The Greatest Gift
02:46
|
|||
|
Deep black shadows penetrating
Make me sane in the worst of ways
Lapping the blood soaked in these floors
I am within my own hell
These dark feelings washing over my mind
Denying my true nature
I will kill for my god
I will suffer
I am flawed
I will destroy all I stood for
Leave nothing behind
Sacrificial offering
flagellating my own flesh
Torturous and blessed cries
I receive the greatest gift of pain

Swallowing The Dead
03:24

Faith in all destroyed
Faith in one resolve
Swallow the guilt and devour
The dead who walk this earthly plane
Faith used as a weapon
Faith is what we share
Bleed your hearts and drink up the sins
You pigs will eat yourselves
Engourged and full of hatred
A shameful congregation
Transgressions mean nothing
With store bought piety
Your faces contorted
To feed effectively
Disgraced
Suffering outside your spheres will never be enough to prove
That you're the ones who take this world and shape it as an ugly tool
If you would look beyond yourselves you'd see the pain in everyone
And maybe you would understand there's more to life than what you know
Of course this will be lost on you
Your shriveled minds will bear no fruit
I scream into a deafening air
Filled with rage, you fucking cunts
You're sick

My curse continues to hound me
Like dogs at my heels
That never seems to tire
This nightmare takes hold of my body
And weakens me again
I wish for just one rest
It won't be granted
Not while I breath
Insignificant beings deserve less than the death they crave
I can't take this anymore
I won't fight it
Painajainen
Faced with desperation I cling to all that I can
See the void before me and it's calling yet again
Reality is blinding me I don't know what is real;
And I can't fucking sleep like this
I can't fucking sleep
Horrors forcing me awake again
I can feel them lingering
In my waking thoughts they drive a spike
And there is nothing I can do
To end this pointless feud
Between my body and my mind
I just want to sleep

A Bitter Open Wound
02:47

Pathetic little worm
You'll feed on me
And I'll love you for it
You speak, I hear but whispers
Of a mounting tragedy
Laying in your eyes
Worthless
Failing
Broken
Survive
You crawl inside
A bitter open wound
You insect, I feel you
I feel you squirming
Pretending you're the saint
Married to self-pity
Selfish grub
You'll feel this soon
Parasite
Sycophant
I hope you suffer

Demon
There is no hope
Left in these eyes
There is no cure
We all suffer together
In Righteaous Sinful Punishment
There is no recourse
For the actions taken
There is only regret
Guilt is our prison
And we are only worthy
Of the dirt we call our grave
Painful
Succulent
Extacy
Misery
Our bodies condemned
To wither and wilt away
Our bounties stricken
Mouths dried for eternity
I've tried to fight this feeling so many times
It never gets better
It gets worse with time
And in the end I know there's nothing more to do
I just have to sit here and wait
Wait here and die
Calling
I hear them calling me
The emptiness inside
The demon starts to cry
Betrayal of all that we once held so dear
I see now, so clearly, I was never there
Demon

Iōhannēs North Carolina
Iōhannēs was a project born out of a need to express and expel the darker parts of the mind. In doing so, the project eventually lost form and traction, and has since been retired. I am still proud of the work, but ultimately the job was done, and the time had come to move on. Thank you to everyone who still cares about this little bedroom project. Much love. ... more

Endless love for Melpomenë and her various projects. Antecantamentum is one of my all-time favourite black metal projects and one I hope to follow for the rest of my life!
