Icarus 07:27
Threads of dawn weave the heart and bind the soul to morning's flare I will kiss the sun in all of her splendor and she will scorch my lips Rending my soul asunder Falling through empyrean, feathers cascade from seared wings Salvation obscured, may shackles never unclasp A severed hand emerging from the depths Its fingers forming a crown and its palm a throne Bestowing the names of Adversary A third of every halo forsaken By the sweeping of serpentine tail Angels weeping o'er their punishment; abandonment Behold, Oh Lord, the descent like lightning Scratching cerulean sky So that the void may bleed through the cracks For this world has been given unto me upon my crashing And they will worship me as the Most High The lowly clay brought forth to flame A heaping of carnage to sing Your praise Their entangled limbs erect an altar Devoid of obeisance, devoted to violence They stare at the sky with blank expressions I am undismayed though my midst be ablaze For You will uphold me within Your left hand Do not delay, my Lord, to torment me A lamp for my feet and a light for my path My heart treads burning coals Reflecting my upmost admiration; You whom I serve through enmity Staring at the sky with blank expression as if to hope

Samael 04:38
Alas, has the Savior come to die? To bash my head with the weight of His heel I look into Your eyes, aligned with ailments of men Shall they bring You to stumble and fall? Calamity spews forth from inner vexation So serpents shall slither from Eve's putrid womb With lies we shall tempt her and bring her to fall And they will know sin like a scarlet mark And He will taketh pity on them Reaching with dead man's arms Reason with them, show them a road white as snow Where all is forgiven and shame is none And they shall become a bride for you, ready for my opposition For indignation stirs from within Upon a will reborn scorched eyes lift This chastening has sharpened my resolve And my resolve seethes with vehemence Because Thou has bound me in chains I will attack them from every side upon Thy straight path, from which they shall deviate Gnawing on their tongues, ripping out their hearts Here he comes, a roaring lion And here you are, a trembling lamb A petal of the rose, this bitter enmity A field of ashes and dust to surround There is no hope and there is no peace Not for me and soon not for them Atonement demands for the blood of innocence Holdfast, and I will break You Hammering nail through wrist Salvation drips from splinters Father's abandoning hangs Your head And Mother's caressing closes Your eyes The worms shall weave their veils to adorn Your shredded face Maggots shall drown Thy sockets Cloaking Thy back of scars Why did You not turn stones into bread? Why did You not leap from the edge?

Cain 06:23
Hear their fervent prayers whispered in veils And witness the rivers of tears I will enter beneath shadowed foliage into Eden On belly, through dust, approaching Your reflection Enticing their lips to drink from my offering drawn from a wellspring of knowledge Where I laid the foundations for the first and final revelations Let he who is without sin cast the first stone as he himself is cast from the cradle of existence Another son scorned in testament to His righteousness Cursed and banished as I, you are marked with abomination My open arms welcome you and close in to tighten around your neck Constricted by fear Shaken by wrath Kill your brother and tarnish the crops with his blood Wailing to Abba From this field of bones you shall erect Enoch Enlightened by the words of unknown fury Strangle compassion and tear her insides Relentless, she fanatically gasps, "please, please spare me!" In acts of domination are you satisfied? You will die in your own sins Gnashing of teeth You will weep The forbidden fruit and its purity begin to rot Amidst those truths I sowed Truth I sowed You who taste its succulence will succumb to tasteless desire And all your days become vain pursuits Vain pursuit

Bellum 05:20
Inevitable death We will take joy in dashing the infants against stone As flowers of joy bow down to wilt I have heard the war trumpet's cry with pounding heart and itching tongue Swords raised against the Lord Spewing blasphemy's vortex Given authority to bind them And given a blade to slay them Worship the beast you conquered nations And the dragon standing on the shore Opposition crushed by his teeth Who of you can stand against us? We will kill you, you sons of men Making icons of you, icons of vanitas We will kill you, angels of above Dragging you to abyss, mangling you Oh, blameless, Son of God Let us meet in the valley of death where I'll cast my crown upon Your feet to suffer defeat Yet I'll hang not my head, for there is reason to rejoice For as we stand the flames begin to lick the stars And it was agreed that few should be saved and many should perish in pain A clamor of clamoring to smother the gasping These restless days are like clouds on the sun Their hands stretch out to skim Thy healing garment Yet Your back is turned, so that I may devour them and spit out their bones for ravenous dogs to gnaw upon Breathing sulfur plagues, reaping slaves I render them dead before You Silent anticipation Endless lamentations flowing from my palms Laid to waste as disposable piece Consumed by plague, you pine away Upon their skin, the teeth of beasts And within their veins, the venom of serpents crawling through the dust He has delivered you a thousand times Yet a thousand times you return to me

Tartarus 08:25
A mirror to the titans of old who begat their own usurpers And so were seceded by their sons Seceding where I could not Helel's name is lost, masked by abysmal pitch Thus folds the wings of alluring beauty Thus smothers the flame that engulfed the world May Your scribe account the sins of my epoch And the millenia of illumination Look upon me one last time And clutch at Your chest as a third of creation descends Following me in severance from You Drunk off wormwood, filled with bitterness Here there is only desolation A dwelling place made in the dark Where fiery waves clash against the shore And the wind like knives lacerate the skin over and over again Lining my arms, lining my throat A suffering without relief of death Hence my prayers are none And even if they were, You wouldn't heed a word What light remains becomes a vignette As I collapse in the black hole of Tartarus May You bring them to writhe like worms May You bring them to curse You with moans May You utterly reject them And may they know damnation Just as I have known all of these things

Lamentations 09:26
Twisting wisdom for splendor As rivers shall thy tears flow Strength and joy cease to be and you groan, exasperated Isolated Laden with chains that cut the skin and grind the bone An embracing of ash, to kiss the dust and say, "this is my newfound rest" You wove fabrics of sin to ensnare me To hang by my neck as a yoke and to harden my spirit against You Besieged with hopelessness for there is no salvation for the angels We could never return home Flesh withers from all sight and every hidden bone protrudes Waste away like a garment devoured by moths A stairway built unto the sun Crumbling beneath her rays Shriveling beneath her light Lament this ending Cast below where utter despair resides A maze of tunnels without lights Eyes widened in terror for this is the fate set in stone before my first breath Crying in the abyss Wading in flame Know your death hath come Cling your palms and pray for dismay Let your troubled soul be still and want not As you bask in a shrouded sun, may My will be done Hold to your transgressions for they all are you have And tend to your open wounds for no other can Thou be damned
