No Catharsis Pt. 1
09:09
|
|||
Traversing another wasteland under another rotting sun
The fading light of decaying stars no longer guides the way
My reflection once looked back and condemned what it saw
As everything melted away, the mirror remained
Come rape me
Pick my bones apart
Damage the nerves
Let my mind wither away
Never sleeping when tired
Never tired when trying to sleep
Retching through a desert of fear
to find an oasis of death

Crawl, Walk, Crawl
12:56

The precious memories you hold are swept away into nothingness
You have been born into the world, a world of arbitrary suffering
Displaced as the wind blows petals of a dying flower
Blown into the vortex where time and space dissipate
The sky will bleed for me
We're digging our own graves
to timeless time and spaceless space
Roll your eyes backward
and see what lies behind your face
All dreams and ambitions
gone without a trace
Flesh and bone, muscle and tone
that once built towering monuments
grapple with their own decadence
The gods have abandoned you
Everything withers away
This is the price you will pay
Crawl, walk, crawl
Induce the fall
Crawl, walk, crawl
Heed the call
Crawl, walk, crawl
Induce the fall
Crawl, walk, crawl
Return to null
"Remember me as you pass by
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me"

Inanition
13:45
|

Walking through a charnel door
Unsuspecting of what awaits
Colors tarnish to ashen grey
as senses start to dissipate
As you accepted pain, you accepted death
As quickly as it came, did it take too long?
The end arrived and you took your final breath
The last note of the last verse of the last song
Shattered into fragments
Coerced into disarray
Manipulated astray
by marring, retching pain
Nowhere to run
No escape
Nowhere to flee
from death's embrace
The fight is over
Might as well sleep
and dream of a world
of retreat
Take your final breath
You don't have to say a word
We both knew this day was coming

Black Moth Queen
14:50
|
|||
Lurking beneath the guise
Mother of hideous creatures
Bestow your love
upon those forsaken by life
Spread your wings
Flutter in blasphemy
Blacken the light
Engulfed by infinity
Be my guide
as you sleep by my side
Solace craved
Lay me down in my grave
Take my hand
Queen of the damned
Take my breath
and caress me in your death
No one is exempt
No one will be spared
To whichever god you pray
Your day still draws nearer
|

Striving toward infinity
An ungodly divinity
On a molecular level
compelled to dishevel
Lifeless ambiguity
cradled in death's impunity
A withering sun
It has begun
Striking the nerve
Against the grain
All that remains
is endless disdain
Remove from me this heart of flesh
and give to me a heart of stone
Right eye staring into the abyss
Vessel intact, preparing to enter Hell
Explore the black holes of your mind
The inevitable crushing of life
The warmth of death in your veins
The great surrender to the next stage
Unfettered by mortality
Breaching all laws of morality

The Great Surrender
16:40
|
|||
Lost in a dream
Convulsing, screaming in my sleep
Writhing in fear
Howling out my final prayer
Bleeding, decaying
Gestating in emptiness
Melancholic precipitation
in maximum incarceration
Reaching this far
yet not far enough
The leaves have fallen
and come again
Still nothing has changed
Take everything from me
All the love, all the hate I have to give
Take my compassion, take my rage
and drown it all in a watery grave
Outstretched, legs agape
Preparing for a wretched birth
for which a hole will be dug
deep in the Earth
A daze unhindered in cosmic unbliss
Unitless discord as the Earth begins to yield
I've lost myself in everything
I've lost everything within myself
