A whisper at your door
A whisper at your feet
Echo of certainty
Absolution guaranteed
A maggot in your hand
A beggar in your past
Shadow of certainty
Is here…at last
With you on the way
Misgivings you concede
The coming lord of violence
No mercy for the grieved
With you all the way
Miscarriage you conceive
The reigning lord of violence
No flesh for the weak

Enraptured
I’ll seed your ripened shell
Dead eyes burrow
Beyond fractured lies
And infidel
A dream is the darkest mirror
A spark in the darkest mind
In black vibrance
To all ends ignite

Enter my eye
Mind of devolving wonder
Centerfire, pointless trigger
An empty chamber remains
Crescent halo
Descending North Star
A prayer for the dying father
Consumes our body in fire
Sorrow’s prescience
Transcending…
Vengeance, our rightful father
Our wounds can make them pay
Reborn deflowered
Impale your fecund remains
Center mass, fertile daughter
Enigmatic wisdom’s prey

Ataxic monuments
Imprisoned abysmal gods
Writhe to fathom decency
Recite your solemn love
One eye born to callousness
Dead skin cured to taste
One vision marred by fallacy
Null intent through sewn lids
Gaping skulls will forfeit
Unseen gifts of circumstance
Abhorred sleeping believers
Blank stare your sacred word
Headless martyrs cut their teeth
Our future remiss to condemn
We vomit unholy sacraments
One vision of collective zen

I’ve found you
Whore of such resin
Let my pain soak you in
Give me pleasure
From my want to survive
Let this day begin
Fester in your solitude
Your fallen days are mine
I’ve found you
Crippled slave of succor
My light compels your sin
Blessed is your wanton solitude
Where fate always wins

Tear the mind from will
Matching eyes
Birthing sac of human remains
Devoid of light, devoid of pain
In grained bringer of sorrow
In dreams we see it still
A mother’s birthright
To worship the kill
To worship the kill
Tear the mind from will
Maggot eyes
Wretched caste of godless remains
Devoid of light, devoid of pain
In grained bringer of sorrow
Worship the kill…
Worship the kill…
Worship the kill…
Sacrifice your living son
In praise of solemn will
Erasing imprint
Servant of the kill

Keep watch oh lord
I’m misery’s gleeful eye
Your entitled chants
For those scared to die
We walk among servants
And burn among men
Our angel’s bleeding light
Guides you in the end
Shield me from your solace
And I’ll shield you from my pain
Torture plays no favorites
In this penitential rite
I Contort and twist alive
Watch as its blood swallows
Black light purge my penance
Reborn in sacred glow
I’ll rise among the sick
And pity the bitch and dregs
Keep watch oh lord
‘Cause I’m coming
To greet you in the end

Voices from within
Voices from where I’ve been
Continuum of caustic phobias
I’m dying from your sin
Mirror twin
Draining vessels twisting
From inside your mind
Continuum of agony
Unveiling serpent’s eyes
Interred believers watching
Wanting
Make no mistake
The righteous will condemn
As dreams distill our chaos
The void is my sovereignty
The void is my fate
The void is my faith

If only you could breathe
If only you could find
The last living curse
To banish all mankind
My brethren are misled
My kin are diseased
If only you could see
A power beyond mortal love
I reign beyond your senses
I invoke the rising flame
Engulf my sacred heart
And burn the wretched flies
Destined to receive
A crown of blessed tears
Power beyond mortal pain
Death inside of me

Isis script
Pendulum hangs
Engulfed in velvet night
Be my guide
Be my sacrifice
Beholden watcher
A view to a sacred kill
Until the light comes down
Our prison
A matter of will
Isis script
Your body hangs
Engulfed in twilight
Child of misery once more
Be my guide
Be my everlasting light
Blindness, a curtain
Engulfed in twilight
As the light comes down
I’m your guide
I’m your sacrifice
I’ll take you with me
Into the mind’s abyss
Forsaken flesh, forgotten son
Unholy eyes look on
To reconcile…
To reconcile…
