Thou art the viper an ebon omen Adorned in sigils Seven pyres alight Benighted visions writhing betwixt the snakes Invocation You enter the spheres beyond Sacra orbis Sacrum actum Consummate flesh and spirit begotten by chaos Make me one with thee! Absolution Discern the nature of all The lashing will of the maelstrom Winds of a transient cosmos Inexorable flames devouring all Meaning lost in dissolved intent feeding upon the bodily cosmos Descend into nothing Relinquish thy form Robe thy spirit in dusky shadows neath an ebon sky Rove among these fields of nightfall where fading spectres dwell Heeding thy call Divine, thy sigil Claiming my flesh as thy own! Come to me beneath the stars! Let thy wisdoms be known! Undefined and infinite This wordless, mystic union! Bathing in light from the stars Performing transcendental rites Spilling the blood of the soul Abandon failed humanity! Time unfolds from hidden manifolds The absolute truth no mind shall grasp, nor hold Cognitive constructs dissolving into The All Be reborn Relinquish thy flesh and soul Begotten - A bolt of light aflame Shevirah - Scattered in shards Qelipot - The other side entwined In mystic symbiosis the art of Sitra Achra Born of nihil and naught a web emerged Thy will is law Do what thou wilt Naamah Mekeshar Adonai ha-Aretz Blood flows, thy divine river hidden from the ego's eye A Mammon, false righteousness Clouds vision with untrue sights Transcending sight as stoic watchers exhalate the void from the edges of time, unfurled where spirits dwell to teach in vain! Genuflect by writhing fingers of thy flames and scented clouds of myrrh Visions of exalted ones fade to the obscure as sigils ascend to the stars! Inverted reflection Departed, beyond this world Throw open the gates of Guf Walk thy path, find answers sought!

Under a dark and balefull sky I wake up and open my eyes Finding myself amongst the trees in this sheltering bed of dead leaves Unknown feelings unworldly and deep an all-encompassing sense of time and space None of my feelings are familiar to me anymore like an out of body kind of rebirth I can taste rain and ice like blood on my thousand tongues of moss and stone I can hear the thunders roaring and winds are blowing a scent of old sheets from long forgotten tomes A strange perception of cosmic concepts unimaginable shapes drenched in colors unknown Glowing sphere crying perceptable wisdom turning wheels in the face of endlessness As a part of this dark and balefull sky with burning tears of despair in my eyes I'm looking down on this sea of trees on my sheltering bed of dead leaves ...in grief

Fire burns inside the soul Flesh is the vessel I have been born A being within the flames From where came this soma? Aware in cognizant thought Axiom praeda fugacior Unknown in true essence Intangible constructs What defines the incarnation of a mortal being's mind? From the abyss, moving in sleep Spiritual fragments meld into me Emanate from beyond the light Awake into a dream Still the soul burns bright! When we return to vast eternity and abandon this corpus defining fragments will always remain And still we fail to define the soul and what it means to be alive

The moment is gone, my thoughts are drowning in the remains Dim lights in the distance, a pathetic scenery Leaves carried by the wind like the essence of my soul The dance of St. Vitus in the looming void Mere despair is what's left at the dreary end of every day past Where is my will, where is the urge to thrive? I need to let go in order to embrace My desires are dragging my body across this last barrier of paltriness Eyes are chasing reflections of future - a distant promise of fading pain A white horizon, an icy wind easing the rush of blood in my veins Finally breathing - stretching my limbs Finally silence - No voices, no fight I'm nothing more than raw material for the seasons Floating in between, scarred and shattered by their forces Fed by the unmeasurable pulse of day and night Until the heavenly bodies finally die Haunting pictures of miserable moments Chasing away all the love and joy once felt Scenes of long forgotten darkness Spinning through my inner world - So fragile and bleak -Give me something to hold on to, my body is weak from years of suffering Grant me one single moment where nothing is hurting and the future is more than just a word once said Let me lay down my head in these fields of pale white and well-known nothingness let me sleep by your silent side, oh mother earth Let me forget about the distance I feel Give me patience - A reason to endure, A single impulse to fill my lungs again Shut my eyes and bury my mind in your eternal womb of certitude I'm calling the waters, the bringers of life to fill my veins and cleanse my innermost -I'm calling the soil, the carrier of fertility to be my leading host I'm calling the winds of the realms above to blow away the stench of decay and idleness I'm calling the fires, the bringers of light to burn down the borders and brighten my path With words of anger I'm carving my desires into fragments of smoldering air When my journey is ending, when I'm free of desires and pain, bring me back to where spirits dwell to teach in vain. Wenn meine Reise endet, wenn ich frei bin von Schmerz und Begehren, Bring mich zurück dorthin wo die Geister leben und vergebens lehren! Where spirits dwell to teach in vain.

[Lyrics by DARKTHRONE] I must embrace visual hell To satisfy us Rape the whores in blasphemy I am him while I feast upon your flesh Glance into my eyes And see the darkest shadows dancing Playing in the desert of my life Burning, - And my soul is descending... Lover of all - Face the apocalypse You fade away under the black rain And flowers remain Flowers to step on, flowers to burn I am ready for the god below Red flesh to penetrate my skin To steel my soul away To the grave I seek Until I'm feeling weak... But there's fire In my heart, in my eyes In his body, in his eyes And in his lovely kingdom

[Lyrics by SUMMONING] Where forest stream went through the wood And silent all the stems there stood Of tall trees, moveless, hanging dark With mottled shadows on their bark As faint as deepest sleeper's breath An echo came as cold as death Long are the paths, of shadow made Where no foot's print is ever laid No moon is there, no voice, no sound Of beating heart; a sigh profound Once in each age as each age dies Alone is heard. Far, far it lies The Land of Waiting where the Dead sit, In their thought's shadow, by no moon lit Upon the plain, there rushed forth and high Shadows at the end of night and mirrored in the sky Far far away beyond might of day And there lay the land of the dead of mortal cold decay

about

After several years of intermittent work we are proud to present this record of our most ambitious & creative works to date which stands to serve as a great milestone of our two paths crossing. A combined piece of art by two people and their projects with an equal love for music, philosophy, the occult and the nature we all need and adore. We don't know what the future holds for all of us but for now we are proud and happy to grant you this insight into the minds of Demiurge & Askvald and into the indistinct spheres WHERE SPIRITS DWELL TO TEACH IN VAIN
