Caustic argot of jesuit heathens,
Billows with great chauvinistic hubris.
Scathing knavery, invidious.
Rhetoric spewed for an unknown purpose.
Tyrants droning.
Trite and base.
Lowborn sycophants,
Calumniate in vain.
Laughing down,
Behind a mask of mirth.
As trumpets and screaming sirens sound and compose our dirge.
Overzealous faith in disparaged prose.
Longing to bask in the golden light of Pharos.
Wallow in its opulence.
The pernicious caitiff weeps.
The eremite remains aloof.
The fading elder harangues.
The myrmidon kills and consumes.
Weighted ankles still trudge on.
Through and through...

Cold synthetic steel,
Lacerates vessels.
Blades spattered with crimson,
Bloodied as the butcher's apron.
Ailing, shattering bones.
Gaping, hemorrhaging wounds.
Repetitious sequence:
067067067
Lists in hundreds,
Etched in the walls,
Of a distressed ivory tower.
Vigor abates,
From lowly thralls.
Vitality drains each passing hour.
Yet before me, lie bronzed effigies.
Enlightened by such musing eyes,
Entranced by their placid gaze.
But the softened lignin of a knarred wood shrine warps and bends.
Then is crushed by the scattered fragments of a crumbling monolith.
Thy infernal void where my only light escapes me.

Incantation recitation.
Vexed within your walls of ruin.
Hideous inner conjuration.
Weight of guilt cracks the foundation.
Straggle in a stasis.
Scapegoat for catharsis.
Only blank space beyond the dead azure iris.
Hands quake, anticipating.
Strangulating.
Muscles aching.
Tendons tearing.
Blood constricting.
Suffocating.
Light leaves the eyes of a gaunt, living failure.
Struggling to gasp as the larynx ruptures.
Breathlessly dragging this soulless husk,
Through a spectral wood of perpetual dusk.
An unmarked grave under a blurred moon.
In a tenebrous vale where terror looms.
May this cathedral of the deep,
Seal your blackened tomb eternally.

Rift Ripper

The cacophonous symphony of a dying machine,
Errors in the signals, thrusting rods, and broken bars.
Grinding gears turn within the rusted mechanisms.
Chewing up and churning out the memories of what was.
Arch of resplendence,
Rises up from the sea.
A spire in the mist,
From within the sunken iron keep.
Elemental juggernaut,
Born from this withered plane.
Abominable manifestation,
Of wretched human apathy.
Polluted, petrified flesh,
Fallen fortress of steel and bone.
Lethal poison, noxious toxins,
Ripping through the rift of our home.
The schism of our existence,
Was bound to lead us here.
This seething cauldron of sordid life,
Erased as if we never were.
Defaced.
Erased.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
