Our Lady of Lacerations

Queen of the Black Earth, rejoiced in lust and blood
You crush the skulls of men beneath your feet
The gold on your limbs is outshone by your nigrescent eyes
as we beg entrance to the garden of razor wire and meat
Diabolical Mother of Abominations
to fill the Chalice of your Fornication
We bleed the wine of mutilation
Libations for Our Lady of Lacerations
Hail Nahema, full of cruelty, you flay skin to weave your whips
and bleeding tapestries as you sing your spells
Scarlet Harlot in blood-washed silk, Hell's bells on your writhing hips
Your bewitchments caused Heaven to rebel...
Let the Seven-Headed Beast rise up from Hell!
For your beauty, angels fell!
Diabolical Mother of Abominations
to fill the Chalice of your Fornication
We bleed the wine of mutilation
Libations for Our Lady of Lacerations

In Shadows Encloaked

Behold - the Rampant Flame
the Rushing Torrent
the Ripping Sky
the Heaving Earth
the Shrinking Heavens
the Gaping Hells
The End of All Time!
Blood of sacrifice ciphered the songs
in Books of Chaos, Books of Flames,
of Shadows and Shells, with raw throats sung
in accursed tongues ... a Thousand Dead Names!
Lo, the Locks on the Gates do rust
with each scarlet drop that wets the dust
...to limn forbidden signs
and force foul stars to align
to break the Cosmic chains that bind
the Dreaming Dead in depths confined!
That which now stands
May sink
and what has sunk
may soon rise
when the Gods of Man
wither in fear
as formless shadows
swarm the skies...
Flesh burned as incense, live, writhing on coals
Roaring black waves flood,
A thousand throats cut with blessed blades
for the Hunger of the... Idiot God!
Now Hinge and Lock succumb to rust
Wind ignites and dirt combusts
Tentacles rape the world with forceful thrusts
that pull the guts from Earth's crust
No bracing the Gates against Their ancient hate
The prophecy is writ
A thousand occulted years of bloody prayers
Their power grows
Just beyond the Gate, yes, They lie in wait
at the brink of the Pit
Do you feel their stare? They're ever lurking near
in shadows encloaked

Tomb With a View

Knock three times at the entrance to the graveyard
Salutations to the Skeleton Saint
Three coins at the gate for the Black Hound
The Keeper of the Grave Mounds
Pour out liquor on the thirsty earth
Black, white, and red
Shadows crawl out at the calling
with the promise of being fed...
A flash in the grim silence
The scent of gunpowder and fresh blood
The hungry dead roused to violence
as vital wines mingle with the mud
Wormwood fumes, aloft the form
Vaporous shapes limned in smoke
Souls ripped from the guts of worms
to flesh the ghost evoked
The blood of enemies is the blood of sacrifice
Black cats with your hair fed
A crooked moon reflected in a reddened knife
Your life an offering to the dead!
Oh, how I hate you
These words I speak in cursed string
to bind about your wretched soul
until the rot sets in...
Exsurgent Mortui et ad me veniunt!
Welcome to your grave
The place prepared for you
In life my foe, in death my slave
Locked in a tomb with a view...
Oh, how I hate you
A rotten seed, a bloated corpse that grew
I harvest your soul, nevermore to sleep
Locked in a tomb with a view.

The Altar is the Pit

IA! Nyarlathotep!
Only the flames of corpse tallow burning
illuminates the Temple of the Faceless God
Concealed from Sun and Moon and Stars
deep inside Earth's open scars
...and in corners shadows gather
to a tangible morass
They extend through Angles, poison tendrils
grim grip so firm and fast
The altar is the Pit and its exhalations
speak of rot and defunct life
A writhing shape rises up to our exaltations
and extends the envenomed knife...
"With this dagger will you slay the
World and further the reach of my
Hand; cast death on land and sea and
sand - slick my tongue with the blood of
Man..."
Thus we do his work
Rape, pillage, poison and murder
And in turn we learn
New ways of revelry, of sin, and slaughter!
Thus His Cult was formed,
a septic thorn in Creation's side
to fester, decay and deform
until the Gateway to the Other Side is gaping wide!
The altar is the Pit, Womb of Abomination
Birthing monstrosities and shades
The vehicles of Love and Light's extermination
Deadly as any bullet, bomb or blade
and it hungers for crimson libations
The liquor of perforated veins
It echoes psalms of the flesh and its mortification
Pronouncing Forbidden Names...
Call the Crawling Chaos...
The altar is the Pit and the Highest Below
His Majesty, the Black Sun of Night
Tender of the garden where nought can grow
The Blackest Black to taint the White
The altar is the Pit, depths that none can know
save in falling or Eternal Flight
Black Night calling, brightest sun appalling
Crawling Chaos clawing at the Light!
We call the Crawling Chaos!

The leprous earth, ripe with sickness
A Name revealed to every witness
Twist flesh, bend bone, warp wood and stone...
The Shadow
The Darkness
NETHESCURIAL
...what lurks beneath?
Your roots spread far and invade deep
One drop of your blood poisons the sea
You watch from within the flame
Behind the mask of nature you lie
You who flows and slithers and boils and writhes
In evil is revealed your name...
The Shadow
The Darkness
NETHESCURIAL
...what lurks beneath?
"In the rooms of houses and beyond their walls,
Beneath dark waters and across moonlit skies,
Below earth mound and above mountain peak,
In northern leaf and southern flower...
Inside each star and the voids between them,
Within blood and bone, through all souls and spirits,
Among the watchful winds of this and several worlds
Behind the faces of the living, and the
Dead..."

Open the gate to Yog-Sothoth!
The circle is marked in blood and smoke
Black Eagle grasps the stones
The altar stained afresh with red
and dirt seeded with bone
Poison fills the air
Screams give voice to the Tome
The stars are parted, the moon eclipsed
and all plunged into gloam...
Usher in the Great Change!
Blood opens the doorway!
We tear a hole in the sky!
For the Old Ones, all shall die!
With cleansing fire they shall come
Scorching like a thousand black suns
Pouring through the perforation
Earth is overrun!
The world of man shall fall
as tentacles creep and crawl
A writhing wave of devastation
sweeping over all!
For countless centuries
with ritual blasphemies
We've toiled for Their liberation
with crooked keys
And now the Aeon ends
The New Reign begins
Proliferating abominations
Gluttonous for sin!
Usher in the Great Change!
Blood opens the doorway!
We tear a hole in the sky!
For the Old Ones, all shall die!
