What solace have I in idols and thieves?
Built to the heavens but founded in grief
As all effigies, the likeness is unclear
Like faded tapestries, woven in guilt and fear

Will I never learn?
My place is alone
Every shrine, every hope, every home must burn
And I'll finally be at peace

A fleeting grasp at self imposed solitude
The slipping mask of old social platitudes
No fear of failure, only the bloom and decay
At the core of my soul, through the cracks in my bones
I will not submit to this

This loss of trust
All the scorn and deceit
Helplessly screaming
Of impending defeat
Ravage my body
Poison my mind
Every wound you inflict
Will be repaid in kind

Scatter my bones atop the peaks
Of sacred mountains
And let the soil reclaim me
The vultures that fly, the worms that crawl
Creatures under the sky, they are worthy
One and all

My dying wish
To return to the earth
That bore witness and wonder
To endless rebirth
All has come before
All will outlive
We are not fit to share
Nature will never forgive

If our sun never rises
What would truly be lost?
The perpetual twilight illuminates,
Reveals the cost
I would gladly repay
All debts to the crucible
The scales will be balanced
With blood and bone, marrow and all

Let roots dig their way through my carcass
Let vermin feast on my flesh
As I go to my rest, I am content
To know I return from whence I came
May my bones bleach the earth
May the carrion birds excise what remains
To the mouths of babes
The cycle begins again

My final wish
To return to the soil
That bore witness in wonder
To the birth of us all

If our sun never rises
Would we truly be lost?
The perpetual twilight illuminates,
Reveals the cost
I will proudly repay
My debt to the crucible
The scales will be balanced
With blood and bone, marrow and all

All is dust

Consumed by constant propaganda
Never questioning our role
Patterns of behaviour
Undignified to behold
Rolling in the mire
Blasphemers, charlatans all
Rebellion in due course
Against the old world

Opposing righteous upheaval
In defence of the unnatural
They profit on souls
Grow greedy and bloated
Watching us writhe
At their beck and call

Resist blind faith and speak plain, recusant
Reject their narrow fucking worldview

Resist blind faith and stand named, recusant
Take heart in this
False idols fall and temples will crumble

Reject all faith and be named, recusant
Take pride in this
Their idols will fall and their temples will crumble

A soulless procession
Of discord and dismay
Priceless sedition
A life on display
Shackled with golden chains

Consumed by repetition
No atonement and no shame
A legacy of 'progress'
Built upon the backs of slaves
Now worship an empire's grave

"Spare none"

Between the pyre and the altar
Blood for silver, souls for gold
Let the heavens open
May their souls rejoice
The gates are torn asunder
At the raising of a thousand voices

"Spare none"

The price is paid
But the debt remains
No token recompense
For a world reclaimed
From nihilism and apathy
From capitalistic depravity
We reap what we have sown
And we sow only despair

Hate, loss, fear, pain
Pay the iron price

Let shallow minds and shattered hearts
Be unified in sacrifice

Let shallow minds and shattered hearts
Be unified in sacrifice
The smallest spark that will ignite
A blaze that signals the end times

Let shallow minds and shattered hearts
Be unified in sacrifice
The smallest spark that will ignite
A blaze that signals the end times

Awaken the dreamers
From blissful subsistence
An era is ending
Stand and bear witness

A new dawn arises
The path is clear
A world without borders
No gods, no masters, no fear
