Black Masses

Needing one more simple reason
To transgress the human code
As my thoughts manifest action
You will do as you are told
Your children have been warned
Catatonic and frustrated
I'm condemned to change my ways
What is a bullet, but an iron will?
Decadence, man's final phase
Your children have been warned
Oh, black masses come to me
Poisoned through dichotomy
Weakness purged, heathens cower
It is now the witching hour
Witness all authority
Bloodied hands through sodomy
Idle minds, the limitless
Id enabled, life repressed
Bonded through conformity
Greater than just you or me
Radio waves, rise to power
Throw yourself into the fire
In my hands

Born of twisted kin
Why do you suffer for them?
Their hearts are nowhere
Those molded through sin
Was that light in your eyes?
Or just the white of mine?
Through night and day, this feeble shell
Cracks deepen, burrow in my pride
Then suddenly, I hear their call
Bestow me courage and sound mind
I am of use, I am appalled
This presence will not abide me
I live today for absent friends
And I will know their wishes
Broken and amused
I am the clay of the earth
You'll get what you deserve
We have been abused
The time for words is gone
When I became the Fisher King
My pride and anguish consumed me
To feast upon such bitter gold
My palace reigns on borrowed dirt
The fertile coil of abandon
Their bodies rest but we are looming
The plight of rain, our withered souls
Lie buried, smolder and ashfall
My final ache, release me now
Condemned to drown within it all
These ivory walls, the bloodied floor
My only friends in the world
No sun will set for my repose
You will not see my weakness

Lords of Smoke

She speaks to me through these smoke signals
The tendrils twist beyond the haze
She seems a siren to my senses
The one to guide me through this maze
I can feel her needles buried deep in me
Unobtrusive life is the price we pay
The metamorphosis has failed us
The burden of our abstract lives
I wish to understand these secrets
But they've left me here still paralyzed
I can feel her needles buried deep in me
Unobtrusive life is the price we pay
What have you done with my mind?
Cataracts glow in your eyes
Reprieve, a sordid illness
Another place to hide
I live among your skies
They poison me with lies
A burden carried
There's no way home
Our lives have withered
There's no way home
This sail has passed
Our home never lasts

Bloodline Strata

Lo and behold my Cambrian appendages
Through your flesh I am now endless
Terror seas, the chitinous predator
Obsolete form, your weakness is cellular
You will know life, you will know fear
Many are gone, I am still here
Will to survive, sinew and bone
None will defile my benthic throne
Mighty jaw, the scraping of my desire
Built to feed, this sickness that I've acquired
Borrowed limbs, a sequence of cold design
Unfortunate ones carry my bloodline
You will know life, you will know fear
Many are gone, I am still here
Built to survive, heir of the earth
Lowered my eyes, then..
We are falling out of line
What flows and filters through
So cunning and poised
Until your might is untrue

Holistic Narcissist
05:05
|

My name's Thought Enabler
Melancholic smile
Deep cut, let the humors out
All the beautiful bile
This greased machine means business
Margin of error is thin
Those who suffer will feed the well-fed
It's original sin
They're coming around
They're coming around
They've got an axe to grind
They're bringing the hounds
What's that frown?
Schizoid city
Holistic, narcissistic
Cull the whole herd, diagnose the illness
Sadistic, heuristic
The bane of society
The profitable word
Color TV screen
If you know what I mean
Believe or burn in doubt
Faith healer, crutches shed
The frontal lobe is a landmine
Many choose to rot through centuries
Others choose to resign
Ciphers planted in my head
Hold the key to existence, the quietest dread
Drill bit, that god damn sound
I won't be around
You should have never found this place
Reload synapses, mind erased
Holistic, narcissistic
Cull the innocent
Sadistic, heuristic
The bane of society
The profitable word
Color TV screens
And you know what I mean
Believe or doubt
Doubt

Sundowner
06:18

Exit mind and rise above
Borrowed paths, magnetic ones
Satellite, gravity's pull
Earnest now, tomorrow's fool
Take me higher
On your golden desire
Sing in tune, soul ready
Spectrum light, cascading walls
Waking dream reveals all
Panic blooms, the marrow glows
What was lost so long ago
Take me higher
On your golden desire
Lean in through, out of body
Bright lights, the stage awaits you
Don't forget your line
Worn day, the sun descending
No stars
Hung up on your conclusions
Helps pass the time
Just to be never-ending
And well defined
We can't ignore ourselves
We've waited for sundown
Well and past, still the waves are bending
Cut off the line, all we are is motion
We can't ignore ourselves
We've waited for sundown
Just to feel permanent and endless
Don't be scared, all we are is motion
Only to form in time

Djinn
08:12
|

Panicked delirium, enemy at the door
Beneath the cataracts words that never were
Momentarily spoken through bastard tongue
Arcadia, watch it all come undone
Was it pride?
Was it fear or anger calling you inside?
I don't recognize this state of man's configuration
Metamorphosis, bury the wicked kin
In lies deliverance beckoning to the djinn
At the precipice, will of the feral one
Arcadia, watch it all come undone
Don't let them know your name
Seldom to trust at all
Now and then it seems
Past lives have been recalled
Stasis gone so soon
So many faces loom
In the abject task of knowledge
Built a realm of peace and solace
Quivering, old selves have followed
Wear the mask that I have borrowed
The anomalous rat king bellows
All the fine men cast no shadows
The resented sons and daughters
In the embrace of dead waters
All of the fears I have known
(Rest my bones, so alone)
Will coalesce into you
(Wounded head, I never bled)
Order will bring a permanent home
(Honest eyes, I told a lie)
Never again to be lost
(Never again to speak)

The Red and the Black
08:35
|

Twenty dollars in your hand
Twenty dollars ought to rule the land
The people you stepped on are never coming back
Honest to none, between the red and the black
Glowing neon signs
Bright casino eyes
Belly full of ire
Faces eluding our dreams
Honest to God, they are not what they seem
Blood of reptile, coward's lie
I have seen now what's inside
Panorama smiles
Save you for a while
Serve the chosen ones
Till our time has come
Jilted lover running red
Idleness breeds discontent
Paranoia, gun to head
Folie à deux, our path's descent
Wretched life form, withered sigh
Mitocondrial design
Black as daylight, oil of sin
Humanity could never win
Idle life forms seal your fate
Be of use, assimilate
Rebel life forms, redrum now
What you've done, what we've allowed
Fall on me
Blind men see
Call on me
Dead can grieve
Call on me
Ruthless immolation
Gods above the shattered sky

You see them too
Vacant and used
Through heavy glare
Vacant stare
You feel them too
Blistered and bruised
Calling my name
Am I insane?
I saw your suicide
Into the pills you hide
She bathes in cyanide
I saw your final sigh
I need an institution
Wrought iron gate for me
No bitter life to witness
Sorted my demise
I simplified the villain
I never knew the ease
Could never save the wilted
We are all diseased
Cutthroat, heathen
Idolize nothing
Culling specters
Calling out
Hear me falling away
Hear me falling

Cytherean Breaks

Tethered to shoreline
One breath remains
Carried for far too long
Our vessels have waned
I have been cold now
Since you reached inside
Buried within my chest
I chose to abide
I have seen shadows
Carry my name
Venus infers the cause
A lowly dividend
Cradle the unborn
Such terror and dread
I am still right here
A place to make amends
I have been docile
What a lonely domain
Limbs of the elder woods
My presence so profane
To grow so numb, unnutured, unloved
Not the intention of forces above
Merely the looming of death or some scars
Anathema to no one but myself
I have let shadows
Carry my name
Venus in retrograde
A change that never was
Fearing the unborn
A withering child
He is still right here
He is stillright here
At what cost?
Of a life, of a home, of a cause?
To decay over years, to be lost?
And it seems to be you who is wrong
When I've held my breath all along
I will not live half a life
