Recreant 04:47
Do you feel a chill lover? Feel it taking hold and shaking your bones? I know! I feel it too. But different causes call for different cures Different cures for different furors Seasoned wisdom flavors this one One step closer I’ve drawn you a bath Two steps, lover Over the edge! I stew bitterly You stew steadily You had better be Agreeable this time I was generous You were frivolous Now you’re powerless Cleverness cannot help you now Now you listen well Hear me for once I gave you a chance Now you’re just fucked Soon I will absorb All that I loved And as for the rest I shit the rest Look how you smile as you boil for me It’s the face of a fool who’s easily enchanted, granted, you always did tend to underestimate me… This hurts me more than you I won’t be clean for days I’ll have disturbing dreams as you pass And you’ll haunt me for weeks at least! And I bet you’ll leave a good taste in my mouth (bastard that you are) And I bet you’ll leave me hungry for more (bastard that you are) But you’ll probably leave a bad taste in my mouth (festering and sour) Cause you’ve never backed me up before (bastard that you are) Face your final hour Face it for me Do your final deed Do it and bleed I will take the best You have to give And as for the rest I shit the rest Now you listen well Hear me for once I gave you a chance Now you’re just fucked Soon I will absorb All that I loved And as for the rest I shit the rest My oh my, aren’t you tender now, now that’s it’s too late. Simmer slowly like my rage Don’t need shackles or a cage Soft to the touch now you smell much better than you ever did before You can be sure I’ll savor you Flesh falls from bone - now you’re done Now your flesh falls from the bone Now you’re done Now you’re done

Conjuring 04:06
Overhead, malice and bereavement Underneath, palaces of treason Callous and corrupted beyond reason Clearness of the skies belies the season A blasted land, a blighted land by ignorance and negligence A bloody, sticky effluence that seeps and traps and suffocates No seed remains, no spark of life to innervate, to impregnate A wasted land, a ravaged land Its features spell regret Forces bring imbalances to justice Nature is a dominating mistress Tipping the scales is a dangerous game They came with clouded eyes and forced us all to see Distorted visions shaped by fear and insecurity But we won’t wait to shape their fate Gather, conjure, call on Leraye We call on you to lead a war for the ones whose blood they used for building They mixed their mortar with our dignity and pain Now hell will fall on them like rain We conjure thee, prince And all your legions Take of our offerings Avenge us mightily, oh Leraye May the wounds inflicted by your arrows never heal! “Yes I am here, I heard your plea And I will do what you ask of me But know! You sell your souls Once I deliver, you’ll serve me forever” “Here we come, one by one”

Thralldom 03:34
Tending endless hells of my creation Fallen prey to a viscous haze It chills me and saps my will My limbs are heavy, my active gaze turns in and is still I live in the past in a rotten forest of dreams It’s stagnant and toxic but there’s nowhere else that I can imagine is less of a prison The undergrowth moves in sickening waves Everything’s heaving - heavy and dull with disease I will remain, building my catacombs, lost in my pain - boundless malaise Digging deep into the wound, exploring the pain It’s making me sick.  It’s making me sane.  It’s making me sane No truth lights this forest. It’s cloaked in blindness.  It’s choked with darkness Fetid pools, tortured ghouls, hungry ghosts, bellies of poison gas Eating the shit of the past Stay where I can see you I brought you here To endlessly relive Your sins against me We will be immortal The obsession reigns
