~Echoing chamber~
You’ve got the cards
All laid out to see
What you want
Is clear to me
No fight, no struggle
I give you what you want
Growing weaker
Day by day
Decaying cavity
In an empty room
A place where no
Flowers ever bloom
By order and action, it’s your choice
Or now is it really? What’s your voice?
You pay nothing, I give you, gratis
It’s what you wanted, but nothing is free
The sound of your own voice, so soothing, feels right
So familiar, no need to fight
You pay nothing, I give you, gratis
It’s what you wanted, but nothing is free
We created a world for all to play
You sold your voice, that’s how you pay
It’s just too easy, you and me
I can read you, but you don’t see me

Suffering

Suffering
Every Day
Beleaguered
Am I insane?
Surrounded by cretins
Who should be ashamed
Forgiveness impossible
Prepare the guillotine
Silent Suffering
Spirit in chains
The idiots are breeding
Hammer the bastards down
How
Can I get you to see
We suffer
By unspoken decree
To speak out is a violence
As they crush underneath
All sense of logic
Replaced with belief
Silent….

Mass Homicide

Kill them all
Line ‘em up
Let them die
By their own hand
Kill them all
Sick in a hole
Weak by their
Own admission
Confused, mislead
Burrowed in the head
So dumb, numb
Better dead
Armed to the teeth
Seething with hate speech
Scent of blood
Hair trigger
Exacerbate
Slur and berate
No love, just hate
For your fellow man
It sickens still
Move in for the kill
Playing into
Their will
Perforate
Eviscerate
All in sight
Cut your own life
Fucking die!
Give them guns
Give them ammo
Give them time
Let them die
Give them arms
Subsist on
Nothing but
Their own vitriol

Destroy All Light

Destroy all light
Plunge of the knife
Destroy the light
Drink for me
Raise, raise and fight!
Destroy all light
Gather your arms
Gather your men
March to die
The journey comes to an end
Now at the last page
Tear it out
In the dark rain facing forces
Come treading down full front
Confront and slay the tyrant
Rearing, looming over all
Plunge of the knife
The night becomes bright
Reeling in darkness ecstasy
Destroy all light
No wrong nor right
Obliterate oblivion
Extinguish all hope
As we topple the great monolith
Prayers for salvage and peace
Useless now more than ever
Hiss of the burning light
Destroy all life
Flame licking black
Plunge of the knife
Cut the black smoke

Palace of Tears

Delusion
Of Reprieve
Creeping madness
Born from grief
Fear the mute
His silken rope
Like a coward
Almost king
Behind grey walls
Choke on your screams
Starved of daylight
Denied your rights
Sleep is a cage and dreams of the outside leave you
Ripping your nails on the walls as you scratch to escape
Fingers bloody
Tear the walls
Life denies you
Such golden halls

Disfigurement

Ugh
I spit
Your form
Disgraceful
Hide
Your face
Abhor
Your features
Lie
Beneath
The filth
And refuse
Die
Beneath
My feet
I crush you
I crawl in the sewers
I breed in the slime
Disease rots my face
Flesh falls from my bones
I long to end the pain
To suffer no more
Born to the gutters
A subhuman race
Out of sight, out of mind
Hide my disgrace
Impregnate your women
Disfigure your sons
Castrate the children
Your shame my revenge
Spread
My seeds
Of hate
Disfigurement

Temple of Vermin

Ravaged by the torments of the sea
Nightmares pale to reality
A raft lashed from family’s flesh
Enslaved by insanity
My lives past
On display (revolting)
Hallucinate
To escape
Salt water gnaws my flesh
Turning paler than my bones
My lives past
On display (vile servant)
Hallucinate
To escape
Bloated faces speak their horror
At the thing I have become
But they don’t see the visions
Transgressing all belief
I remember when I used to serve
As a priest
To vermin
Altar of plague
My domain
Bow your head
Save your prayer
Vermin teeth begin to tear
The screams are prayers to the pain
Insatiable, you live in vain
Sacrifice
Unending
Kill to feed
Breed the gods
Spawn are feasting on your flesh
My vile gods spreading death
The piles of bones begin to rise
Towers of white beneath dead skies
No more humans left to kill
The gods destroyed by their own will
Scratching at each others’ eyes
Architects of deicide
The final howls begin to sound
The temple crashes to the ground
Earth is steeped in vermin blood
My altar sinks beneath the flood

Chained to Horror
02:16

|
Swarms sting my tongue
Nothing is said
Death to all sense
A hollow head
Hide behind children
Command the attack
Cowards for leaders
Their belief your fact
Treated like vermin
Refuse to bow
Destroy their defenses
The time to think is now
Chained to horror
Locked in torment
Chained to horror
I will be
Shackled by insanity
Imprison all reason
Hide from the truth
The path that you take is beyond stupidity
Salt the soil
Poison the stream
Let us all choke
On the ashes of a dream

Enslaved Again
06:56
|
|||
|
The shackles come off
Run free
To the wall
Of oppression
Oh, this game
It ain’t over
From above
Going just as planned
Running into the same snares
Again, again
Broken classes, vacant stares
No sympathy at all
No one ever told you
No need to subscribe
You’re not a player in the game
Just a piece of the pie
Back against the wall
Surrounded by thieves
They tear off your clothes
Left with no dignity
Enslaved again
Again, again
Enslaved again
Wait to die
