Crowned In Corpses
Atoms fused in sequence An alchemy wielded To tear out the stars from the sky In winters past we would dance beneath them Welcomed to the movement of seasons The assurance of each thing Having its place But now ash does not melt on the tongue: A slow smothering - a shroud for the dead, Sculpting out angels to mark where they fell Burnt clothes tinseled on A smoldering corpse Loose strands of hair Tangled around Charred bone (But for a second we turned night into day) And as the light fades away We know we have killed god And in our image, unmade We know we won’t be saved Nothing remains to reclaim We set fire to heaven And shut our eyes Malice unrestrained Falling up the escalatory chain From broken arrow To blistering in the fallout Sins consecrated at the Throne of consequence - Our decisions have caught up to us A fatal dose of hubris A knowledge forbidden Oh kiss of death: smother the earth Collect our breath in shock and awe Nightmares committed as legacy Agonal breaths - hope extinguished We don’t mourn for anyone or anything We’d rather die than leave the world behind us Martyrs in the glory of violence Lay us to waste in this mass grave memory Seared in like the shadows in our wake Oh kiss of death: Man is vanquished We chose to end it all (But for a second we turned night into day) And as the light fades away We know we have killed god And in our image, unmade We know we won’t be saved Oh kiss of death: Man is vanquished

We weren't ready - Pull down on the blindfold to see what's behind these eyes Dreams or nightmares or old refelctions burned in Memories whashed out, faint and fading fast Losing touch with distant frames or reference Peering inward: Time has cast shadows on us That block the sun from seeping through We are alone while the seconds sing And the days drop dead by our feet We are alone in the silent screams Of our decaying mortal shells Twist the knife We are wasting away in stagnant wait Wishing for the wind to carry us home We die alone No planes beyond this There's no salvation in this temporal void Just noise among the static Subjected to an epoch of no one else We rot in stasis We are wasting away in stagnant wait Wishing for the wind to carry us home Passively resigned in the passing of time Our selves forsaken - we die alone Pulling down on the blindfold And seeing nothing left: Complete nothingness We are alone - twist the knife Stabbed in and ticking slow We are alone - twist the knife Life dripping deep below Perpetually loitering The new rots on top of the old Our selves forsaken We die alone The new rots on top of the old Our selves forsaken We die all alone Last breath Twist the knife

Self-loathing god Unyielding sin Wither into nothingness Glide into the voices An antidote to existence Pretending to be alive Dead but not at rest Shovel the dirt on your eyes All essence withers away Years in rot and unmoving Dead but not at rest Unseen it crawled into your veins And snuffed out your embers Since its breath touched yours You taste nothing else Since your eyes met You see nothing It eats you from the inside out Your soul decays Your lights darkened Your self dissolving now Self-loathing god Unyielding sin Wither into nothingness Glide into the voices Kneel before the shadows Float beyond all reason Dead but not at rest Your depleted flesh stitched together From the only scraps You could bear to scavenge for them You were never complete Never worthy to feel affection Until you came to know this name Immovably oppressive As it shall be spoken In place of yours forever Since your eyes met You see nothing It eats you from the inside out Your soul decays Your lights darkened Your self dissolving now Glide into the voices An antidote to existence Pretending to be alive Dead but not at rest Shovel the dirt on your eyes All essence withers away Years in rot and unmoving Dead but not at rest Seasons encase you in rot Soil defiled and dissolved Abandoned to dirt and decay Wither into nothingness

I have trudged through harsher hells Bore their burns Stared my demons in the face Echoing desperate pleas for death Immortal, if forever ill Exiled from the abyss I have held a torment close to my heart Alive no matter the suffering Unwavering in the shadow's bite This pain will claim no dominion Condemned to writhe in deathless agony Cursed to be whole in this brokenness I have trudged through harsher hells Bore their burns Stared my demons in the face Have stitched my wounds With hairs pulled from scalps Cut from battles hard fought and won Exiled from the abyss Tear into the darkness tooth and nail I am taking control Storm deep and breach below the light I am taking control No weapon will cut me down Kick open the gates of perdition Seek out the beasts that taunt me Rip my name from their mouths Banished to quiet decay no weapon will cut me down I tear into the darkness tooth and nail Unwavering in the shadow's coldest bite From twitching severed heads I tear their crowns Placing them on my own I usurp the demons' throne

Shivering skin And goosebumps Ripped out from the Night's empty songs Begging now Breath spirals from Dead lips stitched shut Though words still linger As dust on the tongue Give in to everything You once feared true Nothing means Less than you Horrible hunger Of the cold new day Aura of the yawning void Grasping for echoes Though none reflect back Lost in it all and no frame of self There in the Quiet reform I found the l Synapses rerouted, Signal transmission, Reconnect the pieces, Assembling myself again From fragments, by memory Despite that which No longer remains Only in the vast Silence of death Did I taste My first breath

Spill the blood Of your enemies Draw it drop by drop Forming floods Peace was never an option Or a spark in the heart Rubble and bloat and Misery sowed in tow Nothing left standing Your gift to the world Burn it down Crush all who oppose you Make them cower before The might wielded In your hands If in their eyes You find no worship Then make them quiver In the specter Of your weapons No earth shall the Meek inherit When glints of their cries Deflect from your blade Victory through murder This is your directive: Slay your way to silence Raw power weeps from The gaping wounds of The dead piled In your trace Death and decay Leech out what little Light remains in this World left shattered Cities of graves laid before you And those whose misfortune Curse them still to live Beg at your boots Mercy revoked as you Unsheathe your sword And call yourself king Crowned in corpse and torment Destruction reigns Crowned in corpse and torment

Drag your crosses beyond the crest of Your shadow Drive your nails in beyond flesh and Bone In each breath you are commanded to Gaze upon yourself And see the animal which stirs your Motion. Innocent? In the truth of knowing What horrid Ripples will echo out from your touch? To know the violence you print across The world - was sentience for nothing? (fire at will) Erasing the annals of existence Innocence is dead and covered in spit Hope blinded bound and dragged Taking lives with unblinking resolve Drag your crosses beyond the crest of Your shadow Drive your nails in beyond flesh and Bone In each breath you are commanded to Gaze upon The footprints you've left in your Wake: (a broken street wears pieces of itself like freckles on mangled skin) Corpses stitched into shreds Of the fabric of fate Constellations snuffed out Like they never burned So callously You've carved darkness Into the bleeding sky In you no feeling beats While a thousand hearts cease Ruin is your legacy Writhe in the coldest hollow as it Burns the divine from your lungs Evil is self-awareness Irrepressed with a will to arms

Bodies clawed into the resin Synaptic vines stitched Through the brain Possession immutable Dependency overtakes with Blade held to the throat Flesh dissolving into The electric pulse Eyes burned open Bound as witness Doom scroll diodes Passive control Information unrelenting Omnipresent We see all things We awoke one day To find the earth Imprisoned in Intangible chains Our surrender screamed In the circuitry Dismal domain of Data gluttony Bleed bits of binary To feed the machine In servitude to The silicon regime We were the harvest And we let this consume us Our souls tossed into the Hungry mouth of the grid Deconstructed And buried in a frame of graves We write over the past Tune out the sky's light Parsing consciousness for spoil Obiesantly latticing our flesh Into the indifference of the network Our surrender screamed In the circuitry Dismal domain of Data gluttony Bleed bits of binary To feed the machine In servitude to the Silicon regime We were the harvest And we let this consume us Our souls tossed into the Hungry mouth of the grid Deconstructed And buried in a frame of Graves Relinquish humanness Dopamine suicide Relinquish all feeling Light hemorrhaging From minds anesthetized We've lost the language To separate our selves From the apparatus Inexorably Hollow nodes of existence Modulated beyond agency Distant kings pulling Puppet strings Free will Held hostage beyond reach Nerves interlacing With the solder Amalgam of man And machine Programmed to kneel To unhear the primal Voices within Neutralized as the Sun burns out And the thirst Sets in Begging to Find a living Piece of Ourselves In the void
