Wretched Eidolon,
Vestige of misery.
Balance, thumb on the scale.
Vermin, we are not the same.
Emulated restraint.
The beast is up on hind legs.
The orators
have given way
To pantomimes
In front of me.
In front of me.
They both ingest
Shattered teeth,
Glutton and gaunt.
Light and dark.
Rend and mar.
Weak hands
Let fall
The cage
That traps us all.
I refuse to be
Trampled beneath
The weight
Of
Cowardice.
Pull this weed out by its roots.

Scoria

Drained and splayed.
Drowned in haze.
Wrung into knots.
Survived by the snare
Around our feet.
Fires ablaze.
Nothing to give.
Look to the well.
Nothing left but the pail.
You son of a bitch.
Uncontent until
we're gtround into dust.
Brought us to heel,
to eat from the palm of your hand.
Shattered inside.
Begging for release.
Destined to shoulder the burden alone.
In all that I have seen,
This hammer continues to weigh.
Until my last breath has been taken,
This hammer continues to weigh.

Shifting winds
Down from the tower.
A seminal change,
Seeking to suffer.
One with the swarm,
A cell of disease.
Through cracks in the mirror,
Witness the fervor of beasts.
Inundate
In the blood of the recreant weak.
Shed the guise
of the soul, bare your gall.
Trapped in abyss.
Decaying light.
Misplaced your faith
In appeal.
Saving grace,
Blind with spite.
Beg for caste.
At the foot of the arch.
When the penance is paid,
you're marched to the beat of the fall,
Join the chorus, sail the pennon.
Hide your remorse.
Here you are,
At the end
Of the echoes.
For your service, left the deed
To a faraway mirage
of a palace on the sea,
Built atop the graves in which you filled.
Now you
will breathe
The rot
Deep into your lungs.
Order by force
Bound for the pike.

Unwavering ache, fated collapse.
Mouth of cinder, heart of tar.
Pierced through the lung,
by the sword from my sheath.
I Buried the broker between
Balance and blight.
Pull the flail
from the face
of allies and exiles alike.
A thurible haze
seeps from out
the cluster of skulls
in the hand of death.
Wearing the pressure,
armour of grief.
Lie in the crater,
Lie in wait.
Past the point
of return
Gave hold of the reins,
A husk of a man.
Box up the fragments
to bury inside.
Inured to the scars
Entombed in the aura of enmity.
Bring an end to this.
Bring an end to me.

The Better World

They've torn our muscle from the bone
And sewn our hands together.
This congregation, the abhorrent mob,
nurtures disease.
No semblance of life
Bled dry of heart.
Imitations of odious bile.
Give way to the age of disdain,
bathe in the blood of the frail.
No quarter, short order.
Placate the passel, slaughter the lamb.
Acquired the taste
of broth from the bone
of those who oppose.
Pay homage to malice.
Kneel at the altar,
Apostles of rot.

Rung Hollow
02:48
|

Due to be
Sentenced to death.
Stepping stones laid
atop our casket.
Bleed.
The waters are rising.
Lulled to sleep
on stale platitudes.
Spare me
Listless avowals.
Brand
The mark into the hands of the masses.
No one to save us.
Out on our own.
Dirt under their feet.
Shards of steel
severing
trachea,
Cannot breathe.
The weight of the chain
Pulling down.
Temperature fucking
fatal.
Arias of sorrow ring
with the fall of the axe.
Scraps to the wolves,
Bones to cut their teeth.
Enough of defending
The castles of men
Who've drawn the gate
Up from behind our back.

Blood Eagle

A somber dirge
hangs in the air.
The choir of angels
put to rest.
Faint pangs of anguish,
a sea of conceit.
Metastasized
and maligned.
At home in these
Occult circles.
Ritualistic
Oblation.
Pry open the cage,
Bereft of sound.
Made to suffer
as they have suffered.
Reborn
an idol of hatred,
Perched atop
the offering.
Cut through the vein, muscle, sinew.
Reveal the wing of sated malice.
Final expiation.
|

Weathered to relish the taste of iron,
To sing orisons of aimless sails.
Mistaking feathers from vultures overhead
As tidings from the gods.
I am chained to this vale,
by the link I can't sever.
Weep all virtue from me.
Blind will, blade in hand.
Flay the flesh. Form icons of throe.
Place the alms into the earth.
Bellow the ode, the last of it's ilk.
I'm disgraced in defeat,
I’ve come back on my shield.
Surrendered the keep,
without a concession.
Heed the etchings,
The ramblings of a fool
Who crawled into the arms of a fever
Searching for warmth.
|

Rejoice, pious protector.
The flock has been bred to covet the lash.
The fruits of your labour,
Cleansed in the river of bones.
Exhale and ascend.
Step over the body,
Shackle the mind.
Sum total,
Merciless void.
Sever the limb,
That which refuses to bend.
Undying ardor.
Muzzled and fettered
In the sullen morass.
Adulation
In the era of plague.
Spare me
The vile crusade
Into the burial chasm.
Found embrace
In the bowels of snakes.
Tighter and tighter, sinking.
Fade into the dark.
Fade into the dark.
These noxious scabs
Adorn your soul.
No sacrament will heal
Self-inflicted wounds.
At the start, you reveled in your bite,
Now you're drowning in the venom.
Praised the flame, stacked the tinder,
Lit the match.
Reduced to ash.
Arrogance reigns at the
End of the chain.
Reduced to ash.
Arrogance reigns at the end of the chain.
Arrogance reigns at the end of the chain.
