In a forgotten field In a time worn barn An ancient machine Stirs to life With a new fuel The powder kegs of industry Long ago combusted And now we forever dwell In the perpetual moment Between the ice, the foliage And the scorched earth Beneath the desert sands And the jungles of time The waters hollowed The space within Where the mind becomes the world This place now forgotten Has become the forboding lake Where in a rifle dwells Stowed away for a time like this

Teal waters reflect The cave walls like the night sky In the bottom of the Cenote A cave in the lake Where it is thought time began It is this cave you are told of By the voice in the changed dampened air At the shoreline Where it first told you Of the strange white men's lies But a brother Red Star Left a cache marked by a colossal head by the lake Now is the time foretold in the songs Symbolized in the dances They told us of... The voice murmuring in the haze That hangs over the water Like the sweet waters carry the message Of a pool, down the stream, of a dream, but farther you must go than it seems Only when enough have fallen from the sky Will the world as it is completely die This is what must be done! Fear not the blood shed Nor the retreat of life Do what you must To keep the fires alight As the time for burning grows e'er near! Bat away the fear of darkness and harness The pulling weight of the void inside To weaponize the moment before us And so we thank the Red Stars That guide us Through the voids they left behind For the baton they've handed us Is the scepter we must break And stake their dying world In the heart Gilded parasites Their tendrils crushed underfoot Cease the writhing With the tip of a bayonet Call forth the others to seize the appendages And pin it into its grave Let the soil you heap on its corpse Host the flowers of a peace long yet to be Only when their world is completely taken to the depths Will ours begin to rise anew From the ashes we will grow To the ashes let their world go So take the rifle From the Red Stars cave In the lake and gather the tinder And the fuel For it is you who are called To heed the voice inside Pluck the blade from the stone Bring forth the ALL to one Take it to heart Like the obsidian through the bone Bring the all to the one And the one to the all Do what you're called Fear not the forever fall

tales of the conflicts of the past echoing into the present at last whispers to your self before the firefight will bring no peace to the blood at night haunted by the terror they aim to bring into their homes will our bullets sing the screams in the portals we opened cried for their blood now as in the songs they sang, we have come to do as we must they smashed our altars, killed our gods but the pendulum swings and for us a new dawn your kings, fed to the void your empires will crumble in the face of our masses, your armies too, will be humbled the virulent revenge of our mother the crushing march of the "other" beneath the treads of what's to come unmake their world and plant a seed for our own so it is written, and so it must be done as in the time, of the ancient ones. Nature demands her due. No longer will the efforts of the many engorge only the few Let their pews be hacked up for fuel, pyres to the dark womb of the void. as we lap up the red waters of victory fate plunges its quill in the inkwell of history so the scarlet words will fill the pages, of the tomes that will tell of the struggle for the ages. Those yet to come will curse those that did nothing their offspring to be fed to the sun the few that escape us, will be riddled with plagues by its rays as the sun crushes our enemies when they leave our world so will night protect us, as we reclaim what is ours so what more can be said, for the tales of the dead their words long ago forgotten, but some still know the memory returns when we look to the past to remember whats been done, and what must come to pass.

the Old ones, from before speak a tongue, no longer known The New Gods took it, so their hearths, they could grow Echoing in the aethyr countless tales, lost to the unknown Our libraries filled, the pyres of their dead God But Now the time has come, In the silence, they only whisper to some If you listen you can hear them, As they mind removes the veil and their screaming whispers become the voice in side When the lights in the sky, align with the stones on the earth, in the land of forgotten tongues Though the warriors have gone the war still rages on in the souls of those that lived through the terror a conflict that echoes endlessly reinforcing the torment of the species Battles waged between those that would take and from who it is taken! so grind the wheels of time, it matters not if we live or die in the lands of forgotten tongues Measures of men, they come and go, time counts lines in mortal's souls men the fields they cleared in the land of forgotten tongues The new gods that came, they too had been conquered driven from the strangelands never to find what they'd lost for their ancestors also dwell in the lands cut off from our world by the dead god's destruction In the land of forgotten tongues! Look now to the hoarders of wealth Societal tumor erupting you will see the oxen that drive this calamity forward barbarians pickled in their finery lance the boil, sacrifice the bull let the blood come pouring forth in the land of forgotten tongues Now we all grope for what's been lost as their world eclipses ours turning the day to night in the land of of forgotten tongues When the lights in the sky, return to their stones on the earth In the land of forgotten Tongues The old ones that will come are the lights in the sky they will return to the earth to destroy the dead god's of man raining their cleansing fire just as it was written in the tomes long forgotten and burned by THEM Do you hear them coming? If you did, would you join them or flee? The ones that are coming, speak a tongue you will soon come to know their many colored faces, painted the way the old ones did open the doors to the strangelands just as the whispers commanded now the tendrils of the past will destroy or open your mind in the land of forgotten tongues

Skies Crowded With Red Light Beaming from our host, The magnetic Veil, that once sheltered Us Stripped from the globe Her dry hills, Would become the kindling for our World Awaiting its Humbling With Ignorant Fear Its Undoing would come Only with Her command for when she spoke all their cities, and their wonders, were reduced to ash And So many, were returned to the void The Old Mother, would take them as her Just due What is a loss on our plane is her gain! What must be given? and therefore, taken? To rectify the crimes of man? that which must be cast away through the abrasive sands of time, like these rituals of the worship of summer Long Forgotten Like the miniscule fragments of bone from the rattle time tattles on the crimes of our enemies the gaps in the glyphs or the millions That know not their tongues and tomes! So Must we entomb them, to be forgotten In the loathsome heat of the sun LET THE ELEMENTS REAP OUR VENGEANCE Upon the descendents of our oppressors May her Waters desecrate the inheritors, of their plunder! This worship is the warship of "summer": Whats planted in the Spring will grow in the summer and come to harvest in the beginning of the fall But as we've learned from the fools of Winter, Perhaps some fruits are worth suffering for SO! Like the azure painted beings! FED TO THE SUN So long ago, so must we, march up the pyrimid and give, or take, what is commanded! So much is asked, yet so little is offered this void, fuels the tanks, on the ship THAT WILL BRING the war The Perpetual Powder Keg When the loathsome light of her son scathes the surface and irradiates, our globe Hail the flames of decay! for they are the flames of justice Hail the stones throne in anger! thru the windows of their false order open the mountain sealing our bounty If need be, When the chaos has settled or in the heat of the battle, take them, as captives, to the great old city and paint THEM blue like the waters, before their desecration, and lead your azure enemies up the steps, to the temple atop the pyramid of the old ones, and offer their hearts to the bringers of rain their pain, spins the wheels of time, and pays the clouds not to rain, on the fields of our foes and enemies those whose blood must be spilt, in the war that must be won, we must go, spearitually toe to toe with an enemy, thoroughly robed, in the illusions of power but the window, to destroy them grows narrower by the hour their visions, too dangerous, to be left ALIVE Invoke the WARSHIP armored with the revelations of the Worship of SUMMER

On the ground now, fighting towards the distant triumph Advance now, the black flags and the red banners in unity Inevitably, towards that day, when we will see those beyond They who will unite the throngs of the forgotten the songs they will sing of of the struggle towards our GLORY hail the shadows that will be cast on the martyrs in our stories as the light of a red dawn now bathes those in the trenches the bellows of the forge of a world yet to come! To conquer our enemies in the battle for the future summon a billion voices from beneath the boot of the tyrants united by a beckoning from the ancient depths to take up arms against their oppressors call forth now the masses dismantle the fasces and take the axes to their throats! let their blood flow, dechristening our temples Let their heads roll, as in the days of old down the pyramids built from their temples Open the portals No mere mortals can close under the feet of the unwilling light the pyres of revenge Force open their eyes to what they refuse to know and if they look away feed them to the waters of time and if they look away feed them to the waters of time At the mouth of the cave where occurred the visions to take up arms There is maintained the fire stolen, from the gods bask in the warmth of it's memory enforce our grip on the oppressor's throats close your fist on the larynx of the liars melt down their heavenly throne No battles are won without a toll paid in blood a Doom approaches beyond what mortals can fathom the bloodshed to avert it, a mercy in comparison those who's offspring will inherit it will be cursed by their children So let their heads roll, as in the days of old down the pyramids built from their temples open the portals no mere mortals can close under the feet of the unwilling light the fires of revenge force open their eyes to what they refuse to know and if they look away feed them to the waters of time at the mouth of the cave, where occurred the visions to take up arms no battles are won, without the toll paid in blood

Plucked from their world For daring to host a vision To leave it Disinvited from the spectacle For noting those profiting deceivers No illusions about what could come Keep the summer inside For the far side of the wheel When in the cold clutches of those on the dark side of the sun Remember the battles yet to be won And hold close the vision of the world we build With their skulls crushed underfoot! Beat your chest in the face of the cold walls of fate Fear not the solitude Knocked like the arrow on the bow of the guardsmen in the tower about to shoot In the solitude They threaten you with Dilute the poison From their world Dissolve the calcification From the lens of mind In the caustic waters in the void Let time come unhinged From the grid they stapled on her spine. Experience the eternal moment In the torment Of the stone walls Built by the criminals who entrapped us And fed us to the void Let us only return to corporeal form When the season of frostbite and death is upon us Bury me in the mound Where lay my fallen siblings They who died or were taken In the wars yet to come

Crush Them 04:29
Crush them if they stand in your way Crush them between the legs of the Goddess Crush them with the weight of the blood they spilled Crush them with the macuahuitl Crush them with a stone mace Crush them to turn the tide Crush them With our ancestors' face There are those, that the Blood Gods demand must be fed to the blade aside from them all of those that resist, must be Crushed There are those, that the Blood Gods demand must be fed, to the blade aside from them, all of those that resist, must be Crushed and fed to the Maw of Time when in doubt Crush them those that mock our size Crush Them if they delay our Prize Crush them beneath our hooves and between our claws we will crush them with the Old Ones and Those Yet to Come we will Crush Them when the one finds unity with the all we will Crush Them like the Void where light goes to die we will Crush Them with blood red flag in mortal's hands Crush Them with no excuse for the terror we will Crush them when our time comes we will CRUSH THEM There are those, that the Blood Gods demand must be fed to the blade aside from them all of those that resist, must be Crushed and FED TO THE MAW OF TIME There are those, that the Blood Gods demand must be fed, to the blade aside from them, all of those that resist, must be Crushed and FED TO THE MAW OF TIME with the Old Ones and Those Yet to Come we will Crush Them when the one finds unity with the all we will Crush Them like the Void where light goes to die we will Crush Them with blood red flag in mortal's hands Crush Them with no excuse for the terror we will Crush them

about

A culmination of a magical working that began in October 2019 that came to fruition as social fissures opened up amidst a plague, while the world burned. It deals with the end, and possible new beginnings. What is old, and what is yet to come.
