By Tooth In Tongue
Withered
Plucked from the abyss my bliss
New blood new tongue sacrifice
Pluck feather eyes turn to the deep dream
Gaze up wonder crave denied my tongue
Erode my scars
Reveal fresh wounds
Rejected by the abyss
Go on breath sigh
Go on grieve writhe
Troughs of rot thrive
Tongue swells
Engorged truths
Return to mouth
Pluck voice from child
Lip sewn sins pool tongue drowns
Pluck my tongue of tongues
Release bound axioms
Expel wretch
Send tooth through tongue
Cold sting
Release unleash
Glory of truth floods
Rot returns to mouth
Infected mouth
Truth runs
Truth spills
Spits! Spills!
Plucked eyes gaze
By tooth in tongue
8:22
The Predation
Withered
Pray for end of sin show
Of malice end all
Strip thy womb, we force extraction
Bleed thy life, unhinged delirium
Fault thy curse, your derelict soul
Bind thy curse, we bleed, forever...
Shattered skull file
Beneath stone crosses
Sewn predation
Towering inferno
Shattering scriptures, force fed reptilian
Burning works of doctrine, memories erased
Defiled, reviled, dreaded...hearsay
Circumvent, the bleakest atonement
Witching ill call
Lynching the masses
Softest illusion
Heed the whisper
Willful witches
Staging defiance
Sewn predation
Torn
Stars, moon, earth
My judgment
End, take all
My penance
Ode to stars, moon earth
Faith repelled by dissent
Devouring all, defied unto themselves
Something elegant dear is lost is lost
A way of life once our own our own
To us all. To us none to use non. To the few, where fear awaits, dwells deep, far within
Take my face of interest
Reap the sorrow, breed tomorrow
Swallowing darkness of mankind
Your loss
Your crown
Reap the sorrow, breed tomorrow
Swallowing darkness of mankind
Your loss
Your crown
Reap the sorrow, breed tomorrow
Swallowing your darkness
Loss
Cross
6:55
Dissolve
Withered
Obscured by time, a birth untold
Wasted years dissolve, your conscious mind
Conquest for truth, faith unfounded
Bask int eh holy light, of emptiness
Raise, raze
Cheer, sneer
Raise the glass / raze dissolve, cheer blank stares of praise / Sneer fake stares of praise
Fallacy / Prophecy, recall years un-re-solved / dismiss years un-re-solved
4:33
Casting in Wait
Withered
Swallow sterile truth we find in ruins
Never, never leave behind a meaning
React, obsidian grave in mind it crumbles
Create, create chaos without a reason
Cog dragged thru the vine
Splintering sun folds thru the eye
It heals
Heals the void
Heals the worm
Worms
Skin repels in time
Needle drags, crippling light
Consume me blind
Swallow sterile truth we find in ruins
Never, never leave behind a meaning
Sacrifice my mind
Chaos dragged through the vine
It peels cosmic folds, right through my eyes
Swallowed tongue, in truths we found
Through our void
Feel the hull of skin
Fear, words gone wrong
Mold into nothing
Feel the loss
Now you're on your own
Suns divide
Worms can't die...
Bitter, life
5:29
Passing Through…
Withered

…The Long Hurt
Withered
Forfeited scion
Weak seer does fail
Roots' throe of abandon
Yields bloom, a hallowed heart
Rip roots from tarnished ground
Bastard shadows nip my heels
My burden bloom tethered to me
Begotten bond succumbs
Succumbs to disregard
Come sever from me, this hollowed heart
I've severed from me, this hollowed hurt
Long hurt followed
Wrong heart hollowed

From Ashen Shores
Withered
Corporeal bliss, full of rot
Beyond contention
Cthonian reaper avows
Our begotten, cruel abyss
Humus mind calls!
Self-divine halt!
Thionic gaze dwells!
Gemini realm!
ψεῖ
Lies there before me...
Tangled roots, abstraction
Abstruse ambition
Seductive sorrow
Onyx tide evades!
Cthonian confess
Beyond eternity
From ashen shores
Plunge through the shallows
Cast through sieve drift
Aether furrows
Ψαινύθιος
διαρρυμβονάω
Ψάμαθος
ὲπιπόθ-ημα
Τάρταρος
Ψέφος
άρχαιόομαι
ἂπειρον
Blindness
Soldier
Of discontent
Callous
Impenitent
Fortune
Breath in the flood and obey
Scourge and arise
Ajna scry the chthonian
Divine waves of the aether
Behold eternity
Bask in the glory
Witness prophetic
With conscious mind
Abysmal utopia euphoria
Gravity of life
Black sunset besieged
Reaching
For conclusion
Breath in flame and char
Redemption
Revoking pyre
Revoking pyre
Lies
8:21
With an impressive body of work fanned out over the course of 18 years and five albums which have weathered as many trends, WITHERED continues to confound and refuses to compromise. New album 'Verloren' is the Atlanta quartet's most daring and iconoclastic work yet, one that spits in the eye of complacency and exists as a contrarian masterstroke.
