Celestial sojourner Between earth and the divine Break your worldly bonds Transcend through space and time Lost World Amongst the ether Are powers unknown There lies a thorn cathedra That's bound in bone The Astral Throne Lost in existence The spires are aligned Call out your truename Its vile crystalline Lost World Amongst the ether Are powers unknown There lies a thorn cathedra That's bound in bone The Astral Throne Time is my window Death is my door

Grey hands Sift through ash In search for life To mirror past He veiled a guide Left unconfined Morbid deviation From the archetype Evolving As we grasp for life Past and present Now intertwined Archaic humans By our own design False Eyes Find lambent glow From burning sands And ember snow Distant humans Sit beneath the throne Morbid deviation From the archetype Evolving As we grasp for life Past and present Now intertwined Archaic humans By our own design Wither, Woe Rot, Dismay Weep, Wane Ruin, Decay Morbid deviation From the archetype Evolving As we grasp for life Past and present Now intertwined Archaic humans By our own design

I've seen the keeper Of scourge and scorn Its malformed appurtenance Was shroud in thorns Poisoned breath and blood So virulent, its tracks were sibilant This mortal vessel Devoid of life Seeks the senseless, The blind, to rise Rise Its path becloud with decay The stench of rot and bone Impelled disciples of its malice Spread malefic intone Their bodies contorted A lifeless cold in their eyes Not shells but husks of men begotten All around me arise Arise How can you stop a shard of cloak and demise That's plague spreads through this morbid landscape At the hands of our minds This rage can sunder mountains And churn the eternal sea How am I forsaken Is this punishment or reality? The lantern it carries Flame is ebbing and old It did not light its way It signaled the approach Of the Purveyor of pestilence Light your lantern and dine Its pale glow Poised in the absence of space and time Bewitched by its luster This light one ebbing now grows This mortal vessel Devoid of life Seeks the senseless, the blind, to rise Rise

Ascendancy 11:27
Becoming oblivion In the guise of a shepherd Admonished by diluted minds Their hate was given to me I will not become another son Watch as the sky turns obsidian I cannot believe in only one I must construct oblivion Rewriting my universe This nescience will consume me Show me the morning star A fragment of the almighty I will not become another son Watch as the sky turns obsidian I cannot believe in only one I must construct oblivion When all is lost Will I be free? When all is lost Will we see? This is it There's nothing else Maligner, Desire Consume and spew these words Voracious, primitive Deceive the benighted When all is lost Will I be free? When all is lost Will we see? This is it There's nothing else

Eminence 07:48
Three pale lights Ignite my eyes And burn my veins I’m paralyzed Will I die like this. Floating through the cosmos. Alone in the abyss I pervade all again Praenomen Omnipresent I feel this power creeping in Cognomen Omnipotent It weighs the time that enslaves our minds Amongst the throne I breathe life Will I die like this. Floating through the cosmos. Alone in the abyss I pervade all again Praenomen Omnipresent I feel this power creeping in Cognomen Omnipotent I feel my nescience finally descend Agnomen Omniscient My Truename has been given Eminence is my Epithet Bow to me The Unknown Force On bent knee I seek more Praenomen Omnipresent Cognomen Omnipotent Agnomen Omniscient Bow to me Praenomen Omnipresent The Unknown Force Cognomen Omnipotent On bent knee Agnomen Omniscient I seek more

about

Salt Lake City’s Ora is a one-man operation created by Rory Markham in the spring of 2018. His first full length album Astral Throne plays like a seamless 45 minute doom movement with an emphasis on heavy melodicism. Meant to be heard as one whole piece of music, each song floats to the next between synth driven atmospheres met by the occasional cryptic quotes. Conceptually, the album takes the listener through all facets of space and time through the eyes of a protagonist as he watches humankind constantly destroying itself.
