Horror Vacui
Our time ended years ago As it did a thousand times before You have not seen it and yet it's true Just because you're paranoid Does not mean they're not after you There is always another millennium Another disaster, a new omega We march towards the end With our heads held high And with ever gathering speed Prophets of doom shouting in our ear Tales of terror, disease and death Seek shelter before it is too late We are safe In our world wide see-through coffins We are always aware And yet know nothing We learn nothing As our story repeats itself Going round same cycle again With high hopes and bound eyes In our chronos every moment is a new kairos A new chance to welcome The gathering shadows Prophets of doom shouting in our ear Tales of terror, disease and death Seek shelter before it is too late We are safe In our world wide see-through coffins And when the end comes again We empty our memories And start preparing for Apocalpse anew A new world order And so it shall be done

I am the darkness cast upon an army of shadows Ageless horror that spreads from the center of earth I am one, I am all, escorted by dauntless hollows Terror and disease spread, we are afflicted at birth I am the origin of life and the cause of death Delver of dirty secrets, the voices in your head I am the hands of god, holiness wrapped in barbed wire Dealer of arms, face melting bombs and soldier swarms I am the locusts, the floods and the four riders I am all and none Speechless and numb There’s not much to say On the verge of oblivion Dry your tears, enjoy fear Stand as one Get ready to die Stare into the sky And I will look back Get ready to die This world melts and we melt as one Get ready to die My name burns in your mouth and rings in your ear Truth and deception, your hope and your worst fear Slayer of giants, oppressor of weak, the dark insider I am the locusts, the floods in your fields, the seven seals And the holy wars I am death And I looked, and behold a pale horse And his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth To kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth —Revelations 6:8

I have sewn my eyes shut Ears blocked, tongue in a knot All covered in rust Rooted, skin bleeding dust My breath is cold And this heart of stone Hands clench to a fist As I slowly cease to exist Wish I was blinded by fear To see if I could shed a tear Born forever, always reduced to dust In the ground I becomes us For once I wish that I could see How to end this misery I fall holding my ground As black snow keeps falling down Under a pale northern sky Where all hope goes to die Despair follows, surrounds, leaks from me And fills these grounds When our strings are cut We all fall face down in the mud Raised from and into a mold Soon erased out of this world Momentary lucid moments come to tempt To end this bad joke To say I matter would be a goddamn lie, but what about it? Today I will wrap barbed wire around my head And run into the blistering cold with a smile on my face

What can we say Sky is burning Earth is turning And we are on our way So it turned out to be like this Whispers of solace, soothing words But it hurts like hell Knives and swords It hurts like hell Our Abyss

Inside our wretched maze We are full of worms Crawling in a mindless state With no hope of getting out of here Suffocated with our own dreams Mind erased till no wisdom remains Armies of coma march again, our bodies are just stepping stones On the altar of tragedy Our thoughts are slowly removed We sold the soul of our kin for reason long forgotten Toivon taivaankannen repeävän yllämme Ja että imeytyisimme ylös avaruuteen Toivon valtamerten halkeavan edessämme Jotta voisimme nähdä alas syvyyteen Ymmärrätkö kun sanon Toivon ettei tästä jäisi jäljelle murentakaan Uskotko kun kerron Että jokainen tässä maailmassa kuolee yksin Under Octobers blood red sky We tear into each other’s flesh It comes from our backbone, cut your way through, the strong will always prevail Dark corners are becoming crowded Getting stampeded again I want to pound my way out of here, but I am on my knees, again I scream I wish the roof of the sky tears off And I get sucked up into space I wish the great wide sea opened up So we could gaze down at the deep Do you believe when I tell you There will be nothing left of this Can you fathom as I say Every creature on this earth dies alone This is a lonely place to die

Crawling back To quench my thirst Surrounded with water But never satisfied Nothing between This skin and bone Nothing to nourish Though I devour Free to roam the earth But too weak to do so Rattling my invisible cage But the bars will never break Free to roam the earth But too weak to do so Put down by those We authorized to make us free Just skin and bones But there is lot to be taken away See me through and through There must be something for you to take We are all just one neck Forever in a chokehold Invisible hand grips us tight Never lets us go I am free To do as you instruct I am free To become who you construct I am free Free to follow And I am free Forever hollow

There is no point to act If there is no tomorrow In a place of nothing We are all born and raised denied of rights Stuck in a world of easy solutions Simplified and stripped to a frame A blank tape for someone to play Amongst an audience of deaf and the dull Dressed to impress the blind In a universe of dark stars Words like firebombs thrown in masses Just in time to watch the world burn Dream bliss movement through coma Filtered feelings and senseless acts Injected thoughts, predictable future Destroyed bodies come with shattered egos Storm bent trees stripped of leaves Waiting for a spring that never comes Dried up roots aching for water Useless reach for an ever setting sun There is no reason to act For there is no tomorrow In a kingdom of failures Walk through fire just to get drowned Stand up to hear the gospel of damned Soothing hymns for the forsaken An observer on the deck of Mary Celeste And weather is looking fine Delay time to hear the attrition of minds In the market of bad ideas Every soul is a price taker We are all done here, pour salt on the ground

I float through infinite void Absorbed by all surrounding silence Got lost here months ago Mind scattered across the stars Your words still haunt my thoughts Be safe my dear, we will see soon Choke us ’till we die We the ignorant We don’t know how to scream And we learn but there’s no air left To carry these words No gods left to care It flickers in my eyes Small holes in all covering veil Frozen thoughts drawn together Like moths to a flame I can turn and turn But I will never reach anything again Just emptiness
