lyrics

This, my sanguinary rapture
Dragged to the sky to rain down as blood

The heart of Gaia is bedevilled
With a slow decay
Her porous flesh seeps
With a new strain of filth and dreg
A breed of vermin with a craving to eradicate
The subjugated without compunction

Blood and fire bathing the earth entire
Rape and murder; foundations of our empire
Burn it down

A yonic anointing
Of the sword to carve my name
Into the flesh of the myriad

Fascists, sophists, chauvinists
Traitors, beraters, grovellers
Centrists, skeptics
Advocates of devils?
See how they reward your service

Let heads of monarchs
Crown our parapets
Let tongues of sophists
Fall from arrogance aground

They’ll find you dead
Slumped in the cul-de-sac
Your severed head sat in your lap
With offal dripping
Out from your front
And lower back

I drag my blade
From trachea to glans
Perineum to splenius capitis
Flesh giveth way
As tides to the prophet’s hands
Let entrails rain from the precipice

Restoring balance
Through fleshcraft and bloodshed
Justice from stasis
Corruption to carnage

Defenestrate the carcasses
Excoriate the artifice
A splatter on the asphalt proclaimeth
“My work is done”

Special thanks to the gentleman who commissioned me to write lyrics for one of his songs, never paid me, sexually harrassed me, and ultimately made me angry enough to ensure that these words saw the light of day in some form just the same.
