EREBUS

 
Depraved machinations
Obliviscence of mortality
Illusory will inebriates
It is the gift of ignorance


There is no privacy from ubiquity
My eyes that watch from the shadows


All matter is within my grasp
In all places light cannot disturb
That irrational fear you cannot escape
Journaled in the history of your race


And in comfort, all arms embrace
That which sustains
Their blind race


I will come, with insatiable hunger
To mock skepsis without contrite
For there will be no end in sight


Acropolis to dust
Portent delivered
Advent of my domain in ascent
To tower over the inverecund


The time has come
To reclaim what clear skies forbade me
Blacken the star that burns all in its wake
The land above is mine to take


Devouring miasma
Rusts the flesh of rotten bones
An infinite necrosis
From just below the surface


The spectres rise from your phobias
The serpent extends from my words
To claim ears above
May even Death hear my thunder


Choking atmosphere
A slow noose, life askew
In throes of a bluish hue


On the fringe of weakness
I see the anguish written
Upon the walls of your irides


May truth disrobed bare all to you
And shatter those vitreous orbs


Above bleeding esoteric lines
My name remains solidified
I've always been, and cannot die
The crawling dark beneath the sky


Like a tumour
Festering in the embryo of dawn
To lay stigma upon the sanctified
This crimson rain, a drowning song


Legion ascends from the abyss
Souls deflagrate in nocturnal wind
Edaphic forms writhe in sanguine lakes
And suffering pantomorphic slakes


Onset of tabefaction
Where vinewed hopes remain
Illaqueated by resurgent lust
To die
