Burning Light
04:45

Burning light blinding, rending from slumber
Eyes squeezed tight against the incandescence blaze
Eyelids paling in insignificance fail to shield pupils from the glare
Night once offered solace from weariness
Now despoiled by radiation glow
And stalked by vulturous skulking rapacity the seeds we sow
Despite its perils night still offers
Safety in its shadows - concealment -
From the voyeurism that has become the human condition
Demon of night wagering life
Gamble on loaded dice
Will you roll sixes or snake eyes
Will you survive
Goddess of light sacrifice
Murderous bloody rites
Will you be chosen to survive
Or will you die
From the sun whose rays once gifted growth
Now only cause a blistering deformity
Travel relegated to night begrudging what our ancestors worshiped
Sleep evicted from night's embrace
Relegated to day's incessant blaze
Demon of night wagering life
Gamble on loaded dice
Will you roll sixes or snake eyes
Will you survive
Goddess of light sacrifice
Murderous bloody rites
Will you be chosen to survive
Or will you die

Insect Warfare
02:48
|

|
Spores descending agents of the swarm
Cerberus contending with the coming storm
Borne on zephyrs grim malignant breeze
Heavens rending sentries ill at ease
Man the battlements and meet them eye to compound eye
Arthropod invasion human race doomed to die
Battle raging casualties amass
Infantry engaging as the hourglass
Marks the passage of our waning age
Warfare waging vile insectoid phage
Man the battlements and meet them eye to compound eye
Arthropod invasion human race doomed to die
Artificers prepare the counter blow
Synthetic alchemy to suffocate our foe
Chemicals disintegrate their chitin shell
Guarantee their passage to insectoid hell
War crimes reconciled with imminent demise
Conscience haunted by their echoing cries
Blitzkrieg ending corpses strewn afield
Human kind defending with a broken shield
Distant mass of pestilence descends
Doom impending war begins again
Man the battlements and meet them eye to compound eye
Arthropod invasion human race doomed to die

Ritual Cannibalism
03:35
|
|||
|
Tear apart the flesh
Ripping at the skin
Furiously forged
Covenant in sin
Amputated limb
Seared upon the flame
Shared among the cult
Cannibals became
Rationing provisions for survival of the clan
Wrapped in skins to help preserve the fare
Sundered brazenly by groping narcissistic hands
Egoistic tendencies laid bare
Marked for death
To be consumed
Your blood will quench the thirst of your tribe
Your transgressions become our sustenance
Your end has been ordained
By your miscreant deeds
Victuals have been obtained
Foul communion proceeds

Desiccated Caverns
05:21
|
|||
|
Knives flay the flesh inside
Dripping from the eye
I don't know if I can make it out
The desolated road
Strewn with ash and bone
and broken bodies
Seek asylum for the night
Ephemeral respite
Search for shelter from the storm
Eschew the violent swarm
Desiccated scum
In tunnels under urban slums
Olfactory distress
Detritus fills the emptiness
Desiccated caverns
Ghastly howling winds
Leaving flesh in tatters, shredding skin
Out of sight fresh in mind
Murderously [viciously] inclined
Clandestine yet perilous
Brigandage infests
Desiccated scum
In tunnels under urban slums
Olfactory distress
Detritus fills the emptiness
Desiccated caverns
Ghastly howling winds
Leaving flesh in tatters, shredding skin

annex texas Portland, Oregon
Extreme heavy metal from the darkest depths of depravity Annex Texas brings to life the sounds of desperation issued forth from a dying world
annex texas recommends:
This is the album that rekindled my love of all things heavy. If I hadn't heard this album I probably would never have written my most recent albums!

This is the absolute pinnacle of modern stoner metal. These guys are filling the void created when The Sword started drifting stylistically.
