1.
Wrapped in dawn’s chilly mantle Ranged against despotic hordes Ill wind condensed on our breath Close to stir divers banners Fluttered in unison without the gloom Over anxious chatter in barbarous tongue Smoke ascends innumerable camps Bright columns reprising wisdom’s temple Dissipated in the murk Lifted night glimpses exotic myriads Deviant forms of odious complexion Laid naked our valour of quixotic passion Indolent in nescient ambition Glorying on tumult Proud with honour Roused to slaughter Despising life sundered from freedom Lowering clouds break in torrents Blood soaked deluge invests earth Enveloping sky in preternatural night Dark with death Rent with groans Exhausted against irreducible wall Indomitable phalanx bristles pikes Dauntless on despair Ebullient cry of liberty Tempered with martial obedience To advance over numbered Reckless against the shock Venerable dominion overthrown by vulgar enthusiasm Exalts on fortune’s vicissitude Valiant commander seduced by Oriental surfeit Mannered as a God To perpetuate the East Servile lascivious effete In this fold find peace In the other total war. Which now do you choose?” Whichever you will And he shakes out the fold for war UUKHAI!
2.
Transfixed with exquisite grief Confounded by untrammelled sorrow Plummeted through space and fallen from time Astonished shades condemned in dolorous gloom Sputtering effulgence swallowed by chaos Unfathomed legions writhe in ecstatic suffering Father of my being Show mercy Flames of Divine scorn Consume me Estranged from your love Uncreated My essence decays Yet I live! Swathed in exasperated fever of despair Frustrated self-annihilation projects upon You Broiling Malevolent enthusiasm Seething rage Sadistic lust Seducing betraying Corrupting destroying Inflict death Mutilate creation Vainglorious sedition Salves my loss All for you Father hear me Abjure morning star Comprehend their threat Indulge your opportunity Wallow in your magnificence
3.
Stalked by dread steps of the inexorable fiend I travail the ascent through foetid opacities Collected on my gasps and wept through close wood Obscuring the wended path Murmuring against my chest Warm and vulnerable I cradle life precious against the gloom Beyond its cloying miasma The crystalline air sears my skin Echoing fevered exertion into rarefied silence Cast in malevolent shades The colourless twilight effaced of detail Harbours covetous eyes beguiled by my flight Resistless they close Predators lurking without my defensive stroke Patiently pressing their appetite Ensnared I stumble and plummet upon a lurching nausea Cloaked in abysmal darkness that defied all sensation Save the anxiety of falling Heightened with each passing instance It fulminates a negating pause On whose whisper dissolves my very essence Warmth spills regretfully Inviting austere cold The heat of blood vented and viscous That animated and encircled Defining the narrative of self Projects its sanguine film over all perception Its sublimates into frigid clarity Swathed in meter-less rhythms of uninhibited sensation Indifferent and omniscient Betraying objects without context Stimulates without instruction Beyond ambition and hope Without fear or loathing Upon the formless void that alone exists I am unborn
4.
Bathed in stale sweat awash with slippery fears Pain relents as your end draws near Cramp overwhelms muscle drawn tight Renting flesh with malevolent delight Cold unseen hands Broad and square Demons of possession To sear you everywhere A narrow slither of silver A yellow slit of eye The dark silhouetted intruder Will cut you and leave you to die Murderer of the night Shadows proceed from him Festering insanity to kill on a whim Ruthless slayer demon in human guise Arbitrary assassin intent on your demise Clouds part their jetted veil Beyond the moon leers full His face washed sickly Featureless and dull Your heart stops in your chest The blade finds its mark Raised knife fallen Levelled in lethal arc Heavy gout of blood Venting vital red No more considered Flayed and left for dead Stalker’s instinct animates his soul Quixotic lust impelling murderous toil Veiled in gloom the disquiet of dread Strike an elegy for the violently dead
5.
Born after violence precipitated in dread Whose anguished memory lingers about the dead Wept from flesh punctured and flayed Caught in sympathy for life unmade Vengeful shades Abscond the grave Maligned thirst For blood they crave Despair’s foetid damp collects about your kill Dissipates all hope within its baleful chill Abnegate volition on lascivious impulsion Launched upon betrayal by murderous compulsion Nemesis rouses Fates enclose Furies circle Madness rises Spirits seize Rending killing Guilt exudes from your pores Exposing your splendid flaws Become the farce of the slain Incarnate devil absolved in pain Lethe’s apathy shed Arise the un-dead Ravenous fury revive Only the strong will survive

about

Pity Eloquence is a five track EP by Aeons Abyss and constitutes our first release. The music was written in 1990 when we were yet a thrash metal band and both its genre and traditional heavy metal influences are proudly apparent. The lyrics of all but one of the songs, Love Letter to the Dead, were rewritten in 2018.

The music for Pity Eloquence was recorded in the second half of 2018 and the vocals laid down over two sessions, late December 2018 and early February 2019, at the band’s home studio in Melbourne, Australia. The recording was mixed and mastered exclusively by Aeons Abyss.

Read a 4/5 review of Pity Eloquence here:
metal-roos.com.au/reviews/pity-eloquence

Aeons Abyss encourages listeners of our music to explore our lyrics, as our songs often contain analogous messages and relevant considerations pertaining to the ethics of life and the very essence of human existence. Although presented in a genre relevant style suited to the magnificence of death metal, we believe that the reflections posed, present the listener with an opportunity to delve deeply into matters that govern humankind, and life in general.

Aeons Abyss invites listeners to connect with the band through Instagram and Facebook and to discuss the meanings of our songs, as well as their own interpretation of our lyrics.

Members: Paul O'Brien - Vocals / Lyrics
Steven O'Brien - Music / Mixing
