Celestina
05:41

|

|
Hermits, hookers, gypsies and brutes
Command of Celestina
Both cowards and gallant men make use of her magic and flesh
Whoring procuress, arcane cosmetician
Fat of the dead and children to make her spells
By erotic sorcery, breaker of bonds
Medicinal and malignant craft of Celestina
Saffron painted palms and relics of dead men
A shadow of her true source of power, the senses
Homage to the he-goat metamorphoses
Explicitly spiritual matter
Complex identity transcendent
Natural order overthrown
Commerce with evil under night's cowl
Given this life and the next
Unholden, no fear of god to stay the hand
All that consumes existence, in the Devil's power
Anointed astride the Black Ram
Call of familiar spirit
At the Devil's command forsook the human form
For those of wolves to loot kill and drink beer

Sire Pan, dual natured faun
Wise prophet and lustful beast
Teach the lonely shepherds to pull
Giver of hunting hounds and secret of prophesy
Hornbearing, mountainranging
Mount starry void on goatish feet
Dancing an Euian fling, whistling the tune of war
Break with his hooves, ring of the Triton's back
Where his two natures join
Fleet footed daring Pan
Horny feet skipt the sea unwetted
Hounds give tongue in concert with the wild beasts roars
Lord of the woodlands and of rustic war
Uncouth weapons in hand, ravage the trembling flock
Beast tending invincible Pan
Lecherous lonely god
Vengeance of the wilderness
Worshipped in caves and grottos
Visit dreams with prophesy
Bridge the primitive world
Hunter and Shepherd
Dual natured Pan

The fire that burns, the fire that devours
Pyres of thieves and christ's adulterers
Given to the idolatrous blaze
Who is this lord whose words should be obeyed?
Abode of the undying worm, of fires unquenched
Every man as an unclean thing
All righteousness as filthy rags
Billows of foul smoke bleed disease and death
Fire flame and frenzied passion
God of force and desolation
Lord of unconsecrated vows
The wounds of his feet, the thorns at his brow
The turmoil and tongue of eternal flames
Deliverance from the levite's bane
Shrine prostitution in the name of the lamb
The young devoted by fire in profanation
Sacred harlots ceremonially defiled
Their bower a burning stinking tip
Beardless eunuchs hook to pay tithe, animals trained alike
Men sup of eachother in flesh communion
Partaking of this meat gifts fortunes
Cheek turned on humanity
Revolt against better self
Contrary god of all refinements
Of death, waste and stench

Ghul of the Waste
04:28
|
|
||
|
Ghul of the waste, embodiment of the desert
Grave, sober midnight creep
Delusional with the owl's cries
Which haunt the brave and craven alike
Cemetery being, defiled of living death
By the fullmoon steal among the crypts
Flesh of the dead for mantic spells
Rip a sleeping corpse, disturbing its repose
Ravisher of tombs, denier of peaceful rest
Of a coffin's treasure, desirous and obsessed
Heaving dirt in foreplay
Bones to grind, fat to rend
Procuring means to immortal ends
Under cover of darkness to open graves
Resurrectionist
Of fat and grave grown hair
Spells to command the dead
Portal through the blood of dead men
Transcendence
The dominion of death

Wolves at Candlemas
04:30
|
|
||
|
Savageness arisen first from condition
Account of the bitter winter
Seasonally more vicious than others
Feast of the virgin's purification, violent surge in aggression
When old and in leas the stag eludes him
Ripping of man, tearing meeker furless fare
At the fete of the whorebegotten son
Take their feed on christian men
Empiric appetite for human skin
Desire to taste again
Wild dogs filled with lust for mens' flesh
Sweet beneath supplicant robes
Predation chain overcome
The rabid wolf regards noone
On the holiest of nights from the woods they stray
By the blood of godly men senses set aflame
In their place of refuge the good word is undone
Saint sinner virgin nun, the wolf regards noone
Choir howling at the gates preluding bloody fate
The feeble cries of kneebound men betray a weakened faith
Rabid hounds erupting forward break the prayer trance
Torn apart impatiently despite the saviors plan

Appear as thou will, mountain bull
Bestower of the reptile brain
Lion of atomic flames
God, Beast, Mystery, Come
Born of the fire and nursed by the rains
Beastgod of the sacramental vine
Mindtripping grape, the unction of all ills
Lifeblood of vast illumination
Double pipe and drum lay meter to his rites
And vigorous unslacking of the limbs
Their palsy portrays his resurrection
The ivy wreathed staff; regeneration
Bull-voiced mimes in faunskin habits moan
With heads tossed high to dewy air
Cult of the souls feed the dead through blood alms
Gorge of the hillgoat torn
Consciousness altering diapason
Shawms and auloi blare violence
Lurid nameless dance, gates drawn open wide
Return to nature, primitive essence laid hold of
Odes to a dying and rising god

Contrawomb
03:50
|
|
||
|
Watery cerement
Where encamps the worm
Writhing music of the spheres
Bidding blood's return
Not of space, not of time
In fits of sleep entombed
Cycle back to shoreless seas
Abyssous contrawomb
Biopic flash of silver hue
A horror plot revealed
Strangling guilt for squandered life
Those who prayed and kneeled
Impartial lifting of the veil
Yoke of nature's order
Out of space, out of time
Omnipotent highwater

Pall of a Past World
05:33
|
|
||
|
Ageless storm, firmament shrouding
No planet, nor brilliant star aglow
No southern cross or moon's position
Sun's orb devoid of rays
Bedlam and ancient smog, no dawn
Only gleam of abysmal discharge
Withdrawn from gods
Scrupulous in benediction
Volcano idolatry
Morning son become
Manor and shanty razed for beacons
Passions forgone for dread in the moonless night
Famine ravage all men, beasts of the chase succumb
Tilled fields interred in drift
Land a mass of tombless remains
War gluts itself once more
Weak consume the weaker
Stars lurk drawling in an untold void
Rayless and pathless
Cessation of the wind and the pall of a past world
Junctureless, colourless, and lifeless

Odious Descent Into Decay

I wasn't big on these guys on record, but then I saw them live and that guitar tone translates *really* well. They gained a fan at that show, even if I still think they could trim some fat.
