Aspirations
05:00
|
|||
To conceive the furthest degree
In my inverted state
With little oxygen
Constricted Capillaries
I peer within hazed tunnel vision
These flames are so cold
Relentlessly inhuman
My voice has been silenced
Bodily expressions scream out of this pitiful state
A disorder diagnosed by faulty human wisdom
Let’s take him to our green pastures
These pastures of pride where every low class flesh yearns
If only for a day we could dance
Eye for an eye
Let there be an equalizing
Nothing more from you
No more than death craves to fill its abyss
To separate itself from the living
Let the scales become balanced
In this seemingly never ending dance of progression
These flames are so cold

Disgusting Hypocrisy
05:10
|
|||
On your own grave you would spit
Light the torch of attention
Pave the way for a path you won’t walk
And watch from afar
I’m trying to breathe but you block the way
You say raise my hands
But you dwell in the depths of Sheol
Your breath is a consuming fire
Exhausting the most genuine of hearts
Preaching the art of perfection
While each step brings you closer to death
I’m trying to breathe but you block the way
Painting your face to convey the mourning
After fully consuming the flesh of depravity
Your pompous rants filled with filth and mystery
Disgusting, hypocrisy
This must be, inherited (2x)
Planting seeds of disgust will grow what tree
Or did you think the sower never reaps all
While each step brings you closer to death
I’m trying to breathe but you block the way
Painting your face to convey the mourning
After fully consuming the flesh of depravity
Your pompous rants filled with filth and mystery
Born from the seed of contempt
Existing for a time until eradication
Actions seen clearly from eyes of discernment
Leaving a trail of apparent stench

To Be Reborn
03:38
|

My guts used as fertilizer
The stench clears the way for growth
This monstrosity growing
Made up of elements of death
The churning molecules dance
I see arrays from a distance
The desolate landscape revives
I absorb the aura
Unbiased and feigning for green
The death of all
Circle of life in full swing
You’ve met several demises
And you come back around and eat
You might have thought that being reborn would change the outcome
My guts used as fertilizer
The stench clears the way for growth
This monstrosity growing
Made up of elements of death

Depraved State
03:31
|
|||
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Conquering with flames
Did not these embers fall into your bosom
The swords swings full circle
Self decapitation
Turned over by your own hordes
The sweetest lesson observed
Pass the torch
One isn’t enough
All must drink
From the cup of deviance
To attempt every technique
With no success
History never brought true knowledge
They’re filled with lies

Departing
04:46
|
|||
When I’m caught in this endless noose
Options are scarce
I’ve seen previous steps
Leading the path of demising
These souls take their hold in strife
There’s only one way to go
The bending of a righteous cause
In their own eyes
Treading this lonely trail
eradicating what I’ve known
Reaching into the art of depletion
Exhausting the will to reason
The deepest of pits
A follower of all things man made
Receiving the mark to proceed
Outcasts held in contempt
The ferocious beast has spoken
Fierce wings of condemnation
Breast plate of iron
The persuasive schism of old
An ancient ruse of lust
Egotistical expressions of self preservation
A narrow minded step of guilt
Breeding seeds of derision (x2)
To be seen by the few

Without Hope
03:35
|
|||
The silver lining turned grey
The Bleakest of overcasts
A dying sun
Uncertainty with Anxiety
These clouds no longer provide any hope
In this state all senses are firing
When reality has become the most clear
I see how deep this pit really is
I cannot blame others
As if I’ve never contributed
Some lots are received
Some lots are made
Without Hope is the realist of emotions
A place where I can begin
There’s no lies only truth here
The epitome of perfection I’ve craved

Dying Flames
04:20
|
|||
A fire once burned
Danced in freedom
Glorified and Pressing
Then visions of a monument realized
Fuel source cut short
Descending from a seed
Reborn in a depraved state
Yearning to Ascend
Oh how this rooted tree once stood
Lots to drink before the river ran dry
Now parched amongst the plains of death
Feening for a chance to liberate
You’re trying to live
The darkness consumes the light
You spill the blood
Repeat the downfalls
See the circle
Have you grown
Depression to Realization
Oh how this rooted tree once stood tall with the others

Final Act Before Death
05:42
|
|||
To see your eyes peel me apart
You stance of ignorance
Righteous in your own eyes
Pedestals of self design
We stand in a dance of old
The shifting plains of enmity
Where souls exude
To see the real man behind it all
Recall the pains you fought for
The strides and fear
The nights of pulsing visions
So illustrious
I can feel the sense of intimacy
In the gravest of times
The blanket that keeps me warm
despite the cold
Despite this overwhelming adversity
The chains around every limb
With little oxygen
To believe in preservation
To denounce your beating passion
To call on the aid of flesh
Shows you only see with eyes
The most treacherous of vices
Leading to ruin
