Fleshless 02:58
Disembodied, sallow, benumbed. Lined with ashen remnants of such lifeless figures. Entwined in an underworld of iniquity where I will become a prophet of disintegration. Poisoned epithelium, Hypodermic tissues now rot and recant. Their epidermic sources are deteriorating. A squalid sickened stench emerges as they drip away, Of what’s left sallow, benumbed. Their epidermic sources are deteriorating. Prophetic disintegration, A sterile domain without substance or body. True carnal emancipation, Sojourning on with the fleshless. Maggots form contusions as they push out of their eyes, A ruined docile world, soaked underneath blood red skies. A world of iniquity with nowhere left to thrive, A lethal biosphere with no one here, left alive! Pallid remains, lifeless. Disembodied, iniquitous essence. A world without substance or body, Ashen remnants, lifeless. Poisoned epithelium, Hypodermic tissues now rot and recant. Their epidermic sources are deteriorating. A squalid sickened stench emerges as they drip away, Of what’s left sallow, benumbed. Their epidermic sources are deteriorating. Prophetic disintegration, A sterile domain without substance or body. True carnal emancipation, Sojourning on with the fleshless. This is the tragic tale of the fleshless!

The drones swarm upon thee as my disciples are restored of life! Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition. “Revive me, free me,” Lambent form ruthless attrition, To kill them all is their ambition. Thine healing tomes melodious, reviving those who pledge their service. Resuscitate, save me! Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition. “Perish hopeless ground-feeder,” Bludgeoning and severing, the horde are cleansing for their leader. “Arise, kill the humans!” Boiling with anticipation to erase their coalition. “Perish! ground-feeder!” Lord Kantus, O’ Messiah, Sing your tomes and bless us with thine holiness! Melodic rapture, prophetic pariah, You’ve come to heal as you ridicule my lowliness! Singing her deific incantations, The Kantus becomes a god. She reigns over the impure and the faithful, From her palace above! Thine healing tomes melodious, She now composes a glorious arrangement. She reigns over the impure and the faithful, From her palace above! Bless them, messiah!

Legends of a beast so volatile, Its ferocious crimes on men, disgraceful. The Gears of Sera overwhelmed by the monkey-dog of pure destruction. Dark creatures take on lambent form, they spark of sweet imulsion. Their foul aroma hath sickened down on their bereft forbearance. A score and four before Emergence Day, Imulsion absorbed into the ground they lay. Ailing from its toxins everyday. Phosphorescent Wretch pandemic! A score and four before Emergence Day, Imulsion absorbed into the ground they lay. Us humans they will intoxicate. O’ dark and feral creature, wretched auditory screecher, Won’t you look upon the people that capitulate to your misfeature. Blinding eyes erupt into dismay as their lambent form begins to take place. Dark and feral creature, wretched auditory screecher, Foul, despicable demeanor for which humans call the mortal leecher. Holding a hand over an eye, they’re stripped from head to thigh! Versatile in movement, They crawl and cling on weakened foes, the coven spawn of the hollow. They’ve begun to tear open their heads to maul and feast until they’re dead, They torture over and over again. Wiry and hunched, yearning for the smell of human blood. Praying on the weak, concentrating on their feeble sheep. Rotten and perverse, humans hunted down to be coerced. Running through the street with a vicious crave for helpless meat. Slashing, gashing, bludgeoning their heads, They feast until they’re dead! They will not stop until every last human child’s bled. A score and four before Emergence Day, Imulsion absorbed into the ground they lay. Ailing from its toxins everyday. Phosphorescent Wretch pandemic! A score and four before Emergence Day, Imulsion absorbed into the ground they lay. Us humans they will intoxicate. O’ dark and feral creature, wretched auditory screecher, Won’t you look upon the people that capitulate to your misfeature. Blinding eyes erupt into dismay as their lambent form begins to take place. Dark and feral creature, wretched auditory screecher, Foul, despicable demeanor for which humans call the mortal leecher. Holding a hand over an eye, they’re stripped from head to thigh! O’ spawn of the hollow, let imulsion soak through to thine marrow! Locust assail Jacinto, Dark creatures taking on true lambent form. Luminous with sweet imulsion, The mass of Sera cowers unto Wretches’ swarm!

Winter 03:50
My one desire is to be alone, Disappointment, all I’ve ever known. A cynic vacuum of shortsightedness, Insulting those who have helped me grow. No offense of mine, atonable, For standard punishment is not enough. Thus, my time has come to disappear, Repressive winter is where I rebuff. Nyctophobic isolation, I cast myself into brutal winter. Ridding loved ones of my burden, A countervailing obligation! Thanatophobic self-sentence, Lost in this blizzard of repentance. My time has come to perish in consuming winter. Lifeless essence evermore, Limp and numb down to my core. My time has come to perish in consuming winter. Reproachful of my life, celebrate my death, brethren. I am disposed of. Lifeless evermore, numbed down to the core, cold postmortem. I am disposed of. Entombed in this frost, peeving existence is the only cost. I am disposed of. The time has begun for others to progress without me. No offense of mine, atonable, For standard punishment is not enough. Thus, my time has come to disappear, Repressive winter is where I rebuff. Thanatophobic self-sentence, Lost in this blizzard of repentance. My time has come to perish in consuming winter. Lifeless essence evermore, Limp and numb down to my core. My time has come to perish in consuming winter.

Thy name is Horde, for thee are many with vengeance. When man encountered these prophets they asked, “What is thine name?” Prophetic creatures of Nexus, omnipotent and gigantic. ”My name is Horde, for we are the Trinity of Worms!” When man encountered these prophets they asked, “What is thine name?” “My name is Horde, for we are the Trinity of Worms.” Burrowing beneath the surface of Sera, Gargantuan maggots create this dark era. Prophetic creatures of Nexus, omnipotent and gigantic. “My name is Horde, for we are the Trinity of Worms.” Burrowing beneath the surface of Sera! Nestling, eroding civilization, Splintering, ripping away its foundation. They will not rest until we are dust. Remarkable entities, serving their queen. Corroding the fabric of humanity, Dawning a desolate reality. In the ancient times of Sera, they tunnel deep into the ground, The wreckage of the human cities decomposed to fertile soil. According to the legends of the ancient holy locust scripture, The tillage of the worms and conurbations shaped the Hollows’ life. Burrowing beneath the surface, an ancient Riftworm laying dormant, The locust take advantage of its prehistoric permutations, devastating! The lone Riftworm left in the Hollow, Sinking cities to rid Jacinto. Antediluvian insects, now dictatorial architects, They gorge and crush to serve their noble Queen Myrrah! “My name is Horde, for we are the Trinity of Worms!” “My name is Horde!”
