Consumption 06:08
With woe it's told How Mercy’s fair bestowment Crumbles 'neath the Winter Shadow's wrath The Reaper's call "Submit to grave enchantments For every day is crowned With a setting sun." To her doom Countenance alight Flush as blazing rubies Clenched in pallid snow With every breath Death’s baneful jaw Tears another morsel Right from her ailing soul The townspeople Consult each other As George Brown's daughter Meets her doom "What shall be done If the reckoning on this family Leads to the threshold of our very own doors?"
2.
Hearsay 03:17
"I saw her there Bathed in witching moonlight Stalking to the threshold of Suffering Edwin's room "I caught her glare A sevenfold fright Its horror drains the might from man And joy from woman's womb "Prospects dim Edwin’s death draws near He cannot draw a breath without Expulsion from his heart “Pity for him But curses follow accursed in like I reckon sin roots deeply In the grounds of their wretched plot!”
3.
Division 03:51
These folk A fickle and paranoid horde Spread utterance of discord Act judge and jury Of those abhorred See How they avert their eyes In shame holding close their lies In place of suffering Brothers in Christ Desire For a peace which evades Never will a blessed day Be found amidst Their crooked ways And now They draw close To pronounce their boast, "Something must be done To still this Phantom's approach"
4.
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, O abide with me Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord Familiar, condescending, patient, free Come not to sojourn, but abide with me Come not in terror, as the King of kings But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me

Panacea 05:46
"A curse festers in our midst! Grown from an estate Within our town “Drive them hither From our doors Lest they bring the wrath Of heaven down "The daughter's flesh Comes to life And drains our vigor In the night “The son is preyed upon Worst of all Evil gathers 'round him As hellhounds answer Satan's call “How callous We weigh the cost To save ourselves And count others lost “How might we live With Godly pride And yet condemn Our own to die? “Brothers and sisters Bear no ill To these here We count our own “Things might be done To clean this slate Shall we drive them Out in haste? “There are means To set things right: Expel the ghost of Mercy And treat Edwin's plight “The hidden workings And scripts of old Might expel the evil From their home"
7.
The crowds are gathered To the burial site This exhumation A banishment rite Her hair and nails Grow as before And fresh blood In heart, engorged Set alight Upon the stone Her organs smoldered And mixed in a bowl The brew is such To cleanse the flesh Of Mercy's witching And Edwin's death Compounding misery A dreadful mix The ashen water Presented thus His spirit shaken Weighs grim the thought "Mine kind hath remedies Far removed from God"
8.
Through outer darkness A spectre doth gleam With mournful eyes and Countenance serene Beckoning hither Across the great expanse 'Twixt the waking world And what comes next A fading light Draining from the hollows of his eyes The final rites Spoken in murmurs as he dies The soul arise Pulled from his cooling flesh One with the night As Edwin Brown Surrendered to the Triumph of Death On the morrow A shadow comes to life Banished from the sun To dwell in the moonlight His needs are such That all had feared Drawing from loved ones lives held dear Accursed night Horror in the abyss of their eyes The pleas of fright Groaned by his victims as they writhe In time They'll succumb like all the rest Consumption The Herald Angel Announce The Triumph of Death

Occult black metal from Rhode Island.

A hearkening back to traditional blackness and death.
