loathe this bitter place, this monolith of decadence reluctant witness to the greatest sins of man alone amongst the stirring souls, defiantly gripping gold victim to the predication of this sickened seed contrived existence nothing left to see but the decay wrought in the wake of progress sifting through the evidence of what was left behind i know no hubris or sense of mission i heal my scars with time contrived existence contrived existence i will deny long live your legacy of glory, king of disdain as empires crumble i stand unfaltering this temple, bound by silence historian of failure transcend the construct of timestream and consciousness beyond the island of light, rise loathe this place what has become of paradise, what once was one thrown away, torn apart, return to me i will reclaim this temple, bound by silence historian of failure transcend the construct of timestream and consciousness beyond the island of light, rise the water paces with fury and discontent become the ocean of life, rise this tempest breeze is intoxicating the writhing seas twist in agony death is this horizon i offer you my vacuous offspring of malcontent now witness the end of this abomination the epilogue to an autonomous thought as tragedy takes the hand of lamentation the billowing waves envelope the sun through this darkness there will be light my love knows no end this song i sing of filicide shall be thy lullaby now sleep, forever

upon the hill i lie. in the shade of an old willow tree long lived and tired. bones and muscles ache, due to time's decay. it is here i wish to stay. to bask in the sun's warm glow, and rot properly..... i press my paper thin, wrinkled skin upon the rough bark of this old tree; and watch as the sun sets for eternity. to become the dust I came from. buried in the ground lacks dignity i believe... please let me give back what was given to me.... life. let the worms, ants, and wasps feast on my flesh. let the crows feed their young. there is nothing left for me, so why keep it selfishly let my bones hear the songs of the birds and the wind in the trees bathe in the pouring rain, and feel the warm caress of the sun. for when nature is done with me, i will truly be set free

Insatiable 06:49
now see the fruits of our vile labor bleeding from this earth cauterize the seeping sores of our scorned mother rip away the putrid scabs, subjugate the carrion mass divine are we the ravenous ones feed on life embrace this anomalous design we decide the travesty of our appetite the ravenous ones grown from calculated birth in prisons built of blood and filth flesh is a passage that cannot be dammed steaming piles of atrophy, feeding systematic greed alone, we will devour this world born to die to feed this anomalous design we are blind to our genocidal appetite the ravenous ones burning through the corpses of the ancients the sweet stench of death from the pyre smells of primitive and depraved desire breathing in the caustic emanation suffocate the population praise be to the malignant flame, as we scorch the heavens perforate the sky and bask in the light a kingdom so vast a landscape so small a meager offering for the insatiable purveyors of death the vessels of god this harrowing hand shall sow our last dawn at the twilight of time epilogue of this feast relieved of this hunger we will finally be

Onerous 08:17
high atop the pinnacle reaching for eternity onerous, the weight i bear beneath the mountain i crumble black out the skies this body grows cold machines of men scorch the earth behold the miracle of our rebirth contagion arise we will black out the skies this soaring atrocity shall absolve us all of our fate translate the burden of the malevolent race searching existence for another vein devour the stars extinguish the astral plane atop the apex of this masterpiece i bide my time with silent resolve of this burden be free

Awakened 02:57
6.
Vacant 07:17
awakened vacant adrift and forsaken absent and incomplete stranger to this foreign realm of parasitic harmony despondent, wounded, left for dead wandering this blighted land blindly the masses fall on swords of desperation unrelenting multitudes a lecherous society hordes of sickened sycophants devour life and cull the weak bleed for salvation and sin for your fears pray for transcendence and covet your tears content to be nameless forever unheard content to be faceless existence obscured receptors poisoned to the core these calloused eyes can see no more bloated, lifeless, washed away from this cold shore lost in a universe of chaos, lust and greed content with nothingness, refuse this grim reality become the unknown

The Hedonist 08:11

Solace 09:20
clawing my way through the impossible darkness of this place the alluring shadows they beckon to me the spiraling madness envelopes my consciousness, as I fight to stay awake what atrocity has deserved me this fate? drowning in waves of decay suffer through this mortal plague a nightmare upon us has taken the stage a twisted amalgamation of death, despair and suffering solace i find in you, at the end of this masquerade silence the only truth, as this world fades away free from this mask i wear burdened no more by fear dawning the exit of light ethereal become witness oblivion welcome the embrace of night in my comfort lies the sorrows of mortality fleeting moments mark the bane of this reality crumbling towers shake the frail walls that keep us inside from the promise of forever forever inside as I look back at a moment of anarchy and converge into the river of eternity at last, i may know peace
