Creeping in,
Sordid little simpletons in a pile of gluttonous flesh
Whirling in a grotesque canvas
Architects of devotion and deviance
with beliefs swamped in lunacy
A castle sealed shut
Swarming in chaos and unable to fathom the madness
Forging illusions grander than thou
Spilling deeds beyond grasp
Endings traced in vivid colors
Dripping from undying growth
With opulence come fumes of decay
A scent of death to inhale anxiously
From the trees burnt out of vapid hunger
And beheaded lineages
The gardeners of Eden
Lie below the waist of the earth
Unable to restore the plunge
Condemning the surface
Desanctify, crowning the eye!
Swallowing thy lungs restlessly
With our innards alight!
Lest we forget how to breathe
For when lands will exhaust
None shall know what to devour
A giant with an open mouth
Exhibits his innards
Filling them with ash
The inert perfumes his fate
Masquerading as they might
Babel towers fall and kingdoms burn
The deformed fruits of ashen vines
Drop dead and crush our dreams
‘‘Tremble and obey’’
As bowels of the earth convulse
And digest the hearts of feebles
Who sought the mandate of heaven
Warring in convex chambers
Deformed faces dance
Mutating their way
Into labyrinthine convulsions
Coroners of Machiavelli
Solely art in darker realms
Let them hear the cries
Of the bright broiling bodies
With buildings set aflame
All achievements crumble
and in the mist of ignition
They appear hollow
Watch it burn and consume its remains
And in the mist of ignition
The powers that be appear hollow
There is no use in fleeing
Such an incommensurable force
Deities, long masticated
Shall not save a single soul
By erecting pedestals
On the ceilings of the world
A fall is impending
Yet creation is irresistible
Bathing in polluted waters
We vomit the dices with which
We gamble with stolen fortunes
Fiends perched from the sky
Revel in amusing sights
Fools served on a silver plate
The order of the spineless
The scheme is intangible
Cogs spin by the thousands
Splitting limbs with delight
And blocking the arteries of life
With lutes and fiddles
Larger than life
Lacing the way to extinction
plucking strings with unreason
Observe this monstrous invention
Observe, for this is our own
Gazing in sulfur
Fetched from lust and envy
The sins we extract from the soil
The gardeners of Eden
Lie below the waist of the earth
Unable to restore the plunge
Condemning the surface

Sculpting the pillars of a castle
Where wanderers lose themselves
Scratching the dust of the earth
To extract minerals and matter
Gold and diamonds turning sands into ornaments
Building a shrine upon vanishing sands
Resting on empty shells…
Eroded and dormant
Sculpting the pillars
Stalagmites pierce the ground and drain the soil
Until shining objects breathe faith into avarice
Sinking enclaves below our riches
Bleeding the earth to elusion
Cover these walls with skin
Lavishly absorbing the sands
So that the jewels be forged
Out of roots despoiled
Cover these walls with skin
Lavishly absorbing the sands
From our roots disavowed
Roaming through the maze
Where corridors bend and deflect
Tilting over frail foundations
Eating themselves to void
Une arche pour les dévots
dont les fondations s’effritent
Ne laissant que texture rugueuse
Encombrant la refonte
S’emparer du charme pour tout condamner
Scratching the golden marrow
Despite destructive harvests
Despite dearth, sculpting on
and the sands keep flowing
Cracking the pillars
Guts eroded and bones fractured
Gorged with gravel
Reclaimed from the lands they rest upon
May we restore what has shattered
Despite destructive harvests
The sands keep flowing
Scratching the golden marrow
Such voracity is boundless
Robbed from their colors
The crops turn to stone
and feed the designs
which enslave the masses
engulfed in adornments
Chasing extinct honors
in unfurling walls
Miners by the thousands
and none to atone
Minus the defilers
Hidden in the black crests
of the frame vapidly devised
by hands buried in clay
The shrine once built
A castle deformed
Cast in soiled organs
That once salted the waters

The Temple of Knowledge

Clouding the towers above
Towering above clouded eyes
A circle of words, worming around oblivion
It preserves light, it engulfs fears
Absorbing all shades, blinding the beholder
Yet no hand reaches for the sky
No sight colors the ashes
Scattered under layers of dust,
An excess of flesh pollutes the creed
As the fables of times immemorial pile
We see no end to the scribe’s endeavor
A senseless lore shall be the death of the absurd man
Devoid of devices but a deviant mill
Through which no river flows
Leaking with flies
The tower grows
With obtuse minds and comforting shelters
The fog does not obstruct
It balms the wandering of lost souls
And below lie plebeians quenched with diversions
Never to notice the might
Never to mourn the confusion
Never to notice the might
A flock of precepts
Swarming in front of fools
Their timeless truths
Boiling to exhaustion
Bathing in doctrine
Sunned to certainty
Even the fool may question the meaning
Of blurred wisdom
Axioms rotting in jewel coffins
Once enlightened by pristine purity
A burden to decipher
An ennui to cherish
But look through the ivory
Don’t you see this shapeshifting temple?
With heights evermore tragic
Is the distance concealing you beneath?

To Self-Devour

Lodged in the crevasses of fading looks
With empty cavities to blind and mute us
These gorgeous depths to linger
Elegantly widened
Imperishable fictions
A model fed with greed and sloth
Indolence condemns and impulse hollows
Those who fail
Those who fail to know their creation
Sucked in the current
Levitating in parts through the insides of this expanding entity
Voracious and virtuous
For all the clusters of flesh laying here
An absurdity glorified
For all the clusters of flesh laying here
None so void
To permeate balance
lodged between goals and restraint
To permeate providence
is to self devour
Choking on the fabric
These robes bury us
Digesting insatiably
The fears that fueled us
A cathedral of flesh and fluids
Revel in images abnormal
These fleshy carvings leaking
Melding lives into a funnel
Ever flowing at odds
Leaking out of the chalice
Never to coalesce
Empty sockets gaze at the past
Recreating failures and mimicking achievements
Impersonating the glutinous mass
In which we now fester
The golden matter from the throne we cast
Melts into the arms of a monster (omniscient)
These empty vessels are one,
a disgusting figure with bright attire
Feeding on itself eternally
With visions of excess
Like a ventriloquist swallowing its tongue
We are drowning in waves of bile
It breeds life into the garments
Of our fragmentary designs
The organs of the castle, intertwined
Their walls thinned to obliquity
Shallow alleys of minced hopes
Upholding aesthetics of disembowelment
Les morceaux de trônes coulant,
Un mirage d’abondance se dessine
et esquisse une source d’une alléchante toxicité
La chute se fait aisément le long de parois visqueuses
Nous laissant digérer sans relâche,
avec la tête hors de l’eau, finement logée dans la gorge des papes hurlants
Dévorant notre anomie…

This album erupts with technical proficiency and head-swaying good melodies that kept me up for hours.

Since Spenser Moore replaced Blackburn I’ve frankly appreciated Inferi far more. I feel that his drumming improves the overall sound of the band a great deal, but it’s probably just a personal style preference. Either way, Of Sunless Realms was a great foreshadowing of the epic Vile Genesis.
