And So It Came to Pass

Rise, and rise again! when the traitors stripped the land, the true wickedness of man was Great. the deluge sentence passed upon his flesh and bone, he tore great fists of clay to Create what should not have been. Rise, rise! rise, rise! rise, rise! and rise again! and so let it be written, that when the Silver pool is empty the vagrants will dine on that which they expel. breathing life Into a living statue, which moves with rigid stillness and lurks beneath the waves, Unseen We shall not bow down to he who wields the trident. we shall not kneel for he who Spawns the silent. we shall. not bow down to he who shakes the earth. destroying Blackened paradise-a savage rebirth. we shall not bow down to he who shakes the Earth. destroying blackened paradise-a savage rebirth Moving to erase his canvas-awash with the darkest depths of the abyss and sparkle of The surface. it gleams deceitfully awaiting life to swallow, tranquillity exposes Nothing of the perfect storm that will rise

Oblivious to success, foraging filth to wallow. Slaves to the nectar that the selfish gluttons swallow. Self-professed philosophers, the prophylactic's defective, it should force the hand to cleanse, and cleanse, and cleanse, and cleanse. A drone in the hive. A sheep in the flock. Bred to imperfection, this human livestock. A pawn on the board. A brick in the wall. This pedigree of failure where one is all. Individuals will always rot with the rest. They will never rise a cut above the nest. The iron messiah contains them with an absent crown; freedom is nothing but an abstract noun. The philocalists march where there's safety in slumber, against the swarm where there's idiocy in numbers Angels torn from the sky, crying warnings prophetic. These saints left in agony, flightless and pathetic are ripped apart piece by piece, screaming and frenetic. One is all. All are none. Never have so many done so little for so few. Afflicted with convention, a change long overdue. A drone in the hive. A sheep in the flock. Bred to imperfection, this human livestock. A pawn on the board in a game that can't be won. This pedigree of failure where all are none.

"Enslave!" Born into a world of monotony, shielded from all deviation. bound by the shackles of Fate. to resume all obligations put forth, led fiercely along a blackened tunnel, with The light at the end seeming so absolute. all other routes are blocked that escalate The track. "just follow the paragon and don't look back!” Emerging from the light to realize the euphoria, aeons of deliberation hoping to be True. devoting all to the promised life, but the future is distorted. no time for Judgment-it was now or never they make us make haste yet will not conclude. total Deadlock for the future sought. no logic, no reason, just ride the onslaught Observing the peers, emulating their ways. wearing them down, the spirit decays Tolerating the act to get through the fray, just do what they do, not what they say Forced on their production line-moulded, shaped and formed. scare tactics used to Put off any second thoughts. an archetype for greed, the evidence manifests their Will, disguised with false freedom. deciphering the clues, no practical reason to Comprehend. assured by the tyrants: "there will be a means to an end”. a chain Gang of fools is all that is to be seen, living out a sentence for another selfish Being. stamping out the dreams, engraving the mind, playing out the myth, Forever running blind. the failure of the scrutiny shall result in everlasting misery "Betrayed!"

Light it up. He destroys with the shining lamp of knowledge, the darkness born of ignorance. Orchestrated by Death himself. Master of the inferno, bringer of devouring flame to this transitory world. Divine dealings with mortality - residing in their hearts. Snatching the bounty for another human race, where holocaust is victory and peace is defeat. The radiance of a thousand suns bursts into the sky - eruptions surging outward, disintegrating the partisans as they march on to a death unknown. It begins. The swelling gloom which spells conclusion across the heavens. This is the splendour of the mighty one. Bound to this monolith - a tragic monument to his pride. The crowd once gazing skyward exclaiming wonder, they round upon him, blinded by his brilliance. Their eyes are opened as they scream: “Blasphemer!” In his twisted vision of the cosmic form, fouled by artificial breath, he shatters galaxies. “Now I am become death”. To end everything and begin, to become the destroyer of worlds. This is his conviction. Across the stars the scriptures are unfurled. The creator's revelation: End everything and begin. Imploring them to heed his scripture of liberation, he cries “Worship Me!” as they blow his legacy across the skies. Innocent screams entrap his mind, as the crowd continue taunting, lives that never were; relentless, torturous in their haunting. This is the splendour of the almighty one. Destroyer. Blasphemer. Igniter of the thousandth sun. This is the splendour of the almighty one. Destroyer, Blasphemer. Master of all and none.

"Grind down!" Eternally loyal to the dynasty, the driving force behind a prodigal empire. Defending its honour to the final breath, banishing all traitors with no regrets. Adhering to the cries of its master's desires. Poised, diligent and standing tall. Sacrificing all at its beck and call. Kneel and obey for its every need. No gratitude expressed from this mortal sin, spreading, conquering with expendable kin. Total domination - its only persistence. Assuming absolute over its wretched existence. Leaders outweigh followers, decisiveness fails. The message lost in whisper- chaos prevails. Mass hordes of tyrants command a sparse minority, sparing the efficient priority. Grinding down the gears of the machine, wasting wealth on maggots unseen. Living to serve the sole purpose - terminal and decaying. Exhausting the only resource. Working slaves to death, ruling by force. Everyone must suffer. It can just defraud, to satisfy its hunger for an undeserved reward. Leeching off itself, then assuming rapid assistance, expecting sympathy, guidance and unquestioned adherence. Comparative to an infant it must be spoon fed, to squander it all and seek sustenance again, and again, and again, and again.

A sanctuary to be disturbed, the innocent lay unaware of the forthcoming bloodshed Lured out as bait, they hail the masquerade, embracing their kinsman. as one deft move Breaks the oath, an ambush overwhelms their trust. frozen with fear they must lie And wait to abide by the code that is written for all Praying for the nightmare to end, losing all faith in their brethren Powerless as their pride is taken, lifeless watchers forsaken As the attack begins to intensify, victims attempt to pacify Spurred on by the rush of hostility, feeding off the animosity A sudden urge envelops the enslaved, the will to act and reclaim their throne Fear that once paralyzed the weak now drives the war to its resolution. charging the Outnumbered invaders, possessed by a ruthless entity To blindly eliminate, an eye for an eye, "slit their throats! bleed them dry!” Time now drastically hastens, the fight is over before it starts. the shock of Retaliation quickly sets in. left with no choice the survivors flee-no spoils of War, just permanent scars. the innocent remain victorious, they stood their Ground and held the line until the end. no compromise As the attack begins to intensify, invaders attempt to pacify Spurred on by the rush of integrity, feeding off the animosity Returning to be hailed as heroes, standing before the bureaucracy Branded as murderers they must stand trial, for they broke the code that was written for 'all'.

The downward spiral of a throwaway world, trapped beneath a steel sky. across the land The sixth extinctions at hand, cause and effect in a land of fools. the blind leading The blind, their eyes filled with desire. humanity sold out, for all they can acquire. A result of forward thinking; an obstinate normality. if one can control thought, Then one can shape reality What is the price for flesh and sinew? holding human life in cheap regard Empty shells to be used as tools and obey the rules in this land of fools Concealed within the ivory tower; dankly tarnished through atmospherics. hierarchs Head a colony where truth and justice are mere esoterics. building machines to work Like men, and moulding men who act like machines. this hegemony has ensured that the Ends always justify the means In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king The meat puppets will still serve; possessing no clear self-rule, their bodies are Machinery; unquestioned obedience, the fuel. vessels without personality, Force-fed an unending reel of rhetoric, the crowd consume the filth they're fed And remain moronic. everything they know is a careful construct, created by Minds superior to their own. in the kingdom of the blind, an eye can render Others might-less. by taking an eye for an eye, humanity is sightless
