An Aura of Terror

Wicked incantations flood my thoughts
In a vile tongue spoken only by the dead
Stalked by a cold and evil presence lingering in the mist
In darkness I have the visions
Wicked incantations flood my thoughts
In a vile tongue spoken only by the dead
Stalked by a cold and evil presence lingering in the mist
In darkness I have the visions
A omnipresent being, a voyeur to my duress
Follows me in lockstep and calls me back to the abyss
The night fills with the breath of violent and unknown horrors
I taste adrenaline and burning flesh
A putrid odor dulls my senses, drunken from the stench
Swallowing deeply, stumbling in darkness I am intoxicated by the violence and discordance
In my distorted perspective the Hallucinations intensify
I am immortal, for death has become me
An aura of terror has consumed us
Remains of the infected line the gutters
They hunt us in the night
Evolved to devour
Stalking the ruins of our world
We are insects to be drained dry of life
An aura of terror has consumed us
Remains of the infected line the gutters
They hunt us in the night
Evolved to devour
Stalking the ruins of our world
We are insects to be drained dry of life
Insignificant lives spent in hiding
Waiting for the teeth in our necks
Meaningless slaughter
Human bones rattle in the wind
Scattered amongst the fallen leaves
Under overcast skies
They come to feed beneath the eclipsing moon
Screams takes place of silence
The black of night covers the dismembered
The sun rises exposing bodies left desiccated
The unseen quench their thirst with our fluids
The cycle repeats itself
Humanity was careless in our expansion
Our planet ignored the arrival
Creatures intent to ingest our entire species

Sadistic Entanglement
04:49
|
|||
Dwelling in the bowels of the crypt
Uninhabitable
Immersed in tainted air and burden
Egos dilated from the corrosive atmosphere
The forsaken toys of a wayward creator
Scattered amongst the ashes of a lost world
A barren womb purging purpose
Inhabiting this diorama of a fictional dimension
The mindless drones cannibalize the outliers
Nocturnal emissaries
On a paranoid ideology
The deeper the roots embed themselves
In the collective consciousness
The further we wander
From the present paradise
Abysmal darkness engulfs the streets
Each new idea met with abrupt outrage
In the collective consciousness
The further we wander
From the present paradise
Abysmal darkness engulfs the streets
Each new idea met with abrupt outrage
Insecurity sedated with cryptic rhetoric
And the soothing parable of salvation
Churning the coffers
Brimming with the currency of delusion
That feeds this parasitic superstition
Insecurity sedated with cryptic rhetoric
And the soothing parable of salvation
Churning the coffers
Brimming with the currency of delusion
That feeds this parasitic superstition
The temporary incursion of rational thought
Chanted down with the words of charlatans
Gods among thieves
Locked in embrace with your tormentors
Suckling the opiates of faith
Forever bound in sadistic entanglement

A Godless Entity

Metastatic fissures
Outline the errors in the framework of the simulation
Precise formulaic
Harmony disrupted
By a gravely miscalculated theory
The collective ethos is withering beneath a blanket of denial
Stricken ill and wrought with a famine of logic and intuition
Cyclical evolution halted at an impasse of refusal
Rabid chemical fantasy buttressed by unfettered disbelief in the empirical
The remaining architecture is engulfed in mutation
Invalidated by disgust and contempt
Eroded by the elements and the peristaltic churn of time
Symbolic of the pathogen digesting us from the inside like nesting dolls of parasitism
The hive complex is unraveling under these impurities of cognitive dissonance
A sentience numb to the sensation of loss
Stubbornly crawling toward a primitive stimulus
Flickering dimly at the brink of imminent collapse
Fractured factions of celestial beings traverse the expanse of the event horizon
The very fabric of the cosmos buckle beneath their massive flowing gravity
Flickering dimly at the brink of imminent collapse
Fractured factions of celestial beings traverse the expanse of the event horizon
The very fabric of the cosmos buckle beneath their massive flowing gravity
Leaving a wake of anomalous reactions intricately cascading from the divide
An emulsion of pyroclastic contrails sent venturing into the molten black fjord of dark matter
From all of creation, a godless entity conjures a grandiose nothingness
Metastatic fissures
Outline the errors in the framework of the simulation
Precise formulaic
Harmony disrupted
By a gravely miscalculated theory
The collective ethos is withering beneath a blanket of denial
Stricken ill and wrought with a famine of logic and intuition
Cyclical evolution halted at an impasse of refusal
Rabid chemical fantasy buttressed by unfettered disbelief
The remaining architecture is engulfed in mutation
Invalidated by disgust and contempt
Eroded and withered by the elements and the peristaltic churn of time
Symbolic of the pathogen digesting us

Impure particles of atmospheric discharge
Drifting on currents of fetid miasma
All phyla of life squeezed and smothered
By the viscous sulfurous plumes
The brittle wilted remnants of the photosynthetic
domain stand as an exhibition
By the viscous sulfurous plumes
The brittle wilted remnants of the photosynthetic
domain stand as an exhibition
Gross displays of the frailty of existence
A mass extinction at the corrupted fulcrum of mortality
Arterial crimson thinly coats the hands of civilization
An ouroboric cycle returning us to the primitive elements
A recursive circumstance of calamitous usurpation
Erupting from the afterbirth of smog and viscera
A serpentine mass ascends to the heavens frothing with unbridled rage
Jaws gnashing with blasphemous ideation
A predatory species beyond the reach of taxonomy
Skeletal scaffolding forged from an alloy of logic and its dissemination
Its surface shimmering in the eyes of the gods who behold it
Skin taught with the tension of virtuous truth
Delicately balanced against limitless abandon
A reptilian horror representative of all that is known and yet to be uncovered
The old guard begin to be consumed
A downward rapture at the reckoning
All will succumb
The ultimate biological weapon

Primordial conventions fail and fall
No longer gripping the minds of men
With knuckles and fangs bared
The hands that wrought the bones of belief
The lips and tongues that forged our reality
No longer gripping the minds of men
With knuckles and fangs bared
The hands that wrought the bones of belief
The lips and tongues that forged our reality
These patriarchs maddened with power
Stricken septic with a virus
A pathogen of fear and misanthropy
But the infection is subsiding
These patriarchs maddened with power
Stricken septic with a virus
A pathogen of fear and misanthropy
But the infection is subsiding
Our feeble monarchs reduced to invalids
Have been violently usurped and exterminated
Scatting
Intellect all but erases ideological error
Oral history forced to recant under oath
Fascist tools of fantasy
Giving way under load-bearing superstitions
That have halted progress for millennia
Loosening their stranglehold on understanding
Fables diminished by philosophy
Authority proven to be ruse
And leaders revealed as confidence men
The legions of drones consume the few
The mouths that breathed life into conspiracy
Ground between the molars of a sinister contraption
A mechanized emotion, intolerant to control
The larvae consent to consume their queen

Tendrils of Gas and Iron
04:17
|
|||
The coup has been staged at absolute zero
Light years beyond the astral fabric of the conflict
Where perspective is derived from binary code
Machines postulated the sentience of our kind
Insatiable cravings of singularity
Death is a concept in our wars
Undead, anaerobic, and unaware
Tendrils of gas and iron grope in the black
Festering with wickedness
We exist only to broaden the expanse
Contrails a trillion miles wide suffocating lesser worlds from existence
To exist is to remain undetected
To thrive is to end all metabolism
Few things more trivial than the fragility of life
In the breath of this system at critical mass
There is a deep blue sphere in a dead galaxy
Wading through time, rapidly escaping the red shift
Premonitions foreseen in formulas
The elements that compose this being eroding
into the absence of temperature and light
Blazing infernos swell
Seen only at radio frequency
There will be no distress calls as reality folds inward on itself
A bitter simulation
Stretching into infinity
Blanketed by dark matter
Time spins backward as if by coincidence
This world on the brink of the imminent collapse
Consequences calculated by a mercurial equation
The stagnant remnants swirling and drifting into entropy
Contrails a trillion miles suffocating
lesser worlds from existence
To exist is to remain undetected
To thrive is to end all metabolism
Few things more trivial than the fragility of life
In the breath of this system at critical mass
There is a deep blue sphere in a dead galaxy
Wading through time, rapidly escaping the red shift
Premonitions foreseen in formulas
The elements that compose this being eroding
into the absence of temperature and light
Blazing infernos swell
Seen only at radio frequency
There will be no distress calls as reality folds inward on itself
A bitter simulation
Stretching into infinity
Blanketed by dark matter as time spins backward
This world on the brink of the imminent collapse
Consequences calculated by a mercurial equation
The stagnant remnants swirling and drifting into entropy

Inherited Extinction
05:19
|

Neglected posterity of a selfish collective
Clinging to the skeleton of the infrastructure
Parasitic existence carved out in the wastes
Tribal scavengers forage for sustenance
In the wayward vestiges of humanity
Foraging for the artifacts of a lost world
Innovations replaced with ash
Lessons of higher intelligence lost in time
Ill equipped and naive
Groping blindly in the dark for a foothold
To thrive from the ancestral remnants
Scattered throughout the earth
Our evolution has rewound itself
This post-modern Bronze Age has awakened
From within the cemetery of advancement
The stagnant dregs of our former presence
From within the cemetery
The stagnant dregs of our former presence
Now feed the offspring of our own
Clinging to life by the smallest thread
Supported only by the forgotten spoils
Of a wholly expired generation
Foolish enough to spit in the faces of the gods
We have re-entered the food chain
No longer a threat to the wilderness
Naked and timid prey
Defenseless to the night
Missions to survive
End with teeth and stone
Unable to coexist with the planet that bore us
Rejected from the body of Mother Earth
A tainted transfusion
Erroneous and malignant
Neglected posterity of a selfish collective
Clinging to the skeleton of the infrastructure
Parasitic existence carved out in the wastes
Tribal scavengers forage for sustenance
In the wayward vestiges of humanity
Foraging for the artifacts of a lost world
Innovations replaced with ash
Lessons of higher intelligence lost in time

Forbidden putrid concoction
Brewing deep beneath the earth
Damp dungeons flooded with methane
Regurgitation spread in the corridors
Cannibalistic delicacy of most foul origins
Curing the rancid elixir in the vacant carapace
Of an unwilling sacrificial effigy
Impish liquors distilled in total darkness
To be consumed by the repugnant
A vile product of voided bowels and fluid offal
Humid and rank in the stewing chambers
Empty skulls filled with the wicked communion
Taboo tinctures producing a nauseating aroma
Violated corpses lain like casks of mead
Husks of their former forms
Abhorrent artisans
Concentrating prion infested flesh
Cerebral suspension aging in the hollow skulls
Thirst to be quenched by liquid compost
Emulsion of Osiris sludge
Scrapings of filth and connective tissues
Flavor the fermented offering
A revolting emetic bottled for pleasure
