A darkened vision of a cross, consumed by time, covered by frost. The meek are gone - inherited by the earth as nourishment. Tell us Father, who art on earth - is this all our pain was worth? This last confession, much like our first: we don't fear dying, only birth. No retrospection or final plea will change our fate eternally. Let us pretend, for what it's worth, that some being to us gave birth: my wickedness a cursed design, a seed implanted and fed by time. Our lust for carnage (and the pleasure stemmed) a gift from god, father of sin. NOTHING, NO ONE, EVER PERISHES COMPLETELY. FROM MAN TO WORM, A CORPSE IS A TEMPORARY FORM. Now the end-times begin. Soon my hellbound soul will transcend. The portal is open, I will be the first to go.

Borne In A Corpse

Rancid spawn, gestating in the womb, a nascent violence (corpse-bound brood). It feeds among the silphids and the blowflies - abomination! Heir to the tomb! Contorted limbs scraping at the flesh, hideous form (a life to detest). Now unleashed it hunts for our kind. The end of man, the end of time. WE HAVE CRAFTED OUR OWN DEMISE IN OUR IMAGE, BY DESIGN. A CHILD FED BY OUR OWN ROTTING FLESH, BORNE IN A CORPSE THROUGH OUR CONFLICT IT SPREADS. Carnivore of the highest degree, a merciless undying breed. The last extinction, The last deep breath before our species is put to death. Unlocked terror, ancient fiend, our blood is only good to feed - mortal shells now doubling as cradles for the next disease. As it crawls forth from the shadows and consumes the light we can only fall to our knees and claw out our eyes. The new world is here, the old world has ceased to exist. The new world is here, our future has ceased to exist.

Delimbed

Night air freezes deep inside my bones. Something's with me, lurking. I'm not alone. Panic sets in, an eldritch sensation, shadows rise up as tendrils around my skin. The horror is here - there's nowhere to go. Ghastly future exactly as they foretold. Teeth like needles, rancid and decayed, a thousand eyes seeking out my pain. Hung by hooks and dragged into the gloom. Fetid chamber - ageless sulfurous tomb. Rendered hopeless, the only sound their hooks sharpening on the prisons gore-stained walls. TORN TO PIECES IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. DELIMBED WHILE STILL ALIVE. Hundreds slaughtered, millions more to come. Gods of murder rejoice in our misfortune. Earth a wasteland, a cemetery. Oceans filled with blood, realm of The Adversary. Strapped to the table and shed of my skin. Slowly dissected and ripped limb by limb. Blood pooling darkly in oceans of red. Disarticulated and left for dead.

Carnaticum

The time has finally come - we've reached the end of our line. Fast approaching doom on a rapid decline. We've harvested all that there is and drained the planet bare. We're breathing poison and determined to never care. BURY YOUR CHILDREN IN GRAVES FILLED WITH WATER AND FOSSIL FUEL. LET THE HOMO SAPIENS GREED DISAPPEAR WITH NO PANOPLY. LET US BLEED THE EARTH 'TIL ITS DRY - WE WON'T BE HERE TO DEAL WITH IT. AND IF THE PLANET NEVER BREATHES AGAIN, WE WON'T BE HERE TO GIVE A SHIT. On earth our god has risen- a foul, petulant rogue. The fauna our Asherah - us the savage odious groom. No foresight was required to slaughter everything. But god forbid the horror trophic shift will surely bring. The low light hides the beings - assassins sent to clean. For ages we've been the fiend, elevated o'er all living things. No longer we reign. Criminals - we're all on trial, our defenses infantile. Humility a foreign term, fuck the facts we'll never learn.

Closing the Vein

Caught in the throes of a crippling need. Breathe the miasma, give into the greed. The line was once drawn but has long been erased. With nothing to live for there is no malaise. (DEAD EYES SEEING NOTHING) YOUR ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS HELL IS IN CLOSING THE VEIN. (IT STALKS YOU, WAITING, CRAVING) IT KNOWS YOU WILL LET IT FEED. In the blackened pit of your soul a realm of hate. Chasing down the serpent it gives all you want to take.

Abandon the Body
03:20

|

Brutal torture - existing in a fugue - spirit torn to shreds and splintered from abuse. Trapped on earth (a witness to the end) watching as the portal opens and our world descends. Blow the seventh horn, chaos is reborn. A light from above illuminating all of our decay. Take the blade in your hand. Bathe in the Styx and set yourself free. BURN YOUR GARDEN, ERASE ALL CREATION, THE FLESH IS A BURDEN - EMBRACE IMMOLATION. Eternal black, I've crossed the great divide. Reborn as an agent of the harvesters of life. No longer bound by the flesh or all its weight, abandoning the body to erase my mortal state.

Colossal

Violent waves, poor man's games. Will they ever forgive me? Darkened skies, blood red tide - god be with me. Amputated, annihilated, left to die on your own. Cerebral hemorrhage, final image as we all slip away. Dragged into the depths. Released into the abyss. Dragged down to our deaths. Drown everyone in the depths. No way out, blood reflected in the clouds. Scattered remains collect in the murk. The Beast has come, come for me. Ready to die, the darkness of death sets you free. Colossal.
