Siege Hive
Siege Hive Lyrics
Each clavicle, a prison sown
Sorcery spawned and molded
All devotees who've been scolded
Into black the tunnel descends
Past nameless larvae chambered
Obedience by a master's hand
Gates evoked for the damned
A legion born from death
Hideous evolve by spell's breath
Frenzied shadows lurk in darkness
Ravenous for war's wail
Awakened by a command so shrill
Clawing their confines at will
As tar coating the sun
Twilights last has begun
We have won

Chuck Sheerwood:
Album closer “Siege Hive” last of the dream inspired as well, where deformed and demonic creations emanate and writhe in membrane capsulated chambers that line a tower’s inner walls. I recall floating, centered in said tower speaking words of power with no sound. As a sea of black tar/crude oil arose from the base boiling up and empowering the demons to take wing coating the moon and ushering eternal night.
John’s riffs and arrangements took form from the inception with very little manipulation. The rest of us certainly added our own flavor by performance, contributing to the set formula that was already established. Desiring a chaotic “burn out” of a finale to the album, which is mirrored especially as the song itself closes, on a violent and chaotic note. Just what was needed we felt and it really gives no resolve, certainly couldn’t foresee a better placement for this one. The war drumming, chugging middle segment and that triplet feel during the verse certainly allows for the ending to be unexpected and appreciated more as all collapses into ruin.
John McEntee:
“Siege Hive” is a great album closer. Another good headbanger to end the album with. For me the song really took life when we added vocals to it. I really like the vocal flow. and I really like the smoldering end riff, just a good and classic way to end a death metal album. It’s our way of saying “See you in Hell.”
