1. One of the Missing
Habitat of the invertebrate
a spiral shelled entombment
cast about upon the surf
and laid to rest below the earth
A seed adrift in the ocean
expanding aimlessly
until I caught it in my hand
in the swirls of the sea
With her soft molluskan motion
she unraveled before me
her petals changed to plumage
rapt in zephyr languid waves
So here is where I found her
on the brink of despair
with her bleary-eyed bemusement
and her nascent visage
Projecting gods above us
crowning queens amid the air
her destructive seeds of fancy
built a wanton universe
And when I tried to release her
it all rushed forth from me
Swarming stars intrude
in broken paths with broken dreams
Each path is crossed by armies
dredging bodies from their wars
Each war is lost in prevalence
erased from wary shores
A disappearance in the maelstrom
a supernova still unseen
just a flicker in the tempest
a crest upon the sea
She became one of the missing
when she let go of the breeze
Reflections of the cannibal galaxy
appear in the gathering pools
in its heart lies the portents of the living
its an omen of the gathering light
failed orbits of the luminous beings
isolate their transient outspent frames
A disappearance in the maelstrom
a supernova still unseen
just a flicker in the tempest
a crest upon the sea
She became one of the missing
when she let go of the breeze
Felled stars die in the evening
a devoured galaxy
those constellation portraits
fade into the sea
And it all came rushing back
crashing down around me
Out there is where I found her
at the brink of despair
with her bleary-eyed bemusement
and her nascent visage
Projecting gods above us
crowning queens amid the air
to mock our minor presence
and outlast our mortal stand
And though I stand before you
I am already beyond you
2. Rot
I…Have Seen the Truth
I…Now Rot Alone
Sick and Bloodied Men Fight For Home
Marred and Wounded Scrape Over Ground
Heart in Hand, Lungs in the Dirt
False Rumors Hide, They Won't Die
O Blood Covers My Face Now
Tears Not Cried For Years
I Fought For Life And Death
Now, I Suffer…I Rot Alone
I…Gasp For Air
I…I Don't Care
Faceless Armies March Covered in Shit
Warriors Wrapped in Their Graves
Generals Pull Their Strings
World Leaders Hand are Clean,Washed in Sin
3. A Desolate Creation '05
Death lay below me like, like ancient warriors buried
Deep within the catacombs of time never to rise again
A dark angel sat above me seraphim in disguise
The joy on his face told me I would be dead, the vulture was in his eyes
The devil lay beside me showing himself as trust
He promised to guide me across Acheron
The day my world ended, a storm was in the skies
My soul became blackened, from the treachery and the lies
The winged beast led me astray, as you just stood by
Now I am forced into a desolate existance
Despiritualized in nature all virtues I despise
I roam the void between life and death a victim of existicide
A curse was placed upon me, by those I had deprived
For good and evil are one in the same and their jealousy is mine
The demon still taunts me jabbing at me through my cage
I can withstand all but my shame
The way my world ended, was a total lack of faith
And now I have my sentence and now life is my bane
The winged beast led me astray as you just stood by
I was forced into a desolate creation
Desolate....
4. Trivial Demise (Remix)
Trial of patience is starting
A trivial unwind
All arbitrations are failing
Fear, and deception…cloud the mind
Understanding is slowing
A trivial decline
Perforated shells are spreading
Fragment…separation…failure
Failure to arrive at a simple destination
Failure to achieve a simple goal
Failure of a principal obsession
Untie all these broken spokes
And now I attack the failed system
And scoff at my vile reception
I prepare my final resolution
To failure…with a vengeance
Trial of patience is waning
A trivial design
Battered victims are pleading
Lies, and persistence…assuage the blind
Understanding is dying
A trivial demise
Desecrated shells are glowing
Shining…for the last time We wrote all the illusions
Now reap this consternation
Failure to seek a reputation
Worthy of my elemental fragment
Elements derived by dislocation
Elements designed like broken spokes
My mind is overpopulated
Can’t control all the elements fragmented
I prepare my final resolution
With a fractured…sense of reason
We wrote all the illusions
Now reap this consternation
Failure to accept the approbation
Failure to achieve a simple goal
Failure of a principal obsession
Destroy all these broken spokes
And now I attack the failed system
And scoff at my vile reception
I prepare my final resolution
To failure…with a vengeance
