SODOMIZER II

by Pillars of Autumn

/
1.
The shadows cry out, emerge Bare witness to my rebirth Years I have waited My soul suffocating To think that my feelings were poison Though I have slept with defeat, I have sharpened my teeth Waiting to embrace the chosen. Open your eyes Read through the lines And know that the tale is far from embellished A world traumatized, a serpent's demise How foolish they were to believe we were gone The visions call forth through the deafening silence. We'll rip out the tongues of all our usurpers. And cut the throats of false prophets A warning to all false gods

The Hunt 03:42
Now, Embrace the union of lion and the lamb To hold so close, what matters most Nothing will undo these plans Moving under the looming eyes of night By unwavered force, I regale these ghosts With acts of unending madness Run and hide, there's no undoing the bindings Bite and thrash and gnaw, The prize I seek is far from inviting No one should die alone, The walls now speak of the anguish that's tainted this home Here you'll lie, always to be beside me The thrill of watching you run, only satiates the beast inside me. Far from insanity, the artist that dwells in me Has captured you perfectly, an eternal image Laced with impurity, my hands do not see mercy Covered in crimson red, fixated with anguish Here, we dance through these cursed, winding halls In fear, we will no longer suffer alone Suffer alone Now, let's bring a close to this game of cat and mouse Your coming was foretold, in the echo of these souls I have taken hold Believe I will make you believe in me
3.
The Witness 04:18
I did what I had to do to you Limb from limb you lay strewn apart Intrusion, confusion Now run little rabbit, run To sleep with my demons Now look what you've made me become My fingers caressing, the cold of this lifeless form Prying eyes taunt and torture At these hands, they are painted crimson They dine with disorder, O'God why’d he have to die It’s no surprise That you'd slip up A failure who'll never be saved A cursed existence Only destined to be depraved Until death do us part An impression sealed in disaster This primal lust, your one true master You know not what dwells within A date with death is sealed As the prey scamper and cower The devil makes a deal The predator shall be devoured. It is insane To think that our story will see such an ending Primally enslaved Our debt to death shall never be paid Why does God give them the gift of life And curse me to take it away I refuse to meet the gallows I refuse to meet your God I refuse to meet the gallows I refuse to meet your God It is done, recluse in shadow Follow my voice, we'll see tomorrow
4.
A monster in man, the antichrist You are the one being who'll be my undoing Mirror my pain and cast away any belief that you've sunken your teeth in me Without me, you'd be lying in gutters, a pawn to your urges Without you, a figment, a concept beyond comprehension Get the fuck out of my head This fate I suffer is a cruel metaphor This is a curse That sees no relief It threatens to tear through my heart Without you, a fear, an architect of unholy musings Without me, destined to this misery in bleak isolation I am all that you are We will never cease to be apart Pessimistic endeavors will bind us, untethered the creeping of all carnal pleasures
5.
Now I seek an end To machinations that feast and fester Inside this hollow mind of mine Gnawing and gnashing for one grain of Sanity, it poisons me, devour what hope I thought once lived in me The artist in me no longer dreams The souls I reap will not make me complete I seek the one, my everything, the last bastion of hope that lives in me The devil that picks his teeth through me, an obsession that's slowly raping me Silence in dreams, awakening, sever the ghosts of my past doings Pillars of pain, an endless grave of all the innocent lives left to waste away The deafening screaming will come to pass Let go of sorrow, it never lasts You are worthless Devoid of purpose Continue searching As your demons surface Bloodlust, you'll never find love Of roses and dust, The true nature you must embellish Now I see, you're taunting me, A fabled, fleeting memory To covet and hold, the beast lurches forth To crumble the hope, pale visions erode And yet you say you're all I need, yet usher me to the baying of sheep The catalyst (I’m all that you need) of true misery (Listen to me)

The Optimist 04:03
Oh, what perfection The flesh and the form An angel befit of the maestro's design You are my light and I am your requiem Of all things divine You are the only one To bask and to play with such untouched brilliance To cower and wait This obsession devours me The eyes of God know not what has grown in me I suffer and plead for the end to the misery Little lamb, you've given me purpose No longer shall silence embrace us We'll finally see an end to this reprieve, deceive With her love, this pain shall come to pass With her love, this pain shall come to pass You see her there, alone A precious vessel that is yours to take Beautiful visions of love To call your own She knows not what she is A vessel, a concubine for all of our sins Oh, what perfection The flesh and the form An angel befit of the maestro's design You are my light and I am your requiem Of all things divine You are the only one I’m taking back what’s rightfully mine My purpose is not without reason
7.
The master, the mistress, the innocence left Seeing fruition to one's divine plan All of this pain just to be with you I was only doing what I had to At last, the perfect feast that’s bound by the wrists I’ll take what’s rightfully mine, for the girl will never be missed Liar! Deceiver! You're a madman, courting oblivion Realize there's nothing to fear Be silent my love, the beast draws near You're the reason for my whole existence Can't you see you're a fool? Convincing yourself that I could love someone like you Please, my love! I have scorched the earth just to learn of your existence Recoil not, you will come to understand that you are all I needed Selfish repentance, empower's defiance Guilty and pious, sick is the lion Am I no longer dreaming Fuck you I should have never trusted you I just wanted to lay with you Draped in the hell that you put me through The muse has made me the fool Paralyzing, the end draws near, with fate and destiny entangled Hypnotizing, the cold of death, the feeling only once thought fabled It is absurd That the artist would be felled by his own creation Falling, the rabbit hole closes as the beast ceases breathing My love, what have you done Silence encases me A fitting tomb for all my memories Am I no longer dreaming Am I no longer dreaming Obsession was the answer Now death is our one true master
8.
Here I lie In this pool of red, awaiting my last breaths, seeking the final end And yet, is there nothing more to be said About the lives I have taken, the things I regret Was there nothing more but this mere imagining I wrought forth upon a world lay sleeping and bare What am I to say? That my musings were pure Their pain for my pleasure, was it not the existence befit of a God Did I sit too high atop the throne of ambition? Flying too close to an unforgiving sun It placed its knife in my gut. I screamed forth Why Was I not befit of your love The beast that lived within me now slumbers, its claws and teeth too far away to brace this clarity I see clearly the depths of the depravity I reaped forth from the tit of innocence Once blind but, I see clearly, your portrait in my mind O'How the walls of this empty home scream the names of women I have saved Not saved Silent no longer I was merely a pawn in God's game He wishes me to suffer in vain as the villain of a story so cleverly plotted out for me An artist truly worthy of the name This painting I so painfully ripped from the pits of my soul now spill across this cold barren floor And I bellow out, what was it all for What was it all for

about

This album is a fleshed out continuation of our 2015 EP, which see’s the story unfold in its entirety.

"The world has a way of convincing itself that the boogeyman isn't real, and for a moment, it seemed to be true. Yet, deep within the seedy underbelly of a city long forgotten, a great evil has re-emerged. Sodomizer II is a viscerally pummeling experience in quality and concept, intertwining the psychological depth of the human condition with the vast unknown of the criminal mind. Brutal and breathtaking, this album is an experience of love, loss and liberation, not only from one's deepest primal urges, but also from one's true self. Bear witness to the madness and heed his call. The Sodomizer lives once more."
