I am Oblivion, Deep Drenched In Forever 06:42
lyrics

I am the tomb, I am the end Like a grieving mist on dusking skies I am the grave, I am the dark The falling drop of dew that dies I am the grim, I am the murk Lost in glooms where shadows never go I am the bane, I am the shade Like a withered flower in a withered hand I am the drear’ I am the rue I cannot out run my pursuing grave I am the woe, I am the worm Between closed eyelids of ice & ash I am oblivion, deep drenched in forever I am destiny with black depths unseen Oblivion, deep drenched in forever (x4) I am the tears, I am the grief The freezing ghost of the lampless deep I am the dread, I am the plague The yawn of a dream uttering sound I am the gall, I am the welt Like a mouldering wound on deadly blain I am the irk, I am the scar Like a timeless mark of baleful cane Oblivion, deep drenched in forever (x4) & when I’m gone, you will sit In this world so dimly lit A shadow long, a shadow gone A deathly pale, weeping song Come the night, no more time Bells of life cease to chime Headless Gods, kings of rust Lords of filth & blinding dust Musty grey, deathly fog To you all, just fuck off Cawing rooks, howling flies Listen to my timeless lies Spitting bile from mouth & pen Shitting sermons again & again Death has come to set me free

I'm Running Out of Time Doing Nothing 03:47
lyrics

Throne of frost in limbo's den I’m never going there again Floundering in fire & sulphur Dark disgust, a voiceless hush Eyeballs seared with horror A day more darker than tomorrow I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m falling up on flakes of snow To melt in flames deep down below I’m running out of time doing nothing Wreath me in a beggars crown A fiery lake where angels drown A king no better than nothing The teeth of time have gnawed away My memories of yesterday Now I’m resting in the beauty of the grave I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m falling up on flakes of snow To melt in flames deep down below I’m running out of time doing nothing A dismal ditch of ashen shrouds Where fields of war remain unploughed This is the place of churchyard dust A dark decay of croaking mist Where blotted shades must coexist Amongst the murderous eyes of sorrow I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m running out of time doing nothing I’m falling up on flakes of snow To melt in flames deep down below I’m running out of time doing nothing That’s Right

Look upon the Children who die of sadness Hearts cracked like clay jars flung against a wall Enlighten the ignorant with prayer matts and crosses Behold civilization, Gods salvation But you already know how to kill, your human after all..... Look upon the cracked heads of infants Transparent brains like a gathering of frog’s eggs in a pool of piss & blood Nothing changes, breeding hatred Black is black & white is white Covered faces, poisoned races Black is black & white is white Odium of hatred, children never play Black is black & white is white Unholy land, land of the slaves Black is black & white is white Sun baked graves, cold as ice Black is black & white is white Dripping despair, the sadistic insane Black is black & white is white Hate created war, war created hate Black is black & white is white Marked for death, human sacrifice Black is black & white is white Foul Horror, Foul Horror Foul Horror Angel’s harps are out of tune Foul Horror Hear the cherubs hum & croon Foul Horror Singling songs of holy peace Foul Horror While children sleep in puke and fleas Into the fire & out of the fire & into the fire we go Angel’s harps are out of tune Hear the cherubs hum & croon Singling songs of holy peace While children sleep in puke and fleas Third world Christians got fuck all Beg for water, rags & rice While western fat evangelists Bleed tax free cash donations

Cockroach Marionettes 03:44
lyrics

In a world of horror, that’s how it’s always been Killing one another, there’s fire in the air Nothing fucking changes, except the fucking shoes There ain’t no fucking choices for anyone to choose When you got fuck all & nothing really matters & then the gods come knocking & all will be forgiven The world watches on, Eating fattened calves Fuck the refugees, Shoot em’ fucking down Cockroach Marionettes (x 2) Hanging from a tree like fucking halal meat Strung up like a dog with burning rosaries Where are the angels, the white doves of peace Where is the hope inside Pandora's Box & they who suffered become the torturers It’s a good fucking day to die in Palestine & hatred grows on open fucking graves Heads full of dreams, blown to smithereens Cockroach Marionettes (x 2) Sailing into darkness, a shroud for a sail Hells wind follows infernal hissing gale A new holocaust silently spoken No one cares this time, Gaza hearts are broken Rockets overhead, Hatred is a curse Bloodletting chaos, a never-ending purge Deluded psychosis until all is lost & all are dead & for fucking what?

I Stood Tiptoe, Reaching Up For Heaven 04:32
lyrics

We see the world in a grain of dust By making bombs in the local mosque Dogs with rabies, thick as shit Looking out for throats to slit Thugs & scum & simpletons Tools of god’s persuasion Stoned to death for adultery For queers & gays castration If I was God I’d fuck you all I’d blow your brains out across the wall I’d drag you down upon your knees & make you eat the God disease Murdered men from beams are hung & kids besides their mothers flung This is holy genocide Blessed by God & glorified Roll up! Roll Up! It’s the greatest show in the universe Be amazed by spine chilling sexual abuse Be spell-bound by gastrointestinal death Dread infests the lonely hours Wash yourself in acid showers The folly of life is on repeat & human life is just raw meat Bones to grind in war machines Body parts in quarantine Oozing stew of persecution A perfect human constitution Tears of brine & woe combine To make our eyes go fucking blind We see the cross of idols lost & those who kneel will count the cost Join the cult of fucking death Killing high on crystal meth God is good & God is great God was born to decimate Fucking corpses in the morgue Open casket necro whores Spit roast shemales one by one Bukakke faces covered in cum We hate you, you hate me They hate us, we hate them We are wankers, we’re obsessed Hate is what we do best Hating races, different faces Chinks & paki’s, wogs & kikes Hate the wops, the frogs & krouts Hate is what were all about What a fucking twisted species Full of germs & strange diseases A cancer of the universe Thiers’s nothing nowhere more perverse

Like Blood Shaped Flakes of Snow 09:24

In the dust of dim entangled silence Minutes wane in delirium, sleepy opium Like time falling away Like time falling away Woe are they, come what may Woe are we, come & see Woe are they, come what may Woe are we, come & see A clinging shroud of sleep, wrapped around memories You may yearn for graves of peace, desolate cemeteries but try living there alone with your sorrows Bonds of death between two eternities, past tomorrows That silently swing between forever and no more & here i lie in shades of yesternights shadows Between the words half uttered, nameless words half heard Moaning tears of streams above, forever in time interred The shore is far, out of reach like yonder distant star The joys we taste, may tomorrow turn to woe & we bury our smiles with the sleeping dust below The dawn will never come the sky cannot hold a stone A hollow fallen tear I am In Letheian seas drifting Drowsy & cold my spirit falls Spinning, whirling, twisting I am the idle nothing The forlorn withering snow A seed lost under a fallen rock Where no flowers can grow Death is but a path to tread To lay alone in a darkly box With splintery clusters of pine & clod To sleep with worms & slowly rot Like blood shaped flakes of snow melting into nothing Like blood shaped flakes of snow melting into nothing Melting, melting into nothingness Melting, melting into nothingness I am the forgotten breath Nothing in the unseen, nothing in the bloodless drifting shrouds To wander bankless streams of mist Nothing in the unseen, nothing in the bloodless drifting shrouds Melting into nothingness, melting into nothingness Melting into nothingness, melting into nothingness

The Broken Wings of a Hud-Hud 03:46
lyrics

Heaven dreamers are the fallen dusky woe Like blinded orphaned spirits with no place to go If God exists He exists to murder To glut upon blood To gloat upon terror The broken wings of a Hud-Hud (x4) Babies of Palestine are cast in the abyss By Jews who offer tithes of perishable bliss If God exists He exists to laugh To feast upon chaos To caw over woe The broken wings of a Hud-Hud (x4) We speak different tongues but gaze on the same stars & when we die, our eyes will close at last We praise different Gods but breathe the same air We are born unclothed & feel the pain of despair If God exists He exists to whimper To spit upon humanity To praise inhumanity The broken wings of a Hud-Hud The broken wings of a Hud-Hud The broken wings of a Hud-Hud awake The broken wings of a Hud-Hud arise Chase the foolery of submissive faith Seek the absurdity of divine justice Our primary lust is hatred incarnate Consumed with a lust to enslave Our moral weakness our cancer within We create the unspeakable delusions With rituals to cast the pain away

Lost in a desert Where the sun no longer shines In unrelenting torment In the heart of the night Many empty tepees An endangered species Red man burning Black foot & Pawnee Sleepless delirium Of the trail of tears Cheyenne & Navaho A culture disappears The suffering of one Is the suffering of many Funeral drums of Insomnia's Labyrinth Ghosts dancers, dipped in flames Fire walkers, nothing remains Sightless souls of dead men walking Fouled with dust, wingless crows Gouts of blood, sick with fear A piecing woe get me out of here Funeral drums of Insomnia's Labyrinth

We dig our graves as soon as we're born A turf clad roof for our friends to mourn Like falling birds on heaps of dust We pray to the gods of foul disgust A shower of chill in the drizzling mist To delight my soul with eternal rest I’m drinking blood & the devils piss I’m a hand loom weaver from Necropolis Murmurings & mockeries Dusty loveless eyes Of fakery & prophesies & Morpheus in disguise We dig our graves as soon as we're born A turf clad roof for all our friends to mourn Like falling birds on heaps of dust We pray to gods of foul disgust A shower of chill in the drizzling mist To delight my soul with eternal rest I’m drinking blood & the devils piss I’m a hand loom weaver from Necropolis Murmurings & mockeries Dusty loveless eyes Of fakery & prophesies & Morpheus in disguise Recollections of a Hand Loom-Weaver Doomed to tread this path of dread Giddy whirls inside my head Hollow voices draped in the night Face of sin burning bright To wonder alone in haunted deeps Forever clad in shrouds of sleep Part human, part despair Lost in blood & cold warfare Vampire gods in unblessed graves Shadow brimming, unholy slaves God makers, schemers all Smiling clay, gibberish Out to lunch, blind & mute Deaf & dumb, talking shit Wilted roses, wrinkled hand Holy men in sunless towers Open bible, dripping woe From deceit lies will grow My journey ends, this is it Lower me down into this pit Eternal sleep beckons me Solitude, in eternity Cracking mirror, empty glare My reflection, everywhere Overhear, over there All I am, beyond repair I am gone, obliterated I am done, decimated I am dead, eradicated Fuck you, fuck me Fuck everybody

Souvenir of Death 09:19

End of days, bury me Afterlife, not for me Deep below, shallow grave Eternity’s dismal slave Evermore, sorrowing Obsidian, wallowing Remember me? Passer by Shed a tear yester year Grim remains in marble town Charnel dreams in hell abound Forever gone, no U-turn Dead man’s ash in cold clay urn Gone forever Dying embers on stygian sore Sleep forever, dream no more The fading light, the setting sun Life now spent, death has begun Searing heat, my choking lungs burn Ashen blood, my smoking flesh sears Feasting worms, inhumation Dreams burn, my cremation In the crimson of coals of night Our joyless souls burn bright To fade to drowsy deaths delight I’m just a lonely souvenir of death Here we are right here now Silhouettes of yesteryear Silent movies long spent tears I’m just a lonely souvenir Here we are right here now Silhouettes of yesteryear Silent movies long spent tears I’m just a lonely souvenir of death Seeds upon a riven throne Others reap what I have sown All I was has turned to stone I’m just a lonely souvenir of death Here we are right here now Silhouettes of yesteryear Silent movies long spent tears I’m just a lonely souvenir Cause’ here we are right here now Silhouettes of yesteryear Silent movies long spent tears I’m just a lonely souvenir of death
