The Faceless Ones

Otherworldly nervous beings
Infiltrate the depths of your spines
Silhouettes with a tangible grip
Reap souls through the caverns without eyes
A pallid visage
Occupies the head
Cold calculations meant to replace
Animism’s breath
The faceless ones that roam the streets
Sanctimonious mimicry
Agents of order sent to null Psyche
Bereft of all autonomy
Amorphous slug-like limbs
Undulate past your sight
The font of splendor was punctured
You feel your mouth run dry
A frost has ossified the palm tree’s
Once maturing branch
Desperate for fertilizer
It relies on purple shedded skin
The faceless ones that roam the streets
Sanctimonious mimicry
Agents of order sent to null Psyche
Soon to replace you and me

Derailed

Now you know, the end is here
Suffering, so severe
Resources all depleted
Society has been defeated
Our way of life has failed
Completely, it's derailed
The rich continue thriving
And mock those not surviving
We slave for all their greed
There's nothing that they need
In this world, it's all the same
We're just pawns in their sick game
Run, run for your fucking lives
Run, there is nowhere left to hide
Run, all hope has fucking died
Run, there is nowhere left to hide
Society has failed
Completely, it's derailed

Lycanthropic Bind
02:38
|
|||
Blood shoots desperate from the deepest recess
Long forgotten visions of running free
Muscles torn and strained from apoplexy
Mind in bondage by the false moon's duress
Locked doors, drawn curtains: a learned dependency
Circadian rhythms expelled without much protest
Need no convincing submission to her own arrest
Thoughts inbred; glass scraps against her teeth
She, now beast, slave to bright light's cynosure
Heightened senses target those too loud
Wet maroons palette her painted pictures
The canvas, their bodies - the brush, her snout
It is the promise of empathy nested
underneath morality's fire, burning hot and white
It is relinquishing all whom you love and care for
into its code: that binary inferno
Your lycanthropic bind
It is the promise of empathy nested
underneath morality's fire, burning hot and white
It is relinquishing all whom you love and care for
into the throes of lunacy - a grave and shallow tide

My bride, thou lay before me in still repose; supine
Desiccate our vows through punctured heart; rapine
Whilst I on pursuit of my truest love: divine
Be wedded now to an unfaithful tomb; entwine
I ponder in earnest next to the stillness of my blade
Cloaked by the creases and folds of death’s tortuous shade
I resign to the creeping blackness of our twisted love’s decay
The light that you bathe in shall be your only grave
I doubt you’ll know
I doubt you’ll ever know
The cross suspends above your breasts
Which know the waltz of wanton breadth
Magnets the pain towards the wench
Slumber atop the pulsing reds
Pupils have sunk into my flesh
Her hands are now known to molest
Forgive me, God, I do detest
I lay her whorish soul to rest
Avert thine eyes from the holy crest
I lay your whorish soul to rest
