Far beyond the grace of rationality A cauldron brims its bile Brewing ebon toxicity A blackness to be reviled Alchemic spells of vengeance Its potenency unsurpassed By pestilence, by pestle Unleashed upon the earth at last Breathe... Know... Die... Not unike vomit from a victim of plague My cup shall overflow of plenty And akin to the boils lanced from backs of lepers A miasma for the many Dies Irae, Rex Exitium The first broken of the seven seals Sat upon an alabaster steed Flesh necrotizing, sloughs off the bone Fetid darkness permeates the lungs Human, look sickness in the eyes And revel in decreptitude divine With bow and crown befitting a king This Typhoid Midas presides Beyond the grace of rationality A cauldron brims its bile Brewing ebon toxicity A blackness to be reviled

Enter to the realm of decadent souls, wherein carnage unfolds... Into the forest where darkness comes to perch An invitation to a residence of indulgence and sin Find an orgy of clergy drunk and draped in crosses inverse And the tolling of the bell that signals hell to be unleashed within Through morbid architecture and great gothic halls Ostentatious carvings spring from ornately festooned walls Within spires altitudinous the witching hour beckons A scene reveals, a virgin kneels, so pale and plump and fecund ...And the bell chimes, this time its second Depraved nobles draped in shroud To shadow their murderous rites A wicked prayer is read aloud Over screams cast into the night Candle light glints daggers drawn As soft flesh is pierced from without The screams, it seems, are all but gone Once the virgin's tongue is cut from her mouth Enter to the realm of decadent souls, as the carnage unfolds within The Dread Cathedral of Flesh and Blood Hear the call The Dread Cathedral of Flesh and Blood The circle of hooded figures breaks its ranks, sated by death Through morbid architecture and into the forest deep Never spoken of outside the walls of this sacrificial keep
