Crucible of Vitriol by Erebus Enthroned Lyrics
From the smoke of blood in the crucible of vitriol
A simpering, eyeless countenance, a ghostly intimation
Of the hallowed and harrowing one of derision and awe
Whose tongue speaks solely of katabasis
'Neath eminent Luna exsanguinated
Illuming the dark grail: moated with tears
'Neath radiant Sol: begrimed to black
As flame upon the feeble flesh scorches and sears
Blood smoke billows... 'neath flesh carved pillars
Now drink of the dense waters of transubstantiation
The crimson ocean surging from a widened eye
Devour the immense corpus of breathing tomes unwritten
The circle, sealed and smashed, the beginning is nigh!
The crucible floweth over with the ruby elixir
The taunting, interrogative mirror of the shadowed self
Impaled upon the angles, distorted, dancing violently
Entwining in the thorns of all becoming!
'Neath radiant Lucifer, ever emancipated
One star among stars, crowned in consummate lux
Upon the crest of the heaving earth in the womb of the blood mother
Her heart unfolds forever, perpetually in flux
Blood smoke billows... 'neath flesh carved pillars
Fucked by the dead in my dreams
In distorted clarity, now entangled
Upon the crooked blade tongue of the beast
Assailed from every angle
From the ever flowing blood streams
Pooling as gates, herein and yonder
The bridge between the abyss and the undone seams
On broken limbs do I wander
Along the road paved with smouldering skin
For but a glimpse of the spiralling womb
Illusions of appearances dissolving therein
And writhing in their tombs!
Visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem
A simpering, eyeless countenance, a ghostly intimation
Of the hallowed and harrowing one of derision and awe
Whose tongue speaks solely of katabasis
'Neath eminent Luna exsanguinated
Illuming the dark grail: moated with tears
'Neath radiant Sol: begrimed to black
As flame upon the feeble flesh scorches and sears
Blood smoke billows... 'neath flesh carved pillars
Now drink of the dense waters of transubstantiation
The crimson ocean surging from a widened eye
Devour the immense corpus of breathing tomes unwritten
The circle, sealed and smashed, the beginning is nigh!
The crucible floweth over with the ruby elixir
The taunting, interrogative mirror of the shadowed self
Impaled upon the angles, distorted, dancing violently
Entwining in the thorns of all becoming!
'Neath radiant Lucifer, ever emancipated
One star among stars, crowned in consummate lux
Upon the crest of the heaving earth in the womb of the blood mother
Her heart unfolds forever, perpetually in flux
Blood smoke billows... 'neath flesh carved pillars
Fucked by the dead in my dreams
In distorted clarity, now entangled
Upon the crooked blade tongue of the beast
Assailed from every angle
From the ever flowing blood streams
Pooling as gates, herein and yonder
The bridge between the abyss and the undone seams

Along the road paved with smouldering skin
For but a glimpse of the spiralling womb
