OPHIS LYRICS

1. Carne Noir

burn to my touch
at my feet incinerate
scorch both flesh and spirit
weep and falter

upon the litis step
towards my burrow
destigial
blitheness
spawning mournful dreams
wiping the light from the sky
immerse with my sickness

the suffering i radiate
a beacon at the shores of hell
attached to decline
lapse into decay
into the dismal circle

2. Engulfed In White Noise

Pernicious world perception
Cognition of symbols oblivious
Fragments reassembled
To a picture beyond this world

The curse of carination
Slow detachment

The cord of apprehension
Textures ever shifting
Affliction, obsession of silence
Reflection dolorous

Her meaning of meaning
Estrangement from being
A new found logic
Abides a realm beyond

Constrained oblivion
A world without mirrors

Her meaning of meaning
Abducted from seeing

The hours sink to the ground
And she is counting the bricks

I still remember
Cold January morning
The world beneath a sheet of snow
You would not stop screaming

And thus you rejoice
This river you just could not transcend

Drawn towards the water
Pulled beneath the waves
Whispering from the depth
A beckoning from the edge of the world

And our songs
Forever shrouded in mist
Yet just for a blink
I felt your presence here

The hours sink to the ground
And the hours sink to the ground

3. Dysmelian

Toxic sermon
Erratic and contagious
Abscessic thoughts
Raging through the aether

Seraphic beauty obsolete
A relic dream, pathetic and distant

Hear them screaming for a new sovereign
An idol to their likeness

He shall come to bring salvation
An icon for the crippled race
A mirror to reflect their souls
Disfigured God for distorted people

Phocomelic
Despair
Syndactylic immersion of flesh
Scoliotic rotten lord

I beg thee
To come forth
From the womb
Putrid pile, anal birth

Hear them screaming for a new sovereign
Dysmelian now walks the earth

4. The Vermin Age

Opaque clouds ensnare me
Glaring stars shrouded

Black breath whirling
Feet sunken in sludge
Soul leashed to a stick

Embalmed in dejection
Preserved tribulation
Chrysalis surge
From the maggot hatchery

Beneath this hollow face
Lie the answers to all questions
But they are never asked
And of no relevance

Embalmed in dejection
For aeons to come
Painted in piss
Glorious depiction of the vermin age

And bound to death
Be this entire breed
Spawned by the maggot queen
That lies entombed in this world

Ancient soulless majesty
Insatiable, gnawing, devouring all light
Lux fiat!
Her avarice everlasting

5. Ephemeral

Ephemeral
We must fade
Ephemeral
Withered shades

Silent
Falling leaves
Longing for
Breath to cease

Life in itself
Deteriorated
Open those veins
To purge this maze
To end this haste
Distant and cold
Gathering clouds
As autumn unfolds

We are as water
And life as a slope
Death lingers on
Through nights to come

Ephemeral
Nothing remains
Ephemeral
Even the pain

6. Shrine Of Humiliation

Gleam onto me
Pass thy disdain
Onto my misery

Release me
From the mirror
My fiercest
Enemy

Lambaste me
For I can see
I am chosen
Chosen

Look at me
Look at my pity
Is this no relief?
The riddance of dignity

What is hollow cannot sink
What is shapeless cannot break

Bequeath me
The blessing of shallowness
My existence devoted
As reflection of your emptiness
