The Death of Hope
I am the abyss from which all monsters reign
The lonely song that lost sirens mournfully lament
Born of constant absence deep within
The tears of a thousand angels are my only friends
I will desecrate
Annihilate
The last ounce of hope
I am the crimson trails running down your arms
The plague bearer in woven tears and the locust swarm
Born of treachery, shame in my veins
The blood of a martyred fraud diluted and so lame
I will demonstrate
Incriminate
The first lack of hope
We are the lie, the scorn that vies
The...

Cone of Silence
You captivated others
With those fancy stories
Catching ears, for all to hear
A master of telling lies
You believed them yourself
Woe is me, give all to me
Found yourself down now, face down on the ground, the bitter taste of dirt and leaves
All alone and now, hearing it all sound, the cone of silence deafening
Hallucinate now, the silence is loud, when no one you love is around
Forced everyone out, walls began to pound, I’d rather live without your fucking world
I will not, I can not
Believe your lies anymore
I can not, I...

Kings and Whores
Behold her rose dipped in blood
The beauty scorned with ripping thorns
Lovely but deadly under gothic candles
Where fauna pine in tombs
And silently mourn
Creature features highlighting deleted scenes
Starring things that scream under the neon lights
All those late time nights of wicked delights
Dripping crimson sights for all who worship her
The cream that churns as the incense burns
Is but food for the worms
Psychedelic vision divisions
Of chimeric sisters with gorgon tongues
Split in twain
Spitting venom in shredded denim...

Beneath the Surface of Glass and Malice
She once was the world, everything to me
Now she is but a whisper spoken among the trees
A budding rose in a red velvet dress
Her hair blowing gently in the wind’s caress
Beauty meant for eyes of the lords
To gaze upon her meant penalty
A cold death by the sword
Fevered nights along the moon swept shores
The waves crashing gently as she begged me more and more
A falling star that granted her one wish
For one short season of endless peaceful bliss
The summer of magical nights
But at the dawning Autumn’s curse
Came frigid evening’s blight...
Now she is but a whisper spoken among the trees
A budding rose in a red velvet dress
Her hair blowing gently in the wind’s caress
Beauty meant for eyes of the lords
To gaze upon her meant penalty
A cold death by the sword
Fevered nights along the moon swept shores
The waves crashing gently as she begged me more and more
A falling star that granted her one wish
For one short season of endless peaceful bliss

Tesseract
I have watched with eyes peeled opened
For far too long living under the hand
Offering a closed fist, registered by a list
The lines of reality break
Black and white silhouettes becoming fake
Too many words are said, the voices in my head
When religion is fucking dead
What is reality but a strand of thoughts?
The thieving bastards in the night never caught
Swallowing the bitter pills are lessons taught
The bastards in the night are never caught
Catch the kiss of the void
And welcome oblivion
Inside the tesseract of my...

My Dear Scum
I stand around the corner
That much further from reach
If any cared to stop me
Rejoice, you tried but it’s too late
Not just for me
But for you too, asshole
We’re both one step in the grave
I’m a man expected to move
Mountains for those better
Than us in their twisted thoughts
Rejoice when you lash about you
Blood on your hands
Laceration, you bitch
We’re both one step in the grave
You despise me
But I hate you
Totally
Unequivocally
Detest you down
To the basic single...

Glory Be To God
What must a man do to hold true to his beliefs
Murder for the right to be a free man
Or face the cold bite of iron swords?
Here we are, spit upon and called the pagans
For refusing to crawl with pining sheep
And kneel to a faith that was not mine
Burn our house and homes
All in the name of God
Bairns put to the sword
All in the name of God
Persecute, Absolute
Glory be to God
Resolute, Execute
Glory be to God
Invading armies under a banner white
Stained red from miles of villainous torture
To refuse their Lord...

The Gates of Erebus
Spawned from the deepest parts of the guts of Chaos
Spit forth into existence, made from lasting winter
Madness in the dead of night at the eve of Titan’s light
Revelry in arts of death, a brittle splinter
I am the cold bite of shadows
Creeping in your bones and plight
How can there be a dawn
In the heart of perpetual night?
The bane of Aether, casting spells in the darkness
Brother to the dead master in bodies slow decay
I have seen the Titans fall at the foot of Olympus
Forged in the blackest armor, the helm of Hades
I come...
Spit forth into existence, made from lasting winter
Madness in the dead of night at the eve of Titan’s light
Revelry in arts of death, a brittle splinter
I am the cold bite of shadows

The Omega Star
In my darkest hour you remained a constant
Light standing alone against the shadows
The rock standing firm before the storm
You’re the only one who calms my rage
In the cold nights of cruel winter
Remain my nurturing warmth so true
You are the alpha, please take my hand
And take me across horizons, my love
To the omega star again
Upon this rocky road we have come so far
With every bump we have struggled to crawl
On this gravel path to reach solace
Together we will witness the sunrise
Do you remember the song ...
Light standing alone against the shadows
The rock standing firm before the storm
You’re the only one who calms my rage
In the cold nights of cruel winter
Remain my nurturing warmth so true
You are the alpha, please take my hand
And take me across horizons, my love
To the omega star again
Upon this rocky road we have come so far
With every bump we have struggled to crawl
On this gravel path to reach solace
Together we will witness the sunrise
Do you remember the song ...

The Loss of Innocence
Will you fall like all the others?
Place your hand on the bible and
Swear fealty to a false idol
Busy selling season tickets
To a blind man’s masquerade
If you can see signs stand up
And show you face to the watching
World who will forever shun you
Only for who you truly are
The countdown to the beginning
3, 4, 5, 666
You are branded
Faceless, faithless
Lost among them
A stain to them
To be shitted
And washed away
Truly hated
Less than nothing
Difference
Is an old sin
To stand outside...

The Ruinous Raping of a Fragile Mind
Here I am again, wet ink on my hands
Who knows what really happened here?
Lucid and dreaming, sanity slowly leaving
The poet scribbles the verses
Inked with the blood from his red fingertips
The stinging behind the eyes slowly rip
Ruinous raping of a fragile mind
Brutalized by media torture defined
Geniuses and madman laughing together
Until faces blur together vampiric and lupine
The nights of strong drink, exist on the brink
Who knows what really happens here?
Penning random thoughts at such a heavy cost
The poet listens to...
