One of four, blackened spirit north
Abhorred in ignorance, revered in truth
Reveal all, rhyolite darkened stone
Bitter truths cleanse falsehoods sweet
Witness all, that which now you are
All you fear, condemn, despise
Stare into mirror of midnight hue
Grasping providence of Stygian abyss
Smoking Mirror
Seek the holy serpent, feathered with iridescent light
Battle kin in duality, manifest with blood
Possessor of sky and earth, one of four
With undying essence, teach contempt for the light
Struggle sanctified by those kingly and wise
Revered in truth, know thyself
Pillar of reality
Possessor of sky and earth, one of four
Voyager seeking providence, know for that which you desire
Only darkness illuminates, in there he lies
Possessor of sky and earth, one of four
Bring forth the future, born in agony and brutal strife
Witness new dawn forming, rising from the ruins
Revered in truth, know thyself
Pillar of reality
Possessor of sky and earth, one of four

Turquoise Prince
And Our Lord
God of sun
God of war
You chase the
Moon and stars
Without you
There's no light
You sustain
You give life
Father of
Existence
We feed you
With our blood
With human
Sacrifice
Blood for life
Climb the fated stairs
Drunk and dressed for death
Now to give your blood
Drive the sun onwards
Slice open the skin
Reach inside the chest
Torn out beating heart
Held towards the sky
Your temple
Exalted
Crimson steps
Blood and war
We carved the
Sacred stone
Image of
Your sister
Lifeless and
Dismembered
This serves as
Our warning
Through bloodshed
We worship
On this mound
Of bodies

Most powerful
Most feared
Dominion over the living and the dead
Exhausted
Grimacing
Cross the threshold
Between three worlds

Taste of these seeds
Veiled realms, at last I see
This, it is ours
Sacred plant of white flower
Bless the seeds, bless the snake
Men and gods communicate
Dreams fall around my eyes
I am it and it is I
Gods, speak to me
Teach me of your will
Perform your miracles
Entrusted with this your gift
These truths, this power
Void of time or life or death
These seeds, this blossoming snake

Three days
Beneath the fifth sun
Forsaken, proud
Red tears of tainted blood
As embers die

A thing of vicious beauty. A joining of minds from different planets, yet they still revolve around the same visceral star. Amazing.

I'm deeply saddened that it took me until Sept. 2022 to discover the existence of this band and album. How could my music friends have let me down so thoroughly? How could I not have just sensed the presence of this masterpiece and channeled it from thin air. Absolutely crushing desert sludge, with groove that makes you want to bang your head...against a rusty nail on a prairie fence post.
