Auri sacra fames by few imagined, by majority derided, here is what you deserve, from a long time of raping, exploiting and assuming yourself as a Prometheus. Your wings are now melted, the arms severed, but the hunger still to be satisfied, although after an Eternity of dyspepsia. Crippled being! Rotten, putrid soul! You, who can only ejaculate betrayal and venoms. Exhausted blood, that even worms would disgust, flows richly out and escapes from your digits and orifices. A feast of corrosive aridity. Congesto pauper in auro the gold now transformed into lava and plague, your abundance. You, god/scarecrow by ten worlds! Veins are about to explode everywhere, while hordes of owl-faced demons riding black wolves are breaking apart the soil and spitting rivers of spiders Acherontia Atropos are singing in celebration on the roof of the temple. The ceremony begins. A paralytic King Midas is leading, and the chained mass of humans, prone to blind adoration, is preying while vultures are devouring their entrails. The altar is in flame. The windows crumble. Dead empty vast oceans cross the lowermost threshold. Etiam periere ruinae.

Ixaxaar 21:56
In the sunshine after the rain the mystic woods seem to darken around me, and the silver grey ancient bridge, brings me to unearthly mirages. A hissing jargon awakened me, aghast spectator of an antediluvian terror. Chthonic beings entering reality, pernicious untold sermons by grinding teeth and tongue-vomiting yells. Former humans writhing like wounded blind-worms, pushing out wavering tentacles from their unravelled carcasses, a pestilential snake-like scent in the air. My heart is near to implode, for I have just felt the chill of Death and that shapeless, formless dread of the unknown, endlessly worse than Death itself. But the ebony portal is awaiting Vestigia nulla retrorsum. My destiny is beyond the gate, into the charming strident void. Farewell! Respice finem. I, and the longed secrets of the ancient seal drowned beneath the oceans and buried into the heart of the hills. Beware of the shrouded Ancestors!

All music and lyrics by THACLTHI. There would also be our cover/reinterpretation of the song The Trip Was Infra Green by Unholy (Finland), but since it have unjustly been removed for two times due to alleged copyright infringements, now we are done with this shit for good. If you want to listen to it, buy the tape or look for it on Youtube.
