Psalm I 04:37
Stealing their prey Bound with rope The burden of light Shall be revoked Forced to the podium Revealing their plan Concealing sacred knives Marked to be damned Sadistic intentions Cutting fresh hell A sabbath of cloaks assembled at the chapel Chanting hymns to summon him Bring thee the knife, completion of the sermon Dripping the beast upon his head Something's here with us, the candles light Trapped inside the circle, his soul takes flight The burning of the olive branch, inhaling sin As the moon changes phases in the night The damned's life drains Fists that were once gripped so tight Silhouettes of specters on the mass Farewell to another life has passed To wonder on equinox The chill of spirit air It passes beyond Trapped between worlds Stranded and forgotten Blank, the unnamed Silent and haunting He beckons the cunning Candle light is flickering Writhing, hear him scream Moon spells, cast them now
2.
Psalm II 02:37
Descend into obscurity, ascend into the sky Funeral winds now rage and my body shall lie Upon the sacred alter they spoke my name in hate Recollections, life and sin, now decide my fate Incantations set my soul free They drag my shell towards a shallow grave Songs sung in Salem Memories only remain Is there life after death? Will I live again? Light now fades on my crypt Eternal sleep for the dead My ghost will not rest until there are less, doubt that there will be Utopia/euphoria in my world to see
3.
Psalm III 14:13
A figure walking shadowless Gently grazing with a frozen touch Under ash and unnatural fumes The saber dripping endlessly Glaring faces of victims and lurks for more Drawing them near, past the gate Behold the Crow Be gone the temptation Beckoning Heathen's call Moved by forces of withdrawal It paints my soul abstract Plaguing skin, flesh starts to react Clenched by the ground, a vice, and conspired to turn my skin into ice As the Martyr looked down upon the natural rubble of the ceremony, he dreamt his soul to be lighter than the incantational smoke to escape the evening. Chained to the atmosphere and forced to look at the blasphemy which eroded his body, his name had been cursed with sacrilegious hymns. Blinded by disbelief and a dizzy psyche, he questioned. How does one suffer after death? How can one endure so much torment? How is misery so capable as to entrench itself into the cracks of a broken spirit? To be battered and to witness the desecration of his human remains. Obliterated, so loved ones cannot pay homage to what used to be a man. Feeding the sadistic needs of a despicable being. Giving life to fuel another. A vicious cycle, it continues. (3x) Full moon Compelling Forces Ensnaring Recluse Twining Patient Starving (3x) Bastard Menacing Captive Fading Smoldered Lifeless Mangled Hideous To thee that find me, just take my eyes and leave me be I am no longer, disrupt the earth for my remains A burial Burning in vain His final remains He cannot be one The sleeping sun Screams turn calm Howling the psalm Swaying gone, for far too long The night burns on
