Beckoning Tribulation
Announced the departure of God Proclamations of doom that shake the temple foundations A resounding blow descended upon man on pestilence wings of dissipation An epoch of cowardice makes murderers of us all Beware the hand that points to transgression Many hide a blooded blade behind their back A back ripe to be stabbed Idol and disciple betray one another Avoidance and guilt disperse amongst peers Only the craven prevail And what of morality? With the vanishing of the divine revenant and the total decline, Wreathed in blood and hallowed sacrifice Undying devotees acquiesce to a ruination creed Manifesting in the shadows of consciousness Triumph of the growing hecatomb and within the vacuum of quelled sanctuary A plague monarch ascends the throne amongst tendrils of undying smoke and flame The sacral rites of past fervour now dimly echo with asthenia Temples become mausoleums to house the deluge of fallen doctrine Light severed from sight and touch If dark pall envelopes the spirit of man We are left to the cold and damning embrace An uncaring cosmos turns its back on us The sun has betrayed us The guiding light has been snuffed out Beneath the ashes of our hubris, we suffocate fervently

Death surges forth in a paroxysm of fire, a relentless affront to divinity Exalted flagellation crusade advances, each lash suffered forges a new chain of servility A knotted bone sceptre smites atop the ruins, excoriating the void skull of the last man Old ways crumble beneath strikes of contempt, promises of progress and paradise emerge Mankind forgoes meaning and duty Potential wasted in vacuous frivolity Pierce that which was once sacrosanct Doubt gnaws at the entrails with zeal New meaning arises from the remnants of truth If maimed congregation staggering forth to their doom as moths to the pyre of their self-immolation Harken the hopeless decree beneath the falling spire adorned in blood Rejoice in the coming carnage The righteous trampled underfoot, civility negated

Unraveled and unbound, headlong into the waves of degradation Dogma's insatiable laws hunter for new sacrifice Without the veneer of the divine man is left to wander freely No gods, no sanctuary Yet still new masters must be answered and obeyed Obescient and fettered, bound by devices of his own making Chained to the corpse of morality, the psyche is haunted An epitaph proclaims that eternity itself must die How man longed for freedom, for the cruel shackles to be released Yet he knows that he is as autonomous and impermeable to the subterfuge of zealots Man willingly regurgitates what was blindly spewed upon him Gladly bending to the whims and wishes A victim to the world of his own doing The blind and the seeker, the scorned and the saint The hypocrite, the liar and the fool The judge and executioner The victor and the victim

Amidst beckoning tribulation, solace is found in fleeting glimpses Soon abandoned in the necessity of survival Trust diminished amongst peers, friend and sin Turmoil fills heavy hearts, overwhelmed in grief Cataclysm is normality, all for the common good Manipulated to venerate self-degradation Bound and blinded to our own nature, the subjugation of self becomes the highest of virtues The death of hope dances upon a noose between divinity and emptiness Illuminated by a thousand burning pyres Ressentiment, ever-consuming and engrossing, without solace and without quarter Mercilessly, the altruist is self-effaced Social fabric clings to frayed threads unraveled Sanity and prudence are strained, thieving and quarrel now common Disease is a painful companion to the ever-present famine; hope dies painfully and slowly If yearning never fulfilled, a hunger never satiated Doomed to march... For an ever-escaping eternity

A betrayal, conspirators turn upon one another Rabid mouths engorged with blood Nourished on the flesh of sympathy, deceived by the guise of righteousness, solidarity buried in the tombs of civilisation Entranced by fatalism Abrogated, doctrines falter Defected, judged, and scorned, endangered predators are castigated Accepting the inevitability of our doom, we become permissive to the most brutal of measures Promise of rebirth through righteous destruction From the ashes of our forebears, a flame anew rises Catharsis in degradation, continual weakening, erosion of the corporeal Exposed and opened wounds now fester, attrition of spirit, venerated impotence Cruel phoenix of piety born from reason's dust, a yoke to confine fate in a cage of zealotry To be rid of weakness and dependency and no longer clutch at an uncaring idol Emerge into the spiritual wilderness, apatheia knowingly, alone, calloused and aware

Revelations of suffering, inheritance of pain, progenate upon hapless mass Edict of ruthlessness, ends lustily means Razed cities and monuments, only terror in wake Aimless multitudes without direction, chaos takes hold; uncertain times unfold Undermined and obsolete, this was always destined We swam against the current aimlessly, circling an endless drain The futility of resistance before the disorganised and brooding mobs Propagating the utmost uselessness Insanity contagion spreads, ushering the coming collapse You must fulfill this duty to the downfall, be it with guile or with force Monstrous fire ascending, the innumerable flee in futile dread I embrace the flames that man seeks shelter from, for I am of the crucible A new man is forged in my image

Resolve of the paramount position, undisputed hegemony Transgress the concept of hope itself Trample the vapid, insipid and frail Obfuscating the minutia of old, inquisitor of righteous conflagration Tempered of the coldest steel, guided by the coldest will, operative of the coldest discipline, yet still the manifestation of fire Only the calculating will inherit this world, confound the stragglers with the promise of sanctum Promulgate discord and anxiety; accelerate the final decline Long may the flames of our vengeance burn and feed from the bones of our enemies And fuel the furnace of destiny, so that we may forge our might ordinance The world a feast and a famine in parallel, deceived throngs butcher for the scraps Malcontent sowed deep in impotent minds, strife and fear strangle all throats Entropic maws, vast and yawning, tear within the flesh of the divine And sever the flesh of the wicked And drain the flesh of the covetous And lash the flesh of the defiant And crush the flesh of the hopeful Scourged bodies dissipate in violent rays, dissolution of essence No mercy spared, no solace found, no clemency granted, no empathy left The ruthless, the cunning, and the fragile perish alike Morality is dead Hope is dead God is dead Man too shall die... God is dead Man is dead.
