Lyrics to Caviary To The General [Full Album 2023] by Terrestrial Hospice

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Rat In A Burning Cage Alone Enclosed by the grey walls of a deserted cellar and an overwhelming sense of desperation Is this really the last pillar of hope for deliverance? You’d do well in abandoning all delusions, for the salvation you seek is nowhere to be found Corpses strewn across the ground, filthy snow stained by blood Thick, black smoke and ashes smother the sky The sun now shines in memory only, as impenetrable darkness engulfs all of existence Alone Bones break and skulls crack beneath me A life-extinguishing cacophony of terror Perpetual darkness is all that remains That ever-present lightless existence from whence you came, to which you shall return Steel tearing flesh Bullets penetrating skin Bleeding lungs riddled with sulphide Say whatever rosaries you will, but there is neither divine nor secular protection to be had 02. 03:20 In The Streams Of Phlegethon This cold but purest of energies, I can sense it with all of my being as it drags me to the end of my wits I let it pierce my heart and my soul like the tip of the (un)holy lance penetrating the feeble dangling flesh It heals my soul and mind, grants me great powers As pure as the flames of the filth-incinerating river It is the naked truth, with no tolerance for lies one that I accepted into my heart many moons ago I can see its aura I smell its fragrance I hear its beating pulse I touch its core and taste its flesh Once there was a belly like a cauldron of impurity festering with contaminated thoughts, full of wormwood and fear But they are no more, and all the weeds sown by leeches drowned in the fiery streams of Phlegethon 03. 08:32 December Night Blood boiling, batteries charged Whether fire or storm, nothing matters anymore Consequential concerns won't stop an arm which for so long has yearned to wield the razor-sharp blade Tonight is the night for him to finally relieve some pressure; to open the vent and be swept away by morbidity and become the master of life and death There is no choice but to satiate this hunger! Extinguish the star with striking precision Right through the cranium 04. 12:44 Extinction Delight I remember walking through these woods, wandering beneath this mountain range, between deep lakes and dark rivers Sun and moon alike; unbroken, uncontaminated, unobtainable It was so long ago now that I ask myself: was it just a dream? Fading photos, mould, rot, and fermentation is all that remains as everything organic withers and dies An opening of the proverbial can of worms, rampant spread of virulent disease, beyond control – bereft of limits On the summit of my beloved mountain I stand, gazing out with contempt I see them clearly: the swarm of rats, spreading the contagion of spirit and mind Tainting the whole of existence The blackest of nights is almost upon us, but flashes of lightning will illuminate the dark and set ablaze horror in their hearts Searing heat and molten rock, celestial chastisements to once and for all dissolve the tissue of all forked tongues 05. 18:50 Vermin Behold the bottomless well of darkness Seven Gates to open, Seven Gates to pass Seek the black flame at the end of the tunnel until your eyes fixate upon the gloomy towers dominating this plane Your cherished burial ground Herds of sheep nowhere to be seen, commandments trampled regardless of creed Be it the ten, the seven, or the five: foolish decrees fashioned for fools But what do you expect from vermin whose very existence is parasitical? 06. 22:57 The Last Dance Coals line our path, black as the night on a lunar eclipse Come, my friends – let us kindle the fire Sparks from its embers will shoot up to the heavens to herald our call to the last dance A rite of passage, the ultimate test of faith Festival of courage and strength Pain and pleasure are your only friends, intricate instruments of divine dimensions Soaring to the rhythm of this exquisite song while feet are melting over incandescent coal But the pain will yield to astonishment as the Seven Trumpets drown out all else And yet you still wish there was more? Let us break the chains and vacate this husk The song reaches its climax, the heat is here flames caressing your flesh as you leave the building 07. 29:39 Memoir Beneath a starless night-sky we prowl the shadows of an oaken grove, thwarting your sacred vision for this world Your feeble sphere is destined to fall as seeds of awe are sown in your hearts Outbursts of rage cut through the silence, shards of glass tear faces to shreds; a joyous letting of humanity’s blood! Here’s no peace until the cleansing is complete and the sun of reprisal has burnt off the fog As the new day dawns, wind-carried clouds of smouldering ashes turn the bleating of lambs into wheezing coughs This otherworldly symphony heralds our triumph and stokes the blissful fires in my heart 08. 34:48 Path To Mahasamadhi Northern winds bite through my skin Thick, black clouds cleanse me with rain Agitation and thrill at the tip of my fingers Imposing bedrock - so cold to the touch, this is my home: alpine abode of ice and warmth Plunging my astral self into the whirling abyss, an orgasmic fusion brings me to the edge This thin, red cord makes it all... … feel so simple and exciting Another transcendental adventure I paint all pictures in black, breathwork guides my every step Pulse and breathing, prime components of my alchemy and keys to cast wide open the gate of infinity: the realm where I will one day dwell forever I walk through my Eden – so beautiful and pure My subconscious remembers what has been repressed Here I can access the buried memories of when fork-tongued whispers polluted my garden trying to form everything into their scornful image I wish I could remain here, but that time has not yet come... 09. 39:24 Ars Moriendi Standing at the edge of things where the noxious breath of humanity carries winds of despair Grief seeping into the pores of my skin, derangement is all that remains. Filled to the brim with constant strife, impenetrable mists of oblivion absorb my bruised self Loathing this world, loathing mankind, loathing all of the existence Thou merciful Thanatos, the aim of all being, soothe my ravaged soul with the bliss of unawareness and let your darkness extinguish the smouldering embers A pale horse traverses the starry sky, bringing about the joy of the end The heavy black curtain of nothingness spreads an all-embracing silence and sets my frantic spirit free
