Visages of the Unspeakable

I keep it hidden - a monstrous derelict I keep it fed with those most unfortunate It lets me live, murderous denizen It makes me kill women and children The frightened eyes of sons and daughters, Mothers and wives and sisters to slaughter I kidnap the living from cities and towns Luring the innocent when no one's around I have never seen it Shunned to the shadows I must only feed it Shunned to the shadows Leviathan of sorrowful death Through backroads over dark hills The frightened eyes and tears Muffled gags and roped taught The crying and pleading Soon dying and bleeding Human cargo for the feeding I have never seen it Shunned to the shadows I must only feed it Shunned to the shadows Leviathan of sorrowful death Shunned to the shadows Leviathan of sorrowful death Leviathan of sorrowful death Shunned to the shadows Leviathan

These halls cracked and decayed The darkness writing Those murdered once swayed But I can still hear them The whispers of the hanged These walls splintered and bleeding A stench of saliva it flows To drown out my sanity For I can still hear them The whispers of the hanged Creaking with sorrows Their unfilled tomorrows Shattered so many decades ago Hung up in my mind My sanity unwinds A cacophonous din of the damned For they will take me Their shadows cast From where bodies are none Spectres slowly sway And I can still see them The shadows of the hanged Their twisted tortured faces In the mirror Their haunted eyes bulge Above swollen tongues The hiss of their last breath Is the stench of how I am to die For they will take me

This shadowed mansion it's hallways span the ages The tapestries woven with the blood of time All that was has never been I wander through what will never be Cast in darkness so little light is allowed Only that which shows me those I'd rather not see The depths of madness at the maw of a Leviathan Fathoms unto forever The stillness screams my madness And echoes across the silence The windows are bathed in the moon of fear Still shining far below the ground In this chamber of non-existence I am extinct and eternal So little insight is allowed Only what shows me things I'd rather not remember The depths of madness at the maw of a Leviathan Fathoms unto forever Towering spires light years deep No end to the space inside this keep Forever in darkness and casting a shadow On cold walls that whisper my existence Echoing sound of my entrapment I am free to remain in nothingness The dusty moans from the throats Of the ones who never show their faces For centuries I have descended these stairs Only to find new caverns of madness In which I do not exist but yet I will in forever be The depths of madness at the maw of a Leviathan Fathoms unto forever

A horror untold And nameless through centuries Spoken in tongues Dipped red in its blasphemy Lava streams hatred Dripping cold from its eyes All seeing denizen Staring towards my demise Dagger clawed chaos - for me it will come Dagger clawed chaos - lest we prayed Emblazoned aggression Inscribed in fould flesh Unliving unbreathing Purveyor of human death The scent of my blood Curdled my veins in horror Useless to hide My flesh my soul to be devoured Dagger clawed chaos - for me it will come Dagger clawed chaos - lest we prayed Sacrosanct evil Shadowed through aeons A hunger for A world to prey on I've read all the text My cursed excavation Desecrated the runes Await my extermination Dagger clawed chaos - for me it will come Dagger clawed chaos - lest we prayed

Down in the basement is where she was killed in 1852 miss Blossom Kurdell The ones that she'd born all were taken from her now rumoured a spirit still bearing this curse Her house up for sale for so many long years you bought it so cheap and without any fears Your family: your wife and your daughter and son will soon meet their fate as warnings some shunned A shape in the cellar amongst all the stores and cries in the darkness alone and indoors A movement in shadows at the edge of the room - a fleeting sensation that death will come soon A dark apparition stands there in your mirror - a pale fingered hand from behind coming nearer A murderous shadow beside you in slumber grips your wife's heart as she wakens from thunder Bleed for her Crawling across the edge of the gable - she seeks to reclaim for herself what was lost Your children is what she will take when she's able once you have suffered the ultimate cost Bloodkurdle - lady be damned Cradles your children in cold blooded hands Bloodkurdle - lady be damned Bloodkurdle - bleed for her Her eyes shine in rapturous pleasure her bare breasts hypnotic with lust You will not realize she has fooled you until you've realized what you've lost Seducer of fathers and killer of wives helping herself to the souls of young lives Bleed for her Her teeth gleaming bright from the glow of the night light A shadow is cast on the walls from her claws shrieking and screaming from inside the kids' room You run down the hall to find your children gone Bloodkurdle - lady be damned Steals away your children with cold blooded hands Bloodkurdle - lady be damned Bloodkurdle - bleed for her

Kidnapped corpses headless And naked in this hollow tomb The bodies splayed and ripened Adorn the sacred runes Their torsos sliced down open Like wombs without a seed Soon to birth most evil spore With chants and ritual deeds The heads in a row on the altar The oils and spices prepared My texts and inscriptions are spoken The candles and flames light the air I stitch up the lids and the mouths Then lock up the jaws with a skewer Around each head a cloth is wrapped Blood soaked with spices so pure Thirteen heads - severed and blessed Women and men - severed and blessed Anointing the bodies with incense These fecund vessels so still The last stage is now almost ready Their putrid gut holes soon be filled Placing each head in a position Each corpse with its egg like a nest Closing up all the incisions Thirteen heads severed and blessed Thirteen heads - severed and blessed Women and men - severed and blessed Putrid germination murderous gestation Eating its host from the inside Nutritious fermentation furtile putrefaction Eating its way to the outside Rudiment digestion blasphemous inception Eating their way from the inside Hideous parturition wile ingestation Eating their way to the outside Thirteen heads - severed and blessed Women and men - severed and blessed Severed and blessed

In dirt we lay our festered flesh To earthen prey hollowed dead A cursed grave oozing froth Our mucus breath slither and crawl The worms ingest guts, pus and blood No eyes - infested Insides - ingested No brain, no organs The worms - engorging Feel them coiling up inside Squirming, churning Blasphemous putricide Riddled with worms A putrid stench an earthen swarm Gut wrenched slimy pores Ooze, mud and phlegm claw through dirt To rise once more a festered birth Writhing in horror Riddled with worms Walking corpses infested With thousands of squirming brethren Vomited them on our hapless victims Screaming pain as you're digested

Cavernous lair miles underground No insects, no light, no life can be found By torchlight and lantern we gaze the discovery Temples of bones entombed by the centuries Altars of skulls bemoan their antiquity Scrolls scribed from flesh unspoken obscenity Mummified bodies in walls look like sculpture Now moaning awoken enraged in this sepulchre Now up from the floor drifts a fog Our lanterns and torches blow out Strangled in a darkness now all that we see Are the glimmеring eyes of "The Onеs" Gripped with horror so intense A sensation of falling, can't breathe "The Ones" getting louder their hate in our ears A rumbling roar from beneath The denizens wrath now upon us As we strangle and bludgeon each other Murdering friends in blind senseless panic Those killed now come after the living Chaos unfolds all around us All we can hear are the screams All we can see are the glowing red eyes Of "The Ones" as we fall to our knees Finding our place among the statues Silently standing in prayer Destined to consciously wait out the eons Entombed in this earthen stone lair The caverns are once again breathing The harmony once again silent Only to sleep till the next age arrives A legion of gods in asylum
