Shroud of Despondency
Album • 2015
At the edge of the world They will still suffocate All those who breathe Even those who could not mate At the heights of frozen desolation Their fires will burn them They will still die Even those who heard no lies It's too thick There are too many The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life The precious, the beautiful, the sacred, the kind The cowering and those with cunning or strength of mind They are all alike In the shelters underneath The will still slowly starve All those who cared Even those who were prepared At the sites where chaos ensued And the places where peace conquered They will still die Even those closest to the sky It's too thick There are too many The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life The atmosphere has no choice but to choke out the life Not only can you see the sickness with closed eyes You can hear the emotional famish in their tones of voice Without asking to be let on The grinding anxiety in the essence of civilized choice is palpable So fucking obvious I want more I want this My claim upon evolution is the hope that one day we will all be swept away We will all be swept away No need for necessity or apathy No need for sympathy or instinct No choice but to breathe in the plague Only urgency and will We will all be swept away

We will all be swept away

Look away Long time coming Stay hidden and remain Under and away Beneath the grounds of betrayal Waiting to rush the sky with temptation and attack it With my will to grow and spread my seed To loom over deceit and trample its needs With beautiful trees Look towards revenge against man Look towards the stillness of the forest Look towards disdainful scenery Look towards defeat Look away The distance draws near Collapsing, leaving only the hidden Torn apart by hopelessness By the inevitable and by the carelessness In my many steps towards oblivion So I realize that one day I will be torn apart by the wind

Fought for it A moment in time defined by peace Raped for it, bled for it, lied for it too Heard of wars Heard rumors of wars and we were not alarmed Sacrificed freedom, confidence in lieu The end came We had all but died so it went unnoticed We had already embraced what we once only knew Survival long proven our sinew Barbarity reigns from underneath Captivity long the acting mechanism upon the unconscious A reaction amongst reactions, This burying of the desire to dream The first breath, the final gasp It existed so it exists To what end? Supremacy The creature's need to worship Is the beastly desire to sacrifice And the beast's desire to sacrifice Is the need to punish himself Certain animals attack themselves One animal believes Certain combinations manifest anxiety Others manifest belief To what end? Supremacy Loved for it A moment in time defined by war Prepared for it, prayed for it, lived for it too Knew others loved Knew others loved and we were not alarmed Learned to plan for what would ensue Eventual The collision of forces in pursuit of one aim One idol, one image, one meal, or one dream Everything just as it seems Barbarity reigns from underneath Captivity long the acting mechanism upon the unconscious A reaction amongst reactions, This burying of the desire to dream The first breath, the final gasp It existed so it exists To what end? Supremacy The creature's need to worship Is the beastly desire to sacrifice And the beast's desire to sacrifice Is the need to punish himself Certain animals attack themselves One animal believes Certain combinations manifest anxiety Others manifest belief To what end? Supremacy

Now loneliness is everlasting Now its manifestations have complete control Now frustration defines the future And sometimes frustrations manifest as violent acts When did the impulse come to be? This instinct towards urgent fatality Self defeating, species erasing Acceptance of complacent slave destiny Over-breed! Because while technology serves vain and base desires Ultimately proposed saviors put out useful fires Created by the enemies they claim to attack Now there is no time to turn back The forest or the trees, it doesn't matter what one sees The flesh or the spirit, hardly matters if you are near it Desolation creates dreams, frantic beautiful necessity Doesn't matter if you see those dreams snuffed out by reality Become nightmares Become the dark Become the light of the world Then the flames from its' spark There is nothing to lose

"Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; So are the children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate"(Psalm 127) Stay down, stay quiet I am the hunter of human prey My quiver is full of arrows that create slaves Stay down, spread wide My arrow wants inside You've tempted me with your body Now you must have my child And from this horrible act you've committed against me Comes an endless parade of dead eyed babies They too will one day learn that I am king You've put these thoughts in my head And I'm only doing what my King said I've narrowed the world and preplanned your suffering Stay down, stay quiet I am the hunter of human prey My quiver is full of arrows that create slaves Stay down, spread wide My arrow wants inside You've tempted me with your body Now you must have my child And from this horrible act you've committed against me Comes an endless parade of dead eyed babies In the name of God! Rejoice, rejoice Sterility is still a choice Rejoice, rejoice Castration Rejoice, rejoice Sterility is still a choice Rejoice, rejoice Castration These people are why I've emptied my quiver You will not speak to me at any gate I am your enemy and you are rape Rejoice, rejoice Castration.

Put out the fires of old with the shit that soaked up all our water It was too late long before the last pure drop An yet we continue to celebrate the last pure drop Make martyrs of the flesh in the name of slop Sacrifice consciousness for tribe mentality While allowing our tribes to die on their knees Die on your knees Power can exist as delusional strength It demarks the difference between master and slave Beyond necessity the world at arm’s length Would never create a need for a master race But in that world might would be right Might is right And still we continue to misappropriate our attack Carve peace time statues that crumble after they crack Can't admit of that which occurs out of sight Brought to our knees so it's easy for the powerful to fight And they fight! Power can exist as delusional strength Just tell the slave that it's wrong to be a slave Keep his hopes up with promises of new ideals He'll attack himself and suppress what he feels Under the banner of that which is right Silent might is right Those stronger will always take what they need Not governed by necessity or even petty greed Governed by force The force of nature The source of pride The course starts repeating With instinct denied Until a new instinct evolves The force of nature The source of time What awakes from the slumber Is a more violent pride Until a new instinct evolves We've been blessed with the modern instinct of trembling Been told it's a blessing but I know it's a curse We've been blessed with the modern instinct of trembling Been told it's a blessing but I know it's a curse I'll never get to see it evolved and called survival Upon the slit throats of both flesh and god idols Right now I am governed by necessity These words are now.
