Born to scorn in a prison adorned with the praises of a black lidded sun Try to hide, but the horror presides over each of the close-minded ones We could not kneel nor feign a bow To sate their blasphemy A brazen haven, sure devout In black authority The priests invite their pleasure In the torment of the weak A curse beyond all measure Proving mighty can’t outsway the weak Something in the air, it bears The sickly scent of trepidation All coming to a close, I swear A deathly isolation How I yearn to return to woodland fern Where pestilent shores bring night no more And all is well from skin to core How to discern this crying burn From asserting eyes to guilty lies An autumn grey to fiery summer skies Their godless delight Is a one-way fight Through courting the abhorred Not shall we submit Nor suffer it As was quoth in wisdom...nevermore Nevermore! Drawn and gone, unholy songs, a cacophony of pain under abysmal dawn Battles won, our epic sung to last regrets and a future hung We hail you Darkly, darkly lord of pain In thy sight, we mare and maim Put to death, all in your name We, the priests of a new disorder

The night we deigned fit to escape As last vestige of dusk breaks way A mortal foreplay had with fate Under a swollen moon and starless sky The itching impulse to be gone They’ll catch up on our trail 'fore long A streaking glimpse of tempered hate When love is gone and faith does die. Paving thru the sky, gilded souls alight Crying terror thru the forest of a bloodmoon night Of the malcontents, all the tortured repent Clarifying bite of iron serves to cull dissent. At the first church bell, braying hounds of hell, In wretchedness, descend upon the tainted flock Of men to die, immortal, I Step forth, declaring, “CRUCIFY!!” Torturous one, unknowing, undone in malevolent games under a ruinous sun Running helter-pace gives such a quickened cadence to her breath Misery won, forgiven among the strings of her heart to an elegy sung So scared, your tears tell distant years of everything we haven't left You will bow to me, enslaved You'll find divine a bitter reign In all you are, you're drowning in the shame So many nights, I've paid my lot I've watched the years succumb to rot A fallen dream, a gleam of Golgorath Won't stop us now! Paintings peeling, subjects kneeling ‘fore the holy, insofar (as) Hatred, healing, blood-red feeling Under these Golgothic stars Cleansed in fire, ever higher, We three priests of Orient stand Bearing gifts of pure desire In this untempered, broken land Devoted to the votive, holy standard of love breeds the picking and the slaughter of the highest above To lure upon the missive with a recalcitrant fist is but a thorn in the maiden of the men they have "dismissed" Passion for the cession of her insolent sway, laying, praying for the darkness of a virulent day In the grip of surest pleasures, put the coffin to the nail, in the crucible of tragedy, explanations fail The night was cold, the moon was black Their petty legions persevere in driving us back To the morbid chapel that god on high Himself forsaken to the care of those who hate the light We hail you Darkly darkly lord of night On thy Dias of dizzy height Broken we, in the terror of flight We, the priests of a new disorder WE ARE THE PRIESTS AND THIS IS OUR REQUIEM.

Mortal fear, sequestered here Lost in the flames of all I held dear God on high, whom I despise Thy holy peace has left my mind Break my back, break my heart Shattered man be torn apart Violent mind, violent soul Why's my heart so goddam cold All I am, all I see Drowning in iniquity Take my love, take my life Remove me from thy perfect sight She was no snow white on the night she died Bleeding ichor flowing back across the sore divide. but I was no dark knight breaking men like ice Every spawn of Adam coming forth and fell alike We were dark as night, when we tried to hide Bitter blackness strung us up in nails and pierced our side But their god delights in the sudden fright, Of a capture turned to altar children crucified Her desperate love, my wounded mind Bit to the quick on fading time Presented one last twisted rhyme Up from a blind man, anodyne Acerbic, perfect is thy glance Forsaken, taken without a chance Amorphous tortures prayed to come upon Aesthetic eyes they gleam and dance Raised, body locked in fearful stance, A quaking voice at every evil spawned My soul had now been clutched within An abeyance of love A gift a curse an atrophy A torment from above A broken man has not a place Fast in the grasp of joy I cannot sate, ameliorate One last fragile heart to destroy We tried to run, we tried to hide But fickle fate had ‘or devised My heart was ice the night my love was burned (Now her) life that once blazed fresh and bright Darkened down to near twilight Nothing but a graveless name was earned We hail you Darkly, darkly, lord of hate To whom our captors seek to sate Binding we to morbid hate We the priests of a new disorder

Nex (Death) 14:06
The end comes soon Vermillion skies and crimson moon The end came with distorted hallelujah The break of day Quicksilver demons pave the way Their masters cry a rending hallelujah I faltered in the contour of a valiant masquerade A dissonant debacle of a broken serenade. One final step, I hold my breath and, waiting for the end Whate’er remorse had fled its course and had been long since spent She has taken my heart Relinquish my grip when death do I part My soul is ablaze in keeping her from harm A purity unsung Extinguish this flame when all is done Until that day, chimerical I’ve become She a goddess among men I burn for her brighter than any star can bear Not hell nor all it's servants can muster to tear…us…apart My nightingale, entombed within the unforgiving earth A soirée of debauchery, like laughter without mirth Every eye of faith denied, I'd lost her from the start The only air she still can breathe...exists within my heart The demons scoured the forest far and wide Going forth with seraph blessing, divine pride Holding fast my love, my courting bride Her lips were torn apart and secrets pried The irons they bear Hath swallowed all care Bringing the love of the sweetest insanity Her turpentine corpse Found fit for their sport She'll burn on the morrow with me I crawl for your pardon My face to the floor Sweet mercy a virtue Pursued no more A trinity poison Of surest undoubt What glories within thee Aren't worthy without A rending of the heartstrings Multicolored love affair The tesserae of broken hearts Shattered into pairs A loneliness eternal Dichotic be thy name Debased in part and from the start Was it all in vain You were my sonnet, my beautiful verse The last whispered blessing in all that I cursed A forlorn denial, you speak to my heart I dare he on high to try tearing us apart You were my beauty, why I carried on My reason for fighting this battle so long You were my warmth in the cool of night I was in darkness, and you were my light I am hypnotized by elegiac eyes and whispered lies you spat at me before you died I can't see inside Your cryptic heart, a labyrinth start from whence ensnared, so few depart. I would walk forever just to feel your touch again I would give anything to be back where we began I have held an angel under stars that gleam and dance I have seen the ending and it seems we never had a chance Stay with me forever, in this world of love and lies I need you here beside me more than any(one), any God on high

Death, wherein lies your sting? Hell, where the hell is your victory? Pain, where is your power over me? Hate, you bear the chains that prove I’m free Ignite! The same old pain again Drive your nails in my hands and feet and then Ignore the tale of the holy man monster Who ran like hell and came back stronger Feed! The source of ignorance In my defense, I’m drowned in arrogance Cutting through to the middle of the monster Can’t burn away the flames, come alive, scream louder! Mortified lies from twisted minds force-fed through the image of a holy demise Offer steel intent, promise heaven sent, all the while never hinting at the punishment NO PEACE FOR THE GODLESS One final step, a soul inept; Comprehension cannot falter for the secret kept. One poetical glance, last lyrical dance, of messiahs broken in the streets and cruelty enhanced. I am broken (I am made new) I am worthless (I will kill you) I am nothing (I am everything your flames have forged me into) I am healing (I am stronger) I am growing (Moving faster) I am breathing once again (I’ve been reborn, you’re nothing but a man) Drawn along this merciless throng The people scream a deathly song So for they all to witness be They spin their sacerdotal chords in me The sound is dying My song within begins to lose its tone The hour is coming My blinded eyes cant find the way back home The pain is blinding! Its blocking my perception of the Screaming crowds Blacking out All the while It’s fading out In the end Don’t pretend You can mend The shattered faiths of we Who were yours Heart and soul Nothing more But you crossed the line What you failed To perceive Close your eyes It’s killing you Liar Liar Liar Where is your promise now Liar liar liar Nothing, dead in the ground Liar liar liar I'll find some way back to you Nothing you deserve, but all too true My veins are burning I cant escape the nails that pierce me through My stomach’s churning Sanguine, this pain’s my gateway back to you "Shrouds of mottled ruin weave Forgotten songs of old. The sonnets painted with regret Apocryphal, untold. In time the endings shall be heard The missing verses found. But until that day, these unsung plays Sleep beside the author Anathema, sweet scented clogging necroneural past and present Flicker with the pain, my helpless body on the rack Lycanthrope, a tightening rope, a thrash a gash, I start to choke My twisted angels whisper "there is no going back" We hail you Darkly darkly, anyone there? Heart eclipsed in fell nightmare Deliver us, father, hear my prayer I, the priest of the one true order "Death, judgment, heaven, hell The last four things on which we dwell Anger, envy, vengeance, lust Condemn we sinners to the dust Fire, ice, the freezing storms Our throats are dry, our voices torn For broken souls, we lift a cry Abandoned we by god on high" I choke to the light Gods below forsook me in the night My Chains coming free Whomever bears me home, I swear to thee My soul is yours forever

In tongues slithering “mors mortis” hail a darker visage of All things coming to an end, once bared now soars above for all to see My sterling rose strikes shameful pose for all eternity My moonlit dove, eternal love, I bathe in flame for thee

about

Part one of three in the "We, The Priests" saga. A concept album of dystopian allegory and horrors committed in the name of a twisted god. The priests: a theocratic, oppressive master who brutalize their slaves to appease a horrific God. The slaves: persecuted for the pleasure of this dread master. But one priest dares an escape from seclusion and oppression; his journey beyond the walls of torment broke the mold, just as his capture and brutal execution opens the eyes of the downtrodden...all in the name of a God who's arbiters on earth perhaps have lost their way.

In New Disorder, the story of this one man's transcendence of caste and culture, his persuaded escape by one mysterious woman, her sudden disappearance, his eventual capture, his public crucifixion, and his acute renewal in the eyes of God and men is explored. What should be permitted in the name of God? What horror crosses the line from blessed to blasphemy?

Listen for yourself how one man's divine purpose and ultimate sacrifice paves the way for God's renewal in the lowest depths of hell.
