Harbinger Of Nothing

we die once our bodies fail our mind
but we disappear when our minds leave your memories.
fog clings desperately to the ground.
a second death burns hotter than the first.
tell me who i am if you're all knowing
the arbiter of moral purity
whose never admitted defeat
whose never atoned for mistakes
your patron saint of perfection
you've canonized the lies
you use as scripture
your patron saint of respectability
i am not the harbinger
of your sanctimonious virtue
tell me who i am
harbinger of nothing

When The Path Is Unclear
11:05
|

you are lost
one by one
as you sink
as you suffer
you will know
just how far
you have left
you are lost
one by one
As you sink
into lethargy
giving in
letting go
when the path is unclear
a lifetime of expectation built on generations of accusation
you'd adopt the attitude of a storm
but the storms want nothing to do with you
you'd do well to take heed of the subtlety of
the winding stream, of the spider of subversion.
the champions of your past conquered nothing,
and neither will you.
you carved your name deep in the earth
those crevices will echo your shame
symbols cut clear and bold
those crevices will echo your shame
no room for ambiguity
those crevices will echo your shame
in time it will crumble and decay
those crevices will echo your shame
no longer plagued by the grinding of your spirit
all you have doubted your future clouded
you can not act with conviction when the path is unclear.
you'd cast aside and turn away
you'll bare the blight
you'll wear your shame
you'll never hide
we'll carve your name
sink, suffer, regret, shame

You Who Has Never Slept
07:40

the vessels of your sin
the shamed you've broken down
they will not bear your burden
they will not bear one
shred of your disgrace
bow, and open yourself to what is to come.
for i have lost my youth and joy
for i languish inside of sadness
for my heart is full of scorn
i pray you, disloyalty
blowing through the streets & the valleys
of my restless mind
of my eldritch thoughts
of my uncertainty
apathy claws at our doors,
talons made of burdens and blights
scratching, mawing, persistent
all we care for is rotten and rich
it shall devour
i'm no better
torn of the same cloth
shrouded in ignorance and flesh
let it in
apathy claws at our doors, let it in
i awoke with the resolve to move a mountain
i want to be like those before me
who screamed into the great unknown
saying "we will not stand for this."
we will not be bystanders, we will not stand idly by
sleep soundly, tread lightly you who has never slept.

Glory! Glory!

the waves,, the mountains, the reckoning, the end
the crash, the shatter
our lives are short, time is tenuous
sleep with sweet silence beckoning
i am the tides; vicious, unrelenting
Serrated shoreline carved out, hollowed, by your hand
the cairn, it stands atop the mountains
the monolith in rubble at its feet
the path is dirt and leafs and sinew sheared from this earthen, lifeless husk
by your grace, your divinity

Apathy Took Helm!

when we are dead and elsewhere
without us time moves on
when we are dead and elsewhere
without us nothings withdrawn
banish the light, welcome the shadows
when we are dead and elsewhere
a place between lust and lore
i am home among the worms
all we care for withers
plant me deep within the darkness
with grace and mercy i shall bloom
all that we care for withers
the drought hath pierced the root
the holy blissful martyr sleeps, in sickness he will weep
when we are dead and elsewhere
when we are dead...
