GRAVE DESECRATOR Dug up for stimulation Horrifying grave desecration Decayed pine box with a corpse inside Body parts for sick intentions Dug up for stimulation Horrifying grave desecration Take advantage of the deceased Body parts for harsh copulation A gore hounds delight the glory the might The pale shine of hair when the moon is just right Beyond necromantic the dead do not panic What I need to see is unanimated I chop the dead I start with their heads Multiple holes for me to play with I start to climax with no eye contact Fucking you seems so unreal Peeling the casket lid back Flesh molded and black Carnal indulgence attack As the bones snap and crack Crowbars to crack open the mausoleum I think how the dead might have lived when I see them The dead’s what I crave, I break into graves Corpses they don’t make a sound Fondled remains, embalming stains The smell of disgust of old rotten musk Maggot encrusted, orifices busted Your family mourns over my craft Raping the rot I will never stop Cryptic masturbator Satanic grave desecrator Insert fingers into holes that I create So cold so old penetrate behold the flesh Satanic quest for perfect ingredients Easily broken crosses can’t keep me out Inhaling the stench does not bother me Needlessly breaking coffins in just to see Peeling the casket lid back Flesh molded and black Carnal indulgence attack Bones snap and crack Manipulating the inner sensories of an unhinged and deranged psycho necrophiliac 2x

TORN EXISTENCE Murderous, bloodthirsty, obsessed with cruelty Lacking in compassion, my passion, misanthropy Alcohol, drug induced, self abuse, manslaughter Waking up as someone else, mental health regressing Arrive to consciousness completely naked Where have I been? What have I done? Cannot remember the last few days Subliminal visions hazed! Chorus: Chunks of death, mangled flesh, Buried bones, How did I get home? Loss of breath, matted mesh Shattered thoughts, can’t distinguish some Staring off into the void the creeping paranoid What to do when the truth before you is destroyed A swinging axe, run in the woods A mental puzzle with missing pieces A frantic pace, anxiety Grotesque visions of hacked up bodies Chorus: Abhorrent visions, tormented dreams Straight jacket nightmare, your head splits at the seams Awake but yet asleep, a blackout memory Things you can’t escape, a fractured reality Dried blood on your face, unconscious misery There’s a severed head in the freezer, last night’s mystery Voices the whisper into the night Telling you to go get the Knife and kill this fucking family Outside their window you shall stand Running the blade across your hand! Cut! Sirens in the distance, you’re already dead Multiple stab wounds, dagger in the head Blood squirts from your mouth, your loved ones start to scream As I become aroused, this is everything I dreamed As emotions turn to stone, whilst I defile your home I’ve entered without permission, memorized your every disposition Stalking you as feeble prey, the hunt is over on this very day The kill is the ultimate prize, so is the fear in your cold dead eyes Hung upon the mantle, execute them all one by one First I kill the father, then the mother. Axe the daughter, stab the son! Chorus: Staring off into the world, seeing the decrepit paranoid, thoughts of ending Never can understand minds of man, needs to be destroyed, nothing left of you! Countless bodies I’ve dismembered Faceless victims, can’t remember you! Violent blackout, blood red temper Countless bodies, can’t remember Violent blackout, blood red temper

FROM THE DARKEST CHASMS Breathe in the fumes emitting from the earth Dread consumed, a foresight of the truth Inevitable since birth I’m pending doom, no moral sense Unaware Enter the ever-tomb, inhaled and absorbed Floating fog of ruin Reap! From the darkest chasms of eternal blackness Realms of which you have never been The farthest reaches of my mind Seeking the horrors within Astral body travels through time Dimensions unparalleled Cosmic void of never ending negative space Within a single cell, within yourself Ancient cracks opening Miasmal inhaling From the darkest chasms of eternal blackness Realms of which you have never been Preview these visions of death inside your fucked mind Standing amongst grotesque oceans of knowledge Looping the timelines of your fragile existence Stretching the Einstein/Rosenbridge beyond imagination The crevice in the earth In crevice Forgo what you see and hear Because clairvoyance is dear Darkest path which I have chosen Perception of light is closing Living in lucid dream Many things not as they seem Smelling colors, hearing visions Tangible thoughts hands are grasping Stripped of clothing now are naked Running barefoot through a pasture Blades of grass become shards of glass In this hour glass no time has passed Warping, melting sky is cracking Atmospheric anatomic Mushroom cloud has cleared a path for all ascension, nothing’s stopping us! Us! Stopping us! Us! Need to stop this mental terror Horrors I was unaware of Earthly vapors, nuclear fission Ingesting the apparition

INFERNAL HERESY RITUAL Voices from the underworld Beckon my name Piss on your god Rejecting the sacred laws Inverting the crooked cross Destroying at any cost The holy trinity Ignorant pleas seeking salvation Asking to be internally absolved Only to be eternally ignored All this in vein Chorus: Infernal Heresy Ritual Open the portal to hell, Casting demonic spells Choking and gagging on sulfuric smells Torching and burning Fires that swell, feel the flesh peeling Ceremonies rumored to be these Ones by the sea, summoning the beast Spreading disease all while on your knees Unsuspecting ripping off the wings Repeat after me Chorus Slitting the throat of the priest Stifling the lies that they preach Sucking the blood of the leach The sun will not rise in the east Vomit! Voices from the underworld beckon my hideous name Calling me to slumber To be reborn of the flame At the stroke of midnight It burns so deep inside of you And now you must enter the darkest Pentagram and drink from the bloody chalice Unholy ritual Chorus Slitting the throat of the priest Stifling the lies that they preach Sucking the blood of the leach The sun will not rise in the east Departed soul black candles I burn Summon the beast blood for the return Behead the priest ordering the weak The blood we feast devouring the meek Delve yourself into fantasy Hailing untapped reality The gathering of unholy might Suspenseful night of satanic rites Subjective impulse to destroy Darkest tactics to employ Stabbing of the ritual knife The taking of another’s life Fuck All! A king like presence from beyond Use your vessel as a pawn Possess your body from within The ceremony shall begin The blood is flowing from the altar Piss and shit in holy water Delve yourself into fantasy Hailing untapped reality The gathering of unholy might Suspenseful night of satanic rites

FORCED DROWNING BAPTISM Taken by surprise, held against your will Led into the water, your lungs begin to fill Laying of the hands, hold you under still Cleansing of your soul it’s all god’s will The cult is seething as your breathing As its cleansing your life’s leaving Simple breeding lost all meaning Translations ripped to shreds Chorus: Cum unto the lord and see A false eternity, a true hypocrisy Only for you and me Blasphemy blessed Brother! The congregation’s anticipation For the demonstration For your life they’ll cleanse your soul Held down by the priest, on your sins they feast His will be done Writhing in unholy secretion Under the cross salvation is lost Heaven is a lie Life is flashing as your Forced drowning baptism! Chorus Under moonlight you thought no one saw you Blaspheming his name you would be wrong Woken from your slumber on a Sunday Morning after dancing before Satan Taken to the congregation for your Forced drowning baptism Blindly praising the lord over your lifeless corpse Pandering to the meek anointing the weak Anointing the weak Eyes are bulging lungs are flooding Silent process floating in your liquid coffin Never breathing all life ceasing Head forced under Feel the pressure of submerging Suffocation realization Contemplation under water funeral Forced drowning baptism Cum unto the lord and see A real falsity a true hypocrisy Horrid atrocity Blasphemy blessed

Embers 06:37
EMBERS Waste no darkness, we have the after light / Wooden crosses, pyres immaculate glow / 100 years standing (yet) fallen in one night / Bible means nothing, empty words of dead men / Hail! Hail! Fire! Fire! In seconds, structure engulfed / Red cinders kiss the black veil, crumbled steeple falls to hell / New dawn approaching and the smoke has cleared / Sundays are dead and the serpent is near / Gore filled gospels, stench filled nostrils / With lies and malice he stacks the pews / Mocking the sermons, killing the vermin / Antioch burns tonight / We watch the fire and we rejoice / For it is our choice for he has no voice / Were only heathens in this night / Gazing upon unholy light / Terror jackals ripping prey, once the flock was lead astray / Never one to obey, I control my fate / Holy man upon his knees begging for forgiveness please / Revelations plays out mentally / Smoldering salvation, embers fall on my tongue / Retribution’s price is divine / Promised land you promised me the flaming fields of prophecy / Set ablaze your sanctuary / Laying to waste your symbol of lies / Upon the cross is where your religion can die / Unanswered prayers because no one can hear your cries / Contorting truths for the hope of an afterlife / Its burning down / Terror jackals ripping prey, once the flock was lead astray / Never one to obey, I control my fate / Holy man upon his knees, begging for forgiveness please / Revelations plays out mentally / Smoldering salvation, embers fall on my tongue / Retribution’s price is divine / Promised land you promised me the flaming fields of prophecy / Set ablaze your sanctuary / Cleansing the earth of your worthless existence / You feel the fires from hell absolve your pestilence / We’ve endured centuries of keeping the plebeians ignorant / Receiving gifts of the infernal sacrament / Flesh to ash, seared in gas / Bodies impaled by the stained glass / Free at last / Will you repent as you pass / Embers of the last chapel / Consecrated as it falls / Embers of the last chapel / Through the carnage you shall crawl / Fall!

SCATTERED PUTRIFICATION Decomposed I found you scattered among the leaves / Six months after you went missing / Your carcass beginning to rot / Carrion as it gets hot / Spoiling guts and rotten parts / A masterpiece a work of art / It was all just perfect timing /Fragments right there for the finding / Notify the next of kin / Degrade! Fester! Molder! Wither! / Putrefying in the suns light / Melting in a putrid heap / Living out your wildest dreams / Met him on the internet / Never even left the bed / Starving insecurities / This is what has come to be / Bed post slave shackled to death / Victim of your loneliness / Sexual mutilation, perverse coitus / Night life, Night of your death / Gashes in the neck secrete / Reduced to a pile of meat / Cadaver is incomplete / Gestating the maggot’s feast / Upon you / Scattered in a shallow grave / Hollowed out sternum caved / Stinking vile septic decay / Never thought you would end this way / In spite of the thoughts and prayers / You found god wasn’t there / And that no one fucking cares / As we cut you into squares

DAWN OF THE CADAVER Heed the warnings, the threat is real The dead approaches for their next meal Exhumed to eat you, no after thoughts No conscious emotions to make them stop It feeds on your flesh They need gnashing teeth ripping meat Deep tissue Lacerate the sinew Gathering your weapons, searching for supplies Utilizing knowledge to make it through the night Survival is essential, existence paramount Let no moral compass bind you, save the ones you care about It’s said, experience in dread, just to shoot them in the head, Making sure they’re fucking dead, til you see that gushing red, Straight decapitated, rotten body putrid, incapacitated You’ll die before the light hits your face this life erased Beyond the graves, the lurking fear Ominous sounds from afar The living has become the prey Your way of life is no more Through night I brave the stalking copse Insatiable quest for gore Voracious feast for human flesh Dawn of the cadaver Can’t see anymore Darkness has taken my sweet vision No Peace Envious (of) the deceased They creep Paralyzed with fear you stand One must kill but can’t lift a hand Snapping out of this altered state Kill or die before it’s too late They thrive to survive by eating you alive Tearing fresh with mouths of decay Charred bodies heaped in a mass grave Again the rise their backs ablaze Choking on the dead human haze Blood red end, violent fiends Lust for skin, extinction Looking for salvation only finding salivating Undead masticating on your body Dawn of the cadaver, watching bodies splatter Like it ever really fucking mattered anyway! Mankind can’t be saved Return to the grave!

INFANCY OF BLASPHEMY All hail the lord has died / You peer through godless eyes / Thou claims to be the father / You let your son get martyred / Silence the world beyond / Religion had it’s dawn / The wretched rape has spawned / A bastard son for pawn / Confined to shapeless space / The void of nothingness / Candles burned upside down/ Shadows pull me underground / Rituals of the priest / Release the unholy beast / Malevolent your cause / The start of your downfall / You’ve cursed us all / A mass sadistic call / Behold the demise of man / Immortal plans be damned / Figures in the distance / Grey smoke reeks of death / They brings a pain divine / To the realm unknown / Baptized in shit / 2000 years of it / Your throat is slit / Spikes through your wrist / Murdered, martyred, inverted, perverted / Murdered, martyred, deserted, no resurrection / Your children scream in pain / Writhing in eternal flames / The sum of souls you lost / Can’t save at any cost / All hail the whore of lies / You peer through godless eyes / You are NOT a father / Your fucking sheep are slaughtered
