Pestilence & Rapture
It comes from deep within So swiftly without warning A place that no one speaks of Cares not for what's at stake The beast tears into walls of the soul Incessantly Then breaks loose Writhing and wretched It breathes genocide Upon the fiber of your being Until nothing remains Hosting monstrosities Body becomes a vessel Controlling every step that's made If left undone, true self expires For all time May silence keep you always Pray for the death That you wrought Walk with me Come feel the light once more Releasing this ghost of ages Transforming before my very eyes Reflection not my own Descending to lifeforms unknown Evolving within to find a way To cross the line, staying alive Release me, be done with me Become no more

Since infancy a void Has plagued my existence Attempts to disregard such anguish Only magnified the hollowness So many years Have came and went Without a single trace of you This half a man, with half my heart Who I've been searching for Since i could walk And still I hold on To faith that we shall meet again I'll stay forever strong Until the day I find Where I belong This broken child Collapses forth In desperation Come in, make this life complete And stay forever more The memory of you now Seems like fading moments Passing by Like senseless dreams That beg to wake me From my comatose reality Disposed of precious love As though none was ever needed Addiction over blood The time has come to rectify What you have done This passage is the fruition Of a life confession through song Reaching out, holding on to the hope That you will make me whole

Whisper softly in the dead of night Conspire against yourself Every selfish act and thought Comes back with no remorse Incarcerate the one Blind with jealous rage Invoking wrath upon What now remains Lay down your weapons Become yourself once more Waken, realize, release your mind Weak willed fall far behind Sometimes all that's needed One last push Straight over the edge So now the story Has changed course What once meant the world Is now nothing more Than a fading memory A vicious facade unveiled You long to squander Strength that has been bestowed Upon the life That has now become A lifeless shell A fossil, preserved in memory Forever projecting deception A place only evil resides The strife endured You can't leave behind Your hardships, they become my own Weighed down by instability All is now lost No comfort lies When the flames have died below Still I rest in solace Knowing that all was done to warn I will not lose myself In all this drama Swiftly comes resentment Burning through no threshold The realization Of relentless destruction Will be found Only then the true price Shall be paid

From it's origin The bond we set Seemed never failing Yet paralleled truths Would shadow my dreams With a dormant evil unrestrained Still trusting nature Will allow the signs To be ignored Never will I falter This way again For my will eradicates Treacherous fallacy Fate beckons the reaping Of your alienation These broken words Leave shattered hearts Unmask this trite facade Triggering loathsome rage Unforgiving karmic malice Farewell the favored The loss is your own Remember this presage Losing self is much like being dead So now this bond is banished As infinite as time itself Never again shall it mend And this farewell is welcome

The gloves have been removed Lets see it to the end May the better man prevail With hopes that we can bring Some closure to this nightmare Never speak of this again They say kill your idols Yet idols are the source of inspiration With one exception When the chosen prove to be Everything but what they are Slipping through the cracks Creating peace of mind Quaintly slithers down your back Undetected, creeps behind Siphoning the very structure Built upon false pretenses Crumbled reality Welcomes lividity It's becoming real Let's put a stop to this The past reveals What you have become A boundless black oasis Consuming swelling scorn A helpless apparition Refusing to make right What's been destroyed by your hand When all has been forsaken I will be the one To hold you to this promise This war has come to you There will no longer be carnage In the house of brothers This game of smoke and mirrors Has been revoked

Since the dawn of creation Mankind has been hexed Constantly torn by forces Beyond comprehension The endless struggle Of pestilence and rapture They will be heaven sent Or hell bound Each with equal intention Bribing the subconscious Waging war for control Manipulation their ambition From the womb we are mere targets For earthly free radicals Shifting shape as they see fit To compensate for no escape Steadfast with your convictions Seek out that which brings obliteration Utilize each with positive force A Taoist approach will mean harmony Now among the enlightened Rising above Regardless of the challenge Transitions with ease What once destroyed the spirit Is of no consequence Falling back to the point Of no return Deceivingly simple Focus, restrain the weakness You have found a higher power Pestilence and rapture Battles within us Seeking to destroy The choice must be made now Submits, comments, corrections are welcomed at webmaster@darklyrics.com ACROSS THE SUN LYRICS
