The Calling
11:26
|
|||
|
come and behold
hear and understand
speak into the void
break now this seal
between worlds
of light
of darkness
of mourning
of blood
rise now
to decend
feel now
the power
invoke the names
the north
the south
the east
the west
carry us
with infinite jest
raise the dagger
drink the cup
the beggars
the kings
the bride and her rings
the worms
the rust
the fire and the dust
hear us
release us
above us
beneath us
within us
without us
enshrine us
empower us
into the abyss

The Acolyte
11:33
|
|||
|
I have looked
into the words
many worlds
of pain and pleasure
the suffering divine
consequence of action
in all things
shallowness
emptiness
lamentations
gnashing teeth
hounds
of hell
at my heels
invisible
perpetual
insufferable
insatiable
why have you forsaken me
I've grown tired
weary
of this place
and it's hollow promises
setting out
into the deep
with madness
with contempt
bereft
in solitude
embarking
on journeys end
event horizon
upon me
swallowed
into myself
I will be free
angels weep

The Master
10:45
|
|||
|
darkest night falls
searching through the fog
limiltess treachery
hungry ghosts call
a hand
appears
the path
unfolds
gone ahead
to make a way
you are ready
child why do you seek
what will you gain
turn back from this place
for all is vain
I am weary
from these travels
of the flesh
of blood and bone
turning
from this world
seeking
cosmic home
the deepest stardust
where fire eternal burns
dancing with the spirit
in all twists and turns
wisdom and folly
entwined in embrace
behold all beauty
behold the face
follow your failing light
into inner darkness
casting off all illisions
no gods or devils
you are master

The Initiation
07:04
|
|||
|
enter
freely
of thine
own will
a journey ended
a journey begun
dead
and yet alive
sight beyond eyes
wisdome beyond mind
time beyond time
step now
inside
squaring the circle
soul and mind
body and flesh
to seek and find
|

The Incantation
06:04
|
|||
|
we seek thee
beseech thee
in this place
now gathered
arise
arise
shirah
shirah
burning the offering
our hearts ablaze
your beauty and splendor
fallen from grace
arise
arise
judgement and mercy
compassion and hate
free us now
from wheels of fate
oh great serpent
in knowledge tree
bright morning star
we come to thee

The Trials I
09:07
|
|||
|
it begins
with a whisper
with intention
opposition rises
begin
manifest
the great tuning
resonates
rattling bones
cells torn asunder
terror gripping
frozen iron fist
clenches the heart
tearing sanity
beyond the deep
chaos star risiing
entropy the knot
a gordian soul
cut through
by the sword of amalek
time's ceaseless march
shaken core
deranged
estranged
disassociated
dissonance
falling
deeper
into
the cube
smaller
and smaller
|

7. |
The Trials II
11:26
|
|||
|
suffer for your hubris
throw yourself in demon's grasp
arrogance
petulance
opulence
decadence
the fate you bring is your own
kneel and worship at my throne
where are your angels
where is your god
where are your values
where is your soul
you are in my hand
throw yourself
upon the rocks
feed yourself
with a raven's feast
crucify yourself
on your cross
raise your serpent
upon the staff
in the wilderness
in the wilderness
alone
and ravens
shall pick your bones
clean and bleached
in scorching sun
let there be
no remnant
from generation
to generation
they will remember
betrayer
unclean
unworthy
unforgiven
your insolence
a mark on your head
unto the gates of hell
all damnation
and subjugation
for all time and time and time that follows
an example strung up
a warning for the hopeful
for your tired
for your hungry
for no help will come
feed yourselves

The Tribulations
09:38
|
|||
|
tears in rain
fears and pain
is this really happening
this is really happening
there is no escape
there is no more fate
----the glory
---the nightfall
lose yourself
no one else
is this fire raining
is this devil reigning
there is no escape
there is only hate
--delectable
--naievety
innocence
benevolence
disappointed
irrelevance
falling from the sky
the watcher observes
the chosen cast down
the order subverted
and all is revealed
the light is the darkness
the darkeness is light
the demons spout wings
the demons take flight
|

The Revelation
12:14
|
|||
|
journey's end
the door is open
the end of trials
the curtain falls
only become
what you are
find your home
beyond the stars
ride the comet
ride the air
ascend your summit
and meet me there
leave behind
the shell of you
shed the serpent
skin anew
to thine own self be true
forsaking all others
through tirals and tribulations
become the all in all
raging
swirling
infinite
beyond ancient deep
prevail
where
heavens and hells
fail
your ascencion is nigh
the old ones await
thrown into the pit
as above so below
rise now
a bright morning star
adorned with many crowns
adorned with many wands
adorned with many cups
adorned with many swords
adorned with many pentacles
you are magic and will

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Abyssal Gods

47 years ago I saw an Irish Spring commercial explaining the green and white stripes in their soap. 47 hours later I had boosted a kitchen knife and was standing in the bathtub slicing up a bar of it saying "two deodorants" as each sliver fell to my feet. 7 years ago this LP happened. 7 minutes ago I started typing this. Genius. I could see it then and I can see it now. I have everything these hipsters have put out. This is my favourite.
