Divination 02:35
2.
Shat into existence, cursed seed beneath the sun Placed upon a sinking path, grieved and set upon And as we grow together, I begin to carve my rites Of solitary inching through cyclopean might A world unbridled in it's horror In this doomed nativity Roots take hold in soil steeped in darkest disappointment Pushing, ever pushing 'neath decaying green and innocence Stunted growth by broken promise Friendship grieved by judas kiss A blade in twisted hand To cut through gordian heart A world unbridled in it's horror In this doomed nativity Sacrificial son so fragile Of melancholic proclivity Beneath the rising sun, the blossoms fade to brown Brute forced down choiceless path, the dreams are hammered down Face first to gravelled soil, scars nailed into the ground Tainted memory, the proof creeping beneath the earth The seed of sorrow imprint, internalise what has been learnt Lessons immemorial, of hollow virtue and the hurt The powder keg is planted, the fuse now set to burn

1777 05:03
Buried in tattered cloth and sodden wool Normalise the dulling ache and anxious pull With muzzle flash, we killed the iron lung We severed all, through stillest tongue Falling further, ever further In deepest recess, you reside Greying memories red and butchered Annulled within my mind Nostalgic poison washes through Tsumani buries all we held inside I’ve lost so much and said so little The puzzle pieces lost beneath the tide In a flash of fire, the red did kiss the green The deadened limbs still heavy, from a fading dream A ghostly shadow in the periphery, the void that once depressed That once repressed A pound of flesh upon the scales Noxious, rotten, undone But its you who now bares the scars Eclipsed by the man that I have become Your loss, immeasurable Immemorial
4.
The abyssal void between the lungs remembers all Lash by lash, skin starts to separate The forked tongue sneers begin to chip away Collapsing walls constructed by clenching fists Scar tissue tells corrosive tales like bloodied hieroglyphs The Judas whispers echo each and every night The bones that fuse and break beneath the hallowed light A whipping boy malformed, both wretched and alone The heart of glass that breaks reveals a heart of stone The leather cracks and pens another tome Another chapter of sordid suffering and gloom Formations skew the etchings, the shaking hands of scribes Who pray for inked quills to turn to bloodied knives The day has dawned when tables turned are set ablaze A nail through every wrist that struck upon the trembling brave Upon the cross of impenitence, the fallen lords shall bleed A monument to the burning shame, writhing in the meek
5.
Coma 04:34
Dragging through the sinking glass The weakened pulse, the labored beat The drifting skies that pass like tectonic sands That shift beneath my feet The rise and fall of thousands That bleed between each breath The meekest child with trembling heart Waking in his death Fill these ragged lungs with venomed air Exhale, exorcise the greying dormant soul The lips shall part and the bone will grate Until this blood runs cold The ink shall dry and flesh will scream Until this blood runs cold Direction speaks in volumes, as the vowels do light the void The absence of shape, of point, of meaning Mere etchings now dissolved Translated and transcribed from aching palm A record cast into the aether This biography of me
6.
Myrrhbearer 03:44
In languages never spoken, we speak Acrimonic fire breathed upon the world To burn the bastion of abhorrence Coiled indignation begins to unfurl In death of purpose and loss of sight In life, aimless, borne of blight Beneath the earth we writhe, in wait Bound by worthless vision and illest fate With granite wall and pitch of black Fragments of purest love held back Pupils wide in darkest hour Amid foul air, rotting and sour The dormant nerves begin to feel The terror and torment once concealed Synapses fire and spark the birth Latent regard slowly unearthed Crossroaded virtues blur and bend Begotten chance to make amends Worn hearts by savagery, beset To forgive but to never forget Set ablaze I am reborn anew I am reborn
7.
Heavenshore 07:56
As my heart does break Upon the heavenshore The wretched twine that binds these wrists To leave their mark upon the flesh Nevermore Solace, imprinted by my bones Sorrow, forever coming home The sun will rise upon the frozen heart Coagulated ice floes begin to drift apart Cut away the septic flesh The malignancy of the soul bereft Lungs that burn with winter fire Shedding scars of self inflicted wound First breath upon the broken surface As rippled truths do bend the moon
8.
True empyreal terror On jagged precipice, bearer of truths befouled Do with me as thou will With bloodied feet and breaking spirit, I plunge Segregation and separation Boundless, shapeless and fluid Truths split beneath the gnashing of billions Bleeding through six chambers of realisation Swallowed by esophageal legion Digested, inch by putrid inch The reddened iris blends and molds Acidic rebirth in the horror eternal Enlightened and defleshed, sickness takes hold Madness claws throughout the descent The depths of dread, the foulest scent These ragged lungs collapse Temporal weight Masticated and ablated, exposed Rabid yet mesmerized, drowning inside Gentle heart erodes, raw nerve exposed Passed but forever grieved Refuse of a world unleashed Wisdom of violence ingrained, dead inside Cancerous, but alive
9.
There is red in the white, laze of the iron head Filled with malfunction, meaning glossed over and worn Equilibrium fault and I slip again Dissolving explanations never meant anything anyway You can't hear me It echoes in the fragments, vault of riven bone You can't hear me, but maybe thats for the best As breaking shoulders fold into this caverned chest Seeping words drip through the cracking earth Cram them in the brittle stone Body of a sinking cage Impulse degenerates, fingers fade and blur the line Neon trails of the meaningless loss defined Nails broken and splintered from clawing at gates of time I no longer understand what it means to be alive I no longer understand Grief fills these cyclothymic depths and stills these rusting lungs Swallowed by the shame and sorrow of what I have become Fleeting moments of electric transparency Lost in the labyrinth internal, they mean nothing to me They mean nothing to me Nothing

Weight 08:21
And when the last fruit has spoilt I will lay with naked grief and sober flame Alone among the stars, I’ll hang and burn Under godless moon, I will immolate A flaming effigy to self destruction A monument to fuck you too The wretched roots take hold in pure defeat As filthy noose pulls taut and true Branches creak and the flesh does scream Of every wrong I’ve been put through Through bone and ash, I’ll come true A flaming effigy to self destruction A monument to fuck you too An apologetic gesture of unweighted sorrow A futile prayer I can’t undo Affirmations smoulder in the light Embers of indecision glow inside Through collapsing hopes, internalised Feeling every motion, dead inside Unwritten words I’ve yet to pen From aching hands that long for an end These earthen bonds were bound to break By setting light to moulding chapters of pure love and hate I lost myself some time ago Unsure I’ll ever make it home
