Invocation of Leviathan

Lurking beneath the waves
Surging devil's Kraken comes
Apparitions of dead sailors lost
Forward in the black night, in the sea it comes…
And grows
And grows
And grows
Battlestations!
It knows
It knows
It knows
Man Overboard!
The moon reflecting blood, on the deck
Slams our ship at breakneck speeds
Fleeting visions of home,
Of land and trees
Before we’re swallowed by the ancient beast
Lurking beneath the waves,
Summoned devil's Kraken comes
God can't protect us now,
Drowning, in black waters, the crew's lives already lost!

Standing, on the edge of my psyche
Winds howling
A darkened lonely road
With nowhere to go
I’m lost
My mind twists and burns
Forever, I’ve forgotten
My own sanity
My brain
Melting away under black blotter plague
Only carnal desire remain
Casting off godly sense
A katharsis of evil visions
Swirls and screams in this hellscape
Of dead and barren men
So lonely
Is the journey of the soul
Artificial divinity
Farewell my one true home
My brain
Melting away under black blotter plague
Only carnal desire remain
I cannot see now
Bile from my bowles
Black Blotter vows
Black blotter vows
Black blotter vows
Black blotter vows

Sullen Misanthropy
04:42
|

Run from Humanity, embracing misanthropy
For on this night a plague, of black blotters destiny.
Free me my darkest desires.
Setting ablaze the funeral pyre.
Slaughter the weak in cold blood.
Heed my collapse, great evil will flood.
Family is chased in delight.
Fucking the wounds into the night.
Bloodied mess, shotgun stung.
I eat to feel, humanity’s gone.
Where could it all begin
I tried to look within
I tried I care, but fuck the bitch
Fabricate a love now stitched
Preying in the dark of my mind
Peering into my dark demise
Morbid thoughts in joyful song
Still my hunger lingers on
Sullen Misanthropy
Sullen Misanthropy
Sullen Misanthropy

Necropossession
08:05
|

|
Astral horrors of the flesh
Commune through Satan's breath
He quells their agony the harbinger of death
Infernal possession
You lay entombed
Fear and death become your cocoon
Welcome the flesh that hates
Death's bell will toll for us
All contortions are unknown
Scars and spores will adorn
Bodies flail in hate and scorn
The Flesh That Hates
Necropossession is our fate
Take the world as your miasmic scourge
Mutilated flesh humanity's purge
Taken from their homes
The night claims them leaving no bones
Souls follow this sentient being
Debilitating pain, flesh seething
Flesh ripping humanoid
Distorted horrors planted on the ground
Corpses breeding, infected mass
Anthropomorphic death machines
Eaten alive
In seizured cries
They'll never die
Yet they're dead inside
The flesh that hates
Necropossession is our fate
Take the world as your miasmic scourge
Mutilated flesh humanity's purge
The flesh that hates
Necropossession is our fate
Take the world as your miasmic scourge
Mutilated flesh humanity's purge

Waves of Dread
07:52
|

|
I, struggle with the current
Pulled, ever slowly under
A deep and a deadly ending
Final breath floats to surface
A dark endless void
As old as it is vast
Grasped in the maw
Claimed in a blinding flash
Pressure pushes down, breaks through bone
Darkness swallows devoured whole
Pallid sheet of pale white skin
Barely held by
Grayed old veins
sinew snipped
As creatures feast
Engorged, it’s as
All things are
Shit and ash
Cycled through
So endlessly
As will be of us all
Fucking dead
And tossed away
Preach some more
As I fucking drown
Feed the God
Of the depths
Tribute to earn
Mottled flesh
Waves will crash
Blood will pour
Behold the might
Poseidon roars
A ghastly way to go
Doused to my fucking soul
A weakened slow struggle
I won’t tread on all night
My fingers rise up high

Screaming in pain like a slash from a knife
A vision of hate reappears
A voice sent from hell softly whispers my name
It begs for my life and my tears
Fractals spin and break as my vision softly warps
Fingertips grow icy cold my soul is being scorched
A burnt square of flesh in my tongue can only know
Where my mind can, screaming, go
Rocking, muttering, there’s no iron rod to hold
I tremble as the lights start to grow
Repeating thoughts, begin to appear
Flashing lights, ringing ears
A light seeps through as my mouth is forced to laugh
My sides are aching, my jaw is clasped
Manic muttering in the dark of a room
Piecing thoughts, chaos viewed
Walls drip down as the floor gives in
Falling through to a cage within
I forgot the tongues which I spoke
Phlegm gurgles out from my throat
Oh broken down, a wandering soul
Who I am, what I know
Shaking
I’m howling
As my life starts
Dissolving
Fragments
Being
It’s myself
I’m deceiving
Repeating thoughts, begin to appear
Flashing lights, ringing ears
A light seeps through as my mouth is forced to laugh
My sides are aching, my jaw is clasped
It’s I who has broke
I’m entrenched in my path
A creature, a worm in the mud
No life reaching through
No help for the damned
A ferry to float in the muck
Shepard I’ll break your crook
Your flock is left for wolves
Coyotes howl with might
As buzzards rip at your skull
Transformed I’ve seen myself
As somebody sees someone
Left behind then broke my path
The evil has always won
Forlorn and gifted am I
For it’s few that fate bestows
What in faith I surely lack
The blotter always knows
Shaking
I’m howling
As my life starts
Dissolving
Fragments
Of being
It’s myself
I’m deceiving

Postmodern Depression
08:59
|
|||
|
I’ve been waiting to come down
Yet I still feel broken
Like screws and bolts have been stripped
And fallen out of my framing
Give me peace from this fucking hell
The world it churns like blood
Flowing and sticking in the flooring
Oh it’s never going to end
The churning of people like cogs
In a giant cold machine
Numbers and barcodes to record
The daily cattle count
Sent from the cradle to the slaughterhouse
To be butchered and burned
Nature is utterly raped
At the hands of humans and “growth,”
The world we depend to hold us
Is used like a parasites host
And all the world will be ashes
Like one big fucking morgue
Floating in smoke and fire
A dumpster being pured
I feel like I’m drowning
In endless looping thoughts
Despair surely grips me
I’m still feeling shock
Trembling
Fucked up
I can’t take this any longer
Floating in this river of chains
Shackled on every part of my body
Surviving with a broken brain
I’ll escape and end it
My compliance in this soulless game
Fueled by the high or my hatred
Of being imprisoned in terror and pain?
Slouched in the corner of the room you’ll find me
With limp arms and twisted legs
My own blood on which I choked
My skin is as white as their ghosts
I can see myself
Falling to the depths of hell
And from the tree of my ancestors
I’ll swing from the branches of my fathers
Forever suffocating on my own undoing
