about

The Master of Maggots has won his cosmic game. The slither of insect bodies on dirt surfaces is like the exquisite intermingled pluckings of harp in a high ceiling opera house. This is his victory dirge. This is your loss.

lyrics

(INTRO)

Spark in the night,
Bark to his bite,
Wrath twisted shadow,
Crafted with aloe,
Where did you weave,
Terror and greed,
"The Maggots Dance",
Come, Magnus, grasp,

(VERSE 1)

Deep down in the dirt,
Warriors stirred to mirth,
One laid claim to throne,
One stayed flame with bone,

(VERSE 2)

Blackness bleeds the night,
Tragic seems the slight,
Knowledge fuels the flame,
Down amongst the slaves,

(CHORUS)

To raise the dead once more,
To graze the edge, come war, he remains,

(VERSE 3)

In the endless embrace,
Of the undying light,
Lies the lord of the worms,
All his eyes in the white,
To all Nirn do they scavenge, they seek for the strange,
The dead like a tongue to the teat,
They clamber and shamble for aeons retold,
The language of some other beast,
Like a mass infestation in maw of the throat,
The writhing, the alphabet’s bound,
Like a festering wound in the ears of the men,
A carnal abhorrence in sound,
From the crypts does malevolence waft like a fog,
His words hither forward from foot,
The master of maggots is singing his song,
The triumphant trumpets the roots,

(CHORUS)

To raise the dead once more,
To graze the edge come war, come void, come lords, comes Gods come life, come all, I remain,

(VERSE 4)

The Dragon Break had redefined my mind,
Three from one, but whole of conscious thine,
Reconnected, we are thrice in might,
Moon and master at the throne of night,

(ENDING CHANT)

Live va, die va, live, va, die va, live va, die (Repeated)
