Vanishing Spires
O beast, born of swine Deceased by design Stillborn from shrapnel’s tears Once starved, now unleashed No silence, no peace Lost savants of misery and fear We yearn to extinguish Or we yearn to be extinguished Yearn to extinguish Or we yearn to be extinguished Yearn to extinguish Or we yearn to be extinguished Yearn to extinguish Or we yearn to be extinguished

And so we gather round For a pointless requiem Flowers mark dreams obscured In confused apathy Entranced by concrete lathe We claim our price Our writhing husks enthroned Worms amongst mice Entranced by concrete lathe We claim our price Our writhing husks enthroned Worms amongst mice Bones grind amidst gears As flesh merges with machine Converged into human mosaic Fragmented and obscene Entranced by concrete lathe Immune to pain Our blood spills on clear paths We feel the same Entranced by concrete lathe (is there a point of life) Immune to pain (when it does not exist) Our blood spills on clear paths (gaunt shells of carrion) We feel the same (wrung out to die) Thus rests our void memorial Pawns mourning that which never lived

Arise in dolorous wrath Echo through vacant paths Our winds Care not Cursed to watch mock indigence Malignant aural plagues to entice the sword Our winds Care not Shadows rise in shards As masochists descend Each bleats in haze Exhumed in role As larvae amongst snakes Each bleats - aimless, endless Aimless, endless Aimless, endless Aimless, endless Aimless, endless Black tempests of promise Obscure luxe pantheons With scents of tar Aimless, endless blight Scar these fissured tongues Let them mull in blazed sand; Crystalline embers To sate new demand Denied from service Devoid of servants; Void incarnation In burial’s thrall Behold the charity of gleaming ash

Grief swarms in full hue Through anguished, caustic eyes Born through abscessive disdain Let there be no more pain Remove restraint Transfer to saints Joyous figments surmise Wrought advancement belies Disavow your own pride Freedom, be our true guide Remove restraint Transfer to saints Our blasphemous movements Shall abseil through gods White maws of iniquity Relinquished with bile Remove restraint Transfer to saints Life nullified Torment denied Remove restraint Who shall deny (remove restraint) The lure of heaven’s gates (transfer to saints) Communed through rope (life nullified) Toward new altered states (torment denied)

Born cold and still Wrapped in futile blankets All hope cut to shreds As my husk hangs bare Aspiring to become One with the earth Thankless nutrients In wait to be absorbed Soon I will Make myself plain and clear No doubt in your mind Of my intent as we exit this world Vicious lies Handed down Tricked me into life Trapped in a Drawn out race As time crawls in despair Embrace… Death, the outstretched hand Death, the true alternative The first real breath you’ll take Death, the guardian of solace Death, the waxed tranquility The first real breath you’ll take ..and so you’ll take Descend to gleam As twilight's corruption fades Utopia apparent Inertia incarnate Plagues of character remain Renewed through twisted glass Offal extruded for vultures In death I’m free at last

Confined to brightness No absolution A covert embrace True emancipation Pining for numbness Or dissolution You descend to bear True emancipation Rise beyond a world maligned In vain triumph, we unbind Ascend to vanish Rise beyond a world maligned In vain triumph, we unbind Ascend to vanishing spires
