Charnel House Lyrics

Lifeless chasms ere expanding, worming their ways... Far beyond the grip of time.
All-consuming beasts stand guard the labyrinth... Slaughtering all who dare to escape.
Dungeon walls of their own makings proudly display... Trophies of their ignorance
As the stench of forfeited lives pervades the halls... Endless torment awaits inside the charnel house.

The foul air bespeaks a pain
Worthy of the old world... Before The Flood.
All was well the way it was
Everything in its own space... Perfection.

Blood moon can't wait for the night
Seven soulless wonders fly
From their flaming, hoary perch

Children of the Luminary
Infinitely behold darkness
As a lie that's told too often

Sowing plagues and reaping death
Soaring past your dead idols
Taking back their belongings

They speak of the past as if it's
Always occurring within their
Ancient caverns of existence

Beyond the half-lit landscape
Whispers tales of loss and woe
Which both fools and gods deny
And the begotten earth bemoans

The Worthless sing a verse of Hope
Hope that's long-since been betrayed
By those who stood idly by
And I am their fucking king

Visions of the Birth of Time fade away
Leaving a hole for death to invade
Bringing woe and lamentations
In its wake

The Old World came to her side like a ghost
Whispering dreams of how to erect
The New World
Stone by stone

The force that holds up the sky gives way to the force that holds down the earth... Bringing it all down

Paradox reigns squelching flesh from the bones of the condemned horde exposing all... To intense suffering

Vermin intrude... Intently writhing toward imbrued souls... Frantically consumed

Leaving nothing... Except holes where heaven's lights plunge forever... Utterly destroyed

The damned steps up to the gallows noose
Making pleas for penance
His lofty stance affords a clear view
Solemn view of his sins
He will never find absolution

How has it come to this?
So horrifically wrong
Finally conformed to the Filth
Finally overcome by the Calling.

What have we done... And how does this end?
There's no escape... Hope has forsaken.
No end in sight... Everlasting death.
Mercy abhors... Merciless sinners.

Behold, the fall of man
Destroyed from deep within
Prophecy
Is fulfilled
Long ago

Fall into madness
Perpetual misery
Weeping and wailing
And gnashing of teeth

After the skin worms
Have destroyed your flesh
Yet in your body
You will meet your own cruel gods

Realm of the Revelation

Children of the Luminary
Infinitely behold darkness
As a lie that's told too often

Sowing plagues and reaping death
Soaring past your dead idols
Taking back their belongings

They speak of the past as if it's
Always occurring within their
Ancient caverns of existence
Spontaneously exploding

Causing a new creation
Barren lands consecrated
By the nameless forgotten
Proclaiming the Old World dead

Children of the Luminary

Sowing plagues and reaping death

They speak of the past as if it's
Always occurring within their
Ancient caverns of existence
Spontaneously exploding
