OV DUST LYRICS

1. Final Act

I can recall our dark romance
across the floor you slowly danced
to the music I spied, you swayed
as wolves howled out their serenade
under stars with moon light bright
i swore to thee with sacrifice
a child of god, so pure and chaste
i keep you held in dark embrace

no more pawn, i can quell the suffering
i'll take you to the place of blood and light
to watch you beg, to feel you slip away
to be cold, empty, lifeless, blind

tasting venom from my tongue
nothing left but the vengeance
poisoned spit upon your lips
my final act of revenge

i've longed for thee, through night and day
spilled blood and watched dreams fade
felt the coldness of your breath
denied christ and swallowed death

for i am the dark, the one that you fear
i am chosen to hold your dead flesh near
stagnant your heart, rotting in my hands
beyond sorrow, razors understand

2. Eternal Return

Winter befalls Again

Mystery generations
Cloak the strains of slack water tides
Abating back the edge of time
To brumal seasons bore on nigh

Visionary
The Thirteen prime
The Forth is turning
Unraveling to High

Deciduous teeth fall away
Reveal the crisis of ten on three
Quaternal cycle cut to thirds
Refute the path of new rebirth

Visionary
The Thirteen prime
The Forth is turning
Unraveling to High

Arcane sages shunting the now
Twenty four from fourteen - fourteen to four
The stature of all ancient time
The eye, the face, the stance command
Nomadic vision see past to bear
Brazen resolve from brooding times
Rebellion earns true lucidity
The Eternal Return rears again

3. As The Crow Flies

As The Crow Flies
i will follow you
one rose for your grave
one last poisoned kiss
-- lost under earth -- a sullen grave

As the Crow flies
i long to meet you there
under pale moon light
over harsh winter snow
-- lost under stars -- under blood skies

she is the key
the light in which i seek
under veils of lament
her name i dare not speak
return to me --
i will be yours forever in death
i will follow you
i'll see you w/closed eyes
--w/ eyes sewn shut

i have died for you
one million times over again
you've pulled me down
your embrace drowns me
desire the pleasure of flesh
now i lust to be free
i have burned in your arms
and see you w/ closed eyes
-- w/eyes sewn shut

i am your effigy
just a pawn for you
give to me a virgins tear
upon your icy cold flesh
return to me
i will be yours forever in death
i will follow you
i'll see you w/ closed eyes
-- w/eyes sewn shut

4. Duality Of Light

bright life, grim truth
shattering
the memory lagging
bare the weight of the twisting lot
en virulent
rust
oh lucent dream
stolen from the clutches
as above and so below
shine
the duality of the light

fragmenting certainty now absent
descending toward the dusk decay
invocation of the brooding pathos indemnity
unfurl the flag and give chase

run like the burning dog still living
alive and stalking with no heartbeat, driven
no life
yet the blood still pulses
hidden in plain sight
red embers smolder in the pyre

ruuuun
with quicken stride
the vermin runs from one escape to run
escape and run
but its begun
it has begun

strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light
strike down with the thunder of light

black life, bright past
rebirth
with memory lasting
reconciled with a crimson fist
see through shadows and darkness
oh lucent dream
through the veil and wonder
risen up from below
shine
the duality of the night

5. King Rat; Affirmation Of The Ignoble

Shun The Heresiarch

Standing, upon his throne
Firm in confidence
King Rat: vile, ribald
Iconic state of defiance

Casting, aside the pawns
Dutifully line their ranks
King Rat: acrid, foul
Dispatch in fevered wake

Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn The Heretic

Venerate, fall to awe
Enfeeble coveted ends
King Rat: marked, scarred
Baring burden & wounds

Distressed, by ineptitude
Brim with angst, disdain
King Rat: heel, fiend
Disbar in abating shame

Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn The Heretic

kneel before
your paper god
Chide with bitter praise
bleed bleed
fall

Shun The Heresiarch

Hoisted, upon his throne
Ennoble czar of dischord
King Rat: iconoclast
Pillar of heretic arch

Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Burn Burn Burn The King Rat
Hail Hail Hail The King Rat
Hail Hail Hail The Heretic

kneel before
your paper god
Chide with bitter praise
bleed bleed
fall

6. LXVI: Matanza De Tiburón

Infidel sharks
Sleek beneath the surface
black eyes red
reflect pantheist vitality
renegade droves
prowl beneath the fathoms
Arise! Arise!
Breach against the shackles

Infidel sharks
black eyes red
Arise! Arise!
Breach against the shackles

stood upon the broken back of futility
gasping unto shallow truths
viscous scriptures securing firm
thwart the slipping into black

floating across endless spires
peering into unsounded gorges
white knuckles clutch the lancing bolts
lashed firm, quintessence of fear

striking out at the scourge
striking down into depths
striking out at the sharks
striking down drawing the blood

Awash in their impugned glory
the shark slaughter gives the lamb his brand

Infidel sharks
Round perdition's flames
Red eyes black
Embraced by their wicked nature
renegade droves
Ascend from barren fathoms
Arise! Arise!
Naught an angle to the iron way

7. Black Decay

Fractured mass, flecked grim fate host insurrection
Splintered glass, weep beads of life
Awake, yet eyes, eyes that blink cold
So cold, so cold - sight unknown

Enslaved, with life and truth fragmented, putrefied and betrayed
The fate, the war of swelling of the black decay
Falling into ruin

blackened tendrils wrap their crushing pulse around the throat
It speaks barren words with no voice
Corrupt, it speaks, it speaks of cold
So cold, so cold - sound unspoken

Enslaved, with life and truth fragmented, putrefied and betrayed
The fate, the war of swelling of the black decay
falling into ruin

From light seen looking now at forever night
The touch of dread, abscond thoughts
Trembling hands brace the cold
So cold, so cold - forever cold
--
-- The-Fate-The-War-Of-Black-De-cay

8. Dreams Turned Rancid

Grasp the end of fraying chords
The vile fester boils over

Undulating gnashing grind
Place beneath the sight of line

Rebuke the revolting strain
Normalcy of pre-set life

Back in the corner claws held bare
Exiled, banished - a blood wrought path

Dreams
Turned rancid
By the tarnished haze
Of blacking life

Unyielding sonic fury
Subversive anger rank abounds

Venom tongue forked with bile
Fuck the world at once reviled

Rebuke the revolting strain
Normalcy of die cast life

Stripped down, bones brought bare
Exiled, banished - a welcomed path

Dreams - Turned rancid
Tarnished, blinded haze
Blackened life
Stoke the flames of brazen strife

9. Dethroned Emperor
