Beyond the onyx sands
Fragmented memories of dread shape a world without boundaries
An intangible blight
Edging on a blasphemous infinity, blind to mortal grasp
Unhinging, unraveling the fabric of time
The cosmic arteries severed
Fingerprints in time erased as though once never there
All but dissolved in the thought of echoing memories
The abysmal cosmic convulsion reducing to perfect nothingness
An infinite crawling chaos swallowing the universe
The enigmatic impulse ripping sanity from mortal rib
Consciousness birthed from a foul womb
The pervasive anxiety strangles planetary systems
Before the inevitable collapse
The gaping mouth of extinction
Fading to obscurity
The rifts open and stabilize
Driving the strongest of will to madness
The orbital tremors disrupting the balance
The long anticipated collapse
Fingerprints in time erased as though once never there
All but dissolved in the thought of echoing memories
The abysmal cosmic convulsion reducing to perfect nothingness
An infinite crawling chaos swallowing the universe
The rotten face of humanity leering towards doom
The Obsidian King reigns
Oscillating damnation
Interdimensional slaughter

A shadow is cast, borne of ashen skies
The outcome of a dissipating world
Trapped in an inescapable paradigm
The unending cycle begins once more
A sequence of flawless design
Constitutional planetary harvest
The font now active
Dormant for a million years
Sown from the depths of the inconceivable
The ancient seeds make their way to the surface
Spores envelope the atmosphere
Infecting
Animation seizes, gestation slowly takes root of all remaining life
The involuntary foretaking of eldar blood through affliction
Spit forth from the void
A new breed is borne from a blasphemous resurrection
Apprehension slowly fades
A familiar haze engulfs the senses
Conception of a perfect single consciousness
Encapsulating a symphony of existence
Eldritch shadows roam the misty streets
Met with transfixed gazes of trepidation
Shifting through dimensions
The foretold antediluvian prophecy come to being
This planet now embraces the ancient strain
Cognizant minds minds scream in silence
Their harvested consciousness will fuel the next cycle
Singularity inevitable

Swarms of Change

Archaic remnants of the past at last revealed
The curtain of reality falls away
Giving way to horrors of the fifth dimension
Bleeding the planet of humanity's last vestige
The universe resonates bringing two worlds together
Preservation through blight
A world eclipsed by entropy
An overwhelming flood of decay
Purification through extinction
A sea of corpses lays the bed of chaos
The chastised remnants of humanity
Death walks upon the dust of the innocent
Devolve
New ground consecrated with the blood of innocence
Liberated from the cycle of life and death
Reanimating those fallen to a higher purpose
Proclamation of the Fallen
Bridging the gap between life and death
The ripples in time beckoning the birth of a new age
The blasphemous dance of the void
Covenant of the damned
Depraved celestial mind, Familiar shade of old
Malign father of decay, Prophet of extinction
Moulding the pulse of space-time
Shifting this planet into another plane of existence
Tearing flesh apart to form a mouth
Dark matter engulfing the maw of chaos

Pilgrims of the Deep

Primal knowledge of secrets all but forgotten
Shadows outside of time
Descendants of the abyss
Children spit forth from the midnight tide at the dawn of creation
Born deific and hateful beyond comprehension
With a single purpose
To sow life and reap it all the same
Formless, nefarious, all consuming
An inescapable abhorrent truth
Leaving chaos in their wake
Flourishing worlds left barren husks
An infinity of drifting graveyards without orbit
Testimonial monuments of the eldar ones
World after world
After world
After world
Consuming that which consumes
Binding to his will
To strike from the sands of time and give way unto an abomination
To unite those of the midnight tide
Devouring his way to sovereignty
A name inconceivable to the tongue of man
Inauguration of the profaned crown
Unholy covenant through osmosis
Known to those of the unhallowed ritual as the Obsidian King
Creation and extinction
The cosmological constant
That which is not living will eternally wander

The Rite
05:30

Bear witness
The prophetic rot comes to manifestation
Bodies of innocents tower in the streets
Mountains of decay - monuments to the ones of old
Fragments of earth hang in the atmosphere, this world at its end
Flashes of light flicker on the skyline illuminating the horrors of the cosmos
The formless one yawns once more
A crop sown now come to be reapt
The proverbial rite of sacrifice
A fate far worse than death
An army of wretched tear each other apart
Those who once feared, now embrace the contagion
Forced to wander the wasteland slaves to a primordial bloodlust
The will to destroy outweighing the will to live
An avalanche of destruction reaches its apex
Humankind on the precipice of extinction - this planet stifled with decay
Ripe for ingestion
The perpetual night draws to a close
The crawling chaos approaches
Culminating humanities tomb
The formless one yawns once more
A crop sown now come to be reapt
The proverbial rite of sacrifice
A fate far worse than death

Blasphemous saviour
Mouth of darkness
Burning skies illuminate that which should not be
Venturing forth from the abysmal plane
The god-eater spit forth from its cocoon
Awakening inherent purpose
Walking the stars passing forgotten worlds
In the blink of an eye countless planetary systems bled dry
Multidimensional omnipresence
All seeing
All knowing
All consuming
An unspeakable hunger satiated only by the blood of kin
Devourer of the eternal
The manifestation of divine coalescence
Cimmerian paradise
Host to those unspeakable evils and all those souls engulfed by wickedness
Consecrated flesh brings life anew
Making his to way the eye of the storm
A black silhouette stands on the horizon staring down the mouth of chaos
A reunion of darkness
A homeworld become an inevitable battlefield of the divine
The torrential flood of the midnight tide

Pterygoid Walk
03:32
|

Heavens divide
A wound in time splitting the fabric of reality
Tearing open the rift
Ebon hand of chaos come forth
Tendrils phase into existence
Fingers of a baleful god
Encompassing it’s repast
The lumbering pterygoid walk
Like the lock and key as old as time itself
An evangelical prophecy now comes to full fruition
Purify the bloodline
The colossal gateway deemed inconsequential
A scarce convenience at the expense of a world
Ancient messiah, stepping through the shadow of time
A silhouette of a man now taking the form of a grotesque god
An insatiable hunger for kindred flesh
The inevitable spilling of the tide
The intrinsic rite to the carrion throne
Bane of chaos
Intangible malignant intent manifest
Bring forth the deluge of strife

A new era beckons
The onyx sands of the abyss spill from the hour glass
And so falter the hands of time
Orbital trajectories come to a standstill
As a ghoulish shade of decay grips the unsuspecting universe
The abhorrent travesty manifests itself in the face of chaos
The putrid eidolon of unwholesome revelation
Monolith of desolation
Peering through the dawn of creation
Seeing past, present and future amalgamate into a single timeline
To engross the congenial soul and become whole again
To fulfil the prophecy
From the corrupted depths of a depraved mind
A glaring hunger floods forth from the abyss
Impeding the depraved ingestion ritual
The anointed King hellbent on reforming the universe anew
The aeonic gestalt come to an abate
Mouths form from the viscous ancient
Immaterial tendrils lash violently in the void
Planets collide in the wake of the celestial onslaught
Chaos strikes true the obsidian nightmare
A colossal gush of dark matter spills forth from the wound engulfing the planetary system
In absence of light and sound The Obsidian King embraces the lifeblood of his brethren
Engorged on the flesh of kin
The amalgamated abomination come to being
A blaspheming metempsychosis come to life
The inevitable conflict of the eternals ceased
The blackest apprehension becomes reality
Disembodied chattering of tongues echo ceaselessly
The souls of a thousand worlds transmigrated to a new host
|

The resonating discord of a cacophony of tongues echoes violently through the void
The wailing cries beckoning salvation
Craving true purpose
An evolutionary lie made truth
The timeline has become inconsequential
Consciousness become reborn
Embodying the son of gehenna
A conduit for the disassembly of the universe come to being
My being
I am the primordial truth
What once was, what is and what shall become
The anamnesis of perpetuality
Where thought and existence become one
In the shadow of the throne
An epileptic flood of memories engulfs my psyche
The amalgamation of a cosmos of souls
I have gazed upon the universe
And taken what is mine
The collective cohesive mind of a thousand worlds
I am awake
I am awake
An evolutionary lie made truth
The timeline has become inconsequential
Consciousness become reborn
Embodying the son of Gehenna
I am the primordial truth
What once was,what is and what shall become
The anamnesis of perpetuality
Where thought and existence become one
In the shadow of the throne
The ebb and flow of life pulses, in this clandestine union of death
The black genesis of creation, this grim horizon
Sanctitude in the gestalt of absolute unwholesomeness
