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

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

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
