Manticore Lyrics
5 ContributorsManticore Lyrics"Write a story, Any story
But let it have dragons..."
O Gods of war
In the jungle corridor
I feel your haughty presence
Feasting the Manticore
She stalks the shadows, burning
The smoke is thick and reeks of blood
Her hunger an eternal yearning
Tantric, necromantic
A wank fantasy of faith
She religiously feeds
A feverous all man-eater
In the trees I see
Her eyes like slithering She Of Snakes
Monstrous this Chimera
In her beautiful anger
Screaming from the pulpit
Damnation's oratory
She is the whispering poisoned dart
And the breath of armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
Anthropophagous
Manticora
Press the silent violin of frisson over horror
In my forced hand
Sphinx will sing her song and coloured in lullabies
Death endorsed invades our lands
Gigantic, pyromantic
A beast of naked flame
Panting blackened masses
From her opulant Godhead
Ill-barred are those tongues
Spread wings eclipse her frame
And in her deep crevasses
Kundalini vents unfed
In darkness
Her fastness threshed with fleshing teeth
She comes to masticate you whole
She is the bane of mothers
Grand Leveller of Maa Kali's Mardi Gras
What man would damn the world to summon her?
Be still
Pray silence lest she stoops to conquer
The Perverse acid queen
Ten thousand pillars in her heart
Uphold a cracked palace of frozen killers
And the mirror in her soul
Polished black for scrying nightmares
Bubbles with a lust
That yearns to burn again
Razor backed, She attacks
Empire's battle cat
A creature of the white devil's rule
Mythical and mystical
Provinces will recall
The swarm of refugees from her pall
Mimicking victims
With a voice of the choicest deadpanned in pain
Awful claws hold rapport
With the skins of mankind
She is the whispering poisoned dart
And the breath of armageddon all around
The embodiment of evil in a body full of raptures
A lick of fire on her lips
As silent as a will o wisp
She comes amongst you all, tigressive
Blazing in her pride
Hellraising horrors from the dark-side...
Manticore
Nightmares of an Ether Drinker Lyrics
6 ContributorsNightmares of an Ether Drinker LyricsBursting with madness the moon shall derange
The ether caresses my veins
Cursing the feverous reign
I taste the change
Lips curl, my grip starts to harden
Malestroms are loosed in the garden
Angels will whisper bane
Hidden meanings in the teachings of pain
Time warps with their kiss bestowed again
Go go go tidal vertigo
Back is an arrogant front
Truth is a lie, suicidal eyes
Plummet from the summit of this pissed-up...
Nightmare
Hellucinations, bare mountain night
Walpurgis is thirsting for souls
My coven is sloven
For blood still muds the knolls
Visions soar phantasmagorical
Collidescopic, whetting the oracle
Fast awake to make this dreamland obey
Forsaking others for the chasing of prey
I take another draught, fates spirit me away
Go go go wicked vertigo
Intoxication is a fur
Worn about stitched arctic shoulders
It sets this melancholy beast to purr
Lost in bliss, the mooring slips
Hyde is high and mighty
In veneration of his role
Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre
I have left bereft the flesh
Sanctuary for the grail of woe
Now suddenly I see, I see, I see
Like innocent breath through a perfumed harem
A gash of lightning tearing ashen skies
Betray the scene
A deathless army, the greatest never been
Lurks frighteningly silent
Hanging on the fatal call for carnage
Come the awful sundering
The devilment is thundering
Fellow travellers tread careful
Hell awaits diethyl dreams
These lush pretense dimensions wean
Come the awful sundering
The devilment is thundering
Seeking ways back to our world
Eldritch curators scheme
Horrors rush upon us as we flee
I plunge on a comet, vomit the sea
Lunge upright to flames advancing on me
Dancing like Mardi Gras dark company
Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre
I am riding high tonight
In celebration of my role
Dreams amass
Nightmares are rising
Dreams amass
Unsympathising
Dreams a massacre
I will leave relieved my flesh
Sanctuary for the grail of woe
Death, the Great Adventure Lyrics
5 ContributorsDeath, the Great Adventure LyricsSometimes red curtains fall
Before the act has headed for the wings
As on that night disaster crawled out from the stalls...
Suddenly the dark, the thickest Stygian dark
Pressing on all sides with vertigo
Running from the quickest in the sickest abyss
My spirit's lifted by an angel of woe
A dredged up dreadful past
Drags discordant thoughts my way
Unforgiven and driven to despair
I sense the mordant wraith Azazel
Standing there
Now the vision simmers
I spy a distant gleam
Racing ever closer
Through this persistent dream
And by its welcome glimmer
Writhing into sight
The brutish groping nightmares
That hide beside the light
Then a roar
And a voice like a pride of lions
Thunders from the maw
In a blackened mass
The creatures flee
Screaming bloody murder as
A shining gateway opens for me
Death, the great adventure
At the peril of my soul
I welcome death, the great avenger
Spared this awful realm
Where those who stalk the living haunt the murk
Untethered pleasures keep them tied to flawed
Humana
I'm floating upward still, to where the tunnel mouth reveals
Two Manitcores that ward an ebon door
I muster that resolve, as the luminance dissolves
And I am thrust headlong before their venomous jaws
I am in darkness again
But here accursedness is vastly deeper
Unforgiven and given to torment
I am nothing
Grotesque, grotesque, bereft of judgment
This abyss, a voice
Where stripped of all but Self
One must wish to be destroyed
To pass on somewhere else
Beyond this pit of wicked shouts
Madness and fallacies
Aeons I failed to rail my doubts
Before fear left love saving me
Then a roar
And a voice like the clash of Titans
Thunders from the maw
In a seething mass
The horrors flee
Screaming bloody murder as
A shrouded sky opens immensely
Listen!
What Eden shall arise
Abundant from the cliffs that stunt Hell's repundant cries?
A view of breathtaking beauty
Unveils, as the sun disperses
Perversities
Death, the great adventure
For the glory of my soul
I welcome death, the great avenger
The damaged man revies
With dawning truth, this morning suits
The world I left abruptly
In exaltation, I find myself alive
Near-death to steer a life long-led corruptly
The sweet silver chord that keeps me moored
I know that heaven sent her
From the cold to hold her face again
I rose from death, the great adventure
