Killer 02:49
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
2.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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

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

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

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...
