Absence in the talon

Obsidian

Beyond the mist it speaks

Retch of the Leper

Defamation

Black Creation’s travesty

Soothsayer cloaked in robes of ancients

“Ia Ia Sakkath” intones The Shroud

Wherein the third dimension dwells The Talon

To cast its vile scrape upon its mark

Perverse profanation leaves the soul to erosion

Tormenting diabolism, pestilential revulsion

Web of dark poison infiltrates the veins

Engorge with the ichor, rust the guise of sane

Hearken the arrival in dreams of undead

Scorch of damnation, the seal on your head

Cower at the sign – the omen – fear the mark

(Chorus)

Feel the scrape of the black twisted nail

Wherein the third dimensions dwells The Talon

Feel the scrape of the black twisted nail!

Hearken the arrival, consummate the flame

Branded with the sigil, blank eyes of death

Cower at the sign – the omen – fear the mark

(Repeat Chorus)

Engorge with the ichor

Web of dark poison

Retch of the leper

Defamation!
