Herald Of Extinction
Destroy the minds
and burn the flesh
skin the pale outlines
from dead nests
Nuclear war, disease and more
whatever it takes to kill us all
the bell has rung and can’t be undone
we can only watch the setting sun
Lie staring in your tomb
cut your wrists, kill your womb
praise the gods you all consume
prick your veins and bleed to ruin
The heralds of extinction have come
to carry away the numb
to slaughter the sun
and cloak the earth in blood

Weltschmerz
Dust
blood
rust
bones
rubble strewn across fields of grass
concrete churches toppled en masse
the fall of Rome bore down upon us
and you never saw it, nor heard the axe
Dust
blood
rust
bones
trees on fire and oceans boiling
blood soaked earth kills the soil and
washes away a chance for toiling
but I wanted to live with this poison
eradication
joyless
extinction

Creeping Desolation
Evolution mutating under virulent progression
towards the cold void of sterile procession
impotent vessels formed under pride’s dissection
rushing blindly, gnashing, in funereal directions
Adrift in vast empty catacombs, ethereal
no one cared or cried at this burial
not one tear fell at the end of this serial
blood for the authors of this threnody into hell
Creeping Desolation
Doom has curved a grip around us all
so far…so far away from what shone before
broken on the wheel in the village mall
Prone flesh fed to black wolves of war
Failure
Catatonia
Creeping Desolation

Coiled Lucifer
Vile cancer
death dancer
speaker of the truth
liar absolute
crater of impact
rests in my soul
destined for contact
with chaos incarnate
streams of thought rush
within my frayed synapses
vomit this life into the chalice
into the vessel of abraxas
serpent satan
close the books of life
crush the earth of light
serpent satan
I am the bringer of obliteration
of nuclear proliferation
of viral infestation
of cruel victimisation
of brutal intimidation
of homicidal inspiration
and the final destination…
lust and war
insatiable thirst
lust and war
killing mankind first

Solace (Bury Me With Her)
<The Angelic Spirit speaks thusly>
The days go past
but they never last
the sun fades away
the moon, too, never stays
It has been too long, my love
since I have held you to my breast
too long since I have felt your caress
oh...I ache for the heat of your breath
I will wait for you
I will wait forever
please come and join me soon
leave the living world behind you
**
<The Agonised Soul speaks thusly>
The days wound me
they cut my heart
as I cut at my flesh
a deep and cold lash
Tonight I will leave
this palace of shadows
it will be my last sunset
I will walk the grey meadows
to you…
The last letter I write
composed by cloudless night
will simply state my timeless fate
bury me with her beyond the mortals' gate
Entwined
Betrothed
