THE WHORE OF BABYLON
Mother of doom
Herald the moon
Mistress of beasts
Sands of the east
Harlot of death
Taker of breath
Knees in the mud
Drinker of blood
RAISE THE DRAGON
IN THE FIRE
LIGHT THE PYRES
OF DESIRE
There's no god to be found
Among the graveyard mounds
Her hooves upon the storm
Hail The Babylon Whore
Murderous reign
Feed on the slain
Carrion come
As temples burn
Salting the earth
No more rebirth
God can't save you
So cruel but true
RAISING JESUS

SARCOPHAGY
We are the heart of destruction
Created for only one thing
We sacrifice our first born
Hell is here and we have arrived
A mandatory offering
Of the young and strong suicide
And we wave our flags for their doom
Just leave your old and feeble far behind
Bitter false icons hide behind their thrones
They line rivers of blood with charnel homes
We have become the essence of our crumbs
And the sarcophagy has just begun
I'M DEAD WRAP ME IN THE SHROUD OF MY GOD
NOTHING HERE BUT A BULLET TO THE HEAD

THE ABSENCE OF LIFE AND DEATH
Once upon a time will my remains rest in peace
Or will they rest in pieces before the starving beast?
I traveled alone to the depths of the Underworld
And witnessed the dying from sea to haunted shore
Black wolves howl
At my tomb
Empty but for
The heart I left behind
I'm between God and the devil
Without a trace of love or hate
I cannot take a single breath
Reaching for light in the darkness
Finding only Hell in Heaven
In the absence of life and death
I'm mortified in your chamber
Blackened by...

THE MACHINE SAGA
-PROLOGUE
From the cradle to the grave
Many visions scar my eyes
When right and wrong blur the lines
Reality slowly dies
Armies of the marching dead
Worship celluloid heroes
Pretend to be something else
Six feet down less than zero

I had to have you
Dark incantations and incense burn

WE FALL

DISMANTLE
The day has come
To fight or fall

Peace with our demons, so elusive
The Ares within ignites the skies
Nuclear fire will burn the night

NIGHTMARE: MACHINE
The rising gods of technological terrors
Echo across the land with violent tremors
With such empty words peace becomes a weapon
Those poisoning machines spitting their venom
The great facade
Is interactive
We have become
So abstractive
AT WAR WITH OURSELVES
Survival, the basest desire
The species must die for hope to thrive
This nightmare becomes the kiss of death
Under your heel I can't hold my breath
I want to live with no signs of rust
But the last of us drifts with the dust

THE SILENCE OF OUR REMAINS
This loveless cemetery
Where lonely spirits dwell
Is home for two such phantoms
Kept separated from reach
But still I know you are there
Your voice echoes raven song
And leaves tomorrow haunted
Cold as our house on the hill
We are haunting in your memories
Across endless nights of infinity
We crows together, so murderous
Beneath the storm clouds, so thunderous
Don't let the SILENCE
Define our REMAINS
WE SCREAM OUR SILENCE
Beneath the remains
In the middle of the night
The funeral bells...
Where lonely spirits dwell
Is home for two such phantoms
Kept separated from reach
But still I know you are there
Your voice echoes raven song
And leaves tomorrow haunted
Cold as our house on the hill
We are haunting in your memories
Across endless nights of infinity
We crows together, so murderous
Beneath the storm clouds, so thunderous
Don't let the SILENCE
Define our REMAINS
WE SCREAM OUR SILENCE
Beneath the remains
In the middle of the night

THE VOID OF HEAVEN
I remember the impending doom of dusk
As you gazed into my eyes one last time
And I embraced your shivering hands in mine
Shed a tear every night when that dream turns to dust
there's nothing in heaven
when you are still in my heart
no angels in heaven
i can't stand for us to part
NO
I wish I could say I tried to let you go
I would be lying to myself again
The past holds me captive so I can't begin
To heal in this chrysalis of deep shadows
NO

BURN IT TO DEATH
High on the fire running through my veins
Literal inferno beneath the skin
You pull me under to blacken these bones
Embrace the conflagration again
Cleanse me with your rage
Engulf me in flame
Obsidian eyes watch the embers light
The sky on fire and burn all the stars
Nothing can kill the flames but its own self
The smoke of her burning excites my scars
Give me all your hate
I feed on the pain
Cleanse me with your rage
Engulf me in flame
AND BURN IT TO DEATH

SIX FEET UNDER
Her book of shadows drowning in my spells
Scriptures woven with her own sense of Hell
Inked in mordant tears of fallen ravens
Awash in the flames of burning Heaven
and that’s where she keeps me
Six feet under where she holds my soul
Dig down deep to find a haunted wight
Six feet under where no one will know
Where the devil weeps for me tonight
She has a black hole beneath the remains
Adorned with poisoned thorns among the graves
The memories we made together
Lay on the altar bleeding and severed

THE MISTRESS OF THE NIGHT
as monsters we rise
for the mistress of the night
as monsters we rise
for the mistress of the night
The sun travels on a dead end path
To die in the dark to winter’s wrath
Lady Solstice hunts with the wolves
Stalking the forest on cloven hooves
Writhe with feral hunger amidst the driven snow
Her voice on the thunder screaming from deep below
mistress of the night
mistress of the night
Blood within the temple sacrificed to the grave
Where the vespers tremble with songs of the depraved

PARADISE IN PERDITION
And as your world falls apart
By the making of your own heart
Was there really no other way
To crawl into your cold grave?
Fucked up, you wonder the rain with no face
Nothing else left to do but place the blame
Misunderstood and shackled in the rain
No legacy to leave so leave a stain
I’ll be there as you burn your Eden
when PARADISE becomes PERDITION
I will leave a rose on your altar
the PARADIGM of POSSESSION
You’re as cold as a carcass
Tattooed and marked as a harlot
The addiction feeds misery
And...
