Life Promised Death
1. Nausea
Turning like a stone in the waves
That is swept away by the tides
A constant in the framework
That keeps the cycle moving onto
A phantom residing in stagnation
An undefined part of a fragmented whole
Invisibly slumbering through the crowds
Now i see the illness of reality...
Can you smell the angst of conversion?
The malodor that creates a wake of estrangement
Are we truly part of humankind
As elements in a blueprint?
Memorable association members?
Behold! recognize the nothingness -
The absurdity of existence
Gaze at yourself in the mirror
What do you see in this hollow image?
In this figureless compound
That you want to etch a face into
but your hands only feel like strangers
Now i see what's really me...
2. Buoyant Flames
Tune the anthems of malice
To release retained forces in a fierce greed
Driving this moros engine
Of a declining creation
that wallows with hideous groans
In a mania of greatness
Ascend! ascend!
Oon't step aside, break on through!
onwards! onwards!
Despise procrastination!
The era of contempt is on the right
And reclaims predominance
Ascend! ascend!
Don't step aside, break on through!
Onwards! onwards!
Despise procrastination!
Fuel your machine
That makes the pulse explode
On a triumphal procession
And in a smoldering excess
Hostile - spiteful - everlasting
And persistently awaiting
For every sacrifice you made
For every sorrow you have brought
With the climax comes the fallen
The era of contempt is on the rise
And reclaims predominance
3. Into Vertigo
Someplace else -
Withdrawn in remote landscapes
Away from what pretends to be in consonance
The true temple of eternal bliss lies hidden
That knows no claim - no ecstasy
T where deserters abscond from overkill
Exhausted from velocity that culminates in vertigo
When blurred thoughts got out of control
Unable to differ above and below
As in a cynical escape from a rest
As in a constant high of rust and haste
The pulse is in a fever aching for the overdose
That resurrects primeval instincts
Aheartfelt yearning to undo the turmoil
That weighs heavily upon the shoulders
Lured by the soul-cleansing force of silence
That is nestled in the shades to
Ar econciliating catharsis of the apostates
To leave without a trace
Everything and everyone behind
4. Chimera
A shimmering in the distance
Blazing cracks in the sky
Carving holes into the mind
An absorbent layer upon
A mirage that mirrors the night
A drifter who lost the trace
Meandering through desolation
A vanished spirit on the edge
Getting lost in desert storms
Corroding particles (of the earth)
Seem to slowly melting upwards
And all the colors are fading away
Sleeping with the eyes open
Locked in a swoon dystopia
But there is this sole sense of delight
The idea of how it feels to burn alive
Sleeping with the eyes open
A vague outline dissolves
In sweeping tempests
Crippled bones shattering
In harsh gravel drifts
An abandoned skin
Of a lone - prowling - viper
A hiss in the drought
Of a cut off tongue when
Dust floods the vessels
Into endless streams of carmine
An insidious blackout inherits
Receding and withering - unceasingly
A great disappearance
A pale glance of a past splendor
A drifter who lost the trace
Meandering through desolation
A vanished spirit on the edge
Getting lost...
5. Stray Dogs
Dreary days are slipping by
A mental noise that keeps hammering
This biting anger - the endless pain
An ominous fear that still goes on
And the lights turn off again
The sun sets and darkness grows
When drabness weaves its way
And reveals the true face of decline
The stench of the sewers
Circulates around the hallways
An iron taste of corrosion that
Surrounds the flickering lights
Light dying stars stringed on a wire
Crackling - discharging - expiring
Amidst a downward spiral
Of a feigned and false tranquility
...And the faint... it grows
And grows and grows...
...As the world... it goes
And goes and goes...
A straying dog that howls in rage
Left alone and on the run
Broken-down with a shattered spine
Srawing circles on the edge
Like a rat sliding down the drain
An abysmal fall into uncertainty
Adead man walking
A prowler in the night
Hunting his own shadow
Beneath the traffic lights
A dying star
Crackling - discharging - expiring
6. Descent
An inner nightfall is passing through
Fingers scrape across the floor
Have i walled myself alive?
Trapped in a state of giving all up?
Why does this happen?
What has happened to this place?
I don't even try to cry for help
As my voice would dry up in my throat
Am i being pursued? hunted like a lame veal?
What is it, that kindles such a blazing fire?
In a crawling hysteria
When i barely feel my limbs
In the need to emerge from the idle days
That petrify my consciousness
A small riot is a craving
An attempted escape that failed
To leave everything behind
While heading into nothing
Rise! pull yourself up and run away!
Fall! drag yourself down
Ad descend into the night!
Emptiness comes crawling
Longing to break off again
Fires are burning down
The walls of resilience
It pulls me away into the void
Fall! drag yourself down
And descend into the night!
Emptiness comes crawling
Longing to break off again
Fires are burning down
The walls of resilience
It pulls me away into the void
The sky looks like a moon from here
Admidst the stones of an ancient well
This mother's womb grants me the rest
I am here... i remain... whole... in the ground
7. Lost Momentum
A caravan crawls along in affliction
Dazed and reveling in oblivion
Collapse of a disintegrated entity
Wavering and mired in a mass hypnosis
Fallen trailblazers entangled in
closed ranks of dread and scare
Imbalance - alienate - mesmerize
Standstill - a mess - torpor
Blackout - staggering in a swoon
Worshiping abandoned watchtowers
Allegiance to the ill-fated leaders
Asymbiosis out of sync
When a rift becomes a canyon
Waking coma - blindead - palsied
Disorder brings despair onto
The anger of a frozen mass
Which declines further in the ether
Neglected idols evaporate in confusion
Lost their spirit which never existed
Isolated in a toxic dependence
Undermined impulse for self-determination
Of retarded egos walking in amnesia
A caravan crawls along in affliction
Dazed and reveling in oblivion
Collapse of a disintegrated entity
Wavering and mired in a mass hypnosis
