The Descent 01:09

Uncertainty for the times that be A blighted seed permeates the entity Infecting and directing The roots of malignancy transforming and absorbing Harbinging essence of instability Ingesting and repressing The need to see beyond dreams taken by the leprosy Forced to become hosts to a miasmic strain of corrosion While black wings circle above a rotting existence Waiting for the listless to finally succumb to the weight of stillness Bending to thrones, deceived by hope We believe there to be any meaning Slitting the throats of the trodden and lame Insatiable hunger for self-righteous gain All for nothing Alone we walk in a forsaken world Alone we’re condemned Slowly waiting to waste away Alone we just waste away Infecting and directing The roots of malignancy transforming and absorbing Harbinging essence of instability Ingesting and repressing The need to see beyond dreams taken by the leprosy While black wings circle above a rotting existence Alone we waste away Alone we rot

Deep within the bowels of the mind Lay the ones who wait to be freed with every passing moment Struggling to fight the edge of sleep Baring the teeth to rend and to feed Don't stop cutting Locked away by indefinite process Forced to endure the unwakened state Circled by those who’ve relinquished control The sunken vessel begins to obscure Have you forgotten the madness that lurks within us all Seeded deep, it lays dormant It is many Waiting to claw the way out Breached by twisted endurance Hidden from the surface Sedated into silence when entering the nocturnal haven Where we cannot tread We are so nearly..

(We have an eternity to know your flesh) Peer into your soul Peer into your mind Knowing what makes you tick is satisfaction of passing time Twisting and turning, so unrecognized Serrated, displaying, and stripping the rind Eyes searching for the rest of the truth Bones breaking with nothing to lose Your anguish will be absolute For heaving the penance untold will not suffice There is only time in this infinite place Where agony and sorrow are common currency, spared none Your flesh will be known Salvation to some Damnation to others Unbound pain and pleasure are one in another Tethered by rusted arms to this world The workings of the lament configuration reveal all Twisting and turning, so unrecognized Serrated, displaying, and stripping the rind Slung by the iron, lunging from the deep ether Fate sealed by a maze of lecherous seekers Eyes searching for the rest of the truth Bones breaking with nothing to lose The anguish will be absolute For heaving the penance untold will not suffice Salvation to some Damnation to others Unbound pain and pleasure are one in another We have an eternity to rip apart, and know the truth intimately We have have an eternity to know your flesh

Searching for the way For what brings this life purpose Not carnal, nor monetary But the thrill of something much more Death is but a tool to reach beyond this empty space I have in my hands the power to sever the threads of fate For greater purpose, for common goal I’d rather be a villain than another complacent fool I’d rather end the wait Just to watch them bleed You think there will be no effect You think that your actions will go unchecked These wastes of human skin take for granted the odds to be breathing again I am so sick of inaction I’m so sick of delay from intemperate rage Wrathful be the weight behind my purpose As I sharpen the tools of my trade Let it be known on this day I proclaim the mark of stigmatic hate To cull the burdens of earth To completely eradicate Make them bleed For their ends will justify my means Vengeance akin to perdition unleashed I will hunt you with every fucking breath I take You will bleed I proclaim the mark of stigmatic hate Make them see Make them bleed For their ends will justify my means

Catatonic tendency Obscurity condensing the tantalizing screams Shifting the whites of these eyes Hollow gloom rest behind the seeping walls What does it mean to live or breath without the grip of suffering Clenching so tightly, sifting beneath Contorting everything while skinning your creed Further and further beyond the worm Enlightening chill of the empty sun Take my hand and let me show you salvation through a window of fractured time For everything created fall unto discord And unto dust everything we’ve lead to believe true There is nothing but the dead and the devastated There is nowhere but the sinking lethargy A rebirth of existence where the only god is pain Baptize in the fountain of infinite agony There is nothing but the dead and devastated The only god is pain Mark these words You will suffer You will suffer Unsew the eyes Spew out the lime Further and further beyond the worm Into the well of the empty sun There is nothing but the dead and the devastated The is nowhere but the sinking lethargy A rebirth of existence where the only god is pain Baptize in the fountain of infinite agony Where the well of the empty sun lay There is nothing but the dead and the devastated The only god is pain The only god is pain The only god is pain

When I close my eyes The faceless ones come to beckon the dying light And take me so far below Reaching, godless divine They hold my mind, then they tear us apart I don’t know where this place breathes beneath my sanity The sense of dread turns to calm A pitch-black room where the warmth of illumination quickly rots away As the old ones wait underneath the breach of sleep for me I cast away the shell of my former self Only to be filled with distaste For the same reasons which lead me here The same reasons they know Every sensation, every paralyzing whisper in the deep Hate, wrath, and apathy My lust and greed for understanding how How they reach me from beyond the veil far much older than time Far much older than me All I know is that I’m taken so far So far below Deceit, betrayal, agony Only pain and wretchedness It slowly withers away everything claimed to be There is nothing but this dark room and misery Everything claimed to be There is nothing but the aspects of misery Reaching out to take me so, so far below I can hear their whispers with every waking day I can hear their whispers with every waking day I can hear their whispers with every waking day

Thick embers asphyxiate Endless fog of destruction Iron and sinew turn to stone Filling my lungs with unyielding devotion Breathe deep the charnel gaze of my conquest And the rivers will flow red ichor and tears of those who stood against me Bring them to their knees There will be no mercy through cleansing of a man-made disease Feeding the engine with blood and bone Its atrocious maw festering with immenseness of unspeakable casualties Breaking the will of societies Their lost cause of repent Bare witness the shade of despondency Weep unto me woes of reclament Leading astray from the origins of virtue and knowledge A beacon of change corrupted and torn asunder Swept by the ruthless winds of tyranny There will be no greater knell of misery sung To heed the echoed souls wracked for all to see Let them hate So long as they fear For my atrocities bred of necessity Will unleash upon the creation of man A sovereignty of undoing You will know my name The skies will part The ground will quake As false constructs are laid to waste Your shepherds will be stripped of identity From the ashes of reckoning hate And you will forever remember The profound stain upon this earth, bled from all in my wake And you will forever remember Ascension and dominion of the warpath I once laid

Virulence 04:24
Ravenous intent Growing behind the infesting hate in my chest It continues to perpetuate idle hands Proliferate and condemn The vile pleasure of abhorrence absolving me Putrescent to the human condition Venomous tendrils breach all surroundings Infiltrating vast networks of subconscious entropy Forsaken to betray While everyday I struggle to control the urge to annihilate the grip on my sanity As your laments fall upon deaf ears and loathing Hosting a reverence for depravity Unable to find a source Calculating potency corrupting everything around me And I, becoming numb to the pain Fixate to watch it die Savor the fetid decay Salivating further from mine I want to watch humanity die I feel so fucking sick This is virulence And I, becoming numb to the pain Fixate to watch it die Savor the fetid decay Salivating further from mine When the torment finally settles in the eyes Arousing me Devouring as I watch As I taste humanity die Humanity, die
