The Artifex

Reclined in swathe of bedlam's grimoires

Sheathes of ancient vellum cradle skull

Sigils scour sallow skin, copper veins

Drip gnosis, draw mind from mortal lull

I pluck the stitches, stun the senses, milk the pain I graze

I storm the portals of dead Immortals trapped in yesterdaze

I dive to new depths, plunder sunk wrecks in culp of fetid drain

I seek the Artifex. Disenchant hex to lift this Curse of Cain!

Of Cain!

Artifex absorb a corpus

Alchemy in limbic vortex

Archetype bequeath a gene

To murder Eden, dismember dream

Beyond arc of Reaper's lethal grace

The shade of Cain shrives guilt in mud

And golems raised all display his slain

Brother's bludgeoned face

I pluck the stitches, stun the senses, milk the pain I graze

I storm the portals of dead Immortals trapped in yesterdaze

I dive to new depths, plunder sunk wrecks in culp of fetid drain

I seek the Artifex. Disenchant hex to lift this Curse of Cain!

Of Cain!

Artifex absorb a corpus

Alchemy in limbic vortex

Archetype bequeath a gene

To murder Eden, dismember dream
