Terra Ishtar

Accursed fog
Descends and spreads
Scorching the firmament
The fetid air chokes the earth
With diseased hands
Spirit corroded
Body devoured
Memory of life
Razed to ash
Murky light casts shadows of remorse
On a burning lake of acid tears
Shimmering faces of admonition
Reflected gaze of condemnation
I laid the foundation of this hell
I shaped this world with my own hands
A broken land
Cleansed by fiery winds
The swollen sun
Casts its callous judgement,
Ignites the scourge
Of an endless road,
Eternal path of punishment and regret

Babylon
11:52
|
|||
Lifeless frozen permanence
As far as the eye can see
Dying, our sun fades to black
What once was is now gone
Wastelands, littered with all but life
Uninhabited for eternity
Ahh Babylon
A ghost town for demons is all that's left
A garrison of carrion spirits
Garrison of loathsome carrion birds
The only thing left of Babylon is blood
The blood of saints and prophets
The murdered and the martyred
Oh Babylon, the whole earth has drank the madness in your wine
Now a day has come when you must pay for every crime
Our death will come slowly
The nights become longer
False hope, false gods
Nothing but lies
Captive in our own delusion
A ghost town for demons is all that's left
A garrison of carrion spirits
Garrison of loathsome carrion birds
The only thing left of Babylon is blood
The blood of saints and prophets
The murdered and the martyred

Eschaton
12:59
|
|||
Void of hope
Faith gone
Nothingness devours
Extinction assured
Null, slate wiped clean
Utterly blanked out
Unto the metagalaxy
Scattered throughout existence
Particles of ancient origin
Extinction
The charred and broken bones of cities
The frigid breath of a sunless sky
Sores in the earth bleed liquid fire
Cursed fate, scorched dust
Ash cloud, the sun black, forgone
Life is revoked
Fallow, this vast space once more
The day the world ends
No one will be there
Just as no one was there when it began
This is a scandal
Such a scandal for the human race
That it is indeed capable collectively, out of spite
Of hastening the end of the world by all means
Just so it can enjoy the show

Caverns of Edimmu
13:11
|
|||
Morose subsistence
Befouled dwellings
Unreal providence
Discoloured flesh
Insanity calls
Wretched life
Festering bodies
Morbid age
Life confined underground
No daylight, only flame
Born of earth and disease
Catacombs, our home
Severance from all that was
Now entombed alive
At the end of it all
Pitiful excuse for life
There’s none more deserving than the human race
Suicide, common practice
No other release as the doom unfolds
Eulogy unspoken
Our failures resonate
In timeless folds of space
Twisted becomings
Derive foundations
Lurking beneath us
Thrives that which succeeds us
No longer lucid
Trapped within these walls
Buried in our filth
Death will become us
Emptied of all thought
Drained and bewildered
Born of undoings
Comes such redemption
