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

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

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

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 03:43
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

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

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

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
