ARKHUM LYRICS

1. Appellation

Somewhere in Coma Berenices/ Formulas append themselves to fractured theory/
Algid like intellect/ And persistently intractable/ Swirling in ancient
silence, phrases dart throughout/ The interstellar medium/ A vingintillion
syllables/ Cascade as incantations/ The ebullient clouds of godforms/
Puncturing reality, puncturing existence/ Cortices bend and warp/ Under immense
strain/ Proteins for inchoate larvae, extruded like feces.

2. Grief Urchin

His steps are dogged by blight/ Fearful eyes sinking into sockets/ Limbs
disjointed, hollowed bone/ Sewage drips from his fingertips/ Boulevards buckle
under the weight/ Of austere yet cosmic indifference/ Men and gods alike will
know insolence and petulance/ Horizons loom, ominous and vast/ His gaze is
hounded by doom/ And all therein will feel the swoon/ No decay without dismay,
no vocals chords to helplessly bray.

3. Obviated Geocentrism

Vaccinated with vengeance/ In varying stages of decrepitude/ Ruthlessly
shearing herd after human herd/ Through the membrane of the umbilicus/ Past the
illusion of maleficium/ I deny/ I object/ I repulse/ I repudiate/ I recant/ I
divulge/ I expose/ I, the ultra-luminous/ With the antigen of cognizance I
tempt these monastic slugs/ Their guilt reaches far, seeps low and clings deep/
And still it cleaves the reason from my thought/ I deny/ I object/ I repulse/ I
repudiate/ I recant/ I divulge/ I expose/ I, the ultra-luminous.

4. Obsolescent Husk

Reconstructing this genome/ Malleable, culpable still/ Reduced to cursory bits
of data/ I am blinking wryly with the iris of lore/ Detached from mine
motherground/ Soul breached as penalty for sentience/ Encapsulated, nay
insulated!/ Soaking the atoms with pain/ Mine heart encased in meteor/ Mine
discontent a distant solar flare/ Synthetic slumber o'er myriad eons in thine
revolving orb/ Mine pallbearers the stars themselves/ Sever/ Reconstituting
their physiology/ Perplexing astral drift/ The exointelligence will not
acquiesce/ Spewing and spurting malaise through my rendition/ Of the homo
automaton/ Spewing and spurting/ Detaching then hatching.

5. Bloodgutter Encircling

Ebon horns herald the onset/ Of the third age of despair/ Eldritch forms scorch
mountainsides/ With their dread stellar hooves/ The firmament shudders with all
the madness/ Of extrasolar conquest/ Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!/ I can't see/
Through this fever dream/ I can see/ Through this fever dream.

6. Officious Hoverer At L-Point 2

[Instrumental]

7. Nilpulse

I hate you with all the fire/ Of nine thousand throbbing suns/ I loathe you
with all the fury/ Of the vast, dense, dark expanse of space/ I rain shards of
moons upon you/ Terran platitudes drowned out in hail of plasma, acid, bile and
graphite/ These are the cold months/ These are the solstices/ Swelling with
godlessness/ Tendrils encircle the globe/ Tendrils encircle the globe/ Lacerate
the astroamniotic sac/ Leaking matter and immiscibles through the spiritual
margins of existence/ Behold: swarms of microorganisms/ Cybernetic
microorganisms descend/ In tandem with tentacle/ In tandem with tentacles/
Ethereal maws a million in number/ Gnaw portals and cavities in distant planes
of chaos/ Mothers breastfeed apostate embryos/ And goodwill is engulfed by
delusion.

8. Expendable Biomass

The skies bulge/ Swelling, peeling/ As discs blot out all light/ Momentum is
halted/ Armaments pivot and hurl their projectiles in the direction of life/
Celestials swarm over vast distances/ Trails of mucus mark paths through the
devastation/ Drape the shawl of anxiety/ Across the whole of pitiful Gaia/
Envelope this sputtering biosphere/ And immunize the boulder with ancient
genetic toxins/ Flesh upon scythe into tissue (repeat)/ Fire upon blade and
into flesh/ Suffuse this glorified asteroid with lunacy/ Oceans of fluid drip
from the sky/ The lubricant of unseen vessels/ Hidden behind banks of grey
exhaust/ Humming, shuddering cloud shapes/ Warped by the reentry of said ships/
Landmasses liquefy in wave after wave of unforgiving heat.
