Dead But Dreaming
04:46

the world is a mist
the soul a fog
the heart is still beating
but I cannot hear it
the pain is the only real thing
yet is comfortably numb
I am not here at all
all frontiers to reality vanished
while unveiling the obnoxious void
where I stand
conscious
but absent
dead
but dreaming
the pain is the only real thing
yet is comfortably numb
I am not here at all
people around are fractions of imagination
who speak to me in foreign tongues
and in purgatory
waiting
in eerie delusion
dead
but dreaming
the pain is the only thing I feel
while dwelling
on my comfortable numbness
the pain is no longer intrusive
the pain is me
the pain is death

I see worms coming off my flesh
when I look at pictures of me
and in the mirror
there is no reflection
there is no refraction
all is black
all is absence
I dream of maggots swallowing my every bit
as I lay down in binding surrender
and looking up
I contemplate abyss-like skies
falling over mankind
cocooned as infinite sorrow
I feel like a praying mantis
in a swarm of locust
I should be god
among insects
I should be poetry
sung by the damned
while they burn at the stake
I should be praised
in the psalms of the unwritten gospels
my name whispered
in the walls of the akashic room
and I am just
a praying mantis
in a swarm of locust

A Morte Versou
07:28
|
|||
|
E a morte sorriu
de seu próprio domínio
Cheia de vazio
Fecunda de nada
presença solene
E a morte versou
a sua própria obra-prima
o grande nada
o vazio final
para os condenados
Suave mas convincente
eficazmente perturbadora
e irreversível
Confortável, mas dormente
eficazmente saturnino
e irreversível
Na sua náusea
Na sua respiração
Em seu calor sufocante
quando, jocosamente
num absoluto prazer avarento,
rouba o último suspiro
gracioso mas catatónico
eficazmente terminal
logo irreversível
troca vida por uma névoa suave
conduzindo ao futuro inexistente
Ele suga a vida com redemoinhos prazerosos
Em movimentos sensuais sádicos
E então silencia o clímax
no auge do infinito vazio
Em sua irreversibilidade é feliz
a guerra que faz já ganhou
esboçando um sorriso enquanto mutila
toda a esperança, toda a vida
Em carícias lascivas

SALQIU PE, Brazil
A mysterious entity swallowing the light into the darkest abyss, marching mechanically into the realms of Salqiu, the most
obscure Lusitanian Warrior God of the Dead and the Underworld...
there is a Cosmos in the Underworld. A Dark, obscure aura that must be unveiled...

The Ruins of Eden
by Sjálfsmorð af Gáleysi
This blows you away with a master class of BM wizardry that is stepping away from the clichés of the genre while transporting you into the realms of the extreme and the darkest corners of your mind.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 51 fans who also own “Lost (EP)”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
