Line Your Coffin
05:57

Don't you see the problem
Ruminating in allure of ignorance
Corpse mind demonstrative of bliss
Let's see the morbid fact of life
Confining mass beyond the grave
Coffin lining reached
The maggots through the seam
In this spur of light
Lament your conscience til it's gone
Indescribable
The sound of each pang
Lies reflecting over
Your memories
It couldn't see the cause
Deliverance beyond
Has got us nowhere
Just inside a hole
In this we fall
Under control
Religious fear induced
Heresy designed
In this spur of light
Lament your conscience til it's gone
Within the soul
The qualm of meaning goes
This purpose held inside
Escapes us all
Cursed to be culled
We're buried gullible
Possessions act to snuff
The coma time and time again
Denied
Denied
Betrayed
Inert plight
Encouraging more veins to seethe
In barren paths leading straight to the brain
Whisper of regret died bleeding ear by ear
You will see it
I hope you see it
The will is starving as of late
Try
To retain
More
The rest
Becomes
Remiss
Adjust
Abcised
Obstruct
Out of God

Downfall of Civilization
04:50

Masses wasting away to the light
Monarchs taking the last of their fill
The culmination of power through lies
Now is the time where society crumbles to dust
Return us to the rest
Exterminate the last
Cancel the transcendance
It doesn’t look good
For UUUUUUUUUSSS!
NO ANSWERS TO THIS
Revolution defines the change
The system breaks under prophecy
Tides shift in place for the herd’s salvation
Outrage and scorn lead us to eat the rich
Return us to the rest
Exterminate
Omnipotent banks threaten collapse
Absolution through resource control
Building it up in price to siphon
Our source of life in the aftermath
Creating a society of the elite
A cult of scientists, doctors, and tyrants
Select groups of oligarchs choose to play god
Creating technology given to them by demons
Trickling it down for the people to cede
Control of themselves, the sheep are scattered
Populations polarize into groups
Tribal mentality out of control
Splinters of discord unlock a slaves shackles
We outnumber the masters beyond the sum
Viscous, bloody battle between good and evil
From air to ground, it is lit up in fire
The structure breaks down completely,
And the people stand on top again
Greed liquidized, squalid in power
Rubble of society crawls up from the deep
Like a Phoenix, there is always rebirth

The Abyss
05:06
|

Choking out of your mind
You leave life to me
I see your eyes in my reflection of what I used to be
Your eyes will see stars as I watch them fade away
Burn my skin in lasting marks
With you I’ll make the pain go away
Caressing your life in my hands with mortal control
I’ll quell my rage in your last breath
Into the abyss
Hands choke you into a bliss
Hold onto the words you miss
Fade out into nothingness
Wring you tight, contorting your neck
I will rest upon your last breath
No way to break free from the reins of a madman
It’s all down to the grip in my hands
No more words to make your lies correct
The pressure on your neck collects from inside my head
Hold you down cradled in life no more
Breathing no more
Your eyes forever dim
Into the abyss
Hands choke you into a bliss
Hold onto the words you miss
Fade out into nothingness
Say it to me, the things you made me believe
The lies you concede have made a fire in me
Breathe no more, corrupt me no more
Come down to the depths with my blackened conscience
Into the abyss
Hands choke you into a bliss
Hold onto the words you miss
Fade out into nothingness
Your husk in my hands
No more life in your bones
I am a man anew
I stand now thanks to you

Meant to Fall
06:22
|

Contest of reaction
Undermining the weak
Your weakness too is one
Bound by malevolence
Reach both hands forward
Meant to fall below
Grip tightly inside
Madness calls from beyond
Unbridled power breaks out of the tomb
Your innocence reaves the fear you command
Reach both hands forward
Meant to fall below
Grip tightly inside
Madness calls from beyond
Instinct learned
Resentment spurred from institution
Brazen lie
Biting down on pain like meat
Cycle broke
Madness choked on too much a gulp
Raving swarm outside the door of perpetration
Damned
Placed in this hell
Praise or waste in the hole
Raised to be replaced, extinguished
In time we arise again
Chased into the core, restlessly bleeding out of life
This vicious cycle between a monolith of time and you
This Institution
death eats the monster you let yourself become
Unchained
The witness can never take me away
Witness
Come back detained
Believe it yourself
You are all mind now
My innocent plight played out before
My heated, twisted remorse
Hardened to metal
The voice I slash
Deep into gut wrenching truth
A reason for pain
Contradicts hate

Bury
04:33

Enter an instance unwritten in time
No hope in your soul, rotting your eyes
Trapped , clawing, eyes are blind
Extinguishing your life to
Reveled in material lies
Procreated the last plague
Stirring inside the mind
Maggots trenching paths to
the center of your being
The last cause of your wasted governed flesh
Buried in remorse
Your home
Encapsulated in dirt
Thoughts continue
Comprehend the
Loss inside
A swan song of a
Last memory
In ego death bliss
A soul or a being
Is no longer relevant
Never to retain form
Beyond the conglomeration
Of what you have failed to become
Buried in remorse
Your home
Encapsulated in dirt
Thoughts continue
Comprehend the
Loss inside
A swan song of a
Last memory
Regret...in every word
The horror in an existence so clean
You will not see
A lie to believe
In retrospect no way to escape
Regretful words forever seep into your
MIND to never ask this
WHY passions lost inside
MY feeble bones that crumble in
TIME to be lost by astral wind
You left me aside

Struggle to power
Feel the burns of time
Rage on with fire
Forever with primal rigor
Burn
Burn harder, show me power, don't tell me you won't go through this
Pain, dreadful disdain, get up out your stagnant wasted self
You may think of leaving this place
But if you try to escape,
I'll drag you back here with your ashes
Burn, come on, fuel the pain and burn
Come on, scream louder,
show me the pain creates something more
The way this time turns out,
Cut down to simple means:
It's being alive inside bodies burning,
and looking inside to see the light of fire,
That makes our eyes so bright
You must prepare those eyes to see
The way purpose lies inside the fire
In cinders lies the pain that leaves
A worse state than burning up in rage
Look down, dig below the doubt
With Fire burning over your head
Collect the bones of your charred remains
Breathe fire into something to live for
There's no way for you to escape
Don't make this in vain
You owe it to breathe more into your life
Burn, come on, fuel the pain and burn
Come on, scream louder,
show me the pain creates something more
The way this time turns out,
Cut down to simple means:
It's being alive inside bodies burning,
and looking inside to see the light of fire,
That makes our eyes so bright
When remnants line your brain and nothing’s there for you to see
Inside, the dark makes you cold
When the pain burns you no more
Remember, this world engulfs you whole
Reach forward from cinders inside
Crawl through the sky and find a light above

Sacrifice
05:26
|

Heed the price you’ll pay for the indulgence of desire
All who live carry a dark secret to behold
Subconsciously, their personal demon leads to destruction
Culling the worth that a mind so arrogantly calls his own
Shape the reason to hold life in our hands,
a vacuum soul of what we think we want
Plaguing what we truly need
Sucking out the mineral source of thought
Infectious words bleeding into the wound
Committee of twisted malevolent lies convening in malicious intent
God talk consuming lives
Wasting their consciousness
Instigate revelry upon fools instinctually
Shape the reason to hold life in our hands,
a vacuum soul of what we think we want
Plaguing what we truly need
Break the reason
Create credence
Split the difference
Give us interest
Words bleed unduly
Cattle walk on death fields
Rage fuels the discourse
Slinging animosity
Recourse comes down to trauma based control
Putting up the chance to reach the center
Prey
Show the priest your honest intent
Cast the light away from your gaze
Curse the prophet consume his sight
Bleed his conscience, step on the throat
Plots set in placing leading into the hole
Souls cast upon this web of control
Moths swarm the light fleeing away from the gloom
Caught swirling deep down into the void
Shape the reason to hold life in our hands,
a vacuum soul of what we think we want
Plaguing what we truly need
Corruption depleted
Rust in time, retribution
Remorse fell on blind eyes
Judgement fell a thousand time
Heed the warning signs of pestilence
Calling for a change in structure
Lift the pure away from extinction
Sweep this hell of its vagrant plight
Sacrifice the curse

Forget The Faceless
05:03
|

All you are is the mirror reflecting yourself
Your cares feigned apathy
Your life has become a smudge upon a diamond
Easy to wash away
You are sand getting whisked away into the wind
Your waters hold no moisture
The blood that courses will seep into the ground
A cause, unfavored, disturbs your way
This reckless gift, loses all faith
Cloud your judgement, muddy the water
Your search comes up empty, like prophecy foretold
What is suffering without a reason?
Are you the end result or far worse?
A cause, unfavored, disturbs your way
This reckless gift, loses all faith
Did you hear that cry far out in the distance
and recognize its voice as your own?
If you wouldn’t listen now,
The dire mistake is made
You will never know again
The feeling of your true self in form
Desire consumed your thoughts,
and apathy sold the rest
You held transcendence ransom
Leaving you with ignorance
You'll always be searching for more
With hands that can never hold
Your given life was wasted
While your mouth soiled truth
What is suffering without a reason?
Are you the end result or far worse?
To your death’s conceit
Childish belief
How you will see shame
When I seal you inside
The bother it becomes all mine
Mass wasted in the attempt
Your bones rattling through time
The shame of your naked eyes
Project onto a canvas blank
I was born to be myself
And that outcome will never be again

Conspired alliance with evil spirits
Your instincts foam at the mouth
Delicious feeding upon the weak
Claiming resentful grievance of pain
Siphon the terror of children
Pool the discord into an offering
Feed off this deceitful aura who
Totes the absolution of life
When the back is stabbed it falls through
Behind a festering wound
Animosity boils in a well
To drown the virus out of purity
Blasphemous acts recorded down for the rightful punishment
Demands of pain deserve this judgement,
Swift and resolute
Stuck running away from your evil deeds
Invaded by your indignation
Heedless to please your life away
Remorse degrades your crumbling bones
Try to turn back on your sins
Watch your eyes face you as you run from your fear
Your fear
Blasphemous acts recorded down for the rightful punishment
Demands of pain deserve this judgement,
Swift and resolute
A fool denies the system set in place
Made as a web for soulless blasphemers
It comes to a point where you give up your mind
And let the monster take full control
Exposed is the corpse
Fed upon by time
Husks of your memory
Shredded off the skin
The body of father lies bare
Found in mother’s eye, a burden to spare
Repentance is the function of damnation
Your denial causes death’s wish to linger
Don’t run away from fear
The terror you flee from will turn you
Back towards its gaze
Don’t go too far the wrong way
To turn back now is to fall down as if from a tree
To live longer than death and to continue to suffer
That is what becomes you as you fall ceaselessly towards the void
Get inside my lair
My desire is your suffering
The sinking belief that you can never leave
Come closer to me, give me your impetus
I catalogued all your transgressions
The ignorance you spout will be poured right
Back into your mouth
The secret you keep has cried damnation out from silence
Pulling you into that cage where you held the word victim hostage

Decimation

Decimation
An image of hope
Spurned by weak will
The end calling forth
Bleed the common folk
Collect their reap and sow
Measure instability
Feed off dissolution
Instinct lies to fear consuming
Deep claws pulled the way to desire
Good causes induce
Culmination of fear
Inside the swell of
Blood flow and adrenaline
War mounting through hatred
Dehumanize the enemy
One race stands on the death mound
History for the victor
Hard times create strong men
Strong men create good times
Good times create weak men
Weak men again make hard times
Instinct lies to fear consuming
Deep claws pulled the way to desire
Cowardice incriminated
Judgment falls on feeble instigators
Breathe
Blessed
In Blood
Stepping on
Infertile cords
Organ passage of
Substrate material
Raking leaves accumulating
Around remorse
The travesty becomes the burden of guilty players
Instinct lies to fear consuming
Deep claws pulled the way to desire
Cowardice incriminated
Judgement falls on feeble instigators
Bury your insignificance
Shame away the light in your eyes
Drown in filth gargling your last words
