kick down the doors
gonna storm the gates
pay back my boss
hell i can't wait
a pound of flesh
my meager share
all fat and fed
without a care
i'll take
what's mine
if i
must pry
and scrape
and writhe
dragging it from your insides
witness thy lamb in pain
bound and spread
struggle against my rein
lust and dread
kneeling with angel wings
gasping red
witness thy lamb in twain
stained and shed
look on and laugh
the kingly fool
a trench of gore
regard the jewel
behold the spoils
of rampant greed
for all you took
what did you need
kneeling with hands in prayer
fixed in place
sinew pulled back with care
absurd grace
entrails enshrine them there
skinned embrace
the angels weep and stare
soul effaced
the meek shall have their share
teeth make chase
consume avarice's heir
howling divine

give pain to a reverent heart
where did it go, where did it start
falling in time, falling apart
sit and stare with your revenant heart
when i stare at the hard glass grit
everything still, everything fit
hypnotized by the singing grit
walk your void in a world of shit
kneeling close to accept her grace
face to face in a loving embrace
speak your truth in a white noise haze
perish my thoughts without a trace
siren song of the black heart drone
take my flesh, take me home
falling through space, echo and moan
where flesh is god and we're alone
press my lips up to her voice
strip my flesh and i rejoice
skin from meat and meat from bone
sinew to sinew come take me home
give pain to a reverent heart
where did it go, where did it start
falling in time, falling apart
sit and stare with your revenant heart
give pain to a reverent heart
where did it go, where did it start
falling in time, falling apart
sit and stare with your revenant heart
siren, shrieking, ugly, and free
hypnic, void, melo, -dy
and in, my dream, all that, she leaves
formless, sleep, sinew, hazy
siren, shrieking, ugly, and free
hypnic, void, melo, -dy
and in, my dream, all that, she leaves
formless, sleep, sinew, hazy

Of The Carrion Kind
04:00
|

witness wonder past the edge of time
endless tower fear of all mankind
hateful monarch of the carrion kind
stare through eons to the end of life
conjure plague through the chaos mind
sow the lie
void your mind
gather hunger from mold and brine
sour soil gone dead in time
spin your circle with blood of spine
sinner sinew a bitter twine
shadow borne to walk in new life
fashion fear from the soul of night
invert cantor hung from the shrine
sodomize and bind the divine
invitation to the lupine
void your mind
carcosae
shift the real just out of time
auroras dance in ever night
resonating the sands of time
up the cortex and out the spine
the king in yellow makes his sign
his grace wicked born to malign
wind borne echoes lament and cry
and the pious shall pray in time

A Nation Of Ghosts
04:20
|
|||
sever the hands & sever the seed
a nation of ghosts toil endlessly
upward they climb, outward they cry
to shuffle & trudge long after they die
bula matari, breaker of rocks
coldly he counts to fatten his stocks
some men work, some men steal
some men break upon the wheel
lush and green before the fall
a nation castrated and locked in thrall
rot the earth the jungle bled
til the soil is bone and stone is dead
whipped and beat til flesh is pulp
pour it in forms with a mighty gulp
dry and ink with care and stealth
press of the flesh to gain your wealth
a moaning tide will rise and yell
cast out of heaven, cast into hell
to sink the stone, the breaker of men
they track the pig into his den
behold a sea, a sea of hands
severed and left to rot the land
the severed sea, a ghostly guide
he sinks beneath the angry tide
sinking now, his cries are lost
below the wake of the human cost
anger echoes far and wide
throughout the earth, throughout all time
dance like coin, oh how they sing
dance like knives upon the king
still the greed, still the sea
still the sting of cruelty
blood like wine now creep and crawl
a jungle of flesh will storm the wall
rotten earth will raise the dead
to vanish the sole of slaver's tread
pulp the meat and flay and beat
to sow the soil so rich and sweet
murderer, oh king of men
we make the earth so green again

i can see what you believe
dreamer of fire, come walk with me
split the sky and boil the sea
seraph of smoke, come walk with me
see, i say unto thee
make man believe
and cull the sheaves
let fire purify thee
split the sky and boil the sea
seraph of smoke, come walk with me
so said god, carry my word
said god, cull the herd
dress them in ash
sully the sin-ridden flesh
let love turn them to dust
purging the unjust
show them the way
a pillar of salt will not stray
i can see what you believe
dreamer of fire, come walk with me
split the sky and boil the sea
seraph of smoke, come walk with me
see, come witness me
king kerosene
oh horrid thing
blackened by my purity
graceful and obscene
he stands a waking dream
awake and flee
pity the sinner in me
said god, carry my word
said god, cull the herd
trapped inside
nowhere now to run or hide
i can see what you believe
dreamer of fire, come walk with me
split the sky and boil the sea
seraph of smoke, come walk with me

so free from suffering
i can't wait to be
so far from everything
clear sky, the mountains sing
no one to fuck with me
an island among the trees
so sick of suffering
can't stand the way you breath
fly away, far away
fly away, far away
spend my days, far away
worlds away, i would stay
fly away, far away
fly away, far away
spend my days, far away
worlds away, i would stay
howling, find my way
isolate, half insane
no one to bring me down
whiskey and music loud
don't save me when i drown
at peace, forgot my frown
king me, of my own town
piss pot for a crown
belting, long and loud
unbowed and mountain proud

Bridge Jumper

hook goes the hook and crash goes the sea
scattered in the tide pool's where you'll find me
a hook jawbone's wooden rattling
scattered on the rock's where you'll find me
believing every lie that the hippies told me
i took my dreams to the city by the sea
well i'm so clever, gonna make it you'll see
i followed that lie straight into the sea
wash away the sin, the sin of being me
clinging to the rocks, what littles left of me
wash away the stink, the filth of being me
linger on the rocks, entrails and seaweed
they say, life's a long death
here it is, the ruins of belief
they say, life's a long death
and it is, ruin and defeat
hang your heavy heart, a stone around your neck
throw me in the drink, i'll make my final trek
i wear my guilt and shame, a carcass round my neck
damn you all to hell, i curse the fucking wreck
i'm choking, inside

The Partisan

peace runs ragged on a wicked tongue
let your anthems be unsung
the empty symbol to which you clung
will hang us all in the end
pride, showing a lie
growing inside
weak one become the lie
stand, raised arm and wave
welcome the grave
beaten, broken, resigned
peace runs ragged on a wicked tongue
the liars work is never done
the heroes song is left unsung
alone in the land of the free
fight the horrors of a heavy night
so long sorrow, so long fright
peace runs ragged in the wicked night
so long to the land of the free
sigh, knowing inside
they write the lie
stay proud, lay down your life
cry, wicked and wide
thorn in their side
never, say, die
plant your standard on the liar's hill
make them choke on the blood they spilled
the overseers, bound in chain
their entrails tacked to the killing tree
hack so horrid, run em round and round
'til life runs out and the tree is bound
lined up weeping one by one
'til the tree did swallow up the sun
burn the hill and lay the statues low
and salt the soil till nothing grows
let hate be dust and windward blow
forget the land of Greed
let's work as siblings side by side
let love and justice be our guide
we'll raise up our own paradise
and call ourselves truly free

Thought Reform

echo back, echolocate
and sing the song of secret state
man of mind & man of soul
they tow the line with mind control
lingering and leading out
they try to drive the devil out
form the fear of puppet mensch
inform or end up in a trench
traitor traitor to the state
they lock you up and clean the slate
stand and hail consumer reich
the selfie caste can see no light
eat it up your daily cues
or sing a bar of death camp blues
no more nation god has spoke
affix you to the christian yoke
smiling blessed
self obsess
perfect form
no soul left
hand of light to drive it out
we scrape and scrape and scrape it out
dehumanize the human mind
a cog is craft in perfect time
thunder perfect in my eyes
i speak the truth of fuhrer lie
they say a mind is perfect waste
dutiful in perma-haste
worker, fixed in place
hooded, to blank out face
linked up, to the hive
drone, now online
cease, cognitive
the task, will outlive
rotten, husk eject
auto, mate and slept

Slowly Turn To Night
04:57
|

all the world is green
all is life you see
all my kith and kin
always fair of hair
youth without a care
beauty fills the air
and its been this way
20 years i'd say
not a hair of grey
steadying the knee
is a child of 3
as he'll always be
slowly turn to night
something isn't right
bleeding out the light
souring the soil
so the crop will spoil
soon the sea will boil
heavy is the heart
bitterly we part
let my sorrow start
i can see him now
on a broken bough
and he'll keep his vow
i wear a clock as you do a face, friend
fear and abhor your faithful shadow
slow, ever slow, now our pact must come to close
let your whelps wail wild and horrid
as they gaze upon my true face
dust, all is dust so the fruit on your vine shall rust
holding the hands held upon my face
frozen in time the look on their face
flecks of electric radiant white
time dances wicked draining their light
20 some years held still for the fool
rotting like fruit so fast and so cruel
look upon look upon look and despair
how sallow the fat, how wiry the hair
run, run, always you run here
yielding another crop
run, run, i always find you
drawn as a moth to flame
tear back, planes of the real
hiding beyond the veil
walk your void slow and eager
longing to taste your kin

The Weight Of A Lie
03:58
|
|||
split the truth and give it time
a serpent forms from every lie
and here it hangs all black inside
burdening the tongue in time
so give me flesh and give me life
we sit kingly on the edge of a knife
in ecstasy she took her time
and passed them lazy side to side
to dance so wicked deep inside
the taste and texture was sublime
so fork your tongue and give me life
we sit kingly on the edge of a knife
so beat your heart like thunder cries
in adoration of your lies
they taste your love and grow in size
to swell and greatly multiply
and windward we did leave
her soul is lost at sea
the world now deaf to thee
suffer in ecstasy
teeming like eels they shake and cringe
and heave your jaw right off its hinge
to seize and thrash with muffled cries
as your bones break from the inside
rag doll limp and still alive
the hateful things did darkly dive
they copulate a horrid crown
and in this way she did drown
|
||||
12. |

feral love locked in arm
did playful biting harm
to break the skin with some alarm
flash of heat, on pale white
and then her eye, fearful and wide
panicking
combat embrace
ecstatic swelling pain
bursting forth from every single vein
how lovely limp with vacant eyes
calmly caress her outer thigh
and now, my second sight
she is a temple, deep inside
and every bit, is so divine
wrench out my pale god
with every hungry horrid fucking prod
parting the sinew lovingly
i smear the heavens over me
and sup the river of all things
make sure her bones are nice and clean
i suck the marrow through my teeth
and grind the bone to maketh meat
she is so lovely, dark and deep
ripping inside, i split my seam
blackened stain
a fearful scar, of psychic pain
now realign, and reclaim
a hallowed, black and hateful thing
did take its flight upon its hellish wing

The Mutiny
03:59

call to court the regal cunt
who sent us to the bloody front
to suffer hook & flay & hack
all things dead one day come back
gaze upon the blood we shed
on killer hill where no man fled
the air is still, and bright the sun
and yet you mock the duty done
stir the soil on which we bled
a seething mass of restless dead
the quiv'ring heap of hack-ed limbs
adjudicate the tyrant sins
so spake the hand
orphaning your, fellow man
weep young wi-dow
some men have no soul
sow his flesh unto the stone
let your king become your home
fill the halls his endless cries
how we love our lullaby
so spake the jaw wretched and raw
might is made of sand and straw
kill your king and claim the crown
leaden men will quickly drown

Sleepwalker
07:30

hark hear the word, hear and take heed
walk blind in sleep, become the dream
he spun a wire along his neck
severed his head, severed it clean
and so it fell, so fell his head
so fell his eyes, the dreamer fled
and giving chase, his body leapt
and in his sleep, he slowly sped
at once he saw, and so he knew
all things unreal, and all things true
they were as one, behind his eyes
a great, and unrelenting lie
attend his head, ye rueful pet
those dreary twins, Thirst and Regret
salute the dusk, all ink and gloom
like lovers lapping up their doom
so falls his foot, all black and bold
the root of all, stories unfold
we cast our ink, on to the page
and in his ink, we become sage
witness a wake, ebb from his stead
we are the wound from which he bled
and into sleep, we weary wake
like children shook that never break
we walk backward trapped in our dream
choking on our prophetic scream
so damned to say what has been said
we know the doom to which we're led
ours is an endless repetition of
deja, deja, deja vu
behold, the ladder of mankind
folding back on itself for all time
the journeys end, the song unsung
and we shall never leave
the bottom rung
recall a thought you might have had
wander weary oh young nomad
our memories half remembered
the edges of the photo blur
wearing our death with such pride
veiled in oblivion's hide
new born flies eat the sleep
from our eyes 'til fat like sheep
sever thy hand, and make the sign
hosannas fall, from butchered skies
a knife driven, into entrails
witness their fall, and tell the tale
behold the lamb, in vitus dance
behold the depth, of dying glance
that we may know, and so divine
the meaning of, our wretched lives
that we may know, and so divine
the meaning of, our wretched lives
let us praise the dreamer
clutching the severed thread
of life's fleeting tether
never knowing one's led
and in this blind pursuit
of that most wayward head
he gallops off the cliffside
and so we perish in his stead
