Confront the false image
Of the remembered self
Illusionary mask carried by
Conceited hands
Shame hidden from sight
The weight of water
Parallel to the soul
Drowning in insolent flesh
The mask I do not know
The face concealed
By cracks in the ice
The body shatters under fathomless weight
Crushing into itself from all sides
Dead lake resides
Behind my eyes
Who am I?
Fragmented life
Crushed beneath the weight of the self
Disintegrating through the wounds of flesh
The body is a failure
The weight of water parallel to the soul
Drowning in insolent flesh
The mask I do not know, the face consealed
By cracks in the ice
Coursing through
An ego unattainable
Pulsing within
Desperation to reintegrate
The mass deforming
Sisyphean in its boundless weight
Crater of the soul
The mind's become an empty cradle
A hopeless space
Vast chasm deplete of life
Eyes that wonder
Searching for a distant face
The body is a failure
The mind is my killer
I stand at the edge of the lake
The body is a failure
Swallowed by emptying shadow
Siphoning my poisonous sorrow
Drowning in shadow
Induced by the agony
Leaving reality
Darkness encasing me
Consume me
The water is all I have left

Dread Sentinel
04:48
|

Liquid light strikes through me
As I bask in the emptying shadow
At the lip of the lake
That my mind now pours into
Scarring through dead sinew
Igniting membranes and embryotic thoughts
A primordial promise
Of self preservation
Prying open
Lucidity
Non-Euclidean labyrinth
Awakens in me
Eyes growing
From mirrors I dream
Witness to all I have been
Lacerations showing
As the lake bleeds
Birthing, emerging
From shallow waters
Whispering teeth
Faced with despair
Of knowing I am no longer part of the self
Tearing at the seams of my consciousness
Trying to rebuild
Lost within a vast chasm
Of multiple lives
Memory eroding
As I reach out from the bank
Sinking into what I was
Circulating through phantasms
Each hour a second now lost
Clarity a curse, only fleeting
Synthesis of the fraudulent form
Reflections of water consuming
Boundless lake
Eye scarring the Earth
Sentinel; judex;
An echo unforming
A form depleted
An echo unforming
A form depleted
Now witness
The birth of dread
Swallow the lake
I am known (yet to be)
Only as what has been
Grasping at (pushing back)
Anesthetise and erase
I am no longer known
I am nothing
I exist
No more

From Beyond The Mirror
06:03
|

Traitor
Haunted by my own premonition
Mercilessly stalked by my own apparition
Deceitful bastard speaking of sublime resonance
These memories
Contorting me
Seeking out my weakness
Traitor to my humanity
It slumbers deep within the void
Malice reflected upon
Calling from beyond
A voice that is leeching my soul
A demon absolving
Reducing aeons into fragmented dreams
Who am I
And what is left
Light eaten by the gaping maw
A mouth so dark
So hideous
And gluttonous
Beyond reflection lies
Impersonation
Imperfection
Hallucination
Disintegrate
Traitor to my humanity
It slumbers deep within the void
Malice reflected upon
Calling from beyond
Reflect
Refract
Fracture
Fractured Soul
From beyond the mirror
Dawn breaks as I crack the mirror
The water at my feet
A cleansing pool of empty dreams
The mirror unclean
Cracked and unseen
The body that burns beneath it is not me
Corrupted reflection
Deception
Perfection
The altar of wounds
Revelling corrections
To this living waste
This body accursed
The mirror replaced

Radiant Spectre
06:39
|
|||
Awakened by the vengeful spirit of my wretched loathing
Irradiated spectre illuminates my emptied husk
Impoverished God of malcontent
Brightly glowing spectacle
Of woven woe
Needle threaded through the passage of time
Striking words out of mind
Inhale shapely as I lose the light
Safety in the darkness
Hope absent of light x2
(Chorus)
As I approach the
Radiant spectre
Woeful deity
Consuming my everything
Befouled by my own insolence
Flesh unyielding in this abyss
Light won't save me
I don't exist
Trudging through the blackness
In the basin of the lake
I seek passage through my own mind
I have nowhere left to hide
Wretched vermin, I am, crawling through my own filth
Abnegation of my opalescent husk
I am now hopeless
Demon of the endless pit
Reaching upward
Tracing the spectres
(Chorus)
As I approach the
Radiant spectre
Woeful deity
Consuming my everything
Forced to face the cracked mirror
Forced to eat of my own flesh
Drag me through the glass and tear away my sundered flesh
Drag me
Drag me down
Wretched vermin, I am, crawling through my own filth
Abnegation of my opalescent husk
As I approach the
Radiant spectre
Woeful deity
Consuming my everything
Drag me through glass
I see it beckoning to me
Perish beneath
I stray into the depths
A demon without recourse
No sound
No memory
Abyssal heart seeking that which lurks
Beyond the shallow edge of reality
Oh light
Betrayer
Send the blood for me
Let the whole Earth quiver
Let weakness be borne

Piety
03:46
|
|||
Breaching the surface of my self realised dread
Dwelling beneath the shadow of inhaling light
Living through the torture of impaling night
Seeping through the cavities of my mind
Paralytic soul devoid of all consciousness
I am one with the pain
Born as I waste away
Nothing left within me
Lay me down at the lake
Desiccated husk leaking into empty realms
The water soiled by the inconsistent memory
Broken vessels seeking passage through primordial dread
The grief I carry hardened to my back
A shell of contempt bleak fear of death
All that I've loved has been torn away
All that I've held has rotted
Immaculate misconceptions
The sanctity of flesh
Unclean victim to the endless depths
Terminal of my shame
Narcissistic piety
Shattering the mirror
Clawing open the void
Staring at the throat of my terror
Lucidate my fear
I am one with the pain
Born as I waste away
Nothing left within me
Lay me down at the lake
The unbearable weight
of consciousness
To be lifted from the self
The pain of living
Relinquished from all dying flesh
Desperately wailing at the boundary of existence
Shattering the opulent chamber of the soul
In the chapel absent of light
Severed from the body as the lake
Consumes me
Immured in memories of what I have yet to become
Drowning in the visions of a chapel
Made of skin
Beckoned by the gaze of the Impoverished God

Death Knows
07:55
|
|||
This is a soul provocation
Fertile mire of deepest flirtation
As I push back, my fingers entwine with it
The vengeful darkness that is stealing my sight
From whence I came, now to return
The body remains
Death knows that I am not
Long for this world
Death knows that I fear not
The end
Untouched and unwavering
A figment once paralysed
The body a crypt, betraying
My sanctum is this flesh unwanted
My burden is this flesh unyielding
All past has become my skin
I know nothing but misery
Skin softened by liquids of piety
Lipids dissolve their cracked foundations
The soul escapes its molecular chamber
Seeking refuge in the boundless depths
Lain to waste under the throne of want
Gifted grief and hollow bones
Lain to waste without all I that want
Light leaves through me as I drag myself
Death knows that I am not
Long for this world
Death knows that I fear not
The end
Untouched and unwavering
Death knows I do not belong here
Struggling against the tides that drag me deeper down
No longer resigned to my fate in the endless depths
How could I accept such a forlorn descent
My body withers against the waters weight
Falling away
Facing the end
Knowing my pain
Drowning beneath
Death knows that I do not belong here
Death knows
Death knows nothing
