Habitual Sufferance
04:32

Blackened tentacles chain me to the deep
This hypnosis breaks me where I´m weak
Tearing till the dagger hit the bone
Shatter my instinct
Pulsing through my flesh till I´m reborn
I am reborn
They´d sear a brand upon me
Labelled to the elite formidable throne
With their Mark they´d buy and sell me
Bought and sold I am left with nothing
Remove the limbs and the worthless eyes
The withered hands
A lament from the rotten lung as stainless steel and flesh are one
Mercy is a waiver signed
Toward deliverance
The levee breaks damning all mankind
As a heart and soul are forever confined
And as the memories fade
History erased
And from a singular cell
At midnight
Reborn
Still it teethes the silhouette
Mounting contempt
And as it bores I recall the pain
Locked in the urn with my human name
In the cortex I insert the code
I revel in the flames
Above the fire is the sordid moon
She´s returning me to mothers
Broken womb.

Revenge Unbound
07:12
|

Robbed from slumber conviction shattered and unnerved
Their pitiful minds
Bound to insolence their actions were not their commands
Only ordered upon
Cursing futility the rope burn gnaws the flesh
For this taste I had waited
Lawful tongue now advocates silence
As the blade threatens
Certain death
Hark!
The coward on his knees
Begging for mercy beneath a sword of burning hate
Mark!
The medallion encased in dust all but forgotten
The beast I warrant awoken
Prithee!
The ghost forestalls your plea
Confess now unto me did the cult ordain you loyal?
And at once I fulfil the oath I´d sworn
As the blood spits from the open vein I kiss the eyes of the nemesis
Rapturing the serpent hisses passage to me
`Sly hand for the croaking raven the scourge delivered her final reverie`
Wherein!
Hidden in the woodland till the morning bought relief
Dispelling the cursed blood
And thus!
My end foretold and conviction sought
By righteous ghosts of men
That spiteful cross spelt out justice to me
The cracking of bone within the gallows will unseat
The bearers of enlightened dreams
And in you Godless usurper Satan´s lie is true
Now hear the chants
The call for you head
Your blood will flow in the halls of the kingdom of man
And wading in deeper
Into the mist unknown
My sight is clear as I pass the gate
The forest sings my name
And here I´ve found you
Look upon me now
Does the Black Flame beckon you?
It´s summoning the truth
The pulse now waivers
I drift into those eyes
The spirit greets me with an open mouth
Drawing out the pain
And here we dwell now
Catatonic inside
Their moral God in shackles enslaved
The hamartia to their faith.

Weaponised
03:42
|

Lost in the shadows I found a passage marked by light
The fire from a star newly died
And it led me through quicker to a land draped in white
A world free of delusion and blight
I was lavished with promises of peace
by messengers of God
The nectar fraught
What I knew to be self
By his hand pain and hate succumbed
And in childlike submission
Mesmerised by the chanting
I boke bread with the one
The messiah
The unwavering
Divinity
With the stench of wisdom
And with heavens blessing
He claimed possession of the weak
Who had nowhere left to run
Withered our hopes began to fade
I found a way below
To a reptilian cave
And upon the altar lay the sacred scroll
Outlining the fee
Yet no word of our fate
Beyond the final release
And cowering in the darkest corner
I marked a figure
Blackened from beatings and dried blood
Beginning the sufferance anew
She relayed the horror of his reckoning
The crushing of bone and the debauchery of soul
Lay in wait for those who bow to that throne
From cruelty and sufferance you have sought to hide
But beneath this
A shallow semblance of life
So struggle with your will and fight with your might
Be the one who swam against the tide
Not engulfed by his fancy
A castle build on lies
Where hopes and dreams
Go forever
To die.

Pinned in the Lair
04:21
|

Seeping from the coffin
Miasma greets me ill
Clawed from the awaited solemn prespun phrase
Behind the mist leers that grinning face
Mocking deaths command by a greater will
And the manacle of hate
Still razor sharp
Encroaching my thoughts and guiding my hand
To a metallic trigger
Infesting my touch to the one I adored
Quivering in fear
In a trance the nights eclipse and bleed
Through the haze I wander
Condemned to the seventh spiral
I am pinned in the lair
Through veins of innocence courses that oil
Of sadistic intent
How can one defile fate?
With the Black Mark sealed
An inherited malignant eye
Plotting
Mocking
My promises
As I succumb to the malady
He embodies me whole
Devouring my soul
The father
The son
One and the same
A circle sealed
Locked tight
For the ritual
I sacrifice
To the birth right
I receive
In fevered awakening she beckons me
Her voice above the rapture
Through dutiful naive trust you were scorned
You bastard son
Of no wicked spawn

Blackness and Silence
04:41
|

There you lay
A corpse upon a practitioners bed
A stainless instrument
And my heart froze as you were wheeled away to the fire pit
To liquify
Does he await you there?
I try to say but there´s a loaded gun
Pointed straight to my head
And he´ll take your hand and trace you back to the life before
This horrid disease
Behind that mask
I hid away
From the fatal flaw
Of a surgeons blade
And I spoke the oath
Whispered to an empty room
To a photograph
And through its twisted form, the storm drew me deep into
The wicked eye
I was debilitated
Voices spun above me head
A cacophony
Revealing to me
The sorrow I thought I bore alone
But you saw it too
So find that peace
I can hear you say
And I´ll carry the weight
For the both of us
The moor opens and by her command, I step inside
Ushered by waves and led by a snake with a familiar face
Breathe once more
Exhale the terror and look for her sign
And he can go no more
Beyond this ring you are alone
To journey through...
The moor opens and by her command, I step inside
Ushered by waves and led by a snake with a familiar face
Breathe in time
Exhale the terror and look for her sign
And he can go no more
Beyond this ring you are alone
To journey through
The Blackness
And Silence

Citizen

Here I stand
The wounds of the soul have led me to solitude
Where the nights are so cold
In the ash beyond flesh the ghosts wander listlessly
Where our life way a lie
From that cruel world below I awaited my dignity
Still I laughed as he cried
For those tears of fear could never birth from me
They hissed those flames
And the cold teethed me raw as I was shown my worth in code
Did the dead find a way?
All that remained were the bones and a chamber of death
And the weak looked back
To find black blood upon every trampled star
To forgive was not mine
I will march in their name and suffer for those left behind
Yet she calls to the evening tide there's no more to remember?
Our dancing in the dead of night
And from my cage I can see her dragged away like the others
Eyes burning in a Zykolinc fire
Awaken the fury bury the sentimental deceit for whom does their pact benefit?
Not the sorrowed nor the weak who could not even cry out in pain, I will avenge you the ragged who to them, had no name
And consider if this is a woman to you without strength to remember empty eyes and womb whose worth is still yours to judge alone may your children turn and never meet your gaze
As you relinquish your guilt
You coward
Righteous Citizen
Colourless one, you were a strong man,
A woman walked at your side.
Empty companion who no longer has a name,
Forsaken man who can no longer weep,
So poor you no longer grieve,
So tired you no longer fear.
Spent once-strong man.
If we were to meet again
Up there in the world, sweet beneath the sun,
With what kind of face would we confront each other?
