To Pillage and Rape

Alone and maimed, they wait in vain
For the rescue of their lord
Whom though lone, too, in spite hitherto
Hath cast away as scorn
The flock of sheep, the virgin lamb
The forsaken and forlorn
Amassed a covenant of faith
In the vatican to worship the son of god
But greed prevailed as the seven sins
Engendered in the church
A proud and envious papal lust
That gorged upon the hateful herd
And though the crown were paralysed
To pulpit verses three
A shroud that graced and then fell
Spawned to haunt all hallow's eve
Was feared to discern sadness
Ostricised to behold the score
Now to the east, cast an eye
And know the wrath of thine lord
Soaked in their own blackness
The cowering throng doth hide
Behind the fortress watchtower
The bore witness to their lies
As illuminating talons, wrung
Snatch across the skies
Now yee give heed, these ears that bleed
To thunder-clapping spite
A looming gloom death knell shadow
Sweeps across cold earth
As blooming doom shows faith as shallow
Rife with curses and worse
That his serpent eyes betrayed their
Secret pleasures behind sparse walls
Ecumenical robes and a jackal's mask
And the holy purple sheol
Were cast aside as cards were dealt
That melted like the Queen of scars
In the minds of terrified altar boys
Bent over when jehova left his mark
The lowly father pants breathless
Spies a pearl drop drip down priapic chin
The sentiments of which resound now
Embodied as a metaphor in these vengeful winds
Alas such casualties rained upon the throne
In awe of wondrous tragedies that reigned over Rome
I might, in strategy, conduct once more
Discordant melodies from a blood-penned score
'Twas the turning point whereafter
My kin aroused a deeper faith
Wherein a promised land
Espoused a sicker coiled wraith
Whom rent an awed diocese
By pillaging their estates
And the women and children, plundered
Bore the sting of confessional rape
A chorus of hymnal psalms
Rehearsing in her head
Solaced her enduring wedlock
To the ritually conclusive 'amen'
In throes of vengeful diatribes
I spit curses at thee
A proud, audacious infidel
Burned to scorn for heresy
Now seared to burnt black madness
Sacrificed to uphold the law
A dying martyr's screams
Resound throughout this scrying lore

Carrion on the Ley
03:40

Maidens at court I would have thought
Seeks suitors of sorts
Not that tradition displeased me
Tainted with awe, I would abhor
Vanessa to the fore
So she should often appease me
Arouse the deepest darkness
Obsidian hunger harkens
Deflowered through the vastness
Inside her seeping garden
Though wert so innocent
It frightened me
Drown in her eyes, I might espy
Diamond tears she cried
Not that those sentiments pleased me
Crowned Queen of night, I might descry
Desire rear in wine
So she would often seize me
Espouse the secret past tense
As hideous wonders mask it
Deflowered in the casket
Entice her meek catharsis
Though were the quintessence
Of serenity
A quiscient clandestine
Were worlds of hers
So marred by mine
Caught by spells that beguiled
Her beauty shined on her mesmorised
I sought to make her my bride
But she was betrothed
To one loathed dog above
I might have known the divine
Betrayal to chance to me
As prone to such tales
Wherein treason prevails
Left in the dark, my broken heart
Manifest its parts
A rift of symmetry and balance
Embittered past the shards of glass
And of her witchcraft
A solemn retrospective malice
Imbibe the westward whisper
A shallow portent, withered
To vague to reason, whither
Too soon ahead
A sickened plot to wreak my vengeance
Destined to last outspoken stars
Banished to scars
'Twixt the misery and sadness
Explicit marks were half as charred
And oft would discharge
A sodden sentimental madness
Inscribe the tethered scripture
All hallow's eve deliver
A plagued season draws hither
Bring out your dead!
A wicked lot to stretch my sentiments
A field of dreams covered in locusts
So seemed unclean and thus were deemed atrocious
The moon she gleams
Her boon of dreams at my dismay
In truth she gleans my swoon
That teems the haunting disarray
When thunders cracked
'Midst storm clouds, black
As clarion numbers play
And hundreds racked like Rome ransacked
As carrion on the ley

Vestibulum (Rerecorded)
03:11
|

Cast aside and run away
Insidious lament on
And lead astray
Small sapling tread
About to pray
To yearn for death
Aside from these carrion prey
Inside the sanctum murky cave
Upon the precipice of grave
To pant for breath
Stalk thee my prey
Await thee to stray
With slick precision
And attack with lightining pace
Thou canst not run
Thou canst not flee
Hopeless you lie in wait
The inevitable release
And heightened pleasures abound
Subservient misery and dying shroud
Her face caries abject shame
Legs torn asunder and dripping
From her fucked bowels that gave way
Proud so as not to cry
Violated nonetheless
Reflected in her eyes
Her haunting dreams I despise
So choked, kicking mercy
To kill her by and by
