The Witch Doctor
06:20
|
|||
|
Forbidden Jungle
Lost to time
A place of wonder
Where evil thrives
Shrunken heads line the walls
Of the accursed shack
An old recluse, a sorcerer
Explorer of the untamed black
Practitioner of long forgotten ways
Wicked excitement fills his eyes
As Nantu the mad Witch Doctor
Gazes upon his wretched prize
While his cauldron smokes and bubbles
Unnamed beasts lurk out of sight
Through the thick tropical canopy
A star illuminates the night

Noxious Opulence
04:20
|
|||
|
Monstrous lines of powdered bile
Laid neatly in a row
Best ingest with whisky
Blood Brew chaser in tow
Heroin bores me
I prefer to mainline pus
Mixed with speed, it’s all you need
A terrifying rush
Demon whores lay strewn about
My chamber, comatose
Gifts from hell, they didn’t fare well
They promptly overdosed
This noxious brand of opulence
May dull my deadly skill
No matter, it’s been years
Since I’ve served my masters will
Torn from my narcotic haze
Pulsating light envelopes me
Visions of a land afar
A tropical cacophony
A wretched man, a rotting shack
A winding river, the swirling black
The light fades, my task is clear
Set out at once

Into Untold Evil
04:40
|
|||
|
Far from the mountains
Beyond the desolate plains
Across the great ocean
Into the arcane
A festering harbor
Lies far to the east
At the mouth of the river
That winds through the deep
We arrive in the shanty
With the force of a storm
We raid and we pillage
We torture and burn
We slaughter the townsfolk
They’re butchered for meat
For the grueling journey ahead
We’ll need plenty to eat
Load up the ships
Stockpile the rum
Into the heart of darkness
We run
Set sail from the docks
Smoke fills the sky
Onwards towards untold evil
We fly

This Infernal River
05:50
|
|||
|
This infernal river
Winds endlessly on
The rations have run dry
The drugs are all gone
Hunger sets in
The withdrawals take hold
Desperation is mounting
The madness, it grows
The days turn to months
Yet, here, time stands still
A tedious, dragging,
Purgatorial feel
We’ve traveled so far
But hardly can tell
The depths of this jungle
Dwarf the deep pits of hell
Psychedelic stagnation
Depraved deja vu
These desolate doldrums
Will soon consume us too

What Lies Within
05:08
|
|||
|
In his hovel, Nantu stirs
How to unleash the ancient curse?
A rotten torso, so it seems
Conceals the object which he seeks
Mortal means all fail in turn
No force can crack, nor fire burn
An incantation or a key?
Reveal the answer, speak to me
On the horizon
Black smoke doth rise
None who trespass here
Shall leave alive
As the night falls
Clouds lay heavy on the sky
Yet through obstruction
The demon star still shines
|

Out From the Jungle
04:30
|
|||
|
Out from the jungle
Spears in their hands
A people forgotten
We’ve entered their lands
“Prepare for battle”
I shout to my horde
“Load up the cannons!”
“Sharpen your swords!”
No longer weary
My withdrawals withdrawn
Impending slaughter
Is driving me on
Caressing my blade
With indecent lust
Longing to stab and thrust
With an ear-splitting shriek
They mount their attack
Arrows aflame
Rain down on the deck
Our captain is slain
A spear through the skull
Rocks from below
Tear into the hull
The din of the battle
Is strangely serene
Water rushes in
murky and green
Our ship is consumed
By the river so vile
And I just can’t help but smile
A flash of my blade
Entrails scatter around me
A flick of the wrist
The severing of heads
A trail of corpses
Lying behind me
A village of victims
Directly ahead
Sudden as death
Paralysis strikes me
A break in the clouds
Lights up the night
Robbed of free will
An end to my rampage
I gaze at the star
As I’m stripped of my sight
|

7. |
The Heart of Darkness
03:40
|
|||
|
Light
Flickers in the dark
Rot
Wafting on the breeze
Footsteps
Shattering the still
My sight
Coming back to me
In the flesh, he stands before me
The one I’ve come so far to find
For what purpose are we here now?
Why have our fates become intertwined?
Gore
Decorates the room
A stench
Permeates the shack
Remains
Lie upon the floor
The key
Breaks free of my grasp
United by an unseen force
The morbid chest, the osseous key
Pierce the sternum, twist and click
What lies within, has been set free
|

Night Eternal
05:00
|
|||
|
Vile pulsating
Spewing gloom with every strike
Ascending slowly to the sky
Oh, Heart of Darkness
Expel the light
The Demon Star shall reign
Until the end of time
A world in darkness
Where the sun shines nevermore
Vice, ensnare the hearts of man
Oh, wretched master
We have prevailed
May your cosmic chaos
Consume this dismal land
Into the endless night
I’m homeward bound
Back to my castle, drugs, and whores
To rule in glory
Unopposed
Until I’m called upon to serve once more…

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
