I awaken the servants of misery Inverting the righteous charms Possessing the virgin woodland The glow of infinity emerges from the skies Arisen to capture the lust of humanity Devouring the promises of heaven Merciless magicians A disruption to cosmic cathedrals Welcomed by unholy storms Retribution, so true and lethal No one is spared from erosion You cannot hide beneath the fog You cannot run from the nightmare No imagination can comprehend The force is too bleak No gravestone is passed The raptured angels cry once again Black crown of the macabre You cannot run from the nightmare No imagination can comprehend The force is too bleak No gravestone is passed

I return, to the site of black graves Whereupon they lay in darkness Beneath the broken soil Among the worms and vermin tentacles My rotting treasures, I surrendered you to sleep To gander into obscurity, And there lay my children, we shall reunite in hell For we have not chosen the nether it has chosen our souls to perish The incandescent beams of moonlight Reveal the festering pit of sand Tearing me and stripping me of life I dwell in the sorrowful dreamworlds The memories of the fallen living That persist in the howling gales A guiltless existence is bestowed My mind reaped by a black cloud Visions of my past stolen by darkness A crown bejeweled with obsidian spirits Never yielding to the howls of dogma Dragged to the bottom of an endless grave writhing from torment fighting for my life My soul has been forsaken to serve this earth for all eternity There is no hope in death's grasp only certain doom Straight to the bottom paralyzed by the dark Shackles of roots and thorns binding my limbs The stench of death enters my lungs devouring my body and mind never to return, surrendering to eternal slumber
4.
Once the bearer of life I have forgotten the touch of pity, diminished to the void Scattered through my past, the remains of vanity A torch of haunted fire now feeds my aura Here in this labyrinth of nature, I can augment my spirit To become a bane of presence The black substance of existence is my unbroken coffin An eternal orchestra of suffering Burning like fire Devouring my soul The life fades from me My body left to die A shattered womb gives birth to my being I am now the dancing shadows A beast of the macabre At night I will come to you And tempt you to renounce the dawn Burning like fire Devouring my soul The life fades from me My body left to die I can wither, far from the night into suffering, kingdoms of the night Seven seasons of darkness, watching beyond the trees All the spirits surround me, aging children awaken thee My rage burning like fire Consuming my fading entity Succumbing to the nether This place where darkness prevails Bestowed in the palm of my hand Ripping the light from your eyes
5.
Wait for the calls, the midnight spells Poets of a graven world The sons of shadow provoke us Among the winged witches And marvelous ghostly forms A portal cuts a frail fabric We can hear the screams A triumph of darkness singing sirens of doom Insane creations in the depths of illusion I will go to them, my lantern in hand My sight has healed forever to see anew What dark secrets to ponder The darkness will be seen Nightmarish fantasma I covet the knowledge of darkness so I might Live forever, and on into the void And on into the void
6.
Now is the season of evil The innocent wisdom of the cosmos The pale blue energies transfix me Why is the light so far now? It cannot reach my eyes Morbid comforts consume my thoughts We have all gathered to witness Transformations to behold For all time Will we survive the horror and dread? The pursuit Of fleshly pleasures mocks me I will plague the living eternal But will I ever enjoy the sight of seasons? No warmth to touch, this black domain Dark desires reap my mind For all time Will we survive the horror and dread? The pursuit Of fleshly pleasures mocks me Shackled now to the emptiness I can see it all as transparent palaces Where angels glide through lost corridors Winding into nothingness and eternal shame For all time The light so far

Premonition 07:10
Vision of past and future From beyond the waves of the sky The black haze of demonic tempests Sealed in the chasm, my earthly ignorance My eyes are blinded by the sights of sin But I delight in phantasmic visions A wind, so cold, from the space between This world and the abyss beyond Now it is clear, my destiny To adopt the way of chaotic nightfall To see clearly in the misty limbo A face will appear, not born of halo Rising from the shadows The wings of dark incantation and I can see my misery falling from the heavens Black Iron gleaming in the fog There is no longer judgment Dreaming of forgotten names Where pain and pleasure are one Eyes tearing matter from my useless cadaver I will welcome my own demise So there can be another existence My Wretched form dismissed at the gates At the gates Relentless agony Hidden by the illusion of life I belong to the nether A final sacrifice

Invisible entity, cruelty to invoke Laying waste to our dimension Powerless to resist occult atmospheres An intrigue beyond us all Floating through the vast space A tornado of atomization Constant horror transforms Perplexing my terrestrial sight Not to be seen, but to be believed Will they find what they came for? It is an unknown journey We can only offer our icy tears Never understanding the darkest dominions From where have they come? Another world so distant Whispers and laughter so faint Only the chosen can decode their poems There are no devices whereupon I may trust No truth to be told to humankind A shallow promise of after-being Never understanding An empty shell you shall become Mockeries, so terrifying To comprehend Only the chosen can decode their poems There are no devices whereupon I may trust No truth to be told to humankind A shallow promise of after-being

about

Scytherium Orlando, Florida

Mother Death (2011) was an exercise in nightmarish discovery. As the band's sound began to organically form, the final result of the recording sessions yielded an atmospheric debut opus with a very raw symphonic voice and bold musical statements.

The Midnight Cadenza (2013) is a step deeper into the void, revealing a more intense and melodic barrage of sound.
