In a space without air
Cyclic and ceaseless is the search for justification
Elusive is the object of desire
Sharp and blissful
Adorned by monuments of rust
Ruinous architecture in perpetual decay
Sonnets unfinished and abandoned
An aria with no audience
Their totality amounts to nothing
This ritual strangles us with an iron grip
Imprisoned under uncertainty’s tyrannical rule
Blindly pursuing the impenetrable citadel of arcane knowledge
Lucidity is lost in labyrinthine delusion
‘til the last rotted column collapses
‘til the final etching is inscribed in stone
Lucidity is lost in labyrinthine delusion
‘til the last line of prose is written.
‘til the passion has vanished

Scrying Visions of Agony
03:33
|

|
The silent hour knows only dreamless sleep
The essence of apathy is steeped in the bile of our soulless condition
Sapping our resolution
With each twelve hour turn
Unfathomable eternity
Gazing into the depths of the obsidian mirror
Staring at our shimmering misfortune and regret
The agonizing throes of obsolescence and desolation
Define our every moment, bleak and withering
Pallid countenance
Animosity seeping from the veins
Optimism raped
Befouled spirit
In this perverted landscape, we are destined for hatred
What remains of this desecrated monument?
Are we but the excrement of tradition?

Liminal & Luminous

As the moon floats to its zenith
Celestial symmetry swallows the stygian sky
Gleaming in the empty glade
Liminal and luminous
Seraphic presence encircles his throne
Liminal and luminous
Interstice of existence and unknown
Clarity pierces the freezing fog
Serenity begins to take form
The dissolution of uncertainty
Liminal and luminous
Seraphic presence encircles his throne
Liminal and luminous
Interstice of existence and unknown
Liminal and luminous
Moonlight tryst of body and soul
Liminal and luminous
Eternity unfolds
Motionless dance of death
Bitter winds of frigid silence
The clearing alight with beaming rays
Unveiling the inner flame
The forest lies still
The body lies cold
Becoming one with the soil again
Glacial eyes
Slowly thawed by the burning white radiance
Essence returned to the earth
No longer ensnared in terrestrial prison
Free from desire
Remission from pain
The final glistening phase
Flesh renounced to god
Liminal and luminous
Seraphic presence encircles his throne
Liminal and luminous
Interstice of existence and unknown
Liminal and luminous
Moonlight tryst of body and soul
Liminal and luminous
Eternity unfolds

Ritual Inscription
04:04
|

Corroded chains caress the ankles and wrists
Helplessly writhing in restraint
Tools of the summoning
Serrated blade slips in
Twisted agony, vicious antiquity
Sigil carved into flesh
A sinister aura emanating from the wound
Deciphering each laceration
Ancient codex in hand
Slowly exsanguinated upon the sacrificial altar
Deoculated, head wrapped in gauze
Losing control of your form
Twisted mutation set in motion
The conjuration of abyssal torment
Lifeless form lay in the shadow of the infernal beast
Stained with the original sin
Atonement for humanity
Our nature is bound to abjection
Channeling the quintessence of evil
Tempting the rejection of the doctrine
Sardonic grin
Poisoned by defeat
Lawless miscarriage of purpose, self-induced
Swallowed by belial

Youth in Ribbons
by Revenant Marquis
supported by 20 fans who also own “Ritual Inscription”
Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album!
