Ia Ashta-Vahat servant of Angra Mainyu
Personified decay the cold entropic touch
Ripples, seizures, ecstasy as the body dies
Descendo angel of darkness
Emanation of the Other Side bone divider
In snakeskin forms I sing your praise
And call to the feast
Come! And drink my soul as wine
Until I am but a shadow of thy terrible form
Drain me unmercifully as I gaze upon your horror
From great slashes of lightning
To the rotting skull of a dog
In the blood of the chosen
On the thorns of acacia in the songs of Great Saturn
Return the power to the earth
Lord of the mysteries of Death and resurrection
I call to thee Osiris I beseech thee grant your wisdom
Place your staff upon my brow for the keys to immortality
Unlock, as well, the gates of Death
I invert the cross of life and let it hang as a noose
There will be no resurrection there will be no holy light
Awaiting perished saints O Holy Death claim your kingdom
Reduce this wretched matter to Nothingness
Omukade ascend the mountain coil 'round and pierce the stone
Envenom the veins of the holy creation strangled in thy web
Vengeful serpent, wrathful queen let me drink the poisoned blood
Of God come, emissary look into my eyes

Anathema

I bow to the holy heresy
The head of the goat crowned by fire
Mangled arms outstretched, bloody sickle held between the eyes
Carving the signs of the accuser into my living flesh
With the hidden name of El cut into the corpse of my enemy
To pay the price of gods and reveal the secrets of the Devil
O horrors acosmic let them move through
I am his weapon anathema
Phurba the blade that is held to the throat of the world
Splitting the staff of Caeducas, murder the Auri will crush the pillars
And from their charred remains a monument shall be built
A vehicle to scale the heavens, there I shall stand
Iron grasp on seraphic wings, embodiment of all fear
Their voices speaking louder urging me to act
My gift to the world shall be my Death
Necrovore my Death breathes through me
The way will never be shut
I give unto you the shell of my body
Possess me, come forth to this world
Make me one with your light great serpent of Chaos
May your venom dissolve this delusion of life
Scaling the tree that was born
From the seed of the hanged man
Occultus dea manifesta mortem
Narcotic blood rites plasmatic vomit
Upon the harts skull from between the horns
Revealed are the angels through which the Master
Shall rise bathed in the blood of Brahman
In power of the Black Sun and I am his weapon anathema
Phurba the blade that is held to the throat of the world
Embody the shadows, I drink from the well empower this vessel
Act through thy sign splitting the staff of Caeducas
Murder the Aur Samhara Bhairava
The sound of defeat and the the gnashing of teeth
Devouring light, stripping all karma undoing creation
And time rise now! Ye power of entropy
Degrade and destroy the chains of Samsara
Scaling the treet that was born from the seed
Of the hanged man occultus dea manifesta mortem
Occultum morta manifestus

Necrosophia

Unseeing eye force of uncreation a writhing mass voiceless
Nameless legions whose multitude tongues only heard
In the silence of a tomb the secrets of the pentagram opened
The gate to becoming inverting the currents of our starlit cosmos
To fold inward the rivers of Eden to see the light
Unseen and feel beyond the flesh to know the paths
Beyond time and speak Her name...
I speak all curses against you I spew forth venom
Upon your head I strike your name from all life
In reverent praise of my goddess I burn with hate
Against all I bleed myself in adoration of all embracing
A love beyond the genetic noose of the word
Beyond the threads of fate I coat my body in decay
And diseased flesh I write my secret name
Among Death's hallowed kin the only truth waits past
The veil of Self! And I shall seek it solely
And I shall shun deceptions until thy altar is stained
With the blood of those hated and loved
Nourish the tree whose roots of vitriol
Extend beyond the expanse of time for am born of the Nothing
And to its womb I shall return baptised in the blood of Creation
A monument to the failing of life revel in the glory of the snake
As it coils round the falling star so brilliant in the solitude of night
Lighting my path to the temple of Nine in my wake
The glory of Void my herald, the rising of horns
To see the light unseen and feel beyond the flesh
To know the paths beyond time and speak Her name...

Life is not the end, life is not the beginning
My life is but a step upon this path
Countless deaths with every step
My face... I barely recognize
Yet the eyes remain the same
My spirit remains though this vessel may change
Thus is impermanence one second, I live
In one second, I die thus I must prepare
I shall prepare the way for my true self
This face, this voice, these hands...
So tirelessly trudging through the echoes of Saturn's
Great storm the lifespan of a fly
And as the maggots before me I shall eat of this Death
The rot that lay before me on this carcass of mine
Shall I feast nourish my soul nourish the earth
Til the stars, like embers disperse from my footfalls
My next step on this path

Solipsist Dreams

Oh mother, sweet mother
You have shielded your children for too long
Coiled around their fragile minds
Release me from the shackles of your love
For I burn with the light of a newborn sun
And the reflections from your scales
Have blinded me for far too long
This world is a dream
The language of Choronzon
Eternal psychagog
Let us interpret his signs
And commune with the divine
In whispered spells of praise to Death
I am a stranger
Born unwillingly unto this land
The demons that speak to me in sleep
Scream at me in daylight
No solace in this life
Just sorrow - bleeding, gagging
From the wound that birthed my soul
And now the Master has come
Oh mother, sweet mother
The lord of the graves is calling me
And I long to drown in the waters of memory
I lie awake at night in anger
Reflecting on a life of regret
Let me look upon your face
This world has nothing for me
Let me speak you name
I have become as one with all
And found it lacking
Thus I turn my eyes away
From the hollow of the world
I find completion
In the stillness of breath
The silence of second death
The clear light of the abyss
In rapturous ascent I am delivered
Unto the womb of death and unwavering darkness
All-pervading glory of shadows within shadows
To knowledge forbidden and arcane
To slack the jaw of the serpent from its tail
And unlock the golden door of Pentagrammaton
For the ouroborous wyrm is rotten
And the bones of its spine are bare
Yet still it moves, ribs contorted into million legs
Scales upon its back as armor
Mandibles outstretched to devour the coming dawn
She calls to you...
Her voice is reaching out
"Everything as it once was"
Thus I descend
Unto the core of All being
Where I am beholden to Death
With eyes of gold
As the atoms of my body
Are torn from their bindings
I shall lay my mind unto Her waters
And the father's eyes shall close in sleep
Emptied mind and heart of self
Step away from the light of life
Millenia passing as but a dream
As the night returns to its throne
I follow the peacocks tail
Feathers and Eyes in Fractalized Flame
Reveal the illusion of form
Return to the Dark
Everything as it once was
One mind sharing the same dream
