Faustian Rites Lyrics


Shrines of Gaia neglected

Idols swarm the stage

I spawned the parasite

My ravens await the plague

Rapt by rapacity

Feeding on golden blood

Consuming devotion

Patience exhumed from my lungs

Restless depletion

Apex saprophage

Demeter dementing

Silvanus clenched in rage

Strangling the flame of Prometheus

Bacchanal of faustian rites

The glaciers’ bleeding delirium

Boreas’ pyrexial might

Terran leukocytes amassing

Tremble before the sublime

The dragon devouring the treasure

Enter the anthropophobic paradigm

A gift from the magma chambers

By deserts and beasts extolled

Churning guts of molten iron

Bellowing bile from below

Zephyrous storming malignant

Coal and contempt in the winds

The roar of concession ignites the sky

Too late to atone their sin

My flesh replenished by the fire regime

The blighted bewailing their fate

Qualis artifex pereo

The echoes of their ultimate scream
