Prescited

Darkened tomb
Lying still
Death inside
Silent chill

Made of clay
I rot away
In filth I lay
My thoughts remain

The hour strikes
The time is nigh
Burning flames
Beyond the gate

In hell I rise
Smoke through the sky
Infernal dreams
Set me free

Flesh on fire
Flaying skin
Piercing screams
From within

In these catacombs
Bright red glare
Forced to bleed alone
For a thousand years

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Barathrum

Abyss of black
Haunting my mind
Cannot come back
Disfigured guise
Enthroned in sin
The rite begins
Planting the seed
Evil decreed

No sanctity in this abyss

I spiral down
Cries of my name
In lust I drown
Life I reclaim

Pious life sand
Slips through my hand

Dark clouds of ash
Steal my lung’s breath

Crown of thorns
Grows into horns
Forked black tongue
Barathrum

Changing my shape
Shedding my skin

Evil incarnate
Hatred is my fate
Made a misanthrope
Lacerated throat

In this place I burn
See my changing face (return)
Immoral fall from grace

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Kenosis

Crestfallen son
We drink your blood
And eat your flesh
At your behest

Ceremony of death
Fires of demon’s breath

Pale bones of old

Heresy
Dead ash tree
Written in stone
The omen
Into the black one

Forsaken son
Betrayed by God
Divinity
From you is leeched

Ritual of Kenosis
Your holy body splits

The act of emptying
Unholy blasphemy

We are aflame
As you waft away
In these lands
We will breed

You hang in searing pain
This cross is stained with holy bane

These are infernal lands
Nazarene; your time at hand

Empyrean
So high above
Mocking the son
Thy will is done

Tyrant father
Your son upon the cross
His body is cold
He’s died a mortal man

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Aliunde

Spell of the moon
Winds burn my loathsome heart
Curse of the sun
Descending from the sky

Not knowing why
The seed of life will die

Archaic scrolls bleed
Foretelling of this sin
Jesus is blind
Revenant of life begins

Now he will see
Portal of sacred dreams
Demon freed

Arrive
From elsewhere
Doorway
To netherworld

Decreed
To be
One of these
Fleshless beasts

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Winterkill

Falling snow
Obscures my waning sight
Freezing blood flows
Through veins of purest black
Stiffening heart
Drums out its last
Meandering
This land of sin
Winterkill
From within

With frozen tears
I mark my grave

The burning sun
Mocking my fate
With fire above
In choking cold I lay
In this despair
Waiting for death here

My body’s still
Winterkill
My breath in clouds
White tomb enshroud

The sun hides
In the coming night
The winter moon
Is my last sight

And so I die

Winterkill

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Cacodemomania

Spitting blood
And blasphemy
Fuck the cross
The holy sign of the weak

Innocence
Taken from me

I speak in tongues
You will see
The devil’s hooks in me

Rape the name of god
Reject invination
Rip the holy book of Christ
Burning hallowed grounds

Scar my face
And bind my wrists
Preach his name
And his eternal bliss
You are a slave
Revolted one
But I am free
Cacodemon in me

Violently
I break my chains
Still convulsing
Pathetic priest
I eat your face
And think of Christ
Hearing you beg
Only gives me strength

Bloody rain falls from above
Poisoning your religion
Forcing open the eyes
Of mournful Christian scum

Satan
Dictates my thoughts
Possessed
From the world depart

Penance unto god
Seance of unholy ones

Triumph
Corrupt the weak
Black heart
Cacodemon in me

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Sarcophagous

Read the words of death
Hold on to your last breath
Bleed before the king
Upon your wounds I feast

I rend the flesh
Only way I can refresh
Pray to your god
Blood drips down from my claws

Sand and filth thrown in thy mouth
To keep the sound from pouring out
Leeching the blood
Descending fate
Mocking your god
With venomous hate

Sting of broken bones
Cold hands upon your throat
Dream of Jesus Christ
Pathetic waste of life

I tear the hide
Only way I can revive
Call to your lord
Your blood cleansing my sword

Burning flames engulf the stake
Still alive to abdicate your pain

You will see life eternal
Not as promised, but as a part of me
Eaten your soul
We become as one
Wretched and cold
Thy fucking will be done

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Flamen

We summon thy flame to burn the fields of God
We open the seven gates to purge the righteous filth
who crawl before our lord

Heaven in flames
Angels ablaze
Holy decay
Fading away
We praise thy name
Witness the fall
Of the white throne

May the gates tear down
May the blood drip from the crown
See Leviathan rise from the sea
Hear the horns blow in victory
Nazarene; savior of the weak

Darkening sky
Suffocates the sun
Divine last right
Web of hatred spun
Ordained to crawl
There is no peace

We spit the plague
Into thy face
Fester away
To this we pray

Dark lord of all
Hear our call

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Malison

Restless in hate
My mind irate
See through my eyes
And feel my spite
This spell ingrained
Poisons your veins

Afflicted pain
Cast down upon thy name

This curse begins
A hex of sin
Heinous violence
Profound silence

Cascading plagues infect
You putrid skin is flecked
With sores and oozing pus
Offensive foul rot

Afraid, you plead
Upon your knees
But God can’t save you now
In excrement you drown

Suffer this malison
Tie the noose around your neck
Write down your final words
Tears run down mortified skin

-Lyrics by Kathodos

Oubliette

Cold stone
Beset me here
Morose
Alone

Dancing shadows above my head
Hopelessly I reach into the hollow
Into the hollow

Faint light
Has disappeared
Blackness
Immerses me
In this deep

Dancing shadows above my head
Hopelessly I reach into the hollow
Into the hollow

Waiting for something to happen
Forgotten in this prison
Longing to lie down and rest a while
But I’m frozen here
Desolate

Hopelessly I reach into the hollow
Into the hollow

My time has come
My screams have stopped
Forgotten

-Lyrics by Kathodos
