Twisting Earthen Embrace
02:09
|
|||
Beseeching all I salivate a darkened blood pool
Writhing in a sea of desire I crave you
(Chorus):
Your blood is in my mind
Thy climax I shall find
Gasping as I bathe
In a flesh filled grave
Protruding bones they sever my skin as I hold you
Slicing me my passion it lies wide open
(Chorus)
Blood...
Seed...
My seed is in your blood
My heart ceases to thud
Soothing my distress
Blood soaked and lifeless

As He Wakes
04:01
|
|||
The Beast, his slumber is ending
His dream, brought him confusion
Gasping the beast awakens
Seeing is like a rebirth
Trembling, he tries to stand
Remembers- the many times before
His body, it craves the same again
Energy, his lifeblood from the ice
He straightens, now stands within his cave
A giant, thrice the height of man
A servant to no-one but himself
No solace, a "life" he's always known
Peering beyond the entrance
Of his frigid cold cave
He knows what is out there, waiting
His journey must soon begin
The first step towards the light
His muscles tighten in pain
His system is near atrophy
He pushes beyond the ache
Now walking, he's nearly left his home
The snowfields and mountains he now sees
Wasteland or near enough is the
Place he lives, for near all his time
For this is his second coming,
Just - one - more
Until his cycle changes
And - he - enters...
The phase of his life
Where he must leave his home
And feast on the bodies of those creatures
Whose appearance is akin to his
And they don't... even... know!
Daylight now surrounds him
Impending is his journey
Deep breath, the air is divine
Looks east, where he's destined
Begins to walk, and prepares
For his imminent speed!

The Journey
04:17
|
|||
A Distance, between the cave and the cavern
Near 100 leagues
He must complete the journey quickly,
For he has to re-energise his body,
With the life source of old
Frozen ice shards are his prime fuel
With this in mind, he begins running
As he gains speed, his heart is explosive
Travels downhill between rocks and bushes
Already his cave is barely visible
And now his body finds a new level, a great increase!
The hills are building, a wall of rock and snow before him
A narrow opening approaches fast as he keeps driving onwards
Whistling is the wind past his furry ears
He is almost in a hallucination
But not until he reaches the cavern
Will the complete euphoric condition
Render him a slave to his soul?
Almost there! He made good time
His hunger, to be realised
Through huge woods, sees icy desert ahead
Beyond it- the mighty cavern...
The creature's body
It's very desire (and drive)...
A power so old...
Borne alongside time is his breed
And his ancient biddings and splendour
Fear his 16th cycle...
... The Journey... it continues...

An Ancient Place
03:19
|
|||
He sees the opening of the mighty cavern
The place he always goes every 90 years
A vast gigantic cave filled with frozen spikes
Now the beast prepares to reach ultimate speed
He will move fast, beyond the speed of sound
And reach a higher plane of consciousness
Breaches the entrance, leaves the snowy plains
Body in change, loses normal sight
Views the molecules, within the shards
With his mind, transformation occurs
Changing!
Has no control!
Now at final speed his mouth opens
Yawns vast open wide, stretched the height of him
His mouth becomes like a giant tool
His jaw stretched open wide,
Chin near the ground
Hits the frozen shards, chaos now ensues
Consciousness a dream, nourishment begins...

Ice Eater
02:29
|
|||
Ice Eater!
The huge cave he is in is almost 200 leagues in girth
Though it's insanely huge, his speed means he must move in circuits
As his giant mouth consumes this razor sharp ice
His flesh is pierced and often has shards wedged within it
As he is eating the ice his body's healing
In a dreamlike state endorphins in full flow
Converting molecules to pure energy
Revitalising him again for his nearing sleep...
His giant throat is like a vacuum
It demands ice to be in his system
Even those bits that are wedged in his skin
Get dragged out by the force
And these wounds- they heal fast!
His body- almighty!
And now his eating nears end...
Must return to his home!
Slumber!
Must return!

Nine Decades Beckon
02:12
|

As he travels back, it takes no time
For he is still in his insane highest speed
His soul now refuelled and his body restored
He must now return to his comatic state
Sees his cave within mountainside
Begins slowing down, still in slight altered state
On the journey back his mouth's shrunk in size
Became normal again, now his jaw, it aches
Nearly walking now, verging on the cave
Staggers into his home
Drops down to his knees
As he crawls in his corner
His high mind is now calming
Time is here for the slumber
He lies down and he yearns for it...
... It comes!
Now as sleep ensues the beast is curled up
Within his dark cave, the dreams soon approach
Drifting in darkness, the shapes start to come
A haven of dreams he will soon enter.

A Black Age
03:20
|
|||
There's a black age in my mind
The time impending is what I shall find
My 16th sleep is now in session
My 16th waking implores contemplation
I dream of the humans
"Seeing" things I've never seen
Catching sights from stray airwaves
Even knowing words like that is quite strange
In my waking hours I know of little but pure survival
Never spoken or thought out loud
Screaming and gasping is all I'm allowed
Then there's this place in my dreams
When I can think and feel
Like a being of life and not a beast
But humans I shall soon see!
My 16th cycle
I leave this land
The hunger changes
Crave blood of man
(Repeat)
It's a black age
They've forgotten
15 centuries
Much time has passed
Now... it draws... near...

The 16th Cycle
02:01
|
|||
Time has passed fast in dream state, waking does approach
This time things are quite different
No longer ice is sought
The human world beckons the Ice Eater
Flesh must be eaten, blood must be drank
(Chorus):
Many will die, he must be feared
With his force and speed
He cannot be stopped!
His body does require fresh fuel from human meat
Human race has forgotten
After 15 centuries
The beast now awakens, feels mildly at peace
Although distant memories, he knows what will be done
(Chorus)
He is coming
Waking as you
Are half living
Your so called "life"
Time to die now
Ice Eater... is coming... now!
