I wish nothing more than this moment to see the many facets of ruin. And the silence breaks the barrier. I've got this impulse to traverse the boundary but there is no going back. As the affliction departs, it all becomes clear. muThe resentful beast must be released. My only guidance will be your lack of sensation And as the fetter splits, the threshold has been passed. Transcending Universe The blood rushes down, shall I escape? Fatefully Accept the truth The Truth of relentless entrance succumb to your will. Transcending soul and self The blood will flow further than my demise Preserving Innocence I must heed not to you, I conform! Shall I escape my demise? Succumb to your will. I conform. I conform.

And desperation comes Waving its hand around Inciting the flames Of your self-loathing Without the forgotten reign of forbearance The face of doom blindly calls Making light of the everlasting We shall bring our attention to the skies Can you listen To the end of progress As you marvel what your demon desires to hear Without the forgotten reign of persistence The face of doom blindly calls Making light of the everlasting We shall shroud you from our lies Breathing life into the lungs of the dying breeds. When I see your truth it pierces the destiny and bleeds. Stand for something and Ascertain all the falsities Deface the gods with the Selfish antics of antiquated tenets Without the forgotten reign of wisdom the face of doom blindly calls I too shall walk into the blazing depths of a damned reality.

Swan Song 04:59
High in the night sky, the crying moon describes a forgotten and lonely past. Dotted with anger and splashed with sentiment. Now embracing your rising caste. Here is your swan song. Cut your desires and spit at their feet. You'll never see this through. Moments admired by selfish defeat, for far too long. Though the earth shudders at it own waves, inescapable. Relentlessly beating in vigor with empty shells of fate. But remember you will not last. I too have chased the stars to escape a forgotten and lonely past. However you hear this, I fare thee well to the end. But your demons, they will outlast.

Born – baptized in salt and sap Snared – a hallowed skein of stars Awakened – the halcyon dream dissolves Forgotten – the void in silence calls Comatose – a divine state Ink and spear procreate Frosted serif – hide crimes past Opal illusion – in re-flec-tions of the ash Decrepit Slave to blind overlord Rapture traced in arcane rime. Natural order catechized Prostrate in static longing By thy grace our pallor regained “Nigh or now” – the truth’s the same Sedating all with yellow grin Crowned in knowledge – but forever robed in sin I, on the precipice Take a step in stagnate haze Loosen my constricting grip And cracked seeds fall from my fingers Feed – pick bones clean Silent ascension with body serene Twisted locks and meal-ground teeth Eternal unrest in a withered nest Wisdom wanes with waxing pride He falls from sense to conceit Decrepit Slave to blind overlord Rapture traced in arcane rime.

So begins my search for sunken R'lyeh Irem, seven portals Intrest in only one I claim myself immortal My quest for God has just only begun Nitemare city, lost in the sea- Safe from the harm of man, Waits for the stars' command Built in terror, found not ever- Until i was shat out, Put on Earth to bring the drought Into the deep, prepared by sleep- My God waits for me to wake him, I demand he take me to the end I demand he take me to the end My vessle, is slowly sinking The ocean, is open black Putrid, horrific dreaming Now i can never go back City in the sea City with the Elder God thats poisoned me Dreams the only key Dreams corrupt my vision lost of purity.

Apprehension 05:11
Distance, dismay came to me Like apprehension does to all. The fearful hope, expectations rise Yet no change, we fall. The isolation of such beauty can yet never be replaced. But obese characteristics of geographic origins Most are blind to these faults. Motionless, entrapment. We are watching the dance with the dead I dread departing my roots. But I must leave from this place. The frost, the winds, an instance of visual perception. Mental visions, I must leave from this place. For the dreams which I've had. For all that I've desired. Like flowers under the frost, fantasy was mine.

Calmly linger for the coming storm Knowing that it will bring my decay I’ve had grasp of the entire realm But I’ve forever failed in thawed Succession, it’s my obsession To subjugate Pure as my driven cloak Which hides what you will become When I melt into your seeds Your life comes at my death Blinded by the oath to fulfill The endless storm At this coming hour You will no longer succeed Emerald isles remain rusted Scorched in frostbitten stagnation I will never betray myself I will wither into the earth Define the end to rush the ground Ascend unto the crown I will never betray myself I will wither into the earth Define the end to rush the ground Ascend unto the crown With Vernal Impunity I stand Your life comes at my cyclic death Never again. Autumn Lingers On my damned existence Devoid of life With impunity I stand Halt your progress And carry no more Frozen in time, frozen in pain End your shadows Calm your edge Frozen in life, Frozen in…. DEATH!

I’m but a soul and a purpose, so brittle and aware. By the wayside I lie, dangerously close to the plummeting into the void. And fading from the communal eye and out of the private mind. This is the terror, the sound of the forgotten. Release your grasp on the bygones and embrace the morality. An awakening to the senses and a view of an alternate reality. Paralleled with the shames and regrets of a laborious and empty finality. I pass into the nothingness knowing less than is inherent. In the heat of this transition, it all becomes apparent. We are all ghosts of our former selves. An Ill forgotten reflection. A semblance of our path to now. A spirit shedding skin A sense of renewed capacity A rebirth with an old chain A rusted burden with no viability. This distinction between the lifeless and gone, Comes at a price that cannot be restored. A piece of you must die an agonizing ruin, To survive and to prosper. A fleeting instance to renounce and for compunction. A flouting silence washes over as I come undone. A shifting veracity disregards the hesitations. A flawless reality now defunct, the olden cries of time! Transpire anew, with a vigor and a drive All of the expectations that burdened our pitiful lives Tossed aside and left to rot, in hopes of progression No interment for the fallen to avert slow digression. I set my gaze behind the veiling fog, I see that nothing is coherent. Then ahead I find a thriving course, and once again it becomes apparent. I must let go to let live.
