Resting on Tombs
Doom rules the news again,
misery on demand
Jaded eyes consume suffering
and devastation served first-hand
Victims of disparity,
bound to take the fall
Are reaching out despairingly
and meet indifference after all
Haggard is the flesh
Weary are the bones
Racing is the mind
Fear engulfs the soul
Left to their downfall, alone
By our grace lives stall and come undone
Man forges his own destiny,
the prosperous few assume
Complacency and disregard
ignore that privilege is resting on tombs
Wither must all flesh
Crumble will all bones
Deteriorate the mind
Fade away the soul
Rue the wounds unmended,
the hopes abandoned,
the chances ended
There desperately
is a need for changes,
yet remedy seems out of reach
We barely challenge
what we have done,
what we’ve become,
what could’ve been
So come the time
for us to cease
from a world we degrade
Welcome the hour of equalization,
when all shall wilt away
One by one we’ll fall, bar none
In the end we all will come undone
In the end we all must come undone

Sermon of Scorn
Sacra Scripturae veritatem continent
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus
Born of ignorance
Nourished by fear
Grown into pestilent sway
Tyrant of man
I curse thee, Leviathan
Advancement denier
Revoke all faith in thy doctrines
Choose apostasy
Memento, vermis, quia es ex pulvere
et in pulverem reverteris
Pay for your transgressions to gain absolution
or suffer eternal torment in hell
By cant people abide,
facilitate the great divide
Relinquite religionem
et faciem mundi vel peribit

To Walk Among Ghosts
Once more drifting through the corners
of a foreign, temporary home
Trying to pierce the obscure chambers
in which fleeting phantoms roam
Oh what is the cost
for guiding them to rest
without joining their way
In their sorrow lost,
fight to keep distance
Captured by their tales, their pains
Spectres of harm past
you can no longer hide from
Though buried and repressed,
they return and take their toll
Haunting compulsions
you can hardly refrain from
Maintain your composure
when the witching hour comes
To converse with unrelenting demons
is to face helplessness, fainting reason
A consciousness fragmented,
in perpetual dispute with itself
Voices twisting every thought
A forced coexistence abhorred
Oh what is the cost
of helping at the best
where sanity is frayed, betrayed
Walk with them
towards a vague end

The Everblazing Picture
Galleries
of monstrous paintings
Vivid, yet silent, calm within...
Within
Monochromatic
These colors all merge
Swirling in turmoil
A terrible tinge
Lines on the canvas
becoming all blurred
Fading to fragments,
to memories unheard
I wander the hallways,
the maze of pictures
With eyes sewn shut,
but I still hear them whisper
Perspective corrupted,
with angles all torn
Osseous frames
adorning the nightmare
Banished to stand
Motionless
Forever engraved
Forever behind
Monochromatic
These colors all merge
Swirling in turmoil
A terrible tinge
Lines on the canvas
becoming all blurred
Fading to fragments,
to memories unheard
One last picture
remains to be seen
A piece of art
not of this world
Stand ablaze (Burn my eyes)
Engulfed in flames (Sear my soul)
Stand ablaze (The canvas is blazing)
Forever to cauterize (Forever to scorch my mind)
Set aflame
Forever to burn in me

The Desolate Throne
Deeper down into the unknown
abysmal womb of this world
Barren landscapes painted in
shades of apathy, ghostly I roam
Lay my eyes upon a lifeless, ashen sky,
my feet on fruitless bottom
Listen to the toneless lament in the air,
shrouding way and path in sorrow
Further down, towards the core,
the blackened heart of this domain
No sentience left inside
Mere emptiness abides by a weary soul
Wearing on with limbs so numb
Leaden thoughts dull my volition
Yet a distant sense of purpose lingers on
Feels as if I do belong
With every step the obscurity fades
I glimpse my own dreadful creation
I head on, ascend the desolate throne
This monument built to my blame
can no more be denied
This burden’s mine by right, thus I shall reign
Lo, this realm belongs to me
Behold its molded misery
Kneel, Lord Nihil orders thee
All hail to his majesty

Something Cruel Within

Something Cruel Within
Like insects in a storm
Doom be upon them
They shall suffer so well-deserved
Let me revel in their screams
With reluctance,
with a sigh upon my lips
I join the choir of scorn
Smothered in obsessive
hatred and loathing
for ourselves
As we suffer,
we converge in our tears
We are one in our scars
United in decay of man
Stabbing each other
with our fear
Their voices are evoking
something in me, something cruel
And I sense
their pain is all like mine
Mirrored minds, shattered, torn
Sentient beings
in our tragedies entwined
Yet still I…
Long for their downfall
Writhing in agony
Crave for extinction
For the purge
That fire
burns my soul,
chars my thoughts,
sears all of me
That fire,
the flame of hate,
can not be quenched
It is our destiny

A Giant Bound to Fall
by ETERNAL STORM
supported by 14 fans who also own “Lithic”
This album is a huge step up from their previous one, which is saying a lot because that one was really good. I fully believe that, with this release, Eternal Storm stands on the same level as the bands they're clearly inspired by.

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE
supported by 12 fans who also own “Lithic”
An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.
