The Flesh Crusades

The marching of boots and clattering of steel awakens within me the need to feel.
The rush of adrenaline and blood dripping down my steel encased hood.
The roar of pain, the screams of anguish.
Rapture in war, a race to vanquish.
Our god demands a sacrifice in worship.
What better than the flesh of their heathen bishop?
Arise! Arise!
They're dropping like flies.
With a burning desire to rush towards their demise.
Delight! Delight!
The smell of cooked flesh a delight.
As we stomp on their twisted carcasses through the night.
Scour the land of their civilization.
We as a plague to their blasphemous libations.
Their godless ways denounced from grace.
Our deity demands eradication with haste.
A shining light from the morningstar guides our war cries nearing from afar.
They tremble in fear as the war drums beat.
Their corpses left for the crows to eat.
Arise! Arise!
They're dropping like flies.
With a burning desire to rush towards their demise.
Delight! Delight!
The smell of cooked flesh a delight.
As we stomp on their twisted carcasses through the night.
Denounce! Denounce!
Denounce your godless traditions
or be subjected to endless attrition.
Heresy! Heresy!
You'll be judged for your unraveling deceit.
Kneel before the throne, worship at his feet.
We demand fealty to the one true god.
Strip the skin from those that partake in this facade.
Raise their entrails to the air, blood soaked hands tremble.
We are the ones that will guide his blades.
Us soldiers who lead his flesh crusades.

Blessed be so fervently,
Wrapped in bliss so comforting.
This eden, my garden of the mind
Shines bright upon my festering blight.
It spins! It spins so fucking fast.
Spasming and blackening as memories flow past.
I scream for it to stop, begging for the end.
What god must I please for my sanity to mend?
Intrusive thoughts pervade mental sanctity.
I cannot trust the lies the darkness thrusts on me!
Will I ever know the cause of this madness?
Shall I continue to descend into utter darkness?
After Darkness, always follows Madness.
It's hold is now complete, the smell of blood so sickly sweet.
This friend within my head, mockingly dread, wanting me dead!
A chorus so soft and sweet, lulled through the sirens song.
It says to me, my hearts racing, my blood pumping, so I gladly play along:
"The ones you love are sad, life is bad, everyone's mad.
Pick up a hammer and play along to this song and crush their fucking skulls in.
You can release them from their pain.
Don't worry, now they're happy, freed from existing."
The light now gone, I sink to black.
The comforting abyss, a place gone mad.
Here I'll be released from free will for millennia.
Here is where I'll dwell, the darkest corner of dementia.
The darkest corner of dementia!

Abomination
03:14

I get a feeling, a sense of dread
Promising me that I'll soon be dead
A sensation of pain arising within
The world darkens as it begins to spin
From beneath me its Magics rise
Tearing its claws up my body into my eyes
The transformation painstakingly begins
Blood and bone burst out, covered by new skins
Necromancy tears through my flesh
Contorted biotic organs thin into a fine mesh
Ribs split open to make way for new limbs
As the world darkens, my consciousness dims
Epidermis shed, veins displayed shows a gruesome spread
Bones sharpened to bits, body convulsing in violent fits
Violent fits!
A monster this darkened curse has made me
An abomination by its master has been set free
Exoskeleton now complete, the organs within now obsolete
Hardened marrow filed as a blade, an armory of bone has been displayed
A grin full of daggers, my worldly concern no longer matters
A horrid form of life!
A monster this darkened curse has made me
An abomination by its master has been set free
The Necropolis drains me of life
The lich within forcing sins of the dead into my already cluttered mind
His raspy voice breaks through the static noise
A new command issues forth, I have no choice, but to murder!
I get a feeling, a sense of dread
Promising me that I'll soon be dead
A sensation of pain arising within
The world darkens as it begins to spin
From beneath me its Magics rise
Tearing its claws up my body into my eyes
The transformation painstakingly begins
Blood and bone burst out, covered by new skins
Necromancy tears through my flesh
Contorted biotic organs thin into a fine mesh
Ribs split open to make way for new limbs
As the world darkens, my consciousness dims
Epidermis shed, veins displayed shows a gruesome spread
Bones sharpened to bits, body convulsing in violent fits
I am abomination!

Revel in Defilement
03:19

Upon a sight of gore I oversee,
Musing over the corpses of my blood soaked spree
The earth and very heavens I have shook
To kill those who forsake the ungodly book
I will devour all, I will create the fall!
Spew the wretched bodies out in front of my mouth, the dismembered limbs resemble a picture so foul
Disgorged and decaying, I eat the molded brains,
Chunks of flesh, rotting breath induced by gluttony
Revel in defilement! Writhe in glee, drenched in filth
Revel in defilement! Dead bodies round my meat up to the hilt
Revel in defilement! Stack the corpses up so high
Revel in defilement! A diseased end is nigh
Move forth and sacrifice your soul
To the King underneath, his throne now mine to control
Made of skulls, bits of bone is where I sit
Molten lakes burn with blood from the throats I have slit
A broken autonomy is such a sight to see
Twisted muscle, sinew and skin,
Draped in perfection and heavenly sin
Dip them into pools of acid
Leave them bare to the bone
The entrails will make my mask
Your life shall pass in a horrified flash
Tear them, rip them, twist them, pin them
A work of art to see, This is my horror chamber!
Revel in defilement! Writhe in glee, drenched in filth
Revel in defilement! Dead bodies round my meat up to the hilt
Revel in defilement! Fill my goblet with their blood
Revel in defilement! Just smoldered feet where they once stood
Revel in defilement! Bathe me in their boiling skin
Revel in defilement! Their botched faces set in a grin
The carnage is complete, a vile macabre feat
Where shall I go next, consult the demon text.

Vengeance Unfulfilled

In rapture I lay awake
Hoping its my life you take
Can we agree on this?
Do no let your kill shot miss
I wish for it to end
Do not let my wounds mend
The loss of life won't be mourned
At the pearly gates I'll be scorned
A vile existence I have lived
My one regret my sins I've not hid
Go on, complete your revenge
Purge your lover's killer as you have pledged
You must commit to this for you could not save
Your most beloved who lays in her grave
Do not hesitate or its your life
I do not have the will for anymore strife
I see you can't choose between the gun or the knife
Quickly done, or watch my eyes drain of my life?
Your fingers twitch, sweat drops down, make your move or its you who will drown
Your lapse of haste will be your downfall, weakness shows, you've dropped the ball
Anger swells, as your fury quells, how could you forget my hands at her throat?
This is not the end I had envisioned
Nor the fate I had requisitioned
Enough is enough is enough is enough
I will not tolerate this half hearted bluff
Since you will not grant me eternity's end
You'll join your wife after I tear off your skin
It seems that even the reaper has failed at his task
Yet in his failure I gain this scarlet blood bath
Your crime for my plans now foiled
Is to leave unfulfilled from this mortal coil.
