The Mountain Gate
hear the charging
from forthcoming winds
rotting earth; ebony sky
we'll take them where they lie
winters of hatred
dead frozen in piles
mortality fades, consumed;
here all of the flesh resides
no peace in this endless war
no end to further the suffering
no escape from dawn to decay
no release until maggots defiling
there was never any hope
there is only mass demise
no tomorrow for dead souls
no heaven for their lies
your future
your being
your hearts relentless beating
this kingdom
my crown
all fears of yours have drowned
fear drifts away
no hope resides
no future for dead souls
no life left in pale eyes
blessed sacrifices
an unending storm
unstoppable chaos
soul-sucking worm
a nightmare dawn approaches
the light removed, Lucifer reigns
surrender fear, approach the inverse
atrocity unnamed, murderous silent killer
deceitful and ignorant, forever perish
mighty spirit guide me, awaken
a deathless sleep, no longer rotting cold
from the shadowed son of lies
betrayed and poisoned,
amongst the stars the heavens collapse and fall
surrender faith and return...
surrender faith and realize...
great beyond, hear my call
possess me with the insight of
truth be told, burned alive
an angelic display of pain
forevermore, take my soul
my burden bring the reign, conquest told
forevermore, my burden bring the reign
I am home
moving through transparency, I breathe
gasps of falling fog
gravity is leaving me
across the melting vibrant shores
above the light
a blazing spirit
this hand hits to the heart
releasing solvent, protects the wild
dreaming breathing life force from within
silent, watching shadow silhouette
another plateau burned into cerebral hemispheres,
awakened, by a five point star across the sky
untied from fear, bringer of truth
an ocean of blue eyed flames, descends divine
the flames of sin
dark moon in misanthropic waves
the watcher of the sun, it wanes and falls into the sea...
and we ride into open storm
removed the mind's eye
to read the runes
sadistic pulse in chaos waves ahead
power to the undead rising nation
4. Beyond the Mountain Gate
Over divided lands
the moon melts upon western shores, black sun rising.
Son of a god lost casts flames from a
flickering hell, cleansing the Earth.
Fevered unholy war
tempered and tested we battle as one.
Northern shadow inverting
malevolent cross, eclipsing the light.
Black mountains stood beyond
above the ground they walked and under crystals they rose.
From under funeral fires
souls blinded, frozen in heavenless air.
In agony, fall beyond the void
A greater understanding found within death.
Into the night, fear surrounds
Gathering all the empty promises
Black thundering hail
Bleeding Red
Silver Deep
Severed ties to life in dreams
Feared Disease
Smoldering, putrid truth
Unforgiving
Heaven Cold
From the Mountain Gates
Sacred Liars
No Longer Known
Great Apocalyptic
