For the Angel of Death Spread his wings on the blast And breathed in the face Of the foe as he pass'd And the eyes of the sleepers Wax'd deadly and chill And their hearts but once heaved And forever grew still And there lay the steed With his nostril all wide But through it there roll'd Not the breath of his pride And the foam of his gasping Lay white on the turf And cold as the spray Of the rock-beating surf And there lay the rider Distorted and pale With the dew on his brow And the rust on his mail And the tents were all silent The banners alone The lances unlifted The trumpet unblown

I've witnessed the soil corrupting Blisters upon the stone Pulsating with such a hunger For something And motions more akin to bursting Just to stabilize I tread these hallowed piles Discarded flesh Emulsified Disperse their blood to vials Methodically redistributed Not one drop more Reintroduction of the dregs The shell abhors Clairvoyant through bedrock Ah! What shall this ritual confide in me I feel the rocks beneath Contorting Ah! The shallow gasps of life Violently spewing forth The knife I clutch and introduce new blood Slowly earth begins to turn and grind Against the bones of old (Of old) Mouth that folds into An eager O That churning It strives to pull life to a bleeding sway "Dancing glade Gnaw and splay Sludge into into my shoulder blades, My compass" Masticate Compression Mash and grate I take the mantle Of its keeper Calm its cries of Pain Ah! What shall this ritual confide in me I feel the rocks beneath Contorting Ah! The shallow gasps of life Violently spewing forth The knife I clutch and introduce new blood

The effluvial grime From these tomes Arcane knowledge From the ones who Share his dreams He gives no comfort Brings no respite This flagrant terror It fills the core of me Free from all conscious The tendrils of old Bind themselves to my flesh And for this moment The mortal folly of man I can see beyond god Without the eyes to betray me A sycophantic display Of retention Corpses in my stellar graveyard To decay in my state of mind Projections clandestine An ineffable change To the flow of age And syncopation Of an unfeeling eternity Burrowing beneath my skin and my flesh Slowly turning me Into a puppet Whos constantly learning The sway of the universe Belching and churning My vessel is full My plectrums are hung In one fluid motion I've turned from the sun Appalling This knowledge has Clung to the well of my soul With trembling breath As if a tornado with any name Could be less deadly (Like death) Situational sensations Evade my apathy (My agony) My brightest day A star renamed I’ll burn my name Into this life, red My brightest day A star renamed I’ll burn my name Into this life, red When the night spreads Wake up in a daze Dream of places where the ocean Meets the sun To my defense Exposure to this knowledge Taking dominion over my bones Distortion reigns And any shred of harmony I once held steadfast Must fall to the wayside The shades in my head Hide a stabbing desire To coalesce matter Marauding Appalling Destroying it after Laughing and spilling its blood And Performing a sacrifice Welcome and worship disaster Restlessly reeling in constant disgust Grotesque incantations erupt from my stomach Unconscious but powerful wills come to surface The masochist desire screams "I must be punished" As if a tornado with any name Could be less deadly (Like death) Situational sensations Evade my apathy (My agony) It brings no comfort Brings no respite This flagrant terror It fills the core of me My senses dulled, slow Gnaw at my soul, cold The final thrashes have ceased The plaster slips through the mold And for this moment The mortal folly of man I can see beyond god Without the eyes to betray me A sycophantic display Of retention The charred and flayed Fragments of my once Intrepid thoughts Destruction hangs In the corners of every Darted cornea My soul is forfeit My body is here for war Destructions looms in this jet black surface O The final folly of man is brought into the light As if a tornado with any name Could be less deadly (Like death) Situational sensations Evade my apathy (My agony) My brightest day A star renamed I’ll burn my name Into this life, red My brightest day A star renamed I’ll burn my name Into this life, red

Contention Unbound This black blood Coats his word Spectacular discourse Fills me with voiceless Pure Elation Speak the truth I speak the truth Flesh pig Bore through the weathered Anemic bone Into the mouth of the Christians Cord of the mother Ripened and fragrant Bubbles and foams with delight Pouring its power, enigmatic womb Into the vessel awaiting Oppressive aura with throat underfoot Now chasing the stagnating magics Of old Kiss of the temporal daughter Collapse unto me The intellect of the demiurge Live as your flesh Would through me Extension of my modest shell End life From the well White hot from the fusion of souls Deep in relentless abandon Slaves drawn to the pull of that will like a magnet Aberration of light to absconding Revolting creators alike Frayed apparition not left to devices Be cautions for malice endures Plagued with the knowledge of your Astral birth The circumstances of your Stellar design The recompense written in your skin History Wiped from the mind Oh Christ "The redeemer" Brings ignorance upon your souls Ignorance upon your souls

Floating in the tepid, fluid drip (A god) The necessity of reason that you defend (A god) Without a foothold you find yourself Swallowed alive by a darkness You'll never comprehend (A reflection) Look into the vacuum and perceive Ah Voracious beast Hungrily baying at my feet Uh Unfeeling flesh That slips with ease Through the solar wind That drip sent through a Dying planet IV And I knew in that instant A thought swayed On the cusp of an action As a child, neglected I felt the disdain from the chasm echo so impassive My refracted and earthly scope Overwhelming need to wash away Anxious, my misplaced hopes That Feed this chilling cold That I now know In this life, my Kingdom of night A brash wave of sickness, abound Akashic intelligence worming Its way to my psyche Dregs of misinformation Trace influence within my mind Formation of thoughts I unconsciously know aren't my own Cut back my lifeless body Spat up and withered Crippled upon this page Of a story, unending I remembered the feel of a cold blade Tossed to a flame I could hear a name Cold breath in a tongue Lost to the days Like a piece of glass pane Ripping through my veins "King of the great phase" Who's presence could render A beast tame A handle whos blade that severs In this life, my Kingdom of night A brash wave of sickness, abound Akashic intelligence worming Its way to my psyche Dregs of misinformation Trace influence within my mind Formation of thoughts I unconsciously know aren't my own

This is glory O what a senseless murder of our sun! Love! Time! Relentless slaughter of our sons! Blood! Flies! I've made this madness my own Heat death of eternity My heart is singing Against them Chorus of fragile Lungs engorged And bloated Intricate systems of organs Seize and malfunction A growing chora of destruction Compose in my wake Sift through the stars Weaving through stellar winds And nebula endlessly Upheave Myself from the gorge Unending maw That gnaws at hands of time One grave All of humanity In the stress when the back of your head throbs In the sense of unease that you feel in the pit of your stomach That all of your effort is null That's where I make my home And though it may subside for now You can't escape my sight Your wanderings, a constant source For my enjoyment I, the manta that swallows the ether The mountain that stands in the sea The gaping trench In a jet black void Into the Mouth of the Colossus again And now Limping on what little that Your species has to give I find it laughable Despicable to listen to the musings Of the dead The hubris of your notions And their grandeur crumble Arrogant defamatory creatures Bound to meat and bone And Rampant with anxiety And truly terrified to be alone That understand the depth But not the vastness drown This is the the circle of life The human paradigm One by one the cycle ends and begins anew Consciousness forever changed Through the morphing of years Embrace perfection Without example And made to walk a line continually Self redefined The nectar of trauma So sweet on my tongue A world without song Has come to rise As to what lies ahead Labyrinth of synapses Fire indiscriminately Til the cellular destruction Of the amygdala region Capsize The memory It falls to ruin 'Neath my eyes Such constitution subsides in time Terror Bring such an astounding terror The dream of a slumbering god That fills such wanton needs The hunger that won't cease To find a meaning to the madness
