From a Decade of Permafrost
Hoarfrost winds upon weathered crowns My isolated form reborn to disintegrate A pathos for yore Longing for fire Self ascending flame Decaying flesh unveiling marrow Frozen lake of lifeless souls Beneath the gale on the north fells My stiff coniferous skin Shattering bark to cultivate the soil Moss hidden decomposed remains Abandonment of the ego A vacant land above the arctic circle Realm of frozen graves, a past forlorn Primordial abandonеd towers Spiral stairway to the night sky A circle of trees bеneath the summit Saturated in a blinding fog I can hear the ghosts of antiquity A call to dwell for eternity Bleak and hollow my creation Abandonment of formation A pathos for yore Longing for fire Self ascending flame Decaying flesh unveiling marrow A rite of ancestral reverence Deliverance of the spirit Where I will forever remain To rebuild in isolation I long for a landscape of old To rest the world upon A tomb of spruce, a place of hiding Domain for which I will return again

Malevolence concealed and obscured A desire to hide from the eyes of a blind man One knows not that the other can see Spitting witness to a world never seen An instinct for deceit Cold dead hands passing the vessel A trail of crumbs Enough for starving men to rip each other apart The heart grows colder in a fortress impenetrable A monastic hardening of the flesh Encircled by serpents dripping venom Parasitic cryptic words Thy tongue shall bе cut out and thrown to wolves Thy eyes to bе plucked by the ravens Thy flesh be seared by hot iron A damning symbol for all to see Forgotten, he shall sit upon his throne Abandoned, to fight his war alone Rejected, no one will glorify Left to rot and decompose A trail of crumbs Leads a starving king to his crucifixion I have no mercy to extend A hardened heart of black iron Behold the burning crown A sight to even the blind shall see Forgotten, he shall sit upon his throne Abandoned, to fight his war alone Rejected, no one will glorify Left to rot and decompose

A bellow from beneath the stone Pale whispers on the icy wind Shadows dance on the devil’s field A darkness cast down onto the cross Atop the mountain a mighty demon Heaving earth to crush holy creation A breathing summit, mouth of fog Smoke climbing higher, echoes of the burning pyre A monstrous reflection upon the lake The glowing eyes of hell peering down Embers like stars against the night sky All of your monuments come crumbling down Crying, seething, weakness of the will Knee deep in thе ashes of their piety Grinding, thinning, еrosion to the bone Rebuild to restore the devil’s scorn Hiding from the light of the sun Deep into the black caves below Atop the mountain a mighty demon Heaving earth to crush holy creation A breathing summit, mouth of fog Smoke climbing higher, echoes of the burning pyre A resting stone In the draping mist A collapsed entrance Trapped for a silent millenia

Ripples on the water A gasp for air Sliding deeper down Enveloping void A life of misery Rid the calamity Self ascension Enlightenment bestowed Breathe in, breathe out Death will comfort us Let go and release All you fear There is nothing more To keep you waiting Fuck this world Divinity beyond the aether
