1.
Fear of losing full control, contorted with rage Deserted, dismayed Recognize false immunity Assert, dominate, over compensate Exposing true face, expending the flame Refusal to bow or serve your name, only in vain your reign stands supreme There's no relief in uncertainty Constant grief, bludgeoned by worry Trust seeps its way into putridity This is the frailty of humanity Fooled, skewed, refusal to heal This is the frailty of humanity Exploitation of bond, manipulation encoffined Blood wrung dry, bent inverted for praise Empathy never coalesced with your name So is it strength? Or is it stupidity? Acting of apathy With phantom reprieve, monumented and cracking stone returns to dust
2.
Climb the stairs, storm the gates Sacred to the point of satirical waste Dreaming of bliss, yearn for eternity Unknown the cost of an unrelenting greed Dragged through fire in succession Standing high through death obsession Will to suffer, will to bleed Immortal hands lend offering Priced, the pride of christ Revolted at the sight Behold the hideous rites of divine sacrifice Divine sacrifice (a gift or damnation?) Impaled by the palms, unveiled to the cross Unable to resist the desire Passage of eternal agony sought Victim to gilded rhetoric Attempting quench of thirst, stretched thin for holiness Writhe endless Seraphic punishment Writhe endless Seraphic punishment Like weaving leash through halos Led with begging gullets wide Realm of perversion shines, eternal
3.
Suicide, yet still alive Gasping for air Vilified by design Pleading for spare Futile life, a parasite Starved and drained Nulified, soul denied Now wander depraved Sustenance other than dust Puny leach leagues beneath ruts Lowest form of sentience, awaiting host oblivious To wreak misery into downward spiral Caustic disease, spewing bile Repulsive intruder Repulsive intruder fixation swirl into the night Swirl around in darkness Haphazard grinning freak Become with insatiable thirst Fiending, shriveled and bleak Bathe in excrement, swollen gluttony Shadows mask a disorienting slither Descent into dormancy, dormancy
4.
Casting judgment behind a canting throne Masking inherent actions, building tiers of flesh and bone Mold covered sight ruling morality Forcing trial, executions unfold Dignity has failed in use of status quo Accept the crown you feigned for Monarchy of mold Dirty fingers point below in disdain Crippled by projection, acts made in vain Ignorant to self improvement Diligence in control of souls Built so magnificent, halls paved of gold Hidden malignancy, monarchy of mold Dignity has failed in use of status quo Accept the crown you feigned for
5.
Deity Demise 04:03
Forlorn and encompassed a grandeur mission facade Disillusioned, slither striving for purpose Self-serving, all knowing light Sacrificing beyond all in sight Colossal being of stoic desire Utter failure of god portrayal Becoming calloused, misaligned By my hands, deity demise Worship the goliath, salivating blood to spill Ascend the goliath, with full intent to kill Plunge the blade, rip and gouge Leave the throat agape, leave him where he lay Beckoned flowers bloom and blanket an open grave Decompose
6.
Eyes fixate begin to strain, desolate gaze Feel the weight of dirt and hazy bury Unaware, now deprived Once feral instinct, now idle still Autopilot existence, forced learned comfort Astray to sunlight, floating Voyeur to the mutilation Cycles doomed to repeat Ravenous, consume in complete adoration Conscious rapidly separates further and further Numb, desperate Conscious rapidly separates further and further away Buried in resin
7.
8.
Ritually practiced, conjured return Viciously, prophetic reprisal learned for being reduced by blinded hate Segregate, revoking all morality Met with barbaric, triumphant force Soaking the earth in desecration For generations of vile prejudice and scorn Deprivation of privilege, idols left maimed and torn Scattered from shores across now the slaughtered mass profound Oracular burial grounds Forced colonization, stripped of honored past Indoctrination, belittled of sacred land Retaliation for genocide disguised and extinction by design through eyes of a pale brushed christ Foul clouds swallow stench of vengeance Mounds of filth array stench of vengeance
9.
Infatuation 03:23
Fall far down from the grace of reliance Wrapped in immeasurable thorns Feel the blight slice in deep, ripping open wide Limerence, behold Repentance, befouled Burdened by the sword of lust Enslaved intoxication Hidden beneath this mess of thorns, ripping open wide Grip glimmering crimson Dissect the idle mind Chosen to wield ignorant bliss Adorned in the form of rust Laid out in ecstasy, ill-fated slain Infatuation
10.
Swimming in despair, pulsating hostility Hand in hand mocking, stroking egos Constant restraint, suspended in motion While mind races with nauseating speed Manic display of disfigurement Choking by the hand that feeds In morbid acts of honor Saw and rip through tendon fragments Adorned to the altar in piles Carrion totem enshrined, instantly defiled As reality slips, blackened fluids drip Clenching heights revisit, held below to asphyxia Nothing left to sever, a grotesque reassembled mess Left in reverence, wither slow Convulsions, bowed towards this pathetic husk Flesh splayed in decoration, an erection of decay Now let this soul lay waste
