lyrics
I feel my body coalesce in the fade / The portents on my skin sing with vacuous pain / Entrails suffuse across the sunken flesh / Decay en masse signaling the coming of death
Comprised by torture and dictating the means of necrophilic consummation, a death with the seed / Return the sacred, return the hatred / My earthbound home spits me forth and bids me farewell
Cursed by necromantic design / Haunted by my unrest / A cold flame burns over me / Pulling at the chains of death
Carve me out / They set my bones beneath the ground to rot / Wake the undead
Disturb the soil, tear the remnants of bone / Claw through blood and shit, defy the pit, reclaim the soul / Maggots flooding an oozing maw / Crawling neath a flesh broken only by time
My hands clutch the face of god.
My mouth cries an unheard sound.
I speak with the tongue of Belial.
Resurrected, I am unbound.
Broken yet whole, I tear at my carcass / Dragging the weight of rebirth /
My tombstone lay shattered, a pile of ash / Disseminating into the earth with me
My hands clutch the face of god.
My eyes cry frozen tears.
I scream with the rule of Gehenna.
Exhumed for a thousand years.
Lost in incessant torture.
Walking death, servant to man.
Drawing pain from the wicked, I justify them all being hung from each crenellated wall / I drag each corpse to the center of the square to be stoned and left desecrated.
Comprised by torture and dictating the means of necrophilic consummation, a death with the seed / Return the sacred, return the hatred / My earthbound home spits me forth and bids me farewell
Cursed by necromantic design / Haunted by my unrest / A cold flame burns over me / Pulling at the chains of death
Carve me out / They set my bones beneath the ground to rot / Wake the undead
Disturb the soil, tear the remnants of bone / Claw through blood and shit, defy the pit, reclaim the soul / Maggots flooding an oozing maw / Crawling neath a flesh broken only by time
My hands clutch the face of god.
My mouth cries an unheard sound.
I speak with the tongue of Belial.
Resurrected, I am unbound.
Broken yet whole, I tear at my carcass / Dragging the weight of rebirth /
My tombstone lay shattered, a pile of ash / Disseminating into the earth with me
My hands clutch the face of god.
My eyes cry frozen tears.
I scream with the rule of Gehenna.
Exhumed for a thousand years.
Lost in incessant torture.
Walking death, servant to man.
Drawing pain from the wicked, I justify them all being hung from each crenellated wall / I drag each corpse to the center of the square to be stoned and left desecrated.

Thine hath before thee a fine OSDM demo. Wroughteth with emanations of cavernous proportions, fit to rippeth thy aural loins in twain. Enjoyeth of deep death and of monstrous metal of the olde school faith.
