Infernal Incarnation

Infernal Incarnation
On the mistveiled peak of the Sentinel Hill
Among scattered remains of the past
An unholy vow has been pledged
To the ancient evil that dwells in the dust
The coven has gathered to follow the call
The secret rites have been done
Joyously initiating man's fall
For the last time to witness the eclipse of the sun
The uttermost abomination
The infernal incarnation
Manifested in a turmoil of restless limbs
And uncountable greedy jaws
The horrid body rises above
Armed with tentacles and poisonous claws
As well as beast so be as god
A living symbol of disgust
Evoking a tempest of tortured souls
Cancerous rising as a tumour of guts
Chaos opens its fevering eye
Dwelling in flames of putrefaction
The inbred darkness, gruesome divine
The infernal incarnation
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And in strange aeons even death may die
Invading the womb of the sacrificed virgin
The whore begets the heir
The black goat of the woods with a thousand young
Contaminates the pulsating air
It calls from the nightside
The god with the blinded sight
Like wolves crushing into a flock of sheep
Settled down for an unhallowed feast
Death appears more gracious than life
Their unquenchable thirst seals the end of peace
Longing for an unspeakable thrill
Man has broken the seal of salvation
Purging the world from the plague itself
Becoming the infernal incarnation
That is not dead which can eternal lie
And in strange aeons even death may die

Victims Of Depravity

Victims Of Depravity
Conform with your society
Simply follow the mass
Retell its imbecility
While despair will everlast
It’s always man’s fault
Gain brought forth this
A slowly dying world
The dead revel in bliss
Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men
Abandon, deprave, leading into grave
Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads
Explode, shred, bodies tear apart
Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts
Obey, subject, victims of depravity
Into the circles of hell
The doomed legions march
Do you hear the death knell
As weapons get recharged?
Morbid duty is the law
On ruthless killing’s command
In their regime’s iron claw
They crush this profaned land
Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men
Abandon, deprave, leading into grave
Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads
Explode, shred, bodies tear apart
Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts
Obey, subject, victims of depravity
A ceremony of ripping flesh
The path of struggle and strain
Their shrouds will turn to ashes
To relief thy earth from pain
Drowning in blood and gore
This battle can’t be won
Realizing the extent of war
They’re falling one by one
Crawl, suffer, cease, lifeless men
Abandon, deprave, leading into grave
Cremate, slaughter, erase, faceless heads
Explode, shred, bodies tear apart
Seduce, control, betray, brave mens’ hearts
Obey, subject, victims of depravity

Apocalypsis Laocoontis

Apocalypsis Laocoontis
Seine Hände sind gebunden
Ihm obliegt die Wahl zu hassen
Oder Aufwendung hiesiger Kraft
Gestaltung letzter lebenswerter Tage
All die glücklichen Erinnerungen
Woran er sich lechzend klammert
Geben ein erfülltes Leben
Unerträglich Abschied zu nehmen
Dem Tumor entwächst
Zweifel am Sinn des Daseins
Reiz am geistigen Verkümmern
Bedingt durch Gleichgültigkeit
Die süße Sehnsucht nach Leben
Erkaltet am stählernen Gitter
Gefangen im eigenen Käfig
Verzweifelt an Wut und Trauer
Die schwindende Zukunft zeigt
Den letzten Hauch einzufangen
Das dämmernde Schicksal anzunehmen
Nicht dem Leid mehr Raum zu geben
Der Gedanke an das Ende
Der Versuch es zu ändern, vergebens
Bis das widerspenstige Geschwür
Schließlich seinen Geist zerfrisst
« [...] Der Tod ist groß.
Wir sind alle die Seinen.
Die Flüsse fließen alle ohne uns.
Die Zeit verrinnt.
Und sehen Sie hinaus.
Die Sterne treiben uns verwirrt entgegen.
Nur der Tod ist grausam gewiss.
Sterben ist Grausamkeit einer Ahnungslosen.
Aber der Tod ist nicht alles. [...] »
Herzog, Werner: Nosferatu - Phantom der Nacht, 1979
Es droht der Wille zu brechen
Noch nährt ihn sein Lebensdurst
Bis zuletzt, wo der Tod Erlösung bringt
Dem alten Mann die Augen schließt
Erneut die Augen geöffnet
Mit Blick auf den Horizont
Bewusstsein des eigenen Glücks
Endlich dieser Welt entrissen

Celestial Sign
The run of time
Creates and destroys
Drowns the world
For bringing new dawn
The perennial process
Continuous decay
Causes sprouting life
Deep within me
Mother nature
Father time
Transcendental
Celestial sign
Dreamless in space
Thrown down to earth
Born into body
Exist in period
Reflect your lifetime
Perish in flames
Witness mortality
As the spirit fades
Mother nature
Father time
Fathomless
Am I blind?
Show me the reason of my existence
The cosmic outset where my soul has been bound to this transient flesh
The purpose why I am here
What leads me to eternity or will I be reborn again?
The run of time
Creates and destroys
Drowns the world
For bringing new dawn
The perennial process
Continuous decay
Causes sprouting life
Deep within me
Mother nature
Father time
Transcendental

Surreal Existence

Surreal Existence
Asking for the origin
The appearance of I
Alienation of my own
Is how to classify?
Disturbed by the sickness
My awful screams so loud
Voices from the abyss
Predict to leave this shroud
Life is just an illusion
Accept the growing distance
Death will mark the end
Of my surreal existence
Slowly fading consciousness
Within a rotting mind
Numb and disillusioned
I am following the blind
A unique disease implied
This pain ain‘t even real
My scorching spirit inside
The only I can feel
Life is just an illusion
Accept the growing distance
Death will mark the end
Of my surreal existence
Feel the great emptiness
I am all at sea
A veil lies on my face
Tormented by agony
Nihilistic thoughts destroy the days
Traumatic dreams hunt my nights
Release myself in sadistic ways
Self-disemboweled I will ignite
Life is just an illusion
Accept the growing distance
Death will mark the end
Of my surreal existence

On The Shores Of Chronos

On the Shores of Chronos
Embarking on a journey
To reveal my longing for tranquility
Far away from the dominion
Of the clamorous humanity
It‘s strange and it‘s distant
Which is never to achieve
A journey without return
Is the price of more than dreams
On the shores of Chronos
Beholding the stream of time
Filling up emptiness
With my fading life
On the Shores of Chronos
Where a beating heart turns blur
At the end of the river
That’s where I meet you
The breathing fades in the wind
Where ashes decline to dust
I bury the grain
Where all hope is lost
Unconscious and timeless
Without fertile sentiment
Lost within myself
I stroll the lifeless sand
From morning’s kiss til darkness
Until the endless march repeats
The flood grants me reason
While the ebb leaves nothing but void for me
The freedom of dreams
The light of your grace
Prepare thy farewell
Dwelling in memories
Thinking of myself
Lonesome but complete
Recognising the voice
That silently speaks through me
On the shores of Chronos
Beholding the stream of time
Filling up emptiness
With my fading life
On the Shores of Chronos
Where a beating heart turns blur
At the end of the river
That’s where I meet you
