Ancestors
03:08
|
|||
Our ancestors chased the sun north
No moonlight would touch their skin
We follow their paths
and chase our herds north
But now our herd trips the bones of giants
Break their legs and die
Our herd gets trapped in wire
Bleed out and die
The dead fish rise to the surface
Their flesh rotten and tasting of death
The water from the lake is tainted
We fall sick after quenching our thirst

Pestilent Horde
02:46
|
|||
The sun can split stone
And shift the earth beneath
Till it forces up its ancient dead
And the demons held within
I watch them stride across the tundra
Walking dead, a pestilent horde
That carry ancient plagues
Within their aching bodies
We devour them
Till they infest our very being.
Lesioned skin and ulcer lungs
That can’t gasp for air
I watch them stride across the tundra
Walking dead, a pestilent horde
That carry ancient plagues
Within their aching bodies
Mans harbinger walks on cloven hooves

Pathologic

We lie here in agony
Our butchers are masked
No tainted blood can touch
Their skin or fill their lungs
A pillar of smoke on the horizon
Ancient demons burn in the fire
A column of fire on the horizon
Hells fire brings damnation
We lie here in agony
Our butchers stride past
Across the steppe of murderous spectres
The bone-child in pestilent flame
The poison blood-faced sunset
Chars the ashen plain
Pestilent death
Sloughed yellow skin
The plagued reach to the sky
Amidst diseased kin
Father, hear our death-prayer
Dispel this baneful hell
Let this plagued soil
Burn itself within me alone
They pull their herd aside
Cast in pits, hearts alive
Liquid flame sticks to skin
Rotten filth burned of sin
Beneath the astral pyre
Lies the tundra ablaze
Our bodies stacked
In flaming orgy
Our hands claw to the sky
Burning black smoke fills
Each gasp of air
A pointless struggle to the surface
And drowning in a sea of flame

Tundra Ablaze
08:55
|

My master calls me forward,
A servant bent and bowed.
My faith has yielded worth
And I inherit from my lord
The realm beneath his own
This earth is mine
I am lord of all that is under heaven
Cleanse all with fire.
All that exists here is my dominion.
Let the surface of the earth
Be scorched forevermore
Birthright, entitled, infallible
I am heir to the throne.
My flames will purify all
You’ll suffer and bleed under me
I’ll make you dig your graves deeper
Guide me to my home
I thread across the great white north
Its mountains fall before me
I crack the earth below
And gods holy flames burst forth
No trees, no life, no hope
This is what the good lord gives to me
A desolate hell of my design
All trembles before me
Till I come to the plain
And I watch the tundra ablaze

The Thaw
05:30
|

The thaw brings ancient beings you cannot fathom
You think that ancient worms cannot trouble you
But underneath the ice are creatures more ancient than man
When your body falls
Decaying nematodes will feast
The ash to which we return
Is the ash that will kill us
When your body falls
Decaying nematodes will feast
The ash to which we return
Is the ash that will kill us

Lá na fola
05:47

Corrú ithreach thíos,
Tréigim do Dhia,
mar a d'fhág do Dhía mé.
An domhain á dhó,
Dó domhain,
Beirt deamhan,
Deamhain á ndó
Lá na fola
Mo dheora fola
Lá na fola
Mo dheora fola
Bhur nDia Fola,
Tá an domhain dóite

Astral Pyre
05:22
|
|||
A single man crosses the plain.
Dragging a sled covered in
Kindling and oil canisters,
His body draped in oilskins
Eventually he comes across
A carcass. A dead reindeer.
He wastes no time.
He plugs the orifices and
Builds a funeral pyre and
Ties a thick canvass bag over
The animals head
He covers the pyre In fuel
And lights it either side
It burns for what feels like days
Him constantly adding kindling
To fuel the immolation.
In the end there is only ash
He douses the ash in liquid,
Packs up the sled and begins
Moving across the plain,
Struggling in the sweltering heat
