In the Face of Death
04:49
|

Die!
Waiting in silence on the gray wall
Smoke is rising, reckoning the fates' call
...Down
In the face of death I spit my last curse
As Greed twist's the knife, it's but the next verse
Bloodstains blacken the ground
Cursed flesh, paid by the pound
Die!
Die!
Just die!
By my hand you die
Doomed to fall as snakes in twists of death, we die
Back turned to the lie
To the lie!
Mandala, mark of the treacherous
Rain-soaked skin, echoes of nefarious...
...Ones!
...Of the nefarious ones!
Cold hangs the setting sun
We shall meet again, forms untold
If...I die...soon will these lines be retold
You will never stand in the light of grace
Buried in abject disgrace
Die!
Die!
Just die!
By my hand you die
Doomed to fall as snakes in twists of death, we die
Back turned to the lie
To the lie!
Time to pay the price
I welcome the blade
Path of vengeance laid
Bred to spiral, fatal flaw
Screaming in the maw
Turn your back on me, feel my knife
Last gasp of life
Eons of vengeance, prison of ignorance
Mournful gods' compliance
Feel my knife
Curse all life
Marks upon the skin burn with hate
Roads that we create
Makes upon the skin seal our fate
Doomed to conflagrate
We burn!
Turn your back on me, feel my knife
Hear your last gasp of life

Spawned in Sin
04:13
|
|||
Behind razor wire walls of silence
A hybrid call to violence
The whisper's call the last refuge of the destitute
Cycles of fear are foretold
Hear a bloody rage to behold
The blade's caress purified pain's last vicissitude
Cold, these walls conspire within
Within
Old, these forces are spawning in sin
In sin
Those words of torment are spoken as the demon's prayer
A scoundrel's incantation laying ancient secrets bare
Two forces bound in bloodshed
Now it's time to crush your fucking head
Here in this place beyond sight of the sun
Two are dealt down to one
Can't stop the sacred burning
Burn!
Here unspeakable acts
Where the viscera trails reveal darkened pacts
Feel my hands round your neck
The poison inject
A crimson wind infect
Watch the life drain from you
In your eyes death is imbued
Skin gone cold
Damnable grounds the darkness enfold
Bear witness to the horror
Lengthened by the grievous torture
Baptism of a tyrant
Born malignant of the silent...
Cold, these walls conspire within
Within
So deep inside live the forces that are spawning in sin
In sin
Spawned in sin
These walls are caving in
They fall
Concrete crashing, falling, crushing you all
You all
Crushing you all

Selling Short
04:41
|
|||
Deep anxiety must take blame as the catalyst for this tragedy
The fear of betrayal is the perfect reason
Childhood memories are weaker than such an intense greed
Unequal distribution is a fair exchange
Entombed deep within the heart lies a burning desire to kill
Desperate leaders without pride
Who dies? Who will decide?
No way to change his mind
“Old friend, I'll let your soul wander blind.”
The cold feeling of a gun, one on one, pushed against a brow
Time’s up
Insight right now, squeeze tight, fall down
Lights out, no doubt looks like justice
Blood across the floor
Unexpected
Hardly time to say goodbye to the world
One Desperado
The afterlife reverberates with the thundering of revenge
Deed is done
The power remains just with one
Greed is dead
Ironic murder
Greed is dead
Not the end
Life, death, what goes around, comes around
Life for a life, without redemption
There are dark reflections in an eternal souls
And each life is but a mirror
Satiates the minds that choose the path that causes pain and suffering
Yet leads back to perpetual anguish
The freedom to choose death based on a desire for blood
Lifelong friends torn apart by what one god doth will
The continuation of an endless cruel punishment
“You wanna fuckin’ die? I will shoot your fuckin’ head off!!”

The Darkness That Bleeds
04:02
|
|||
Speak...my...name
The anger that walks
A shadow creed
The fucking darkness that bleeds
Rank torture
Decades of mortal torment
State of blindness and pain
Violent intent, sadistic reign
Reeking of the foulness of this place I make it my own
Reprisals of self-inflicted wounds forever sewn
Journey into spaces of the bleak unknown
The bleak unknown
Unknown
Within the withering
A deception festers
Incessantly screaming
Rage uncoiled
Dead or dreaming of enemies despoiled
Cowards, fucking hypocrites
Flesh sliced to ragged slits
Hung to beg and die
Perverse pleasures, the moral derelicts
Raise a prayer, the dead man's curdled cry
Rise from the dead
Arise from the dread
In death's stead
In the echoes of voices in hell's wake
Sounds I crave
A plague's grim vision
Those too late to save
Thought that I would soon break
Steel bleeds what you take
What you fucking take
Taste the fear, the acrid burning
Breed the air of endless pain
From the blackness, a churning of damned souls
Drowning the rain
Cruelty without remorse
Despotic force

A Last Respite
02:44
|
|||
Here I lie a broken man
Haunted by thoughts of what I am
If I die today what words would pass
As my soul takes leave
Of cruelty or compassion
Of punishment, or reprieve
The sleeping beast of karma
Behold the broken sutra
Abyssal torment of the unknown
Strips my body of its essence
Breathe the stench of putrescence
Unknown legacies toil
Abandoned, decay, despoil
Redemption furtive in its last embrace
Disgrace
Changing face of a killer in a cold cell
An old man bound by his own hell
Redemption furtive in its last embrace
Flesh takes leave of mind
Reputation the last refuge of the willful blind
Thoughts unkind
Saints and tyrants, peace of death reminds
Of life, death reminds
Intrinsic anguish of the sight
Of one so cruel transformed in spite
Decades in darkness brought to light
Time's wrinkle smoothed, a last respite

Where Madness Reigns
05:06
|
|||
Shadows in the vale
Within the void looms a dark presence cold
A white light births palpitations
Opposing machinations doom foretold
Assembly of fate's creations
Darkness caress the sound of turning gears
A grinding of the sum, the Cerberus of all man's fears
Two beings born, apparitions, forces resigned
Blighting all sight, obscurantist force
A realm where madness reigns
This is where madness reigns
Out from the spine bursts dark entity's chains
The dagger drawn by the presence of pain
Unseen enemies
Bio-spiritual emanations
Dragged forth by incantations
War! Blood to shed for all time
For all time
Pain! Answering for false crimes
For false crimes
Trapped inside these walls
Time untold to crawl
Time abounds with secrets, the rites of hate
Choice of light left to levitate
Whispers of malice spoke without sound
Bidden the mind
Forward to kill, blood stains the ground
Their lives born entwined
Darkness caress the sound of turning gears
A grinding of the sum, the Cerberus of all man's fears
Two beings born, apparitions, forces resigned
Blighting all sight, obscurantist force
A realm where madness reigns
This is where madness reigns
Out from the spine bursts dark entity's chains
The dagger drawn by the presence of pain
Unseen enemies
Bio-spiritual emanations
Dragged forth by incantations
War! Blood to shed for all time
For all time
Blood to shed for all time
Blood to shed for all time

The Master’s Curse
04:13
|
|||
Draped in shadow
The master's curse
Invoked in verse
Mingled visions
Dark incisions
Pale before me lies my victim
Drained of life, a dictum
Is burned upon the chest
Strange this place, bereft
Thoughts turn paranoid
Infinity burns in the immortal void
Bend and break the forms of mortal...
Souls...
Flailing cold and damned
Reborn by the master's hand
Murder old as man
Trembling voice
Fail to withstand
The fate, no other choice
Will be done
Treacherous tale spun
Hatred, the war is won
Light, Mandala burned in the mind
Spite, steel of the blade, consciousness raised
Seeking the end, portend, symbols engraved
Bend and break my frail and mortal...
Soul, memories cold
Death retold
Dead before me lies the victim
Drains my life, a dictum
Inscribed upon us all forever
Foretold by the gods' daggers and chains
Waiting for signs of malfunction
Seizing chance for man's injunction
Soul, memories cold
Death retold
Now reaching the end, infinity's curse
New beginning descends
Enfold, in darkness embraced
Blank faced the
Enemy lingers in pain
Struggle in vain
Insane
Behold the fire of the incarnate curse
Light disperse

The Infinite Regress
03:53
|
|||
Mingled visions
The night's shadows grow longer
My dream's excisions
Grow ever stronger
In my mind I see
A face I've known before
Lights flashing
A body face down on the floor
Something lurks so familiar
Luminescence of your eyes
Urges are rising in
Darkest corners of the incised
Her cries
The symphony of madness
Lies
Despise
The whispers of darkened skies
Bleed
Bleed
Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale
Within something so cold and pale
Why?
A horrid soul
A tormented mass beyond hope
Deep in the hole
At the end of a rope
Beyond the years of one so young and so innocent
Your time has come, my dear
Hands so cold
Paths cross within death's fold
Body tossed down on the ground
Crumpled form motionless in a...
World so hollow, lifeless dead
Lost in creases of hungering dread
Trapped within my head
My head
My head
Unfolding a world birthing septs of malice
Words in wretched upon the walls of...
...Night
Your skin, eyes are lost in the vale
Within something so cold and pale
Suffering, set to explode, the infinite regress
Stumbling forward, a long delayed egress
Your time has come
As it shall, for us one and all
Once again the knot comes undone
A view of worlds in hiding
No more loom obscure
Compassion subsiding
Bleeding the pure
Bleed
You must bleed
Seven cycles of need
Chain and dagger's umbra
The god omnipotent
Must feed
Feed on suffering, cycling, smoldering, faltering mortals
Bleed, the altering, shimmering fleshly portals

Murder Made Dreams
03:30
|
|||
Murder made dreams
Infinite screams
I have seen the scars
Witnessed them etched in your flesh
Forever on your skin
Forever live in sin
Mandala, cosmic truth
The prison swallows the soul
Shadows of black and white
The harbingers of doom foretold
Doom foretold
Ordained in the light of vengeance
The curse of pride
Insidious dagger
A fate decried
Hanging from the chains of the past
Transcend reincarnation
Carry the burden of the last
Crushed by soul stagnation
The weight of worlds, of decrees that are not my own
A law written in blood, birthright from womb is sewn
Light of anahata
Written in the sutra
Piercing of the chakra
Freedom from samsara
Give me release from this burden
Bloodlines entwined across space and time
Bhavacakra, the cycle sublime, cycle sublime...
I have seen the scars
Witnessed them etched in your flesh
Forever on your skin
Forever live in sin
Mandala, cosmic truth,
The prison swallows the soul
Shadows of black and white
The harbingers of doom foretold
Doom foretold
Ordained in the light of vengeance
The curse of pride
Insidious dagger
A fate decried
Swinging from the gauge
The blade for the betrayer
A killing in my dreams
A death of the soothsayer
Light of anahata
Carved in living sutra
The piercing of the chakra
Banishment from samsara
