At the gates of midian
Cthulhu dawn
Saffron's curse
Death magick for adepts
Lord abortion
Amor e morte
Creatures that kissed in cold mirrors
Her ghost in the fog
Satanic mantra
Tearing the veil from grace
Tortured soul asylum
At the gates of midian

Cthulhu dawn
Cthulu dawn

Spatter the stars
Douse their luminosity
With our amniotic retch
Promulgating the birth
Of another hell on earth
Shadows gather poisoned henna for the flesh
A necrotic catle brand
The hissing downfall pentagram
Carven deep upon the church doors of the damned
But no passover is planned
A great renewal growles at hand
And only they're running
Will they come to understand...

So end the pitiful reign of man

When the moon exhales
Behind a veil
Of widowhood and clouds
On a biblical scale
We raise the stakes
To silhouette the impaled
Crowds...

Within this kissed disembowel arena
A broken seal on a ancient curse
Unleashes beasts from the seismic breach
With lightning reach and genocidal thirst
Mountains of archaos theories
In collision as planetary dawn
Apocalypse's razorbaks
Beat wings on glass as thunder cracks
Unfurled across a world hurled to the black

Cthulu dawn

Shatter the glass house
Wherin spirits breathe out
Halitosis of the souls
From  a recking abcess
Plague of far righteousness
All fates hang in the balance
Mocking crucified dolls
An inquisition ours
When the Sun goes out our powers
Will extend Throughout Heaven like Asphodel
As they have for countless lustrum
In dark Midian accustomed
To burning effigies of our ennemies well

So begin the sibilant world Death-knell...

When a corps wind howls
And awake from drowes
The scheming dead freed
Of gossamer shrouds
We gorgonise eyes
Of the storm aroused
Red...

Blinding time
All lines dine on this instance
A melting spool of beggar, negative frames
The skies teem alive, to watch die
Mankind hauled to fable in vast tenement graves...

Cthulu dawn

Saffron's curse
Through arcades where shimmmering snowfall
Lay in the state with the sad and damned
A rent lamnent barely flunged above a whisper
Drew me like a ghost to the haunts of Man

I found her tempting fate between her wrist and razor
A kindred spirit in graveyard
Beneath a statue of a colder saviour
Mist hung like thieves wreathed in scant arabesque
And through the chill earth in bedewed her drawling breast

Like a dream come true under etched glass spent
Making love to the beautiful dead

She had sinned and severed heaven
And in its vulgar sight
Two figures writhe, but one silhouette
Extends it's fingers to the light

"Gothic towers tottered on her heels
As she feld asylum grounds
Commiting hard crimes to soft cells
Where now another's screams resound"

From the gasping in her passing
Six feet under or beneath frayed gown
When her hands pointed to midnight
In a white stained chamber bound

I swept her from rhe abyss of another dementia
Freeing her soul from the fetters of fate
To takes the reins of pleasure
Now nightwane mirrors freeze in siezure
At the glimpse of charmed pins in her thights
Ballrooms filled with black cats scratch
Out of spite and playful eyes

Pricked as a witch her stiches itche
For familiar lips to lick them dry
Whilst the dry regraps for if she asks
The sun forsakes the rite to rise
And is the first to discern, that this angel's return
Is a vengeful call on grace
For even martyrdom backs from it's suicide pacts
A leap of twisted fate betrayed ...

The scars will last until the stars
Caught in her train bewitched
Fall into line and yield the sign
That dawn is born is to their eclipse

For our inhumankind
Comes an underdog-day sunshine
Rippling with fire femalediction

I splintered her coffin and lay on the floor
Of a vault with her clapsed as the moon hugs the shore
What treachery this that she breathed no more ?
Christ you bastard !

I wished her back but the dead adored her
Even wild winds sang in chora for her
Saffron from my heart, from the start I swore
We'd be together more...

Creation froze with the triumph of death
But still she sttired and awoke bereft
Of concern save for the acons left
To lead the darkness...

She schemes of growing and the lenghts sucked hard to get it
I dream being God but ever living to regret it
Our fecond nature decrees that Jesus wept come for
The devi lon her knees

To grant her lows remedy
And mine desire's wish
To taste thereof of Heaven's scent
As sick and twisted as it is
For her corset laced with arsenic
Hide snakes curves within her midst
Whilst her halo of white lies sipplies
Her temple to what God forbids.

Death magick for adepts
Come distorured artists
Bitter things seek meaning
Even if they're madness to behold
One forbears to horizons
Where the deads stayed dreaming
Now nightmares wakens souls
That fear the living's toll

Goya, Bosch and Brughel
Three times moonwise stain thy graves
For words alone are at loss to trace
The face of todays inhuman wraith

One half adrift in the vast abyss
Of dispair and misery
The other a mask of rich red lips
Whetted by the fievers of belief and greed

All damned in this inferno
Where even Virgil averts his eyes
From the black mass mutual gang rape
Of caesing hands and forced divides

Trespass these seven getes
To a world bloodlet to shades
Where Seraphim
(Falling on death ears) bleat
Oftheir cold and coming Master's race
In the sewers of Babylon
Stillborn to a trough anon
Chimiracles will hatch like plots
Todrege faeces to pearl their cross

Enter Penteholocaust
Five Aeons past, yet still man grasps
At final straws to save his cast

His lord is a leper we shall not want

He betrayed us with white lies
His acrid pall as of the tomb
Reminds us how we rot inside

Gutted like fool's paradise
Glutted on cruel appetites...

Holding courts to chaos
Folding to far graver arms
A downfall fatal to all resounds
As orgies peak in self-centerd psalms

And nature screams her sufferings
Under bowed and cankered wings
A bleak scorched Earth necrotia burning
Like the robes we've torn from her

She begs us lay her pain to rest
Lest we are live nothigness
Save for her stripped and ravished flesh

And if her fate is not a portant of Apocalypse
Then the comets that graze that night
Will surely cleans of wrongs and reichs
When you and I and all else dies...

It's rotting dawn
This carcass Maggotropolis

Independant as worms to hte grave
Allah's true name is naught
Christ cannot save
Locked in a waltz of evermore frantic steps
Spells of regret...
Death Magick for Adepts

Be prepared to fulfill prophecies
The glorious fall of a sin dynasty

Guttered like fool's paradise
Glutted on cruel appetites...

"We've woven hearts a thorn harbour
Left tears-streaked reason upon the shore
And bereft of compass, star or more
Set out for this world's end
Few at the prew, most slave below
Painting coal a perfect gold
But for all it's worth, the engines slow
Dead in their brine again
Come cabin fever, sodomy on the bounty
Prey to phallus seas
That hiss and foam to douse disease
A strom roars on the way
Blacker than th ace of Rapes
Dealt out by Death in darkwood glades
Our ship of fools, all boards handmade
Sinks, dashed by seismic waves ..."

Lord abortion
I was born with a birthmark of cinders
Debris cast from the stars and Mother
A ring of bright slaughter, I stap in the waters
Of life  that ran slick from the stabwounds in Her

Dumb Me Lord Abortion
The bonesaw on the backseat
On this bitter night of giving head
A shapr rear entry, an exit in red
Lump in the throat, on my come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

I grew up on the slut bastard Father beat blue
Keepsake cunts cut full out easing puberty through

Aah! nostalgia grows
Now times nine or ten
Within this vice den called a soul
Dying for resurrection
I dig deep to come again
The spasm of argasm on a rol...

I live the slow serrated rape
The bucks fizz of amyl nitrate
Victims force fed their own face
Tear stains upon the drape

I should compare then
To a warm Summer day
But ot the letter, it is better
To lichen their names to a grave

Counting My years on an abacus strung
With labial ring and heartstrings undone

Dub me, Lord Abortion, the living dead
The bonesaw on the backsteat
On this bitter night of giving head
A sharp rear entry, an exit in red
Lamp in the throat, on my come choke
The killing joke worn thin with breath

Horrorscpoes My diorama
A twelve part (so far) psychodrama
Another chained I mean to harm her
Inside as well as out
A pervets gasp inside the mask
I'm hard, blow My house of cards
All turn up death, Her bleeding starts
In brute vermillion parts...

Now I slither through the hairline cracks
In sanity, best watch your back

Possessed with levering Hell's gates wide
Liberating knives to cut Humanity slack

My ambition is to slay anon
A sinner in the hands of a dirty God
Who lets Me prey, a Gilles De Rais
Of light where faith leads truth astray

I slit guts and free the moistest faces
Corrupt the corpse and sieze the choicest pieces
Her alabaster limbs that dim the lit carnal grin
Vaginal skin to later taste and masturbate within

"My heart was a wardum beat
By jugular cults in eerie jungle vault
When number thirteen fell in My lap
Lips and skin like a sin, a Venus Mantrap
My appetite whetted, stron crows wheeled
At the blurded edges of reason 'til I was fulfilled
Hors d'oeuvres eaten, I tucked Her into
A grve coffin-fit for the Queen Of Spades
She went out like the light in My mind
Her face an avalanche of pearl, of ruby wine...
Much was a flux, but he mouth once good for fucks
Came from retirement to prove She had not lost Her touch
I kissed Her viciously, malicously, religiously
But when has ONE been able TO best separates the THREE ?
I know I'm sickas Dahmer di, but this is what I do
Aah, aah, aah I'll let you sleep when I'm through..."

The suspect shadow where they least
Expect My burning grasp to reach

The stranglehold, the open arms
Seeking sweet meat with no hole barred

Rainbows that My razors wrung
Midst Her screams and seams undone
Sung at the tp of puctured lungs
I bite My spiteful tongue
Lest curses spat from primal lairs
Freeze romance where angels, bare
Are lost to love, bloodloss, despair
I weep, the merely stare.......
And stare and stare and stare and stare.

Amor e morte
Her bouquets are wilted
Too long has She slept
Theircruel red mouth darkened
To bowed silhouettes
I saw in a new moon
With Her scent on my breath
But then all too soon
Cameto hunger for flesh

I held Her in eyes like necropoli
Laying Her on a tomb with a view
Lighting Her from Her feet
To the stars in Her hair
Drove sweat blood to Her throat
And My lips parted there

(In the tone of splintered bone)
She screams benighted
My limbs ignite
A carnal carnivore
On all four to go...

An ebon Nemesis
From torture gardens of Dis
Having never breathed an Eve
As far narcotic as this
Two spellbound hellbounds
Hearts pounding loud
Racing Heaven out of focus
Under quicksilver clouds

"God is maimed come let us pray..."
To lunar deities that pave deadways
Twixt the living and the grave
Amor E Morte
To cast our feral shadows there
We made Love bleed on a Deathbed shared
Where, begging Me to feed
To best be Were...

I licked Her wounds and Her rare

Argentinum spurred
Her wanton words incurred
A sin-ridden tongur
To open trading in fur
Never was thos gates of pearl
So rubbed to their cusp
Never were the Worlds above
So bitten with the bestial....

Seraphim fell like guillotines
Giving gracious head

Instead of harking prophecies
An how our brothers sung
Amor E Morte
In the thick evergreens
Theirs was a chorus for raucous souls
Shifting shapes and lifting napes
To commemorate
Erotic stains
Amor E Morte

Unfasten thy mask
Come skyclad to my arms
Leave thy gown a dark pool at thy feet
I yeran musky valleys that no Man hath seen
the chill keen of stars
Over Yew and deep woooded ravines
A hidden meridian
Where Midian may be ...

In black antlered glades
Encunted inthi sforest Goddess
She whispers My name
I buck under flames
Animal nitrates
Howling through my veins

I ride riptides that wrest and writhe to the fore
New lusts eclipsing lips
That brought me to this verge of War
With inner beasts unleashed
To feast, fuck and run
Rampart in case of the She-wolf pacts
Forged on heat with setting Suns

I love the night
it would murder my soul
Should I ever fall blind
For though thy flesh haunts
I keep also in mind
The stampede of clouds
from dusk predatory sky

Purple-versed like the funeral hearse
That first turn thee over to My...
Unbridled kiss when I found thee in mist
Dressed for the sepulchre
My Demon bride...

"God is maimed come let Us prey..."
To lunar Deities that pave deadways
Twixt the living and the grave
Amor E Morte
Ours was a chorus for raucous souls
Shifting shape and lifting nape
to commemorate
Erotic stains

Amor E Morte

Creatures that kissed in cold mirrors
[Instrumental]

Her ghost in the fog
"The moon, she hangs like a cruel potrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But oh, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainly
as We shall see ..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
a Queen of snow...
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Darkliqoured eyes
An arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who coldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful eve when ...
the tres strank of sunset and camphor
their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to fly
Or to dath as their way
They crept through woods mesmerised
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they suveyed
save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped nad left ...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dressed torned, Her raven hair
Flown to gown her beauty bared
Was stared with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed;
"Come back to me
I was born in love with thee
So why shoud fate stood inbetween?"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell-tower key ...
The village mourned Her by the by
For She'd benn a witch
their Men had longed to try
A I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured souls on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips atuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
an arabian nightare...

She was Erzulie possessed
Of a milky-white skinn
My porcelaine Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank ofsunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their chapel ablaze and all locked into a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their B=bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept from cries
Mesmerised
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise

A final blessing to hide 
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog

Satanic mantra
"Archangel, Dark Angel
Lend me thy light
Through Death's veil
'Til we have Heaven in sight!"
				
top

Tearing the veil from grace
Biblical coirs soar beyond veiled light
A swansong for ravens trapped flapping in night

A tragic yetmagickal fall from grace
Too awful to taste for theled and the chaste
Those who long fetters are addressed to all saints


Free shining souls torn from God's given Reich
Defiled, reviled, exiled from sight

And Hell knows we sought in victory
Chancing the leash
But when bad die were cast
We were cast down to die
A steeple ofneedles thrust into our eyes
So scholars might say we were blinded by pride
Like the sin of Our father (and the whims of our kind)
Whom in Isaiam an Midian thrived
Regaining His sights for the storming of skies...

And after descenturies have crawled, vilified
Our dark harkened day on spread wings now arrives

For eternity is a coprofagic
Backward figurehead
Gorging on Her bitter end
And We have eaten shit
Until we're close to addict

Now grime is running out
For us to make amends

To retake what once was lost
To exalt our thrown above the stars of God

"To throw our fuck into gates and guts
Of a severed neverland
Where we, the damned
Once pleasure ran
Like seamen from a phallus sea"

Attrocious oceans must be crossed
To exalt above the stars of God

The thirteenth sign of the zodiac climbs
Cowled and scythed to snuf the sunrise...

Throwing shades of war before like prophecy
Nightbreed freed from the vasty deep
...Nasty reap of freaks forsaken
And when sultry Dusk disrobes they'll learn
She is not a natural blonde
For the lower She goes the darker it grows
An Eve that blows on Her knees for Satan

Fellated Satan
Screams congeal in clotted pearl
As He unfurls from aching hibernation

Stormbringer drums thunder to full Dis orchestra
As lightning streaks with fire
Black clouds that shrouds the Earth
Whose cold breasts have held us in scar pillories
But now the Sun is loathe to come
The crescent moon is freed...

Elated Satan
The scimitar slash to the undergash
Of a heaven too slight for penetration

We strikes as wolves from the thickening fog
To exalt our throne above the stars of God

Lowly holy goats bare the burnt
Or rabib dogmas on a stellar bearhunt
Bastioned in citadels and monastic cells
That smell of blessed cunt
Like a coven where crosses rust
From thirty dirty habits of shaved man
There were deeeper needs are begged of lust
And cess and less impress enough

Obtaining the word of Our gardian, Anger
And Death tunnel vision
Bad thing in collision
The locking of eyes and jagged antler

Unpicking the seams of fate fate sewn over dreams
Feasting from throats of celestial thieves

And God knows We seek victory
Now that we are unleashed
To drive nails home of blind faith through those
Who drove us from error to terror below
Refugees clung to a crown furred in flies
Tarred with red honey, the plaster
Of many a spire tat aspired to rise
Seeking Messiahs that by us soon die...

In the start like a cast
In morality plays
Our hearts wore a mask
Of dead rooks in the rain
The World was our cloister
No prayer, bent in shame
Our once lucent plumage
Stung with horn withered grey...
And away...
As Aeons slew so we grew to myth
Revenge accrued to a monolith
Bursting through from our roofed abyss
Like an aether-greathed fist
Now vulvite gates are so sorely missed
Our horror pours through the orifice
Where once the spheres and archangels kissed
Phalejullah !

Fellated Satan
His coming assails
The Night in Gales
That bewail turned tides
That engulf their nation

Now divinity is a worm ridden mouth
In a darken high house
Overrub by desease
So let the truth be wrung
From vein and sanctum undone
That the bannished Ones intent
On reinstatement have won

We breathe by virtue of their rot
Now our souls exult above the stars of God
				
top

Tortured soul asylum
Under full moons waxing lyrically
Death's poetry floods the soul
Like the freezing seed of a demon freed
To curse the stars with vertigo
And in their dance, in trance I've prised wide
Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs
Hymeneal gates to darker sides
A glimpse of plinths where Midian lies

Midian...

Haunted by tis portent
This obsession in my mind
With a city sunk below
Tall cedar groves and graves sublime
Sporting their importance
Marble wings Spread to theshies
A veil of dreams that it would seem
The daylights race to leave behind

These visions struck like a furious fuck
Nailing wet lips to cold cemetary walls
Flashes of lust and dust
Splashed across my psychic pall
as hybrid reach there cusp
With final thrust I saw it all

Forbidden Midian
A long fabled Judecca
A sanctuary for sin...
To rival Heaven
Free of heaven tragic wreck
(Through the only Angels in repose
Were those with ivy strangled necks)
Small mercies of vistas of dolmen and vault
Gaunt, haunched edifices
Midst lightfingered mist
From whence more awful shadows
Drew back rusted bolts
And dared the threshold
The searing Sun had knelt to kiss

Shades of dusk, cruelty and myth
The Tribes of Christ
And shall not suffer their kind to live

For I, mesmerised, syaryed not from tombs
Or their waltz so sibilant
Through the gathering gloom
But from flames of the moon in bloom
Baring each a face effaced
And raped in the womb

In hidden Midian
A Vatican lying in state
Fr the sanctity of sin...
To rival Heaven
Above Eden's birth defects
Though the only Angels that arose
Were those who felt to most requests
Small mercies in vistas where dolmen and vault
Caught twisted whispers where fisted sisters
Haunched, flaunted orifice
Midst lighter-fingerd mists
WhilstI watched without revolt
Carnalities few beasts permit

Between the dog and wolf
Bared fangs met met in intercourse
A nightly rite of teeth and cunt
For those below who rose the hunt

Sore sights that preyed on Me for days
And in laudanum's haze
I painted them all...

The slew of sith and kin
I drew in blood, my veins in thrall
To deathugees at peace within
(An underworld free of Mortal rule)

Grotesques and wolves in women's skin
The raven-winged and missing limbed
Suicides and split-thighed Seraphim

And marble stairs
Stargzer daze
Asced like prayer
(As smoke or ghost or lithe nightmare)

Under fullmoons waxing lyrically
Death's poetry floods the soul
Like the reeking weed of a demon freed
To curse the stars with vertigo
And in their dance, in trance I prise wide
Slick rifts twixt obsidian thighs
Hymenical gates to other sides
A labyrinth wherin Midian hides

Midian...

I know I've seen
Through the blackbacked mirrors in sanity
Lucent prides amassed in last retreat
Prurient souls but no more freaks
Than thos leashing dreams at harm's length for Me
And just like grim ascension prophecies
My revenge, carved deep, will be
A grisly plot that reads
Like My filthy white ward spattered with their screams
When My Deliverers come from fog for Me...

Exhuming the moon
Through the bars in My room
The sooner the bitter pills swallowed are through...
But genotypes, Aphrodites
Daemonarchetypes
No cenobites rise to claim Me for you

No ! No ! No!
Don't leave here in this strom-weathered cell
No ! No ! No!
With prophets and losses
And dead men from crosses
My fate is a preview of derelcy Hell
