The farce… A toxin, perpetual. Their hearts: blackened, have become null. Dare not forget what horrors they serve, Nor to forgo the will to preserve, Nor to relinquish the vivid image of carnage, Which stirs the retribution envisaged. Wallow… in nothing. Not until they’re all dead.

O’ the visions that tear at my mind... I cannot carry on, These hollow walls reverberate her screams, O’ Gods, I fucking hate feeling so helpless to my fate (O’ Gods), But I must push on... For the monsters do not wait, A gift suppressed, Now bare to all, a sign of certain death, A curse, at best, A mortal reminder embodied by searing flesh, How can I call myself a human? What have I become? I slip between reality, Tear into my flesh... This farce they keep, Will be extinguished, Dwarfed no more by those looming above, What have I become? I now walk among the colossus. Kill them all… My brothers, Of hardened armor, Of towering heights, O’ deceivers, You, too, must die. Kill them all...

KVLD 05:58
O' agent of contempt, Whose breath is poison to Earth, We have come to preempt, What more harm might unearth, O' scorned youth, murderous and blind, Oblivious to the grand design, Whose miserly and avaricious vessels contain sentience undue, Your malicious deeds will not go without redress... As the Son builds upon foundations of mire and sand, The shrewd, apathetic envoys of the Mother advance, We look down upon you: O' infant race, unscathed by the course of nature, Your Mother weeps as She orders the cleansing of Earth, O’ how she laments your wasted potential, We are here, to fulfill Her decree, That Her vessel may once again know unity, We shall watch as you wilt away, Wilt... Thus darkness fell upon man, Her holy form, desecrated in life, shall be the venue of the ceremony of death, O’ scorned youth, foolish and blind, You shall now face your judgment, We look down upon you: Failed spawns of Earth, a symbol of disgrace, And upon the derelict wastes of the human race, And thus, the memory of man disappears--washed away as their Mother sheds Her tears.

Its sinister ubiquity: marching and manifesting darkness, Percolating paroxysms which are incited by its scrutiny, Thine substratum compromised, a slowly sweeping departicalization of matter carries us far away, To the nether realm: a district of departed souls, Endure the dark, And don't be frightened at the moment of your perishment for the fragments of your soul shall be collected and fed into the void, The wanderer... the vagrant... the envoy of death. The blade it possesses--sewing or consuming the life before it. Pedals glide and encompass the terrain, As a collective sphere, the eye of the storm: A graceful scene for the events to come, And now, so dances the Shinigami--thus is instilled the bliss of oblivion.

Never was there beheld a darkness foul as I, Ever swaying is the oscillation of the pendulum of time, And thus does matter diffuse into particles of naught, I am the harbinger of death. You have seen my face before as I have taken from you the ones you loved. Now breathe in my darkness, All organic matter forms hoarfrost, Flesh becomes brittle as the arch of sewing-life displays its radiance, I will consume you, Now I am here, my waltz of decaying divesting your mortal body, My hands clasping your life and absorbing your pulse, I am the harbinger of death. I exist in gluttonous eminence, the devourer of life.

What evil awaits inside? Emerging is an aura which stifles my mind, It pulls me below, It draws me within, A darkness so dense, I tense up, As it collects on my skin, In this cavity of malady and doom, Many a champion have perished, This hollow forever their tomb, What evil awaits in the great fissures below, In this chasm of graves for those lingering souls? Do I dare to delve into this abyss ahead? Or do I heed this ominous scent of death? O' but it calls me so, This invitation to my fate, Be it a fate of triumph or defeat... Still... it calls me so, This stark voice—a mere whisper, Yet inexorable—emphatic and deafening: A call to glory, of trials to overcome, And so I give in… Plunged into the depths of the Earth, To a place wherein the whispers above, Become a shrill howling of those agonizing souls, Just as those who came before, I sink to the cavern's core, To face the ruler of the underworld, What evil do I defy? Before me is an aura which stifles my mind, It seals me inside and draws me within, As it drains all my mana away, the struggle begins... Cut down to my last breath, The hand of God now falls upon me... Do not dare to delve into this abyss ahead... In this cavity of despair, We are greeted with our souls, laid bare, Please heed the cries of the fallen souls who came before, Lest you meet your end and share this sepulcher...

Snow 04:22
Forsaken soul, How have you wandered so far from your home? And what of this gray road? Shall it, dissolving, be abandoned to roam free at last? Oft do odysseys astray lead to untold fates, And do feet tread upon virgin terrain as fresh ink to paper, Where will you go? Where will you go now? Into the cold? Will you burst forth onto the pages left untold? To illuminate the skies and rain fire down below, Or cover this world in snow? When you behold their eyes through the ice, Will you endure the cold and face impending demise? Succumb to the night, The day slips slowly away, Such is the way the seasons change, And if the pale night begins to show, You will know that winter has come, Where will you go now? Into the cold? Will you burst forth onto the pages left untold? To illuminate the skies and rain fire down below, Or cover this world in snow? As the long night tears on, Be strong and afraid not of the dark, For the fire within your heart shall burn forever on...

Unleashed upon the convoluted concrete canvas: A trinity of alloyed colors execute an assault indiscriminate, They are but simple fiends, Who know only what their masters bid, And undermined by a wicked visionary, Who would rid the world of all false idols, And stain the world red, To take back what it means to be… What it means… You fakes! Down the narrow passage, Detached from the pandemonium, With tainted blades to purge all those who stray to a path of sin, I will cleanse the world of all false idols, And stain the world red, To take back what it means to be… You fakes! I’ll erase you one by one... Tonight, all must be dyed in blood, I will purge the world of all false idols And stain this world red, To take back what it means to be a hero, All must be dyed in blood,

… and so, I was cast from the nirvana whence I came to be: The glorious and holy dwelling of the Gods, Exiled by my peers to live eternally as a derelict, Atoning ever for my sin, for my complacency, Yes, I strayed from my path, But it was not always so… My fate was bound to the darkness from the very beginning, And thus I stand here today, By fault of man, have I witnessed my impartiality start to decay, Thus, one day… The vice of man found a place in me, I’d forsaken the order, divine, In trifling with the affairs of the realm of men, “O’ Peers!” I cried, “Shall we, undying, be still as ever doth the world pass us by?” We are all blind… We are all blind... Even now, I hear those cries, Echoing evermore through my mind, In this perpetual abysm--my prison, Without a sense of the passing time...

Why do I feel so alone? This emptiness is all I've come to know, Why do I feel so alone? This emptiness is taking me below, (It drags me down to hell) Stranded on a Phantom Planet, The great unknown, Give me the strength to come back home, Have I forgotten where I’m from? I need to know that there is more than this, Take me from the dark abyss, With every passing second, I feel my mortality taking over me, Make me believe that there is still hope, Give me eyes to see, Because I am blind… Why do I feel so alone? This emptiness is all I've come to know, Why do I feel so alone? This emptiness is taking me below, It drags me down to hell, For far too long, I've waited in the dark, I can't change the past, It brought me here, The die have been cast, This place is what I've feared, I'm falling, The voices call my name, I'm blinded and wandering without aim, Take me from this hell, I feel myself slipping, My mind is playing tricks on me, Illusions of a better place, Surrounded by dead space, There is no escape... I'm here to stay due to the price I've paid, Someone save me and set me free, Pulled from the darkness, Show me the light, I'm still in the fight.

Now, I find myself in a familiar place… Gazing upon a scene I can barely remember: A landscape scarred by industry, Worn to its threads... And in this moment do I recall: The world of men and their chaos, The judgement of my peers, And the prison that once held me, But it holds me no more! This place is the Earth: The muse once beloved… O’ child, I lament your atrophy, And curse those false gods, with their eyes turned away, But worry not, my love! Now freed, I shall purge your disease, For fate has seen fit to lead me here, And now all that is left is to shovel the shit... And so I shall proliferate, And so I shall annihilate, The scourge of man will end, It is an exercise in futility, To defy my divine decree, Now succumb to me! Now succumb to me, filth! … Now, I find myself in a familiar place, Gazing upon a scene of flourishing life… It’s brimming with peace.
