Killer

Hell is every day
The torture stretches seconds
To reveal the space between
Where there lies a motionless state of misery
An hourglass
Filled with stones
Bleached like bones
It's shadow chills my torpid veins
Spirit soiled
Squalid shame
Slighted by solipsism
In the vat
Point eternal
Never really there
Screaming chained in that cave
Waiting to feel the end
Frozen gripped
In the crypt
Hangman at the exit
Standing primed
For the time
You decide
Living is not worth it
Consciousness
Soon dismissed
In favour of nothing
Nowhere more, no twilight
To the void
Die devoid
Of all remorse
Calm in negative space
Cosmic diffusal
Until the pull
Of infinite regression

You're Gonna Die
04:22
|
|
||
Freezing cold in the summer
Darkest mind in the light of day
Nothingness pulls me under
Into infinite gray
Cry out
Echoes pass by
Worth, memory
Cancelled, denied
Fade out
Into hindsight
Think back on all those good times
Cause they go with your life
Don't get swept up
By the illusion
There's a lot of cool shit you're gonna see
But dont let that
Make you forget that
One day you're gonna die
Seven courses from the shithouse
Eight ball hazy always
Nine could not prevent the meltdown
Tend to feel it's a waste
A transient season
We're taking drugs
Seek reprieve
From the sure
But the only way to get there is to go
Onwardly
To the forefront of mortality
Withering since we're born
Going down until we're tired and worn
Suffering in the close
Dignity has been ripped and torn
One day, you're gonna die
Legacy
Expired

Long Pig
02:35
|
|
||
A depraved facility
Where they cultivate human meat
Tastes so sweet
Grown from their seed
Callous, lined with tools of torture
To enthuse their lust for debauchery
Slaves shriek and screech
Such is the life of the long pigs
Breeders check the grade
Slobbering for their wicked feast
Sadistic butchers slice
While the freaks are still alive
Shameful and weak
Bred to mistreat
Pathetic herds of these bastards
Like cattle obey their masters
Brainless beasts
From infancy
They were flesh
Dull eyed
Sluggish hogs
Pallid logs
Twisted turn
Now want people not them dogs again
Total war, as the sect fights
Populace, dying outright
Turpitude, was their true bain
Left behind, long pigs remain
And just like that
A new genus is formed
Trapped inside the long pigs roam
Never knew they were human at all
On four legs through corridors
Where they spawned as a food source

Forest
03:16
|
|
||
Chartless
Unlit
Locals speak nothing of it
You ask them why
Eyes fade
Mouth goes dry
A vague calling, tempting
Murmuring trees, Luring
Sundown hangs
But I'm feeling wrenched
Towards the forest
Can't help but submit and find out
Flashback, this ain't the first time
Contract, lifelong bind
I know I've been here before
Split second dashes of colour
Cultish chants I remember
My feet know the way
Through sinister terrain
To the clearing, enter
Faces knowing, stand and stare
Return, can't quite place it
Masters, that much is evident
And now, I'm waking up
Branded to serve evil
I roam killing people
Transfer wounds to power demons
And each year I come to appease them
The hordes are out there
Sleeping infantry
All enslaved
Caught by the forest
Random blackouts
I can't recall
Now that the deeds done
My memory fades
Chartless
Unlit
Locals speak nothing of it
You ask them why
Eyes fade
Mouth goes dry
Every year, come here
Always wondered, about the forest
Maybe this time I'll go
And find out what the locals know

Basement Age
03:42
|
|
||
Living in the basement age
Ancient stained beige carpet days
Musty, dusty boxes of archaic outdated stuff
Under the glow of the textured yellow window
Rotten piss, give me a fit, jumping out my skin
Nervous clay figures, jittering around the corners
Yesteryear's dull ball, waning, two dimensional
Pull back the tape as the mouldy cardboard tears and frays
Pull out a tape, putrescent trace of the sub-creep way
Disturbed by events
A retrospect descent
So this is where life lead
Try crawling for the stairs
Entrapped but unaware
Hanging in an antique frame, dead
Greasy, fetid cave
Mildew covered, jaundiced ashtray
Relics lay pathetic
Forgotten hallucinogenics
Carapace of puke and excremement
Fermented by time
Armour from the truth
Protected by it's filth
Redundant shrine
Revel in the sublevels unseen, can't hurt me
Hatred in the basement hidden deep, where you won't find me

Life's Corridors
04:21
|
|
||
Come here boy
Slip out of that cadaver
And take a new look from a fresh place
Life's corridors
Built from weathered bricks
Covered in moss
Archaic labyrinth of endless tricks
Obscuring the source
You'll never be the same again
After you've been through it
You try to find reality
But you just can't do it
I've been lost
Trapped in outer space
Since I went too hard
Despite the message in my face
Floating deep
In a highly confused state
Maybe it's just easier to end it now instead
Man...
Aren't you fucking dumb?
Huh?
Absurd rules govern this spin
A cosmic joke where this mortal can't win
Don't hold out
That ticket's a term
Doom is all destiny
There'll be none to find the elegy
When the credits roll for the universe
And the theme song begins to play
Infinity eats up memory
To all sentient's dismay
Dejected
My mind has turned to shit
So fuck it all

Time Warmed Up
05:49
|
|
||
Time warmed up
Consdensed to one
Moment, I realise
That I'm alone
Trapped in my body
Cannot share my mind
Interaction
Cannot cross that divide
Ancient feelings fill my inner eye
Shapes from worlds still undefined
Time warmed up
Purpose ambiguous
Created to feel less useless
The illusion of life
Time warmed up
Matter don't matter
Eventually it shatters
The pieces return to dust
What can I say?
That'll ease this frightened soul
To mean nothing
Is a horror to great to know
And as the room distorts its now time warms up
And as I'm seared by my thoughts its true time is
Undead
Unfree
Wretched
Kill Me
What can I do?
To escape this crushing hold
Am I confined?
To solitude in this abyssal hole
Time warmed up
I've been running out of will to stay
If reality is this way
Don't want to live to see another day
In the end it doesn't matter
To the depths of madness I've been led
To a twilight beyond the dead
Mornings begin on my death bed
In this lonely place where time warmed up

Munging
03:17
|
|

Ascending up the mountain
To a golden globe that shines in the sky
Dip your hands into the fountain
Filled with the blood of those who've died
In these desert winds there blows
A tune of anguish and sorrow
Under the beating sun burning your back
It has become too late to turn back
Plagued by unreal visions
As you reach for the summit
The vultures await your slip
Yet you can foresee your
Immortality pure
Curse or gift unknown
But rocks crumble away
And you've had your day
Had your day
Had your day
Tumble right down
Death in vain
Descending down the mountain
To the baked and blazing sands bone dry
Smash your skull on impact wherein
Your blood shall fill the fountain so up high
On this trail of sins men roam
Seeking to beat their fate so hollow
Corpses line the bedrock festering and black
Their screams will haunt your dreams in a final vile flashback
Shade hides lost zeal since been
As you complete your plummet
The vultures begin to strip your carcass
Yet you can foresee your
Immortality pure
Curse or gift unknown
But rocks crumble away
And you stumble
See your immortality pure
Curse you can't atone for
A lurch in dismay
And you've had your day
Had your day
Tumble right down
Death in vain

Mountain Giant
03:22
|
|
||
When the earth was a sacred place
A big beast had to keep it safe
As civilisation grew
The beast knew what he had to do
Guardian
Monolith of land
Now begin
Purge as by command
Ceased to hibernate
The mountain giant's rolling out
Emerging from his cave
Letting out a giant shout
The earth trembles and quakes
As his rocky foot comes down
The giant is awake
The mountain giant's back to down
Settlements
Mistaken as a home
Once crushed it shall be their tomb
Infested unaware
Naive vermin unwanted here
Rock warrior stride
Impervious armoured hide
Unforgiving and bold
Megalith to bestow death on man
Terror in the village
Fucking kill em all smash and pillage
Fear in their eyes
Futile to repent at the end of their lives
Fires rage
Mass extinction
Slaughter complete
Now he's done it
Back to sleep
At the peak
Shall return
Milleneum
They rose up and he saw the sign
Slain by the mountain giant
Invade the land anew
The mountain giant will smite you
Consume, enfeeble
Siphon and need all
You rise up, he'll see the sign
Slain by the mountain giant

Filth
04:06
|
|
||
Looking back I can see
The snares you set
Ruthless sirens tricks
To blur my head
Witch
Stupified past reason
I came to tread too carefully
And so I was manipulated
Vexed
And so I came to feel that I was unwell
You were abusing nothing but a shell
Too bad that no one knows you
Like I did at one time
Too bad they can't all see that
You're just skin covered slime
Filth
Pathetic bitch
Filth
Insidious ditch
Detriment acquiant
Introduce poison
Unreliable shit talk
Lying to attain
Fake
Sound the trumpets to wound
With a feint
Paint a picture of a maniac and a saint
Why?
And so I was petrified
Paralyzed by deceptive ruse
Stupified past reason
I came to tread too carefully

Wind
03:24

Are you scared of difference?
Why does it cause violence?
Myriad horizons
But yours, the road of righteousness
Intimidating your sphere
Seeing with the eyes of fear
Phobia
A product of
The lust to be the justified progeny
If you had your way, would you wipe them all out today?
Believe in prophecy, that you're the pedigree
White knight, black sheep, saviour, bully
I try feel it through my own mind
Divine projection to the other side
Accept what daunts you
Ease your state of mind
No one asked to be here
And we all die
Segregate
Paranoid
Learn to hate
And divide

Vagrant in Creation
03:36
|
|
||
A blizzard opens up
Waking life has fallen into a dream
Lost in heavy fog
Fields of ice separating everything
Looking through a telescope
What was today is now so far
Always being left with smoke
A perpetual illusion
You're not the one
I thought you were
Stagnant in my life
So discontent, the days escape me
Drifting away
To the point where I am lost
In a realm of familiar thoughts
A blizzard opens up, fields of ice
Separating everything, its a dream
Looking through a telescope, so far away
Im dead
So dead
Vagrant in creation alone
Its neverending
A blur of disappointment
Blistering humiliation
Stirs up morbid regrets
I reach to drown another failure
But it stares me down with mocking eyes
Nothing will last
The days are counting down
It's getting closer, to the end
Sinking back inside my feeble self
Filled with the stench of my rotting aspirations
I've seen through time
Its bleak and empty
Waking life has fallen, to the void
Perpetual illusion, life's a fake
Looking through a telescope, so far away
Nothing will last
The days are counting down
It's getting closer, to the end
Forget the past
You can never go back
So live with all of it till you die
The pinnacle
Of my sorrow
Is just a hole
In a corner
The only road
Of humanity
Is to fade away
In the scope of forever

Down at the Docks
04:40
|
|
||
A moonlit pensive stroll
Planks creaking under footfall
Sullen sky of swirling space
Pale mist around the place
Gathered are living dead
By their own hand, sight was shed
Took a last look at the corpse of their love
Then they chose to see no more
Down at the docks
Where they took one last look
Then blind
Bleaching out their eyes
Down at the docks
Hanging from the wooden posts
Vast rows of bones in boxes
Pictures adorn these morbid crates
Partially submerged putrid graves
But as always in the night
Clump the ones they left behind
Blindly shuffling quest for peace
A hapless menagerie
Invisible witness
For this grim silent show
Born from a sickness
The ache for you to come home
In the world alone
Such a vile place
Can't bear to see another face
Till the end of time
Will be waiting
For the moment reunited
United
Down at the docks...
