Part I [What Awaits at Death's Gates]
What awaits at death's gate
Hast mine kingdom come?
Or is my golden dream dethroned by oblivion?
Part II [Inferno Andante]
Slowly
With Trepidation rich
I walk the lonely walk through the inferno
9 circles of sorrow await my creation
Tomb spirits coming into and out of existence
Wandering, lost in eternity
Or oblivion, as life has made it seem
A grim and morbid dream
Only to suffer the throes of melancholy
Masochistically
As I walk the eternal lonely walk
Through the inferno andante
Seven vices Pale as the ghost
Hailing from a pentagram carved into the top of a castle
Older than time but younger than the existence of mine
My time has come, my time has gone
This path I walk extending beyond
All senses
Infinity is even intimidated
But wintry shadows moved and caressed my fiery form
Relaxing my body
Gone are feelings of lovelorn jocundity
Acceptance of the path I take to the golden hell bound gate blocking eternity
Oblivion wanders to and fro ever lasting waters that run like tears down the face of the Raven
The guiding aviary
Walking with me
Through inferni andante
Part III [Visions in the Imperi]
Portraits animate
To reveal the face
Each of the heptagonal regency
Belphegor, Prince of sloth
Yet giver of inventions from ingenious cloth
Asmodeus, Prince of lust
Yet provider for procreation and free us from a path to dust
Satan, and Amon, Princes of wrath
Yet emotions each knows never should be restrained until bloodbath
Beezelbub, Prince of gluttony
Yet metabolic tempter for the fruits of victory (and her spoils)
Leviathan, Prince of envy
Yet he knows progress is never to be chained indefinitely
Particularly coveting what one lacks and others do not
Traits that advanced each one of us to the dawn of a new time (the death and reincarnation of each day)
Mammon, Prince of greed
Yet he rules with Leviathan's envy to unlock the gate with the key
Found deep in knowledge's library
Vaster than the macrocosm
And stronger than Atlas
Lucifer, the Prince of pride
So called deadliest sin to die
Wings seemingly broken by God in sky
Yet he (Lucifer) is the one that has driven us
Given us
The ways to better us
Part IV [Realization]
Indulgence, but not compulsion
Is the true way to live by the seven sins
As prophesied on
The ides of March's dawn
By the seventh son of a seventh son
And I see from afar the full moon
And the sun
Becoming
One
I will walk this infernal walk
I will walk this eternal walk
Even if my lifetimes uncountable
Were to chain me to the rock.
Part V [Coda/Reprise]
I will walk this infernal walk
I will walk this eternal walk
Even if my lifetimes uncountable
Were to chain me to the rock.

Neurosis of the Flies

Neurosis of the flies
When snow falls like black blood
Entombing the shrine
Unreality reveals itself
Excremental decomposition of souls
Edified
In a world of sorrow
Watch as the flies try to devour
What has never died nor lived
What is virtue? What is sin?
The flies grow mad, famished and exhausted
Neurosis has birthed from,
As with Coprophagia in Babylon,
And Like the goat of a thousand young,
A Planck time spent in human dung.

She...
Rules the constellation
Under her
Turning the song of the macrocosm
Hereunto a dirge
Prepare, for the imperial beauty
A queen transcendental
Like Hecate but of the mortal world
May we faint by her embrace
Even she, however, carries dark truths
Resting quiescently beneath her skin
Ruthlessness awaits you all
Unless you kneel before
The empress of this dimension
Holder, keeper of the keys (to the pearly gates)
Pearls, if cast before swine
Are an augury of a fate too cruel for the mind
Lesser keys of lesser beings
Mercurous they become
Entering the eye of the pentagram
Rapt in starlight
All shall hail
The Blasphemous Imperial Goddess of Northern Hellfire and Satandarkness
Eterna regina, veni.
How fiery her spirit
And how lithesome her form
Her beauty intimidating
To the weak
Mementa Regina
Remember the queen
Whose beauty
Eclipses the moon serpent
Such beauty
I could only behold before in dreams
But I know now my time has come forward
So spake the prophecies...
Sanguine blasphemies
By the sword of Suns
Beasts join as one
For the queen
Of beauty, but also total, pandemic destruction.
(Dedicated to Ruth Palmer.)

(Instrumental, but accompanying text here)
Þar kemr inn dimmi dreki fljúgandi,
naðr fránn, neðan frá Niðafjöllum;
berr sér í fjöðrum, - flýgr völl yfir, -
Niðhöggr nái. Nú mun hon sökkvask.
From below the dragon dark comes forth,
Nithhogg flying from Nithafjoll;
The bodies of men on his wings he bears,
The serpent bright but now must I sink.
(Excerpt from the last verse of Völuspá)
