The Emergence
02:48
|

The shadows cry out, emerge
Bare witness to my rebirth
Years I have waited
My soul suffocating
To think that my feelings were poison
Though I have slept with defeat, I have sharpened my teeth
Waiting to embrace the chosen.
Open your eyes
Read through the lines
And know that the tale is far from embellished
A world traumatized, a serpent's demise
How foolish they were to believe we were gone
The visions call forth through the deafening silence.
We'll rip out the tongues of all our usurpers.
And cut the throats of false prophets
A warning to all false gods

The Hunt
03:42
|

Now, Embrace the union of lion and the lamb
To hold so close, what matters most
Nothing will undo these plans
Moving under the looming eyes of night
By unwavered force, I regale these ghosts
With acts of unending madness
Run and hide, there's no undoing the bindings
Bite and thrash and gnaw,
The prize I seek is far from inviting
No one should die alone,
The walls now speak of the anguish that's tainted this home
Here you'll lie, always to be beside me
The thrill of watching you run, only satiates the beast inside me.
Far from insanity, the artist that dwells in me
Has captured you perfectly, an eternal image
Laced with impurity, my hands do not see mercy
Covered in crimson red, fixated with anguish
Here, we dance through these cursed, winding halls
In fear, we will no longer suffer alone
Suffer alone
Now, let's bring a close to this game of cat and mouse
Your coming was foretold, in the echo of these souls I have taken hold
Believe
I will make you believe in me

The Witness
04:18
|

I did what I had to do to you
Limb from limb you lay strewn apart
Intrusion, confusion
Now run little rabbit, run
To sleep with my demons
Now look what you've made me become
My fingers caressing, the cold of this lifeless form
Prying eyes taunt and torture
At these hands, they are painted crimson
They dine with disorder,
O'God why’d he have to die
It’s no surprise
That you'd slip up
A failure who'll never be saved
A cursed existence
Only destined to be depraved
Until death do us part
An impression sealed in disaster
This primal lust, your one true master
You know not what dwells within
A date with death is sealed
As the prey scamper and cower
The devil makes a deal
The predator shall be devoured.
It is insane
To think that our story will see such an ending
Primally enslaved
Our debt to death shall never be paid
Why does God give them the gift of life
And curse me to take it away
I refuse to meet the gallows
I refuse to meet your God
I refuse to meet the gallows
I refuse to meet your God
It is done, recluse in shadow
Follow my voice, we'll see tomorrow

The Pessimist
02:54
|
|||
A monster in man, the antichrist
You are the one being who'll be my undoing
Mirror my pain and cast away
any belief that you've sunken your teeth in me
Without me, you'd be lying in gutters, a pawn to your urges
Without you, a figment, a concept beyond comprehension
Get the fuck out of my head
This fate I suffer is a cruel metaphor
This is a curse
That sees no relief
It threatens to tear through my heart
Without you, a fear, an architect of unholy musings
Without me, destined to this misery in bleak isolation
I am all that you are
We will never cease to be apart
Pessimistic endeavors will bind us, untethered
the creeping of all carnal pleasures

The Separatist
04:37
|

Now
I seek an end
To machinations that feast and fester
Inside this hollow mind of mine
Gnawing and gnashing for one grain of
Sanity, it poisons me, devour what hope
I thought once lived in me
The artist in me no longer dreams
The souls I reap will not make me complete
I seek the one, my everything, the last bastion of hope that lives in me
The devil that picks his teeth through me, an obsession that's slowly raping me
Silence in dreams, awakening, sever the ghosts of my past doings
Pillars of pain, an endless grave of all the innocent lives left to waste away
The deafening screaming will come to pass
Let go of sorrow, it never lasts
You are worthless
Devoid of purpose
Continue searching
As your demons surface
Bloodlust, you'll never find love
Of roses and dust,
The true nature you must embellish
Now I see, you're taunting me,
A fabled, fleeting memory
To covet and hold, the beast lurches forth
To crumble the hope, pale visions erode
And yet you say you're all I need, yet usher me to the baying of sheep
The catalyst
(I’m all that you need)
of true misery
(Listen to me)

The Optimist
04:03
|
|||
Oh, what perfection
The flesh and the form
An angel befit of the maestro's design
You are my light and I am your requiem
Of all things divine
You are the only one
To bask and to play with such untouched brilliance
To cower and wait
This obsession devours me
The eyes of God know not what has grown in me
I suffer and plead for the end to the misery
Little lamb, you've given me purpose
No longer shall silence embrace us
We'll finally see an end to this reprieve, deceive
With her love, this pain shall come to pass
With her love, this pain shall come to pass
You see her there, alone
A precious vessel that is yours to take
Beautiful visions of love
To call your own
She knows not what she is
A vessel, a concubine for all of our sins
Oh, what perfection
The flesh and the form
An angel befit of the maestro's design
You are my light and I am your requiem
Of all things divine
You are the only one
I’m taking back what’s rightfully mine
My purpose is not without reason

The master, the mistress, the innocence left
Seeing fruition to one's divine plan
All of this pain just to be with you
I was only doing what I had to
At last, the perfect feast that’s bound by the wrists
I’ll take what’s rightfully mine, for the girl will never be missed
Liar! Deceiver! You're a madman, courting oblivion
Realize there's nothing to fear
Be silent my love, the beast draws near
You're the reason for my whole existence
Can't you see you're a fool? Convincing yourself that I could love someone like you
Please, my love! I have scorched the earth just to learn of your existence
Recoil not, you will come to understand that you are all I needed
Selfish repentance, empower's defiance
Guilty and pious, sick is the lion
Am I no longer dreaming
Fuck you
I should have never trusted you
I just wanted to lay with you
Draped in the hell that you put me through
The muse has made me the fool
Paralyzing, the end draws near, with fate and destiny entangled
Hypnotizing, the cold of death, the feeling only once thought fabled
It is absurd
That the artist would be felled by his own creation
Falling, the rabbit hole closes as the beast ceases breathing
My love, what have you done
Silence encases me
A fitting tomb for all my memories
Am I no longer dreaming
Am I no longer dreaming
Obsession was the answer
Now death is our one true master

The Confession
02:01
|
|||
Here I lie
In this pool of red, awaiting my last breaths, seeking the final end
And yet, is there nothing more to be said
About the lives I have taken, the things I regret
Was there nothing more but this mere imagining I wrought
forth upon a world lay sleeping and bare
What am I to say? That my musings were pure
Their pain for my pleasure, was it not the existence befit of a God
Did I sit too high atop the throne of ambition? Flying too close to an unforgiving sun
It placed its knife in my gut. I screamed forth
Why
Was I not befit of your love
The beast that lived within me now slumbers, its claws and teeth too far away to brace this clarity
I see clearly the depths of the depravity I reaped forth from the tit of innocence
Once blind but, I see clearly, your portrait in my mind
O'How the walls of this empty home scream the names of women I have saved
Not saved
Silent no longer
I was merely a pawn in God's game
He wishes me to suffer in vain as the villain of a story so cleverly plotted out for me
An artist truly worthy of the name
This painting I so painfully ripped from the pits of my soul now spill across this cold barren floor
And I bellow out, what was it all for
What was it all for
