One eye is blind to all
Obsidian reflection
The symbol on the wall
A passage through dimension
Colder
Paler than snow
Evil
Sits upon the throne
An equal turned to stone
Obsidian Reflection
A brother lost, alone
The twins of swift possession
Colorless
Wickedness
Powerless
To resist
Consumed by shadow
The source of all power
Unsustained by flesh
A vessel will be found
Decay begets your stronghold
You covet what you hate
Consumed by shadow
A lack of all color
Drained by death
We come to dust
Your greed begets your downfall
The brand upon his skin
A talisman
Ritual of remembrance
Words neither written nor spoken
Heard in the space between breaths
A reflection
Ritual of sacrifice
Lovers neither living nor dead
Born from the space within you
A bloodletting
Ritual of magic
Power neither given nor taken
Called to the space between worlds
A binding spell
Ritual of empathy
Life neither lost nor returned
Flows in the space between them
The waters run red
With magic and blood
The stone betrays his conscience
The stone controls his mind
The stone will leave him hollow
But she is of his kind
And she will be his savior

An endless cycle
An endless knot
An endless labyrinth
Which path will lead to rot?
A broken chain
A broken line
O, time, we hold divine
The prophecy
The chosen few
The cycle starts anew
O, weary traveler
So scarred with time
You wage the battle
This is your design
A broken chain
A broken line
O, time, we hold divine
The prophecy
The chosen few
The cycle starts anew
You made us all believe
Our destruction is the devil’s desire
But you are the architect
Of time’s end
Forged by pain
Desire your compass
All your secrets
No longer concealed
Ariadne spins her web
Blood imbued in every thread
Only she can see the center
Only she can stop the spread
Sic mundus creatus est

Notre Fin Nous Connaît

Today is going to eat me alive
All in my head
And trying to remove the teeth from the beast
I dreamt that I went deaf and blind
Existence in a void
No color
No sound
All my senses end in death
The feeling of flesh
Imprisoning my consciousness
And the smell of rot
Choking my breath
And the taste of blood
Drowning from the inside
All my senses end in death
The smell of sick
Spills from my lips
A limb removed
The pain persists
Let me go
The yellowed skin
The jaundiced tint
Take off my mask
See how it fits
Let me go

Fallow, Hallowed

Loud enough
To shake the foundations of your faith
Deep enough
To leave a chasm in your wake
Proud enough
Forsaken by the wretched congregation
Bleed enough
To summon the powers of creation
Each abuse of power
Brings you one step
Closer to ruin
Virtue rooted in marshland
You hold no water
It washes you away
The only way to
Quell your ghost is
To greet death as a friend
This is our forest
I never left
Conjoined forever
And still bereft
This is our prison
I cannot leave
Condemned to serve you as I grieve
(Branches bend into a cage
Moonlit shadows on a stage
Shackled to a broken man
My blood on your hands)
As I scream “you are not real”
You whisper the same into my ear
Every step we take together
Poisons the soil upon which we trod
Wallow in your shallow grave
Deer tread upon the fallow ground
Their antler velvet shed in blood
Ancient symbols on the trees
Take all that you can
Give nothing but hate
Hexagram of blood and moss
Deer tread upon the hallowed ground
Their teeth laid out in reverie
A ritual to celebrate your passing
Take all that you can
Give nothing but hate
The teeth
The blood
The moss
The soil
(This burnt offering
Given to the earth
Separated I
Am the sacrifice)
The only way to
Quell your ghost is
To greet death as a friend

Let the Galaxy Burn

Unsettling in a similar vein as some of COIL’s most uncomfortable works, but obviously in a good way. S H R I E K I N G makes some of my favorite music.
