Troubled tankard guide my hand
Weathered soldier's contraband
What a wicked game you play
Leading prophets' minds astray
Anchors rusted, rotten, weak
Release your hold
Let me be free!
Core is cracking, seep and spill
Veins invaded purging still
Head already fits the noose
But I would be lying if I said I didn't
Crave your sacrifice
Dream of your demise
By the hand of no pawn made to fall
But a King
Pressure pulse petrify,
Fingers coil titan grip,
Pummel and strip,
Nails bend and split,
Bloodied curb stifling the outcry
Vomit and grin,
Abandoned skin,
Mediocre death rattle
Midas satisfy my need
Solidified in bliss and greed
Screams fall on deaf ears no more
No more
Hail to the King
Hail to the King
Neck is fusing with the noose
Behold your creation
Born from your sacrifice
Preserved in your demise
This is my design

Surrogate

Mind-flaying masochist
A reticulating system
Hiveminds' involution
An eradication mission
Your request I accept
Bleed my sweet sickness to fruition
Unleash the Beast
Let it reign
Enter Theseus
Dragged through life
By dread and despair
Enough is enough
Now what do we have here?
Let's welcome our brave hero
Swelling surrogate
Play my game
Our fearless warrior Disarmed
Engulfed in pure disorder
A gleaming gallery of lost frames guide
Hear me Theseus
You should have known better than them
The mind can only buckle bow and bend so far
Frantic flesh
Stripped from bone
Crush the cord
Rise to your role
Entrails cradled in heavy hands
Torn limb from limb
Fly black flag fly
Cheers to your mediocre martyr
Discarded
Conductor of collision
All will know my name

The Lurch

Creeping cattle branded blinded
Gristle-minded gagged and bound
Blinkered ego bloated force-fed
Dank distorted wailing walls
Cage and chains remain cemented
Smeared between your coiling curdled lies
Say I'm decaying stained demented
Combing through fragmented skies
Do you hear me now?
Do you hear me now?
Tables have turned
Pedestals crumble
Unveiling of scar tissue smile
(Butcher's Luck, Pucker up!)
From this screaming soiled pit spills the shit you spit
Claws contorting as you crawl
Cage and chains remain cemented
Smeared between your coiling curdled lies
Say I'm decaying stained demented
Combing through fragmented skies
Do you hear me now?
Do you hear me now?
Cage and chains remain cemented
Leaking, reeking masses tell no lies
Say I'm decaying, stained?!
Fester in this mess you've made
Flesh fit only for the flies
Do you hear me now?

Of Sinew and Sin
07:41
|
|||
|
A mounting mass of sorry souls
Deafened by aged agonal throes
Fermenting framework
Howling haemorrhage
Primordial foundation groans
Writhing, riddled disgrace
Unravel their stories carved into the waste
A colliding chorus of carriers cast
Chords of confession
Cacophony of pasts
The harbinger of Karma reigns
Abiding ossified at one with the throne
Rise Yama!
To the clamour of corrupted company
Unspoken truths silently spill
From mangled mouths, agape
They bleed and breed
Tormented tapestries
The core contorts beneath their weight
A slither of the faintest light
Director of departed
Gnawing noose in hand
Tears into the mosaic
Of Sinew and Sin
Beneath their weight
The chasm cries as the damned
Claw and clot
Mighty mace to tame the festering flock
Engorged emergence permeates
Harrowing howls announce their fate
The severed scape begins to quake
Writhing, riddled disgrace
Unravel their stories carved into the waste
A colliding chorus of carriers cast
Chords of confession
Cacophony
Retribution presides
The pit splits, divides
Aimlessly flailing
Ceaseless demise
Wrenched from the fall
Woven into the walls
Rupture bites, silence strikes
Wandering the halls
