Hermetic Invocations

City of serpentine construct Streets swollen with shambling dead Black archons looming on high Masquerade of decay A cathedral, thousand spired Come unto the long shore Breathe deep Consume thy exigent flame Boneless maw enveloping whole Row on row of pitiable husks What dim light lingered then In their eyes fades at last The archons swell with lust Their hunger growing evermore A thousand souls devoured Yet wholly unsatiated The masquerade endures A neverending host, damned Salivating for their servitude Black Archons looming on high Streets emptied and still The bile and rot on the tiles Last proof of final compact

In the ancient times The witch’s essence concentrated Out of chaos swept The child was born Mothered into life Come, fair lady Set us all on fire now Let the night catalyze The end of light as we know It is fate yes it is Fell upon knees we will look above Bow to the flame since we could not love That which once had given us peace No point fleeing Out of flame was thy Daughter’s soul taken Into the cold How she writhed in pain Forlorn and resentful The witch’s power cast In the shadow of the chaos flame What’s left after her wrath incinerates you (what’s left) But ash Smoldering stain upon the earth She would not stop, no Let it out A centralized explosion Arcing out through the clouds Across the vast expanses Flame rained down A reckoning has come to bear The end of life upon the world The homes of families burning The wrath of armies came from her

Beneath the stagnant earth rotting away Bound by endless darkness Shrouded in fetid decay A stirring pulse coursing through shriveled veins Below the curtain of night A spark of light igniting A gasp of breath escapes Exhale the stench of life again Possessed by fervent madness Cracked open splintered casket clawing through the earth in vain Crawl among the filth that plagues this mortal plane These twisted limbs convulsing Outstretched to snuff the flame inside Purveyor of this world’s demise Contorted form of flesh and bone Cold skin like ashen stone Abhorrent mass of festering spite The jaws of death now open wide Even the sanctified ground can’t contain The dead and the living are they not the same Slow putrefaction destined for the grave Revulsion inciting This yearning everlasting To bring them all to their weakened knees To cleanse this world of inhumanity In contempt of their wasted lives Obsession surmounting Through the sodden depths of murk I rise Drag them down to the deepest black With gaping maw engulfing Shut the lid and scribe their epitaph These twisted limbs convulsing Outstretched to snuff the flame inside Purveyor of this world’s demise

As waning light escapes the setting sun The nerves collapse in trepidation The weakened spirit comes undone The moonlit shadows are drawing near Imbued by spectral darkness Heart racing paralyzed in fear Abysmal apparition Lurking malice reappears Between the waking and the dream Thy horror reckoning Looming in silence waits for thee Pervades subconsciously Nocturnal torment unforeseen Night terror majesty To seek peace in the quiet calm embrace of sleep Haunted by the presence of unwelcome company Infesting the sickness within me Malignant spell of twilight lunacy In fevered panic beg for mercy With frozen limbs in cold sweat dripping These ghastly fingers caressing me Grasping in anger violently The walls are breathing Premonitions of the end unfolding With every prayer unanswered, nightmare manifesting Between the waking and the dream Thy horror reckoning Looming in silence waits for thee Umbral supremacy Nocturnal torment unforeseen Night terror majesty

The silent dawn Foreboding visions to come An eerie stillness from above Slowly ascends The faint glimmer of light, to preface the end Impending shroud of night Condemned, succumb to the dark again Swiftly expanding, consuming the sky The bringer of life, predestined to die Expulsions of plasma increasing in size Engulfing the system in which it presides At the behest of our cries We beckon the giant from heavens on high Our prayers for extinction resounding sustain A blazing inferno to fume in its wake It’s coming down Diverging the clouds Descend through the stratus in fiery scorn Humanity’s judgment is sentenced to burn Inversion of genesis now on display Triumphant combustion envelopes the bodies as flesh melts away To dust we reside Dissolved into ashes as stars unalign Suspended in time Creation unwinding This cosmic unbinding Embracing the death of the sun It's coming down Perdition unbound Cremation igniting Tempestuous storm Humanity’s judgment is sentenced to burn To dust we reside Dissolved into ashes as stars unalign Suspended in time Colossus erupting Invoking this planet’s demise At the behest of our cries We beckon the giant from heavens on high Our prayers for extinction resounding sustain This funeral pyre bestowed in its wake The death of the sun
