Burning Skies

Atop the shameless tower
With wings outstretched
An apprehensive shadow is cast over all
Drain us of our divinity
And leave us dry amongst the dirt of men

In the worst of our nightmares we are weak and servile

We, as martyrs
Fear runs through our veins
Hung for grandeur and fate
We hang lifeless

With blind eyes turned from daylight
We deny
With blind eyes turned from the glare of being
Loathe that which we are

I abhor the undiscerning
No more of my blood will be shed of pity
With an empty and unforgiving heart
Once more, I scream to the sky

For I am mine
The rot of subordination I burn away

I am mine

Dead Oceans

The primeval genesis
Etched into forgotten flesh
In darkness, oblivious, we exist to no avail

To no avail
To never unearth

The insipid with their deadpan stare
Long for worth in dying oceans
To never unearth

By the scorn of weakness
Lay me to rest

Rip away the flesh we scarred with god
And scour our bones for deceit
Beneath the black shroud of abandon lay fields of us
Our bodies still; our minds hollow and sightless

Here we lay, nothing without deceit

The immortal, reflected in dead oceans
Drowned by frailty tied at their feet

Even still in death, this falls on deaf ears

I am the eyes of our inception
Sewn shut

Cold Becoming

Sleep now, willing hosts
In envy, accede to this void of life so bleak and fragile
There is only silence here
No resistance

A silent corrosion of mind

This innocence lost
The tide long retreating
You cannot see above the walls, encircling high

This sanctuary and its need, infectious
You will not see again
The infected will never see again

To claim this as nothing
You should not be of this world
Of those who preach death
Your words are poison
And those of stone in apathy
You crawl with them

You crawl with them in decay

This cold becoming never dethroned

Of those who claim this fire as nothing
I will forever despise

Beneath

Rejection
In gasping air from vast surrounds
Subjection to all that breathes it
Suffocate in the idle and empty
It calls for no one

The beast of no will
Gives rise the servants of cause
They hold their breath as it sets behind the hill
Banishing them to the dark

It will set and rise again and again

Speaking only of your end
It pierces your unyielding pretense
The illusion shattered and exhausted

It will set and rise
Dull and fruitless
It will set and rise again and again
With no ambition

THe Hollow Idols

Shallow worship of the azure and the earth
Not as they are or have been
Betrayed and distorted
Dragged through tarnished waters and purged in tongues

Gouge no deeper
For our hollow souls are upon us

Our hollow souls, our enemies, upon us

The marred hands of our leper idols wring us of all hope
Our hollow idols wring us of all hope
We have betrayed ourselves
And now forever lie dormant

Trailing this solemn road at dusk
At its end, we leave no mark
We have no future
We will be rightfully forgotten

Omens

The reverence of those lost owed to the land
To us it is withered and worthless
To us it does not belong

What of this radiance we have left behind?

Creatures of abyss, born of vice
We are not they
They preach chaos and delusion
And welcome it without breath

With the omens in flame
We are still; we desert the truth

Truth has no name here
Anonymous in clouded vision
Our disgrace, far from reach
Left unknown

The Destroyers of All

They fall from spoiled skies
Strangled of grace
And know only to mask their vile faces

They know not the figure staring back at them;
Not their beginning nor end
They surrender in blissful fate

The undying pariah
To which the cowards shun and beg remission
Cold-blooded and callous
It does not grieve

It will never grieve

So detached, the destroyers
Wide eyed in rapture and unfulfilled
In ignorance they remain
Until their ruin

Bring me the comfort of cold inertia
Bring me the graves, poised for our leaden demise

Our extinction, seeded in blind avarice

Come dawn, no light will be thrown on them
This vermin, these ingrates
Us of the earth
The destroyers of all

Drown Within

Evoke the lifesblood of man
The virus we have become
Shedding the skin and bone
Of this species, dead and jaded

In my callous nature
All pity is buried
Flaunt your feigned empathy
Forgotten

I cannot breathe amongst this affliction
Ever more oppressed

Tear away the leeches
And with them, we'll bleed
Strip bare the land, defraud
Or drown within forever

The dust settles on barren dirt
In our chains, we decay

Bound by deceit
The mortal consumed
Beyond death
We are lifeless

The axiom of being
Infinite

We are Nil

The eye burns bright
Laced with scars of deceit
Gazing into the void - the enemy
Betrayed
A dissident reality

Dig deep beneath your skin
Scratches of denial, of emptiness
Inherit unreason
Beg for fate
For we have wasted away

Lay low
The unseen lucid
In an age, fragile and expired
Emancipate

This collective conscious reeks of shadowed delusion
Existence is fear
A saviour from the surrogate utopia

So weep your blood sincere
Drowning in the deadest sky
Grasping the exhausted ashes of hope
Crowned in absolution
The eternal fallen
Suffocate

We are nil

Withered and Obsolete

The faces aghast
Consumed with hollow judgment
Those vacant eyes stare through me
With scarred hands to bind
They look back in fear

Fall into the flames of our origin
To lie still and wait

The baseless reverence you adjure
Is condemned by truth

Your divine, cast down from the skies
Cold and wretched
It runs through our veins
This is absolute
This is inherent

The spiritual will sever ties with man
And now alone we exist

From within us
Our worth ascends

Subvert the fallacy
A dying breed on their knees
The scorn of the earth
Obsolete

Subvert the fallacy
A dying breed on their knees
And now alone we exist

The scorn of the earth - the puritan
These days are no anomaly
Your blood will spill like any other

Within the mercy of this revelation
We are forever imprisoned

Caecus

The helpless wander in vain
To forget all before them
This inner sanction
A blinding vision

Through neglect we falter
All are subservient

To burn out the absolute
Shadow our nature

Crawl into the darkest of holes
With reason forbidden we fade
And our shattered remains will lay to waste

This is our weakness, our failing

Suffer at the hands of those we feed
With wounds to show for nothing
Breathe the ashes of our burning past
To swallow whole, the denial

These self-conceived walls close in upon us
And we shall never see the light of day

Tyranny

Shadowing the blinding light
From within our confinement
The hollow stare of thousands pierce the soul

Reject the innate
And no solace will prevail
Our bloodless tower over all
With their eyes full of god
They are blind to our dawn

Scream to the silent masses
Caution to their winds of contempt
Release me
To rise from their ruins

The roots of the mortal
Masked with our atrophy

Born of man, the tyrant
Reborn

The Earth at its Knees

The misguided rise now
Untainted and pure
Stand in ignorance
And fall in neglect

In inherent sorrow
Rip open your heart for me
The undeserving
Grieve for all

From rise to fall
We preach our dream
Dishonour

With the coldest shoulder
The balance is broken
So with disdain you may burn me forever
In anti-human desperation
This is the horror that binds us all

Buried beneath with our martyrs
Buried beneath with our scapegoats

The earth falls to its knees

The misguided rise now
Untainted and pure
Stand in ignorance

Our devotion
Our redemption
Are our own
My eyes are open

Soullessness Embraced

Etched into the earth's effigy
The graven image of man
Inhale your idols and parasites
Cold blood of the declining all

Visions of desire cut deep
Reject them and rot
Rot away in worthlessness
In fear, in isolation, in realisation

In fear of inferiority
Swallow the blunt reality
This earth bleeds for no one
Indifference is your existence
Indifference is your execution
Cower in shame

The shadow stalks in the wake of regret
My eyes roll back to never see again

And on my deathbed I remain silent
I cannot uphold the dogma
I will not shed this trusting secret
The coming soullessness embraced
Darkness
Fortitude
Nothing

Everything is Fire

To our end
To our blackest days we have come
Our demise, barren and futile

We are lost without fate

Reap what we have sown
We diminish, all nameless

And the realisation manifests
Only once will this burn
To diminish, all nameless
Only once will this ever burn

Recreate our failure
To relive, to revel in the boundless shift
For the bane of man and of all
Is now imminent

And the realisation manifests
Only once will this burn
And the realisation manifests
For nothing we know

The hollow will of the undying faithful
Belies us
Belies our being

Between this state and the next
We are lost
We are without fate

This burning inside cannot be defined
Our empty convictions erode in time

Stand on the edge of abandon
And stare into the searing sun
Forfeit now
For nothing we know

Everything is fire

Praise and Negation

Blame tarred with cursed ivory brush
Halos to sever heads of those below
Two millennia with faded words to burn
Fall to your knees or immolate your soul

Lungs filled with black
Cough of the wretched
I can taste the soot on my tongue
Deny the idle threats of those empty smiles
For deceit and dreams often are one

This skewed reality, dizzying and sweet
Open hands to trap the moth
Corrupt veins pump soured blood
The trap is set, poison awash

Heads to turn for promises betray
Chisel to stone with the world to pay

With eyes to the sky, faith begat misery
With eyes to the sky, the world shall burn away

I rise, for I can stand alone

The Mask of the Satyr

Cut away and start again

Cross out these serpentine eyes
Milk them for all they're worth
Shatter the white with Circe hammers
Slay the beast with three billion heads

Through noise and movement, filth revealed
I can smell the decaying musk
Stale breath reeks of lust and violence
And shaking hands reveal the rest

For I am nausea
From you to me

Insight crawls, drunk and bruised
Deep within the leaden grey
But majority rules with iron fist
So swallow the blood and cover the face

A new slate is needed for this cannot be cleaned

To turn the other cheek
Or cut it open and rip out the tongue
For now and for this
Forgiveness is rot

I'd trade it all for a chance to mend
To kill, to cleanse, to purge, to end

Loathing saturates, sour and foul
Only to be eclipsed by the sorrow
To cut away those close and near
Pull back the hammer and let it swing
Let it swing

Becoming The Lycanthrope

Revelation or annihilation

The futile and the fanatics
That is all we are
With scalpel incisions and flapping tongues
Bury the limbs of the hopeless

Clambering onto the funeral pyre, overwhelmed
Sacrifice and sedition
Let the ashes of our cancer rise
To be inhaled by the congregation

Carry your doctrine into the flames
Or swallow it whole and exit the wake

As the smoke blackens the horizon
Revel in your decision (delusion)
As the inferno turns to embers
Breathe in the essence of despair

Piss on the ash and the bones of the dead
Laugh and rejoice as the black turns blood red

But your carnivorous smile betrays
Revealing the teeth that will devour us all

A grin to mark the end of days

To Fell Goliath

Lynch the god of disease
And sever his wings
Hang him upon the red beneath the green

But the tyrants and sinners are waiting in line
And the mob is thinning and there is no time
With the blind masturbating the blind
The prophets are left with no one to lead

To fall on your sword
Or charge from the trench
Fall in to the black
Or choke their fields with our dead

Within the agony of the conscience
To gorge at the trough or to starve to death
Aversion of truths or affirmation of life
History to live or history to end

With the pinnacle past and crevice below
To leave the concrete to crack and the steel to corrode
Turn your back on this den of murderous thieves
Or with stone in hand do we go for the head?
A chance to cripple, cut them off at the knee
A wrench in the works to fuck the machine

Martyr of the Soil

Here we exist upon the cliff tops
Exhausted and empty
Sneering into the darkness below
Wet palms, coppery and thick
Lines of red to mark our progress
But to what end?

We are a part of this plague
Unclean and naïve
We climb upon the cross
To be crowned?

This will deaden all but the brightest lights
And I personify the black

I am despair

Fall away
Resign yourself to this faithless leap
For there can be no half measures
And the noose is already around our necks
Jerk awake with the revelation
And dangle above the maggots
The twine exists as the separator
Through suffocation and sodden eyes
She will not hold

Failure

Let me hang here, till sleep
To end my nightmare, to let me dream
To lie beneath the soil, alone
To let the world grow old

The Coming of Genocide

Blackness, inside to out
Like a benign tumor turned terminal
Here we are at the dawn our conclusion
Penned, paid for and played out by us all

Seconds slow as we count down to death
Reflection eclipsed by blame to place

Fingers point in every direction
While resting on hair triggers
The gun is our callous indifference
The bullet is what we have become
We have fellated fate for far too long
Taste our infliction, and know that we were wrong

There is a beauty within this violent paradigm
And that lies with the inevitability of our end

Staring into the abyss of man
Empty, consumed, ruled by its dead hand

May the horror of human nature
Feed the horror of realization

Caskets for empires founded on fault lines
Caskets for empires

Defaeco

Brightest white, blinding
Angelic and rustic
The greatest beauty I've ever breathed

I for one know what this is
The great redeemer
Our bastard child
Let it rise

Standing aside the crippled dreamer
We begin to understand the design
And prepare to climb back into the womb
To be reborn as bone and ash

Absolution is all that remains
Swallow the truth and chase it with blame

In bliss, watch our smiles melt away
Wash us away, drowned in relief
Still and open for the first and last time
Repaid and returned

Let our blood mix with the soil
The earth soaked in us all
Our sorrow and our pardons
Now, my good friend, we are even

This is our end
Forget

The Coming of Genocide

A race cloned of fear
Followers of the sun's dying blaze
Entering a broken future
Burning in the contemptuous dominion

Severed wings of the dove of peace
Black it's heart - crushed in my grasp

Declaration of an ancient war
Apocalyptic quest for domination
Invoking the fall of a culture
Defiled by the contrived laws of those blind
Wielding rebellious powers
Spilling blood of the Elysian upon a razed Eden
Ashes of dogma are swept away in winds of oblivion
As masses asphyxiate from inhalation of truth

Uncaged I gorge the flesh of lambs

Enlightened by impurity
Disgraced is their seed
The ignorant shall suffer

Unhallowed Ascension

Blackspawn invade the poisoned skies
I the master, enthroned by immortal right
Blood of crestfallen angels spills from the heavens
Your lord falls unto Hell

Laws of nature forged in perpetual fire
It's flames drowning the souls raped by the father of inanity
Abysmal tongues blaspheme the stigma of the dead hand
Condemning who drink the blood that drips from the crucifix of Golgotha
Abysmal tongues bless the standard of the strong
And command the bearer from the text divine

Faces of the justly damned is all I see
Screams of mortal anguish is all I hear

Purge the anointed
Execute insipid breeds

Greatness - supreme aim and value
Progress - achieve preservation of pure blood

Right is what benefits I

Scorn the Dethroned

Your tears of misery fill this chalice from which I drink
Disdainful as I witness your reality induced decay

Lost souls have no will of their own
The diseased beg for destruction
Beg for absolution
Bestowed light of dilution
Shackles of slavery embraced

Fuck your god - banish hypocrisy
Fuck your god - eternal enemy

A decrepit empyrean
Prepares the graves of millions oppressed
Ageless, unburied
The one who doubted his empire

Praise this primal entity
Sworn to dark sovereignty
Summon it's strength, it's wisdom
Only I can destroy me

Second Death

Storms of cleansing defile me
Shelter not from your wrath and fury
One's swift destruction
In final conflagration
My blood spills, my flesh boils

Marked for servitude eternally
Are those repentant unto forgery

In suffering the lesser wither in ineptness
Unsaved shall they be
In suffering I shall ascend
Angel of impiety
Saved shall none be
The earth shall burn in the bowels of my fervent abyss

Lies idolised
Implore in vein
May inhuman vengeance awaken you
Writhe in the undying flames of superiority
Spirit's sacrifice
My will, my right

My redemption is in your pain
My exemption is in your death

Subversive Supremacy

Belligerency against the weak
Conqueror, ascends the throne

Age of ruination
Blight of the final stronghold
Shed blood stains me
Attrition has ended
Inferiors enslaved
Degenerated empire
Behold as the beneath arise

Serving the hearts of those defeated
So we may feast upon in victory
Serving the blood of those compassionate
Raising a chalice, praising the triumphant

Burnt Offering

Your disciples of falsehood
In constraint benighted baptism
Charred wings disintegrate
Drowning in the tears of those forsaken
Angels are cast into rivers of blood
Bathing
Flowing through the kingdom of the nefarious
Bleeding

Eternal punishment
For sin is what I am
Odium absorbed
Bring forth my enemies

Stigmatised father
Divine I must be
Stigmatised father
Divine I become

Ill omened demonic martyr
Unwanting heaven as I run to the forbidden

Immolation of the seraphim

Ulceration

Hellspawned flames caress the flesh of the untainted
The distressed pray to the lord of lacerated sight
Watching their bleeding eye sockets cry
Brethren of assassination begin rites of damnation

Screams of the enfeebled
Echo throughout rebellious lands
As they struggle against spiritual execution
Soon to fall under the rule of the strongest will

Exhausted is the sun

Exiled to languished fields
Harvested is the dying
Heretical legions kneel
Before their master
Rise the sons of banishment - assault

Smash the Deceitful

Predator of the self righteous onslaught upon
Those who wished for peace gain hardship
Enduring as strength intensifies
Hatred empowers, I worship

Despair alight
The funeral internal
Desolation dominates

As I fall away
Envenomed - rule by my blood

Death shall prove superior than life
Heavens destroyed in holocaust

No god
No love
No hope

Smash the deceitful
