Haunted by their sad and dirty faces, I wonder how and why Removed and so out of touch, we perpetuate the lie We chase empty lives, pretend they don’t exist Avoid their eyes, so we don’t have to think Judgement reigns, suffering remains Exiled to the fringes of life, their humanity fades Lost, slipping through the cracks, buried with our shame Judgement reigns, suffering remains We chase empty lives, pretend they don’t exist Avoid their eyes, so we don’t have to think Judgement reigns, suffering remains

Neurotic seeds planted in the mind, taking root in the blink of an eye Thoughts multiply; until I cannot see the light of day The fortress walls lose integrity, stone turns to dust in the giant’s hand Now crumbling; not impervious to this silent threat The noose is tight Repetition a nightmare alive, cannot grasp a valid thought to ride And the void smiles; what once was can never be again But everything that happens twice, will surely happen a third time A third time The noose is tight

Ashes 03:59
Welcome to your ruin, the writing is on the wall Slow unravelling, it is coming to an end We’re howling at your door, step on the killing floor A spark will find the flame, a fire fuelled with blame Watch it burn to ashes Don’t look so surprised, ambushed by your little lies Demons never faced, the truth cannot be erased We’re howling at your door, step on the killing floor A spark will find the flame, a fire fuelled with blame Burn it all to ashes Execution time, the pyre stacked up high Sacrifice your beast, the offering, no reprieve Say your last goodbyes, it’s resurrection time Burn it all to ashes, it’s time to die again Time to even out the scales, it’s time to die again

Blinded by fear, walls closing in day everyday Crushed by the weight, ground into dust Void of all hope, under the hammer far too long Will to survive? To your knees! Rise! Burning eyes, nowhere to hide Adapt or die None left to give, mind too dark to see the light Will to survive? To your knees! Rise! Burning eyes, nowhere to hide Adapt or die Eyes to the sky, no digging deeper Word to the wise, scarred never beaten Enemy within, the one to fail me every time No longer paralyzed! Time to rise! Solidified, nowhere to hide Adapt or die Eyes to the sky, no digging deeper Word to the wise, scarred never beaten

Curses 03:43
Her pain spills and changes everything Sanity fails as horror loops in my head What have you done in the wake of sorrow? Built your own tomb under the mountain of loss Curse the beast, that stole the sun from your heart Curse the god, who brought you pain and despair Burn the words, feeding you lies and false hope Burn the fear, held so close to your chest Curse the beast, exiled to nothingness Curse the god, cast from his throne in ruin The pieces fit, a life in isolation Hidden away, balance never regained No one left to mend a perished heart Only lies to deceive a wounded soul Curse the beast, that stole the sun from your heart Curse the god, who brought you pain and despair Burn the words, feeding you lies and false hope Burn the fear, held so close to your chest Curse the beast, exiled to nothingness Curse the god, cast from his throne in ruin Face the retribution of every life laid to waste Pray there’ll be no questions on every broken human face

You fold your arms in apathy, ignorant to this being your fight You hold the gun to your own head, blind to the folly of your spite Atrocities accepted as the norm, our souls wither in profusion Ignorant to the brewing storm, culture abolished interaction Welcome Oblivion, gripping our souls Welcome the Darkness, seize control Answer the call Vicarious witness to despair, compulsive consumed as slaves Armageddon stirring in the air, to live or suffer, cradle to grave Welcome Oblivion, gripping our souls Welcome the Darkness, seize control Answer the call

The mind’s worn thin, the heart is weak Doubt whispered in our ears, the claws digging deeper with every step out of character We are lost, we are damaged We crumble under this heavy load Perversely we try to stand alone But in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind But in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind We fail our own demands, the grip around the throat while the mirror gloats Yearning for some relief, maybe validation to hold off the beast We crumble under this heavy load Perversely we try to stand alone A scream in silence, denied the helping hand blinded by destruction Hopeless in the cage, relenting to the void Cruelty was born, before that day was done Crumble under this heavy load Perversely we try to stand alone Still in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind Still in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind

Ravaging rats, mind full of holes Deceiver, lurking in the shadows Waiting for a gap, crack under the door Nightmare behind open eyes, pins me to the floor Revert? No! To the stereotype. Accept? No! Intrusive thoughts. Believe? No! It’s in my DNA. Give in? No! To the deception. Inherited absurdity Thoughts turn to pain; self-harm or homicide Horror I don’t need, voices I must hide Is this the way I am, or my fathers’ madness? Condemnation? Guilt by proxy. Convicted, boiling in the bloodline Gnawing at the edge, a wolf at the door Battles behind open eyes, here we go again Inherited absurdity

Black and white is all you understand, oblivious to the hypocrisy Benevolence I cannot reconcile, with the endless hell of reality I refuse to accept that this suffering is a lesser miracle I refuse to believe that this misery is a lesser miracle Selective the dogma you retrieve, obscuring blatant cruelty Loving father so empty the embrace, an existence stripped of sanity I refuse to accept that this suffering is a lesser miracle I refuse to believe that this misery is a lesser miracle Barren the years void of truth, we’re all living in the grey The delusion, the distortion that your freedom is not a cage Tell me how can you believe? I refuse to accept that this suffering is a lesser miracle I refuse to believe that this misery is a lesser miracle Tell me how can you believe? I refuse to be blinded by dead dreams and I refuse your gestures too. Thoughts are appreciated, but your faith can fucking burn.

Festering for years, devouring flesh and bone, knife twisting slow When the hooks were in, it hollowed out the corpse, Unseen parasite. Nerves on fire, weakened protest Your World Unmade Lexicon of Pain, a message from the grave I watch with disdain, the breaking of the slave Forgiveness? Not today. Save it for the grave. Diminished life force, fever dreams How long before the end? Wounded king, palace under siege Our World Unmade
