The Tower 08:30
Cracks lining the inside Just like Hoary, porous bone I wander on my own Alone On ice so very thin As reason’s lowered in Within Lowered in to drown Again, I let myself down Again, the sighs and frowns To feed the maw of oppression To sow the seed of division (Inhale) Inhale (Exhale) Exhale Into the tower I go Into the tower Into the tower I go A slave, to cower I am among the Sick, sick, sick, sick And reason I do betray All light will fade away Someday When blades cut to the pith Slashing thoughts of joy with The same old fucking scythe My own antagonist By darkness all obscured Into its rooms I’m lured Where bliss I do abjure Into the tower I go Into the tower Into the tower I go A slave, to cower

Serpent God 07:52
In darkness We do reign Time to partake The carnal law We abide Rituals of perversion Ravenous, we engage In unholy feasts To exult Feel the blood On your skin Lewd salvation Uncoil your length Show us your strength O, squirming god O, serpent god Master, arise From the pit Invert the cross Violate Desecrate Invocate Dominate (Ritual) We serve you You and you alone We serve you You and you alone Uncoil your length Show us your strength O, squirming god O, serpent god

Leech 06:17
Leech Leech Leech, leech Adhere to the calling of the leech Adhere to fear Adhere to the calling of the leech Rip open your mind To reveal your best kept inner fears My lies make you blind To a truth that’s rendered so unclear Behold, your body’s burning I am thy lord, thy savior Leech Leech Leech, leech Adhere to the calling of the leech Adhere to fear Adhere to the calling of the leech The bile will flow The sorrow will grow You must not see what I see You must shut your eyes and sleep You must fall in with the sheep As I attach myself to you and suck your blood Blood Suck Your blood Sucking Your blood

Wormtongue 06:10
My life is a war I’m battered and worn down Look into my eyes And you will see nothing Bereft of life I’ll fall Into a slumber so soothing The cloven tongue On my skin Give in to sin Give in to sin Give in to sin The cloven tongue Beneath my skin It’s gushing in It’s gushing in I deal in pain The needle in my vein The struggle is in vain The cloven tongue On my skin Give in to sin Give in to sin Give in to sin The cloven tongue Beneath my skin It’s gushing in

Into the crypt Rotten cobwebs Utter darkness prevails Another one rising From the tomb Gestated in death’s womb They will keep on coming The dead, for you The living dead will keep on killing There’s no way out You’re dead Decaying entrails Induce regurgitation Body’s deformed By obscene mastication Eyes crushed And rancid amputations Your body’s torn apart Come down Descend into … Down here The darkness will eat you A thousand nightmares You will live through Inside the crypt That you’ve helped build, too They will keep on coming The dead, for you The living dead will keep on killing There’s no way out You’re dead Limbs are sewn back To form a new composite whole Resurrected Your body reconnects with your soul Only to be trapped anew By the living dead And torn apart again Come down Descend into … Down here The darkness will eat you A thousand nightmares You will live through Inside the crypt That you’ve helped build, too All we do is fail Into the crypt

about

PRE-ORDER VINYL JANUARY 26 AT DHU RECORDS

Embark on a journey through a dark wasteland infested with oozing swamps, sludge and filth. Feel the stinging blood seeping from a sky blackened by the funeral pyre of mankind. All hope is lost. The end times are upon us. Worship at the altar of decadence.

Pledge allegiance to the DREAD WITCH ... this is doom for the doomed!
