1. THE VOID CARESSED

In poverty of the soul
Night the limbs wept
In peril all shadows halt
That all flesh failed

The teeth of time gnaw aloud
Born of times past
Reciting a sanguine script
Etched on death's grief

Drag from beauty all the blood that melted our truth
Deadness hangs from beneath the breath of forever
For the Sabbath sleeps below a vault unhallowed
Sheltered, shrouded, scorn of lightning; The void caressed

From the holy tree shaken
Night falls to earth
Like the waves that bled the moon
In her vast glow

Drag from beauty all the blood that melted our truth
Deadness hangs from beneath the breath of forever
For the Sabbath sleeps below a vault unhallowed
Sheltered, shrouded, scorn of lightning; The void caressed


2. AT THE FOOT OF KNEELING WORLDS

Time drips impossible
Coax the sun from the skies
A heathen to canvas
Of cowering despair
Names dance in emptiness
To porcelain crosses

An antique famine
Embossed shadow-robes
Of a skinned palette
Ghosts swam frigid lakes

Bones fed red flowers
Weapons carried blood
Landscapes we embark
With lore peculiar

Time drips impossible
Coax the sun from the skies
A heathen to canvas
Of cowering despair
Names dance in emptiness
To porcelain crosses

Stirred with the wand of life
At the foot of kneeling worlds

Consciousness defleshed
Dreadful sin anoints
Earth swift in disdain
Gentle murder fades

At the foot of kneeling worlds
Death to man


3. CLOTTED SCRIPTURE

Light seeps from the flesh of butchered dawn
The holy corpse falls
We sleep on the thorns and swim through graves
Sea painted wind scent

Hearts shivered in seance
'neath a century of prayer
Spells soaring through darkness
An avalanche of marrow
Storms discharging curses
Pride that nothingness worshipped

Throats shine in the moon like glowing teeth
Left in fragments gone
For this tomorrow blooms remembrance
Swept by silent doom

Hearts shivered in seance
'neath a century of prayer
Spells soaring through darkness
An avalanche of marrow
Storms discharging curses
Pride that nothingness worshipped

The pulse of god, a possessing fixture
Psalms betraying with clotted scripture
Now hammers strike causing mass fissure
Prayers decaying with clotted scripture


4. GHOST INFINITY

Lepers bled murky shade sheltered by holiness
Worship of blackest suns forever blossoming
Embossed scars polluted with vile caresses
Tears ablaze in lucid bloodletting mementos

Taken from the mortal realm
Embrace of the trinity
Long immured for sins of flesh
Calls the ghost infinity

Taken from the mortal realm
Embrace of the trinity
Long immured for sins of flesh
Calls the ghost infinity

Lepers bled murky shade sheltered by holiness
Worship of blackest suns forever blossoming
Embossed scars polluted with vile caresses
Tears ablaze in lucid bloodletting mementos
