1. Revelations
Come with us to the altar
We will show thee the future
That hath been foretold
A future in which
Your god will face the end
And your world
Will find demise
Come with us
Into another realm
And witness
Our revelations
2. The Throne of hell
Behold, the dark throne set in Hell
Constructed of the flesh and bone
Of those martyred for a “Holy” cause
Round the throne were four and twenty seats
And I saw upon those seats four and twenty demons
Clothed in black robes and crowns of bone upon their heads
Drinking from goblets filled with the blood of saints
And one sat on the throne
He that sat was Satan, the devil himself
And he was to be extolled higher than "god"
And before the throne was a lake of fire
Burning brighter than the Sun
Layn strewn before the throne
Was the dismembered corpse of christ
Innards torn from his torso
Limbs ripped away and mangled
His head adorning the scepter of Satan
Round the cadaver were four Beasts
Full of lust for the dead
Taking pleasure in defiling the corpse of christ
The Dark One watched over this with a sadistic grin
Pleased with the unholy acts his minions were partaking in
And the beasts spilled their blackened seed upon the Earth
Spewing forth torment on all
3. The Horsemen
Behold, there was a great earthquake
As the earth yawned
And hell was allowed to rise upon earth
And the sun turned black
As a moonless night
And the moon became as blood
The seed of the beasts was grown
And four creatures came forth
Each one set upon a horse
Power was given unto them
To kill, to rape, and to conquer
A white horse was the first set upon
A hideous creature was he
That desired conquest
Set upon a horse colored of blood
Was the creature of war
Given unto him was a great sword
And the power to steal peace from among men
And the creature
That brought famine and plague
Was set upon a black horse
And I beheld a fourth horse that was pale
And his rider was Death
Power was given unto him
Over all of the Earth to kill
With sword and with hunger and with death
And with the beasts of the Earth
4. the bloodletting
And after these things
I saw four demons
Standing on the four corners of the earth
Holding the four winds
That they should not blow
Not on the earth, the sea, nor any tree
And I saw a fifth demon rising
From the west crying:
"Harm none till the worthy
Have the mark of the beast."
And, lo, a great multitude,
Which no man could number,
Stood before the throne of Hell
They cut into their flesh
Offering their blood to the devil
And all stood round the throne
And about the demons, and about the beasts
And fell before the throne on their faces
And worshipped the Dark God
5. Seven demons and Seven plagues
And I saw seven demons
Fall from the heavens
Each with a horn in hand
Preparing to sound with the noise of ages
The first demon sounded
And there followed hail and fire and blood
With which all the trees were burnt up
And all the green grass was burnt up
Leaving the earth barren as a desert wasteland
And the second demon sounded
Which brought death
To all creatures that dwelleth in the seas
The third demon sounded
And a star that was called by Wormwood
Fell from the heavens
Turning the rivers and fountains into poison
The fourth demon sounded
And the third part of the sun was smitten
And the third part of the moon
And the third part of the stars
Summoning an eternal twilight
The fifth demon sounded
To open the bottomless pit and bring forth serpents
That were made to harm none but the Christians
The sixth demon sounded
And loosed the army of hell,
Which numbered six hundred and sixty-six thousand,
To slay the men of the earth
With fire and with brimstone and with smoke
That rose out of their throats
The seventh demon sounded
And armageddon started it's shift
From the realm of fantasies
Into the realm of reality
6. Armageddon
And darkened clouds began to fill the sky
And thunder and lightning
Bellowed throughout the air
And rain turns to blood
As it falls to the earth and percolates in the soil
The two armies
They gather on a single field of death
Blades slashing back and forth
Hacking away at the bodies
Of both demons and angels alike
Blood spills as though there were a fountain
Of giants spewing forth deep red water
Creating thick and healthy rivers of blood
Flowing through the fields
Bodies fall as quick as the rain about them
Quickly forging mountains of flesh and bone
And then I beheld a great dragon
Rising from the sea
Having seven heads
And the dragon joined the battle
On the side of evil
Destroying all in his path
And the air soured
With the smell of burning flesh
As fire was coming out of the dragon's throat
The angels fell faster and faster
And their feathers scattered the ground
Creating a white blanket over the battle field
And finally the end had come
The army of hell victorious
7. Embers of heaven
And I beheld the glorious field
Of angelic corpses
Blanketed in their own feathers and blood
Limbs strewn about as fallen leaves under a tree
Their heads lie on pikes
And were stood alongside the road
For as long as the eye could see
And the last of the unholy warriors ascended to the heavens
And I along with them
And the gates of pearls
They were unhinged
And their guardian crucified
The golden city
Reduced to nothing but ashes
And the one that sat on the throne
He was disemboweled and dismembered
His holy body burnt
The embers of the corpse fell upon the earth
Reducing it to nothing
Sending it back
From whence it came
Giving it its original form...
Chaos
8. Return to chaos
