No rising from the ashes
You're facing the impending
No answers from the prophets
You'll die, and suffer the flames
Barricade with your possessions
As fate falls from the sky
Set well in your ways or your deathbed
There's nowhere you can run

Rain hell on this stagnated conscience
Barely alive
Let the scorn of foes burn through the brain
And consume your pride

Panic setting in, you had your fucking chances
My mind's already made up
Self-will has built this sanctuary
You're begging to escape from
Foundations made in vain

I'm watching from my window
And calling shortly after
The silence extends the question
Am I awake, is this who I am

Selfish, complacent and holding on
Until my days are set in stone

Like a cancer spreading distant
With no time to spare
Destruction calls
There is no second chance

No forgiveness, only flames
Burn
No forgiveness, only flames
No forgiveness only hate

I will bear witness
To the end of my days
With malevolence in my soul, I will find you
And watch you bleed

Taste your venom in my veins
And feel the poison on your tongue
Let the pieces of me you feed on rot you away
From the inside out

Eat away at your thoughts
And hollow you out of the shell
Of the human you are

Hear the agony in my lungs
And see the blood in my eyes
Smell the flesh rotting in your fucking wake
Senses fail, you filthy parasite

Choke on your actions and reflect
In your pit of atrophy
I will rise above you wretched
Pathetic bottom feeders
Spineless cowards

Die
Bitch

This hell you built won't go your way
Embrace the flames and fade away

I wander the surface
Pushing back against the me you don't know
Unfound in a sick and twisted life of nothing
But misery
I bow to nothing
I spit my faith in the dirt
Cause I don't accept the fucking guilt of living
Won't manifest some scapegoat to save me, no
I'll take my chances with my demons

I've come to claim misanthropy
But I don't think you fucking heard me
How's it feel to be a dead man
I've picked the skin and watched you drain
Until the pressure went away
You knew too much, you thought too slow
And I don't think you fucking knew
What I would go through alone
Yeah, fuck

Consuming what's left of you
I drifted away from control
And became the voices
Justifying my new itching for bloodshed
Consuming what's left of my mind until
Nothing could save you
Nothing
Nothing for you bitch
So shameless, expended
A drifter with nothing to lose

Smothered myself in ashes
Abandoned graves
But not the memories
Survive the peak of horror
Elude mortality
But when you play with matches you burn
Beyond the pale I showed my face to daylight eyes
And embraced convictions from the face of death
Cause I know it's
Too late to walk away I'll never give a fuck

I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything

Homeward to the sulfur
I dragged my harvest with me
Downward to the alter
An oblation for the dark one

Dismembered human pile of
Disciples without faces
Their will to die for sin
Was reimagined for my own
The divine intervention
Consumed the light in my heart
With nothing left in my mind
I obeyed the call for destruction
Forever slayed by the hand
Of your antagonist
The everlasting repents
As you were terminated
Echo through my soul
Embedding as a greater purpose
And resonated in the chapels
For the end of redemption

The ashes of their sanctions
Smeared upon the Holy Grail
Beheaded crucifixes
Stood with their feet up
To their father

I ate the tongues of preachers
For the blessings they bestowed
I took their eyes and let them
Suffer in the screams of
Bleating sheep
The weight of desolation
Stood upon mortality
And by his will
The first of the fallen
Claimed all creation

Homeward to the sulfur
I dragged my harvest with me
Downward to the alter
An oblation for my king

Abomination infests
A culmination of death
Undying embers of pain
Eliminated regrets
Demoralizing events
To maim or become the maimed
Abomination infests
A culmination of death
Undying embers of pain
Eliminated regrets
Demoralizing events
To maim or become the maimed
Suffer, cunts

I left nothing of the breathing targets
And robbed them of their time
To make their peace
Left nothing but a beaten carcass
The gates of heaven stayed locked shut
I left nothing of the breathing targets
And robbed them of their time
To make their peace
Left nothing but a
Beaten carcass
The gates of heaven
Stayed locked shut

Unapologetic
Became demonic
A heretic unleashed
His hell on (earth)
Unapologetic
Became demonic
The gates of heaven
Stayed locked shut
Unapologetic
Became demonic
A heretic had
Claim the crown of (thorns)
Unapologetic
Became demonic
The gates of heaven
Stayed locked shut

Homeward to the sulfur
I dragged my harvest with me
Downward to the alter
An oblation for the dark one

I bathed in endless corpses
And ate their fucking brains
I bathed in endless corpses
And ate their fucking brains

Dare you come across
Your own reflection
And ask yourself
Who the fuck you are
I think I've reaped the seed
Of doubt from my head
For I am crowned by insanity
Bringer of death, please
Hear my offering
And cleanse me of mortality

I will burn down the bridge to
Your only refuge
Laughing as I drag you down to hell
Exhuming nihilists with wretched intentions
The heretic beckons the sanctions to maim

I'll tear off my face
And leave it where you sleep
I am a creature of bleeding
Creator of sacrifice
I will feed off your cries
Master the chain of your necktie
My duality is driving me
I feel no shame
Kneel down and pray for death
Even the devil you know
Will take pity on your soul
I am your new-found appraiser

Bring me their heads
Start with the kings
Who cower
Move
Killing endlessly just to be
Left forsaken on the upside
The dejection of man
Will bring the flames

I will burn down the bridge to
My old existence
Laughing as I drag you down to hell
Consuming nihilists I've beckoned
With broken fists
The vagaries of dementia
Assure your fabled faith

Silence
We hoard them
Strike sulfur 'til
Their bones are black

Pyramids
Of their limbs
Burn
Good riddance

Goodbye

Sunlit pastures
So distant from this pouring rain
For what I owe to life
Is more than wasted time
Relief has passed me by
And I am just a prisoner
I know that apathy
Has flushed my vessels
Like bleeding cysts
Succumb to pressure
Nothing else remains

So come burn my skin
Breach this rotting shell
Rid my poisoned soul
I've dug holes so deep
I should be in hell
Fill my grave before I know
Would you stay?
Agony has made
Pestilence divine
Would you stay when
Death has lost its charm
And joy is just a dream?

Give in to sleep
Give it a minute
I'll be the best I can be
Given to me
Without a meaning
Or so I'm told
Driven to need
Another reason
I must detest what you love
Believe in me
Or suffer treason
Dare not challenge
A jealous god

Restless and intent on vengeance
I have scratched
And clawed for purpose
This is not what I intended
Festering projection
Well aware of my reflections scorn
I am nothing good
Pervasive spite will reign
And you'll forget my fucking name
Pervasive spite will reign
The light in me is lost
I am only hate
Now

Trapped in my delusion's grasp
Never to be seen again

Toxic assimilation
Rusting the cogs
The foresight of misery
Aligned with my thoughts
Foreboding silence is
The state I resolve
Invested in resignation
Clamoring to stall the crash
This is the best of me
This is the best I can be
Stay away from me
