The Wanderer 04:31
lyrics

I left the house one morning intent on self-destruction There was nothing for me anyway I wandered away that September morning, ragged clothes, and stingy rations There was nothing for me anyway I squandered my life in dereliction, wearing caprice like a scarlet letter There was nothing for me anyway Our roof caved in My progeny are lewd and vile There’s nothing left to eat The dirty pigs, they have a better share Years of sojourn taught me well: one day I returned Savouring familiar sights and familiar smells Yearning for such homely bread and iridescent wine Even when forgiveness came, still I wandered on Still I wandered on Still I wonder Vagrancy’s Sin Over hills and valleys, wander The swamps took me in They sank the same way that I did

Void 03:29
lyrics

This will blow your mind This will seduce you You will lose your path and dance with madness Everything new, all that’s undiscovered This will taint the youth and steal your daughter The bedlam of culture: hysterics, desire Burn your crosses and make your martyrs Blackened corpses Smoking pictures Begone my senses And leave me eyeless Cut open your head Spill your mind on the street Fill the void with this pollution Devour it all, consumed in hatred

Visions 08:37
lyrics

Seer, gaze on cosmos unimagined Polymath, pry through points of erudition Seeker, reach mind’s inner eye Manteia, under starry night Past the noise and past the consternation A psyche filled with all that must be kept Into dust our mortal frames still pass Though cast to fire an inner spark burns rife Visions of holy dread Threats of extinction, an opus surrendered Visions of apotheosis See through the mirage Will not constrain you, will not erase you Visions of the mirage Will not constrain you, will not erase you Visions of the mirage Rising over and beyond Metanoia: old ways gone Adamantine, Apollo’s one Pierce through the mirage Will not constrain you, will not erase you Visions of the mirage Will not constrain you, will not erase you Visions of the mirage Will not constrain you, will not erase you Visions of the mirage Leave no stone unturned, vanquish every trace Tear asunder shrouds blinding higher fate Through elemental dust claim Cazimi’s prize A Cylix to the stars Be dowsed in the light Be dowsed in the light Be dowsed in the light

Last Judgement 05:52
lyrics

Begin at the end, lest what’s said is unrepeated Cloven desire: mercurial lusting for a past undelivered Strive for perfection Our desecration The unequal masses are unencumbered Come, my children, come I am the father that guides you safe passage I will deliver your body and your spirit to the flame To the holy flame Come, my children, come Bring me the daughter of the ocean and the forest I will bless her with every lying spirit Come, my sheep, now, come Deliver her body unto me now children Give me everything thing she has I will condemn her Take her downwards The devils and the priesthood Will throw her into hell

Garden 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Dip your toes in the pool, oh heretofore saint Beguiled by euphoria, temptation awaits Animals of every persuasion, part human and other Deliberate sabotage to muse and to savour Stricken from heavenly mountains The earth itself rendered upon delivery of failings All things are lost but not all is obliterated Peek through the veil to see what is fated Party, magnificence await! Every sensation and pleasure to taste Dwell in every orgy and feast, every fruit of desire, the glee of the thief Creatures and birds of carnal delight Pray at the shrine, let thy flesh ignite With lusts, and passions, and glee unsanctioned Indulge and consume uninhibited grandeur Until of course, the earth is ravaged The fires of Armageddon rage and savage As demons taste of souls now plundered Forget paradise, for you have blundered Then with unquiet and disaffection Slip in the ether of eternal damnation

The Haywain 02:02
lyrics

Rebirth on a new plane I now live enmeshed in every politic We gathered around making hay and love Music and revelry Everything ever, rolled into one Now complete, down goes the sun In Nirvana and Inferno And I found a golden bracelet…
