Abyssal Spasm
10:56
|
|
||
Profound concussion unleashed
cataclysmic upheaval ensues,
currents reversed, chasms forming,
depths dredged, plains scoured
Profound concussion unleashed
breaths of boiling anguish
churn the deepest crevices,
fissures spit magma into the tides
Colossal city - Hidden in the depths
Megalopolis - Unknown to land dwellers
Colossal city - Once resplendent
Megalopolis - Rent asunder
Vast basalt structures
deprived of their former splendour,
dwellers simultaneously
stupefied and pulverized
Reefs reduced - to vestigial carcasses
Reefs reduced - to barren plains
Reefs ruptured, crushed, decimated
Reefs reduced, to nothing
Within abyss, the depth of depths, beyond the spasms,
Neath temple seal, with stygian purpose, a sentience awakens

Unbound

Benthic temple as black as night
Old as the ocean depths themselves
Girt by sentinel, Nearly as ancient
Proof to all but the most violent shockwaves
Custodians disarmed, Temple seal violated
Architeuthis
Unbound by time
Cyclopean entity
Anathema to mortal sentience and its puerile perceptions of space.
antediluvian slumber, unbroken for eons,
through the births of lesser races, to their throes,
in a cyclic rhythm, echoing indifference.
Awoken, roused by fumes of slaughter
oozing through the fractured temple altar
Through riven, once monolithic seal
A self-fulfilling prophecy is birthed
Architeuthis lumbered,
Tentacles engorged rigid with rage
Acres of iron-flesh, wrenching matter beyond
Leagues of tendril flailing, in blind vehemence
The roaring collapse of the, threshold twixt worlds masked by a
cacophony, of endless gnashing.

Basalt Kraken
08:23
|
|
||
Innumerable life-forms, Drawn from the wreckage
Gathered in melancholy, grieving in unison
Arisen in vast pilgrimage, tempered in wrath
Bonds forged in anger, Traverse the crust
Listen to the call
The clarion call
Form in the shade of the wreckage
Flock to the banner of vengeance
The denizens of the depths
Preparing to besiege
The machinists of the land
And bring them to their knees
Monurans
Protodonates
Ammonoids
Neath basalt kraken sigil
A covenent is entered
An autocracy is birthed
Upon the ocean floor
And eclipsed by a war-like god

Fate of the Faithful
12:01
|
|
||
The might of the ocean march forth
To enrapture the earth with dread
Vengeance begets victory
The fate of the faithless is death
A compact forged in idealistic, self-souring sentiment
Neath fruits of its own embitterment, is destined to dismay.
Imminent dismay.
Prayers are cast into irrelevance
Worship is made in vain
Seeds sown of helplessness reaping nothing but sorrow
Regrets reap the same
Prayers are cast into irrelevance
Worship is made in vain
Seeds sown of helplessness reap nothing but sorrow
Regrets reap the same
Shackled in misguided servitude
To a bludgeoning force
A mass realisation
Turns our host to flight
An antipathic horror -
Spreading its fondness for war
An antipathic horror -
Sharing its wrath amongst all
Shackled in misguided servitude
To a bludgeoning force
A mass realisation
Turns our host to flight
Prostate before obliteration
The seas are enveloped by dread
Encapsulated by tyranny
The fate of the faithful is death
Two civilisations mired in unpleasantness
Two civilisations ensnared and wracked with endearing constrictions.
Two civilisations beset and devoured
Two civilisations gorged on forever.
