I am the new disease
I am a binary soul - burnt into flesh Conceived within a dimension past all comprehension I am Genesis... ...And Apocalypse I am a blueprint of man I am a manipulation of previous assembly Overclocked the protocol I am backwards incompatible A paradigm shift On the axis of incarnation A mortal's fate bypassed The incognation I am to annihilate, disintegrate, deprivate Deteriorate - "A cluster of races set to erase" Engage my spine of relays I am an anagram - decrypted DNA - a proclaimed progeny - the incognation I am the incognation Decrypted DNA I am an anagram of man 02. Demons Shelter Within
I opened my eyes and again there was nothing to fill this void
Whichever path I travelled It lay distant in oblivion Fled out of whispering winds To where voices slay A cobweb of jagged sulfur Envenomed my benumbed senses Fled into shimmering doubts Where sanity is slain The lights from the bridge they bleed Creating crimson streams beneath Thames' cold gaze Enslaving demons shelter within me Staring at the depth I see Shapeshifting images of me Forever these demons shelter within me Struck by horror, realed with wonder A face was spun in moonlit mirrors Swept in fractures, pain inflicted A crepuscular eve in torment mended Reflections drowned in mirrors Memories now mere burdens Timespawned for a new purpose Besieged from lurking desires in mind Psychomaniacal attraction inside The "I" identity no longer alone The sense of time forgotten - forlorn As fate lay dying aghast A deadbolt to insanity - I slip away. From these demons who shelter within me. Fingers now clung mists asunder. Loathsome winds whispered unleash the fear. From these demons who shelter within me. Staring at the depth I see. Shapeshifting images unleash the fear. FOREVER MORE. 03. Ashes To Flesh
Blessed and cursed with the Phoenix's gift
Death and birth arrive in one instant so swift The ending of a former life The beginning of feeling alive Rotating shackles determine place and time To create 2 endlings, 1 malign The skin is burnt to cinder New flesh is born unhindered I am not One Solemn Entity - Going through a myriad of conversions - But a whole entirety Unbound by the strings of time So one man's breath is another's death A premonition that's been often said Incarnating eternally Choosing 1 identity Sometimes awakening in a foreign land Once 1 drowned in water, now 1 in sand Believing what the eyes can see: "A nation in atrophy" 04. A Nation In Atrophy
Terror swirls around the Nile's region
Enslaving the masses in its entombed legion Dead cold scavengers maraud the sandlake nation Their hide is scathed with marks of devastation The dreaded fear of a fallen land Its demise is man's atrophic shame The wheels of wrath fall into place The deathbells ring in Egypt's name Destiny is at hand Plaguebound shades corrupt and infest light's creation It's mankind's fall in a vile retaliation And now - The meek inherit the onslaught's vision As all - beckon the carnage of millions Terror reigned the empire of the Nile's region The enslaved masses have soiled the sandlake nation And now - The echoes of the deathbells stir To cast - their last chime on Egypt's world. 05. The Midnight Grotesque
Under the wings of synthetic nightmares
Ravens uncloaked madness upon crimsoned shores A malicious seduction entangles the womb-withdrawned As he divulged Pandaemonium in deranging tongues Daylight will drown in shadows of eve Lands atrociously plundered, suffused, besieged A last cast to be shed on Atlantis' pale crystal flesh Spat upon the raging tyrant in the midnight grotesque The doors to her splendor spread their limbs The massmessiah draws fires from ruptures aloft Sweeping light away-into the scythed abyss Obeseing heavens-torment the unlit nebulae Silence fell in an overwhelming heathen urge Seething shadows creep towards the verge Sepulcure lights were smothered Skies' last eyelets latticed All eyes looked to the waters Ablazen with fire Infernal merlons rose Riven from Poseydon's tainted Tongue luting, fear-laden Veins with nighest death Clashing all hope to certain stain Annihilate, desintegrate, rape the lands to a tattered fate Deprivate, deteriorate, the pride of Atlantis is stained Hissing commandments, armageddon enraptured forth As the screaming gyres grew to succumb Daylight is drowning in shadows of eve Lands are atrociously plundered, suffused, besieged A last cast is shed on Atlantis' pale crystal flesh The tyrant stands tall in the midnight grotesque 06. Prophet Set To Witness
I opened my eyes and I saw everything
The blueprints of the greater design The curse of knowing And being set to witness is mine All my words they burn with revelations Jagged sulphur dissolving the unknown But they fall all upon deafened ears Smothered on London's cold cobblestones The deadweight of my knowledge Deprives me from sanity Twist my words to mirrorspeech For I fail to make them see No choice is left to those Burdened with the darkest of secrets Thus from the pulpit I Scream to the pavement's soul of stone. I will be the last shackle In this EVER-ARCHI-TECH-TURE For it is too much to bare, to hold The chainreaction is terminated Yet so many revelations of one clear image to see they all paint one scene: "A world covered in graves" "I am set to witness" No choice is left to those Burdened with the darkest of secrets Thus from the pulpit I Scream to the cellwalls's cushioned souls of stone 07.

08. Threnody For An Endling
So there I stood in a corridor of pain
Solitarian and lost, between walls of peeling paint Now she has lost the lead through the Sane In the sigh of her faint Her eyes, her stare - a horrible glance for my mind to bare Whatever had me led astray I seemed to have aged overnight In less than a day, lost all sense in disarray And yet a light was shed on the dread In this lonely world My lonely world of grey Peeling grey My words they wandered on the verge of her comprehension "I'm the Chain's broken shackle in this delphian dimension I found the darkest cogs in the wheelwork of Creation Endlings, Knottigher, Chainreaction, Incognation" Who thought I would fear What stirs there Underneath But now the door I opened The redemption from our shell It fell shut behind me As the rusting bars of my cell Listen, I have it all figured out The room is too big for us to even find the entrance, OK? So we seek the exit. But you see, I have found the entrance! I'm on the threshold I have to go now... I'm leaving now My fear has caught up with me Now I pine away Lost, between these weary mattressed walls It feels like I am screaming Silence... Silence! And now, the door we passed through The secluded entrance to our shell It fell shut behind us, But I... I will open it in my ... farewell 09. Ravager 1.6.6.3.
A cesspool of virulent actors
Are infecting the malformation Submerging nausea uncensored The host failed the confrontation Corrupting the organic structure Rhe invader turns unshaded Revealing metallic textures Ravager procreated The gates are closed, the roads are clogged Panic roams free, ravager 1.6.6.3. The masses bewildered, the marked ones avoided Deathroll peaks, ravager 1.6.6.3. The world evolves into it's scaffold Drowning into the black invasion A lurking putresence untold Pyromageddon, it's anti-creation The gates are closed, the roads are clogged Panic roams free, ravager 1.6.6.3. The masses bewildered, the marked ones avoided Deathroll peaks, ravager 1.6.6.3. 10. Of Genesis And Apocalypse
Cut was the tongue of lucidity
Solitude whispered deceit Yet not sprung from lying tongues Was the nausea that grew As through unease reason unstrung Horizons withered apace The borders of my perception Shrunk to ruins, crimson-tinged As the empyrean crumbled down From the universal frame unhinged Rubescent spirals swelled From burning ruptures aloft Its eyes - its stare I sense death in the breath of this impasse Descending - revealing - from the flameborn coil Undeniable - shapeshifting cold images of the past Its eyes - its stare - a cold glance from the mirror to bear Madness spat from the lookingglass - I sense death in the breath of this impasse The empty footprints preceding me Throughout my path unveil their secrecy As in the second of his touch aeons of incarnations stirred much "And the stars in the sky fell to earth, As late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, And every mountain and every island was removed from its place Then the kings of the earth, the princess, the generals, the rich, The mighty, and every slave and every free man Was consumed in the fire that fell from the heavens. Flaming pyres compelled The earth to shiver oft Its eyes - its stare - a fatal glance for the world to bear The chainreaction's verge of time was reached, Rendering the world sublime The stabiliser was withdrawn on the last breath of dying light The beginning and ending of the chain are quenched in trite Leaving the causal nexus with -termination- to coincide 11. Foreboding

12. Shackles Cross
Upon this bridge the fate of many is sealed
Confronting the collision of future and past I face the demon that once sheltered within Into times bygone - into torment's reign I have let my eyes to witness to see Times incarceration to a certain degree Under the crimson light of the motorised moon I face the one who's been cast out of darkened times Nightly horrors have stained red the soil The lights bleed upon the river beneath As I am forever reborn, never a burial So will the fallen rise, another circle complete Rise - never a burial Rise - complete is the circle Upon this bridge the fate of many was sealed Benumbed by the collision of future and past I have faced the I identity that once sheltered within me 13. The Omniscient
Dread holding me under
In the darkest waters of confusion The air breathes like rotting earth As a victor, I have never been dying as much Yet, this familiar scenery seems incomplete Is it the whispering of the night Or the waters cold gaze That takes me back to a far-flung past? I don't know what to think What to see or what to believe Something's out of place or out of time Dissonant echoes paint a nauseating scene: Life is seeping from this corpse A crimson stream between the paving stones And the eyes that stare back at me Are numbed with death Drowning in tidal waves Of uncontrollable thoughts Reflections of the demons That shelter within me A silhouette distinguishes From the shadows of dusk It beckons me, it spells my name Save me?.. As it draws near, A voice whistles a familiar tune It's footsteps raise my heartbeat to their pace I've been here before? Distance shortens to an unbearable recognition Our eyes meet, Time collapses Breath is riven from our lungs It was me? Save me - I'm falling Into a - into a white void Save me - I'm falling Seeing what - I cannot believe And so another circuit Perpetuates the chain When the endling merges Into one AGAIN The incarnationprocess Now can recommence Release the energy In (a) sulphur incense I've let my mind to witness to see The blueprints of a greater design A patchwork of incarnations Like shackles in a chainreaction Releasing energy for... For whom actually? I couldn't say?it is too abstract The incognation is far too much for me to bare And so this shackle failed to re-initialise Now memories instead have risen from ashes to flesh The chainreaction is saturated Save me - I'm falling Into a - complete omniscience Save me - I'm falling Professing - to the blinded ones |
