Left Hand:
Blinded by darkness
Eating the carcass
Fading away where
hands left you heartless.
A writhing, twisting and shattering bone
As I carve at the place you once turned to stone.
The hunger
Is fatal.
Temptation
able
To cut through the good sense
to run t'wards the angels.
Enraptured,
Ravaging,
Scavenging souls.
Plant deep the destruction,
Reap what you've sown.
Guided by darkness,
Terror ; Starkest.
Marking this place,
Bones hung on cypress.
Living - dead ;
No matter the form ;
Answer my calling.
The unhole ; reborn.
With eyes of perpetual darkness
I shatter the sun.
God hides beneath the full moon
As the night comes.

In Defiance of the Light
04:30

|

Left Hand:
HARKENING
TO TRANSMUTE
THE SALT OF OUR WOUNDS
TO ENTOMB
WHAT ONCE WAS.
FIGHT THE NOOSE
AS I ATE THROUGH
the heart of my womb...
I AM BORN
A TORN MAN!
waves crash
AS THE BLACK SKIES
DESCEND ON OUR HEADS.
RAW FROM
ALL OF OUR LOSES.
EVERYTHING LEFT UNSAID
EVERY REGRET
BURY
THEM WITH THE DEAD.
Maddening,
The chains that once bound the mind.
Now a weapon imbued
A rapture of pleasure and pain.
Mote it be.

Left Hand:
Animalistic ;
stench of soil and firs.
With mountainous roars, and thunderous churns.
Hollowed out caverns, a darkness that lurks.
Lying in waiting,
For nightfalls return.
Dread slowly building,
It peppers the flesh.
Try as you might -
You prolong your death.

Mother ov Sodom

|

Left Hand:
MOURNFUL -
MYSTICAL CVNT.
MOTHER OV SODOM -
OV SULFURIC HOUNDS.
BECKONING FORTH
FORKED TONGUE & HOOVES.
WITH EACH CRYPTIC WHISPER;
KNOWLEDGE EMBUED.
it lives within ; writhes in us all ;
AWAKEN.

A Hymn for the Hangman
03:47
|
|
||
Left Hand:
Gasping - For Air.
My tourniquet, holdfast.
Mutiny - In Despair -
Cups aflush with wine.
Endless - Spiral.
Concubine, the temptress.
Lovers - Hang There,
Singing to the hangman.
FOOLISH; WE ARE THE FORTUNATE.
DESERTERS; DESERVE UNHOLY DEATH.
Carried the strength of 1000 men.
(in the dark, I soon forget)
I AM THE HANGMAN!

Left Hand:
EYES; Fixed on the depths of this hopelessness.
ARISE; In all this emptiness.
Despise yourself.
Your sin ;
From it
You cannot hide.
Darkness Smiles;
COWARD.
SEWN SHUT-
MOUTH AND EYES.
My body talking; Every nerve - listening.
I hear it calling; Right here - a reckoning.
Brutal assault, Self-Flagellation.
Rip me apart; I AM THE MEDICINE.
Walls begin talking; My heart is listening.
Floors giving way; I feel it beckoning.
Holy assault; Self-Strangulation.
Spread me apart; Force fed the medicine.
The feeling of fading away,
A feeling; it's only a taste.
Trapped in this place; set ablaze,
A maze - where the weak are enslaved.
LEFT HERE TO ROT
BEHIND PADDED WALLS
THE MADNESS
BUILDING
UP COBBLESTONE.
TEAR OPEN
TATTERED EYES
TO GAZE
UPON
THE FIRES
OF HELL.
CARVE IN HIM
A LASTING SMILE.
GIFTED
WITH ETERNAL
LIFE.

Left Hand:
Malevolence, eats 'way at the mind.
Clock ticking down, enshrouding time.
A black cloak envelopes, Clouding the heart.
No End ; No Beginning.
Return To Dust.
A malady, the cruelest infection.
Bastardly spawn, inbred misdirection.
Splayed mind on the table, flaying the thought.
Firm-grasp-Holy-Father:
SPREAD THE ROT.
WE HARVEST THE BONES
A DISTANT ABOMINATION
OF UNWORTHY ANCESTRY
UNDESERVING OF REVERENCE
OR ALLEGIANCE;
OF REFERENCE.
RENOUNCE THEM.
SPIT ON THE DEAD!
IN OPEN-COFFIN MOCKERY;
RITUALISTIC PENANCE;
IN PISS AND SHIT.
