Reciting esoteric passages
The devout mystic prays
To gods old and unseen
For the destruction of his kin
Infection festers
flesh rots
The mystic collapses
None are exempt
A malevolent shade blackens the sky
Sun, moon, and stars obscured
Then extinguished
The old ones laugh in mockery
The parchment burns
In one last flame
Before cold suffocates all
The grand error has been resolved

Burning Gehenna
04:41
|
|||
|
The valley of smoldering children
Pyres of innocent flesh
Ruthlessly sacrificed to no one
Deceit of the damning delusion
A land left cursed
Haunted by infant wraiths
Helpless in life, vengeful in death
The kings of Judah will know torment
I've awoken without a body
Arisen to haunt this pit of ash
All I know is hate
You will suffer

Facing eternity
with melancholic acceptance
Cursed with experience
Witness to all history
Death fears me
I long to embrace it
Living without death
Time loses all meaning
Youth unending
if I feed it
Draining each victim of crimson nutrients
Fending off imminent decay
Victims ignorant to the blessing
Of death which I bring
Parasitic sustenance
Under a guise of beauty
I am he who dreads eternal life
|

5. |
||||
|
My malice gazes toward
The source of reprieve
Forever spurned of fear
Ensuring self destruction
Contentment is out of reach
Wielding the sword of self hatred
The thorned hilt bites
With an unyielding grasp
Persistence unrequited
Malice peering inward
Every thought infected
The contagion of hope
|

A journey deep into the woods
Searching for an old tomb
Buried among bramble and thorns
The wails of the lifeless beckon me
Disincarnative allure
A king, a knight, a peasant
All welcome me
No castle, barrack, or shack
Just these old stones
Marking the ground
we all one day share
Side by side, through the ancient trees
The lifeless lead me
On my quest to find humility
Upon a desolate hill
A lonely stone stands tall
Shining and devoid of wear
Shrouded in the fog
The lifeless three depart
The hill becomes a chasm
From which there is no escape
I slowly become translucent
As life gradually fades
My humility is found at last

Throne of Incognizance
05:32
|
|||
|
Donning a crown of virtuous naught
Painting thine insolence as altruism
A favour to whom?
Glorious lecture
Reeking of sanctimonious fabrications
To tint thine looking glass
Toward inscrutibility
My futile weapon
Wielding a mirror untainted
Denial of the clarity presented
Incognizant filth, I spit upon thee
|

My Cathartic Descent
07:10
|
|||
|
Enduring the hopelessness
Both real and contrived
Frantically chasing moments of pleasure
Pleasure I can't even feel
Where is the value
Where is the reason
Where is the end
The end of all torment
Sip from the chalice of poison
Drown in the vat of blood
Clawed from my internal rivers
Rushing over the falls of despair
Suspended in a noose
Over the life I never wanted
Empty eyes staring hauntingly downward
Watching my soul's cathartic descent
Maybe hell will welcome me
The realm of infinite pain
A place where I can finally feel
Alive after death
|

Help Me Die
08:01
|
|||
|
Life under a black cloud
Encompassing my entire being
Filling my lungs with a miasma
Of all it's prior victims
One last shred of humanity
Holding me in this world
It's grip loosening quickly
Help me to be free of it
Pour my bitter poison
Guide the knife across my neck
Tie the knot correctly
I don't want to fail again
