Carnicide

Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered at Midian Studio in Agudos, São Paulo, Brazil from July to December, 2018.

In my fuge from Babylon
Seduced by her I fell
But while I drunk her entrance wine
She lit the pyres of Hell
A harlot in biblical scale was born
And claimed my meed
Feeding me in her latrine
With my soul

Abhorrent - her name
Since those distant days
Till her burial
Declaiming epitaphs
Through mouths like open graves

Knifed by her taste
My crimes made me a guilty Fleuryan
Then before God Himself
My spirit was required

I fell alone
Amidst the myriads on Earth
Feeling the yoke of scorn
Demonizing my intentions

I was betrayed
By maledictions in her words
When in my chest they found
Plowed soil for their putrid seeds

The second night to fall
Is always darker than the first
In that I was the plague
Surviving to infect the herd
But once the poison was distilled
My viscera squirmed for first
And the most I evoked the devourer
Was the most I was the devoured

Eyes did not see
And ears did not hear what I did
Gomorrah did not dare
To utter half her blasphemy

And then He came
A Sun to blind one more Tarsian
His voice like many waters
Mercifully drowning my sin

Therein the serpent's tongue
Was silenced forever
For that was not able to sound
Above the Lion's roaring

To hounds He has given
What remained of her in my atria
Thus from Heaven above
To Midian's gates
All knew she was gone

The lit pyres
Consumed themselves to coal
There was celebration
And in that day
No saint was burnt for her

"Sit on the ground without a throne
O daughter of the Chaldeans
For thou shall no more be called
Tender and delicate Babylon."

He reaped her cruelty
Like acres of atrocities
And fed the supplicating heralds
Beyond the dead queen

I would perish
Enamoured with her malady
But from her bed of filthness
I escaped to be redeemed

"Tremble before His presence
Imparadised sons in sin
Contemplate His majesty"
