The Sulphuric Acrimony
08:13
|
|
||
i drank from the river
i now no longer remember
the stars sing to me toxic verses
suffering the sin i can find no peace in being
it festers with time
i am buried in the stench of dead air
my spirit is so unclean
sever all connections
disrupt all impulses
silence my flesh
and let all reason die
where is the essence?
the sulphuric acrimony burrows in my flesh
mind melts into contradiction

The Possessing Rage
07:23
|
|
||
this restless pursuit of meaning
lies buried under the noise
driven by a light so elusive
my restless heart has been set on fire
i think, feel and love with rage
i languish in fear with my own skin
i languish with fear of my own skin
war without end
come what may
leave the rest behind
eden lies obscured
the fever of dreams is my possessing rage
the sea of mercy is my funeral pyre
i think, feel and love with rage wild in my heart
until then all reason dies
i am a ghost clad in human flesh
i am a shade of all human sin
all that i feared has come
all that i cherished has gone

The Empyreal Bitterness
08:29
|
|
||
how far am i to walk to reach the sun?
how high am i to climb to kiss the apex?
how hard am i to labor to break the mold?
how long until blood washes it all away?
there is no eternal return
the only way onwards is upwards
i have lost the steps left behind
will i ever touch the ground again?
so empty up here
it has come to this
atop this gracious high
there is nothing for me to revel
no greater sting to the self than nothing
how long am i to endure until blood washes it all away?

The Dispelling Dream
08:29
|
|
||
clearing skies unveil a new dawn
and then there was you caressing the wind
like a ghost living in human flesh
wake me up to dispell the dream
who are you, shadow?
why do i feel welcome in your presence?
why do the skies clear with your last breaths?
why does it all make sense?
speak to me!
you have found the way inside
you have spoken to my inner word
you have exposed my hidden weakness
you have made my heart run wild
you are the eye
speak to me!
are you here to claim my soul and carry me home?
or are you here to torture it and cast me away?
here is where the circle begins again
i see your self exposed in plain sight
your silence cannot last forever
speak to me!

The Unsound Surrender
08:37
|
|
||
"you know who i am
you know what i do in life
you know what's mine is never yours
i will snuff out your theivish heart
and feed it to the worms
before you ever get to mine!"
i refused a sound surrender
though you wore the devil's mask
i held you tight in my hands
though your flesh was made of razors
instigate me
penetrate me
rape me of my will
permeate my soul
disintegrate my fire
surrender!
this temple must burn
these halls must break
but there is too much at stake
too much reminding me of what i am
"you know who i am
you know what i do in life
i bury the hope that doesn't belong to you"

The Antagonistic Venom
08:36
|
|
||
poisonous deliverer!
instigator, accusor, opposer
you have spoken to me your worldess venom
and you have fed my heart with worms
so be it then
you have spoken your peace
you have made your choice
you are the antagonistic venom
here is where you no longer belong
as you become the enemy of my blood
do not dare look at me
or i will rip off your face
do not dare speak to me
or i will cut out your tongue
the sanctum defiled
welled up and befouled in your excrement
all of your sights and sounds sicken me
pale monuments of my own betrayal
i will burn the bridges and move forward with my back to you
and then i will feed your heart with worms
until you are a ghost passing into the night
there is nothing more to say
what was shall never be again
you spoke your peace to me
now i speak mine to you

The Flesh Unbecoming
08:30
|
|
||
i rage into the dying of the light
afflicted by their illusions
the blood shall well up the springs
and there will be no more peace
true nature unfolds
a new war begins
come what may
all voices stain my resolve
i despise them all
foreign tongues who fate with my enemy
please do not speak
the flesh unbecoming
the salt-stained madness
a march towards the new disease
i am the dragon sent to consume
until the sickness reverses it's course
and i fall unsoundly into the good night
i burn with the falling of the sun
i drown with the meaning lost
a golden lake souring with time
and all colors running from the sky

The Rivers Rising
08:11
|
|
||
do you remember the days?
those when you were safe in her arms?
and all that you feared was an afterthought?
prudence has failed
providence has fallen
do not fight it
the battle has been lost
just give in to the undercurrents
this rising river was your doing
just let it swallow you whole
for it will be your only peace
deprived of all living senses
light no longer means anything to me
just enjoy the silence below
for it will be my only peace
rejoice i will only in the silence below
deprived of all living senses
all that i feared can never touch me again
i wait for sleep to take me home
i wait for me to be numb once more
no river can ever take me back

The Stranding Still
08:40
|
|
||
all stands still
yet onward it moves
unstoppable contradicts unyielding
this godless oblivion is the last frontier
upon these damned banks of river's end
i am left with my wings broken
a wounded bird weeps within it's cage
the only home it ever knew
we both flew into the same storm
we are both tied to each other's fate
please forgive me
zephyr flies to the horizon-less dawn
we both know it may never return
i forced you into the light
now i am forced to watch you burn
i drank from the river
i now no longer remember
