Blood Ruminations
Axioma
Harvest time has come/ join and wake the lifeless/ veins retract in wait/ regenerate, replenish/ severed like bone through flesh/ the silence overwhelms/ embraced by misconception/ reflection grows besetting/ a hunger yet resolved/ perverse in its vision/ such a sinister beauty/ such a bountiful host/ such methods most unsound/ eternal stains of lives once lived/ intrinsic desire/ countless visions of splattered days/ blood ruminations
6:44
Contortions of Passage
Axioma
Born of disease/ contortion of death/ sent to consume/ of unholy flesh/ extract the heart/ cull the wandering flock/ pain in the form of a god/ beg and steal/ we hunt you just the same/ gnaw off the leg/ to refresh the host/ contortion of passage/ cut from the cloth/ two convulsing gods/ sever from within/ grotesque infections/ immune of the cure/ devourment of our own kind/ embrace the scour
6:56
Septic
Axioma
Earthen contagion/ septic subsistence/ follow the host/ transmit despair/ silent regarded/ send the blaze/ agents of frailty/ control the carrion/ species of dirt/ rapacious hunger/ surgical precision/ stay the course/ coursing through the vein/ construct upon veiled pretense/ engulf with sorrow/ final breaths now silence
3:06
God Extraction
Axioma
Handed down from the ancients/ remove the stone of madness/ surgical intervention/ circular incision/ bore into the bone/ confinement/ cast out/ perforate the physical mind/ vast celestial gateway/ enhanced cognition/ bloodletting of the inner eye/ ensue with the witch hunt/ experimental, ritualized/ perception distorted/ empowered everlast/ enlightenment
4:52
The Tower
Axioma
The distant woodland gathered in darkness/ eternal light/ emblaze the night sky/ upon the earthly garden/ savor unearthly delights/ ignite the fallen/ engulf the spire/ the tower/ a vail of thorn blinds the eyes/ cover of night obscures the flesh/ bastard gods are brought to the slaughter/ our fire consumes what life cannot/ when the lion devours the bull/ the summoning of the powers/ cut the artery/ let it flow/ extol the tower furnace
7:30
Emptiness of Anguish
Axioma
Beset with torment/ desolate divide/ cavernous weight of rue/ recall with bloodstained eyes/ deprived of solace/ infest the will/ a soul turned inside out/ skinless faces scream/ bloodless veins deprived/ air too thick to breathe/ surrender/ abandon/ destitute/ hopelessness/ blindly stripped of fervor/ relentless shadows dwell/ hysterical conversion/ hopelessness prevails
5:35
A New Dark Age
Axioma
Prophets, liars, champions of nothing/ this presence transpired to generate/ famine, plague, eternal war/ a new dark age/ flesh of the saints bones of the sinners/ cast upon the soil/ guide us to the real light then incinerate from inside out/ cut of the head and hands of the saviors/ rip out the eyes of all that see/ bodies sewn from iniquitous/ this chasm of void/ our paths to enlightenment/ join us as we burn together
