I) Barren
Words by MT.
Carrion stripped fingers rise from spoilt earth
Like totems before the devouring sun
Shit caked eyeballs scream towards the sky
Nothing shall grow here
All things shall die
Nothing shall grow here
All things shall die
Starved like fucking dogs
Flyblown and skinless
Wormholed gums shall drink of dust
The sky a fucking blister
The sun a scab to pick
Each fucking second
Is just the next
Unique grain of sand
In the desert of fucking grief
She has forsaken us and now we lie
Beneath the all consuming sands of time
She flayed her own flesh
She skinned her own corpse
She split her own crotch
She tore her own womb
GAIA
This shattered soul
This open wound
This harrowed earth
This barren womb
Flayed Skin Split Torn
Soul Wound Earth Womb

II) A Pyre For Absolution
Words by MT.
Sword carved bone corpse enthroned
Clown of thorns blood of God
Smear your shit Baphomet
Drown in blight fuck the light
Drink deep of the piss ambrosia
Then slit your fucking throat
Disgorge the spleen cleanse internals
Vomit your spectre free
Loosen the noose that is your flesh
Remove the eyes that do not see
Wallow in bile invalid
Ecumenical misery
Scorned betrayer
Scorched skin blistered
Kneel weakling
Fail human fail
Seize your tongue speak not a sound
Ungrateful coward such gifts I accord
I built this pyre for you to burn
Performed these rites over your corpse
There shall be life in death

III) Rest Upon Water
Words by MT.
I have never witnessed a miracle
The very thought fills me with disgust
I'd sooner drown than walk upon water
I'd sooner burn than fucking rise
Shivering hands such thrilling fiction
To numb the pain of being alive
Golgothan faeces to feed the masses
The host washed down with piss and lies
These preachers all look like jackals to me
Bearing their teeth at the vulnerable
Waiting to prey on the easiest targets
They shepherd their flock towards the slaughter
There is a fate worse than death
A life spent crawling at the heel
Of lesser men who speak of gods
And lesser gods dreamed up by men
I owe these cunts fucking nothing
And my time shall fucking come
For everything I have ever done
I answer only to myself
Your gods all drowned in shallow waters
Your priests are all straw men
For everything I have ever done
I've yet to sink below the waves

IV) Stray Not From This Path
Words by MT.
Unchanging constant spiralling ever downwards
Towards an infinite emptiness
A vortex cascade
A nightmare descent
Collapsing through portals
Becoming a God
Utter abject black void maw
Existence shall soon be false
Utter abject black void maw
Stray not from this path
Within the gaping jaws of the engulfer
All hope expires event horizon
This saw-toothed disintegrator
A black hole that feasts upon god flesh
Sinew twisted
Bones snapped
Limbs broken
Torn free
Fall
The portals hang like nooses
They shall ensnare the fucking stars
The portals hang like nooses
They shall ensnare the fucking gods

V) The Swallowing Abyss
Words by PP
The squalor in your vapid soul
It's overwhelming
I would hate to be the vile fly on the wall in your skull
Riddled with the disease you call your faith
I don't need such false emptiness
To provide me with guidance
End your life
You are a failure to yourself
The black hole awaits you
And I am more than willing to drag you in
Wear your black noise crucifix
Nobody is listening
It will never ever save you

VI) The Hideous Soul of the Forest
Words by MT.
Root snared fauna gnawing through their shattered limbs
In desperation abject they crawl towards the light
Their underbellies hanging out snagged amongst the thorns
Organic matter all absorbed this throbbing mass deformed
Flesh Burst Swarm Seed
A soul pulsates within its cells
The forest sings a sirens song to tempt them
The forest feasts upon the skin of myth
At its centre beats a predator's heart
Immortal and hypnotic ceaseless drone
Its veins expand beneath death fed ground
Branches reach to claim the eyes of fauns
Their barbs sink in and scourge soft tissue
Stricken in agony they bleat despair
Tendrils coiled around putrid corpses
Bones emerge from blood red soil
The fauns all stagger like drunken whores
Through rain soaked arches flesh adorned
Bowels as garlands line their way
They advance towards their fate
The cunt of Gaia open wide
Embrace eternal void of time
No fucking light penetrates her womb
The fauns all hanged around her tomb

This was my introduction to The Owl. Wow! Brilliant without being forced. The production is flawless. That separation that really makes it come alive. Transporting the listener to these unrelenting environments. I can feel the desolation. Each track stands alone, yet the continuity weaves it together making the parts a whole piece. This isn't for everybody but everybody should get it. This is art. A mesmerizing trip through the darkness and isolation in us all and the world. Masterpiece work.
