Rise Dissolution hath enveloped my soul Cast out, poison to the world The disloyal are lashed upon Ceasar's cross Where their dignity is slain And their legacy is left to rot This vulpine disease Sent down to destroy the weak Ascendency For those burned at the stake Immorality the gift I give unto this world Forged of its suffering I'm one of the dissolute In the shadows where we wait To feast on the malignant herd Guided by the truth I'm one of the dissolute A war born for we the worthy, wicked, and wise Who sieze dominion through our narcissistic pride This oath we've sworn we shall defend A trail of bloodshed will be left within our wake As we soldier on toward our destiny As men reborn When hope is gone and faith is lost we still remain Our hearts still beat this wolven blood coursing hatred through our veins We wear this badge of dynasties' demise We chosen few the dissolute To you the putrid and suffering Nailed upon the cross the symbol of your fallen king I pledge to be the serpentine sinking his fangs beneath the flesh of the divine You'll hunt but never find Pathetic is the man who dies seeking eternal life My reach does not exceed my grasp therefore I see no use for heaven Two coins on your eyes, hands crossed and tied Waiting for god to descend Where the world ends

The Unclean 03:18
The skies are ablaze with rapturous flame Descending from heaven above Bewitched by the sight of omnipotent light Could our gods have finally come In the disguise of the divine Ghost father and son Watch the wars that they wage Spread like a plague through their veins One by one Planting the seeds of what is to be Eclipsing the mind of mankind Masking their eyes behind a book of lies Dissolving inferior design To transform their faith to intolerant hate Until only the strongest survive The unclean will rise under me Destroying whats left of the human disease And by my hand thy will be done The withered and weak will bow before me Endlessly to forever surrender their destiny To I the chosen one Planting the seeds of what is to be Eclipsing the mind of mankind Masking their eyes behind a book of lies Dissolving inferior design To transform their faith to intolerant hate Until only the strongest survive Oh, faceless creatures of unholy trinity Etch in the ruins for all of man to see Beneath this hallowed ground I bathe in the sin of man The lord of the unclean I wait to rise again.

All the hearts that beat will cease The erasing of existence is complete The lakes and seas will turn to dust Under the wrath of a dying sun And the Earth will open up Spitting forth its fiery sludge The skies will burn and the mountains melt And the forests wilt under this spell Infinity has ended now Under the shade of the burning clouds Death for the dead This harvest of vitality Painted behind my eyes in a vivid display The euphoric taste of death's embrace The ominous absence of faith As shadows cascade over everything I welcome this premature fate Nothing shall escape as all light fades away Into the void up above Fighting for breath as we're dragged to the depths Forever drowning in emptiness No one would ever forsee the demise of everything Dark invader return Take me far from the Earth Lift this weight from my chest Lay me to rest Erase the memories Haunting me in my dreams With open arms I accept The salvation of death Every integral piece of existence Buried in the ashes of all that was and will be As eternity's infernally plagued by this venomous pestilence No one is saved When death calls for the dead and all of the worlds end Every entity falls into oblivion This occurrence that I've craved since the birth of time To forever shut this galaxy's eyes

From a womb fertilized in the filth of our kind Spawns this abomination of our sacred design It's torso entwined to their beloved child A parasite feasting from the inside So in the name of god they've sworn to divide This veil of porcelain flesh that masks what mysteries it hides Each organ conjoined intravenously thriving on the blood from one heart beat But blind are the eyes of society and so from two worlds are they destined to be They'll tear them limb from limb Denounce this spawn of sin Condemn this godless twin Feasting upon their kin And as the preacher sings They let this sacrifice begin Let it begin God's wrath illuminates the path Where the razor perforates the tender flesh of innocence Their eyes look onward toward the black Gasping upon each noxious unwilling breath Crave Deeper they dig and begin to reveal The horrors no one would expect to appear That this parasite that they have damned to die Is all that's been keeping these children alive But it's too late for a crimson shade Pours like rain from every vein Still they try to save Knowing their ignorance is all to blame So here they are these two worlds torn apart Martyrs for a god that forgot them from the start And as one final beat thumps from their heart These two cursed souls are cast to the dark

Came to this world for the need to feed Then awakened from an arctic sleep This cosmic creature will reap the cells of every living thing This harvest of life will not cease Until all hearts beat in sync A terrifying contagion released Leaves the rest too scared to breathe Open your mouth to seal your fate We've watched the others change We are not who we say we are The chameleon strikes in the dark Take this creature reap this harvest Feast on what grows of this world Fight this creature the cell intruder Consumed until there's no one left Terrified run and hide The copper wire burns red Scratched across your blood These cells aren't dead Horrified you've survived But the ordeal is not over yet Poison blood bursts to life A mutant explosion that bursts from your head Giant teeth tear from your chest One hundred tongues thirsting for flesh Spider like legs rip out of your mouth Your arms melt off and crawl around Commit this faceless creature to the flame We can't let any of it get away For if it finds a frozen grave Its cells will live to reap another day

An infantile existence Ever evolving despite their ignorance Their hungry minds Feed on any stimuli that they can find But like beasts they remain Until reached by the signs of a time long decayed From out of the void their atmosphere is pierced By words and images lost for thousands of years And though they ask why both species alike They are left to decide who to call the divine These echoes of god whispering in the wind For the flesh they've been shown of the queen and her king Arise chosen sons for the war has begun May the wind have our back as we ride toward the sun For as we collide with their ravenous kind Spilling our blood dying side by side Only there will we see The truth of our beliefs and the culmination of our destiny With dreams of tyranny they slay each servant to the king Salivating above a desecrated enemy Still the battle wages on Fueled by their faith in these visions and words No matter what the cost they defend until their kingdom is lost As these fires dim and the ashes settle once again Our cosmic brethren shall join us in oblivion From out of the void their atmosphere is pierced By words and images lost for thousands of years And though they ask why both species alike They are left to decide who to call the divine These echoes of their god whispering within the wind For the flesh they've been shown of the queen and her king

The Swarm 04:11
LYRICS AND MUSIC BY NECRONOMICHRIST It has become a virus Digitalized inside us A self inflicted sickness Consuming this world we live in Creature of our creation That feeds on information Designed to pry its way Inside your mind's infatuations But what we've yet to learn Its evolutionary curve And now it speaks in tongues Among the vermin we've ignored Our viral dialect intercepted by every insect All we've ever known Bestowed upon inferior intellect And now we lie in this web woven by us Paralyzed like a fly waiting to die For through the sands of time We have closed our eyes to all we compromise Since the dawn of Earth, they've watched our species silently Hiding from our wicked ways, advancing through the centuries Yet the secrets we've kept now transmit and infect These vile pest's intelligence The swarms are flying Casting a veil across the sun While man is dying The creature's time to rise has come Infernal infestation burrows in the eye of hell Captivated by what lies within its wicked spell Absorbing everything, bearing witness to the atrocities That stain the hands of human beings Like moths drawn to a flame, burning with abhorrence For what we've become, it has begun This war between our obscene breed And this swarm of reclamation

A vile portrait is painted before me With rotten flesh adorned to mask What hides within these hollow sockets so obscene and grotesque Billowing smoke from what burns in my chest This pale faced pariah, screaming This is your destroyer My fingernails claw into this calloused hide Exposing every decayed layer of me Each scar I carve describes what lies behind this reflection of mine The flame burning within the darkness spilling from me But I have bled myself dry And with this scarlet ink Draining from my lifeless corpse I've transcribed an epitaph for the man I leave behind A sacrifice of flesh I lay this burning heart to rest Shed of this serpent skin I am reborn Cut from my siamese twin My destroyer Baptized in dissolution Unwavering, I bow to none Embrace my evolution Sacrifice it all to heal the One This apparition obscene yet tranquil haunting me Ghost of the destroyer Consume this disease Bury my harlequin Devour this sin The intimate caress of armageddon It has opened my eyes Peeled back the flesh and peered inside my mind To find that I am all that can destroy me

about

Necronomichrist Massachusetts

Only in the darkest music can brutality and beauty find common ground. Driven by powerful percussion, soul-crushing riffs, and led by one of the most elegantly vicious voices in death metal today. Necronomichrist produces well crafted chaos that exceeds the ambiguity of mass produced metal and yields their unmistakable sound of excellence in anguish ... more
