Queen of ravens fan feathers out like knives
Drink venom from vipers hidden amongst us
May her power demand retribution
May her sins bring absolution
The Iron Empress
Emanates in barbed romanticism
The blood of her followers … ecstatic
Flows through her veins like tidal waves
Traditions of trampling opposition under foot
The aqualungs and simpletons
Speak boldly of supremacy
Tongues dab at nightmares
Lends rape to praise and prayers
You will not be forgotten … promises
Palm of hand smudge disease away
Smite the life out of heresy
Give thanks to penances unbound
Mother’s milk and honey spoiled from the wastes of the land
Depose all that gather
weak minds alike, weak minds alike
Adept at trickery and disturbing chaos
A fraudulent relative calm
Knows little to no bounds
They will always punish
They are overjoyed
They thrive on apathy
They leave no choice
In pain
Hate
Defy
Death
Ecstasy …

Pyrrhon have created an itch for me that only they can scratch.
Disturbingly avant-garde and violently original, math-y and mind-boggling but also humorous (take the brilliant lyrics to Goat Mockery Ritual).
Great stuff, this is high art. jenglishlives
