Barren shores of river vile Wretched dead haunt shadows, shattered wild In carmine sky the carrion fly Dormant blood, quick to their cry And now the damned, fight through blood and bile To hatreds edge, all fetid and befouled Over sewer waters slides proud razor prow A specter with blade and spattered cowl Hydra hound of snake black venom Repugnant, vigilant, guard the Acheron Fire-torrent garrote Shadow Kingdom Nine times the noose of the poison woes Onward to bone gates Wall of twitching flesh Saviors nailed to burning pier Their eyes devoured and entrails hanged Crown of teeming maggots, flies Above decayed flesh the betrayed cry Crawl through dread arches Of bleeding, human pillars A screaming, organic machine Writhing, seeping, pain industry
