False Teeth
Pisces as vesicles
Her safety to their shape
A stain fixed upon
Every house on this plane
Malkuth is in Kether
Casts a shadow by itself
It’s the nexus of her nature
And the pleasures of the flesh
(Chorus):
Waters of the sacred rivers
Are flowing in reverse
The old world you once knew
Is being born again
Beneath the dunes of time
Scarabs watch the stars
Echo the April of her prime
Just like a wound that leaves no scar
The ox became the butcher
Fifty dames for fifty grooms
Bloodlines are erased
Dynasties are doomed
(Chorus):
Waters of the sacred rivers
Are flowing in reverse
The old world you once knew
Is being born again

What’s past is prologue
For the circle always repeats
Keeping time in the wings
You were never meant to see
Steep was the path chosen for me
The one of torch and torture
Of flesh and flame the holy gift
That brought on my misfortune
(Chorus):
A scapegoat which was torn apart
By the cold hands of the pilgrims
The messenger who took the blame
Of those who would be victims
Time washed away your idols
Buried empires in the sand
I stand among the ruins
Waiting for the next ones
Without brethren to turn to
No hope to share this fate
Through endless aeons upon this earth
A progeny of Cain
(Chorus):
A scapegoat which was torn apart
By the cold hands of the pilgrims
The messenger who took the blame
Of those who would be victims

In its image
After its likeness
Progenies are writhing
Spineless servants
Stretching through
Past the bright clusters
Through the shadows
Silent pillars
Are calling from afar
To distant stars
Where eyeless children laugh
Things you had dreamed
But could not understand
All those signs
No priest in Thebes could read
Upon the walls
Since the dawn of time
Celestial hunters
Coming through
Astral portals
A cosmic farce
Haunts the dreams
Of mere mortals
Through the shadows
Silent pillars
Are calling from afar
To distant stars
Where eyeless children laugh
Things you had dreamed
But could not understand
All those signs
No priest in Thebes could read
Upon the walls
Since the dawn of time

Under obsidian cloaks
Behind funerary drapes
They ride through the night
To scourge the land with plagues
Through crooked mirrors
Perverted idols flare
Veils delude the shadows
Incense becoming flesh
(Chorus):
Immaculate temptress
Vermin & vine
Mocking the zealot
Luring the neophyte
The cold caress of sword
Wielded by female hand
Delivered to this mortal coil
This breath will be his last
Cymbals of strange gods
Echo through the night
Running red with blood
The fountain of life
(Chorus):
Vestal virgin
Crook & flail
Of the grand pecking order
And the secret heathen names

Dernier Martyr Greece
Emerging from the underground, blackened death metal entity Dernier Martyr spent a few years in ascetic form, solidifying their line-up and refining its sound before stepping out of the shadows to present their first infliction of stigmata, a curious amalgam combining elements from across the spectrum of metal and beyond. Onto the Martyrdom! ... more
