Summon The Spawn

(album: Empire Of The Obscene - 2008)

Driven into the depths, I stumble
Infinite subterranean abyss
All reality now crumbles
Descending through... endless black pits

Pushing too far, I hungered for knowledge
Wanting oneness with entities numinous
Punished for my excess ambition
Tormented by evil spirits numerous
Tormented still I push on

Why did I seek this communion chthonic?
Desire defying foreboding for death
Septic specters are invading and spawning
A bane borne in blood that is sapping my health

Possessed by the spirits of the underworld
Descend into madness as chaos unfurls
Lust for powers of the ancients was my crime
Sentenced to eternal suffering for all time

Wanting too much, greed gets inside
Internalized sin, nowhere to hide
Internal nowhere to hide!

The horrors inside of me, haranguing, push on
Infection in my soul, all sanity is gone
Relentless summon the spawn

Why did I seek this communion chthonic?
Desire defying foreboding for death
Septic specters are invading and spawning
A bane borne in blood that is sapping my health

Possessed by the spirits of the underworld
Descend into madness as chaos unfurls
Lust for powers of the ancients was my crime
Sentenced to eternal suffering for all time

Pitch-black passage concluding
As the portal now approaches
Red glow stings long-closed eyes
As light tendrils growing stronger

Emerge in... immense cavern, where foul odors lurking loathsome
And flesh melts from my frame! Skin cells functioning no longer

Magma monstrosity looms before me
Surging serpentine stream of still living flesh
Occult curiosity will finally be satisfied
What does eternity feel like with no hope of death?

Compelled by my captors, I walk to the shore
And madly fling myself into the burning waves
Melted, fragmented, physicality splintered
Yet each scattered cell to immortality enslaved
