Crimson Sky

My eyes surely deceive me
As a new truth emerges
Fall into despair
A realm of knowledge hitherto unbeknownst to us
Collapsed in a mass of human slaughter
The limitations of my feeble mind shattered
Unable to comprehend my own demise
Consecrated – veneration of their unholy master
Descending upon mankind like locusts
Sanctifying the act of death
Under the blood red harvest moon
The horrors of my existence have become intuitive reality
Excoriated, this transient moment lasts for eternity
Boundaries broken, husk once containing my flesh
No longer mine, their elation at donning my skin
Consecrated – veneration of their unholy master
Descending upon mankind like locusts
Sanctifying the act of death
Under the blood red harvest moon
A tempest of suffering shoots through me
Brought on by creatures not of this world
Extracted to a new domain of anguish
As I feel my skin peel away
Look around and see the flaying of my fellow man
Faces frozen in abject misery
My own humanity starts to fade
As my skin falls away
Sanctify the act of death
Venerate the overlord
Let his minions take you
As your skin peels away
As your skin peels away…

Monuments of archaic
Gods have fallen
Your faith shall be tested
Embrace the agony
No use to fight us
Give in and watch
As we black out the sun
The air is toxic
Take a breath,
Spew black bile
We have come here for one thing
Exterminate your useless existence
Fires of hate
Burned bright, signaling the end times
Extinguished
Only leaving you smouldering ruin
Feel the warmth
of the fire
Look to the sky
Feel the atmosphere choke
Monuments of archaic gods have fallen
Your streets run with blood
Your god has had enough
Hold onto the second coming
For he, who breathes death is nigh
Embrace your doom,
the human disease
will cease to exist
No need to fear my dear child
The doom will embrace you
And lead
Into Darkness
The Eyes of Ursath
Are on you held
Look up to the sky
Witness the descending
Eradication of hope
Fear me
Fear me
My wish your, veil of flesh
Harvesting epidermis
For a cloak that’s so fine
Luxurious veil made for the divine
Ursath, the eater of worlds
The invasion has begun
No humans left alive
Overpowering a weakly race
Descendants of apes
Praying to a god so great
Your prophets were drunken fools
Doomed from the womb
Sleeping in an eternal tomb
We swarm and cleanse your world
There will be no trace left of you
To history you will be lost
We are your doom
We have come here for one thing
exterminate your useless existence
Fires of hate
burned bright, signaling the end times
extinguished
Only leaving you smoldering ruin
Feel the warmth
of the fire
Look to the sky
Feel the atmosphere choke

A Darkened Wasteland
04:32

As the scrapers fall, a new dawn arises,
Land of the flayed, the world bled dry
I’ve lost my
Faith
That illuminating feeling of hope
Has been ripped apart
narrow minded view of
superior being is lost
All my life gone down the drain
Guess my purpose, skinned and slain
Facing this great dilemma
Am I a man or caged beast?
Blades, Wires, illuminating ectoplasma
Tingling at the joints.
Surgicals incision deepen
Purple veins exposed
Skin peeled resting at the shoulder
Feel the muscles tightening
In the fresh breeze of air
I have to get out of here
Running
Fresh wound
No Arm
Nothing to turn back to
Still the lingering feeling of hope
They cant have gotten them all
Where has everybody gone?
I see only pyres of death
Alone I walk searching this darkened wasteland
All I hear are screams echoing in the fog
When I approach nothing remains
The smell is sickening, where have all the women gone?
Infants crying as the blade slices at their fresh flesh
Left to hang screaming calling for survivors
Mothers leaving bound and gagged
Beamed to the craft above
There-is-no-one-left-to-comfort-the-wailing-infants
The horrors that I’ve witnessed have not made me a better man
My human flaw, my instinct is to run away
I am beaten, there will be no escape
I’ve become human livestock
Castrated, blades strike my flesh
Skin stretched until it gives away
Was this god's plan all along?
Am I butt another piece
Endlessly bleeding, shaking
Shock is setting in
Women lead away
Men and children
Sent to early graves
Screaming in agony
Waiting to be slain
At the pyre I spend my last days
Where do these creatures get their hate?
Don’t save me, I'm already dead.

Swarm of Ursath

Embrace me human slug
We have been dormant for far to long
Now our time has come
To adorn your skin
We are here to end your kin
With our tools of pain
We’ll Abolish the human chain
We’ve come for your flesh
Your essence, your head
For the ancient one has bestowed onto us to weaken your kin.
For your sacrifice he shall grant you a quickened end
For your sacrifice the swarm shall be spared again
For us to survive you must end
Abduction, For thy flesh we need acquire
Execution, to us your existence is meaningless
Annihilation, scourge this worthless planet
Destruction, Is imminent
Brace yourself for the cries of the flayed
They plead for mercy
Their bodies nothing more than a gaping wound
Veins, plasma, flesh exposed
We have been dormant for far to long
Now our time has come to unleash the sun eater
Heed his name
We are the Sky
We are the Servants
We are the Spawn
We are the Swarm of Ursath
We are the Sky
We are the Servants
We are the Spawn
We are the Swarm of Ursath
Destruction
He smells the fear in the air
The taste of iron calming to him
Screams of anguish, ever so pleasing
Feel the pressure as he descends
He has come to end your world

Reaper's Nectar

Look on to me
I am your doom
Hear me
I am your death
I stand before thee, God of redemption
Now come forth and witness
The cleansing of this world
Know the presence of the ancient
I demand this world free of decay
Go forth my swarm and exact sweeping vengeance
Tear these wretched beings apart
I hunger, bring me their mortal shells
The succulent nectar I covet
Separate the skin from flesh
Feast on their remains
Revel in the symphonies of their screams
Leave nothing left alive
Hunt them down with righteous fury
Strike them down in my name
As you cling to your worthless life
Know that your sacrifice serves a higher purpose
The swarm brings you before me this day
So that I may reign for eons more
My faithful servants, fulfill your purpose
Raze their cities to the ground
Let the streets overflow with blood
Bathe in their demise
Separate the skin from flesh
Feast on their remains
Revel in the symphonies of their screams
Leave nothing left alive
Hunt them down with righteous fury
Strike them down in my name
Behold your judgment day
Witness your corruption wiped away
As you cling to your worthless life
Know that your sacrifice serves a higher purpose
The swarm brings you before me this day
So that I may reign for eons more
Revel in the symphonies of their screams
Leave nothing left alive
Hunt them down with righteous fury
Strike them down in my name
Behold your judgment day
Witness your corruption wiped away
