my soul.
And I feed on the lonely and the diseased
I do not watch nor do i look away
(Dear father please do not forgive them for they know what they have done. As I cast an empowering gaze, I look away.)
As I cast down an empowering gaze I look I look away
A vile rage from a sordid place.
I relinquish all control and truly,
Wreathe in the ecstasy of your suffering.
(I live my life blackheartedly. Enamoured by thy moonlit fantasy. )
I live my life black hearted,
Enamoured by the moonlight breaking the passage of the trees Wreathing in the primal carnal ecstasy
The pack descends upon thee
It descends upon thee
I pray my days release me from my soul.
And I feed on the lonely and the diseased
I do not watch nor do I look away
(Breaking through the passage of the trees, breathing a carnal ecstasy. As I cast an empowering gaze, I look away.)
As I cast down an empowering gaze
I look I look away
UMBRA MORTIS
Now die filth
Then bend the knee
I will bind your essence to this corpse
Your prime directive ; to serve me
My child, so violent yet sweet.
I plan to polymerise your flesh and bone
With fire and void to best serve me.
My goal is to dominate,
Infecting all sovereignty and then liquidate
Relinquish all control to me
An unto me
Your fealty will hence create
Putrescent storms of sinew and fury
By means you will not foresee,
Your death the catalyst for greater change,
An inherent disease
In your frame I shall negate
With greater men,
Amalgamate
Dreams they haunt me
Limp lily white neck of the dead
And the limbs of a crim will do nicely.
Through my failings I've wrought
A sickly sight,
A ghastly blight
But this night a stitch in time
Would desecrate not save nine
Sewn limb from limb
At one free from sin
Encapsulated my vision
Though these torturous figures
Now haunt my volition
I dare not deny the artist in inside
Though acting out god was the sum of my life
My offerings done,
Lump of flesh now a son
I stitched betwixt dusk & dominion of night
If I cannot inspire love i’ll cause fear.
There is something at work in my soul
Which I’ve cannot hear.
Now I’ve breathed life to your carcass
You’ll act on your will,
But you’ll enforce your fathers law,
All hail Ava Satanas
Now guided by the defilers hand
His blackened speech will scribe our fates in blood
‘’Its alive’’
As the screams of anguish echoed forth,
In torment, life extinguished
Cracks of thunder split the sky as timber flamed so high above
‘’Lightning licks the finger tips of pointed spires scraping the Sky tops’’
Afflicted, yet conflicted,
With this heinous task at hand
Forever in the dark,
I honed my craft to exceed
My blackest desires
Is my spawn to proceed
And drown this wretched earth in fire
Driven by his love for me ,
A beast that won’t relent or ever tire
Now crawl
Through this
Foul metropolis
A pen for cattle dressed as a dystopian maze.
The avatar of Sodom incarnate,
An ode to the ending of days.
Dreams they haunt me
Limp lily white neck of the dead
And the limbs of a crim will do nicely.
Through my failings I've wrought
This sickly sight, a ghastly blight
This night,
A stitch in time,
Would desecrate not save nine
Sewn limb from limb
At one free from sin
Encapsulated my vision
Though these torturous figures
now haunt my volition
I dare not deny the artist in inside
Though acting out god was the sum of my life
My offerings done
Lump of flesh now a son
I stitched betwixt dusk & dominion of night
Now that We're bound By our hearts,
I’ve stitched our sins
And our hopes and flaws together
We are but one and the same
We are but one and the same
We are but one and the same
If I cannot inspire love
I'll cause fear
There is something at work in my soul which I cannot hear
Now I’ve breathe life to your carcass
You’ll act on your will,
But you’ll enforce our fathers law,
All hail Ava Satanas
Now guided by the defilers hand
His blackened speech will scribe our fates in blood.
EULOGY
Now in these fateful hours
A weakened stalk supports a weightless flower
A ghost roaming to this day
To wish for death
Irony unjust in the end
A wicked joke at expense of the dead
For reasons far beyond my knowledge
You wished for a home
Though the feelings that shook your bones
Were just a failsafe so you weren’t alone
I fell into a darkness
That plagued both of our minds
As the gardens wilt and decay
I wish once more to change that night
I cant forgot those years
Exempted as a comfort
Your voice a distant thought
Exactly what I needed most
I’d try to treasure all life
The sense of dread it hangs high like the scythe
Lying there on that square
Gasping for air
I heard it every night
How could I know?
How could I care?
That my sudden lapse of judgement
Had dealt this hand
And now the seeds were sewn
I stood beside you once
Empty of all comfort
Except now to say that your love
Is smashed and gashes at your veins
I felt your pain
& in those throbbing nights I see
Those broken edges in my
Sunken, hallowed, doubtful dreams
The lone wolf who cried wolf
Never to grow were these orchards
A vein collapsed
In front of my eyes
A death of mottled colour
Yellowed, purple in demise
Reminisce & relinquish all thought and just let it go
And cut away the guilt
They say the blood of the covenant is thicker
Than the water of the womb
I’d sit & count the days
Kept composed as i held my poise
I forgot the sound of your voice
And the dulcet sound of your music choice
I fell into a darkness
That plagued both of our minds
as our gardens wilt and decay
I wish once more to change
If I could say good bye
Just one last time
I’d make you take back
Each time you wished to die
This pain resides
If only you knew you
Were loved so dearly from start
I fell into a darkness
That plagued both of our minds
As the gardens wilt and decay
I wish once more to change
Though you’re no longer with us
Just please know that we’ll meet again someday
MISERY ETERNAL
A man who god forgot
Indifferent to the populace’s rot
In secrecy a thrall
To his compulsive ways of sloth
He hoarded the poppies tears
It strangles the ache
His mind was numbed
For countless years
He dare not care for others fates
“Please appease this lifes abundant entropy
Let its seed burn black my my veins
A life devoid of dread and pain
On & on this torture presides
Over this sanctimonious way of wretched life.”
In misery for eternity
A mere rush of sweet amphetamine Seems the only cure for me
I’d hoard it, die for it
And though this pile of corpses
Grows & grows each passing day
I’d live this life to numb the pain
I’d have to line these halls
Shamed by their faces
Staring back so vacant
Im repulsed by my actions
And though their blood is on my hands
I still crave that very cure that fixes all for me
And naught for them
Heart ablaze,
Light the fire
Ignite this pyre
Cleanse the soul of desire
As the flames go higher
I’d see their hallowed faces peer betwixt the walls
Sleep became a distant dream after their fall
Usurp fealty to a wicked god
Devoid of warmth or love
My given right just to get off
I’m haunted by their familiar faces
Though I’ve been such a disgrace I’ve took solace in that blaspheming god.
Blaspheme the gods
For the abundance of a fix to get me off
I’ve dug this grave
And now I lay with thee who rot
They sing to me
Dissonantly, infecting my mind,
So callously clinging to life
But if I should die tonight, I’d be relinquished of this cursed plight
Defiling just for the thrill
No need to swindle,
Burn on this corpse pile
Sit and swill,
At behest of my own rot.
I cannot fathom a mere shred of self awareness
I’d have to line these halls
Shamed by their faces
Staring back so vacant
Im repulsed by my actions
And though their blood is on my hands
I still crave that very cure that fixes all for me and naught for them
Heart ablaze light the fire
Ignite this pyre
Cleanse the soul of desire
As the flames go higher
I believe the pain won’t set you free
You’re spiralling into madness
Into madness
Submerged in deep blue ecstasy
Finally mustered a mere semblance of guilt
Purged himself, a cowards destiny
Crash beneath the waves below
Assigned to hell eternally
INCANTATION
This is the corpse I’ve been waiting for
Unshackled and uncaged, unburned I remain
Such ecstasy from your death I gain
As you vomit forth your last words
Lament my fucking name
Obsession eternal,
Her crux the first born
Envy of lovers,
Oh the boy he was scorned
The radix of her bloom
Was his presence profound
Such a sight to behold,
So in envy she was crowned
Twelve years in the dark
A nightmare matriarch
Locked in a dimly lit room with this crone All alone
And now branded with marks
The most calloused of souls,
Decrepit spawn,
The most icy of hearts
‘But I never asked to be your spawn’
Dehumanised and shaped into your guise of selfish worth
(This time) I’ll not fall prey to your deceit
I exist to serve a truer cause than living as a fountain to drink free
I can feel vigour exit my lungs
Posthumously vomit,
Most twisted of tricks
I’d die for your life but my love made you sick
As death whispers softly, I adhere
Pulling strings like a mad puppeteer
(so I cling to a semblance of youth)
I feel this guilt fade, I pre dug my grave with no space for a soul to erase
Sinking deeper and deeper once more
Claim this life as a sacrifice
Bastardised syllables of an ancient tongue
fall from a shattered maw,
Entwining words of wisdom
To quell the lie that you thought you saw
In these incantations I have sought
To harness the power of loss
To bind this shattered earth to me
Through the blackened smog and salted earth
I express my need dominate
Suffer me and unto to me alone
Will go the spoils of your evisceration
Anointed in your bile
Become the avatar
Of twisted remains racked with pain
Reconstituted for the purpose of your selfish gain
As death whispers softly, I adhere
Pulling strings like a mad puppeteer
(so I cling to a semblance of youth)
I feel this guilt fade, I pre dug my grave with no space for a soul to erase
Sinking deeper and deeper once more
Claim this life as a sacrifice
If all this time
I’d know that I’d lived such a fictitious lie
The pain would subside
But In life I could not truly hide
Engulfed by your envy your anger ensued
Consumed by the most hallowed of ghosts
If I’d known all along how you’d betray your blood
I’d of left you to rot a millennium ago
I’d of left you to rot a millennium ago
I’d of left you to rot
And as I grasp your still lurching lung in my clawed hand
I feel your final breath slip through my fingertips
Entwining pain and torture
To help pass unto the blackened depths
A cleansing of sorts
Re arranging all of your chakras
To better accommodate all the agony and anguish that will ensue
With a crooked smile curled all seems at peace the walls they seem to hum
Immorte ipsium
SOULS ASUNDER
So what if I’m half alive for just one night
If my heart could beat it would
To echo through these hollow halls & haunted courts
Yet reignited by a spark of life
That dimmed eons back on moonlit nights
Pools of life in a deathless stare
Revealing secrets of your frailty so unaware
Emanating the warmth of flesh
Creeping down the wick
To melt this pallid wax of mine
A forbidden dance, a crimson vortex
Of glamoured tides on marbled doorsteps
A euphoric masquerade,
to be Repeated
At dusk she finds me so willing
To give in blindly, forgiving
Affliction bound by addiction
Yet so inviting
I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation.
Pledged upon an altar of stone
Swearing fealty to lust and carnal pleasure alone
Exile any single mere shred of hope
And cut your jagged teeth on bone
Incubas incarnated in flesh
Succubus in life & longing presiding over death
Either side of the spectrum collide,
No consequence to even be considered,
If there is not a true end to life.
Blame me of your sins and I shall share your guilt
Bite at my lips and grasp at my flesh,
Seek pleasure as,
I cradle thee into the deep.
An ode to bleaker times
In the shade of the macabre
Fixate on a frame of mind
Why fate has dealt these cards
Hanging from the gallows noose or petrified to stone, why choose?
Its so peculiar how someone can lose a heart whilst being seduced
I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin..
Freedom of will
Over blind faith
Let me
Be free
Of the Mortal Desire
Let me float face down dead in the mire
A horror in symphony
Take this body
It means naught to me
Sin deep
Shed my skin as an Apogee
So sublime
Ascended madness
My final taste of life,
A pulse that beckons me no more.
From a pitch, to a tone, then a musical note
Its sounds oh so inviting
I pity thee for thou cannot see
The torture and treachery that you deliver
Hypocrisy and lies entwined
If my body is a sin then lead me to temptation
THE SERPENT
Endless and seeking
My life lacks all meaning
Cursed to live another day
Constant yet fleeting a cycle
Repeating I fear
I’ll do this until the end of days
I ushered in fire, fed from the heard gave birth to desires
Salt the soul with the blood of the unworthy
Their whispering forked tongues feed the fetid soil and the mangled roots
If you chop off the serpents head
The body writhes and squirms but the bastard snake will remain dead
Now empowered I scour your eyes for greed or lust
The stench of lies has now become your putrid musk
I have found profound differences between us
The grounds we share is blackened now
Returned to Dust
Seeding your willows root of lies whilst you rashly wrought this treason
Deprived of your sense of sight,
A heinous fate for a life
Rending flesh and bone and tendon alike
Conceited liar, contempt inspired
To suffer those whom do possess, the slightest ounce of ignorance
I’d purge the tongue of treachery with fire
To rid salaciousness
Necrotic, Demonic, An effigy to perjure catatonic
A falsifier of flesh branded
I have seen you lie, deceive, falsify
Conceited vermin filth
Just a twisted liar
A sick defiler
I have no need to suffer this,
No patience left for Ignorance
Face down an exaltation proclaimed as my right
Base forms in the moonless night
I proceed to perceive a million synchronicities between a demon and a servant of divinity
I have commingled with demons consorted with contorted souls
Arise, my morning star
Languish in this hell, Ive wrought
Defiling all your private thoughts
Weaving a widows web of lies whilst exhuming thought and reason
You’d thrive at home in the ninth, flayed and branded for life
This wretched curse now proclaimed as your rite
Falsifier, a sick desire.
To suffer those whom do possess, the slightest ounce
Of Ignorance
I’d purge the tongue of treachery with fire
To rid salaciousness
Necrotic, Demonic, An effigy to perjure catatonic
A falsifier of flesh branded
An abhorrent and vile degradation of health
You cheapen your morals and values just to prove your fucking yourself
Dead on the ground
Sever the spine, Deceiver
