I like to drink coffee every morning... or should I say THE RIVERS OF DARK ELIXIR COURSE THROUGH MY VEINS AT DAWN'S FIRST LIGHT; A MOLTEN BLACK POTION TO SUMMON FORTH THE AWAKENING OF MY SLUMBERING SPIRIT!

Good try but these are definitely power metal lyrics!

Sounds more like something from Bal-Sagoth, my favourite pretentious black metal group ever.

WITNESSING THE CACOPHONIC LORDS OF NECROTIC IRON'S UNHOLY DESECRATION OF THE INNOCENT SAXON TONGUE. EDIT: mild Baader-Meinhof at the word chronocration, since I only came across the term "the great chronocrator" a couple of weeks ago.

And now this article (and the very comment this is a reply to) are the English-language authorities on the word "chronocration" according to Google. If it hadn't been for a 1657 French book, this article would have been a Googlewhack when published, too.

I just went from the article itself to searching Google for "chronocration" and then on to this comment from the results, the recursion is METAL.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you want great lyrics that make loads of sense and are easily understood, listen to the band after which the whole genre was named: Death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8256VJ4hkJU If i were allowed only one metal track to take on an island, i'd chose this one.

…for some value of “easily understood”. ;)

His singing is clear, compared to the usual guttural growl prevalent in Death Metal. His lyrics are high art IMHO but still:

Do you feel what I feel?

The philosopher You know so much about nothing at all

So you preach about how I'm supposed to be Yet you don't know your own sexuality

Mnyeah. I prefer simpler pleasures: Eyes bulging from their sockets With every swing of my mallet I smash your fucking head in, until brains seep in through the cracks, blood does leak distorted beauty, catastrophe Steaming slop, splattered all over me https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/29118769/Cannibal+Corpse/Hammer... Or, you know: Drink from the goblet, the goblet of gore Taste the zombie's drug, now you want more Drif…

I assume the first one is about playing Whack-a-mole?
