Monuments to Degradation
06:50

Empty cold eyes
Stare blank forever
Among the dead
Buried beneath them
Guardians of eternity
Groundskeepers of solemn plains
Stone rots
slower than flesh
Monuments to divinity
Only to decay in time
The dust on the breeze
All that remains
Stone wings
Too heavy to fly
What is an Angel trapped on the ground,
But another body to rot?

Weight of Darkness

The godling
In the mind’s eye
Twinkling darkness Folds
Bodies strewn across the land
Everflowing patterns arise
Upon the Crucified immortal dragon
An ocean of power from a mere drop of rain
Swords of the sky
Seeking an earthly throat
Selfish fallen gods
Gain power from worship alone
Convergence of power
Igniting ancient flames and severing cosmic ties
A burden no more
I was a god and now I ascend
Eternal throne, slave to my blade no more
Dragnipur!

Weeping in the bleak, gray garden
Feeding (the) earth with caustic tears
Seeking (the) obsidian embrace of night
A corpse feigning as a soul
Sedated by the burden of presence
The corpse’s breathing slowed
One breath a season,
Sighing a winter storm
Thy Eternal funeral
But without burial
The wish of life: the only thing that dies
An end to forever
Who will grant death to the deathless
Knighted by the blessing of Death
The kingdom I look upon
Greets me with eyes
As empty as my own
Reaching out with something like desperation
Death guides my hand
Champion of ruin
Galloping a dread steed
The corpse turns his head
Towards the sun
Immeasurable forces that keep my body poised
In the posture of a corpse that lives and breathes

The Spire
04:28

The eagle upon
The Highest peak
Replaced by the vulture
Black wings fly
Cavernous and dark
My screams echo for centuries
Among dead roots and damp earth I rest
Cascaded,
Bleak sorrow
Transcending life and death
I’ve passed away
But life’s pain has found me
From my dead heart
A dread spire rises
The peak grown from pain
Reaching towards the heavens
Ever searching for peace
Away from the anguish of earth
An eternal perch for the seeker of death
I rot away at the base of the spire
