All the thoughts I led astray In their half-closed eyes All the skin I crawled into Like a callow prize The sun is down Now turn the lights out Let it drive them mad Mors et vita Let voices scream into the silent night Unhallowed now What is a body to the living? Unhallowed ground Let me inhabit them completely Unseal their soul How they sway in spectral puppetry Receive my presence Something sad in nostalgia for the living When my hate runs deep Trying their ego and skin on for size I become my collection’s life In agreement with our own possession, I’ll never leave The sun is down Now turn the lights out Let it drive them mad Mors et vita Let voices scream into the silent night Unhallowed now What is a body to the living? Unhallowed ground Let me inhabit them completely Unseal their soul Their fate is sealed I turn the lights out I call them down Mors et vita Our voices rise into a single cry One hollow sound This is a sermon to the living On hallowed ground I will inhabit them completely Possessions now

Cutting flesh away Gutting into you Drained at sentencing Running red Cutting guilt away Justice merciless Final sentencing Of condemned Seething agony Crying in misery Twitching criminal Bleeding guilt Capital torture Sadist’s orders Hand of avarice Cut from living sin From the soil where the mandrake spills Severed creeping from the tomb of fallen guilty A rotting hand that lusts to kill again in avarice And resplendent, bathe itself in blood and greed Crawl inside of them, thirsting Until the light of day Stealing from their own purity Blighted shadows The handless corpse in the ground bleeds still His ghost worming with a hatred of the living Darkness spreading like a plague into their hardened hearts Justice cannot wash his rotting death away Crawl inside of them, thirsting Until the light of day Stealing from their own purity, Blighted shadows His soul is gone but his skull pleads still Dead heart beating to the choking of his jury The spectral hand of the condemned clawing at them Grasping prospects of his fortune from the grave Crawl inside of them, thirsting Until the light of day Stealing from their own purity, Blighted shadows

Twice as bright, this star in darkness Twice it lights his way But tonight his body lying, His soul to stray He could see a divergent life Stretching to eternity His thread tattered and frayed One slip of fate and he could die Divide the shroud of eternity No sleep where his soul is going Pull back the shroud of eternity Pool of blood in the light below him Twice tonight he tried to die Twice tonight he fled his grave Soul alight from the inferno Blinded from heaven’s gaze Fatal strategy seeks an apology No matter where he flees Endless waves in the sea of mortality One slip of fate and he will die Come find the path to eternity Cheat fate with a body dying Caught up in his fatal strategies One more hand of fate to deal and die Twice as bright, this star in darkness Twice it lights his way But tonight his body lying, His soul to stray He could see a divergent life Stretching to eternity His thread tattered and frayed One slip of fate and he could die Divide the shroud of eternity No sleep where his soul is going Pull back the shroud of eternity Pool of blood in the light below him

There is something in the aching day That calls to you to sever ties, the honored few you call upon to stay You hold them true, you feel they will not break In their deeds you see the philosophy and the steel Mortal deeds that hold their weight for the grave Resigned, you see their lives - withdraw Fall on severed ties With bonds that bleed, undone they beg to leave You watch your friends in thought and deed all fall away Under the weight of the steel and its philosophy To family, nothing new and nothing left to say Under the lies and grief they turn away There is no bond, on this earth, that your fate can conceal Whatever your creed, let violence... wash away Resigned, you watch their lives - withdraw Fall on severed ties With eyes that weep, bonds, undone now bleed All your feelings in thought and deed you led yourself astray On leaden knees, that reeling falls to earth

Witch's Mark 03:19
A strong mind in a sacrosanct body A martyr lashed to a wheel of pain Genocide in a veil of shadow She’s both to suffer and to blame They seek to absolve their grief Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet The stone circle offers only persecution Whispers each of them a brutal truth They find their pride too cold to swallow In sickened minds, where she has to bleed Their hatred burns ignorant unhallowed She has to suffer their decree They seek to absolve their grief Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet The circle offers only false absolution Whispers each of them a brutal truth We need to follow, or so they say, Another sighting, another mark Innocents tortured, no other way A false prophetic An omen yet to be Their minds are sick Our fate is clear They watch us suffer We’re gonna die We need to follow, we need to pay Appease the sadist guilt of their suffocated minds A strong mind in a sacrosanct body A martyr lashed to a wheel of pain Genocide in a veil of shadow She’s both to suffer and to blame They seek to absolve their grief Blaming her for the all sins they washed away, yet The stone circle offers only persecution Whispers each of them a brutal truth

Deep asleep in the grip of hate Fine souls waiting to be eaten I arise, no other way Slake my sick hunger They don’t know anything Of my own indiscretion Caked in the sand of my domain And their eaten viscera Dive into their veins, Their spines, and their hearts Look helplessly upon me Paralyzed, they’re my feast Dive into their veins, Drive into their hearts In shocked catalepsy Helpless now to stop me Feast of fiends and allies See the mist at twilight Bombing, the daylights black out Leeching until I pass out This is rapture for me Mortar seared mortality Hiss of the beach at sunset Soldiers weeping softly I preside over this feast of stolen glory Pride and dreams now cease to twitch within me Blood and flesh of deceased swollen in me Pull me back into antiquity I’m sick with their mortal hate Their souls are devoid of pity Suicide will wash away My unlife from within Their own monstrosity Has ascended my own dark hunger Man’s line in history Has set me to sleep forever

Ice age is rising, you say good bye Watching another day, descend into night Envisaged thoughts all freeze, then fade away Greeting insanity, you shiver, you pray Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day A chemical elegy that sears the rot away A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you Ice age is rising, you say good bye Watching another day, descend into night Envisaged thoughts all freeze, too numb to pray Greeting insanity, you slip away Endlessly drifting Through the void Without a soul For eternity Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day A chemical elegy that sears the rot away A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you Grip on your soul is easing, as you see the light of day A chemical elegy that sears the rot away A final dawn is bleeding, the sky is split in two A return to lifeless unmeaning, it severs you

Vigil 04:15
We hold the line – is it all in vain? Does one hand bind the other? Falling faster – can we explain Why we choose to die as brothers Darker than darkness this night Born of the hunger they breed Look inward until you see You know that we have to die Like endless dream, their hands come to take you In endless night, left alone we’re meant to die That at least no one else should die this way Never fucking again Close your eyes, we won’t see the day At least we fight aside each other Perfect timing, as the first rays cross the sky We bless the ground where you lay I want to die, want to die that way I think of them beside my vow When I die will they never forget? The future seems so distant now Hold your head to the first rays of the light and know that we have to die Bleeding fast from chilling limbs and praying to be soon enshrined We will fill this gap with bodies they will never break our line Standing fast throughout our vigil until the first rays break the sky Never fucking again

about

everdying Downers Grove, Illinois

Imagine an orgy of early In Flames, God Dethroned, Naglfar and Hypocrisy while Opeth and Dissection jerk off in the corner; everdying is the resulting 8 stringed bastard child. A melodic death band at heart; everdying has no qualms with genre skipping, with songs ranging from black metal to brutal death metal with acoustic passages. No djent, no core, only melodic extreme metal ... more
