Dualism
Watching all the devils blood and breath
The one decision is all yours
Smeared out on the floor
Nailed to the wall
Hopeless is the dream
Subversive parasite
I have cages below me
Confined deep inside me
And my hands are red from trying
To embrace the love you gave
You beg for my attention
With your cold ancient breath
I breathe the cold
And face cleansing once again
I’m hailing all the devils
Forgotten and forlorn
I’m hailing all the beautiful
I’m hailing all the devils
Unfathomed and profound
I’m hailing all the beautiful
Thoughts can do more damage
So blood must not follow routine
Benevolent and malevolent
Expanding empirical knowledge
The great dispute of the truth
Of either good or ungood
Dualism
No conflict
No absolute consciousness
No absolute truth

Homage to a dying world

Hommage of a dying world
I curse you all without eyes to see
A gospel to the masses of an idiocracy
Damned from here to eternity
A comprising predictions
So damn you all who slumbers in the wake
Who only see what’s gracious
The degrading limbo of freeze
So ludicrous and small
And from their mouths came a whispering silence
Unheard without signs to oppose
Inside out turned their differing views
And was reduced to ash
And was reduced to ash
Back into nothingness
From where they came
Oh, God are you inside of me?
Are you above me?
Are you below me?
I saw the light, I saw the signs
Of these portents so clear
A brief moment of clarity
A homage to a dying world
All was buried under rubble and dust
The collapse of empires
Our decline foretold the death of kings
While the fools remained chanting
While the fools remained chanting
Contra mundum
The flesh is weak

Nest of Vipers
No one will be left alive
No one will be left unhurt
So never wander of into your thoughts
There is always the slithering snakes
Keep their prying eyes out
Try to tread your steps silently
All that is false
Only poisoned guilt
All will be gone
So we destroy what they built
In the nest of vipers
We’re fed to the lions
In the midst of all the filth we crawl
Invested with a sense of purpose
Credit an all-seeing eye
Destroy what is false - Destroy what they built
What spirit of envy can never rebuild
So never wander of into your thoughts
There is always the slithering snakes
Their prying eyes, their sinister sneer
Keep a close watch, take heed of yourself

Sights of woe

Sights of Woe
The voice of wisdom, inevitably clear
Sung by the fallen from grace
I, descendent of the might
I am yours forever
Let the burning ritual begin
Behold the soul of man
Trapped in the bottomless regions
There to dwell admidst the worms
Chained to their poles
From God to men the way is short
I judge thee perverse
So rest your weary bones beside
The fire and last forevermore
Sights of woe
A craving of the flesh we don't understand
Acedia, rejection of grace
Invidia, others deprive
Ira, inordinately and uncontrolled
Luxuria, Avaritia, Gula, Superbia
The harbinger of death upon us
And the Sinner and the shadows of death
The sun has fallen, burnt form its canvas
With a scent of spiritual death
The sights of woe
And the drawing of the flesh
Unveiled its retribution of penal fire reborn
A curse for men to swallow their pride
Indulge the sins and mourn
Since misery loves company there’s no holding back
The time is short but the fire still burns
The blood is till red but the wounds are still open

The defiant pupil

The Defiant Pupil
With all the gold in the world you can chose your form of suffering
Blindly we’re fueling their scheme and oiling their machinery
From beginning to the end we’re slaves in their system
A fit selection for the new way, a new breed
The defiant pupils rising
From the ashes of their ignorance now revised
When their castles made of sand collapse
and the dust will be the serpents meat
Our time has come
Our time has come
Like the hungry wolf feed on its prey we’re devoured by our innocence
A brainwashed world in a leash restrained
Still not afraid? Still uncertain?
By the flash of the blade their final curtain
Now our time has come!
Don’t call us cowards, don’t call us weak
No empty shell you can throw as you please
Don’t say we lack the fire, the whip is obsolete
Sooner than you know you’ll be crawling on your knees

These Scars
Look at these scars on my skin they are memories of my previous sins
But the bad taste on my lips of rotten decay surreal
Judging me by the things I do and as the things I say would be inferior
Your kind is despicable, so vile, so low
Beyond the boundaries of normality lies seclusion
Enter the sadness, enter depression, enter the world and heal
You're using reasoning to figure what is what
While reality is mentally constructed
Wrong ideas of an ideal state are simply produced by fear
Try to wash away the pain while the stains still there
There is no god
So look at these scars on my skin they are memories of my previous sins
But the bad taste on my lips of rotten decay surreal - but it is so real
Careful with the words you choose or suffocate beneath pain
I've learned it feels a lot like a stab wound to the heart

Who will crown the king

Who will crown the king
Let them all rebel from expected ways of reason
Let them all rise up as a fundamental one
Fanatic embrace of fundamentalism
An answer to the call from God
They’re subjugating - their art of conquering the meek
And feed them to the wolves, oh so grotesque
They’re invoking the flaming rage that extol our perfection
Our virtue at its highest peek -
We cast the spells and slowly awake
And let the waters spawn the reptiles
So the sinner has spoken
His words of violent death
This is his only trick
That death will dissolve
So who will crown the king
Who will crown the king
This sinner, this liar
with words of gold wrapped in fire
A gentle embrace that holds for ever
But subtly leaves the mark of cain
Where is your mark?
Where is your love?
I, the sinner has spoken
These words of violent death
This is my only trick
That death will dissolve
So who will crown the king
Who will crown the king
I am the sinner, I am the liar
But my words are gold wrapped in fire

Sleep
There is no future
No antidote nor salvation
Here in this promised land coercion is the game
In the hands of the few
Lies control of our faith
Third-rate meaning feed us straight
While the medication mitigates
Sleep now, sleep!
Under a watchful eye
Sleep now, sleep!
Suppress your doubt
Sleep now, sleep!
Your father tends his sheep
Sleep now, sleep!
Embrace the agents, breath deep
There is no future
No antidote nor salvation
Here in this promised land coercion is the game
They play
Silent angel blind without eyes to see
But you still hear the world
The world, the words
Acceptance of new beliefs
Without chance to evaluate
Removing individuality
by demanding conformity
This is their future
This is the their throne

White light

White Light
White light shines through me
As I suffer this golden boy
Like red burning sulphur from the face of the sun -
A sparkling blaze, corroding fire
So watch me now as the light in the black
Fear me now, picture my pain
Touch my face and see my name and catch fire
He whom Thunder hath made greater
With a mindset extreme
One idea of a final solution
To overcome when all else has failed
The devils plan is all about ambition
A masterplan plan to rule it all
Children cries unheard
While they're wiping out their souls
With godlike shapes and forms
Effigy of ethereal temper
As they spread their wings their shadow consumes the light
All our prayers, all our tears, all the cries we hear
They catch fire coz everything burns
They catch fire, everything burns
Completely covered in dust from all that we lost
When the dark soul died
Still we worship the god we made
All once pure now faded grey
