Ruinous Cruelty
04:55
|

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
chemically altered,
momentarily uplifted
the human drug becomes
the human host
trepidatious fragility
magically transformed
then violently ripped away
such turbulent insecurity
spiritual flagellation
reveling in your humiliation
narcotic emotion
abruptly revoked
intoxicated on your own victimhood
reckless elation
another's violation
unforgivable?
unfathomable
you manipulate your puppets
to do your shameful bidding
while you sit back
and bathe in the carnage

Cowardice in Collusion
04:17
|
|||
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vultures encircling the appointed pariah
Rabidly panicking
the tribe unites in contempt
of a common enemy
scapegoat for all that ails
The wronged now wrong others
guilty or not
The cycles of abuse perpetual
The secret satisfaction of pure punishment
The foulest side of human nature rears its ugly head
The radical as archaic and punitive
as the spiritually extreme
A way to cleanse the clan of the deviating
A cloak worn by the self righteous
to mask their own shame
Projection, deflection
A means of diverting blame
No tolerance for ambivalence
Victim replicates oppressor
Cast out in a tribunal most secretive
blocked, suppressed, and gagged
Robbed of your own narrative
Watch your own history rewritten before you
Cryptic intentions lace each and every motive

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A figure most polarizing
charmingly nefarious
I will gut you from within
Break you down,
leave you dazed and destroyed
and live inside your skin
Run you through a maze of contradiction
Commanding orders in the midst of mania
In times of distress I will regress
to reptilian means of dominance over your will
Dehumanize to demonize
Standing amongst the remnants of what once was your life
My powers are reaped from the power I have stripped from you
Erecting one's self in the ruin of another
And I will smite you without an once of pentitence

Consummation(humanless)
06:21
|
|||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
let the turgid waves swallow me whole
dispose of this rotten vessel
one less human upon the earth
parasites ravage me
strength in numbers, their destructiveness formidable
one less human tumor upon the earth
lead me to the leper colony once again
what the masochist seeks the masochist gets
one less human tumor upon the earth

Intolerant Annihilation
03:09
|
|||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anti humanist
in honor of selfishness
Crushing the "lesser" man
Your comfort reaped from the trodden peasantry
Tyrannical moralizing of the amoral
Their maniacal reign!
Arrogance and dominance
Annihilation of tolerance
Adversary of protection
Steamroll all life forms
Leave a smoldering planetary carcass
for your life-draining offspring!
Your lord will provide
what you've taken away
Raptured to imaginary paradise
leaving wanton decay
Destructive militance
from alleged reformists
Repellent insolence
silencing voices of dissent
Replicate the odious tactics of your adversary
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Grovel In Servitude
04:44
|
|||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lukewarm body
A sitting corpse
Human punching bag
A glutton for the punisher
Chained by the neck
to the relentless gears of "progress"
Forever...
on the front lines of abuse
In the dankest depths, trenches of toil
Grind you to a pulp with no remorse
Hand straight to mouth
the rations of subservience
An exercise in soul disintegration
That's compulsory
And yet some are hollow enough to beg for more
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Self Sought Scourge
04:37
|
|||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
destroy this vessel of shame
no conscience for repugnant behaviours
viral punishment not befitting enough
wake in self disgust
the sobering light of repulsion
a black hole of transgression and despair
only moral vacancy makes the blood flow
please!
bring battery upon this mind and body
for crimes of mendacity
spiraling into shame
debasing of the self
blacklist me from humanity
wallow in a mental sewer
this being cannot be restrained
only bludgeoned, bled and destroyed
