A year? Step by weary step I'm dragged Into the keep I pass the pillars of our deceased Cadavers strewn of the strong and wise Their bodies transformed Their carbon forms turned to quartz Unnatural physics fuels horror Trepidation fuels fight or flight But these chains that bind Drag me through this perverse tour Of our extinction I witness the fall of mankind To be drained of our life force To be drained of our life force So where will my demise take me this time? Will my soul carry on? Take flight? Or join the realm of misery No, I will not die on my knees I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes And in a cold stare I stand as a testament to all mankind I will defy you until the life vacates my eyes And in a cold stare I stand as a testament to all mankind Or so I thought There'll be no happy ending this time I'm shown my place My existence, its purpose to feed this damned depriver The galaxies souls Till it swallows their suns So who am I to defy The natural order Of the universe Heat death Will conquer all And in the darkness These beings will rise Who am I to defy The natural order Of the universe Feasting on sentient life Feeds their magic Quantum fluctuation

Freedom once again evades me Another failed attempt by a coward's morality Who are they to say? It's my choice If I live or die It's my life, all I've ever wanted to do is live it But I wanna live it too You speak your mind as if you are forgiven You are nothing, but a fucking parasite You've brought damnation Forlorn, terror, existence is God's error So I decide to return the gift of your life Hear your words never again Never again? Never again! Dеath by water you condemn me to? Why you fool, I'll fucking drown you too Do not say I didn't warn you Your words arеn't welcome here Do not say I didn't warn you Your sounds they will dissipate as you drown Breath by breath the parasite chugs water into my lungs Breath by breath the parasite dooms my salvation Doctors search for a way to save me Doesn't exist, doesn't exist, doesn't exist Prayers have failed and the priests still fight, but I do not believe you Why is it you still resist? Yield unto me, yield unto me You do strive to deprive my sanity, with this rope I amend this immanity In the loneliness of the night, I hear Hell whisper to me Speaking of torture to be found, and the Devil I guess I'll see you soon There's no hope God damn this monster that defies me A peaceful life, I beg serenity God damn, the whisperer defiles me Silence, I plead for my sanity Fuck you to the doctors that denied me Respite from the torture that consumes me God damn, you're right, I fucking hate you Kick the chair, rather rot in Hell than let you live And in my last breath, I hear it mock me

Let the bridges burn Erasing memories that have shackled ascension Tried to take my life but it was a fucking bad phase Hindsight became clear once I'd wiped the shit from my face Subjugate to the matriarch Bow down to the crown If I knew what I knew now My Gods would tremble before me They'd stare with tears in their eyes As I turn my back and march onto home I set my bridges ablaze The path I walk now shines brighter Lеft my daemons there in thе ash March anew The will, the will of pariahs Your name, bad taste in my mouth So I spit you out! Escape the matriarch The Queen, the Queen of Sorrow Escape the matriarch The Queen, the Queen of Sorrow Cold lies, spewed from a serpents tongue Conceal manipulation Cold lies, spewed from a serpents tongue Ensures the subjugation I set my bridges ablaze The path I walk now shines brighter Left my daemons there in the ash March anew The will, the will of pariahs I am stronger all on my own Where my feet tread will always be home Never subjugated cause I fled your terror the first night The people left behind will be the victims of suicide, promise

Gripped with consternation Cold steel is my grave I traverse constellations. Fearful thoughts run through my head,Do I lie upon my death bed? Tell me, will this moment be the end of me? Movements bedim my cage Shadows enter from the side of my gaze Movements bedim my cage Shadows enter, approach my grave Obsidian eyes Stare straight into mine Empty - Empathy No air in these lungs to scream, I’ve clenched up, it’s now impossible to breathe Instincts to survive, though I wish I could just die, it’s a curse now, the burden of life Turn me off, let me die, bring me suicide. End this; the burden of life. Movements bedim my cage Shadows enter, experiments engaged Implementing laser beams to ensure the incisions‘ clean Never was sedated, even my limbs were amputated, a worm under the scope of despicable beings I no longer feel gravity embrace me There’s no solace for me I arch my spine But paralysis denies Fuelling the psychotic mind A stasis state Days roll by sawn and sewn Purgatory; Punishment is Atonement, It’s Mandatory, To Expiate, temporal punishment for sin This worlds so cold; There’s no; Mercy for me Sentient beings that do not show any traits of cognitive empathy Mercy I plead Sentient beings that do not show any traits of cognitive empathy Cut to me screaming in my bed. Torturous scene happened in my head? This place feels like home but there’s something wrong, I watch the shadows creep around me. The shadows; approach me.

White sand and lilac snow Insults my eyes, I miss the meadows I fear my beautiful dreams For they take me back to when my spirit was free These memories, they rip away at me I fear my beautiful dreams They take me back, gift me my memories I fear my beautiful dreams They take me back, but I'd rather forget Head trauma, amnesia I bite on the heels of my captor If only for a second he would lose his cool and break He'd cave my head in true, save me from the torture that's due If I didn't die, god forbid I would survive Then the brainless husk would inevitably take my place You take it for granted The will to survive You take it for granted Till you're yearning to die Cold hearts don't thaw I'm lonely forever In this world of pain Your emotions will drag you down Makes it harder to disassociate Ambitious, seditious, so venomous and vicious The word is the law but the word is fictitious In sorrow they weep, stirred from slumber so deep The sin and the saint so suspicious Days turned to weeks I'm confined in this torturous place Bound to life, they won't let me die Till I've been replaced You take it for granted Each breath you take You take it for granted Till you're yearning to die Ambitious, seditious, so venomous and vicious The word is the law but the word is fictitious In sorrow they weep, stirred from slumber so deep The sin and the saint so suspicious Beyond the grave We are enslaved The sin and the saint so suspicious We are enslaved Beyond the grave Enslaved

Let me start this shit with a little warning, I'm now going to speak my mind Within this peaceful shell, lies fury at mankind I am scum too, but I have conceded You too must surrender your self esteem to the reality of your existence Your life suffers by your hand, we've taken this life for granted Why the fuck would I create a child, to suffer this shit hole you call home To watch a beautiful mind, slowly decay through stress Watch their dreams Be crushed by the weight of the world Fear not, unborn child I won't condemn you I'll wait, for a world where we are not broken Where our eyes no longer gaze at the dirt, but the stars I fear I will wait too long Let my legacy continue with song I just feel like life is not valued The rarest gift, we're the only living planet And we are killing it, each other All heed the power of Fuck this life I say We're better dead anyway Let life try again The world's fucked anyway We walk, single file through the anthropocene Take all living beings with us Inherit this world Never again Bear the scars Never again Cut the cord The great legacy, left by the anthropecene Will be a layer of polyethylene Bear the scars Never again Cut the cord

The Eye of the Swarm They were born in a cesspit of a world Until they embraced the wyrm gods, To be born anew, servants of darkness To live and die by the logic of the sword Their tribute to the dark, eradication of the weak Only the strong shall survive And the strongest of the swarm shall rule, Those who worship the light will ultimately end up proven as fools Travel the stars To Proliferate; the shadow Travel the stars Propagators of sorrow [Guest: Ben Duerr] Consuming the carrion of offspring, for there is eternal life within the larvae From their bodies they extract all weakness holding function over fragile flesh Crawling deep within a host, the ability to recreate as they see fit For where there's imperfection or injustice, they will succumb to the hive mind Within their hosts, an undefeatable mass Within their hosts, the darkness shall outlast all Never again shall the enemies of darkness seek to emerge against the unfathomable dominance of pure perfection A system enduring. The Eye of the Swarm. There lies a curse; In this empowering larvae They’re consumed within, If it’s host disobeys their purpose Travel the stars They’re bound to obey their nature Travel the stars They’re bound by conjecture Existence is the struggle to exist Terror falls on the lambs to the slaughter Only the species of war shall survive against; These crusaders of Death War cry across the stars They watch the Suns, flicker in fear. Darkness, to swallow all light, Remove the parasite (weak) The ones who feast but have no right, Darkness has come to swallow all.

Chaos ensues amongst the chapel They're not amused by those pitiful beings The word on their lips was subterfuge This was considered as rude They fell for the lies of the Judas Goat He'd lead the cattle to the slaughterhouse Brave men who'd bite the hand that feeds They fell for the lies of the Judas Goat They knew they'd the numbers to succeed The day was won if not for the power of greed Who can you trust, when you can't trust yourselves They'd decided to live their life Conquer the darkness, bathe in light End the rule of their tyranny For their rights they will fight Their fates were sealed, to be Slain one by one, there's rats in these walls Slain one by one, there's rats in these walls (greed) Slain one by one till the daybreak shows the bloodsoaked gallows Winding the tunnels of the labyrinth This place could well be their tomb But the Judas Goat waits for his time The spirit of the people to consume He leads them on, the lies of a coward Taken as truth, for he was one of their own His palm was paved with gold (transaction pending) For the spirit of his people was to be sold They'd decided to live their life Conquer the darkness, bathe in light End the rule of their tyranny For their rights they will fight To the grave A voice in the darkness Behead the traitors Peel their flesh, then decapitate survivors Show them that resistance will be ineffective Traitors, send their flesh to the families who mourn them Show them that resistance will be ineffective Behead them all Bar those, who bend the knee They will return to devastate humanity Kneel before she And arise a Judas Goat

Alone, I wander this world Obscured in shadow I drag my feet across the sand Carved a valley of sorrow In terror I cry Beheld; the end of my life. Blind is the mind that denies our hands We’re the champions of these sands You’re the victim You’ve lost so give up the fight L'appel du Vide Blind is the mind that denies our hands We’re the champions of these sands You’re the victim You’ve lost so give up the fight L'appel du Vide So I let my demons out, to conquer this ferocious land But, I was conquered by them In these sands I now dwell, until this place was all I knew Fire of a dying sun bears upon me Now death has come, screaming my name The lure of the oasis, it beckons me So I stand upon the mounds to search for any sign of life. Glimpse, of green. (I was) Lead by the hand, (I was) Lead through the Ocean of Sand Through the eyes of the dying Through eyes stained with crying I see a dead world, I know my bones will be lost, forgotten in the sands Blind is the mind that denies our hands We’re the champions of these sands You’re the victim You’ve lost so give up the fight L'appel du Vide. Oasis waters I now dwell my daemons saved me from my Hell And; now I rot. A safe space I now dwell, until this place was all I knew Fire of a dying sun bears upon me Now death has come, screaming my name. The lure of the oasis; enslaved me, I nearly drowned, in that Ocean of Sand The tides of death pulled me down I held out my hand, but nobody came. And so I rot, and so I rot.

For our brother: There's a place in our hearts Where you reside with honour You lived as you died a fighter Never taking for granted your sacrifice Bearing the burden of martyrs Dor-neem A soldier with no purpose Hands of war push but will deny Respite in the peaceful times Create and then they deny any hope of a normal life Because some of us Need a purpose to fight for Otherwise we fight with oursеlves Maybe it's just human nature To claw until thе grave Until the grave Let his honour be etched in stone Forever on our lips, our minds, in our hearts So do not follow in the footsteps of heroes, seek what they sought Betrayed by his own skill He became a relic In the peaceful times When there were no more monsters to kill But one survived It set its treacherous claws in deep One more battle to be won Never forgive them His hunt begins anew His journey must be seen through His eyes roll to the back of his head In the darkness lies a daemon Dor-neem A soldier with no purpose Hands of war push but will deny Respite in the peaceful times Create and then they deny any hope of a normal life Until the grave Until the grave Never forgotten Farewell dear warrior Farewell So fare thee well brave warrior

I remember the day my hero died I watched as his hands obscured his face Hiding from me for he knew, his actions lead to disgrace So he never saw me go I left that kingdom Without looking back And I swear my life is better without you But what am I living for now? All I ever did was to make you proud But now I can't wait until you're in the fucking ground Even worms will feast on kings At the end of all things So when only words remain Over time the echoes will fade Into sweet silence A thousand suns would wither and die Before I found the words to describe The scum that you are So I'll save my time and implement the hush Upon my furious mind But there's a monster that controls me Created from memories of family As of late I've tried to conquer this I've been caged with him for far too long He knows every ounce of me For I created him to be me A front for a terrified beaten child Someone I could just be proud of For your memory holds power So to end your reign And to ensure you'll cease to remain I will forget your name I will forget your name So here I am, letting the echoes fade

As I recall these events From a place of clarity I've found a beast awaits in me An excuse to be set free Chains of our morality Binds the limbs of the beast But as my patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Lone, I beg to be For it is my remedy Alone, I beg to be For it brings me clarity The silence satiates me Brings sanity Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight, for this tortured mind To gnaw the wounds would thus release him But his blood burns his throat like a thousand suns Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight, for this tortured mind Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold I am one with the beast I fear its release And as the days go by The balance shifts My inner chi is unscathed But there's hell within me One day rage will rule The levee breaks You'll drown in sorrow And I will rest on the bodies of the dead I need you to know Even though I walk a path of virtue Some of you, I really want to hurt you For to know peace, you must know war It's a path you've never had to walk before To know peace, you must know war This world is weak, it's rotten to the core Lacerations on the wrists from the chains that bind No end in sight for this tortured mind Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Patience thins These old chains will break When my rage hits its threshold Please release me These words repeat for all eternity Please the monotony These days repeat for all eternity
