Child forlorn Bequeathed to forests Under skies clouded with abandon In such veiled alcoves Resting chalet of stone, Temples of a people... Clandestine in the blood of their transgressions And soured by vindicated hatred Out from the drudge of festival To harshly claim their stake Shrouded in green, off mystic That Child, ghostly white, embraced. Become as one, guardian. Protector of secrets Defender of the people To forgive a trespass Is to forgo security Outlanders silenced Brought before the haunch Lest thee speak out of turn Their overseer Their paladin…Keeper of the abused. Shall spill thy blood With steadfast resolve And the grimace of the once forlorn
2.
The summerwind anointing crestfallen souls Disembody the voices, so piercing to Lamont Apparitions cull the sleep unto violent defense A shell hollowed by time and legend Renovate the haunts from shadowy torments Burden the living with mystic terrors To add to the score – one more body, almost theirs and one more mind, shattered for them. The spirits wont rest And the hostility of the father roars with the bluster of summerwind And one day, taken by lightning and fire To where have all the restless gone?

The days liberated of length Unsettled by the curse of snow And a sadistic trenchant cold With this night: two to die suffocate of one’s own smoldering body For fear did rage within his brother and out into the cold he fled that is: one to ash, one to ice, dead My spectral reprisal now foretold the haunt of travelers and the death of some cerulean eyes cut through the smoke and flame never forgotten, always maligned I am the Figure of Fire and the Dog of Black On the Ridgeway To appear out of air in many forms I linger With malicious intent I am the Figure of Fire and the Dog of Black Shapeshifted, consecrated In the consciousness of many I’m there as one, out of two Whip in hand, aflame complete Barking the horrors of a withered frozen body seeking revenge eternally

Nicolet / Marquette To become the sons of our unrest Rivers belabored by tidings of trade…furs for white men Filled with fear a savage song Today, sung in the mourn of utter destruction Into a mind Where time forgoes these passages Unfetter the past, set fire to flesh, be free Harness the power Sing these songs For elementals veiled Our hearts return to that moment The calling down of spirit to hand A witness to the setting sun The passions ignite the sullen land Death grows out of the horizon The calling down of spirit to hand and the Thrust of Trades to Oblivion And they will go that distance To sever agreements, to devastate roots To postulate they’re own reprieve And think that severed limbs sprout new branches just for them. O’ dream thou setting sun Nightmares spawn under feeble sovereignties Where deceptive assimilation pulls the reins The past lives on in the trials of blood Thunder in the hearts (of those) who make this return

Kate Blood 04:19
Wealth of cherishment Languished to a new sordid past For those who wish to see: Thy stone will surely bleed Kate Blood At the riverside Ostracized or elevated A gravestone casting long shadows Warm to the touch, weeping crimson For lunar glares Kate Blood What harm befell her For spells of transfixion weaved To create a history Dismayed and grim Yet, this haunt is true (this child’s) Sorrow ages from the year of two
7.
Elucidate the desire for fury to pyre How this thriftspent sincere, in times so austere Doth game regard for this lark’s graveyard Shepard’s monster unveiled Bloated with mass gullibility Shepard’s song sung through lips lined with false fangs To wit, a sycophantic hail preserved a time so pale The capture of imagination Like dreary, damp dreams lightens their hearts astounds even the heavens but cannot hold its own waters for the beast is born of folly yet, we’re damned to opine for his catch must stand the test of time

A line is drawn from boundaries beyond His works herald a forbidden light And we shall hold all fruit in common To the promotion of mystic liberties Oschwald The share of esoteric words with lurking forces occult and though his body is dead he shall never decay Arcane is his power like splendor of the crypt, haunting the cemetery cries from out of the seminary lost souls of his mystic cult, haunting the cemetery Oschwald Have you brought us milk and honey? Have you left us to the dust? What are you secrets? Oschwald

The tundra breathes in Twisting the terrain for pernicious gain Souring the soils for seasons to come As it exhales… imperiled by madness carried on the winds Like the harshness of snow mounting at our door Some cryptic otherness heeds the dole of death and destruction Perverse is this expanse And it was that the settlers aimed to harness the black river But the land itself subdued the people… subornation of many to ruinous fate Starvation Melancholy Murder And Suicide

about

Wisconsin, from its glacial formations to its driftless region, haunted by its lore and that which informs such. Gorged with the enigma of death and satiated by the listless flow of time, its history alludes to bleakness and the ghostly psychological consequences of its colonization. Bellow of a Writhing Land is ten spells recalling and/or recanting those very ghosts. Let it be our representation of and statement on Wisconsin Black Metal.
