Crimson flames pierce through the horizon
A proclamation of victory
Gleaming, beating, the rays of Sol foretold
Sanguine fog permeates undiluted
Lifting ashen eyes blinded by the mist
The earth yielding, saturated in smog
This medley of memories cast in steel
Disjointed from our peripheral extinction
Share a warm embrace with our blighted sons
Their simper gleams through the blaze
Illuminate past the eclipse of war
Only the embers betray
Restored soul ablaze
Engulfed by insurgent light
Into a new dawn we enter
Engraved by the edges of stars
Clamor into the tomb, yet no echo sounds
Sacrifice rooted ground, now porous
Idle bodies en masse, solemn vows
Altars consumed in veils of hallowed soot
Restored soul ablaze
Engulfed by insurgent light
Into a new dawn we enter
Engraved by the edges of stars
An ethereal specter
The inferno consumes our view
The immortal epoch is come
An enduring storm of light

Depletion
11:19
|

|
Suspended in trance, just out of reach
Harrowing tales of what lay before
Eagle and serpent in ashes intertwined
Under the runes of all dying gods
Immersed in the vicious waves
Permeating overtones reverberating
Shallow breathing from one mirage to the next
Desolate specters, torches of hollow hope
Cursed unions, rotting ties
Passions snuffed by the all-devouring sea
Burrowing, tunneling through the poisoned ground
Ancient roots exposed, caving in under saturated bark
Hammer-struck firmaments effortlessly collapsing
Folded and contorted in a flood of hatred
Rising alone, throat empty and dry
Ears ever ringing from the thunder
A shrill chorus of bells
Perpetual resonating terror
A sonorous declaration, absurdity enshrined
Cacophonous eulogy, an expression of grief submerged
Karmic eviscerations encased in walls of doubt
Tangled within limbs of corroded verses

Into the Mist

An ancient ghost
Consumed by grief
Absence immutable
Ascendency, into the mist
Tormenting phantoms of solitude
I’ve seen our world
Crushed by the weight of words
Mourning again and I refuse to wake
Buried in a tomb of remorse
Tonight we’re gasping for life
Let us sleep
My eyes upon you
Withering wooden shrine
The fire rekindles when we die
Ascendency, into the mist
Tormenting phantoms of solitude
Once again we will meet
A sanctuary revived
Our eyes entwined
Withered mounds of ash
This pyre consumes our sorrows

Astral Tears
05:47
|
|||
|
Altered passage, besiege my darkness
A floral burst into the night
Blasphemous resonance
An affront to the artifacts
Pale structures entice me
Into your cold embrace
Seething weaponry
Your festering gaze
Heaving stones of antiquity
I carry you into the night
Exalted imagery
A future of ruins
Heirs to the sons of steel
Mighty towers of elder rites
The toiled earth upon which you ascend
I've held the infinity of all this power
A planet of wisdom within my blood
The essence of forgotten beings
Cascading astral tears into the sea

Starcrossed
09:12
|
|||
|
Through fallen leaves I have set my sight on you
All these dreams now seem so distant
A faint vapor from my frozen skin
Your sigh elicits warmth
Like a memory from a time without pain
My heart is vanquished
And my spirit deceased
This present longs for a bygone time
The oneness of our braided paths
A season of bounty everlong
With our spirits embraced
Surrendering to this cruel fate
Longing eternal
Birthed asunder
Starcrossed heart
A system bursting with remorse
Embalms my body with torrents of ice
Divided equinox of solitude
Infinite mourning
Through all these sorrows that life has begotten me
As I dissipate into the fog and infuse with specs of rain
Painless transcendence, ephemeral loss
This fleeting existence, let me vanish
In a cosmic moment together here we are

Longing to Ascend
10:10
|
|||
|
As I search for the truth, domain of reverence
As I relinquish my autonomy, gazing everlost
Beckoned into the fog
Icons forge
Succumbed by the aura
Ephemeral treasures
My spirit refuted
The pain everlasting
My being under siege
Breaths of an old dawn
Pour through me
Whispers of ages gone
Exalted anew
Fading essence adrift in the wind
Molting my intimate fears
To be rekindled with an ailing memory
A time where glory was sought through bravery
A home in the mountains, where no one calls your name
Pure isolation
I strive to reclaim my wilderness
Oh, the subterfuge
Crestfallen synergy
Chaos breeds from one remnant to the next
Seeker of spirits
Of hallowed beings
Ripped, behexed, infinite forsaken vestiges
Roaring will
Unfathomable metaphysical combat
Forever numb and beaten
Perseverance in struggle
I forge this new beast
Roaring will
Condemned to suffer
Searching for freedom
Ensnared In this savage terrestrial void
Longing to ascend

Son distraught take heed
Drawn toward descent
Crawl upon this ash
Lost control dissolved
As we gaze upon our tattered sails
Nothing but cinders cloaking the infertile ground
As we march towards the empty heavens
Locked in eternity, sorrow has befallen my spirit
Though the land had turned bleak and barren
And man’s heart has been depleted from benevolence
Heaving stones of anguish, prepared to grieve
On the cusp the verge of selflessness
Commemorate our eternal undoing
As we eradicate all boundaries
Bid farewell to the shadowy facade
This chorus of bells splits the sky
This dreadful flash of light turns the seascape restless
Our wooden hearse claws forward through the roaring waters
With a leer of ascendancy, an instinct of domination
This ark festinates swiftly offshore
Father, distraught, forsaken, collapsing
Upon this ash poised for suffering
Spurned
Misanthropy unshadowed
Strength in none
Forging upon toppled ruin
Carried by glacial waves
Crimson flames pierce through the horizon
An empty breath scatters over this dominion

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
