Verse
This man worn down by time
A shell of what once was
Through echoes of the past
One can see his plight
Through moments’ whispers
A flood of pain
With no remorse
He turns his back on them
Verse:
Now he wanders
These barren landscapes
An echo of himself
A ghostly presence
Over endless mountains
His footsteps fall
He ceases to be real
Chorus:
Trapped in its shell
the soul shall scream for its release
Dead to the world
Hollow existence
Torture shall be
The essence of this life
As ashes escape
Tranquility falls
Verse
The protagonist takes his life
Stolen
A tragic loss to them
His liberation
over forested mountains
His spirit runs free
Peace finds him at last
Tranquility
Chorus:
Trapped in its shell
the soul shall scream for its release
Dead to the world
Hollow existence
Torture shall be
The essence of this life
As ashes escape
Tranquility falls

Verse
I am the slime above the ground,
The dust on the laces of your shoes,
In hindsight, the ever screaming glow,
In memory, the slow and melting snow.
Verse
I am the ache upon the mountains,
The breath of a famine skyline,
In hindsight, the unrelenting toil,
In memory, the never ending foil.
Break
Stretch the paralyzed wings of the dark,
Shade the shames that wallow below.
Heed the pouring flames once stolen,
Bathe in the decay of my once sought sigh.
Chorus
I am the fury and cacophony,
I am the razor in your ears,
I am the implosion of your dreams,
I am the explosion of your universe
I am the death of all you know
I am the bane of your tainted soul
I am the implosion of your dreams
I am the explosion of your universe
Break
Stretch the paralyzed wings of the dark,
Shade the shames that wallow below.
Heed the pouring flames once stolen,
Bathe in the decay of my once sought sigh.
Verse
I am the sour taste in the floods,
The aromas of sin behind your thoughts,
In hindsight, a plunge of temptation,
In memory, a wound of temptations.
Chorus
I am the fury and cacophony,
I am the razor in your ears,
I am the implosion of your dreams,
I am the explosion of your universe
I am the death of all you know
I am the bane of your tainted soul
I am the implosion of your dreams
I am the explosion of your universe

Confirmation of Passings

At the dusk of your daunting gaze
Comes the woe of my purest snow
Cancerous despair, spiritual demise
Wallowing in the hollowness of my veins
And at the feet
Of your pervasive words
Come the aversion of my tainted skies
Clouds of inherent aches
Amass and arise
Ulterior pain, condensed into a tear
(Ulterior pain, into a tear)
Lustful touches upon my barren earth
(Lustful, my barren earth)
Conceive the spawn of this disease
(Conceive the spawn of this disease)
Consuming the breath I heed no more
(Consuming the breath I heed no more)
You articulate my self-denigration,
You speak my estranged desires,
Coals that burn my pyre to ruins,
A whore who bred my vain progenies.
And in the stillness above strange soils
Life’s canticles are chanted in doubt
Salvaging comes at the cold of my palms
A confirmation of passing, seared to the sky

Centuries
So sickly were they formed
Parasitic emulations of life
Hostile to their own kind
Their progenies are naught but pain
Aeons unfold
Amounting to nothing
The favorite
Indulgences of the weak
Depravity in its earthly form
These lands hold no mercy for the meek
Oh
The plague of mortality
None shall escape its grasp
Oh
This world of hopelessness
Pestilence shall inherit the land
Suffering
The product of an earthly life
Death holds them in his frozen grasp
Like cattle they wander
To the slaughter
Like sheep
They wander to their demise
Silence is the only escape
From this nightmare
Of being awake
Night falls and the pain subsides
And await the embrace of the Void
As you take your life
Oh
The plague of mortality
None shall escape its grasp
Oh
This world of hopelessness
Pestilence shall inherit the land
