Barren Shores of river vile

Wretched dead haunt shadows, shattered wild

In carmine sky the carrion fly

Dormant blood, quick to their cry


And now the damned, fight through blood and bile

To hatreds edge, all fetid and befouled

Over sewer waters slides proud razor prow

A spectre with blade and spattered cowl


Hydra hound of snake black venom

Repugnant, vigilant, guard the Acheron

Fire-torrent garrote Shadow Kingdom

Nine times the noose of the poison woes


Onward to bone gates

Wall of twitching flesh


Saviors nailed to burning pier

Their eyes devoured and entrails hanged

Crown of teeming maggots, flies

Above decayed flesh the betrayed cry


Crawl through dread arches

Of bleeding, human pillars

A screaming, organic machine

Writhing, seeping, pain industry
