Years wandering the now ragged scrum, Never knew what they would become Sleep by day and hide from the sun, Once seekers now prey on the run The arid plain they’ve traveled so long, Something looming in the east at dawn Pressing forward through the day, headstrong, Towering in the distance multifarious prongs Stone seracs, sentinels on the barren plain, Land of ghosts, only limestone towers remain A sojourn on a pilgrimage to attain, power storied, known only to the slain Lightning tears a blaze in the northern sky, Towers explode, boulders fall and dive Seekers cower, there’s nowhere to hide, Numbers diminished, crushed brothers die Invade, Migrate, Occupy, Permeate The blood meridian brings the beginning and the end Roles will reverse, times a hole, ouroboros our old friend Degraded from the onslaught The pilgrims have no fight Surrendering their living shells They’re filled with demon light Stone conduits eating electric light, Energy illuminates every obelisk in sight Beams shine upward to the tenebrous night, Wraiths signaled, drawn to the unholy site Mortals surrounded, sea of specters, Fighting for scant human husks, receptors Defenseless men lacking shield or protector, An exchange of souls flowing like stygian nectar Invade, Migrate, Occupy, Permeate The blood meridian brings the beginning and the end Roles will reverse, times a hole, ouroboros our old friend Wraiths lay waste, On the barren plain Where strangely luminous, Monoliths remain Degraded from the onslaught, The pilgrims have no fight Surrendering their living shells, They’re filled with demon light Withdraw, Migrate, Depart, Evacuate Invade, Migrate, Occupy, Annihilate

Summoner 04:19
Bleed the sacrifice, let it pour upon the altar The summoned stand resolute, their will, will not falter Floating eyes in the depth of hooded cloaks, the summoned have been chosen Their blood shall open the portal, where illuminated mist blows in The summoner lurks Beyond the threshold The summoner stands Awaiting its release Inverted bodies bound by bare feet, the altar is the lock to the gate The vessel fills with sacrificial blood, egressing the goat of the scape Fated ritual of untold exploit, Surrendering vitality for a veiled cause Departed aeons will at length culminate, the universe withdraws The summoner lurks Beyond the threshold The summoner stands Awaiting its release The summoner lurks Beyond the threshold The summoner stands Awaiting its release The summoner’s arrived The threshold yawning The summoner walks through the gate, all light is swallowed The aether quivers, nothing follows The summoner walks through the gate, all light is swallowed The aether quivers, nothing follows The summoner walks through the gate, all light is swallowed The universe withdraws, the great void follows The summoner’s arrived The threshold yawning The summoner’s come The portal agape

Projection 07:13
Beyond the curtain the projection fades Eternally traveling changing shades Gleaming light flickers forming our realities In the nucleus of darkness our thoughts scream At the moment light is extinguished where will we be Losing our illumination in the end we are free Melting faces blister, boil and drip Sloughing skin reforms and shifts A mangled projection as the curtain rips Seeing the perverted veil the candle eclipsed Projecting existence upon a unstable screen Wavering images through a lucid dream Unreal forecast of a world unknown unseen The projector a shadowed existential being Once a mirror the lake becomes an illusory sight Reflections once perfect feel torrid a visual blight Motionless waters malformed by a skipping stone Dementia twists reality creating the unknown Projecting existence upon a unstable screen Wavering images through a lucid dream Unreal forecast of a world unknown unseen The projector a shadowed existential being Beyond the curtain the projection fades Eternally traveling changing shades Pyroclastic images rise and fall Shimmering mirages beckon and call What is seen a refraction of light Behind the curtain is the endless night Melting faces blister, boil and drip Sloughing skin reforms and shifts A mangled projection as the curtain rips Seeing the perverted veil an apocalypse Projecting existence upon a unstable screen Wavering images through a lucid dream Unreal forecast of a world unknown unseen The projector a shadowed existential being

Sloe 07:56
Fleeing, thorns tear at the skin Followed, shape changing at a whim Coddled, nothing known of the wild Cadaverous, shrouded as a child Clandestine, bel-esprit defiled Conspirator, shape changing all the while Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face A shape forever changing, soon it will erase Enfeebled, years of affected light Extralinguistic, naught but sounds in the night Adulation, no matter how fiery Achromatic, unaffected entirely Amorphous, a creeping topiary Aggregate, shape changing, lapidary Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face A shape forever changing, soon it will erase Trepidation, blood soaked strips of cloth Transmutation, shape changing and wroth Perspiration, ravenous fetid and sour Pursuing, intent to devour Paralyzing, prey outdone will cower Propagation, abuse of power Swimming through the blackthorn, a red mist trailing Shape changing as it gains, evil is prevailing Shadows bleed from sunken eyes, swallowing the face A shape forever changing, soon it will erase Nameless and faceless, forever unknown Silent and formless, a cosmic drone

Lantern Eyed 08:48
Pointing to the earth and to the sky Commanding a legion malign Before she could remember the fire was in her heart The never dying embers drove her to perfect her arts Learning from the elders that wanted their wisdom to endure From them she kept sheltered her mind and desires of the impure Tomes she devoured of alchemy, incantations and spells A knowledge of power, drinking deeply from arcane wells An apprentice to sculptors, a necessary skill she must hone Inanimate sculptures, Ka will soon inhabit the forms of stone Under her watch, lantern eyed Over the congregation she presides Pointing to the earth and to the sky Commanding a legion malign Hammer and chisel giving birth to a host of solid stone Hewn from the earth the likenesses of something grotesque and unknown Attending the figures in her hidden quarry, with an elixir of life she anoints Preparing for the upheavals glory, downwards and upwards she points Pointing to the earth and to the sky Commanding a legion malign Decades of study and practice in preparation of a single event Seemingly born with a dark purpose and malicious intent Her life never veering from its course, the lefthand path The earth will tremble with force when she lets loose her creatures wrath Under her watch, lantern eyed Over the congregation she presides Pointing to the earth and to the sky Commanding a legion malign Hammer and chisel giving birth to a host of solid stone Hewn from the earth the likenesses of something grotesque and unknown Attending the figures in her hidden quarry, with an elixir of life she anoints Preparing for the upheavals glory, downwards and upwards she points Silently sitting empty vessels, waiting for the time to be filled An elixir from mortar and pestle, her great work to be willed Invocation of legion in the sculptures of stone Ka inhabits her creations, maiden, mother and crone

Nor'easter 07:51
We awoke that morning with the wind rippin’ ‘cross the land Seeing trees undulate and fail like castles of sand Leaves lamented, branches breaking and we heard the rending sound Their roots were torn from the earth and they came crashing down Boreas and Eurus have become enraged Nor’easter, spawning a cyclone of an age Gods of the wind are at war taking what is their will Dryads homes destroyed, will the gale ever still Boreas and Eurus have become enraged Nor’easter, spawning a cyclone of an age Stealing our breath and our souls As the mighty tempest rolls Blood vessels constrict, hearts slow Minds unwind as the winds blow We awoke that morning with the wind rippin’ ‘cross the land Seeing trees undulate and fail like castles of sand Leaves lamented, branches breaking and we heard the rending sound Their roots were torn from the earth and they came crashing down Boreas and Eurus have become enraged Nor’easter, spawning a cyclone of an age Stealing our breath and our souls As the mighty tempest rolls Blood vessels constrict, hearts slow Minds unwind as the winds blow

Magog 04:50
Tumult consumes our being Marbled eyes, empty vessels This mindless throng is teeming Through our veins like blood cells Swallowed up becoming one Man and mud baking in the sun 100,000 years by the earth baptized Silence is broken as the creatures arise Precipitation at the precipice Terra firma is lost The great plateau becomes formless The gods of the hive are for naught Bursting from thirsty cracked dirt Crawling from putrid bogs The ground is giving birth In the land of Magog Swallowed up becoming one Man and mud baking in the sun 100,000 years by the earth baptized Silence is broken as the creatures arise

Kaleidoscope 07:11
Searchers gathered where planes meet the trees Like a cliff at the edge of the sea Looking for answers to what they’ve seen Cryptic glowing lights arousing curiosity Lights dance with muted color, Spinning forms morph into one another Will o the wisps in the distance hover, Deep in the pines illuminated cloud cover Tales told by those who dwell near the wood What is heard and seen is not understood Chanting whispers for wheels ride the winds It comes swirling, it passes and comes back again Lights dance with muted color, Spinning forms morph into one another Will o the wisps in the distance hover, Deep in the pines illuminated cloud cover A stench grew the deeper into the woods they trekked Forgotten path, not knowing what to expect Retreating hooves breaking silence in the pines Geometric patterns careen becoming entwined Padded footfalls across the forest duff, Bare feet calloused and rough Silent stalkers watchers in the woods, Keepers of knowledge robed with hoods Searchers stumbling into the swamp to their waists Trapped in confusion, from the sucking bog no escape The watchers always hidden, masters of light and shape Showing the intruders a revolving reflection until their minds break Padded footfalls across the forest duff, Bare feet calloused and rough Silent stalkers watchers in the woods, Keepers of knowledge robed with hoods The kaleidoscope ever changing Minds unformed rearranging Angles break and come together What is was never

Mines 08:00
Broken minds, lolling eyes, Out of the swamp they rise Vacuous, followers, Like subservient kurs Behind the watchers, Walking up the stream waters Ascending the ravine, Enter through the waterfalls screen Watchers, robes and hoods, Enter the mines out of the woods Light fades in the portal, Mortals hound the immortal Deeper down, into the earth, A glowing light an ageless curse Dripping sweat, waves of heat, Decaying odors sickly and sweet Watchers feeding, Those who dwell below Sacrifices seeing, Their blood will soon flow Brightening, shadows defined, Written on the walls sigils and signs Slowly spinning with light behind, Knowledge transmitted to mortal minds The adit comes to an end, A shaft like the earth’s mouth open Off the edge, one by one, The ritual harvesting has begun Watchers feeding, Those who dwell below Sacrifices seeing, Their blood will soon flow Torn skin, broken bones, Some remain alive, they’re not alone The cistern, cavernous, Above the water Will o the wisps On the ceiling, dancing light, Spinning forms a sickly sight Eaters surface, teeth and eyes, Ready to devour the sacrifice Watchers feeding, Those who dwell below Sacrifices seeing, Their blood will soon flow Watchers feeding, Those who dwell below Sacrifices seeing, Their blood will soon flow

Deep in the earth darkness surrounds a glowing light of crimson and a faint pulsing sound Aeons entombed, like night darkness enshrouds, waiting for the time and place when it will be found Time on its side, waiting patiently to arise Older than the father and mother of the universe Older than the sister and brother of time an ageless curses Older than any other older and so much worse Traveling across the galaxies, a blight on all nothing but a disease Trapped deep in the earth a billion years ago, it can never die, it does not live but it grows Time on its side, waiting patiently to arise Time on its side, waiting patiently to arise Older than the father and mother of the universe Older than the sister and brother of time an ageless curses Older than any other older and so much worse Calling out to a host man or animal, an imitation a thing wholly unnatural Time on its side, waiting patiently to arise Feeding on life, an eater devouring corrupted souls, in the deep a sleeper like smoldering coals Drawing in its prey slowly, its in no rush, upon release it will spread like fire through dry brush Time on its side, waiting patiently to arise

Spherical 04:41
Purpose obliterated non-exist Non-sentient being mindless Spherical being adrift in space Spherical void in its place Directionless movements never cease In a state of unending release Purpose obliterated non-exist Non-sentient being mindless In concert the earth, sun and moon Celestial orbits play a silent tune In the harmony of the spheres Vacuum of space between so no one hears Beyond dimensional constraints Extraneous matter accelerates Transmigration of the soul Venerate numerological In concert the earth, sun and moon Celestial orbits play a silent tune In the harmony of the spheres Vacuum of space between so no one hears Spherical being adrift in space Spherical void in its place Directionless movements never cease In a state of unending release In concert the earth, sun and moon Celestial orbits play a silent tune In the harmony of the spheres Vacuum of space between so no one hears
