At the Gates

Up the stone steps to the gates
Fill the air dark soot flakes
Falling down from doomed heavens
You have stood there long before
You'd become Keeper of the Athanor
Before you heard voices
Calling you from inside
Begging you to be the one
Urging you to take the crown
You have heard them long before
You'd become Keeper of the Athanor

Pull the levers
Needles racing
A scorching fever
On every skin
Layers peeled off
Will shape the sight
Of vileness untold
Rising up in the night
Levels all checked
Lead lids all shut
Pellucid shells
Gasping for sludge
Lives entangled
With fear and blindness
Now open their eyes
As their screams fill your head
When they've all left
With them the stench
The bare moonlight
Will guide your search
Every chamber
Every altar
Unholy promise
Of a glorious birth

The Works
03:42

Howling winds singing low across the caves
Some relief for these souls that no god saves
Keep inventory - where did they all go?
Death and entropy out there to get you
Burning without heat, consuming all souls
The mind-crushing screams, the suffocating smoke
Rising from the ground, slithering shadow
Creeping round and round, the moaning at the door
All you have to do is make it work till dawn
For when the night is through all may come undone
What will be revealed when you break the crust?
The perfect being - in the Athanor we trust

There were no days
There were no nights
No sense of time
Tides or eras
Your work was done well
Each creature unique
But soon tolled the bell
For your thriving boutique
I am the Prince of Whatever
I am the Son of who you know
I'm here to ask for a favour
Please come here with us down below
Make me one that never sleeps
Make me one that looks like her
Make me one that will love me
We'll be birds of a feather
They're dragging you astray
Enlightenment is gone
And as the night abrades
Your work is never done

Reptile Queen

|
Her crown resting in her lap, grieving
I can see tears in her eyes shining
For tonight I have to part
From the Reptile Queen
Her scales sliding against my skin
Turned me fleetingly to her kin
Wide open eyes of emerald green
O my Reptile Queen
The thrill of her cold embrace is gone
Since the first sudden bite has come
To wake me up from my dreams
Of the Reptile Queen
Deadly venom in my blood
Her gaze delving into my heart
Found out I had to shed my love
For the Reptile Queen

Decay

|
The first minute of the very first day
Your skin crackled and turned to grey
What remains of you, I say
Is the bleak shadow of your former self
TRAGEDY
Your stare as deep as the deepest caves
Your human brains ground down to dust
Your visions the Athanor craves
Your will of steel giving in to rust
AGONY
How long was it since you chose to bear
This crown of lead of the first keeper
There's no way out of this wretched lair
Yet your black chalk bones dig deeper
MISERY
