The Consciousness of Misery
On the brink of collapse
This is the tragedy of existence
Under a falling sky
We are at last overcome
The tempest of despair,
Consuming every waking moment
Dark clouds black out the sun,
Resisting the coming dawn
I’m following insanity
Overwhelmed
With the essence of decay
One ending after the next,
This destruction was our only option
I was left to ponder
The consciousness of misery
For we cannot know what’s ahead;
We are the sentient dead
And the tears that we cried
Were not enough
You were the reason I was sick inside
And now we are no more
I cannot unsee
A figure in the darkness
Lingers like the breath of death
With no reprieve
Encompassing as these hands close
Upon my wretched soul
In the cold it will expire
Spiral deeper down than ever
Deeper than ever
My mind; my prison
Waiting for me
In the end all is forsaken
Under the fire we die
Ashes fall
Without a sound
Or second thought
Under the fire
We are no more
As ashes fall
Invisible to everyone
Even in death
We are nothing
Even in death,
Nowhere to turn
Our ashes fall

The Abstract Venom

The Abstract Venom
On wings of death beholden,
Searching for absolution
Lost memories of the final
Omen beckon
What was once unspoken
Has finally been unveiled
A cosmic page unfurling
In the ether
The abstract venom
Reaching for the true answer
The longest night is calling
Resigned to our own ruin
Fallen from this pedestal
With a forsaken heart
We can't turn back; we know that
We have failed
After all we've suffered;
Children for the slaughter
Self-righteous eyes are watching
With their lust for blood
As the vultures flock
Where my body rots
In the earth
Solo: Davis
Solo: Walters
Solo: Davis
Solo: Walters
I can't go to where you're calling
The earth is warm where I lie
Too many times I've fallen
Unto that sleepless plight
That waking night that pulled me
Towards the beginning
And the ending that echoes forever
In my mind
Where I lie there's no more warmth
Voices calling out from beyond
Calling my name
My salvation lies
Forever severed nigh
In the ether
Where I lie the falling rain
Will soothe all that remains
All at once I'm entombed in this
Cataclysm of despair
Forgetting and leaving
All that was dear to me
The abstract venom
Reaching for an end
You will yearn for
The darkness drawing near

Purgatorium

Purgatorium
The torment lies
With the unknown,
Buried in degradation
Twisted branches
Are reaching out,
Caressing my flesh
For the evil can’t be undone
When the inside is rotten
Even in death
We are an abomination
Shame of this world consumes us
The devastation
Obscured the heavens
Purgatorium
A violation unwarranted;
All innocence gone
You will awaken to oblivion
Without redemption
Our bones are scattered at the altar,
Left for the squalor
Found myself a place to rest
And now the sky is grey
Forever
Solo: Davis
Solo: Walters
Hope is gone
By nightfall I reach
For absence of feeling
Departing
The gathering storm
Will be our blessed demise
Our demise
Our blessed demise

Amorphous
Formless limbs clutch at my soul
Smothered as the void beckons
Helpless as anchors descend
Merciless thy demon manifest
Am I in hell or is hell part of me?
Suffer no more the vile menace
The walls are creeping in
These eyes turn inward as I diminish
I’ll never be free again
Am I in hell or is hell part of me?
The shadows whisper
Not yet awakened
Yet still I lie in wait
Searching for the light of day
Transient though it may be
Now from the fire that burns within
Behold the devil who beats his fist
Crawl to the bottom of the abyss
And die a thousand deaths
Solo: Walters
Pass through the rigid veil
And dream the evil dream
Breaking amidst this sleep
A haunting foretold by grief
You come undone
