Blood Trip

Centuries ago
In ages formed by cosmic ways
Souls pray to live without misery
Bowing down to gods for wisdom and serenity
Massive creature that raises the sun
beyond the call to Heavenly deliverance
It sheds a skin blessed with rejuvenation
Quetzalcoatl, primeval feathered serpent
They ask for blood
Those great beings
Watch their eyes glow
With lust for your bones
Seismic in scale
Won't you see
They control you
Your life in their hands
Martyrs fulfill the prophecy
Carried beyond the planes away from death
Bodies on a blood trip to their god
To feel the sting of his prophetic bite
Communication with elders who see to the
Dead through the visage of a serpent theology
Showing the gateway to spiritual realms
Archaic visions emerging from its maw
Standing atop the axis high in a world tree
the earthly spiritual planes convene through a ritual
the king serpent joins them in the temples to call
linking the living to the dead
They ask for blood
Those great beings
Watch their eyes glow
With lust for your bones
Seismic in scale
Won't you see
They control you
Your life in their hands
Martyrs fulfill the prophecy
Carried beyond the planes away from death
Bodies on a blood trip to their god
To feel the sting of his prophetic bite
Begin your spiritual guide
Ingest the ceremonial herbs
Feel your mortal skin writhe
Experience the bloodletting ritual
Let the blood drip on the altar
Soaking the burning pages
Let the smoke bridge your worlds
Connecting your soul to death
Let the serpent king grant you sight
Call upon the gods to witness the end
They will give you guidance
Learn from their past
A prophecy is in effect
Your purpose, your honor, your life
In his hands you are granted new sight
For now you must fight for the fear of death
Stingray spine in your left
Obsidian blade in your right
Splatter the papers with your blood
A mighty warrior spews from his jaws
Martyrs fulfill the prophecy
Carried beyond the planes away from death
Bodies on a blood trip to their god
To feel the sting of his prophetic bite

It's Only Getting Worse

This man can’t be tamed
Out of mind
Flying high
Reaving bloodshed stains to the eyes
The same blood tingeing the earth
Has been consumed in intrepid rapture
Leaving him running all fours
At the sound of your Screams
Transcend the only way
Make worth your dying flesh
Scar the days or toil away
Following beyond our own instinct
Carrying remains of the weekend carnage
Consumed in full, a cursed beast is among us
Enlightened are his eyes
As a new breed of life
Blood fueled by rage
crushing heaven in his mouth
Transcend the only way
Make worth your dying flesh
Scar the days or toil away
Following beyond our own instinct
Become aware of the sky
Seek the moth inside
Trust the rage you’ve spilled
Break the ground where it dries
Bury the beauty in your eyes
Believe beyond what has died
Try to remember your state
With visions blurred by light this bright
Waiting on your rest, the world breathes again
So ensure that this world suffers through the pain you've seen
Implode Inside, brimming life with hate
New blood in your veins, forever are you now a
Beast of all mankind, a demon drunk on christ
With all the crimes against this world, fall by seismic will
Bend your world down into oblivion
Mold it in your hands, the only way to live

The holy man spoke to me and cleansed me of my faith
Free of sin and free from hell I was born again anew
Falling into temptation will have it’s consequence
Weigh the bad against the worse and confess your deadly sin
Held on by the grace of God
I’m saved
Problem child of Adam and Eve
Disaster
Dragged six feet under ground
Light
I reach out, but I’m sucked back in to the devil’s eyes
You cannot prove more than what you see
I speak the truth you speak the lies of what your mind perceives
The blasphemy the heresy reviling my beliefs
You speak the words of a heretic priest, go face your pseudo God
Held on by the grace of God
I’m saved
Problem child of Adam and Eve
Disaster
Dragged six feet under ground
Light
I reach out, but I’m sucked back in to the devil’s eyes
I wish I was careful of what I wish for
At my nerves end I broke down and blacked out
No sanctuary found in this God forsaken hell
He let go of my soul he left me for dead
By the grace of God
By the grace of God

Tell me, have you looked through so many eyes that the sight of truth gave you inertia?
I ask you, give me one reason to fucking believe that you would see this life through mine.
You see, there's only one path to take your mind, and I laugh at the fact that you're too lost to find it
'Cause I have been there and back again to understand that there's nothing to gain from looking in the first place
I take it all in breaths that stretch my lungs too far to comprehend
The cosmic allure of this world seeps into me on a warpath to my own destruction
Roaming around outside of blind eyes
No matter to my name other than a waste of skin
Blankly staring at the sky
What a curse for me to stay here
I constantly beg for me
Torturing this soul to break free from feeling
Cosmic stagnation
Standing in a pool of wasted matter
The sight of beauty was only a phase
I stab at wounds that aren't even there
Trying to see the pain that's felt by everyone else
I only stand back and watch as the world churns into another shapeless form.
The rest of what I see is a landscape dying away
No more does it give me satisfaction
Lost in world without any life to concede
Keep on relenting all the dreams I’ve ever had
Begging for a reason to keep my mind intact
Dread as fools do in being so wrong for this place
I sit in silence wondering if this pain is felt by anyone
I long with praying scars, but I never truly feel a thing
For my dreams are lost to blind eyes and ears that drown out the sense that’s made of this world
Never will you see in colors I bleed, you'll never know how much there is to conceive
With every time I try to bring life to this world
It hides its gaze and backs away from me and leaves me outside
It's so hard to realize that nothing moves despite the hand that slowly reaches out and pulls the
pent up violence in your heart
And whenever I try to bring back a sight of this horrible place, I stand back as I know I don't understand a thing
Dissatisfied with everything
No more is this life worth
Pulling out the heart that is
Cosmically out of place
Why do I live by burning coals in fire?
I must be stuck in my own fucked up judgement of the world
So don't ever ask me about any of this
Lie
Outside I lay, dead
Outside I lay, dead
Outside I lay, dead
Outside I lay, dead
