Darker, Still

As we drown in ash
A Forked tongue
Drips malice harnesses ashes
Charred screams of your masters ring proud
Through pain the definition of passing
A graceful death disavowed
A new age is built on the bones of what never was
Spit venom of the mother unleash hell of the father
Once tide now deprived. A compass in the abyss, from what made all of this will come to pass in time
Loyal to justice not peace
Despite your vitriolic purity
I will leave this behind
Stake your claim in this Dead Sea, worship the vast expanse of all that you see
A first breath is all that is needed to needed to breathe
I blaspheme and rightly know where this has led, and where it shall cease to go
A hateful heart with a righteous soul, forcing my hand, clawing up from the depths below
I blaspheme and rightly know, engulfed by light with each last nerve singed whole
A forked tongue
Spits malice harnesses ashes
Atoll for what could have been
Savor their sickness drowned by your sins
Screaming in horror of what could have been
All flesh is worthy until it is not
A sorry excuse, A victim recused for a sickness you've come to exploit
May you be engulfed by this weakness profound, cursed by the lives you've destroyed
I have left this behind safely you'll find peace in the warmth of others
You trust in those you love whose thoughts are not in our own blood
A single moment of peace amongst crippling anxiety
Skin prison domain, cold black salvation, compliance now fucking reigns
You've survived enough
Solely loyal to an everlasting pain that brings strength
All flesh is worthy, until it is not
You've survived enough
The fire will keep you warm until it burns you alive
I blaspheme, and rightly know, where this has led, and where it shall cease to go.

A Bitter Path
05:29

With pride cast the sharpest stone
Nothing I can do to lessen the blow
I now know what it knows
Rip this misery from the light as I stare it dead in the eyes
Feel the fear you deserve to feel
Gnashing my teeth in joyous pain
I now know what It knows
A threat to my peace is an offering
Dare to forget the loss of who I used to be
Gnashing my teeth in joyous pain
A sun never risen will never set
In waves that refuse to break
When the light finally leaves this world
We all will know our place
You will know your fucking place
Dredge up the guilt once crippling now sets me free
I know what I'm capable of, do you
Bloodletting this blanket of gray a blanket of lead seasonal decay distorting what is now left
The trees cease to bloom desperate to maintain
A pathetic tourist in my own world
On a bitter path I remain
My anger has eclipsed
Devoid of joy, nor pain
Cast into a barren world
On a bitter path I remain
You will know your fucking place
My anger has eclipsed
Devoid of joy nor pain
Cast into a barren world
On a bitter path I remain.

Everyday we stray further from a god who lost his way. In contempt we sing his name
Minor, frail, a bastard out of key
The deafening drone of despair drowning, I dull my heart unto their pain
To heal one must bleed
Abandoned hopes trampled under feet
Now spit in the face of those who once believed
Now frail, unclean shattered obsolete hearts beat extinct
Sever from the unconscious
Surrender
At the toll of absurdity Do unto others
Dance
Dwell
DieI'm Horrified by my selfishness I've complied
Do you believe in fiction
Or do you believe in this
Horrified by my selfishness
Dragged into the bright sky
Subtleties coming apart at the seams
Piercing tears back into the eyes
The only thrill left to die
Horrified
A weeping wound, ripping at the roots of your rapture
A weeping wound, Serve no gods, humor no masters
Flowers of rust blooming with hate
No other choice but to let absence carry me away
Slowly we seethe, watching these blurred line bleed
Slowly we seethe, Screaming these songs we should not sing
Slowly we seethe, the pain is forgotten we feel the memory, dissociation
last gasps from burning lungs
A saviors last words, on the tip of my tongue
Bite down to spite my lust
Only to taste the blood
Slowly we seethe

Thin the herd
Symphonies choking on eulogies
Hell bent
Desperately I've been searching for a reason to feed the hope that fails, the lies ring most true
In your defiance death laughs at his harvest
I dream of a grave, just deep enough to fill my days
Not the same, the god we pray
That beautiful dream drowning in dread
Filled to the brim with emptiness.
The sun has set
The door has closed
The myth of relief
It all ends so slowly
Nothing worth saving
Illuminate profound pathways of pain
Pessimistic gratification
Holding that so tightly, that faith which is most frail (Go with god)
Apathy induced agony, shallow drowning day to day (Go with god)
Thin the herd
Symphonies choking on eulogies
Hell bent
Desperately I've been searching, for a reason to feed the hope that fails, the lies ring most true
Your precious thoughts betray us all
May your death bring us peace
As innocent as Iron graves
Spite an ounce of faith for a pound of flesh
This sober violence we all adore
Your sombre comfort cut too fucking close
A plague with purpose
Cancer altruistic
Sweet merciful terror now dulls my senses
Embrace the weight of my conscious I feel the guilt as it shapes me
A messiah by no other name, hell bent glory bound, a savior of self loathing
Thin the herd
Symphonies choking on eulogies
Hell bent
Desperately I've been searching, for a reason to feed the hope that fails, the lies ring most true
In your defiance, death laughs at his harvest.
