Chthonic Cult : I Am the Scourge of Eternity

Lyrics


1. AS THE VOID BECKONS

Casting the spell
To open the gates
As whirling darkness
Crawls through the opening
With the deafening roar
Of dimensions unknown
Reality crumbles
As the void beckons

Lines of dark runes
Marking the skin
Verses of occult wisdom
Secrets of uncreation
Sacrifice commences
To the god of the hanged
And the noose tightens
As the void beckons

Breaking the chains
The blood-covered blade
Slashes and cuts
The entanglement of the veins
Trembling in terror
As the circle is broken
And awakening begins
As the void beckons

Torn from reality
Poison pumps through the veins
Crippling the mind
Breaking perception
The forest has eyes
Darkness comes alive
The sacred flame burns
As the void beckons

Bow down your ash-stained heads
To the fall and the burning of the heavens
Open your tortured souls
To the blade of the destroyer of time
Let the whites of your eyes
Be pierced by the light of annihilation
Let the death of your minds
Become the source of ultimate cleansing

The spirit howls
In the glare of the moon
The spirit howls
As the void beckons

The spirit awakes
In the glare of the moon
The spirit awakes
As the void beckons


2. THE ABYSS TRIUMPHANT

Beneath the pulse of the howling insane
Grasping the scorched ground that trembled and tore
We hopelessly fought the world of decay
Our faces branded by black flames of war

Now sombre shores lined with funeral pyres
Putrid smoke disappearing in the rain
Cities of dark windows we leave behind
As on the seas of oblivion we sail

The waters are frigid and the mist clinging
Cold to our faces obscures the decay
On the horizon – the abyss draws near
Where the expanse of oceans fades away

And as we inhale the razor-sharp void
To frost crimson the blood in our lungs turns
And as we are pierced by a gaze hollow
With howling insane nothingness ascends


3. ASUNDER!

Forevermore the walls of Cromlechs stand
The weaving Fates beneath the eternal oak
The embrace cold of undying majesty
The cosmos cleansed of material decay

Pierced are the eyes by a cutting fiery gaze
Of lightning’s might on the slopes of burial mounds
The awe and the terror
Pulse of the sacred storm
The mysticism of ritual and death

Oh, Thou immortal!
Who wields the wheels of time
Master of sleep
Of throbbing agony
Awakening
And life and death alike
Sunder the chains of eternal return!

The eyes that never sleep
The divine who clenches the magic bonds
Wielder of the occult wisdom
The spells of torment and liberation

Conqueror of space and time
He that grants the sacred madness
He who feeds on fires and war
Devourer of sacrifice

The light of wisdom
From aeons beyond time
Shot on through the nebulae
The star over the holy mountain

The hand that joins and divides
The hand that tortures and heals
The hand that frees the waters
The slayer of demons and giants

Sunder the chains!
Set the world aflame!


4. I AM THE SCOURGE OF ETERNITY

I have seen the wheel of destiny stop
I have seen the prison walls of time shatter
As the winds of the void blew across dimensions
Their howling and their roar tore sanity asunder

The third eye was opened and it slowly turned inwards
The third eye was opened to behold and to reveal
A dormant seed of ancient madness within
And the within and the beyond again became as one

The mouth was opened and the tongue was made to speak
The tongue was made to speak in a language forgotten
Older than hills – and its sound echoed
The whisperings of the ones that dwell below

And of aeons before time they spoke
The aeons before the wheel began to turn
When the winds of the void roared free
Across the border between darkness and light

A vision morbid
Insanity rears its head
A vision liberating
A voice from beyond

Then the Gods slew the Giants
In war and sacrifice
Sacred fires glared
In the depths of the primordial night

And of the severed limbs
Of the Giants that fell
Of the cursed blood of the demons
Cast down from the heavens
The cosmos was formed
And it was trapped in time

Then the first men wept and fled in terror
As their souls were imprisoned in matter
Their destinies chained down to the scorched earth
Their eyes were blinded forevermore

In drought and famine they dwelt
Chastised by pestilence and war
Women cried their eyes out
And men ground their teeth in wrath

Chained in the samsara
Enslaved in the Iron Age

I am reborn
Beyond life and death
Beyond spirit and matter
Beyond dimensions and time

I am reborn
The symbol of light on my forehead
The sword of darkness in my hand
The destroyer and the liberator

I am reborn
I am the scourge of eternity

I am the destroyer
I am the liberator
I am the breaker of chains
The bringer of ultimate cleansing

I am reborn
I am the scourge of eternity
