VenoMal1c3 Do you suffer from Metal ED? (Evil Depletion). If your last "conjuring" was just ordering a pizza & watching 'Paranormal Activity' then you're about as Evil as the band Creed. [Projectile vomits].

Queue up "Malice" & let it play, the next 40:17 will get your blood (or in my case Mercury) racing at ~280bpm. Track 2: Wicked. Track 5: EVIL Vocals top off the tank. The final 3 tracks give you reserves. Dial up the volume & embrace the Devil, you know you love it! \m/ Favorite track: Diabolos, Pt.1.

Maleficarvm 05:54
Lets play a game tonight, a game I know you'll love. We'll need a sheet of paper which we'll write our names upon. Now bring the blades about and we'll begin to cut, freshly anointed with our blood, yes now the fun has just begun and oh! What horrible sights we'll see nightmares become reality, this twisted fantasy is waiting to begin! Come on and let me in! It's just a harmless sin, give in, don't be afraid, no don't stop now it's just a fucking game! It's just a fucking game! Tonight, Maleficarum shall conjure Devils and feast on the damned, black arts in vengeance and flame, a spell to destroy what binds the soul to flesh. Tonight, the moon turns red, Eden is burning and God is dead. Your parents are crying, their children are dying, I'm laughing because their souls are mine and oh, what horrible sights we'll see... At last the final stage is set, preparations are complete. The spells are spoke, the curse invoked, a sacrifice is all we need. Our blades are bent our hooks are rent, but we'll work with what we've got. We'll slit their throats and spill their blood on altars made of flesh and bone and rot. What horrible sights we'll see, nightmares become reality, this twisted fantasy is waiting to begin! Yes, this is what we need, a ritual of death and summoning, O' King of Hell, O' Lord of Sin arise, and let the chaos begin! Tonight the sky bleeds red, the graveyard's aflame with the stench of dead The corpses, still burning, from their graves arise bearing the mark of the antichrist. They march into your homes, burning foundations right down the stone. The families screaming for mercy have hope, but they will have none, when they're dragged down ...below. it's just a fucking game! Tonight, Maleficarum shall conjure Devils and feast on the damned, black arts in vengeance and flame, a spell to destroy what binds the soul to flesh.

Curses 04:55
On this night accursed, our feeble flesh transforms through a sinful process, we will be reborn. No, this is not an ascension, but pure acceptance of our basest desires. We are the Children of the Dark. May this night last forever. The beast within us howls madly into the night and we whisper horrible curses at the dawning of the light. A scream of agony, a thousand feral daggers piercing flesh. The hunger grows inside and the lunacy overwhelming The beast inside is gnawing at your skin... Pain, all consuming pain, breaking you and filling you with Rage, driving you insane, clawing at your mind, the endless Agony, will it never cease? Hate, gnaw away with fangs, rip and tear and feast and feel the Lust, as you take and claim, frantically, relentlessly but the Hunger is growing, let it consume you. Did you cry out when it took her? Do you see it in your dreams at night? Awakened from the dark of sleep mere inches from it's grinning teeth, the blood, still fresh, drips at your feet from shredded scraps of human meat. The beast, it knows you smell it's sin, howling horror setting in to feast upon the wretched weakly throbbing chunks of flesh. The viscera is captivating, succulent, yet nauseating. Simply put, you're salivating, retching at the thought of eating pieces of the one you loved and lost to something carnal, but you're starving maybe just a piece, starting with the eyes.... The beast within us howls madly into the night and we whisper horrible curses at the dawning of the light. At last the pain subsides you limply draw your hands from bloodshot eyes. Yet still your teeth and fingers bleed from depraved worship of the meat A disfigured twisted carcass dripping with the fruit of sin Surrounded by your molted flesh, the air thick with the stench of death and carrion baptised with blood You lick the rotted remains from your viscid lips You tear your eyes away and swallow down the longing but The hunger is growing, let it consume you. He walks the woods at night, seeking whom he may devour. The Devil dances in the woods tonight. On this night accursed, our feeble flesh transforms through a sinful process, we will be reborn. No, this is not an ascension, but pure acceptance of our basest desires. We are the Children of the Dark. May this night last forever. The beast within us howls madly into the night and we whisper horrible curses at the dawning of the light.

A starlit winter's night, on a wooded path I walk along; a howl creeps through the forest, carried from wind into my bones. A chill rips down my spine, a maelstrom blasts my eyes with snow. The hands of winter invade my heart and seize my soul. Her very presence fills me with wanton glee, she lifts me up into the night and fills me with her sorcery. Held in her loving arms, but only within dreams, yet I'm obsessed, I'd challenge death if it would prove that I existed. The moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the treetops and below, her shifting figure, levitating in the glow. "A glimpse at last!" I cry, the very vision of her brings my eyes to tears, a longing so rapacious, after lonliness and fear. Tonight we'll dance my darling, beneath the stars, just you and me. Hearts enraptured, arms outstretched, naked 'neath the willow trees. My flesh ablaze with passion, for darling Hecate. Numb to feeling, silent, steeled, all behold my Queen of Midnight. She wraps me up so tight and holds me still into the night. Her dark gaze locks with my restless eyes. Her flesh embraces mine, pale, yet warm and full of life, my goddess so divine, would you be mine She holds me silently for what feels like eternity, but never once did her eyes leave mine. I crumble to my knees, begging her "O' darling please, my goddess so divine, would you be my love?" A kiss... my soul is taken. Her very presence fills me with wanton glee, lifts me up into the night and fills me with her sorcery. Held in her loving arms, from now until my time, I'd never leave until i died which might be just a few more seconds... Tonight we'll dance my darling, beneath the stars, just you and me. Hearts enraptured, arms outstretched, naked 'neath the willow trees. My flesh ablaze with passion, for darling Hecate. Numb to feeling, silent, steeled, all behold my Queen of Midnight. I gave my life to find her, my shadow in the trees. I spent countless night searching without release. Now as my breath escapes me, O' darling please? Dark goddess so divine, would you be my love? Dark Goddess so divine, would you be my love? Beneath the stars, we'll dance together. If love could save us, we'd live forever...

Starless 03:14
Torn from sleep I awoke into a moonless night, gently shaking with every breath I took inside my lungs I lay there for what felt like eternity. I swear there's something watching me... The stillness shattered, can this horror taste my fear my body taken and scraped over a broken mirror, dragged away from the warmth and comfort of the light, into a darkness cold as ice... I've prayed for forgiveness on my knees, with God as my witness I've deceived these ghosts with a promise that I'll never keep it's just so damn tempting but I'm overwhelmed by the pain and the fear, just a taste of what lies on the other side of the mirror where the haunting whispers are drawing me nearer to an infinite spiraling infernal vortex. A dying sun, a black inferno. Radiant night, starless; eternal. And so they carried me on shredded hopeless wings, ever marching toward the deep "God, have mercy!" He turned his head and looked away. "Don't let them take me!" Behind his mask I see a grin. "I don't deserve this!" I lived my life without a sin yet here I lie amongst the damned. Pitching me down under the ice and blood, a broken angel screams "Here is your God!" I am greeted at last by a glimpse of his agony, through the spacial distortion. Contorted with rage, twisted with pain and unending misery, frozen in time, ne'er dead nor alive, trapped inside this starless, eternal void. A ray of light finally crossed my eyes and I crawled toward it sobbing, hoping it would save my life. As we met I looked around me and the hellish sight was gone, a familiar warmth around me as I gazed out at the dawn, but I can't forget, their faces haunt me, every time I close my eyes I've joined them in that hell but I've walked in His shoes and I've prayed in His church and I've carried His cross and I've spoken His verse, but I'm damned 'cause the devil got to me first, God, why is this happening to me... I've prayed for forgiveness on my knees, with God as my witness I've deceived these ghosts with a promise that I'll never keep it's all so tempting but I'm overwhelmed by the pain and the fear, just a taste of what lies on the other side of the mirror where the haunting whispers are drawing me nearer to an infinite spiraling infernal vortex. Waiting inside that starless, eternal void.

I choked the earth from within my lungs, as a sudden chill breathed life back into my charred and blacken'd bones. I thrust a single shriveled hand from deep within this tomb of sand, and laid my eyes upon the remnants of the setting sun I stared in wonder and childish thrill at the visions the moon gently drew on the hill, submerged under waves of radiant colour and beauty. The cold perception and artisan lines, created at will, were simply divine. I nearly wept for the world, deprived of this perfection... The smoke twirled and danced on the wind, a gift from dead embers frozen into the sand. A river of colour, shining from the frost flows down from here where I lay, under the dust. I refused my salvation, that shimmering beacon in the night. With nothing to use but my own two hands, I eclipsed that pale moonlight with sand. Buried again... I long for the end, be still my beating heart. Not answers, not penitence, not flame. Only the dark. [!!!GUEST SOLOS!!!] I had stared in wonder and childish thrill at the visions the moon gently drew on the hill, submerged under waves of radiant colour and beauty. The cold perception and artisan lines, created at will, were simply divine. I nearly wept for the world, deprived of this perfection The smoke twirled and danced on the wind, a gift from dead embers frozen into the sand. A river of colour, shining from the frost flows down from there where I lay, under the dust.

Three Kings 02:23
Who is the man in the mirror, with eyes and soul stained black? His face glowed in the shadow, lit by a familiar shade of yellow. Though I could not turn my head towards, I heard him sigh and speak these words. "If true beauty is to be fair, with my pallid mask, who among you could compare?" A phantom passed through me, terrible and ghastly; furious and awesome as it dashed the mirror to shards. A whisper kissed my ears: "If true beauty is to be fair, who could compare with me, for death is paler" Over and over again and again I tell myself that I did not desire this, it was never worth it. Haunting and terrible this fear is incomparable, but I have not yet lost control. At last my turn to speak, my voice was hoarse and terribly meek "If in this court of fools, two of us are here to rule, who among us is the fool?" "Turn your head and we shall see" Overwhelmed with pure emotion as my screams danced with laughter. For in the space where his face should be, there was only teeth. Over and over again and again I tell myself that I did not desire this, it was never worth it. Haunting and terrible this fear incomparable, but I have not yet lost control. Who is the man in the mirror, with eyes and soul stained black?

Frailty 03:55
Speak out your name and step inside a circle drawn in white, stained by tears and blood illuminated by the candlelight I'll bring you pain, I'll bring you hate, I'll bring you true despair, I'll bring you thoughts and whispers from a voice that isn't really there yet you'll know my name; know exactly who I am, and exactly why I came so place your frail hands in mine, and together we'll explore the thin line between pleasure and pain. I'll tell you every lie I can to eat away your pride, and when your will is weak I'll tear away your soul and let you die. So join me and denounce what you are, to the faces here gathered beneath the black star. We'll partake of venom and poison within, baring your soul, drinking deeply from sin. Eat of my flesh and blood, as though you would the son of God, let virulent wine flow through your veins, devour me and let me in Twisting and turning while ichor is burning inside of you, screaming you're clawing away at your eyes. Betrayed and broken, you belong to me, I'll never let go, I'm finally free To revel in excess and depravity, to curse all who beckon with foul sorcery. I'll feast on the venom and poison within, devouring their souls, drinking deeply from sin. Eat of my flesh and blood, as though thy would the son of God, let virulent wine flow through your veins, devour me and let me in Who are you praying to, my dear? The only God in here is me. Admist the weeping and gnashing of teeth, here in the darkness we wander forever.

"Where is the man who claims to be King, He who covers in silks and the finest of rings? Where is this man who claims he's conquered the earth? Destroyed the mountains and valleys for stone in his hearth? Who burns the forests and withers the floods? Making ashes of kingdoms and rivers of blood? What father would covet such spoils as he's won, drink deep from the river and leave none for his sons?" There rang out fury from a heart filled with ice: "It was I who poisoned the well! I put the sword to the wolves and dashed their skulls on the ground. I gave no quarter as nations fell, I claimed the throne of the tyrant in the kingdom of hell." "Have you nary a penitent thought? Not shred of remose for the chaos you've wrought? A prayer for the wounded, a tear for the meek? Or is power and wealth the only pride that you take? Have you truly no love in your heart? No ambition save murder, no passion for art?" "I am become a perfect Being of Light, drinking blood from the children in their cradles at night. I devour life. Feast your eyes upon my work and tremble." Then may you find some comfort there, in the arms of Satan. "It was I who poisoned the well! I put the sword to the wolves and dashed their skulls on the ground. I gave no quarter as nations fell, I claimed the throne of the tyrant in the kingdom of hell."

I found myself the lord of a valley where a host of shadows gathered Their masks delight, with laugh and loving embrace But desire never once danced on their faces Mere mirrors that echoed my aspirations I knew at once I had fallen from grace, and all the warmth in the valley drew away from this place The faces once gay, filled with anguish and distorted Vacuous vessels to fill with ambition But emptiness was all I knew So when the shadows collapsed I was hardly surprised With naught of my soul left inside, what was there to divide? I waited and watched as the illusion shattered, hopeless and haunted as the days turned to hours, my resentment grew deeper with the unrelenting silence and the passing of time, filled with rage I screamed my hatred at the sky. And my Father said, "Son, are you so blind you cannot see beyond the thorns in the crown I have bestowed unto thee?" Spare me your spite and indignity, I didn't ask for this, I didn't ask to be a King A sinster wind howled and chilled my skin, beckoning horrible silence again. My pride is shattered, my will is now weak, naught but a vessel, a chalice, a symbol, a beast. "My perfidious child, no matter what you believe, your heart and your soul now belong to me. For every moment in sin, for every vice and deceit. You will bend beneath my will. You will dance on my string. You are naught but a Devil's plaything."
