Hellknight 02:55
Sans of remorse, As i inflict this corruption so vile, my odium Stains the human race. Devoured by the covet of death. All mortals shall burn beyond the veil. Forgotten children, Dismantled by divination. lifeless, their bodies mutilated. through blasphemous rituals, they wither as our power grows beneath this merciless pandemonium. Centuries of impious bereavement. Deciphering their frail flesh, to achieve celestial enlightenment. Stripping our mortal coil and entities, Beguiling the world with their archaic hands of calamity. Hexed by the human mortality. Our divination for caustic brutality. Black out the eyes under this sufferance, Devouring the hearts of stillborn children. The malediction of flesh ensues. Sans of remorse, As i inflict this corruption so vile, my odium Stains the human race. Devoured by the covet of death. All mortals shall burn beyond the veil. Inhale my pestilence

The Stygian heart of divinity, Seeps immorality unto the world. I am the theurgy of distorting morality. Every mortals, deflowered by me. Rotting appendages plunge into the skin. let this nightmare commence, And spill the blood of the lamb. Believers will be bled, Like swine to slaughter. The messiah in death, Will provide flesh to feed my altar. Conjuring, more than just rousing Water to wine. Christ was a man, but I am Devine. Rise leviathan, ascend upon the earth. Beckon forth my unholy rebirth. Beneath a blood moon, A nightmare forged in malice. Sever the human race, Disrupt the holy balance. Rise Unbridled Monster full of fury and hate, A demon of many, will rape them of faith. Necrotic hands ritualize the holy ghost The most horrible creatures, I now provoke. Lustrated by fire in the shadow of sin. Conquer them all, upheaval begin. Believers will be bled, Like swine to slaughter. Let the nightmare commence. Spill the blood, feed the altar. Beneath a blood moon, A nightmare forged in malice. Dancing in the skin of the lamb, Amass corruption, the disciples of Christ. Bestowing denouement to a world Swarming in flies. Sulfuric waves, of crimson and flesh. Stain the shore, with abysmal death. This carnage will reign forever more. Son of a tyrant, I am bastard born. I am reborn x2 Upon this putrescent shrine, submerged in decay. Lays the carcass of their savior, of a worthless crusade. And In the end, all mortal men die by the hands of the beast of the damned. Permeate from beneath terraferma, abscond from the nine circles of hell. Rise Devour the children of god Souls scorched to ash In the teeth of Hellmouth Rise Rise

Altar of Rot 04:43
It seems, I have been void of free will. since my given birth. Claimed by the hand of mortality, Like embers upon the hearth. Neck deep in madness, This fate was decided for me. Sow the seeds of malignity, Into this fractal frame. Exposing my flesh to the elements, I can't escape this disease. Dementedness awaken this horror. Reality masquerades its face in, Depictions of hell. Infinite madness devours this palace of sin. I've lost myself, to insanity unseen. Noxious hands have their grips on me. Sow the seeds of malignity, Into this fractal frame. Purify me of this mortal disease. This world has no place for me. Upon an altar of rot, I shall lay there And bleed. I shall lay there and bleed. Upon the altar of rot, I shall lay there. Infinite darkness devours this palace of sin. I've lost myself, to insanity unseen. Noxious hands have their grips on me. Exposing my flesh to the elements. I can't escape this disease.

Blightmaker 03:43
I'm not worth saving. Suppress the voices. I cant bear their screaming. They've proclaimed that I have died But I'm still breathing. Tell me they're lying. And this hearts still beating, Betrayed and enslaved. A mind, so deceiving. Conquered of flesh, I'm dying in vain. Sever this empty soul so far beyond obtaining. Ensnare my neck betwixt the anathemas of death . I've given up. I'm not worth saving. "Blightmaker " Evil squirming underneath the skin. Infecting the mind with cold obsidian. "Blightmaker " Vociferate this suffering. The fall of flesh into a boundless abyss. This fragile body can no longer withstand such horrible pain, without seizing. Relinquish, mind and will to me, host my entity. This horror follows me. It follows me. This vileness is killing everything. Like gnashing teeth, they devour all dregs of sanity. I have been left to die here. No longer willing this agony. spit me out. "Blightmaker " Evil squirming underneath the skin. Infecting the mind with cold obsidian. "Blightmaker " Vociferate this suffering. The fall of flesh into a boundless abyss. Host my entity. Blightmaker Host my entity.

The ever declining war against life. A curse forged of earth, the descending dregs of my mind. Perpetually, becoming impatient with time. Struggling to find the empty words to write. Dead soul, disintegrate. I cant breathe another breath in this hollow void. Dead soul, evaporate. Let me feel the joy that life once gave to me. Take away the pain, this vain existence, mundane. The sun was swallowed by black clouds that only bring rain. Sawing through the veins of the world that drives me insane, I'm begging, I'm screaming!, I want to be saved. Striving to break off the chains, They're hooked inside my back. Bedeviled by the voices, bound by portentous lapse. These demons haunt me, their souls are the blackest of night. The thought of eternal silence In my mind, in my sight. Time goes on, This body permeates in the earth. The suffocating winds of sorrow sing songs of rebirth. Life has taken everything from my hands. The blood now spilling, lay waste an etiolated man. Dying desperately, within a helpless place. soul begin to fade away, the nothingness sets me free. The declining war against life. A curse forged of earth, the descending dregs of my mind. Perpetually, becoming impatient with time. struggling to find these empty words to write. Dead soul, disintegrate. I can't breathe another breath in your hollow void. Dead soul, evaporate. Let me feel the joy that life once gave to me. Take away the pain, this vain existence, mundane. The sun was swallowed by black clouds that only bring rain. Sawing through the veins of the world that drives me insane. I'm begging, I'm screaming, I cannot be saved. All my life I knew I was born to die. Snuffed from existence, mortality denied. In this moment, suspended in time. These hollow eyes, staring back at you, As our gazes collide. All my life I knew I was born to die. Snuffed from existence, mortality denied. In my final moments, was the most peace in my life. Knowing I left this hellhole behind. Born to die. I was born to die. I was born to die.

I was born into a grave, the cradle of decay. Cast into existence by a choice I never made. Cursed to wander in dread as I whither from the afflictions of age. Witness the mentality of a hollow man broken from living. There's no escape Omens of death woven round my spine Conveying feeble efforts to reclaim me from demise. Tightly entwined beneath my ever paling skin. Forever paralyzing me with somniferous grins. Called forth unto this grave, the cradle of decay. Hexed within the presence of looming misery. This crown of defeat bestowed upon my head, bears a sign of impending valedictory its so harrowing. Absent of hope, just anguish and agony Every last breath brings me closer to death. Fade to darkness. I feel the warmth wither from your skin. I endure the void, the melancholy from within. Fade to darkness. Called forth unto this grave, the cradle of decay. Hexed within the presence of looming misery. This crown of defeat bestowed upon my head, bears a sign of impending valedictory The harrowing's consuming me. Every last breath brings me closer to death.

Draconian 05:35
There's an absence of solace, Within the recesses of my mind. Encapsulated torment, Eternity dwells inside this abysmal cell. Timeless existence in perpetual hell. Duress of darkness, I hear your murmurs of callous intent. Delved between this omitted abode, a mass exodus. The echo of souls here are frozen in time. Forgotten how to live, never meant to die. Endless corridors dimly lit by moonlight reveal stories of agony the sickening sights. The atrocities of this world, now awaken to me. Mangled mutations Indulging in flesh. Vomit forth, half digested organs from their victims chest. Malicious laughter erupts throughout this labyrinth of hate. Smothered by the penance of humanity. Violence, invokes the cries of helplessness. Murdered and raped, beheaded corpses stained with black mist ejaculate. Bloodlust, psychosis gripping me tight Hacking, slashing at the fiends that bring terror in the night. Blades from remains of the creatures I've slain, Guide my hand before the throats of those dispensing horrid pain. Malice and vengeance, become me. Amidst the killing floor, I see it so clear. I have become their pinnacle of fear. They followed me into mouth of extrication. Their primal hesitation purged from within. Beyond these gnashing teeth lies your redemption. Self sacrifice, so unbecoming of me. My indulgence, this violent disdain. Sates my desire to inflict agony. Bloodlust, I cant prevent. Duress of darkness, i hear your murmurs of callous intent. There's an absence of solace Within the recesses of my mind. Encapsulated torment , Eternity dwells inside this abysmal cell. Timeless existence in perpetual hell. Open the gateway to me. Lucifer! Receive me! Within your flames I will burn voluntarily. I won't go back to a world designed for weak human beings. Hear me! Cast forth your light and lead me out of the dark. Reveal your kingdom to me.

Goëtia 04:40
Hear me now all mortals who dwell. In the temples of god, Cowering in your own filth. The walls of your sanctuaries, shall crumble to dust as I inherit the earth. Through fire and blood my dominion's confirmed as mortal legions kill each other in fear. This reign of light has come to an end, for the night is here. As I chant sacred tongues unto this endless void. The sky opens to reveal the heavens crumbling down. The blood spilt from angelic throats. rains down upon man, an unholy baptism. As I plunge my hands into the soil, the land quakes violently with unseen rage. The ground splits apart into a bottomless pit, releasing my demons. Rot under my decrepit thumb, mountains of flesh blister beneath the sun. I have given you all purpose, Swallowed by thy infernus Harbingers of decay. Bring forth the dawning of age. The messiah of death display its infinite rage. I've sauntered this realm for centuries. Awaiting prophecy. For when the ether falls with the stars into the sea.

Malignance unhinged, slither forth from the shadows. Darkness, asphyxiates the light of the moon, As venom pervades from my tongue. Bestow the vehemence of power, Wreaking the violence of desire. Come thy children, I exhume you from the land. Resurrections of hate, Tonight they feast on the lamb. Foul deformations suspended in cruciform. enchantments intertwined, mending there visceral forms. Black rivers of malice rage through the veins of hells creations, Birthing, gluttonous starvation, An iniquitous malformation. Feast on the flesh Of mothers and fathers. Rip the souls from their sons and daughters. Siphon their vessels of life, thriving my power. Blood of the victims fulfills every desire. Nigh is the time of this madness and disdain. unholy forces slipping into their domain. A bloodlust consumed in this unending mayhem. The flicker of humanity lost within them. Feast on the flesh Of mothers and fathers. Rip the souls from their sons and daughters. Siphon their vessels of life, thriving my power. Blood of the victims fulfills every desire. Malignance unhinged, slither forth from the shadows. Darkness, asphyxiates the light of the moon Bestow the vehemence of my power. Death emits from my mouth. Nigh is the time of this madness and disdain. Unholy forces slipping into their domain. A bloodlust consumed in this unending mayhem. The flicker of humanity lost within them. Rise and slay my demonic children. Summoned in darkness, This fucking noose it grips you tight. God damned this fucking race.

I've come to reign death on the land. Drowning in filth, rotting in pestilence. I have risen. Wither beneath my might. I've come to devour the land. Drowning in filth, inhale pestilence. I have risen. Wither beneath my blight. Consume me. Breathe me in. Your blood calls out to me. Contagion seeping into your skin. I am malice, I am disease. I am the prognosis for human waste, coursing through your fucking veins. Mankind shall never contain me. I've come to reign death on the land . Drowning in filth, rotting in pestilence. I have risen ,dwindle beneath thine ire of plagues. Consume me. Breathe me in. Your blood calls out to me. Contagion seeping into your skin. I am malice, I am disease. Mankind shall never contain me. I'll be the end of everything. The end of everything.

Heretics who follow the scriptures of Christ Shall perish by the sword , for we triumph tonight. rejoicing in the ecstasy of mass genocide, for all fabrication withers beneath my might. Bathing in the ichor that pours unto the universe. Claiming this throne as a conduit of misery. My Omnipresence in shadows, empty of light. The blackened bile flowing within this weeping earth. Mephistophelian figures decimate the heavens to ruins. Seraphic whores of elysian stripped of their wings. The bethels corrupted, the pastures of god set aflame Embers and ashes remain. Embers and ashes remain. Forever more. Ministers of the flame set foot on mortal shores. They speak in tongues of hatred. Conducting symphonies of blasphemy for all creation. Forever more. Ministers of the flame set foot on mortal shores. They speak in tongues of hatred. Conducting symphonies of blasphemy for all creation. The earth grew dark. The earth grew dark. Bathing in the ichor that pours, unto the universe. I've claimed you all, my conduits of misery. My omnipresence in shadows empty of light. The blackened bile flowing within this weeping earth. Mephistophelian figures, decimate the heavens to ruins. Seraphic whores of elysian stripped of their wings. The bethels corrupted. God set aflame. God set aflame. Forever more. God set aflame. Forever more. The earth grew dark. Forever.
