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.

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.
