The Artifex Lyrics

Abbath 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!

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
