Prophecy of the Sibyl
06:11
|
|||
|
Heed my words.
I speak of doom.
No one cares.
But, they will soon.
The prophecy is calling.
But, they won’t heed my warning.
The prophecy is dawning.
This shattered asteroid, spirals.
The prophecy, this warning.
These words will speak, extinction.
The prophecy of horrors.
Though you will never listen.
I am the sibyl.
To the crowd, the maiden chants.
You treat my words as riddles.
But, the prophecy will last.
Within the longest hour.
Yonder, flies a horde of asteroid.
Wise tongue, enticing scares.
Come closer, from the dark void.
Today, closely godless.
Soon, rain down upon the sphere.
I am the one, the goddess.
This prognosis, I bear.
Feigned act of courage, lacking.
Mock me, life is not fair.
Listen to my words, laughing.
The prophecy is here.
The prophecy is calling.
But, they won’t heed my warning.
The prophecy is dawning.
This shattered asteroid, spirals.
The prophecy, this warning.
These words will speak, extinction.
The prophecy of horrors.
Though you will never listen.
Proclaiming, message again.
Best keep watch, tonight.
Across the cosmos, arcane.
Forbidden asteroid flies.
Preach of a broken new reign.
All hail a brand new king.
One who will bring to us feign.
But it’s not what you think.
The prophecy is calling.
But, they won’t heed my warning.
The prophecy is dawning.
This shattered asteroid, spirals.
The prophecy, this warning.
These words will speak, extinction.
The prophecy of horrors.
Though you will never listen.
Now, I will take my exit.
A final call for safety.
Await in hidden shadows.
Before long, breeding carnage.
The asteroid is coming.
And I have given warning.
You shall receive succumbing.
Listen or face this wrath.

Astral Swarm
06:28
|
|||
|
From the cosmic void, flies a horde of asteroid.
In the creatures hive, the swarm will rise.
Within the aether earth, a celestial body.
Voyager of life, harbinger of new death.
Across the cosmos, bound for disaster.
This growing plague, the latest caster.
Hurdle towards the gate, and come down, crashing.
The Ethereal Plain grants a new player.
Cosmic waves, crumbled facade.
Lunar rocks assault the skies.
Fire screams, innocent eyes.
From our cage, we see the world die.
Aeons end, one day away.
Stars alive, souls divide.
Hurdle towards unknown sights.
Written fate, none survive.
Ash sprinkled over the sky.
Follow a trail of stars.
Grey asteroid cold and dry.
This cosmic graveyard awaits.
Circle ‘round again and again.
Wait for the perfect time.
Our unsuspected mundane.
We know not their harsh departure.
Witness the show of ages.
Though, pray it never happens.
Your final breathe, a message.
Leading the land of serpents.
Wait for the fractured asteroid.
That brings a soothing demise.
This new plague has plastered.
Wistful voices in ashes.
Strange monoliths in the sky.
Eggs hatching side-by-side.
The serpent’s slithering guise.
Green slime coating this life.
Spiral towards abyss.
Cold planet smashed with debris.
Smothered, blanket in dust.
Clouds of acidity.
Green eyes sharp and awake.
Stalking a worthy prey.
Slither, enrobe and take.
Our precious lives away.
Dissolve under our tears.
The end of days is near.
Stare up and gaze ahead.
Witness this sacred dread.
Follow me and walk to the end.
This is where I take my chance.
Prepare your final breath.
Come slip into extinction.
From the cosmic void, flies a horde of asteroid.
In the creatures hive, the swarm will rise.
Within the aether earth, a celestial body.
Voyager of life, harbinger of new death.
Across the cosmos, bound for disaster.
This growing plague, the latest caster.
Our final chance, one last factor.
Pull up a seat for the final chapter.

Maiden of the Fog
07:43
|
|||
|
As she chants into the night.
We cower, and we hide.
Her anecdote, shot down.
False stories, now profound.
Creeping through the shadow’s haze.
Rising up with cold, green eyes.
We should have taken advice.
She wins and we pay the price.
See the sorceress come to life.
Breathing in, the zenith rise.
Levitating, through the clouds.
Night has curtained, under boughs.
Serpents ascend through the foggy ice.
Crystallizing their hunting delights.
Scattered fragments, spread around.
Creating new breeding grounds.
This is where we go, taking shelter in silence.
The maiden glows, watching us fall apart.
After the asteroid, has come and altered our bias.
She cautioned us, her story from the start.
We gather, the final piece sets the stage.
We ponder, what will come of this day?
It landed, the asteroid has claimed this space.
My warning, is gone and been brushed away.
The snakes have come here for their harvest.
The asteroid cracks and the serpents release.
Come flocking, writing our epilogue.
Narration, as she walks into the rising fog.
This is where we go, taking shelter in silence.
(The Maiden, The Maiden).
The maiden glows, watching us fall apart.
(The Maiden, Warned us from the start).
After the asteroid, has come and altered our bias.
(The Maiden, The Maiden).
She cautioned us, her story from the start.
(The Maiden, Watches us fall apart).
The maiden, watches from the fog.
(The Maiden, The Maiden).
She admonished, giving her monologue.
(The Maiden, Warned us from the start).
The maiden, warned us from the start.
(The Maiden, The Maiden).
Observations, our fate was prolonged.
(The Maiden, Witnessing extinction).

Serpent City
04:27
|
|||
|
Run into the maddening night.
Expectations, not so high.
Every day brings a new crisis.
As we are rendered lifeless.
Demolition, viper’s pleasure.
Out here, in the vile desert.
With our heads in holy ground.
Our ways are strictly foul.
Insanity is our one leader.
If you wanna ride.
We live as the cold dust-eaters.
Be ready to die.
Sharp tongued creatures, this town’s feature.
Slither out here, just to meet you.
Deep in the desert, serpents rising.
Here you are, there is no hiding.
As we leave this forsaken land.
The next wander in.
Come and join the dead serpent clan.
If you crave some sin.
Loathing is the only pleasure.
As we take a shot of venom.
Time here, well, we can not measure.
Blend in with the damned.
