about

Perdition is strongly based around the written œuvre of Georg Trakl. His poetry, steeped in passion and transcendence is highly recommended. Here we look at the human condition, being drawn into our pyre, looking out over our graves, need this execution be our extinction? Shall we choose this perdition at our feet? Night quickly falls into our burial urns.

lyrics

Perdition

Mankind drawn within the jaws of fire
A roll of drums
Blood red eucharist
Ravens plash in gory gutters
Carrion scented funeral procession.

Perdition
Bells tolling the flight of murder
Black birds lament from barren branches
Night falls into burial urns

An empty grave languid with death
How dark this endless night
Against a countenance of crimson flame
Blood red wound, a darkened chamber
Sweet breath of decay

Perdition
Bells tolling the flight of murder
Black birds lament from barren branches
Night falls into burial urns

Black dew drips from barren willows
Black blood runs from the throat
At our feet, the graves of the dead
Open to our future, our perdition

(Filled with festering sighs, facing our open graves)
