Within the Dead Horizon





arise my servants, my slaves 

exclaimed by the lord of atrocities 

bodies the soul left unclaimed, rotting away 

empty and ripe for the taking 

to exercise thou blackened will 

thine corpses unearth 

rise forth from the summoning 

an army of undead cretins pour from the earth 



beyond the dead horizon 

feeding the river of woe 

a cantus of coins to pay the toll 

upon the ferrymen's vessel 

within the dead horizon 

the abduction of wandering souls 

left to atone as revenants 

in their bodies enslaved forever 



pestilent armies will coalesce 

feasting on the blood of mortal flesh 

minions of the underworld unveil 

the embrace of armageddon 

pestilent armies will coalesce 

feasting on the blood of mortal flesh 

minions of the underworld create 

boundless devastation 



awakened from the clutches of infinity 

his mission, not yet complete 

the slayer of cerberus himself must come forth 

to purify the aftermath 

of the hellhound's defeat 



[m. pugh solo] 



beyond the dead horizon 

feeding the river of woe 

the excrement of the netherworld 

overflow in a vast formation 

within the dead horizon 

the abduction of wandering souls 

left to atone as revenants 

in their bodies enslaved forever 



deprived of judgment wandering souls 

succumb to calls of the 

incantation of the resurrection



[m. low solo] 



deprived of judgment

succumb to calls 

of the flesh

Condemned Assailant





drawn into the labyrinth 

of those damned by lust of the flesh 

naked, tattered and tormented bodies 

ripped apart  

by the howling shriek of a whirlwind 

ensnaring a deviant kind

threshing about forevermore 



minos, then whispered to him, 

“you are now prisoner here!

condemned to the boiling of blood 

for the souls you've bestowed upon us

in the wickedest ways 

from war-ridden days on the earth

sentenced in the past to a lifetime eternally.

this assailant now ours for eternity”



banished to the underworld

but the judge could not foresee

he was an enemy and he's come to slay his king

from beyond the gates i have come for victory

i am the enemy and i've come to slay your king



[solo m. pugh]



the judge kneeled to submit

to present an offering

hold back to watch him plea 

as he grovels on his knees 

“in exchange for all your mercy 

i will grant you amnesty”

but the lies between his teeth

hold a stench of fantasy



[solo m. low]

[solo m. pugh]

[solo m. low]

[solo j. schwallier]



engulfed by a maelstrom of lustful dead

he snatched out the tongue from the judge's head

putting his limp serpent body to use

he strangled minos with his tail like a noose



eyes grown darker appearing shallow and thin

life is seeping forth from the dead vessel within 

i've freed them all from this cretan

i've freed them all

 

condemned assailant 

will release the weight off of the crown

nothing will sway him on his path to cocytus

he is bound



with blood drying fast on his fingertips

his vigorous yearning to massacre wickedness

nothing can stand in his way 

on this journey to slay the beast 

not even the hand of god

not even the hand of god

A Beckoning Thrall





a voice from the past cries out to him,

“drink the blood and taste the flesh”

with no one to fight and nothing in sight

he reluctantly heeds the call



[solo m. pugh] 



“the guardian of this realm

vanquished and slain 

by my blade which i wish to regain

'twas not my will to take his life  

nor my lust for blood”



it beckons from the lake of phlegathon

once obtained by the hands this demigod



the blade's hunger, whispers in his ear

“together we'll eradicate all of your fears

your enemies will drench in the shadow of your reign

supreme you'll be as they bow to their king”



it calls him from the lake of phlegathon

once obtained by the hands this demigod

reunite they must

it's their destiny to rule both hell and the heavens



a voice from the past cries out to him

“to drink the blood and taste the flesh”

with no one to fight and nothing in sight

he knows his mind is lost



a beckoning thrall

leads him deeper through the chasm

pressing forth willingly to gain true power

to gain true power



beneath his feet in a slush of putrefaction

lie the gluttonous souls of dead sinners

reaching out for him to save them

but their souls are lost 

their cries are useless to them

frothing like dogs



[solo m. low]



a void of darkness swells inside of his chest

as his hunger grows for the power he once possessed



the last flicker of his soul resides

still pure and deep within 

immersed in bloodlust

and buried by the blade's deception

twisted in its lie

deeper through the hollows he must return

his fate now aligned

Through the Depths





[solo m. pugh]



he travels deeper into the cursed nether 

his eyes endowed with disbelief

a sea of lost souls gather here 

in the quartus ring of endless avarice

victors of misfortune 

suffering all but rapturous



he travels deeper into this cursed realm

as he proceeds through the atrocity

smitten by the blight of the damned



only to gain the powers that be

a hand must be dealt to seal a prominent fate

a sea of lost souls gather here 

in the quartus ring of endless avarice



[solo j. malone]



dignitaries clash with no anger or rage

dispirited grunts echo

blank faces struggle under the weight

without notice without care 

to our warrior's entrance

this cavern of endless exhaustion



movement catches the eye 

shrouded tendrils begin to oscillate

toward the end of the cirrus

sits a man with a crown

intrigued by his guest in his palace 

in the world of dead champions

as the deity announces his presence

plutus thirsts for dominance and remains

unbound by the partitions of this realm

the measure of power by the weight 

of ones earthly claims



[solo m. pugh]



an offer was stated 

bringing balance to the tides 

the beast of greed is taken aback

whilst evil is dancing it must still be slain

only to gain the powers that be  

a hand is dealt to seal a prominent fate



[solo m. pugh]



fulfilling the decrees of the prophecies

that dwell in the clutches of time

with hoarding and plunder lest ye benign curse by design 

a divine comedy to indulge in this never-ending agony



verbal agreements pass through their teeth

drenching thine ethics with corrosive filth



greed cannot fill this bottomless pit

his efforts are endless as all life will wilt

breathless endeavors gasping for air

these lies become snakes that coil your throat

the ending is further than others have dared

the waves that have come to engulf in despair



to the depths i will guide you

for a debt you will pay

through the depths i will guide you

to the one you must slay

Enraged and Drowning Sullen





cycles of livid death in the shallows of the stygian marsh

toiling with dying breath true horrors of the trapped souls 

below that of a seething cauldron

drowning beneath, bereft and sullen

never to breach the surface forever to suffer 



tides of murk churn

somatic beings of wrath flail

striking one another, violently surging forth as one

true human form be it vile

the aversive hostiles look on to me

resentment an ebb from thine eyes 



blessed be the womb that bore thee

in weeping and grieving may you long remain

blessed be the womb that bore thee

accursed spirits may your plights be in vain

shackled to the depths and the violence you crave 



[solo m. pugh]

[solo m. low]



city of dis, demise

we enter secure in our cause

barriers jut from the murk

the mire with red embers smolder

forming lit towers that scrape the sky

endless are fields with tombs ablaze

everlasting in eternal flame

heretics of heaven, blasphemers of god confined



all give out a low moaning wail 

crestfallen to the bed of thy flame



those who hath fallen from heaven await

the guardians of dis

deny entrance through the city

forewarns of death, to never leave from this fallen estate 



a thousand serpent furies defend at the gates

infernal demons refined

from flesh to mist with sword and fist

an effortless subsequent

storm of the city of dis



[solo j. schwallier]

[solo m. pugh]

 

the guardians stood in his way

every one of them stood to be slain

while crushing their bones into dust

those that remain will cower in vain

all of the guardians stood in his way

every one of them stood to be slain

the only true god a warrior trusts

stains on his blade the color of rust



the harbingers of death

chant for dying breath

the enraged and drowning sullen

soak in the remains 

of the guardians who've fallen

Thy Menacing Gaze





as if this all was for not

the journey, the knowledge, the objective sought 

seeking the power transforming by force

I've given myself to this savage onslaught



words cast aside as the violence emerges

weapons drawn from sheaths as vitality surges

a crown of serpents forces conflict 

accompanied by minions striking forth mortally quick

as black as night, my will to fight

all before me shall perish



a trio of beasts whose grisly heads I shall claim

the wicked must learn its place amongst the lame

decapitate to castrate, thy weapons removed

mortal flesh of mine, beasts wish to consume



ice like stares penetrates the air

beckoning gestures of rage

surrounded am I, long lost my fear

enemies drawn close as death strides near

keeping thyne resolve sharp as thy blade

not worn by my path I've not journeyed in vain 



as the relics of disaster ward off the assault

sculpted are the fallen, statues of stone

allow me this asylum as I strike through the bone



the venom of hate that flows

violently coursing through the veins

deadly grasp of claws unrelenting in pain

strengthened by courage, minions be slain

venomous vipers you shall know my name



thy menacing gaze shall be shattered by my blade

thy menacing gaze of lifeless remains



[solo m. low]



as if this all was for not

the journey, the knowledge, the objective sought 

seeking the power transforming by force

I've given myself to this savage onslaught



tearing eyes from shallow sockets

spewing guts of crimson, flowing like faucets

sword shines shimmering red

each gash I take removing thy head



pulse of stone

beheaded and cast down from thy throne

sterilized, discarded your tomb now my throne

pathways unguarded 

I am the victor as you grow cold

Malevolent Sanction





terra tribus annulos, 

primus, the river, a nile of coagulated encrusted shores

blisters boil from flesh to blood

beyond sight stretched the streams of gore

hideous spawn, nessus the damned, deemed to guide

head of an ox and body of man

punishment for the most heinous of crimes

reveal the path upon which we shall bride

through the forest of mors voluntaria



to live like gods with a tyrannous reign

to walk the earth enraged whilst delivering pain

murder finds justice in the fire of the brook

smolder in the blood of every life that you took



murderous executions, decimators of life 

perpetually captive to blood spilling innocents with spite

sodomized in the Phlegathon's malevolent sanction

forever the lungs of the butcher internally filled with flame

for great is the pain

searing of flesh with the smoldering breath

and the scorching of futile remains



apotheosize their extinction, glorifying their eternal death



secundum circulum, blackened and withering husks

protruding toxic thistles seeping of obsidian sap

as hisses turn to wails, destruction and suicide entails

soak in their sinful death



pass the final judgement they will remain 

no carnal resurrection here

their festering corpses on limbs of thorn will hang 

damnation beyond eternity they fear

roots sprout misfortune, nourish affliction, stretch thy skin

disfiguration at the crust thickets grow within 

growing ever stronger, self-hatred shall bloom

vines of self-loathing and bitterness resume



[solo m. pugh]



in the heart a heretic regret gives birth to cries

cynics of the holiest temples scorched on the sand supine

viscous flow the fires smelting sluggish in the sky

like branches choked by honey as it's seeping from the hive

consuming the flesh all but skeletons are left 



regeneration of their bodies will fill the belly of

carnivorous embers



sodomites sink in this barren earth

flakes of ash in a gust like a blizzard

suffocate the lungs of the usurer

storms of fire rage in oblivion 



[solo m. pugh]



decem regna malum, ten realms of the Malebolge we face

beware less thee be devoured 

vivid is the scythe brought by death to this place



to live like gods with a tyrannous reign

to walk the earth enraged whilst delivering pain

the bell tolls immensely in the fire by the brook

through the gates he must wander again

Smolder in the Ash





softened bodies lashed to the bone

bludgeoned blue and black 

and the nine-tails, as they walk endlessly

snatch the flesh off their back



sycophant fawners bathe, tirelessly astray

stewing forever in excrement and soils of man



Simonist, corrupt false men of the cloth

cast down face first into the rock below

lower extremities bursting ablaze

venomous and fraudulent malcontents 

strode across this wasteland



against their god they commit their crimes

through the thickets of sorrow 

past the sands of time

punishment must be dealt

for their sorcery, treachery and lies



for the riches and limitless wealth

built on the backs of swine

servants of the land in boiling tar 

to be scorched at his command



heavy are the cloaks of gold 

each thread sewn of lead

affliction for duplicitous words misled

no redemption for hypocrites 

forever march bound to their shrine

the pharisee's crucifix



striving to be human once more 

taste of the flesh and assimilate their form



[solo m. pugh]



deceivers of the world will serenade

their pillars of ash wail tongues of the flame

one with the fire, molten cage

smolder in the ash of eternity

shrilling screams befriend their agony

suffer for deceit never to receive empathy



[solo j. schwallier]

[solo m. low]



gaping wounds

softened tissue receive lacerations 

by a demon's sword

sowers of discord

laid waste by a demon's scorn



falsifiers draped in disease 

reside, plagued by the sins of their deeds

decaying with leprosy and boils on their flesh 

to decompose and fester at their behest

Behold The Bearer of Light





[solo m. low]

 

at last glistening light rains upon me

from a crevice in the cavern shines through the debris

on this day this odyssey concludes setting me free



[solo m. pugh]



the vast chasm holds the remains of a frozen lake

a usurper's dominion

bound waist down by frosted chains

the fallen angel's bane

through the eyes of the demon, I see myself

my bloodthirsty sword pointed forward  

thunder it seems

ripples atop the ice as Lucifer speaks



“come forth, my child

you hold the key to release me from this misery

strike me down and steal my crown 

taste my power's true majesty”



son of the dawn

the morning star

beelzebub, the wicked one

abaddon



[solo m. low]



indulged by a madness, betrothed to his death

with only himself to blame

as he approaches, their powers coalesce

awaken an ancient flame



“a congregation your presence bestowed

the blade thou hath unsheathed is part of me

as are you, my son, my seed, I profess”  



with the sword forged from the heart in his chest 

violently restored by the flesh born from his soul

the revenant rebirth



on contact, he saw himself lose his own life

through the eyes of the dark lord's sight

he could see the convergence

absorbed betwixt the union of the fight

now one and the same, bringers of the light

 

[solo m.pugh]



rejuvenation by freedom from my chains

a declaration I shall proclaim

storm all life on the earth

at will, reform the heavens



light bearer, the heavens mourn

light bearer, I am reborn

light bearer, I am reborn 

light bearer, the heavens mourn
