Tongue of the Earth

by Battle Hag

Camelus Dromedarius Celestial Tyrant is incredible, but Tongue of the Earth is still a solid work, one I don't think any doom metal fan should pass up. You can clearly see the groundwork laid for their later work. Super solid psychedelic doom metal with death metal elements.

All HAILZ BATTLE HAG‼️
This Tibetan throat singer Daniel has his Tongue Of The Earth compacting all humans into Dirt.

Damn‼️ Why is this not on Vinyl❓

Genre; Heavy Far Out Shit❗️
This masterpiece creation feels like That Large Tongue racking over your physical body being depressed into the Earth as the Tongue continues to Demolish everything in it's Mighty Path of Destruction ❗️
Bravo Zulu guys😊

1.
Endless alternate pathways...other realities... Another me, another you, another everything The key lies within this sacrament, The herb of the unholy dead Our world is shaped by persistence, the quest for our true will The spirits’ voices push us further into our madness Our future is hidden in smoke, We waste our lives talking to the dead Breathe deeply, inhale the fog of the dead risen from their graves
2.
In the chamber beneath the necropolis We prepare to receive your ancient wisdom To speak in the tongue of the Earth, The voice of the beasts To reach the realm of the gods To channel the dead At the foot of the obelisk We, your servants, invoke you “Fools! Gaze upon my form in fear My realm was never for man to behold”
3.
Prophetic 10:20
Clouds are careening, billowing and boiling Shattering mountain tops, swallowing skylines Falling from the sky, crushing the deceased Cracking open the floor, enveloping the ground Ancient tales come to life resurrect lost beliefs Neglected daemon rising from below Decaying, deceased deities decomposing Earth and sky have opened up, filth has washed away Destroy and rebuild the land Take back the throne, purge them all The heretics
4.
Basilisk 11:27
Gather your courage men and ready your blades (now we ride) Our legends and our songs shall all praise our names (now we fight) Glory awaits us now, bid farewell to our home (on we ride) To the edge of our realm and to the unknown (on we fight) Onward to the barren lands where the vile serpents dwell In search of the Basilisk Beware of his evil eye which stares into the soul, Poisoning the heart from within As the seasons pass we follow the stars (still we ride) As our brothers fell and died in our arms (still we fight) As our clan and our kin forget our names (still we ride) We march to victory with rust on our blades (still we fight) Though we’ve yet to find the snake We’ve been under his watch since we first reached for our swords Our battle has already begun, and we must persevere Until the day that we’re dead in the ground Embrace the serpent’s gaze, face the abyss within Know that the boldest men cast the darkest shadows
5.
Drag my corpse across the sand to the tower of silence Lay my body down with my kin, pile our remains up to the sky Let my blood join with theirs, let the birds clean my bones Let the winds carry away the demons who are freed when we die May my final gift to the Earth be to cleanse her of my memory If the bodies of the just are poisoned and unclean Then what hope remains for a wretch like me?
