ASHES OF PERILAUS

In preparation for the feast
A ceremony to the king 
A salute to the Brazen Bull
Whose reign the end shall bring!

Feasting on the finest flesh 
Without recrimination 
Roasted in the Brazen Bull 
Alive without salvation 

The body reduced to incense 
Shining like jewels on a bracelet
The screams of the dying --  a melody
So haunting one cannot erase it 

Feasting on the finest flesh
Without any indignation 
Roasted alive in the Brazen Bull
Lost with no hope of salvation 




 

SCAPHISM

The sin of gazing at a prince

Taken as insolence

Sentenced to the boats!

There is no escape


Force-fed milk and honey

Wedged between the hulls

Left to rot in the sun

Nowhere but within left to run


Over the course of a fortnight

Wasp maggot fly worms infest

The hapless human is consumed

Left putrefying under a seething mass


An orgy of self-immolation


The sin of gazing at a prince

Taken as insolence

Sentenced to the boats

There is No escape


Force-fed milk and honey

Wedged between the hulls

Left to rot in the sun

Nowhere but within left to run


In this execution lies

The ideal motivation

To those who survive

Look dead ahead

And never question!

HARUSPEX

Divinator of slit guts

Chiromancer of the lost

Psychic medium

Fortune teller

Dagger readied

Sharpened and serrated

On the table

Muzzled screams


Bound and bloody

Viscera emptied


Slit gut diviner

Spoiled liver dream

Manipulator

Putrescent regime


Facing sickness

Reflecting vice

Haggard and wretched

Intestines sliced


Razored hands reaching out stretched

Grasping  in desperate appeal


Divinator of slit guts

Chiromancer of the lost

Psychic medium

Fortune teller

Dagger readied

Sharpened and serrated

On the table

Muzzled screams


Bound and bloody

Viscera emptied


Slit gut diviner

Spoiled liver dream

Manipulator

Putrescent regime



lyrics -  Thornswrath

VIRULENT

The cutting prow  and far beneath

Darkness unfurls   held at bay

Above the wretched surface howls

A storm protects the day


The wind that screams above

Whiplash cracks to open sky

Fingers clutching eye sockets

Clouds darken the mind


Inbred

Virulent

Hydra

Divinities

Inbred

Virulent

Hydra

Divinities



Leviathan awakens

Cracking open wide

Coming up for us

Nowhere left to hide

Divine!



Electromagnetic skies 

Turn our heads and bend the mind

Connecting pulses to the spine

Revelations of a fate

Fury love and hate

Welcome the fallen sky

Something violent testing us

From deep within divine



Inbred

Virulent

Hydra

Divinities


lyrics  -Thornswrath 

BORN DEFORMED

Dysmorphological 

never reformed 

Teratogenesis 

genetic mutation 

Bestowed second sight 

pathogenic intemperance 

In discrimination 

the fittest survive 

Born deformed 

Never reformed 

Dislocated orientation 

a lethal injection 

to the norm 

Bestowed second sight 

materialized third eye 

In discrimination 

The fittest survive 

Born deformed 

Never reformed 

Pupils dilated 

Shown a new form 

Genetic mutation

Born deformed

lyrics  -Thornswrath

FLAYING DISAMBIGUATION

Insanity plea

Diagnosed schizo!

Mentally unfit

Therefore not guilty!


Dressed in a cemetery skin

The cephalectomy will begin

After playful exhumation

Flaying disambiguation


Belt of nipples made

Bone carved into bowls

Human face lamp shade

Bedposts made of skulls


Decorations with a smile

Scalps are tossed onto the pile

Necrotic consecration

Flaying disambiguation


Insanity plea

Diagnosed schizo!

Mentally unfit

Therefore not guilty!


Human face lamp shade

Bedposts made of skulls

Aprons of skin made

Harvesting lost souls
