1.
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 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 06:30
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 06:23
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
