Hellstrom's Chronicles (for Tao)

Riotous ritual mating, the shorelines are stained with the milky white squid juice
Gruesome aluminum robots with body parts strewn across the battlefield
Intestines extruding an alien form from within
Discarding the useless pathetic skin husk like a worn out coat

Legs, eyes and all
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis

Ladders and platforms consisting of dead and dying bodies
A seething house of horrors, discarded limbs across the chamber of flesh
Great throbbing masses of energy, within the mound lays the future
Subterranean nurseries, obsolete componentry defoliates the earth

Witness the hideous display of appetite
Exuding corrosive paste from swollen glands
Its body covers over 400 miles and its mouth eats in one year what would feed 1 million
Spreading their wings on their passage to hell as they burn in the flames with their satanic minions

Wasps crush the defenders in huge jaws like czar killing machines
Without the burden of intellect, emotion or individuality
The biggest temptress of them all, throw caution to the wind
Organ extending from his palp, he writhes in a mindless sextasy

For the male the best part of sex is to escape
Puncturing his head, she sucks out the life of her mate
The colorless substance courses through his body with convulsions of a transparent muscular tube
Not much of a heart and no soul
And no soul…

Hone in on the stench of sun-baked remains, wearing his bones on the outside
Digging up human remains on Snake Island
Clawing your way to a feast of dead flesh that has turned to a putrid black slime
Running out of breath and running out of hope and we're all just running out of time

Ghost snakes across the sand
Swarming flies cross the land
Ghost snakes across the sand
Swarming flies cross the land

Reptiles and coconuts or falling sonic booms
Emptying your stomach into your lungs and you're drowning
With a full-length embrace, the mating begins with a pill
A serpentine abduction, a seemingly effortless kill

Now you know what you're worth
Depositing eggs in some corner of the earth
Now you know what you're worth
Depositing eggs in some corner of the earth

Throbbing coils
And snake oils
Legs, eyes and all
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis

Throbbing coils
And snake oils
Legs, eyes and all
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis

Eggs, lies and all
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis

Legs, eyes and a doll
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis

Eggs, I's and all
The shiny mummy sleeps in eternal chrysalis
