Shattering Vessels

A gaze in -trance links to infinity
A mutual -union in dissolution
Shedding one's self identity
Elemental fragmentation
Uncovering a universe in all directions
A removal of relativistic lensing
Revealing the abyss of no things
Expanding - diffuse into the boundless
ascension - merging with the amorphous
An arcane unmasking of illusion
In destroying the awareness of self
Acceptance in immersion of sorrow
A willingness to forget myself
Through apprehension of spiritual severance

Terminal Lucidity
02:25
|

|
Sleepless minds open my eyes to chaos
Perceptions lie voices come alive
Index of psychosis
Through dept of mind
breaching of sanity
Illuminating the other side
A revelation of mind the veil has been lifted
A mirror gaze reveals a lack of self
Vanishing features, transcendence of form
Dividing lines of reality dissolve into stasis
future of padded walls, I'm not fit for society
A façade of a world I thought I knew so well
My face framed, insane and unveiling hell

Exercises in Terror

Your portrayal of hatred
An ironic display of strength
Projecting detestation
Overcome by cowardice
Screaming at the mirror
Revealing the child inside
Crowned by the right to bear arms
Cowering and afraid of being harmed
Threatened by the unknown
Intimidated by the misunderstood
Outward view of the world in disarray
Generating the illusion, begotten peril and dismay

Impious Devotion
04:38
|
|||
|
Failing structures of mankind, an empire built from shit
Piling waste upon itself, a worthless throne sits on an endless pit
Through temples of worship, we idolize purity of a demigod
Delusion turns a blind eye to the hypocrisy of what we shun
Generations of ignorance propagate iniquitous breeds
Devotion of rights, portrayal of a sterile mind
Ingestion of profane through masks of the divine
Each step forward, is another fall behind
Ending up behind ourselves, unable to see, for we are blind
Generations of ignorance propagate iniquitous breeds
Our vertebrae withers away for it is created from decadence
Imprudence multiplies though a failure of humankind
A portrait of filth cloaked by halos of white
A display of conviction in silence of virtue

Futility and Lamentation
02:47
|
|||
|
Devaluation in view of intrinsic value
A triumph of meaninglessness and liberation
A Pervasive sense of dread
Absoluteness in lack of purpose
Eclipsing a world of reason
transcending perceptions of ethic virtue
Shattering presumptions of cosmic order
Repelling dogma revealing a blank slate
Personal conquest against
contradictions of a surrogate god
Sublimating products of decadence
Glorification of nothingness

Field of Reeds

Incarnation- concealing light
Transmutation- Shifting form
Meditation - Shedding of self
Contemplation- a return to stillness
Archetypes of twelve judgments
A prelude to throning of Osiris
Recollection - A remembrance
Purification- Ritual cleansing
Illumination- Divine union
Resurrection - spiritual rebirth
Indifference to tensions of opposites
Severance of attachments to form
Condemnation to non-existence by judgment
A self-devourment by imbalance of heart
Appetites of the flesh to not be overcome
Ascension to a crowning by the red sun

Enantiodromia
03:29
|
|||
|
the dark silhouette haunting me refuses to forget
abstract shapes devoted to the chasm of my mind
Shrouded reflections of obscured form never leave my side
A memoir of iniquity, the shadow never falls behind
A projection of denial Resembles my disowned self
A repression of the primal Resurrecting the hidden shell
Psychosomatic and formless A Disembodied self portrait
Archetypes of my subconscious Inside the buried and rejected
The yellow eyes follow me Through stygian landscapes
The outer disguise fails me, I'm only fooling myself
Through pervading abstract space, a reminder of a mirrored hell

Arrow of Entropy
03:58
|
|||
|
Through infinite nothingness
Hell rises through our eyes
We breathe the effluence
stench of rotten dreams
Tormented perennial vision
Reside inside fear vibrations
Obliterating mind and spirit
Myopic and malformed reality
A Rapid decline of everything, a spiral into singularity
Totality of nothing cascades from all angles
Disorder sweeps across aeons through time and space
Delivering absence of divinity
Entropy falls through heavens beyond
Perdition rising into repugnance
falling downward into the abyss
