1.	False Teeth 03:37	lyrics	buy track
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
2.	Zoetrope 05:22	lyrics	buy track
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

about

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
