1. Behind Blind Eyes
Behind blind eyes,
Synaptic silence.
Apocalypse
Eclipsing dawn.
Obscured by tears
Bled from inside,
The drowning dream
That comes to life
When we wake.
Behind blind eyes,
The spinal cord contortion
Is strangling and
Entangling life and death.
One whispered wish
Choked out at last.
Unbreathing,
Seething dread sets in.
Deceiving my senses,
Believing the lie.
Revealing, releasing
Through clenched eyes torn wide.
Behind blind eyes
Inflamed by fears,
Old scars defleshed.
Refresh the screaming dirge.
The hollowpoint
Hallucinations guide,
Dividing day and nightmare
Intertwined.
Never know
He light,
Too dim to show
The way.
Written red,
The path
A narrow line now.
So denied
The sight
That points the road
Ahead.
Deeper still,
Grows wide
To spiral down"
So alive,
The fire
That marks the sign
Below.
The embrace
So cold
Despite the flame.
The shadows fade
Like shedding skin.
The vortex drags
The sunlight back inside.
An inner storm
Released at last.
The tempest spins
Confined within the eye.
2. The Savage Circle
We've summoned up the suffering
Sufficient for eternity.
Never felt before on flesh,
Like lying in the serpent's rings.
Infest, corrode and conquer them,
The thoughts that breed benevolence.
Desensitize the warning nerves,
To numb self-preservation sense.
Expressions of their self-awareness,
Black holes spun to be the canvas
Absorb emotions' fiery colors,
Displayed for empty sockets' stares.
Devoid of common sense perception,
Oblivious to lost reflection.
No inward glance for absent vision.
The savage circle twists within.
It's a primal world's dying dance,
Celebrating martyrs of the mad.
A hollow core devoid of sustenance,
Paralysis so statuesque.
Condemned at birth to roles of war,
To run a self-destructive race.
Witness to the grave misfortune,
"destiny" our epitaph.
Struggle for a stronger handhold,
Iron grasps, unshifting stance.
Deny the mercy set aside.
Safe silence from the chamber's blast.
Brace your soul for the storm
Whipping 'round in the night.
Anchors tear from their bonds
In the dawn's burning light.
Winds of winter rush down,
Waters torn from the void.
In the face of the deep
Hear the dying cries"
One last look to the sky
As it falls overhead.
Sun and starlight obscured
As true nightfall descends.
Final words come in short
Calculated commands.
Not the cold grip of death,
But by our own hands.
Deception of the highest order,
Filtered down to those below.
Unsuspecting nameless faces
Cast as pawns, the dice are rolled.
Bittersweet the victory,
Achieved at costs too high to count.
We dig our graves and step inside,
The savage circle twisting on.
3. Veil of Twilight
Raising timeless, silenced voices,
Summon those on ashen winds.
The people who in darkness retch
Awaiting the eternal end.
Maintain the watch in bloodless lust
Confined in these weak mortal shells
Walk the world in crimson dusk
Prey on their misguided young.
Rise now, we of sacred blood
Shedding pale mortal masks
Unhinge these brittle, broken bones
Unfurl veiled twilight wings.
Beckoned to the halls of flesh
Siren pulse within thy breast
Instinct bows to savage thirst
Blinded in bedazzling mist.
Take to heart the pangs of fear
Ache of rapture at thy neck
Bathe thy body in cold sweat
As you choke upon my breath.
Extinguish the sun...
Eclipse the cross...
Our time has come again,
To walk the ancient Earth en masse.
Children of the night awake!
The hunt is on
Descend...
See what is sewn by their hands.
Our virgin Earth - the whore of Man!
Return unto the black Abyss
Before the sun...
Burns...
Apocalyptic hands of fate
Crown this king, a son of Man.
Beyond the grave, a banished prince
Calls upon our name again.
No light but for the morning star
Needed for our astral sight.
In legion, voice our call to arms
To claim the prey which is our right.
4. Six Feet Under Eden
Six feet under Eden
Lies the broken bond of
Stone etched birthright.
Damning silence
Choked in human dust.
Petrified in ash of
Stone gates cast down as the
Sword of flame drinks deep
Of traitors' spilling
Blackened blood.
Those who tread before,
Fallen into dark,
Who warn in tongues
Of waking death.
Those who lie below
The pit of Genesis
On stainless blades
And angel flesh.
Here below the shade of
War walk unassuming
Souls bound to the shell of
Frigid flesh and
Tangled vessels.
Numb against reality
In mass entranced belief
Bred by technology.
The agony
So sweet.
"And He drove out the Man,
And at the gates of the Garden of Eden,
He placed the angel
And a flaming sword which turned
Every way to guard the way to
The Tree of Life"
Written on the fallen
Walls of dynasties betrayed
By powers that should
Never be yet
Always have been
