The Lost Ark

Dig deep where the dead sleep
Six feet beneath, eternity bequeathed
The light seems so distant
A never ending fade
Sins of the father, sins of the master
Fending the bastards from forgotten treasure
Calloused hands know these walls too well
Skin greets stone, where the earth greets hell
You sent your duty men
To seek the word of god
The Ark she speaks, she whispers
God is dead, salvation is long gone
Digging for memories
To sleep with a clear head
You hold no sin in slaughter
God is dead, salvation is long gone
I am a king in an unkempt kingdom
I hold the keys to the treasures of a thousand men
And as adventure longs to keep me on the run
(On the run, she may find me)
She may find me standing where the world ends
Excavate, your every waking breath
Crushed by the weight of the tomb upon your head

A ripe scent sings to me
Knocking on my door
Serving itself to the ocean
Rejoice, for I shall feast today
Il va vous falloir un plus gros bateau
Et j’ai besoin de beaucoup de place pour le dessert
Mockery, the sun is taunting me
Illusion, bloodlust will set me free
A lust for flesh and bone
Foreign meat in my home
Seduction plays me as bait
What a bitter disappointment
Meat coloured hate
I welcomed a banquet of bloodshed
Instead I tasted bitterness
My teeth are tarnished with a vile taste
A taste that I can’t ever shake
Be afraid
Be terrified
Flesh for flesh, I promise I will feast tonight
Consider execution by consumption a mercy
Consider it a kindness.
The sea is not so holy.
I could let it fill your lungs with hopeless agony,
But I’d rather choose to take you rare and ripe
Seasoned and served with fear
I’ll take what’s mine
You knocked on the wrong door
I promise I will feast tonight

Breathing years of turmoil
Into moments of discomfort
It seems a small price to pay
I see no love, I see no mercy
I see an engine where you lay
I’ll turn you inside out
On your bile you will drown
Muscle splits away from bone
A rotting brain the worms call home
Mortification of the meaningless self
As an instrument of death, I hold no guilt
Deathless but deadly
Free the servant from the skin
Spare the future from your sin
Split the spirit from the husk
Free the planet from its dusk
I am not burdened by the castaway guilt of emotion
I am built for purpose, and for that purpose I will serve
May the bodies pile, a trail of the dead
Toss a message to the wind
The sand will cease to fall
The time has come for history to correct itself
For too long has humanity pissed carelessness into a hurricane
This is the sickness
Death is the cure

I, Demogorgon
07:48

I, a darker possession speaking disaster before the gates of hell
Bring forth the rapture, you will do my bidding as I tell
An unholy spirit, an illusion in black
Engulf it in flames
Burn it at the stake
Closer to the cold
With every breath you take
I, a Goliath catastrophe, building an empire atop an icy cemetery
Gates lined with frost kissed bone and not the faintest taste of ash still lingers on my tongue
Fresh vessels whisper to me in the dead of night
Take me as your host, and I shall give you sight
Neon skinned dancers tease
An air dense with the scent of October frost
Crystal haze fills my lungs
Sentenced to a life within the bones of sullen children
Sunken, buried, forgotten, the worms sing your eulogy.
I am risen, I am free, aching to bestow my agony.
Maggots quench their thirsty mouths
Become one with rodent bowels
Take your spirits to the grave, leave your bodies for a host to take
Meet me where the horizon puts the earth to sleep
As I lay you in your tomb to sleep
I release the flesh that kept me weak
As the ribcage opens up like wings
Close me into the shelter that I seek

The River

Sleepless rains, carry me away to somewhere beautiful
Somewhere lost
I see mirages of my former self,
And you’re still here
I remember the sky, I remember the enchanted nights
Lost in a moment of fantasy
I saw you shine in the blackest night
I saw your light when I couldn’t see mine
I haven’t seen you in days or has it been months,
Maybe years but I’m doing fine,
I’m married to misery, living aimlessly,
Expecting something, awaiting no one
We used to be a force to be reckoned with
Now in my dreams, they wish it was me death had traded with
I still see you in the trees, I still see you in the fields,
I still see you in the river where the devil took his steal
I still see you in my dreams, where you keep the kingdom keys,
I still see you in my dreams
Magic died in the river
Love died in my empty arms
Hope died when I couldn’t save you
I can’t stand with us worlds apart
I wish that I was dead instead, then maybe you wouldn’t be in my head
For all the love that we saw grow, I’d give it all just to have you home

Imhotep

Immortality born of mortal flesh
A smorgasbord for royal insects
Leaving the scraps for vermin peasants
Forever entrapped in my dying breath
She yearns for me as I rot
For millenniums I begged to bargain with the underworld
I beg for mercy, let us rot together
An empty throne filled
Day in day out
By hollow hearts, hollow corpses
Death will come on swift wings
To whomsoever seeks my curse
Set to the backdrop of the darkest of nights
Kneel before an unholy sight
Watch them come by the thousands,
Age and age again
None of them have tasted the lust of her lips as I once did
Endless, as I am
I shall cast aside my mortal life
To take what's destined to be mine
Give me one dying mercy
Let us decay, let us be
Let us rot together
The dead live once again...
