New swords of Sanctuary Beware the malevolence Consuming, surging Drown dwelling in nightmares Forsaken path led to the mortals culling Thus you evaluate Yet ye left only to reconsider I must reanimate The path to smoldering fissures Beyond angelic deities Those who thought to sought A canvas of cretins and perpetual afterthoughts I give you this Ritual ritual ritual Losing control, terror consort No death can save you from me Run Run from your terror What pseudo-serendipitous In the depths I will pry Submit to your prime A wanderers will to persist A timed-life deprived Nephilim, adherence to affliction Fall to your terror Old wards of Sanctuary Prepare for the malediction Drown dwelling so helplessly Six feet in the gaping ground Oh somber deities You have thought to sought The canvas of cretins and perpetual afterthoughts I leave you with this Ritual ritual ritual Losing control, terror consort No death can save you from me

Abhor 03:18
When seeds of ripe familiarity Nurture contempt, silently Look deep within yourself Burn the flesh that vitiates Push your hands to the flames Embrace this state of narcosis Bearing disgust, you lustrate yourself Crept in the shadows did Letting bloodshot eyes crawl subtly beneath The terrors dig further deep The kindred deprive your sleep Embrace this state of narcosis Bearing disgust, you lustrate yourself Our graves they rush to smother Rushing to deplete As vitality signals retreat Abhorrence becomes your creed Aversion so putrid, ignorance so sweet Patience obsolete Would I abrogate another day than stare into the face of another wicked mangled apparition That follows me angrily, embracing surreality Would I abrogate another day than stare into the face of another wicked mangled apparition That follows me casting aberration, embracing this enmity The grave pulls us closer Gorging sweet release I will control no longer Give into abhorrence The grave pulls us closer Gorging sweet release I will control no longer Give into abhorrence Abhorrence Now you fucking die Abhorrence

Defining a means Of self-preservation Draw from your inspiration Express infinite potential Let it take control Maintain relevance Before hope falls into perpetual discord Disobey Despite the ways paved To have forgone serpent-like mutations The shedding of the skin No innovation as you lay pre-made Mannered in accordance To all those who have been wronged You'll bathe in a former Shredded dermis, without purpose All that's left, expired desires Fletchers and wretches Mounting weightless curses To worship at all means these loyalties are not your own Digging holes into their souls Do as you were told Idol eyes shape the mold While you dissolve You hold status no more in a place Where all pick at the bones Exemplary art, mediocrity comes to fruition The same old thrift, the waste of a gift But what you seek is locked in these perceptions warped Not born by creatives aid A humdrum dulling defined In cognition you'll find the natural progression No scribed lies to hide behind The tendencies of pioneering become an impossible notion Our healing process is benevolent This trailing distress is irrelevant You're all contrived In a broken system Intricate embroidery falling flat like hymns you have forged Lies you have hidden, no hymns you have written You have written

Darkly cloud, you rain on my flame My stoic porous soul cannot take Unhinged again, I become Please will you disperse If not for her then please, for me You are no more You are no more You are no more You are no more

Torpor 04:42
Pardon my nature The fruitful trees have been axed I'm found muttering In this lethargic relapse History, I won't be doomed to repeat it Callous, worn forever proudly Kind scars, depict a deeper deceiver While I'm, postponing my Sleep Pardon my nature I veered between Apathy and torpidity My eviscerating fanaticism The fee, without balance I am found needing Finite, patience has now left me Blind sheep, give praise to the one deceiver Now my belief is concealed So incomplete I am the fool of my own feet Treading an intermittent increase Last righteous foot laid deaf Nothing but a breath left Just a self-absorbed made threat Amount to nothing, cursed you lament One burden I must augment I must augment I am the fool of my own feet Treading an intermittent increase Last righteous foot laid deaf Nothing but a breath left What have you done Left me, why me A mess I've become Suffering for this blasphemy Liar, you are nothing to me I won't be saved, who here's the defect Irony I'll be left standing over your lungs Ripped from your cage You'll fear your mortality

Destroying integrity with weapons of guilt Looking for escape Logic berates, mind vindicates Bad intentions bide time to suffocate Madness forever menacing No time for cowardice, lest your vertebrae devoid I feel a need, time for valiance to bleed Chaos ensues, my mind consumes All thoughts of retaliation It's an aching need, time for violence to breed Riddled in contention, as I return to dissension Riddled in contention, as I return to dissension Antagonist, left in limbo The silence, the virus, the essence of zero Perpetual, decay of honesty as you know Antagonist, left in limbo The silence, the virus, the essence of zero Perpetual, decay of honesty Staining the tongue, I've given up Leaving a bitter taste Staining the tongue, I've given up Leaving a bitter taste Staining the tongue, I've given up Leaving a bitter taste Staining the tongue, I've had enough Leaving a bitter taste Systematic evil reloads the barrel A shadow marks my undoing Inebriation brewing, creating new brooding I am torn between two worlds Both held hostage for their comforts Against my will Escape as you break the binds of solace Dig deep for your conclusion Dare walk the line painted in delusion of promise The eternal internal war, hungers for more Destroying integrity with weapons of guilt Looking for escape

Lonely Seed 03:56
Blessed fresh flesh caress Ill urges without finesse It's a thirst too perverse One like, one follows, you're cursed first Age don't discriminate Succumb to the siren's serenade Seductress, she's the queen of elevated ecstasy Manipulated, heightened The masculine, easy prey Convincingly, they will trust Beta puppets, strung in lust This aggrandizement received You become disposable Victim of the femme fatale Click bait, hit that, undeniable Assimilation after deceit, spurting all your lonely seed Distracting, breasts are impacting Where the fucking meat sleeves? Tremors beneath your skin You want in her playground of sin Body shift, motions switching Crazed, hooked, erections twitching Tremors beneath your skin You want in her playground of sin Body shift, motions switching Crazed, hooked, erections Twitching Instant gratification built an empire on ass worship Narcissistic cult of desire, breaching your ego How'd you fall so low Deduct your spunk into this faux vagina Corrupt, naive, the placebo A lackluster pedigree, subhuman Alone, eternal corrupted You free fall into the primitive Soul siphoning vice grip Wrapped around your shaft Bleeding pockets dry Blessed fresh flesh caress Body urges without precept The worst is hanging from your fingers One like, one follows You're off the hinges too The perversion will get the best of you Succumb to rigor mortis After death there's no coitus Manipulated deliberations The outcasts, easy prey Convincingly they will trust Beta puppets strung in lust

Regalia 02:53
Breath has found its path to you Cherished child of the womb The war of ethnicity conceived of pride Poisonous impurity carelessly spewing Viscous cerebral vomit, projected nimbly Through their negatively, painted mouths Unto you phonetically fake Typically you drown in fucking false faith Varlet thieving from the modern era Governing a nation, starving never strong Dastardly bastardly fiends Motherfuckers don't belong A royal rage boiling blood Old blood, old blood on these walls Cold blood, cold blood on these walls Food for thought When you drink the fifth of whatever shit It's fucking counterfeit Feeding of cause to submit to laws they wrought To force you off a greener pasture The vacuous transformation, a timeless contagion A ploy created to numb the twisted knots A fatuous people fashioned in fascism Something does not belong The latter were born into coronation For a golden crown, non-sovereign Purely out of desperation When breath has found it's path to you Pathetic product of the womb You remain deranged while we're encaged As past and future slaves Varlet thieving from the modern era Governing a nation, starving never stronger Dastardly bastardly fiends Motherfuckers don't belong With my white knuckles humbled Fear your mortality

Please will you spare me Oh brittle subconscious mind Visibly the color of uncertainty Painted here, so vividly So please will you spare me I'm forced to muster a thought Without the strength to comport Yearning for comforts lost Collapsing anxieties The fervor that breaks in the cause I am forced to trust all my thoughts without revolt Frigid now my embrace, it once elated Motionless abandon, brittle heart castrated A soul deflected, a soul deflated As my vessel is fractured, is nothing sacred? I'm crazed to muster a thought Without sanity to consult Yearning for comforts lost Collapsing walls around me The fervor that breaks in the cause I am forced to trust all my thoughts without revolt Must one learn to love through hatred There's no sublime state, my mind I violate Drowning every pore with fear concentrate Now I am the whore Another victim of suffocating distress A dismal noose though I have a use I won't take your excuse nor this vulnerability abuse Dead romance and harsh rebuke No false answers or blessings of youth An asphyxiation tourniquet choking the life from the truth Choking the life from the truth Choking the life from the truth The tortuous undoing of what feels to be true Your mind unraveled, solitude you shall pursue I know, I hear it too It'll pass like all storms do The struggles you've suffered through, bid them adieu Your facade is subdued For I am the sightless eye, protector of you If only you knew If only you knew If only you knew Together strictly physical Blind suffering with lesions internal She is dead, lying unconscious as she bled It's only grim from this perspective Committing treason against all reason It's abrasive, so distasteful With empathy disgraced for, a lack of balance and emotion Committing treason against all reason It's abrasive, so distasteful With empathy disgraced for, a lack of balance and emotion As the lifeless seep on me, I look to the source As aggression cripples me, I found strength to comport As truth became clear to me, I'm the fractured and I'm the sword Draw what's left of my energy, sever ties to this broken world Saturate me into the dark well, where I am forced to reside Saturate me into the dark well, where I am forced to hide Saturate me into the dark well, I fortify on the inside Saturate me into the dark well, tattered wither left of the wise Frigid now my embrace, it once elated Motionless abandon, stone heart reclamation This loss of transparency, dictates a solemn demise This exploitation will rape the life from your eyes You are no more You are no more You are no more You are no more You are no more You are no more
