Forsworn
04:26

Beyond the clutches of conservation
I plummet beneath
Devoured by self enmity
My path leads beyond the dark
Forsworn
Artery of the soul
Slit and void of sentience
Insensible
For I no longer, wish to be
Suffering on this side of the soil
Take this life, of contempt
Futile
Take this life, of contempt
Sacrifice
Take this life, of contempt
Futile
Take this life, of contempt
Sacrifice
Beyond the clutches of conservation
I plummet beneath
Devoured by self enmity
My path leads beyond the dark
Forsworn
Tears of man
Water the crimson seed
Fertilized in ash
Burgeon under skies of anguish
I recoil
Descrying turmoil
In the afterworld
I wake
From hollow to hollow
Rooted in pain
Eternally desolate
Suffer
I, the forsworn

Genesis of Calamity

Genesis of calamity
Collapse to the mercy of the sun
Kindling the echo of mortality
Senticence fading
Vitality withers
The frigid gaze of death
Despoiling purity
Condemning lucidity
The essence of man
Escape from mortal shell
All that remains
Oblivion
Genesis of calamity
Collapse to the mercy of the sun
Kindling the echo of mortality
Senticence fading
The frigid gaze of death
Staring
Evermore into infinity
Clenched are the hands of sufferance
Imprisoned witness of departure
Left in vanquish
Release is chimeric
The essence of man
Escape from mortal shell
All that remains
Oblivion
Genesis of calamity

Delicacy of the wind
Provides guidance along the path
Whispers of a separate reality
Fade in, fade out
Is this providence, or perhaps hypnosis
Oh wanderer
You’ve finally arrived
Come forth
Let the soil pave a gateway
Shall you travel to Elysium
Or will you gaze into the waters
And become a dweller of the dark stream
Mystified, yet insidious
The stream pulls me in
Captivation
Lead to possession
The paradise I seek
Is nothing more than manifestation
Sinking
Sinking
Oh wanderer
We meet again
Dweller of the dark stream
For the gates to Elysium are sealed
A pity this path is
Engulfed by purgatory
(Tu fui ego eris)
Sufferance is eternal
What you are, I was
What I am, so you shall be
Don’t follow the stream

Declension
04:48
|
|||
Black hearts dawn
Compassion erodes as skies darken
Days of gloom, nights of ire
A world numb of empathy
Blood of the world
Dull and desolate
Days of past
Fade into obscurity
Far beyond
Altering the future
The mask no longer hides
The immoral
Tear thee from serenity
Nihility
Oh Nihility
Declension
Morality withering to ash
Age of sorrow
Blight tomorrow
Declension
Tragedy unto duress
Feeble spirits collapse
Subject of woe
Disintegration
Wretched fools
Clutching onto
Desperation
Of euphoria
Tear thee from serenity
Nihility
Oh Nihility
Whimpers of
Melancholia
Declension
Morality withering to ash
Age of sorrow
Blight tomorrow
Declension

Encased, Erased
05:09
|
|||
Stripped of Euphoria
Heartstrings torn from being
The sun sets
Disintegration ensues
Thoughts of nihility
Void of delicacy
Pseudo consolation
Insidious possession
Burrowing
Down beneath
Ever loathing
Self secrete
Will I feel the sunshine on my face
Or will I feel the night’s cold embrace
Distortion of mentality
Contortion of self harmony
Salvation denied
Emotions now blind
Burrowing
Down beneath
Ever loathing
Self secrete
Will I feel the sunshine on my face
Or will I feel the night’s cold embrace
Sunshine
Longing for the touch of grace
Weeping
In fear of consumption of nothingness
Encased, in the comfort of isolation
Erased, by self destruction
