1. The King's Collapse
Manifestation
A horde of flies to smother scathed skin
The black sky weeps negligence,
Lingering under diabolic light
A crimson rain descends, adorning the feeble and frail
The mutilated and distorted wilt beneath a king,
Tainted with selfishness
War begins with us
Manevolence hints and its victory grows closer
An arrow piercing straight through mercury
Constant abandonment is given a voice,
On hate-filled nights like this
To the legions crushed by brutality.
A cry for vengeance is heard
The inexorable
2. Our Great Deceiver
Masked by a fallacious face
Torn between abiding facades
Screams have subsided and collapsed,
Beneath the buried layers of the treacherous seas.
A cure nowhere in sight.
Enduring decades of defilement
The bonds of devotion come crashing down,
With a fabricated grin, wallowing with pride.
Hidden hypocrisy, dwindling sincerity
Both laced with abhorrence and dishonesty
Hidden hypocrisy, dwindling sincerity
Both laced with filth
Weakened bones fell victim at the hands,
Of the spoiled affection that began
Closely examine as no shards of truth spill
From the two-faced words of the ill
The rotting stench is universal and consumes all clarity
Reopen your desecrated, diluted chest
Dissect the wounds from yourself and let them drain
Pulling myself apart for no reason as you wither away
Scratch out your eyes,
That were not meant to see this way
3. Return To Grandeur
Strings pull our limbs to the proper places, without restraint
The day begins with confusion, aware
Continue to construct amongst the pretentious puppets
Hands benumb to the sensation of consciousness.
Swarms built to serve as copycats,
In the footsteps of the wicked.
Eyes transfixed, hailed to monotony.
Of the moments we forge, conviction holds us high
Above the infection of time.
Return to the voice of grandeur.
Cut the strings and sing your song of rapture.
In love with the creation of lifeless bodies,
Forbidden to taste the truth.
The sharpest needles feel like the dullest of words,
Spoken without passion.
Begin to self absorb the reasons beyond reason
4. Nepenthe
5. Erelong
Sincerely forgotten and left behind
To be broken and held to surrender
Weary and useless, I become oblivious.
I fall through the arms of love
To crumble. to be crushed.
With this passing moment in time,
There was an everlasting memory
If I speak, will you remember?
Will you try to forget?
It was for you that I chose this dream.
It was for you that I made this real
The silence speaks to me.
Hearing the deafening cry.
My will solidifies
Gasping for breath
I will arise. I will become.
Beckon me with your grace
Rise up and shield. Give strength, to my, weakness.
The leaves will fall tonight.
The air will open our eyes.
Tonight, we dance our longest dance
Oblivious - we are crushed.
