DEHUMANATION LYRICS

1. Hallowed Black Divine

dust upon the altars
defloration thy wine
choke upon the loathsome
rotten depths inside
sickening inundations
impassioned wretching tides
taste the sweet repugnance
the hallowed black divine

hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine

a throbbing empty gash
where once the spirit dwelt
you sought to fill the emptiness
before the altar knelt
raise the axe of marduk
by mj?llnir smash the lies
crush the aten
flay your serpent
praise the god inside

hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine

wreckage and debris of countless vile wars
christians hang on crosses nailed up by the score
vultures feast on eyes and pull at swollen lips
maggots breed in festered wounds
opened by our whips

hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine
hallowed black divine

2. It Thirsts For Your Tears

self-immolation
black flames arise
birth, life, death, rebirth
endlessly we strive
twist ourselves up in
blood-encrusted gears
hungry, the machine
thirsting for our tears

hungry, the machine
thirsting for our tears
cold, impersonal
rapes the young of years
with a taste for grief
devouring your heart
savoring your pain
suffering is its art

raise the banner high
steel yourself to die
highest sacrifice
give your god your life
in times of war
raise the banner high
in times of war
prepare to die

3. A Suicide Sonnet

arteries wept for a blade
flesh with joy divides
nerves a'raised
endings frayed
as gasping breaths collide
misery groped for her twin
in burning darkness cried
next of kin
to sister sin
the bitch found only lies

elegant spray of carnal red
a splash of life's warm tide
gently spreads
a sickened threat
of hope that will not die
the kiss of steel tastes so sweet
bite down and close your eyes
splattered scene
of shredded meat
an expert suicide

[guest backing vocals: katy]

4. Rigor Mortis II: A Post-Mortal Pentameter

throat cut like flowers
sufferings manifold
gargling with blood
larnyx starts to mould

rupturing tableaux
all six feet below

no faceless horror
ripped your life away
knowledge of the end
lit your final days

gaping mouths of rot
clamor for your kiss
a fetid orgy
bursts upon your lips

symphonies of stench
decompose within
your lifeless carcass
a hellacious din

deafened in the pit
writhing in the crypt
rupturing tableaux
all six feet below

rigor mortis: clenched
in the throes of death
