Of Ruin

She hears a heavy beating upon the door of her apothecary
Standing in the threshold a group of men evil intent
One man stands above the rest
A crucifix around his neck
And a tome in his hand
With a gleam in his eye
And a grin on his face
He levels the charge
You are in league with Satan
In a flash of light a dizzying smoke screen she flees
Torches aloft pursuing to punish ungodly deeds
Giving chase into the woods
They have underestimated her
And the dark power she holds
Leading them into a trap
Opening her mandibles wide
She swallows them whole
Ensuring their end
Within an instant as she halts they surround her leaving no escape
Little did they know they were racing to their doom
With the devil in her eyes and a grin on her face she calls out his name
A deepening rumble in response
The earth beneath their feet cracks and shatters
Sprouting forth demonic hands grasping each man
After being dragged to hell screams will ring for eternity
For mercy they will beg and plea to a deaf God
Silence is all that remains of the sheep a parting gift
She returns to her apothecary with a devilish grin

Doom Incarnate
03:57
|

Four seals on the scroll in his hand have broken
Punishments of your God ride forth
Bringing with them instruments of pain, suffering, and madness
A deserving gift from your everloving God
Their presence signals the beginning of the end
A taste of the eternal torment to come
Unending misery for those unwashed, unclean, and doomed
An everloving gift from your omnipotent God
The first horse to appear is white and diseased bringing with it pestilence
The second is red and caked in blood lusting for war
The third is black and emaciated signaling everlasting hunger
The last to ride is pale and ashen
Hell follows him
A procession of beasts and demons accompany the Pale Rider
Sent forth to bring absolute destruction to all sinners and heathens
Your God watches from the heavens above smiling as those he loves are torn limb from limb
Demons and beasts instruments of punishment
For the end of times for the culling
The riders bring doom incarnate
When all non believers are left to rot
Outside the warmth of his light
God and his son will rejoice in the limitless suffering
It’s all a part of his plan
The first horse to appear is white and diseased bringing with it pestilence
The second is red and caked in blood lusting for war
The third is black and emaciated signaling everlasting hunger
The last to ride is pale and ashen
Hell follows

In The Maw Of The Beast
04:09
|
|||
I travel to the forests and the lakes of the north
To pursue an ancient predator
She lurks in the deep and spawns in the shallows
Built to consume all that would cross her path
Teeth like knives and razors
Her hunger cannot be desensitized or quantified
The lure will be cast afar
Within her fanged majesty’s grasp
Flashing the light and the dark
She will strike and the hook will be set deep in her maw
A battle will ensue
Between man and beast
Pulling the line that's spooled
She will twist and fight
So she might save her life
As she nears the boat
Her cold and empty eyes
Lock sight with mine
Her torpedo body thrashes and in a blink she's gone

Birth Of A New Light
04:18
|

One million light years away from home
One million light years away
It was a clear and moonless night, air heavy with summer
Fast asleep in my trailer on the river
A thunderous boom a flash of light interrupted my slumber
My bedroom shook I could hear the river rushing
Unearthly light poured through the windows
Blind and in fear I was ripped from my home
Light as a feather
Gently floating upwards
My consciousness cut out
I came to bathed in light, immobilized, and suspended
Surrounded by slender silhouettes peering at their experiment
The pain was instant
Immobilizing
I was at their mercy
On the brink of dying far from home
One million light years away
One million light years away from home
My consciousness exploded forth
Just like a flame held to a torch
Their grasp had let go
Crumpled on the floor left all alone
I could sense a new light burning deep inside my mind
A new power a new strength to rule mankind
To rule mankind
Upon my return from the heavens
I will destroy
I will rebuild
I will remake in my image

Dismember And Devour
05:42
|
|||
A hunger rumbles deep inside my guts
It's been awhile I need to feed
My throat is dry I require copious amounts of ale
I have not eaten since lunch
A pain too great to bear
I force all those around me
To share in my despair
I will be tempted with lesser snacks
They will not satiate
Bottomless hunger devours me
Bring me the goddamn wings
Snap the bones
Tear at the succulent flesh
I dismember and devour at my seat
Only make eye contact if you dare
Do not speak to me while I eat
Biting into the buffalo
Dripping gobs of blue cheese
There is great relief in me
Now that my guts are pleased
I was tempted with lesser snacks
They did not satiate
Bottomless hunger devoured me
I ate those goddamn wings
This bird has been traveling continuously throughout time and space
Little did it know it would end up here deep fried and sauced on my plate
I Dismember and devour as the apex predator
It is this way countless chickens have met their end
Once all is consumed
Empty feelings return to haunt me
I wash it down
It is all so temporary
Until next week when I dismember and devour
That delicious deep fried meat treat

Zoophagist

Silence in space is deafening
Quietly crushing my sanity
Here in the lab the creature calls
I know it can destroy us all
Controlling me I hit release
So it can absorb the deceased
Slowly approaching the stasis chamber
I have lost all control of my mind and my thoughts
Now I belong to them
With my hand on the pad I release the ancient from the prison of its slumber
Screeching alarms and broken glass break the deadly silence
Now to satiate our hunger
We hear the screams and the pleas
Makes no difference
We are released and awake ready to consume
And bring the humans to their doom
Each cell we devour
Adds to our ecstasy
Becoming a new God
Vast power brought to bear
We will devour the earth and everything under its sun
Once we arrive in Sol they won’t know
Hovering over the pale blue
Slicing the atmosphere death will loom
It will be time for us to consume
All its life

We are constantly surrounded with mindless shit
Garbage heaps are piling high we swim in it
Excess excrement from the populace
Daily dealings in superficial matters
Ads let you know you're worthless and ugly
MTV will gladly show you which turd to eat
While the news informs you everythings fucked
Its fucked
There will be no shortage
Of prepaid messages
Attempting to control
Your thoughts your mind your own self image
Open your wallet
Fork over your cash
So you may fill that crushing empty void
Temporarily
Numbing the suffering
Essence of daily existence
There is no escape
You must forge your own
Sense of deserved inner peace
Steady your mind
Ready your mind
We are constantly surrounded with mindless shit
Don't let them control you with false cognitions
Ready your mind for the grind
It's not up to them it is up to you
Ready your mind for the grind
You must fight nail and tooth to find your own inner truth
Ready your mind for the grind

Bent On Disaster
04:49
|
|||
Born into a world bent on disaster
Burning the fuse faster and faster
End of civilization is upon us
World wide inferno
Scattered elements will remain
So just pull yourself together
Eternal nuclear winter
Blurring the lines of human nature
We are all doomed here
Burn
Yet we are all viscous beasts within our hearts
Marauding packs creeping through the endless night
Small disturbances cause tensions to rise
No time to cry wipe those tears from your eyes
The children will become the symbol of the sun
Fighting off the bottom of the gene pool
Compassion is extinct survival is the rule
There is no peace
There is no rhyme
We’re out of luck
Most certainly out of time
So just pull yourself together
Eternal nuclear winter
Blurring the lines of human nature
We are all doomed here
Yet we are all viscous beasts within our hearts
Fighting of the bottom of the gene pool
Compassion is extinct survival is the rule
