“May the merciful gods, if indeed there be such, guard those hours when no power of the will, or drug that the cunning of man devises, can keep me from the chasm of sleep.”

I remember when I close my eyes
A distant figure foreboding in my sights
Stoic lines were etched across his face
His hair a flowing grey
His marble eyes opaque
A voice of an angel, it was so crystalline
Our conversations so complex no one could conceive
I recall like it was yesterday
So vivid and clear was the reflection staring back at me
“Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed.”
But there are memories I will never escape
I pray for slumber
A lifetime of pain is buried within me
Buried six feet deep
It’s only just begun
The days events preceding like needles they stung
Fear has taken my mind
Invasive like a parasite
A journey so explicit, we swore to never speak of it
Extreme aspirations of another world
To conquer all the stars
But I’m afraid we’ve travelled much too far
This thought has rocked me to my core
This nightmare’s only just begun
“Wise men have interpreted dreams, and the gods have laughed.”
Most men will never see what I’ve seen
They’ll never transcend lucidly
But there are memories I will never escape
I pray for slumber
A lifetime of pain is buried within me
Buried six feet deep
I know things will never be the same
I pray for slumber
For this was conjured inside of my head
His statue remains at the end of my bed
Hypnos, you have forsaken me

Forgive me Father for I have sinned
I wish to hear your voice inside my head again
I shalt not veer a single step away from your path
Oh Almighty, omnipotent sociopath
The life that I once led is forgotten
I am born again, all shall fear your reign
For all that disobey you, my Lord
Will eventually be suffering forevermore
Father, bestow your love upon thee
You inherited my soul wholeheartedly
For I am weak without your touch
I am nothing, voice above
But all I seek is purpose
Oh please just forgive all that I’ve done
But all I seek is purpose
Oh please just forgive all that I’ve done
Forgive me Father for I have sinned
I wish to hear your voice inside my head again
I shalt not veer a single step away from your path
Oh Almighty, omnipotent sociopath
The life that I once led is forgotten
I am born again, all shall fear your reign
For all that disobey you, my Lord
Will eventually be suffering forevermore
I shudder to think of those who shun you...
Descensus
Forgive me Father for I have sinned
I wish to hear your voice inside my head again
We will watch it burn down
Burn
We will watch it burn

My wrath has only just begun
You made my list, so you better run
The Black Mamba doesn’t bow to anyone
They left me for dead with a bullet through my head
The price you’ll pay embedded in my blade
I have awakened full of venom to kill
This atrophy was never going to stop me
One swipe from me and you’ll be on your knees
Begging and pleading me for a sweet release
You’re a coward in fear and should be running away
Bittersweet, I won’t forget this day
The world stood still, I could see our breath
I will grant you a warrior's death
You will be the last I’ve slain in cruel and agonizing pain
Face me
Drenched in the blood of my foe
Face me
Dressed in the white of the snow
No heed
I shall proceed
My sword will sing the melodies
Cries of fallen enemies
Spare me from this tragedy
I am longing for eternal sleep
To the edges of eternity
I shall break the chains that hold me down under the weight...
For your sake, I hope you find a place
To hide your face from everyone,a memory erased
You coward!
Come and face me in the final hour!
Save yourself from this encroaching nightmare
I am coming for your life to end my terror
Save yourself from this encroaching nightmare
Stake your final claim for I am despair
You are vermin
I must exterminate
For my honour
Come and face me in the final hour
Spare me from this tragedy
I am longing for eternal sleep
To the edges of eternity
I shall break the chains that hold me down under the weight
Hold me down under this weight
She deserves her revenge and we deserve to die
For my honour

Devoid

We march towards the end
No flowers, no grace just life erased
No sign of respect, they left no trace
Devoid of life
This is what we have become
Bottom of the barrel scum
No second chances
No use in taking stances
They dance in synchronicity
Enacting the extraction of your being
You are all disgraced
Putrid piles of human waste
Manipulation of mortality and sin
Let the final ritual begin
The sacred chant entices the weak once again
It inherits their minds like an acute pathogen
We all speak in unison with dagger like tongues
By the semblance of obscurity you’ll all be succumbed
Thou hath spoketh to the new born children of scorn
Bring them forth
No flowers, no grace just life erased
No sign of respect, they left no trace
There’s nothing left to love
Nothing left to embrace
They took everything from us
We are a disgrace
Thou hath spoketh to the new born children of scorn
Ripped and torn bring them forth
Dies Iræ, Dies Illa
Dies Iræ, Dies Illa Solvet Sæclum in favilla
The sacred chant entices the weak once again
It inherits their minds like an acute pathogen
We all speak in unison with dagger like tongues
By the semblance of obscurity you’ll all be succumbed
Dies Iræ, Dies Illa
Solvet Sæclum in favilla
Thou hath spoketh to the new born children of scorn
Ripped and Torn
Bring them forth
Ripped and Torn
Bring them forth
Bring them forth
Bring them forth
Bring them forth
Bring them forth

We grasped our hands together interlocking ourselves within eternal bliss
I’m meant to feel this way, and I know that you’ve always felt the same
I know we’ll be together standing at the end
Grasping at where it all began
Once absent, but whole again
Oh dear friend, it’s great to be with you again
With each passing day I never grow old of your face
We made these memories, I’ll cherish every second, nothing can take this away
I only hope that we don’t forget, a firm grip on every sentiment
We will burden ourselves with this
We have burdened ourselves with bliss
Once absent but whole again

Injected in my veins I see my world turn black
The perception that I’ve gained I can never take back
Logic, reason and eternal regret
That I will never forget, that I will never forget
Broken down and beaten by subconscious mind, that never ceases to betray me
I give up, I submit, I admit that I am worth nothing to anyone anymore
These thoughts I had so long ago overshadowed by the constant reminder that I’m irrelevant
Swallowed up by these overbearing waves of shame and guilt
I wish I had known these truths
I wish I knew what I was
I wish I knew what I’d become
Fucking irrelevant
I worship the pain and I worship the guilt
So I dream of ending it all now
To depart from a world of pathetic self indulgent, sycophantic cunts
Please spare me the pleasantries
You’re not in this for me, you’re in this for yourself
To try and prove to us that there is a god who truly loves us
But you’re wrong
False idols and lies won’t save your soul
Only the blackened embrace of the void will set us free
So pray to your god, he wants you all to suffer
“I have a deathwish and I will see it to the very end
I’ll hang by my neck until I’m fucking dead
Let my ashes blow to the wind
So that my name may never be said again...”
Let me close my eyes to sleep
Eternally
I have a deathwish and I will see it to the very end
Let my ashes blow to the cold wind
So that my name may never be said again

Our scars, our scars
Have made us who we are
There is bliss in suffering
So we carve the knives in deeper and deeper to feel something
Oh how I'm longing to feel
Effer vescent and real
Effer vescent and real
Close your eyes, this'll go away (maybe)
The fodness I seek hidden within memories
So far down you cannot see it
I locked the door and threw away the key that you will never get from me
What will it take for you to admit
That you're just as lost as I am
Stop pretending it'll be just fine
And never say that I'll be alright
I am just as broken as you
I won't be sound until you're nowhere
To be found
Closing my eyes makes staying here and alive
Worth the price of irrelevance
Existence is pain
Our scars, our scars
Have made us who we are
There is bliss in suffering
So we carve the knives in deeper and deeper to feel something
Oh how I'm longing to feel
Effer vescent and real
Effer vescent and real
To feel whole is to consume all that feeds your desire for pain
Become one with the hate that flows through your veins
Only then will you be strong enough to endure
The insufferable longevity of life itself
There is bliss in suffering
You are weak
Do not speak

We are the undying plague of this earth
Brought forth by the pain & the suffering of this heartless world
The end of it all is inevitable
You could never stop this
It’s been spiralling out of control
Everything's eventual after all
We are made to fall
We are made to fall
We are what this realm abhors
Never meant to be anything more than this
The human pestilence awakens the world from its restless sleep
Longing for its everlasting sanity
Just as far as the eyes can see
Burn it down, sacred ground, ever-longing for that tainted silent sound, so profound that I am lost I can’t be found
Never thought I’d be so underwhelmed
I always thought I’d see this for myself..
We are the undying plague of this earth
Brought forth by the pain & the suffering of this heartless world
The end of it all is inevitable
Scornful & shameless
We are the unquenched flames of this earth
The triumphant return of the end of the world
Bow down to the abyss
“Arcum Tuum in finem”

As the day is long the nights are longer when our hope starts to fade
They left no stone unturned, no trail unfollowed yet we stand here empty
You left us at bay at the gates
You sealed our fate
You’ve sealed your fate
A cold embrace
The waves wrapped around your soul to take you away
The arms of the sea rhythmically lull you to sleep
Forevermore
Eternally blue the everlasting deep
Forevermore
Love lost is impossible to keep
She still hears your voice in her sleep
I am pacing round these four walls
That have always housed my sanity
My inner guilt is slipping through the cracks
I could never turn back
Hearts stop beating when your fears come true
We never thought we would ever lose you
Reality has burdened me
Reality has burdened us with this
We grasped our hands just to slip away again
Perpetual sorrow personified
Why must we feel this way?
You ended your pain, so why do I still feel this weight?
We’ll carry the flame, it won’t be the same
But we’ll cherish every second
It won’t fade away
Why must we feel this way?
You ended your pain, so why will I always feel this way?
We won’t extinguish your flame but it won’t be the same
So this song will always scream your name
My friend how I long to be with you again
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face
Time gave us these memories whilst tearing them away from me
I hope to see you standing at the end
Grasping at where it all began
Once absent but whole again
Once absent but whole a...
