Extinction Dialogue
06:44
|
|||
Cold nuclear winters are approaching
Storms of plague and pestilence
The sky’s many colors are collapsing
Into a singular hue of
Despair, fire, death, the unknown
Desecrating the flesh with cursed stone
Death forever sits beside you
In a home, creating a tomb
Belief, fear, the noose, the snare
Spiritual collapse draws near
The tongue that speaks it’s poison most clear
Writes the final extinction
Dialogue
Waste and vitriol are the sum of the substance
That creates the composite of man
There is not one singular notion
That lips cannot corrupt
Shame is not armor that protects you from the woes at hand
Blame is not a weapon with which to lash out at a weakly man
Blood of the earth, there is no fault in you
Destroys the curse, that is flesh and destroying truth
Weapons at birth, every cell a disease itself
There will be mirth, when the dialogue is spoke
Extinction
Shame is not armor that protects you from the woes at hand
Blame is not a weapon with which to lash out at a weakly man
Blood of the earth, there is no fault in you
Destroying the curse, that is flesh and destroying truth
Weapons at birth, every cell a disease itself
There will be mirth, when the dialogue is spoke

Negative Forms
03:41
|
|||
Scorned
Born to a vessel riddled with illness
Deformed
Lacking perfection, as is prediction
Wandering through the labryinth of addiction
and conception
Pondering every wound as a new lesson in
isolation
Believe there is something better at the
End of this lightless tunnel we seek
Illusion that our life will have some meaning
It won't continue on this path to nothing
Forms of endless ache
Fill up every space
Still life as we make
New shapes wrought from pain
Each muscle, each bone, constructs this wounded soul
Bleakness, starless nights, visions of grandeaur nowhere in sight
Creations, negative go towards the consuming nothingness
Creations, negative go towards the consuming nothingness
Forms of endless ache
Fill up every space
Still life as we make
New shapes wrought from pain

The Pious (The Poisoned)
06:21
|
|||
The pious said, "it's suffering that brings you closer."
Next to "him", an eternity of scars.
Next to "him", Next to "him"
Next to "him", Next to "him"
Leave them drooling, longing for death
From pious to poisoned to last breath
Forcing murder, for holy ascent
from child to martyr to descent
Gasping for air, the doctrine that stokes
From fire to freedom to smoke
Sworn to uphold the vile words of men pretending to be gods.
Empty and weak and hollow, taking from the peasants of tomorrow.
Blistered and lecherous, raping the beauty of the world.
Born of a seed of sorrow, taking from the terrified fools.
Pious
Poisoned
Pious
Poisoned
Leave them drooling, longing for death
From pious to poisoned to last breath
Forcing murder, for holy ascent
from child to martyr to descent
Gasping for air, the doctrine that stokes
From fire to freedom to smoke
The pious said, "it's suffering that brings you closer."
Next to "him", an eternity of scars.
Next to "him", Next to "him"
Next to "him", Next to "him"

Ferinus Vis
03:30
|
|||
Infinite in majesty, timeless in age
Compassion stolen
Tides of grief
Presiding over immeasurable woe
Silent heart beats
A chorus of screams unheard
Symphonies of screams unheard
Ferinus Vis
Caustic shores bring despair
with their wake
Ancient primal force
Ferinus Vis
Caustic shores bring despair

Ancient primal force
Ferinus Vis
Caustic shores bring despair

Ancient primal force
Ferinus Vis
Caustic shores bring despair
with their wake
Ancient primal force
Drown earthly flesh
Remorse is weakness
Weakness of men
Free from the chains of morality
Inherent Instincts
Carnivorous might
Cloaked in death's smothering blanket

Nomadic Plague
04:12
|
|||
Intrinsically destroying everything
Elaborately portraying martrydom
Lacking true conviction
Vapid contradictions
Creating mere illusions
of God, perfection, hope, where they wander
their mouths preach a doctrine to cast the first stone
lies born from the words of serpents in radiant robes
Casting out the concept of truth
A nomadic plague spreads like cancer
Burning out all the life
That existed in times before
One exception that is to be no more
Intrinsically destroying everything
Elaborately portraying martyrdom
Lacking true conviction
Vapid Contradictions

Endless Empty Shapes
04:09
|
|||
Cold and alone
Manifest patience
A tome of your own
false words of elation
A festering bloom
The fruit burgeons rotten
Beg for a tomb
Existence forgotten
Dark earth ready for this empty husk
No departing words you're only once
Feed this body, to the open maw
No profound journey, a ghost noone saw
Perpetual failures ink the canvas full
Bleak dark visions the only shapes to know
Empty eyes see only greyest skies
Rain falls endless, drowns the dying light
Tired of trying, refining
Different ways to feel anything
No more decisions, revisions
The final period inked and dried
Vacant no future, no sutures
To repair bleeding, accent every wound
Silent removal approval
Dissapearing indefinitely
Dark earth ready for an empty husk
No final words, a departure hush
Feed this body, to the open wound
No celestial journey, a ghost noone knew
Perpetual failures ink the canvas full
Bleak dark visions the only shapes to know
Empty eyes see only freeing rope
Rain falls endless, drowns the garden's hope
Cold and alone
Manifest patience
A tome of my own
false words of elation
A festering bloom
The fruit becomes rotten
Beg for a tomb
Existence forgotten

Altars of Rot
04:05
|
|||
Ignorant herds
Weeping with false faith, led to their blind ways
Creates a curse
Visited daily, biblical rabies
The crown he wore first
To promise a kingdom, for pious, devout men
Beautiful hearse
Carrys you to earth, lies of a false birth
Altars of rot
There is no heaven, there are no good men
Altars of rot
Putrescent dogma, eating away at any core of spirit that we have left
Lies of a hive mind, lies of the divine, on our kness, daily alms weaken us still
Unspoken martyrs, saints of the ancient, all compare, all contrast, all archetypes
Weakness incarnate, subserviant harness, greed for a story milleniums old
Hanging enigma, blood flowing freely, "his" is the weakness that they extol
Effigy's burning, flesh slowly churning, as they regress into meanlingless clay
Potent and vile, virtues on trial, there is no growth in the rotted one's words
Why do they move towards meaningless rewards, life truly wasted, nothing is gained
Altars of Rot
That lack true meaning
Like a rat caught
In a trap bleeding
Altars of Rot
That lack true meaning
Like a rat caught
In a trap bleeding
