1. Intro
2. The Grey Man
It will start with an invitation, and who would guess the truth?
Nightmare juxtaposition, I'll lead off your child and need no proof
Tiny hands so trusting held in utter evil's thrall
But the innocent is the grey man's now and I'll love her like I loved them all
Consume her as I did them all?
"First I stripped her naked.
How she did bite and scratch..."
Crying supplication and familial appeal
Childish retaliation cannot overcome the beast
You may bite the hand that eats you but you won't survive the meal
And I may not fuck the virgin but she will become my feast
How sweet her little ass will taste?
"I choked her to death.
Then cut her in small pieces so I could take my meat."
The blood thirst overwhelms me
Cruciform fixation, indescribably insane
Deluded aberration, angels must condone these acts
Such brutal flagellation, God must be to blame
Pin cushion perversion, subvert the lightning's wrath
Sane, insane, matters not, regardless the grey man's dead at last
3. Controlopolis (Rats In The Mask)
Cry freedom
Misleading through eternity
Mealy mouthed control freak frauds
Bleak relief in ivory
So bleak
Break the mechanism
Set aside the frail untruth
Take control of inborn rights
Pay back ten fold the abuse
Pay Back
They'll strip you down to number and a card
And all cry freedom, all codes be disbarred
In the controlopolis
Checked and balanced, fully unaware
Lucid yet transparent
As clockwork savages
Rats in the mask
Can be just one step away
Gaps in the armour of all oppressive states
Long knives of final liberty
Repress control eradication
Deaths of millions in the three pronged strike
Triple tyrant - paranoid sham
Tithe and tite will wait for no man
Commitment a myth, and live to deceive
Serve self the only law, permit no reprieve
In the controlopolis
Checked and balanced, fully unaware
Lucid yet transparent
As clockwork savages
Rats in the mask
Are always just one step away
4. Killing Music
You incubate despicable rancorous seed
No thing of beauty this so tortured flesh turned death
Despised gestation, fertile breeding, suffocation
In the darkest place, foetal horror's corruption bleeds
Infect
All the years of pain and death no saviour
Oh hated injustice, paying tithes to death itself
Despised gestation, fertile breeding, suffocation
Would that we had the knife to cut if free
Let the blood run free
And in the mirror before you
Sightless eyes blind to the growing shadow
Consuming?
And as the dead we shall walk
Blackly erubescent, eschatological descent
Words twisted beyond madness in this world of the truest path
Despised gestation, fertile breeding, suffocation
Would that we had the knife to cut if free
Carved into our hearts
We wear the name called death
Will there be a beyond?
Then let it weep in preparation?
A legacy of shining lights to despise the unjust
History will remember the ones among the first into the breach
Once more unto the breach
Subsumed by abomination
Dead ritualistic threnody
this killing music
5. They Must Die Screaming
Destined for great power
Hidden secret of twisted faith
From sacrificial squalor
To disinterring amoral disgrace
Following in the footsteps
In the wrecking trail of the elusive witch
Effigies submerged in gore
With a headless beast for opposing the hitch
Sworn to Kadiempembe
An obsession with evil carved in flesh
Ritually cicatrised screaming
My soul is dead, I have no god
And with the gathered disciples
The chosen one's horizons spread
Immolations and unbelievers
Paying the devil's price in blood and dread
And with the decadent enraptured
Worshipping their twisted god
Boundless evil of El Padrino
A baron in the court of hell
Spiralling sadism
Lovers torn asunder, victims mutilated
Agony praised utmost
One vile commandment - they must die screaming
Flense the silent stoic
Yet his lack of screams fails to impress
Resultant rage volcanic
Seize innocence, desperate redress
But the shadow god has stumbled
Sorcerous facade now implode at once
Though the castellations crumble
The godfather will not be dead for long...
6. Dripping With Disgust
Incarnadine
To wash the body of god in blood
When human nature is motive to kill
Soothsayer will be hunted
Do not confess on pain with death
In this dark age the truth is the destroyer
The tyranny of the mindless right
To persecute unsacred plight
From defected birth to deserved end
A blasphemy to live
With ancient curse
The hidden shame
Never to create
A living sin
And god to blame
Duty compells to hate
A black psychosis
Hidden murderous lust
A poisoned blade
Gilt edged and dripping with disgust
Spread a plague
To fight a plague
Hatred cloacked if fear
Lesions
Devour the brain
Screaming they'll meet their end
A black psychosis
Hidden murderous lust
A poisoned blade
Clandestine edged and dripping with disgust
No room to breathe, no such fantasy
A last gasp as riddled with disease you fall
Fighting fire
With holy fire
Tragedy revealed
Innocence
Irrelevant
Vengeance it its own reason
A black psychosis
Hidden murderous lust
A poisoned blade
Wretched edged and dripping with disgust
Incarnadine
An image of god now drowning in blood
7. Wrath And Regret
You could not destoy me though insidious you tried
I detest your seed, you have abhorred me for the final time
No serpent to bar the path of my will
Casting off the yoke of your burdens, do as you will, I'll do as I must
Such brightly glinting promises revealed in truth as dust
All of you that was golded lies tarnished by your fear
Would that I could feel remorse - regrets recede when wrath draws near
No serpent to bar the path of my will
You will not condemn me
Eradicating root and branch
Duplicitous and ill advanced
Twisted features compell me
To rid you of your vanity
Accusations have damned you
I could hurl defiance at your cropse but I wouldn't waste my fucking breath
No serpent to bar the path of my will
You would condemn me for being what I am
8. As Her Skin Weeps
In the screaming blackest reaches
The stertorous watches of cyclopean night
Atramental immanence
Till daybreak slashes with pernicious light
Exsanguine
Obscene
In tremulous trepidation
In anticipation of the lancet's caress
In ever-desreasing consciousness
For gratification of the cruelest request
Fellate me
As her skin weeps
And though the bloom may wither, the petals gleam
Leaking all scarlet ecstasy, glistening, free
What use is pleasure if not born from tortured cruelty
Bleed out your very life for the totality of my depravity
9. Cold, Deathless, Unrepentant
Fires around me
Scorching their way through perpetual night
Fear upon me
Clothing my nakedness before the light
Look to the horizon
Sweat stains the blood crowned brow
Evil approaching at last
Turning to stand and fight
Retreat is hopeless now
This is a fight to the death
Foes before me
Wizened and wretched, their hearts beating cold
Cowards surround me
Legions may face me yet all meet their end
They'll never lay me low
While there's still breath in me
Hatred will shine through undimmed
Do to me what they will
I will not be broken
Face them all down to their last
Alone I may stand yet defiant I'll die
Insects, beneath me
Come as they might I will snuff out their lives
Bastards engulf me
But on every last heart I will carve my disgust
There is not enough of them
To wreck my vengeance on
Their numbers just make me laugh
A martyr they'd make of me
Just let them damn well try
They don't even see we're the same
Cold
Deathless
Unrepentant
Cruel
Relent?ess
Eager to die
10. Immaculate Facade
Amidst the elegance
Amidst the starving suffering
The supreme predator in an age of dogs
Their wounds will never heal
Dim witted trusted populace
Cloacked in discarded death
An oral tracheotomy
A corpse gasping breath
A coat sanguine satiety
When fed on human swine
Screaming child whore's embraced
When drunk on human wine
Dim witted trusted populace
Cloacked in discarded death
An oral tracheotomy
A corpse gasping breath
The blood moon rises
Attack the corpse with two clean cuts
The intestines excarnated
offal discarded in a pail
See the smoke as the blood moon rises
Skeletal anomalies lie buried in the silt
The act of decapitation
bleeds the audacity of guilt
See the smoke as the blood moon rises
Scouring the earth to soar the earthly soul
Fed my the sale of human meat
A city cries in panic
With skulls in the river mud
Embodiment of contradiction
Behold the moon's face of blood
Dim witted trusted populace
Cloacked in discarded death
An oral tracheotomy
A corpse gasping breath
11. Burying The Hatchet
Tumultuous infraction
When stirred the beast will roar
Implacable reaction
Parasites will be abhorred
But in the easy belly
Where beats the savage heart
Lies yet greater evil
Leaving victims hacked apart
Burying the hatchet...
Inquisitions churning
Guiltless plaintiff dies
Invisible assailant
As accusations fly
desperate bourgeois panic
It's never safe to sleep
As victims jump at shadows
And death runs ever fleet
Burying the hatchet...
I am not human
A devil stalks the deep south
Spit forth from hottest hell
Do not seek the axeman
Lest your brains besmear his axe as well
And so persists the spectre
Forever be unknown
Remain a violent mystery
The fell demon has returned home.
Burying the hatchet...
12. Beg, You Dogs
Reject despised mundanity
Exult in mental empire
Within the prime casuality
Sublimate to defile
Expose the lying bastards' ways
Wretched the strong shall fall
Another low rabid dog's day
Cages animals will torture
The litany of a wasted life
Yet who deserves such a fate
Mayhap the rank abusers might
Grotesqueries to repay
Subject them to the cruelest plight
Plumbing the foulest depths
A symphony of howling fright
Abase yourselves before your master
The litany of a wasted life
Yet who deserves such a fate
Mayhap the rank abusers might
Grotesqueries to repay
Subject them to the cruelest plight
Plumbing the foulest depths
A symphony of howling fright
Abase yourselves before your master
So beg you dogs
Now who's the bitch
As you fuck face down in the dirt?
With wires and cattle prode I'll play your organs
Inside the padded cell
White walls are no defence
Images will show you as I fuck your wife and sanity
I have decayed within this hell
This murine mind disease
Dreamt madness in this mortal shell
All ears deaf to my pleas
Yet as reason fails and I start to drown
Bereft of the will to live
In my empire of twisted shame
I'll never fucking forgive
So beg you dogs
Now who's the bitch
As you fuck face down in the dirt
