Otherworldly Subversions Lyrics by Garroted

The Mystic Valley Tapes

2019

So rang the bells of hope and healing
And through all the land did they resonate
Kingdoms rose, no evil concealing
Nor wicked man's folly to castigate
Armies grew lazy without war to wage
Drinking, laughing, sporting, sleeping
Truly saw they no end to this age
'Twas all the greater for the darkness creeping
Whispered fears grew ever louder
Bodies gone to fat began to stir
As dormant forges now floundered
Warriors's preparation was deterred
Iron hearts trembled at the slightest shadow
And martial arts once potent had been lost
Spirited resistance faced a great embargo
Cowering fops raising rusted swords crossed
Shaking hands bore sapphire flags
As cold sweat began to flow
The horizon filled with clouds like rags
And eldritch lightning struck aglow
Across the land did the chaos mount
And what came next was nightmare given form
The black sky cracked and evil poured out
A yawning portal spawning abyssal swarms
Screaming demons and unhallowed ghosts
Flooded the sky and tainted the land
The defenders balked before the foul host
And many fled, their posts unmanned
Open slaughter was their goal
And slaughter they did with otherworldly glee
Crimson rivers flowed around ivory knolls
And dead eyes bore witness to the bloody spree
They drank from skulls filled with blood
And wet their blades on all they found
Innocents choked under suffocating mud
And unholy blasphemies left charred mounds
Yet amidst the tumult an even greater evil
Descended from the portal and with him came damnation
His minions cowered at his approach
And burning steeds paved his way
He bore the weight of power beyond reproach
And all was naught before his fell gaze
His cadre of elites kneeled before him
And reaffirmed their black allegiance
Chattering devils lingered amidst the din
Eager to march as untold legions
The arch-demon brought forth a sinister orb
Its purpose the harvest of human souls
He raised it high and spoke words warped
And glimmer it did with ethereal cold
His retinue trembled as silent energies built
Crackling in the air and staining the earth
So it was that all those killed
Were snatched from the ether and locked in berth
The screams of thousands echoed through the void
And from the sphere flowed to the portal
Muscled knights cheered with blades deployed
As the light gave form to a serpent abnormal
The Great Beast roared, and they answered its call
A dozen pronged heads bellowing at once
It descended from the portal, and the angels balked
For now the voice of doom had sung
Blackness filled the skies
And the tainted earth split
Before an ocean of lifeless eyes
And the yawning of a red pit
So it was that the Great Beast arrived
Glimmering, shivering, laughing, seething
Bearing the weight of impending demise
Ethereal fire its unholy breathing
Assembled legions cackled and screamed
Raising bloody hands and weeping with joy
Feverishly bellowing their blackened creed
Witnessing fruition of the unhallowed ploy
Amidst a forest of blades they sang
Bloody hymns and foul salutations
And they let hang the dead as they
Declared their plot to unmake creation
And yet as they cried of the end
Hundreds died in a moment's span
The sky broke once again
And the angels descended upon them
Bright hammers broke their swords
And fight they did with fury and craft
On ivory wings, flanked by his wards
Their leader charged the arch-demon and with him clashed
