Darkness Prevails
05:18
|

Optimists and philosophers
Have flawed points
Projecting hopeful outcomes
In an absurd mania
Like an infection of the mind
A failure to see
The never-ending prison of our lives
Its lack of all reason
An absence of peace
That never changes
A war with no cause
That never subsides
Sit in it
Rot
It’s going to be fine
There’s always a graveyard
And you’re headed there
The resting place
Of your warped views
See how far they went
Six feet, straight down
Into the darkness
That prevails

Plea to Nine Winged Gods
04:36
|

O Winged Ones, Summoners of Destruction
Those of feathered limb and serpent’s tails
Your eyes like ours do see beyond
Coiled tongues lick women’s skin
Our infernal chanting, we beseech
Bring chaos and strangulation
Autophagous androsphinx
Watch the gates of our kingdom
We offer earthly flesh
Your perch at Pandemonium
Is our common realm
We supplicants surrender it
Return to ask a new riddle

Devilish Incantations
05:48
|
|||
Tricked and convicted
The crime is faith
In a deceiver called Jesus
The lies are eternal, forcing me in
But I have a diabolical escape
From the absentee Lord
Who I spit on
In my dreams
Who I whip
He let me suffer, I let him bleed
Drawing blood with incantations
A forked tongue is the way
To his pain
A quick cut when I recite
Like a knife in him that twists
Conjuring the spirit of truth
Calling it, I can see it
A rabid demon with talons
They fancy his throat
The one that tells lies
It’s the blood I spill every night
Like a mangled cage
The cackle, dark prayers
Freeing my mind
Slaughtering his son
In the darkness

Standing near the altar
In the Liar’s temple, the Deceiver’s home
Monument to the bastard christ
I feel spite
Centuries of hate inside
Brought on from evil seeds
Growing in my soul
I see a face, a demon’s face
It’s my reflection
I reject the holy and pure
Repugnance blossoms
I shun this place, this no-good slum
This is not his realm
|

It’s a snake with many heads
Tendrils winding
Lies that hiss through curved fangs
On a stone cold medusa
Promising things they can’t give
Teaching you to lay down and die
And not to question
Come this way
Until you fall in the pit
That takes long years to surmount
While thieves and backstabbers feast
On what you built
And someday it will be fixed
By an old man in the sky
But he’ll have to try it
With a knife in the heart
With an ax in the head
Ripping apart serpents
Out at the roots
It’s not a reptile
It’s Christ laying there
Like he can, like he should
Fragmented and abandoned
|

They are a reflection of us
Dark and limited
A shadow we can never escape
Their clawed hands, born from us
Seizing, pillaging what’s pure
And everywhere we go, they exist
Like birds of prey
To see them just look in the mirror
They rape your planet
And ravage your soul
Twisted primates that reject sanity
Shredding decency while they feast
On blood and on hearts
Tearing with fangs and lust
And selfish hunger
Never to be quenched
They’re the vomit of our minds
As we twist in space
Fueling our own punishment
The worst enemy is you
Destroying, never building
And leaving yourself trapped
It happens every day
As we sink in mud
That we created

Immortal Rotting New York, New York
Immortal Rotting seeks to be evil. Formed with reverence for foreboding death metal masters like Incantation, Coffins, and
Incrust, Immortal Rotting flies the standard of evil in metal, an art often forgotten in a musical landscape of grind and brutality.
