Best song on that Spawn of Possession album ...


Do you wanna some of the most fucked up lyrics ever?

.. it's about HBB

Sleeping pills can keep one drowsy, shut out the angst and feel but nothing
Yet to find total closure for terrors of the past, a saddened man now entered the hospital at last

Ninth door to the left, laid all answers to what had kept him drunk for all those years
A gently knocking but no answer, hesitated for a second then turned the knob and stepped inside

In front of him a well made bed, in it a woman sleeping, he pulled up a chair
So fragile and so helpless, he took her hand and held it and whispered in her ear

Edward:
"My dear Ms. Sinclair, you are my mother and a whore of evil"
"How could you leave me there in that old church, why"

"My first vague memories of Father Dorian and me on my knees"
"He stole my boyhood early, him and the other priests"
"While preaching I was dirty and needed to be cleansed"

"Baptized my young face with soggy semen every evening while tears ran"
"Alternated with violent whipping in God's name, I was a child of shame"

"Dorian, he sodomized my weak and childish body"
"The cross went inside my ravished rear end and bent me open"
"Those yellow teeth still haunt my dreams"

"Caged from daylight inside a cellar, he kept me locked up ‘til pleasure he craved"
"I know God's light is shining but this molested soul will never see a heaven that I am certain of"

"My dear Ms. Sinclair, you are my mother and a whore of evil"
"How could you leave me there in that old church, why"

"Then one night I noticed he'd forgotten to lock the doors and I saw my chance"
"I sneaked out and ran off, foggy air, morning dark, the grass was wet"
"I'd been there for so long, not sure of my age, the wicked Father D. may he burn in hell"
"You must die oh spiteful bitch, you put me there."


Slowly she opened her eyes and stared at him silent at first
Felt she was squeezing his hand, the wrinkly old hag

Ms. Sinclair:
"My dear boy, my dear Edward let me tell you of your past"
"Please son ease down, sit down and listen to me"

"I was born where you grew up, daughter of Father Dorian"
"His line of blood runs deep, deeper than you can possibly imagine"

"Night after night he robbed me of pride"
"Pleasing his need, a child of his breed that never could smile"
"Instead of playing with a dolly I had to play with him"
"In my mouth I can still taste his salt veiny skin"

"Barely fertile yet daily raped, his holy seed"
"Finally my girly womb managed to impregnate"
"My father, my lover had now made me a mother"
"As he delivered my baby I wept to God"

"I left the church right after my baby boy was born"
"I was replaced by my infant to be my father's toy"
"That toy was you dear Edward and I'm glad I left you there"
"Our Father's love for his children can never be compared"

edit: moar storytime ...

Heavily secluded from all but faith, a family in hiding from the world
Firm praying, blind loyalty, reciting words divine, from the eldest to the youngest one
Their sheer belief in the son's return, if not stayed true, in the abyss would burn

The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture
Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven
The apparition, her appearance was so real
Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally heard

On a humid spring evening when the idyll couldn't be more perfect
Out from their flower garden, through the blinders came an overwhelming light

They gathered on the porch and stood and watched in awe
Angelic deity, so clean, like the purest dream
Their fingers laced together, as they dropped to their knees worshipping
Happy pearly tears, oh such beauty lives

Sweet angels dei look up on me, the apparition spoke with a silky yet whirring voice of wonder
You have been faithful to the omnipotent, I come to grant you a challenge of life
Time to show your true worth to the Lord

A paradise awaits the few undoubting
To measure up and prove them self abiding
Fulfill the needs of dominus

Then it disappeared, the unearthly seer, left the witnesses impaired
Now they knew for sure that praying was the door to his holiness' embrace
The parents and younglings went inside and began chanting pages
In front of the altar that they had built next to the tepid white tile store

The apparition, she came and gave them hope
The apparition, why would she dupe, poor the people thought

Their black bound bible got scrutinized, inside the father's head a voice would rise

Which said
An unbeliever (the filthy child) among your flock (I order you to punish)
Your scrupling daughter (that whoring freak) is against us (and make her bleed)

He yanked her arm and pulled her outside, shoved her to the dirty wall of the tool shed
While hearing the apparition
Whipped her good 'til it got messy, grabbed an axe he was steered by frenzy
Just do it the voice kept ranting

As he cut away his little girl, someone walked up behind him screaming begging
Cried in panic
He turned around and saw his loving wife, without a blink he then knew to attack her
Voice kept praising
Feeding her the hatchet as the apparition kept applauding the spouse's onslaughter
Limbs was flying
The only child remaining was his body who saw the whole thing from the kitchen window
Shocked in terror

Then the voice said I shall appear, you have proven yourself worthy
Bring me the last life of your family
Called the boy out then came the light, there it was the apparition
Reached out for his traumatized son's small hand
Free from sin you'll come with me

The apparition, a messenger of the eternal scripture
Phantom of shine, disembodied and descent of heaven
The apparition, her appearance was so real
Without suspicion, all the prayers of the family were finally

The apparition changed form into a contorted creature
Held the child in its bosom and vanished in a laughter
The father now roams around the little flower garden
God's work he did it with pride, the final lock on the gate is now open

Nice. My list would be quite similar, except I’d have Avzhia and probably Sargatanas on there. Perhaps instead of the bottom two. Blackened Images is sick though, as is Ad Interitum...

Process is awesome too, but I'd probably rank it fourth after A Perfect Absolution.
