Behind the lavish mirror Where a clean commonage abides The throne of accord has fallen Sprung ablaze in the blackened sky Divergence casts a dismal shadow The luminous inscribed The night's horde has crossed Their pathetic line Behold the lush infernal night Remnants of woe in its wake The spirited few who perceive the sight Revel in the loss of the sane A storm exists in swimming minds Like a wolf apace in the dark The voice of conquer echoes aloud The spryest sparks are barred Prune the bleeding flower Its nectar pierce thy soul Its burn-a torch most deadly The paling light grows cold Pry the seal of all life Mere ill-flavored debris An execrable earth A wretched eternity Brave the wind...leaves of time...lies Strike down the common void Hate...the stench of writhe...swine Shy away from the light A foul taste...the bitter sting...lash out The lustrous slave must die A whore's child...stillborn...life's vein Bask in its blood The betray Torn affinity Lash out Extrude Grasp the mournful gloom Remove Pure dissension and pride Replace Commence our time anew Abhor Discard Refuse Allegiance to their fault Instill Contrive Redeem The pride that they have thieved Abet Uproot Ravage The kingdom they have formed Crush Route Our flame Will melt their golden crown The way of the flesh is set A presculptured dirt is dead Unleash our wrathful rite

Enamoured with the benighted czar Her beauty defiled through diaphanous garb Ephemeral love for the prevalent ruse A primordial gloom for those who seek her doom Invoking fear in most who lust for repent Their sin--a lost art--It was the birth of repress Pretense worship is the genuine err To obey the divine is to live consciously blind A squalid emblem Subjugate the mortal lie A fallacy--the true unholy measure Jus sanguinis is her way of life An unharnessed raven His wing will conquer all Those amongst who are unenlightened Will receive the fiercest blow The prophecy that she bestows Among the weak is filth Her most prodigious mold The only fate we have foretold Is ourselves, our will We rend those souls opposed And down upon the midnight sky We will renounce the wrath Heighten her tide of demise If this night succeeds, the black Will stain the earth and all is Lost--Who will shear the path? The severed whore bears a foolish rant Beneath her glare is clear thought-an infallible stab Ousted in an astral dimension Is her "truth"-the life-the death-we won't succumb Amass the earth as one synthetic majesty-- The siren song--A necromancer of sorts Evil akins to the foul cursed law Our storm will devour--spew forth a hideous squall The sheer disgust of "faith" Absorbs our mind--imbibed The writ must be erased Her fiery eyes that heed The land should be gouged Alive--She will fall by our hand The pallid heart that she can Impose--is as black as the night-- Will she war with her foes? Volition is the ground where we stand We'll defend ourselves Our steel eager to brand The dust of centuries A veil of myth and lore In the end, it will reap the futile Their soul shall fall upon the sword

As the winter lays dying I whisper the words The sand's hourglass Will be overturned And life as we know it will Pass like the day and all That was bright will Now turn to gray I can show you fear in A handful of dust The cinders of time Stoke the fires of lust The allure of fire My only desire Its glow engulfs my soul The ashes rich in the Undoing of passion Nursing the unearthly seed The line that was sewn Between the young and the old Falls prey to the god that feeds Torment suffering A prowl in the darkest gray Mesmerized by the vile witchcraft Its night tricks the eye With the illusion of day Suppress and mourning Beware the supple dawn Engrossed in the rape of delight Its the dungeon that snares Our thought A glimpse of Hades Ethereal blood has dried Avouch the meaning of pleasure The spattered feast defied Ponder the hell as to dream It hangs in the balance of life Poised to cut through ambiguity Pull the wool over death's eyes Fateful is the deceiving wind A fury of dust and desire for bath Cleanse the despair over sin Muffle the cries and the dark howling laugh Conjure a scent with sweet caress Instead of a burning fear incensed Ravenous hatred swallows surmise Devoid of mirth-no kingdom shall rise The water clock has Strangled the morn It bores from within Its beating pulse will adorn The love of this god Weeps-an essence long-lived It breeds a raging heat Pent up in the skin The glass orb casts A glance upon their graves A dire end to those Who wish to be saved An incubus spread Where maidens do lie Foul cruelty A faint mortal cry The depth of my sanity Walks in step With my evil state- A cloaked serpent? A need for steep primacy Lies in the hands Of the sun and the moon And the earth's fatal grab Sadistic by nature Terror in tongue A (rabid) display of ancient evils Out of blue tides are wrung Bow to the sands The valley of life Meter derived From the blade of the blackest knight Founded in conquer Bound to the scythe The soil's weak race Are seated before the emerald sky Lone Ghost pit to roam Loosely unrefined Apparition in fate I behold-the hooded one in his prime...

Your life is a myth Brought forth by insanity's creator But you can't resist The lies you have been told The world is nothing Random accidents-mixed up with disorder Your "soul" fulfills the ancient ignorance Of life eternal-a cliched prophecy Close your eyes to the light Endure the bitter cold Enslaved by your God Conform to their hold Shed blood of the ages Hypocrisy unbound The innocent left to rot Beneath your holy ground Desolate, mindless thoughts Kill the sound Emptiness in your breath Whispering Lonely hearts, life has no mercy Bury me You're just a spec, one in a million Filling space Life Has No Place... Symbolic of nothing more... Create your myth... Sculpt the lies Evolve and be left behind... Your thoughts are supposed to be advanced But you resort back to your old ways Absorb the abstract thoughts Of inane drivel You narrow-minded hypocrite See the err of your claims Force upon me your corrupt methods Of campfire folklore Rot in the soil Bathe in the dirt Unconsciousness Immersed in the black!

Bitterness awakens From its sleep in the heart of man Cold shivers incest the young ones... In our greatness we fall damned Hatred imbeded Deep within our putrid souls Bloody hands still remain clad With the torture of humanity We live in a world of Individual lust No one can save us From ourselves Human nature... Or maybe animal instinct Hereupon, The screams turned cries remain It makes a slave of me Slowing down my personal thoughts Escape the fallacy Of cleanliness unbound Slit my wrists... Free me from the pain of life Let blood flow Down my arm and from my soul Seal my fate... To torture for a thousand years Kill yourselves... No one cares about your tears... Happily married am I To the soft home whence I came But the torment of your find Interrupts my eternal dream of life... Neverending agony Fulfills your precious cause My eyes are bloodshot red From pondering killed innocence We will never free ourselves, we're Bound to pathetic lies To continue-to exist like this Is living suicide Now is the time to admit our fault The dark embrace is yet to squeeze The purity of this ugly clan You are a horrid sight to see The perfect likeness Of oppression and guilt Morality Does Not Exist Except Within Your Minds Reality Is An Opiate Plane Created By All Mankind

Beneath the floor of geneology Holds truth in this hollow blood Vanishing from comprehension Is the proof of the settled way Burn in your mythical land Let the fires consume your "souls" The foul stench of rotting thought Floats amidst in the wintering cold I can remember when You meant existence to me The whithering travesties Brand flesh with her sickening sign Love me for molded skin Until the flames are permitted to burn Melting unbridled lust Forever cursed by your bleeding eyes Reject me...Hate me No pain too weak No force too strong Degrade me...Rape my mind No thought too harsh Release the lions Experience the casualties and Feel the pain Sovereign leader - Demagogue Of fallacy Sole survivors of common sense Are ridiculed Greatness seen in naked eyes Until their close demise Illegitimate prophecy Cacophonous sounds Of Philomel Dead, feeble species Claimed as just But walking blind So few words need to be said... Your primitive lives explain all Eradicating brain cells With each justifiable proof How dead the concept is... Shudder to think upon it But, yet, one can't avoid The muttering of mindless nonsense Kill the local idiot In this decaying Earth Poisoning our cups Each and every day Like some immunity That few have failed to see Symbolic lamb-the leader Of conformity
