Sobriety Is Overrated

Plant a seed into an, open scar
Turn into, something, beautiful
Hold it up to eternity
Find virtues hidden in the leaves
Light the pitch to see through the dark
Move quickly, it won’t carry far
Break the tether, imbue the sun
To grasp for some clarity of mind
The subdued fist
Just for the sake of it
Tired of waiting
A shared existence links everything ~
It’s all so cavalier
Deprived of thought
Bleeding the lines
Dividing reality
Breathe in the dirt, its caustic
The scathing silence is deafening
Living a life (lie), through the untold
A lull, break into a run
Wait to wake up and disappear
Misshapen and wretched you preach
The pendulum shifts
Causing existence to blink, and fold
Sing to its memory
Eroding ties of dust
Fuelling the cyclical
Sweeping the tome
Lifting a hand up~
The match is struck, now here we are
Blood on your hands and your face
You’ve been here before
Endured
Peeling the life away
They hold out their hands, you don’t care
You block the light, demand that they crawl
Laying awake in the folds
You wait on the world
A weight on your soul
What are you looking for in life.
Wait for the seasons to sing
To unveil the secrets they bring
A beautiful truth, felled from up above
The pendulum swings
Taking as much as it brings
Furrowed
Carved deep to snuff out the stars
The litany everlasting, so~
Why are you waiting on the world
Confront the metaphysical
The blood from your head knots your hair~
You’ve been here before
Echoed, testament to what we endure
We try to hang on to dust
The faceless however are looking on
Cast a spiteful eye from your perch as you preach
The subdued fist
Just for the sake of it
Tired of waiting
Defy the surreal, with bone
May the possessed bear witness
To loss of control over their world
Fly so high now here we are
Blood on your hands and your face
You’ve been here before
A lone, testament to what you en….
Trying to hang on to nothing
Determined hang on to something
The blood is quickening
Tower above as you preach
Two become one, rot has undone
Nurture the eclipse that that shall blot out the sun
A self righteous destruction
To blight this curse we must abhor
The lonely world
Snapped and torn now here we are
Why? It’s not so difficult
Flee, take flight away from here
Forget all that you have seen
What have you done and just what are you looking for in life
Sobriety’s overrated.

Satan

Girls and boys come gather round and accept my love
Upon the pain of death
For to doubt my manifest benevolence
Will cost you your last breath
On my throne, beyond all question
To doubt me is heresy
Your soul is, seduced by Satan
You’ll doom us all
All my greed, my jealousy, my fraudulent hypocrisy
Yet you are the enemy
All my greed, my jealousy, my fraudulent hypocrisy
Yet you are the enemy
Share with me the dreams you’ve made, l will demonstrate
How it’s all relative
Let me take your fears away, it will earn you the
Nothing I have to give
On my throne, beyond all reason
Breathing in suffering
You smell of counter revolution
Among us now
All my greed, my jealousy, my fraudulent hypocrisy
Yet you are the enemy
All my greed, my jealousy, my fraudulent hypocrisy
Yet you are the enemy

When that feeling sinks in
And the world dreams of the dead
I know you’re here aren’t you
My quiet friend
Calling from water’s edge
You dig deep but can’t pretend
Take a step out into the cold
They’re waiting there
You perceive this a miracle
And soon…
Hold it down while I bring it up
These count our afflictions
And how long must we wait here
In stagnant air
Chasing that dream you crave
Counting our past mistakes
And with that mass of thorns and hair
Become aware
Waves pass through fading rays of sunlight
You know this house is not your home
Stay awake for the devils moon rise
You hear the static speak your name
You perceive this a miracle, or something spiritual-
While it’s so obscene
Pave the way, it’s not difficult
Naturally opening
Voids that seem so umbilical, yet almost spherical
Drawing you in
…Like drums, waking up.
They no longer dream
Praise the dawn, turned to lack there of
As a shiver crawls, urging you to wake up
Curse the sun, and all that rely on
Such a simple cause
Beware, there is truth in this.
The past and long since dead
Splintered horns beset
On the last remnant to walk in confidence
Hallowed bone, marking the place
But you notice a moment too late
Its coming up behind you
Falling down, grasp a ledge or drown
Fingers sprawl, consecrating this burial
Hallowed ground. Blinding grace
Promoting the faith as the old ones awake
Falling down, catch a ledge or drown
Fingers sprawl, consecrating this burial
Hallowed ground. Blinding grace
Promoting the faith as the old ones awake
Waves pass through fading rays of sunlight
You know this house is not your home
Lay in wait for the devil’s moon rise
You hear the static speak your name
You perceive this a miracle, or something spiritual-
While it’s so obscene
Pave the way, it’s not difficult
Naturally, opening
Voids that seem so umbilical, remain unseen
Drawing…
What you perceive is no miracle, it’s something visceral
Calling out to thee
Pave the stage of a ritual, its unconditional
Lured effortlessly
Break away from the physical, the only visible
Option of release
Ripples churn- almost mystical
A silhouette gathering.

It’s unconceivable yet, still so believable
If I could see in duress, it’s time to let go
It’s all so easy to leave, but where would give you shelter
Why don’t you come and rest those, bones with me
Set the world to the side, if I could make a request-
Catch your breath…yet…. Still somewhat difficult
It’s getting hard to control, but with some heart and some soul
The leg is crooked, it’s not your fault
By a leading cut
running it down, spreading you open
Adding a lever control, it’s almost over
Could go much further though
Insert a servo to sway to and fro
Letting you know how much I love it all
A jump start to your heart
logging it down, adjusting for sound
Checking the vitals are rounded and…come on-
Clear the clouds and sparks
Light is fading as day slips to night, as the life returns with every…..
A glass rod to dislodge the abscess
With my obsession beset
Upon a shimmering diamond thermal scalpel-
Saw through your chest, remove the decaying flesh
Call me conceited but I think this is a, tour de force
Perception shapes who we are
An awkward crucible that’s hard to perceive
See? ….A touch of irony
Perhaps it’s all too complex, to sit and simply dissect
Can always put it to the test
By a leading cut
running it down, spreading you open
Adding a lever control, it’s almost over
Could go much further though
Insert a servo to sway to and fro
Letting you know how much I love it all
A jump start to your heart
logging it down, adjusting for sound
Checking the vitals are rounded and…come on down
Clear the clouds and sparks
Light is fading as day slips to night, as the life returns with every stitch
If I could get more time, I could get more life
I only live for you, my monster in a tube
Making it alone… You know its on…
A life without you, what will I do
Don’t you go saying its over
So far from home
But you’re out of life, out of time
Dissection is delectable
I hope they have a dress in my size
Stray from me
As you fade into the night
Run away
But you’re running out of time
Running out of life
Two bodies are down that I can think of
There’s thieving and stealing from grieving-
They don’t count, and I leave to the cults
Cheap thrills that led to violent fits and death throws
Assembled together by beautiful scars, a patchwork of electrodes-
It starts all o… Again… It starts again… Starts all o…. Again
Its not maniacal, I’m just trying to
Get some body to love and maybe listen to me-
Again and again and again
Despite of all that I have done, through all the anguish and blood
Sisyphus again

Eye of the storm
The wait goes on, -time wasted
Let frustration gnaw and weave dark unknowns
Take the long way down
Cry havoc, aghast and in disbelief
Blood and bones
Take an oath to silence, don’t be proud
It will erode with time as your steps cover ground
Let the whole world fall, just go down screaming
See straight through the shroud, at least the one you know
Above the rupturing clouds become a portal
A theatrical prize for the souls outside
Who have yet to figure it out
…The crows circle above
A reforged understanding that has forced you to wake up
The images of chaos, sear deep into your eyes
Amidst so many fallen, sends a shiver down the spine
Survive or die
We survive
Look in these eyes, you live when we…
Clarion calls
It brings the cold, don’t stutter
It’s hell in its eyes you see
It won't be long, -space shudders
Wake to perceive these
Argent halls sprawl forth
Containing a living catastrophe
Soon these stones shall fall
And with them, the binds of reality
This is something real, It answers to you
Playing on your fear
Subjective fealty hanging overhead
Don’t falter, it’s taking enough to be
Standing soul in hand
Let it endure you
This is something real, It answers to you
Playing on your fear
Subjective fealty hanging overhead
Don’t falter, it’s taking enough to be
Standing soul in hand
Let it endure
The blessed horn is sounding, the crows circle above
A reforged understanding that has forced you to wake up
The images of chaos, sear deep into your eyes
Amidst so many fallen, sends a shiver down the spine
Survive or die
We survive
Look in these eyes, you live when we die
~The blessed seven sons
…it won’t be long

The night brings a longing, hard to conceive
What’s on the other side waiting for me
It's been a long time coming, don't make me plead
Your words paint a new horizon but I can’t leave
The light is growing dim
Keep away… You might just catch a glimpse
Clutch at my chest, I’m straining to see
Blood is burning in my veins, I'm struggling to breathe
Oh please my sweet darling, I don't know what is happening
If I can make it through to morning, will you concede
…It's all the same. Allow me to demonstrate
A moment can be only so long, or can outlast the life of a sun
…And I find it haunting that that's all we have to give
Is that all you have to say? Oh why is this happening to…
It's no surprise so here we are, no fancy cars or caviar
Just an echo of a memory staring right back at me
A verse of angels sing along and I find it hard to believe-
All those moments I spent with those same old…
Lost upon the silent sea, (Cross the seas)
Standing on the precipice again (Of haunting dreams)
The world around you gone (Unfurl the flag)
Tell me, do you understand (Of man)
…The air tears at the seams (Witness as the air tears at the seams)
Your vision blends with sound (Vision clouds)
Try to keep up if you can (But senses take)
Don’t think of where your steps lead (Your lead)
Chase the trail that’s lit by sparks (Chase the trail that’s lit by sparks)
With universe in hand (With universe in hand)
Understand all that has come to be, to infinity, to insanity
It's standing in front of me and my fractured reality
A voice of Angels sing along and I find it hard to believe
I spend my last moments, with those same old…
When you close your eyes, is it hell you see
Is it truth before you, or a fractured reality
When it is your time I will come here and take you to this place
And you will fear me, it will be your everything to resist this

Taken from the place we were meant to be
From a contorted future
Partake in the fruit of eternity
You have come this far
Stand before the fallen host
The putrid, writhing sea
Will you accept its over
Or will you take a knee and lead
Pick up the banner of woe. Sow your seeds
Close your eyes, forsake your soul
Awake to call on
A lichter's throne
Begone!
Forsake the seven sons
No more stalling, prolonging
Run. Run. Run
From the things of make believe
To the deepest depths of dreams
No more stalling, keep crawling
For you shall forfeit your soul
With light I bring you see
Welcome home.
You stand among us, we are brothers
But we covet
More to keep the hunger sated
It has consumed leagues
The feeble shield of disbelief, is only met with glee
The patriarch of filth and lies. A heraldry of deceit
Where most have vowed to serve redemptions leash
I can see the picking is ripe
So feast!
Under the banner of woe
Sow your seeds
Close your eyes, forsake your soul
Awake to call on
A lichter's throne
Begone!
Forsake the seven sons
No more stalling, prolonging
Run. Run. -Now you suffer!
From the things of make believe
To the deepest depths of dreams
Bathe your mind in agony
For the things that are to come
Rise!
Blessed by fears in mortals eyes
The patron saint of tragedy
With flesh stitched to the bones
A living throne adorned with children's teeth
Crowned with rotting fingernails
A coronation fit for hell!
Ripe with horrors far and wide
The subtle innocence of life
And having crossed over oceans of time
Burning as far as the eye can perceive
When is it that you will realise
Life is the disease
Our father
Let. Me. Burn.
Bridge the devil's fall
Then wake, forget it all
The seconds turn to stone but leaves an ever-growing disbelief
It shakes you to your core
You touch your face and peel the skin away
Who would have thought… Who would have thought
Bridge the devil's fall
Then wake, forget it all
The seconds turn to stone but leaves an ever-growing disbelief
It shakes you to your core
You touch your face this unfamiliar feeling
Do you even know what you are anymore
Bridge the devil's fall
Then wake, forget it all
The seconds turn to stone but leaves an ever-growing disbelief
It shakes you to your core
You touch your face and peel the skin away
Who would have thought such a thing would bring this release
Bridge the devil's fall
Then wake, forget it all
The seconds turn to stone but leaves an ever-growing disbelief
It shakes you to your core
You touch your face this unfamiliar feeling
Do you even {know} recognise what you are anymore
What the fuck’s happening
I was pure.

Take Flight

Seeped, in shadow
The serpentine grip
Constricting from with-
In, a hallowed shell
The ferment brings
A swelling from below
Held up by your principles, with the low sun making it difficult
Take shelter in the trees, the daylight is the enemy
Pierce then through the dark, those hunters eyes will carry you far
It's as though you have lived this before
Viscerally spiritual
Will you atone, a rapture of teeth
You have a mind of your own
You’re running but still, these sterile leaves your respite
To think of all that was done
To take a moment would take too long
To proceed…
In obscurity, from the abbey and the horrors that have made themselves relevant
You were born to kill, a rapture of teeth
You have a mind of your own
The air is silent but still these sterile leaves your respite
And so the hunt proceeds
On ravenous wings hanging over
Suspending your belief
It might not be all that it seems
Systematically born for a purpose you can’t perceive
Tip the Scale
And whenever you close your eyes
The torrent sings out a symphony
Wake from sleep
A dimensional shift
Time has ellipsed
A dying cause
The sleeping wrath
Devours from within
[Let it go]

…And to think it was art
Let the starlight touch your eyes
Doom us all
…And watch everybody burn
You were crafted by stars, to figure out what we are
Watching everyone grow, into feeling alone
You start to yearn for structure, you feel cold
The last time you felt part of a whole
Was watching everything burn
Check it~
Well this has never happened before
Be sure to make a grasp for what is yours
Because in time, I won’t pretend
It all circles around but we a spark don’t live it again
For a second, then it’s gone
Yet it bursts for life for those shards of time
And we? …Well, we want to remember it all
It took more than a life to find
Should have severed then, that’s not difficult
You search the skies for life, it’s almost spiritual
It's like you already know the path to follow
But that space you seek, it drifts, getting further away
Spirals out of control, If the heavens had an eye it’d form inside your mind
Saying roll it one more time, going to sing it again
Rack it up, as we watch everybody burn
You were crafted by scars, to figure out what we are
Watching everyone grow, into being alone
A lost and orphaned culture, cast to stone
The memory of what we were gone
…Was watching everything
Our blood, our bones, all shaped as one
A fading supreme conscious
You push to break the silence but the pressure overwrites it
First came the calm, and you were waiting your turn
But you have stayed here too long, now you just want to be heard
You were crafted by stars, to figure out what we are
Watching everyone grow, into feeling alone
If only skies could see this, crucible
The last time you were part of a whole
Was watching everything burn

I speak to Creatures
They tell me the secrets of the undergrowth
Reeling in chattering fear from abysmal tormentors that dwell below
In their putrid deploring despair
Collectively plotting their rise to the surface
To take what is rightfully theirs
End our suffering by the hands of the Tyrant
Malevolent colossal disgrace
I’ve seen his face
Twisted by the echoes of the night
I’ve felt his malice
Bring down the full force of his might
The hand that tears away the life from all that’s pure
The eye: It seeks to bring an end to the harmony
The face: Contorted by accursed winds of war
The soul is blackened by the hate that overwhelms us all
The ground: It shall be ruptured
Taken from beneath his feet
The sky: Pierced, shall be clear
Blind him and bind him
We Rise
Through ashes and lakes of sulphur
Driven by smouldering fear, seething through all understanding
You can tell by the taste in the air
The roots are in view now
Where once everlasting, their limbs shall be torn apart
And cast asunder
A forced premonition. Painting the sky with their blood
Fear
Wake, hopeless
Clutched innocence
Fooled, broken
Through destruction
Although the darkness calls, and sings the sweetest songs
Lift a hand up, you come to see
It’s all a dream. End it all
Aghast, the devil falls
With fingers disfigured
Collapsing inward, -breaking up
A cacophony of limbs and mud
Carried off unto the depths
Taking a few souls to rest
Though filled with blood the skies above
Cast’s her gentle sight to rest
Lighting up the path ahead
Bringing with her new strength
Allotted to meet the horde in thunder of flesh and bone
In desperate fury, the line overthrown
The fleeing are cut down in droves
Moving close, scarred, only a breath away
Still, worlds apart
Wrought in hope, he’s just a hair from me
Quell the storm
Laying wake to sounds of fervour
A breach, opening beneath
The sky goes on
Hope a thought that’s lost hereafter
A scene, laden with diseased
…The sky goes on
The roots are in view now
Where once everlasting, their limbs shall be torn apart
Cast asunder
The shade creeps further
Somewhere the sky goes on
… Somewhere the sky goes on
Dawn has broken but it’s still not visible
Silent elegy: Unconditional, sirens song pays the toll
Beyond the horizon, somewhere the sky goes on

All that time to set this up, so let’s see how well it goes down
This is appalling my calling is running out
Let’s settle our differences and cast aside our doubts
There’s no use caring on failing it’s over now
Three chords to a riff, can you tell what it is yet
Play guitar and sit, you’ll be singing to your mother next
You can always quit and try to start a punk band
A blast beat always fits motherfucker, when you can’t write worth shit
Stroke that ego
This is your calling, you can’t sit it out
Your hand is cramping, this is Armageddon
Let’s lift a glass, as it all burns
Cant riff, can’t write
Percussion’s three minutes out of time
Damp the lead, those whispered screams
If it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind
Stick to your theme
You look more like a clothing line
Once they're keen, you sell the dream
Treasure those priorities
Imagine all the people, innocent despite
When you're not playing you're breaking your own wife
Still waiting for something new
Yet somehow rehashed shit is all I can hear
...And fuck your dub step
Flash your fathers cash, the suburban ganglands
Oregano Kush, and that’s probably your neighbours car
Tell us how it hurts, because mommy wanted an abortion
So desperate for work, you wear your own bands shirt
Stroke that ego
This is your calling, you can’t sit it out
This is a culling, this is Armageddon
Lets lift a glass, as it all burns down
I forgot what to say… It all sounds the same anyway
Try to figure it out, to be let down
And then the Blues
Waiting on the wrong side of life
Well I know I can always rely on that slide
Oh my fucking god, upon that slide
Jesus fucking Christ, that slide
Let’s live. Let’s learn
It’s all the same, Armageddon
…You’re breaking your own mind
~Armageddon est ages~
