"With Unfettered Tread" Death to the flesh - thresh to progress! Death to the flesh - thresh to progress!! Death to the flesh - thresh to progress!!! Death to the flesh - thresh to progress!!!! Immaculate rejection Abortion of conjecture Deliverance from oppression Through acts of transgression Conviction to end the astringent Imprecation by the resistant Interpretive insistence Leads to spiritual subsistence Inhabiting the flesh The consequence of consequence Invocate the god within The price of life we must contend To surpass the constraints of time And transcend to the divine A legacy of inherent grace Disguised by an intolerable face Intrinsic defamation A flagrant convalescence Supportable contagions Esoteric misconceptions Open this coffin - I'm suffocating Deliver me from this pestilent world Encompass me with the light of conception I travel this path to be reborn Lifeless life disintegrating Disposal of a withering soul Eternal damnation (a contrived image) Purge me from an irrelevant role Pillage my mind and poison my heart Break these chains and open the doors Bury the hatchet to score the skull Death is relief as life is restored The finite within the infinite Desires life - retires life Dying inspires the finding Of inner light (Solos) Dying while trying to Conquer the strife Trying while dying to Not take your life Darkness descends like The clouds of a storm There's no solace in knowing That we were forewarned By ceasing to breath We're becoming de-ceased A spiritual bondage To flesh is released A morbid affliction Recycling demise There's no comfort in death When the funeral is life!

"Fever Dream Ritual" Tablets of creation Written there in stone Forged within clay vessels With earth was made a home Keepers of the travesty The watchers of the skies The heaven's share of "at most fear" The heart is filled with lies Seers of a dawning age Transcendence of the mind The flesh becomes the obstacle Die to live or live to die (Solo) Tablets of creation Written there in stone Forged within clay vessels With earth was made a home Beneath the dirt lay coffins Steeped in rot and bones Dog treats for the future The gods made bowls for thrones Keepers of the travesty The watchers of the skies The heaven's share of "at most fear" The heart is filled with lies Seers of a dawning age Transcendence of the mind The flesh becomes the obstacle Die to live or live to die Antediluvian - flushed but some survive Trans-fig-ured, cult-ur-ed, and dis-eased The ladder must be climbed Like robots and the circuitry The guts have been exposed The double helix spiral staircase Creaks with a maddening Fever Dream Ritual! Fever Dream Ritual!! Fever Dream Ritual!!! Fever Dream Ritual!!!! (Solo) Fever Dream Ritual! Fever Dream Ritual!! Fever Dream Ritual!!! Fever Dream Ritual!!!! (Solos) Keepers of the travesty The watchers of the skies The heaven's share of "at most fear" The hearts are filled with lies Seers of a dawning age Transcendence of the mind The flesh becomes the obstacle Die to live or live to die Wars of gods and wars of men It seems it's all the same A fighting with the "sacred laws" With nothing being gained Convoluted is the scheme The masters as the slaves That which serves in turn condemns The ragged fated days Fever Dream Ritual! Fever Dream Ritual!! Fever Dream Ritual!!! Fever Dream Ritual!!!!

"Decimation (Blood Tithe)" Humanity's a social disease Spread by procreation Enter the realm of genocide A solution to stagnation Time to reap the sheep of gods The slaves of conformation Obliterate the human race Chastisement by persuasion Death to all who oppose or bow No partiality endowed I pour from the cup of wanton clout Until the flesh is disavowed I'm the shepherd of elimination Empirical domination by Systematic abomination Come forth and receive The flogging of your life Whether you're spawned by darkness Or are a child of the light All followers of any faith Evil or divine Shall never circumvent My hatred towards mankind I hate you all! I'll kill you all! Espouse the hate I generate Belief in my cause will extricate Implore my gracious gift innate To never walk adrift in chains Aggregate for defecation Concede to my will of expurgation Pernicious choice of separation From tangent ties of correlation Time to rid the bowels of human waste Spill all blood - extravasate Souls will be unbound to reach their fate By means of death brought by my rage (Solos) Decimation (blood tithe) Depopulation overdrive Every year eliminate One tenth of every slave The means to dominate Cognitive dissonance Conflicting narratives Egoic matters shattered (Solos)

"Violence as Aphrodisiac" When weaving the tapestry While tending the fields of creation The doorway is not an abode Seek not to nest in poison The sting of flesh robust The pathways 'ever entangle The spell of illusion - a web To twist the mind impure Traipsing through the corpses By means of fiends And thresher steads The harvesting engorges A cornucopia of entrails With prophecies a looming A fortune teller's telling A prophet's profit grooming Aesthetic ascetics in blooming A silent instituting Regards from the ancient abyss A salutation of salivation A salutation of salivation A salutation of saliva-"..." A salutation of salivation A salutation of salivation A salutation of... Tethered to oblivion With teeth that gleam Of cheap chagrin The tearing tears And weeping woes That gnaw the maw Of beggars' foes Rescind the vagabond The meaning of the dreaming Seems to be vision quest Relaying a slated tomb of doom The violence - it beckons The violence - it reckons The violence - enlivens The violence as aphrodisiac! Free the glee With a killing spree Heed the deed Of misanthropy Feed the greed For debauchery Seed the need To sow the stifling weeds There are tongues In these trees With severed limbs Discarded Becoming smoldering ashes An etheric consciousness Haunted Grappling with clutches Of madness Writhing without any Vastness Procurement of lechery The raving paving the way A culpable anthology A miscreant of misery A corrugated lunacy Corruptible idolatry A novice shuffling in the lurch Astutely sitting on a perch To mockingly besmirch the mirth Of the innocuous naive Once upon a battle ground The eyes are drooping Like a hound Obnoxious rumbling in the air A motive with a dire stare To seek the hand that Feeds the crown And frown because The crow is drown A shell of winsome bold attack Violence as aphrodisiac!

"Tonguing the Amputee" Nailed upon the cross A lamb to wipe away the sins of man Predestined to be crucified A god incarnate suicide A god of such enormous wrath Loves so much he kills himself A fisherman of our souls we find He's chumming the waters Casting... Mental disease Appease without a care Infest like fleas Upon a wild hare Dying to breed The need is not deterred Implant the seed Then heed and cancel... The albatross hangs around their necks As they're caught within his net Proficient act of telling lies Reflections on premeditated signs Bubbling forth like the fury Of ten-thousand fiery suns With millions of sycophants in tow Pleading to be freed from... Mental disease Appease without a care Infest like fleas Upon a wild hare Dying to breed The need is not deterred Implant the seed Then heed and cancel... Abort the swine Imbibe the brine Contort the mind Deprive the hive (Solos) Abort the swine Imbibe the brine Contort the mind Deprive the hive Nailed upon the cross A lamb to wipe away the sins of man Predestined to be crucified A god incarnate suicide A god of such enormous wrath Loves so much he kills himself A fisherman of our souls we find He's chumming the waters Casting... Dread upon the constellations Mankind in turmoil for millennia Malediction reigns where fear resides Cursed before and after death (Solo)

"Veiled in Flesh" Mortuary feelings 'Tis the time for chilling As I ponder being With what has stopped breathing Lust begins to fill me Arousing me to a blue throbbing Exposing the corpse Revealing the ever appealing Naked demise As I open up the freezer I let my mind drift with ease Observing as the body thaws out I can hardly wait to see How the dead bitch will come closer To what I desire most Thankless is the living partner Dead ones make the perfect hosts Fuck them without dealing With the "after-glow" Come then watch some t.v. Then fall asleep and dream free While the hormones are satisfied Love is nothing special Sex just takes a shovel (Solo) Mortuary feelings Necrophiliac dealings Pay for instant victims Freshly put to rest In order to "get some" Rape the forever willing But not before the killing The "little death" is thrilling But total death's the best When it's time For the veiled in flesh To become the hollow spoils The smell is so erotic The touch is so divine An absolute pleasure to treasure Ardor of the funeral parlor

"Languishing in Ligature" I'm not happy With my being There's no saving So quit your lame praying I do not believe In a deity We just die then rot No matter what is lost (Solos) I cannot fool myself With trickery That others see No proof or need For sanctity The preciousness Does not exist There is no time For contemplation Though I keep My mind busy With mundane tasks To occupy it I run away from Everything There is no time For contemplation Though I keep My mind busy With mundane tasks To occupy it I run away from Everything I chase my tail To catch my breath I wander along But never wonder How I even Came to be To ponder The living mystery (Solos) I'm not happy With my being There's no saving So quit your lame praying I do not believe In a deity We just die then rot No matter what is lost I cannot fool myself With trickery That others see No proof or need For sanctity The preciousness Does not exist There is no time For contemplation Though I keep My mind busy With mundane tasks To occupy it I run away from Everything I do not see any beauty Surrounding me All is a sullen spark For the dark Cold is the space Where I remain (Solo) Stark... Opaque... Grey... Dismay... Bleak... Grim... Grief... Truth.
