With Winter Comes Despair
Once upon a midnight clearing, upon an open grave Dimensions indescribable, callings from the dead Four by seven, six deep, though nothing as it appears Desire to feed the afterlife, it draws the living near Ensnared, rooted deep Unimagined, secrets keep Calling the ones of skin, drawing from unknown Gravitational pull, shedding of flesh and soul Entwined in the roots, becoming one with earth Easy part is death, infinity becoming one Witness to everlasting dark, attuned to solitude of soul Written on every destiny, to writhe and lay below Brethren of centuries collide, attained escape from ice cold hell Stepping in no turning back, once filled empty still Entrapped, rooted deep Machinations, lay sleep With the promise of an after life, draws the curious nigh Obtaining knowledge of a broken life, defleshed as they die Never stated a glorious world, entombed within the earth Final resting the only thrill, time to approach open grave

Awaken to a new day, with visions of the ages Humble yet transparent, to the superpower mankind Awaken to a new life, power is all your own Constant gentle aging, the seeds of time are sown Where no one feels the pain Hurtled toward doom, exasperate indifference Rotten ancient tomb, knowledge an empty void Wait until the end, what said comes true Deaf ears hear not, rescue humanity Forgotten paradise Living behind a mirror, changing yet nothing clearer Future generations, benefit not your gains Ending evolved your fate, cycle repeats forever Maybe lessons are learned, before it's all too late

In winter's cold embrace, time frozen cracked ice chimes Shadows lie in wait, vengeance for all humanity Despair is on its way, claiming souls root in the earth Embed deep within, make whole something new Salvage from winters pass, to come again once more From human souls it takes, vast foresting made In human form it makes, writhing witchery Ancient wraith breeds fear, punishment is just Balancing the scales, or worse Conjuring protection, despair heeds the call Wielding long dead magics, primal forces sway Strips of flesh, take root in the earth No more breath, becoming unified Sins repaid with death, humanity takes its toll Taking something back, pride Screams of pain, victims shattered soul Winters grip, yearly ritual Embed in snow, regrowth eventual Slain for need, gain Another season has past, ice melts once more Ancient shamans curse, vengeance being flesh Earth made anew, souls of those who knew Embed deep within, make whole something new Salvage winters pass, to come again once more

Selfish greed, opening the box Calling the ones, bringers of fear Desire that burned had turned, into lust Seeing only lies, external torture cursed by them Pleasure is what you sought, to them it's all the same Pain is all the brought, blasphemies of the flesh Unrelenting pain, experiments of desire Four less one appear, an impending doom Once they start, senses become acute Blindly mad, devices ancient ways Ripping life, drained of all your thoughts Insanity reigns as they tear your soul apart Rot in hell, sights they have to show Jesus wept, the pleasure is your pain Explorers from the furthest reaches of the universe Demons to some, angels to others

Purified existence, God-like tendencies, surrounded by a lie Deciding wrong or right, absolved of sins, as time goes by... Damnation plays its part, stakes continue higher Beg for no mercy, from upward authority Continuance considered progress, destroy all opposition King of imposed worlds, above all your laws! Life of fantasy, make your own rules Life of fantasy, lifestyle you choose... Life! Hanging by the balance, thread wears thin, disgusting decree Payoff to survive, ten to life surfaces, pressed to obscure Damnation plays its harp, anonymous respect Made to play the part, mimic your own ways Continuance considered progress, fulfill untold dreams Pockets lined with thousands, deeds payed in blood... Life of fantasy, choices made in youth Life of fantasy, prison or death subdued... Death! Locked behind bars, sentence seems harsh, throw away the key Brutal justice served, society benign, blind eyes turned down Suffer from malice, no way inside Pittinance discussed, immobilized Dreams extinguished, indecent deeds Pitiful existence, snuffed!

Through powers unleashed in the mind, brings visions of future and past Predictions of these events, never to doubt the sight Set forth the power of travel, in his mind the key astral Inhabitance, through sights and dreams Questions and misconcepts, arise in the mind Oracle to all answers, after life to lies. Intervening thoughts from which to discover Mortal or immortal, the path is so clear Fear of the future is destined to arise Predictions, inflictions, lead to the demise Plunging in the spirit world, clutching centuries Paths of destruction, enter through vision Deeper in the soul, sporadic power Through humanity it shall devour Always knowing right from the start, destruction's path, lives now blurred Visions of death, lives do cry, through the sight, aura dies All hope is gone, through sight beyond

Falling from innocent skies, reigning from the clouds Leaving a trail of smoke, covering death;s mark Leading on for eons, awake for eternity Plaguing life with vengeance, placid blood streams red Hollow inside me, hollow decides me At war with the world, I'm hollow inside I do not feel, I cannot love Tragedy for lost life, humanity's strain Needing life to live, eternal awakening Burning hunger drives, hidden away inside I do not feel, why can't I love? Cold and dead inside, humanity's disdain Flesh only a shell, blood's invaluable curse Vitality grown strong, feed upon your corpse Society's view is laced, leaning towards insane They know but a part, my history of death Hunt for what I need, innocent all but spared Never taking too much life, equaling my share Hollow inside me, hollow it guides me War with the world, hollow!
