DEAD CONGREGATION LYRICS

1. Only Ashes Remain

Ripping my throat apart with my hands
Screaming in madness and gargling in blood
Breaking my fingernails peeling my skin off
A perfectly choerographed self hypnosis ritual

Reality fades as eyes become white
Chants are sung backwards and louder
Red velvet soaked in blood drowns the words that were written
Figures come forth from the wayes on the wall

A tongue of fire slithers down my head
Burning all that is conscious and real
And elightens me until ashes and faith remain

What I see shall be only ornaments for the Lord
What I speak shall be praise and truth of the Lord
What I build shall become tomb for the weak and the innocent
And they will vanish, never to sow their anemic seed again

2. Promulgation Of The Fall

Your Kingdom ultimately collapsed
Splendor decayed by your own decrepitude
Muttered lamentations, the hopelessness of hope
Imminent submission
The Fallen Angel is rising...

3. Serpentskin

Pieces of flesh cover this desert
Cursed place that hope never reached
Doglike demons sweep across the land
Where only thorns grow to shape Christ's crown
Rivers of blood nourish the jewels of the leper king

Ribald memorial shining like fires
Shadows whisper of the thing that was forever here
Menial creatures swarm towards this damnation
To be devoured by the beasts of light

Body parts spread all around this tower
Where only legends and memories live
Of lust for carnal resurrection

Sacrificed to feed the worms
And to keep the earth warm
Under this dead pile
The soil is alive
And skin is growing,
Taking our master's final form

4. Quintessence Maligned

Mark of suffocation
The depths antecedent ooze
Qlippotent omniscience
Quintessence maligned

Husks discarded lurk
Neath starless pools
Cracked molds, the broken shells
Of Excremental design

Disembodied abolition
In sands preceding time
Fossils of abortion
The slough of autochthon

Smashed fragments
Menace even in the acknowledgment
Of their exstence
Spiny thoughts to pierce

The very membranes they sustain
The delicate untruth
Quagmire of pre existence
Where no separateness lies

Husks discarded lurk
Neath starless pools
Cracked molds, the broken shells
Of Excremental design

5. Immaculate Poison

Shades were riding the winds
Towards me, to fill my lungs
Snakes unreel from my hair
As walls crawl closer

Image blurs, stirring cauldron
Suffocating black fumes
Immaculate poison
Descent to maddening silence
Entering this sleep
Dreamless deathlike sleep

Shades were riding the winds
Towards me, fill my lungs
Snakes unreel from my hair
As walls crawl..., crawl... closer

Never to return
Locked inside
Abyss Eternal

Tentacles rising
From the surface
of the subconscious

Immense cliffs of flesh
To satisfy his lust
Forever nailed alive
Nevermore fucking Christ.

6. Nigredo

Black waves drowning the horizon
Ocean swallows ocean -
Earth and spirit flushed away
As reason disintegrates

Black waves drowning the horizon
Hounds leap forth from the waters
Each of them tearing at the throat
While waves wash the body

Black waves drowning the horizon
Admire the beauty of fear
Love the star in the dog's eye
House of the soul falls to the waves

Black waves drowning the horizon
Overwhelming roar of elements
Wading waist-deep into fright
Plunging into infinity

Black waves drowning the horizon
A flickering light in the depths
Sea vomits body ashore
I ollowed by one who walks upright

7. Schisma

And from within the black lungs of desire
Your betray, as you always did, yourself
From within the lungs of desire
You betray yourself once more
And that which you worshipped as god.

Death never whispered your name
in the shadows
Not out of fear, Not because you won
but to punish and humiliate you
The one who didn't ever deserve to die
The absolute nothing...
Cursed to live, desiring to end.
Cursed to live, desiring to end.
Cursed to end...

On my knees I scream and beg you
To perpetuate the schism
With the world of fraud and pain

Forget all your children
You so deliberately deceiced
and lied to
As you walk away, the tears you cry
Will be our Holy Communion

Worthless Father

And we will laugh...
And spit at you...
As you leave,
Never consider looking nack at us.

The tears you cry
Will be our Holy Communion
And with it to celebrate your final...
...and TRUE DEATH.

Worthless Father

8. From A Wretched Womb

Blood and ashes
Riddle of clay
From the shoulder of Man
And the womb of the whore

Image of god reversed
Eyes look inside
Holding the book
Where all pages are void

Nothing is true
Chaotic maze
Forms are dissolved
Withered by Death

Deep in the black earth
Planting the seed,
With larvae and worms
To create the negative

Torch of truth
A burning bush
The only light
Archaic knot

Blood and ashes
Riddle of clay
From the shoulder of Man
And the worms of the whore

An answer with no question
An end without beginning
Eye of Satan
Lock and the key
