Oh, The Fallen Way
03:16

I wake up in my room
Alone again
I cling to the echoes
Of my dreams
For there I am surrounded
By friends
Before they fade back
To memory
So I crown myself
With Sorrow
And lament the loss
Of sleep
I hang my head
In my hands
And I weep, and weep
And weep
I get up and put on
My slippers
I climb down the mountain
Spine of stairs
The atmosphere sends me
A shiver
And the shadows have me
Running scared
So I'll hide away
My treasures
And withhold
The light of day
I'll scorn all joy
And pleasure
And I'll make my
Home of clay

A Door

It was the first time that we spoke
I remember still
You had a fragrance and a look
My blood was spilled
I count the days since we met
With smiles that wilt
You summon sorrow and regret
But it's my hilt
I walk the desert now
With my camel will
Decry the tears I would have wept
Through my gills.
I follow in the footsteps
Of mountain hills
I hope I make the steep ascent
I've heard it kills
Spiders creeping through my hair
With fear I'm filled
I curse the land on which I sit
My veins are chilled

Culling of the Worm
02:09
|

Hollowed by darkness
Harrowed by rage
Broken by longing
And hate-fixed gaze
Rise now before me
Failure tainted worm
Wretched writhing maggot
Of universal spurn
"You are become me
By providence divine
Eaten up with blindness
To writhe by my side
Heaven has abandoned you
Left you here to rot
Your prayers are but an effigy
Of covenants long since forgot
Drown yourself in hopelessness
Wallow in despair
Dust shall be your nourishment
And weakness you heir
God has appointed me this task
Misery within
An endless spring of uselessness
Vanity and sin
Contemplate your mortal sorrow
The gnawing pangs of doubt
Meaningless whirl of torment
Wafting ash about"
I am not your servant
For you are the slave of all
I am not become you
But give you voice to fall
Heed now the voice of your master
Release all that you hold dear
Return now to oblivion
With your dread and your fear
Let the silence of darkness be broken
Let it enter into the silence of light

The Convalescent

Stay away
Can't you see that I'm bleeding
On the side
Fade away
Can't you feel that I'm needing
Like a child
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all
Tilt your face
Show the side that believes in
My name
Come the day
One of us will be eaten
Or flayed
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all
Keep it all to yourself
Choke on your hatred
My dear
You must be out of your head
All you see are your demons
Not me
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all
And it's alright to feel it all
It's alright to feel at all

Death of the Slave Gods
02:56
|

They'll feed it down
Through tubes and sounds
Again
Into the trough
We're eating of
Within
And so they preach
Weakness and disease
Because they need their food
To crawl on its knees
With step and sign
We'll fall in line
They say
The animal
Is pitiful
And debased
Hypnotic waves
Breaking and unknown
Leaving us
Aching and alone
There's help and hope
In other spells
Bahlasti! Ompehda!
I banish the shells
Abrahadabra;
The reward of Ra Hoor Khu
There is division hither homeward
A word is not known
Spelling is defunct
All is not aught
Beware, hold, raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit
Let it first be understood
That I am a god of war and of vengeance
I shall deal hardly with them
Choose ye an island
Fortify it
Dung it about with enginery of war
I will give you a war engine
And with it ye shall smite the peoples
And none shall stand before you
Lurk, withdraw, upon them!
This is the law of the battle of conquest
Thus shall my worship be about my secret house
Amen
