Great Beyond
To you we speak
Our only desire
With you to meet
Take this soul
Devour at will
For our union
This blood we spill
Holy ritual
Of the Red Flame
We summon you
Oh great Unnamed
Our cries and songs
Beneath the red moon
We desire you
With us commune
Hide thy face not
Into your eyes peer
Oh Great Divine!
The Overseer

Voiceless shadows
Encircle the offering
Hooded commencement
Ceremony of transcendence
Lifeblood is siphoned
Sprinkled on altar
Esoteric utterings
Of arcane scripture
Bound to stone
And split by knife
For the Voyage to the Stars
They offer a life
Rapture
Stellar infusion
Torches
Illuminate the rite
Alchemists Magicians
Shamanic invocations
On the razor's edge
Of scientific progress
Psilocybin whispers to the cultists
Ancient
Order
Servants of the Cosmos
Blood
Magic
Pyre
In Secret
Shielded
By forest
Religious experience
Deep within the wood
The Kingdom's elite
United with the shadows
Ecstasy and Iron
Establish connection
Encroaching the limits
Of Mankind's understanding
Once nebulous
The window
That man's eye
Could not pierce
A cipher
That hides
Knowledge of Beyond
Blood
Magic
Pyre
In secret
Shielded
By forest
Cyclic
Ritual
To Behold
The Gods
Blood

Pestilence

Roaming
Slaughter
Humanity
Aflame
Red skies fortell
The arrival
Of despair
Directed by instruction
And blessed with a gift
From hell
The rape of fertile soil
Leaves countless to starvation
Droves of sickly orphans
Feast on each other
Devotion to his master
Drives chaos throughout
The land
To the Nether
They are banished
By the bloodthirsty
Horde he commands
A sliver of hope in their search
For a glimpse of the Overseer
Devilish
Biology
Unmasked by the practice
Of Witchcraft
Leaking buboes preach
The putrid gospel of Death
Shadow covers the world
Obsidian malice unleashed
On the masses
Sorcery the conduit
For endowment of contagion
Vermin legions deployed under sails
Of blissful ignorance
Amphibious assault moves forward
Unfettered across the water
Wailing mothers go unanswered
As their children die before them
In anguish
And agony
On their journey to below
A sliver of hope in their search
For a glimpse of the Great Unnamed
Devilish
Biology
Unmasked by the practice
Of Witchcraft
Leaking buboes preach
The putrid Gospel of Death
Shadows covers the world
Obsidian malice unleashed
Victorious time for those
The Servants of the Void
Ever closer to the age
Of complete annihilation

Call of the Void

|
Father of nothing
Bear witness to
Our call for thee to butcher
We gather now
With faith coalesced
To await the eclipsing moon
Centuries of devotion to
The Progenitor of Entropy
Throw this race into the depths
Take from us existence
Rip from us our souls and feast on
Fear across the earth
Stain black the sun
And hear the screams of
Multitudes in panic
We recognize the one and true God
Death we worship thee
Weave us into your blackened cloak
And sail across the stars
Give ear to our cries of fellowship
Our desire
Your face revealed
Spring from the chasm
Fly to us
Devour your sons and daughters
Rip our flesh with your stellar teeth
As we gaze into the abyss
We make our beds in the shadows of
Your wings noir limitless
Witching hour the precipice
Of humanity's life cycle
Millennia of cultist work
Orchestrated in the shadows
Sleeping masses know not of which
Is crawling towards their bedside
The sun will set on the human race
When ripped the Higgs field becomes
Man will sleep
One final time
And dream of extinction
Morning light
Devoured by
The Great Nothing
We've followed your voice into
Caverns dark
Absent of light
And bereft of life
Embraced the arts
Of the truest Black Magic
Wielded only by Death
Oblivion we offer ourselves to thee
Make barren our corner of space
Deflect our sentience over
The event horizon
We call on the now!
Photons shift into infrared as
Light in the chamber dims
Silence descends
On the hooded mass
As the Hadron Dragon awakes
Screens and speakers emit
The static ocean through which they wade
Patiently waiting the overtone
That signifies Death's presence
Witching hour the precipice
Of humanity's life cycle
Millennia of cultist work
Orchestrated in the shadows
Sleeping masses know not of which
Is crawling towards their bedside
The sun will set on the human race
When ripped the Higgs field becomes
Man will sleep
One final time
And dream of extinction
Morning light
Devoured by
The Great Nothing
Ineffable the terror that
Will befall the galaxy
Insatiable
The beast that comes
From far dimensions

Omnicide
05:32
|
|||
|
From the depths unseen
With malice reach
Death invades in silence
Shrouded within
The catacombs of once
Flourishing life now extinct
Animating space and time
With malevolent intent
The destroyer paints with black
Setting out once more
To continue the feast
To biology's fingerprint erase
Crawling through the vacuum
Whence an epoch succumbed
To the teeth that gnash life's flame
Eyes affixed on the sufferer
Who will soon be plunged in the Void
Omnicide
Nomadic plague
Bound not by law
Phantom artist of ruin
The beast consumes
In hopeless attempts
To its hunger satisfy
Proxima Centuri Manducatus
Orion-Cygnus Contritus
Panthera Leo Exculptus
Pleiades Interfectus
Omnicide

More bleak, enveloping atmospheric black metal from the masters at the Vendetta label, “aevum” is both harrowing & strangely beautiful.
