Vanish Beneath

By Wode

On Burn in Many Mirrors

Thumbnail

Violet rays of a buried sun

These horrors dwell in the mind

Defiled by human hate

They manifest, take flesh

At twilight they pass through the gate

In the realm of a shadow sun

Dark work has just begun

A place between life and death

A nightmare resurrection

Those scorned, enslaved

Supernal law, abysmal fate

They own the night

They do not sleep

A presence pulls you under

To vanish in the deep

Psychedelic malediction

Poisoned conscious, bound and chained

Strange lights cast ghoulish visions

And illuminate the grave mounds

Among saturnine depths

Life melts away

As above, so below

Stars hang

Chained around your neck

The noose remains

Blood to fire

Flesh to earth

Skin to water

Sepulchral rebirth

Passing through the tunnels

Among the insane

They swarm together

Like rats down a drain

The belly of the beast groans with expectant pleasure

Bowels of the earth, machinery is multiplied

A furnace looms and feasts upon infernal treasure

As chimneys spew black ink into the stony sky above

Haunted, hunted forever

Stalking through the kingdom of the damned

Vanished, banished, forgotten

Deliverance by your own hand

A thousand eyes spinning wild

Penetrate

Burning hook, molten blade

Lacerate

Jacob's ladder

Now a spinal column

Transform, mutate

Opposites reversed

They fall from the rungs

To the gaping maw below

As sanity slips away

Descent into shadow

Beneath the rot

Return and turn to clay

In fire of fever you waste away

Stillness of the tomb

Lost rivers flow beyond the gloom

This world lumbers on

In defiance of its nature

Invoke the end

Strike a nail through the heart of the future
