The Sin of Doubt
05:49
|
|||
|
Mantra, within / without
Born of suffocating doubt
Holding onto ruin as my mind gives out
Deify the undertow
Ruthless pull of seeds still unsown
No longer set in stone
Permanence will shatter as I march
It never fades
The scars in my skin, still harbouring the pain
A lifetime enslaved for a taste of deliverance
My broken sense of devotion wanes
I bear the blisters of my loyalty
I’ve never wavered, but faith still recedes
So cracked and jaded but I hide the strain
My fading grip on this expired dream
My broken sense of devotion wanes
Beneath the strain
Inch by tortured inch I fucking march
Deathless, but locked in place
Catatonic waste of space
Terminal subservience to my mistakes
Crucify the unrefined, hopelessly dissatisfied
On the brink but paralysed
No catalyst left static as I march
To kill the inertia crystallising in my veins
The plague of stasis / it never fades
The scars in my skin, still harbouring the pain
A lifetime enslaved for a taste of deliverance
March, to kill the inertia crystallising in my veins
The plague of stasis / into decay
Return to dust, unbridled by these shallow graves
I march through hatred
My broken sense of devotion wanes
Beneath the strain
Crushed by my failing resistance
Caught in the vice of my epitomes
Can't fucking tolerate the guilt of reprieve
Shadows of closure hang over me
The taunting whispers of nihility
Betray the light, return to blindness
It's only broken hope
Retrace the lines that lead to violence
And claim the hatred I invoke
Betray the light, return to blindness
The only path I’ve ever known
Content to nest among the spineless
In the torment I belong
My broken sense of devotion wanes
Beneath the strain
Inch by tortured inch I fucking march
A lifetime enslaved for a taste of deliverance
No longer set in stone, permanence will shatter as I
Fall from grace
My broken sense of devotion wanes
Beneath the strain
Inch by tortured inch I fucking march

Parasitic
04:57
|
|||
|
Cold, cancerous bones
Buckle beneath my poisoned resolve
These leeches corrupting every intent
Torn into fragments / volatile
In filth I will be found
In suffocating silence, malice resounds
This seething reticence, like blood from stone
Corrupting every intent
Preying on life, pulling me down
Control dissolves
Exposed, by the demons that I oppose
Sick, swollen with spite
Leaking from every pore
My blistered existence
Tortured by self-afflicted remorse
In filth I will be found
Immortalised in violence
Burnt to the ground
My blistered existence held by a thread
Burnt to the ground
Control dissolves
Exposed, by the demons I oppose
My soul corrodes
Below all the fading lines that I impose
The venom drips from open wounds
Only festering fragments remain
This parasitic bitterness breeds
My terminal state of decay
Beneath the fabric of false composure I break
Prey to my own disdain
The slowly decomposing hatred I bare
Pulled through corrupted veins
All I am falls away / my disintegrating self
Inside my blackened soul, this parasite grows
Morphing my humanity
Annihilation spreads its vengeful curse
Consuming all of me
My minds been pulled apart but I can't let go
All I am falls away
All I am, pulled through corrupted veins
Control dissolves
Exposed, by the demons I oppose
My soul corrodes
Below all the fading lines that I impose
Cold, cancerous bones
Buckle beneath my poisoned resolve
My blistered existence tattered and torn
Like blood from stone

Guiltless
04:58
|
|||
|
My mortal coil, cut from ancient stone
If I was built for violence
Then why the fuck would I atone
My gods are dead
Their hatred lingers in my bones
If my contempt is only human
Then why the fuck would I atone
Born into bloodshed
Carrying the cross of sordid human clay
Baptized in hatred
Inherit all the sins that can't be washed away
Revel in infamy
Consequences dead to me
Bled of all my empathy
Cause I'm out of touch, out of line and sick of this shit
I tear myself open and drench your
Picture perfect piety in black venomous hate
Such primal bloodlust
Waiting in the wings of your morality
Praying for vengeance behind a veil of sympathy
Mouthpiece for vitriol
Mourning the lost control
Integrity bought and sold for stolen selflessness
My gods are dead
Their hatred lives on in my skin
My mind was built for violence
No sign of sympathy within
My lost humanity calls to me
Come, drink from my blood
Share in my vengeance
Come, tear at my flesh
Feast on my hate/feast on my pain
Dead to the world
The channels of deliverance
Will overflow with blood
My mortal coil, cut from ancient stone
This mind was built for bloodshed
Evolved for murderous return
Each with their hands in the guilt of all
The sacred ground, on which I stand
Soaked in the blood of the denounced
The sons of man
Whose broken bones lay at the feet
Of all I am
Each hand in the guilt of all
Blood red and reeling
Dead to the world
My mortal coil, cut from ancient stone
If I was built for violence
Then why the fuck would I atone
Dead to the world

Anima
04:42
|

|
Shed like a skin
Outgrown and obsolete
The septic flesh of a phantom limb
My fucking virtue defiled
Impulse insistent
Bastardised
Fractured within
Sordid and pulled apart
My masochistic betrayal of need
Distorted mind
Tortured temptation
Crucified
(Alive)
A lust for guilt, a hatred of hope
The surfacing sickness of faith
Plagued by despair
The self-denying prayer
Forever dead on my tongue
Shed like a skin
Torn like a stillborn cord
As the pain cuts too close to the bone
Disdain bears down on me
It's calling to me
I tear the eyes out of my kill
That static stare that haunts me still
(Alive inside me)
I tear the eyes out of my kill
Marked by the violence I reveal within me still
The self denying prayer
Forever dead on my tongue
Shed like a skin
Torn like a stillborn cord
As the pain cuts too close to the bone
A lust for guilt, a hatred of hope
The surfacing sickness of faith
A plea for pain, a dream of decay
My murderous worship of hate
(Alive)
Disdain bares down on me
Can't shake this atrophy
My mortal disrepair
It echoes through me
I tear the eyes out of my kill
That static stare that haunts me still
(Alive inside me)
I tear the eyes out of my kill
Marked by the violence I reveal within me still
(I've lost my way)

War of Opposites
04:24
|

|
I walk the path
Between two worlds
That heave and roll and pitch
Like ships, between worlds
I fucking pull at the fraying ends
Of a mind at constant war
With a hunger for change
We won't make a sound
We're burning alive
Another day, another regret
A single taste of the solace I crave
A fucking waste
Chaotically in love with the pain
It never rests
Uncoiling and contorting again
Until it worms its way within
With broken hands, I'll carry the cost
Forever in search of the progress I've lost
No penance paid, no promises made
This circling burden I take to the grave
We won't make a sound
We're burning alive
I'll never heal the scars I hide
Inside
All the hate I feel I force inside
Again
Defy, to spite the divine
With no remorse, I continue to bleed
Beneath the tide
Depleted but completely compelled
Without a sign
Of ever being hopeless enough
To walk across that fucking line
With bloody hands, I carry the curse
All semblance of reason broken and burnt
A metaphor for the hell I endure
Corrupted to the core
I hoped for so much more
I defy
The strain
Echoing so far away
Echoing so far away
We won't make a sound
We're all burning alive
All the hate I feel I force inside
Again
I walk the path
Between two worlds
That heave and roll and pitch
Like ships, between worlds
I fucking pull at the fraying ends
Of a mind at constant war
With a hunger for change

Vilified
04:33
|
|||
|
I'll take one final breath
Fall into disconnect
Unborn and undone
I begin from nil
Blamed for every stain
My soiled conscience and my
Vile and tainted name
Not one regret for my intent
Refuse to repent
I'll never fucking change
Content to revel in my
Self inflicted shame
I've found solace in a burning world
Mock the echoes of a distant plea
Above redemption or beneath contempt
It's all the same to me
One final step
Consumed by my contempt
Tried and trialled
But no god or man can take what's mine
I've been dissected, infected
Cast off and vilified
Blood thirsty wolf among sheep
I break the bones of the weak
Fuck you all
I am hell
The severed sanctity of light
Hollowed out inside
I prevail
Unborn and undefined
Prophetic and dead to you
I'm dead to you
I've etched myself
Into the folklore of these lands
I'm becoming immortalised
I've been dragged back
Through the failures and fallacies
Immortalised in pious eyes
Sheltered behind the same sad platitudes
That justify a prying mind
Speak my name as a symbol of animus
And a token of misguided spite
You can slaughter the scapegoat
But I'll be there inside you
When you close your eyes
I am hell
The severed sanctity of light
Hollowed out inside
I prevail
Unborn and undefined
Prophetic and dead to you
I'm dead to you
I've etched myself
Into the folklore of these lands
I'm becoming immortalised
I want it all / I'm dead to you

I felt the waters wrap around me
A drop lost in a raging sea
I lost my grip amongst the vastness
I swear I felt myself die
Pushed away on mammoth waves
Scaling the dunes of these watery graves
Horizon melts around me like frost
Time and direction lost
An ever-changing coastline
Eroded
By the battering ram of time
Harbours countless nameless vessels
Lost and timeless shells
I'm alive but I can't feel the passing of days
The compass spins, left adrift in a ceaseless haze
A stone skimming through the vastness
Drifting through the darkness
Poseidon's vengeful gaze
Sun and moon collide in space
The hands of the clock drift away from its face
Days and nights leak through swollen planks
I pray that this vessel lasts
Paralysed in a storm
Dissolving
To a sinking decaying form
In the shadows of smouldering giants
Roaring defiance
I'm alive but I can't feel the passing of days
The compass spins, left adrift in a ceaseless haze
A stone skimming through the vastness
Drifting through the darkness
Poseidon's vengeful gaze
I've lost count of the days
The hell I've found
The world cycles in a matter of days
Time comes unwound
My mind buried beneath the waves
As grains of sand
Proliferate in an hourglass
Only consistency's my shadow on the waves
And this errant sense of motionless
The fulcrum point is lost
The ticking never stops
Upon these distant shores of sinking sanity
Lives lost in this timeless void
The sun never sets
It only drifts away
Past, present and future ripped apart
Like a sail in billowing winds
The ocean parts to reveal the creatures
That elude me from within
The world is alien
So unfamiliar
As it turns from black to grey
No refuge in sight in this desert of tides
I've lost count of the days
I felt the waters wrap around me
A drop lost in a raging sea
I lost my grip amongst the vastness
I swear I felt myself die

Eradication:One
05:05
|
|||
|
Thrown, flesh from bone
Into a spiral of mercurial return
So far below, searching for anything
To rectify the seeds I've sown
Caught in the complex
Torn from subtext
Pure material
Confined to my archaic human shell
By the fear that haunts us all
Pulled into place by the elements
Circling the core
Give in to free fall / nothing more
Crawled here to die, in the embers of all that I've
Sacrificed for nothing
I fall away, below the surface to a place inside myself
A single moment at the brink of collapse
Dissolve to dust
I, will fall from the height of my pride
I, will crawl to the depths of my mind
I, will kill all the fading remains
Of my broken humanity
Sum of a primal mistake
I'll swallow the smoke and
Eradicate myself to clear this slate
Let me die
Resurfacing
For any penance that'll liberate what's left
All hope dissolving
As the borders of my mind begin to slip
Beckon the end
The missing pieces of the clarity I crave
Beckon the end
A single moment at the brink of collapse
I breathe it in
I, will fall from the height of my pride
I, will crawl to the depths of my mind
I, will kill all the fading remains
Of my broken humanity
Sum of a primal mistake
I'll swallow the smoke and
Eradicate myself to clear this slate
Let me die
Beckon the end
I crawl away as my mind begins to slip
Purge the sickness from my mind
Thrown, flesh from bone
Into a spiral of mercurial return
So far below, searching for anything
To rectify the seeds I've sown
Caught in the complex
Torn from subtext
Pure material
Confined to my archaic shell
By the fear that haunts us all

Sacrosanct
06:42
|
|||
|
A glint of God, eclipsed
The burden of hope
That still inflicts this torturous toll
Beneath my skin
All sanctity spent on spite and sin
These visions burn behind my eyes
Incisions blur the line between
Diseased and saved, for what
The promise of peace, erased and forgotten
Lost in the light that lures the sick
From moment to moment with vile deceit
These patterns ripple through my mind
Still further I fall, forever denied
My mind undone
I die into myself
The sinking sun
A single flicker of faith that still remains
My useless and crucified figure of eight
Relapse into toil, again restart
The deepest incisions leave such loyal scars
This promise buried in my skin
But with bloody nails, I find only sin
Don't let me fail
My mind undone
I die into myself
The sinking sun
Recedes to none
My mind so frail / I'm buried with the sins
This slow betrayal / carved in my jaded skin
I've seen redemption in your eyes / I die into myself
Broken by the sacrifice
Behind the walls that conceal my agony
Plagued by the voices of the flaws I pray recede
Decimate my mind
Repress the malice one final futile time
And destroy what's left behind
I crawl my way back to the precipice once more
Blood-soaked and broken
My mind comes undone
As this slowly sinking sun
Recedes to none
These patterns ripple through my mind
Still further I fall, forever denied
My mind so frail / I'm buried with the sins
This slow betrayal / carved in my jaded skin
I've seen redemption in your eyes / I die into myself
Broken by the sacrifice
Disease recedes
(Don't let me fail)
