Dragging the Corpse

"Dragging the Corpse"
Born unto this world
The treachery of drudgery
To drag the corpse through
The miserable repose
Forced to serve the cold
Evergreen agony
Ashen grey sovereignty
Pallid way to face the grave
With the only hope of
A light aflame
Is with a pyre or cremation!
Born unto this world
The treachery of drudgery
To drag the corpse through
The miserable repose
Forced to serve the cold
Chains - the clamouring chains
Walk into the wind
With dust blown in your eyes
To breathe
When breath is choked away
Deep within the night
As sleep becomes a spite
Evergreen agony
Ashen grey sovereignty
Pallid way to face the grave
With the only hope of
A light aflame
Is with a pyre or cremation!
Slow climb
Uphill striving
Ever onward
Toward oblivion
Top of the mountain
Cliffside view achieved
Pinnacle - monumental
Downcast
Cast down
Breathe - Be Earth

"Fit for the Undertaker"
Born with a thorn in my side
Adorned with a thirst unquenched - called pride
Never to discover all the wonders beyond me
Living in the mirror
That's plush with tragedy
Coiffed for the trough
I'm dressed to kill
Pretty!
Oh!
So pretty!
Esteem!
I seek!
Reveal!
Lipstick on thick
The blush unreal
I'm going out on the town
To get my fill
Prey!
Oh!
Such prey!
Gleam!
Knife!
Glamour!
Scream!
Pierced!
Silence!
Body!
Dragged!
Into darkness!
Fit for the Undertaker!
(Solos)
Fit for the Undertaker!
Fit for the Undertaker
Healthy living
Yoga stretched
Vitality
A waste of flesh
A waste of time
A waste of every
Curse and rhyme
Typical stench
Of second glance
Grabbed - fucked
Dumped like trash

"Strewn Before Vultures"
Among the heaps
With wickedness binds
A merciless onslaught
Without confines
A declaration from a
Profanation cult
Destroying all who
Stand in their way
One, two - murder a few!
Three, four - kill some more!
Five, six - slaughter...transfix!
Seven, eight - slay with hate!

(Solos)
With heads on pikes
And dreams on the altar
Sacrifice before the gods
To feast on the blood and the fire
Called upon to berth the storm
A vortex of suffering
Echoes through with chaos to spare
Disseminate the miserable torture
The agony becomes so clear
(Solos)
With heads on pikes
And dreams on the altar
Sacrifice before the gods
To feast on the blood and the fire
Called upon to berth the storm
A vortex of suffering
Echoes through with chaos to spare
Disseminate the miserable torture
The agony becomes so clear
To cast aspersions unto the wind
Elevate the victory with the last grin
Censure the enemies
Don't let them fade
Into the darkness
Strewn before the vultures
Make them suffer
For all eternity
Forgive them not for
All their travesties
To cast aspersions unto the wind
Elevate the victory with the last grin
Censure the enemies
Don't let them fade
Into the darkness
Strewn before the vultures
Make them pay
For all eternity
Forgive them not for
All their travesties

"Guardian of the Other World"
Here I sit
All alone!
There's something drifting in
I'm not alone, I'm NOT ALONE!
There's a dreadful
Buzzing sound
Of evil wings
It's dancing all around
It stares at me
With eyes ablaze
It stands two towers tall!
Swirling all about
It has no mouth
Yet whispers fears
That makes me cringe
And cower down
Help me!
I'm frozen and frail
Caught in its trance
How will I avail?
Psychological warfare
The smoke within my mind
I've come to greet my ally
But now I meet and only find...

"Soulless Solace"
Spouting off of history
Disregard of mystery
The waters of creation
Ethers of clandestine treaties
Reigning while it's raining
The gullible drink while they drown
In sadness as it's pouring
Reaping of the weeping
Soulless Solace
No light, no heart
Cut off, twisted
Warped beyond creative thought
Parasite - thwarting
Manipulate to dominate
Infesting the auric fields
Tampering with tendrils creeping
Artificial intelligence
Inorganic confluence
Supplication transformation
Modification - assimilate!

"Arbiter of the Abattoir"
With the glint of steel
And steel eyed glare
The arbiter exhibits
A devotion to exterminate
As a flesh carver extraordinaire
There's no casual casualties
For the...
Arbiter of the Abattoir!
Arbiter of the Abattoir!!
Reckless abandon
To relish the hellish
Free form execution
Mindlessly killing
While searching for the soul
A bag of tricks
To castigate the insurmountable
Atheistic fascination
Fascist inclinations
Rebuking life
No value in
Unquantifiable prose
The poetry of nature
Even less than
So, now orchestrate
The delightful butchery

Hunger of the hunter
Striking with the hammer
Smashing down!
Lightning bolts and thunder
Quick as a flash
It's showered down
A god of his own making!
There's not ever any questioning!
Absolute power - absolute deception
The irony of ironies
The blood within the veins
There's no words to express
The music - music of the singing blade
Slicing as the gushing gashes
Spill a sprawling serenade
There's a hint of deep
Ambrosia wafting in the orgone air
A fragrance of such eloquence
Eliciting a stirring...

Thoughts without a thinker
How can this be?

"Grinding the Wind"
Wake up in the morning
Truly it's a mourning
I fucking suck at living
I'm good at dying
Every fucking day
I wish I wasn't alive
Sick of all this bullshit
Yet I can't quit
Paradise lies out the windows
All we do is march in circles
Shackled to this wheel of torture
Punishment for crimes are rendered
Wake up in the morning
Truly it's a mourning
I fucking suck at living
I'm good at dying
Every fucking day
I wish I wasn't alive
Sick of all this bullshit
Yet I can't quit
Busy treading water
Drowning in the shallows
Demons in the sky
Are howling louder
Driving me insane
With their taunting
Callous screams
My life goes down the drain
As I'm grinding the wind
Paradise lies out the windows
All we do is march in circles
Shackled to this wheel of torture
Punishment for crimes are rendered
Paradise lies out the windows
All we do is march in circles
Shackled to this wheel of torture
Punishment is grinding the wind!
(Solos)
Wake up in the morning
Truly it's a mourning

Drowning in the shallows
Demons in the sky
Are howling louder
Driving me insane

Callous screams
My life goes down the drain

"Night Falls Fast"
Life without you is unbearable
All I can see is you fading away
Murdered before my eyes - the tragedy
Slowly your soul couldn't take anymore
Countless the hours I spent with you
Never for granted - I cherished you always
Time will not heal this eternal wound
No joy in my heart as your ashes bring
Oceans of tears
(Solo)
Countless the hours I think of you
From I miss you already to
I'll miss you forever
Time will not heal this eternal wound
No joy in my heart
Only grief from the innocence
Lost!
Night Falls Fast!
Every day I die with you
Still alive I die with you
Drifting off with memories of life with you
You're always in my mind
Your absence bleeding through
Night Falls Fast!
(Solo)
Every day I die with you
Still alive I die with you
Drifting off with memories of life with you
You're always in my mind
Your absence bleeding through
No comfort in life
No solace in death
Your vibrance extinguished
My life left bereft
The sun shall never shine again!
Fuck this fucking life
The endless pain and sacrifice
Fuck this fucking life
When there's nothing to hold
There's no hope to be had
The sun shall never shine again!
Life without you is unbearable
All I can see is you fading away
Murdered before my eyes - the tragedy
Slowly your soul couldn't take anymore
Countless the hours I think of you
From I miss you already to
I'll miss you forever
Time will not heal this eternal wound
No joy in my heart
Only grief from the innocence
Lost!
Night Falls Fast!
Night Falls Fast!
